Hey peeps! I'm lovin' all the reviews! Makes me feel really loved! Hope
you enjoy the chapter and sorry it's been taking so long, needed to keep
the creative juices flowing. Did anyone see the X-men Evo episode this
morning? Is it just me or are they trying to give Jean a bigger role? I'm
not going to apologize to Jean fans, because she's evil, and rather
useless. It doesn't coincide with the rest of the series anyway, they've
always focused more on Rogue and the younger X-men. Rogue has more depth
anyway!
If you have any comments about the new series, particularly the latest
episodes, I'd like to hear them.
Jean's gotten more annoying since she and Scott got together, and they graduated.
I HATE JEAN!
PS. The Four Horsemen are VERY cool, it'll be interesting to see how this develops! Brainbuster!
Charmed1s-Thank you for ALL your reviews! Boredom sucks, so to help you cope I decided to not keep you hanging in suspense. This chapter for you!
Chapter Twelve-Voices from the Past
"Kat!" Scott yelled above the din. The earth rocked beneath his feet and he stumbled sideways, eyes fixed on the collapsed figure. "Kitty!" How? Why? His mind scrambled over unanswerable questions. Semi- familiar voices were getting louder and he knew he didn't have much time, whoever was attacking this place, they'd be upon them soon. Was he strong enough?
"Bazooka eyes! Get moving!" Logan roared, scooping up the unconscious Kat into his arms. "The place is trashed!"
Outside loud whoops and hollers rose to the yellow full moon slung low in the sky, reaching the ears of the two men. Scott smiled, tapping his visor. 'We'll get out of this.' He told himself. 'We'll find Rogue.' "Stairs?" He called to Logan, as he hurled himself down the hall.
"Best choice."

A cold arm reached from the darkness, as the bombs rained down around the city like a blinding hurricane. Two young girls huddled together beneath the protection of a cardboard roof, their faces terrified and angry. They hear the screams of those around them, running for their lives. They hear the dying moans, rising to the murky sky. Above them the horizon is stained red by sun burned smoke. Below them the cement is blackened, crusty, and cracked. Hand in hand they run. Shoved forward and thrust back by the shockwaves. They run. A whistling sound hisses through the air, and darkness cascades in around them.
My name is Rogue. The words drip around Ty, like drops of water splashing on a calm lake. A faint pinging sound trickling through the darkness. The shadows wriggle as a thin ghostly form steps out of the darkness.
'You're me.' Ty whispered, reaching towards the flickering shape. Her hair rustling, as her steps echoed hollowly.
Nothing registered the pale girl's grey ghostly eyes, and she continued. Ah am what you left behind. Ty shivered. The part of yer soul yah lost. Sent into a darker abyss, locked into a corner of yer mind. Ah want us ta be whole.
'No!' Ty hissed. 'Ah won't go back! Ah won't be her again!' She clenched her fists tightly, as fingernails clawed at her soft palms. 'Ah'm Ty.'
There is a future, waiting for yah. Aht belongs ta you Rogue.
'Ah'm Ty!' Ty growled. 'Ah won't be taken. Not by yah er any other apparition." Crimson blood flowed over her fingers, taking no heed, Ty snarled. 'Get out a mah mind!'
Take mah hand Rogue. Ah can make thah pain go away.
A wellspring of fear burst in Ty's soul. 'Ah'm not in pain.' A lie straight from hell. 'Ah accept death.'
Not a good liar. Ah can feahl yer pain, Ah can make it all go away. Come with me Rogue.
'Who are yah?' Ty asked fearfully. This was no aspect of her. She didn't believe this BS for as second. Tempting as it was.
I'm you Rogue.
'Bull Shit!' Ty screamed.
Rogue, the girl reached out. Her pale fingers glowing in the writhing shadows. Palm up. Destiny calls. Suddenly her hand whipped out, seizing Ty's. Screaming they plunged into darkness. ~~~~~
"Chere?" Gambit asked. The tortured face below him writhed and faded in a blast of white light. Leaving Gambit alone in a burned out bar, among it's frightened, moaning, and howling occupants. Dumbfounded and worried,

Across the city, Kat awoke screaming. ~~~~~
"Welcome Rogue."
