Reunions
She was standing in the chamber; a nervous expression marked her face. She turned to face the master of magnetism, biting her lower lip, "Ya'll said this ain't gonna hurt, rahght?"
"I never said any such thing Rogue," he then shut the door on a terrified girl.
She felt herself being sucked into the chamber, and seeing blinding red lights. Her eyes then closed and she could feel the blood in her body boil. She wanted more than anything to rip her skin open to breathe. The pain unbearable, she screamed and was then thrown back.
The door of the chamber opened, and she got to her feet slowly raising her head to make eye contact with Magneto. She felt, stronger. Rogue began to feel the power that she held; she moved her fingers and then began to walk towards Magneto.
"When do we go?" she asked him. As much as she was still herself, the immense power that she held was overwhelming, and she wanted desperately to try it out. And most of all, she wanted to show Remy the touch she could never give him before.
Magneto smiled at her with satisfaction, "Suit up, you have a training session first, then we will make a move tonight."
She walked out of the room completely satisfied with herself. She swore her mind had not changed any, but the thought of being able to kill Lang seemed to sound better and better. The more powerful she became, as with any human, the more she wanted revenge.
*****************Training Session******************
"Nice outfit Sheila, are ya in the mood for a hot date later?" Pyro asked lighting up flames in both his hands.
Rogue made a disgusted look, "Let's jus' get this ovah with?"
Sabertooth walked in followed by Colossus. "Alright runts, unlike the X- men," Sabertooth looked over towards Rogue, "we don't do simulations. It's the real thing here. If you get knocked out, you're out."
Rogue glared at the large cat, "Fahne bah me sugah."
They started and Colossus immediately armored up. Pyro began make animals in the air and started to attack Sabertooth with them. Rogue disappeared into the shadows of the warehouse unnoticed.
Colossus rammed Sabertooth in the back and he went slamming through a pile of empty crates. Rogue snuck up behind Colossus and before he had a chance to dodge her, she grabbed his face causing him to pass out.
The new power she felt in her was incredible. The feeling before was nothing compared to this, he was running through her veins. She then armored up as well and in an instant Pyro began to encircle her in flames. But they were no use as the metal rejected them. Rogue ran towards him punched him with her bare hand. No reaction, but an angry Aussie. She could touch. She smiled again but touched to absorb. She felt the same power.
Sabertooth lunged at her from the back and they both went through a wall. She was covered by metal so no damage was done. They faced each other off, "Give it up girlie, you can't win against an animal," he snarled at her.
"No, ah can', but ah can become one if ya give meh a chance," she smiled and they both attacked at the same time. They were matched. He couldn't be hurt because of his strength and her having a metallic body. There were no flames she could control and the only way of winning would be to touch him, and he wasn't allowing that. It wasn't until Magneto ended the session that either of them stopped.
Colossus and Pyro were beginning to come to when Magneto spoke, "Well done Acolytes," Rogue grimaced, not used to the new name. "I suggest you get some rest, tonight we create chaos for the X-Men," he then looked at Rogue, "and you will obtain new powers.
They exited the room in opposite ways. Rogue thought to herself, this would be something to remember.
***************Later that night at the docks*************
"Like the new uniform Sheila, but that coat looks awfully familiar," Pyro said knowing where the coat came from.
"Good, then ya know, if ya put a burn mark on it, yer gonna have a ragin' Cajun on yer hands!"
He then smiled at the smart comment, and then began to laugh insanely.
"Ah lord, ah'd woulda rather be partnered with Sabertooth than an insane firefly," she said anger rising.
This only made him laugh more before he stated, "Let's get this show on the road shall we love?"
Rogue only nodded her head and watched as the fire starter lit the flames and began to torch anything that was made of wood. Rogue used the new powers she got previously to make the flames raise higher in the air and grow.
***************At the Mansion***********
"X-Men, assemble the full team, Magneto has attacked the docks," Professor Xavier's voice chimed in their heads while they were sleeping.
They all got up dressed and ready and headed towards the black bird. None seemed as ready as Gambit did; he knew he would see her again. In less than 15 minutes they were taking off, Scott was flying when he added the remark, "Remember X-Men, Rogue will be there," he then more directly looked towards Remy, "don't let your past feeling for her get in the way." Remy then glared at the uptight mutant and charged a card. Kitty grabbed his forearm before he could do anything else. He looked over to her and he understood she felt the same way, "You right petite, hate ta use one of Remy's good cards on scum like dat," he then uncharged the card and waited for their decent.
They were at the warehouse now and Storm flew immediately to the raging fires and began to rain down on them. Wolverine gave out the commands, "Half-pint and Red, you take the south dock, Cyc and Elf take the east, Gumbo, you're with me."
They all headed into their opposite directions. "Do you see them anywhere Kitty?" Jean asked the brunette.
"No, but they like totally did a number on this place. It's like destroyed."
"I don't know either, but whatever it was it must have been-." she was cut off as she felt a cold hand touch her own face.
Rogue held on for a while until Jean passed out on the ground, and then mumbled to herself, "That was a little too easy." She looked at the red head for only a second before she heard Kitty calling for Jean. She quickly disappeared into the shadows unable to face her friend.
A couple minutes later Kitty found Jean, "Rogue," she breathed out. Scott and Nightcrawler ran into Kitty and an unconscious Jean.
Scott's anger grew when he saw Jean, "We take them out," and then he walked away.
"You see anything Gumbo?"
"Oui, Remy see an insane Aussie trying ta take down Storm who's rainin' on his parade, and a big ol' cat occupyin' de elf an' kitty."
Wolverine growled at the mention of Sabertooth and motioned for Gambit, "Come on, let's go help 'em."
They began to head over when a girl with white bangs made her way to Wolverine's path. "Logan, ya gotta help meh, ah can' do this anymore, an' they won' let meh out!" She looked hysterical and Wolverine turned around to Gambit, "You go help them, I'm gonna get Rogue outta-."
She touched his face absorbing him. He fell to the ground, "Sorry Wolvie," she said with genuine regret in her voice. She looked at Remy, "Alone at last," then smiled.
He smiled also at her antics. The dame was dangerous, but when was Remy ever one to turn away from danger? "So it seems chere, like de new uniform," Remy looked her up and down, "Like it a lot, nice coat too."
She began to walk towards him, stepping over Wolverine, "Ah good friend gave it ta meh."
"Aw chere, Remy more den jus' a friend," he smiled at her and then winked.
"Jus' wait sugah," she heard footsteps from the left of her with her new senses picked up from Wolverine and she turned. Before she could react though, she was blasted off the building and fell through a nearby one.
Gambit was furious and he looked over at Cyclops. "Ya fool! Ya coulda killed her!" He then punched Cyclops in the face knocking him out.
He then stealthily went down to the warehouse and made his way through the smashed brick, but didn't see any sign of Rogue. "Chere? Where are ya?"
He felt a kick underneath his legs and he fell hard against the brick. He muttered some French under his breath in pain. He looked up to see a familiar porcelain looking face looking down on him.
She bent down and straddled him by the waist and leaned her forearms against his chest. She got dangerously close to his face. "If ah hadn't absorbed Wolverine, ah prolly woulda died," she said a small smirk playing on her face.
"Dat wasn't supposed ta happen chere, Remy tried ta save ya but-.."
She cut him off, "Well, if all the girls ya trah ta save end up dead, ah suggest ya'll go inta early retirement."
He missed her so much. Though the circumstances were not in his favor at the time, he could have stayed all night with her. He looked around to find fallen ash from the previous explosion. He looked back at her, "Ya know chere, dis stuff can be deadly if ya eat it."
She looked around and smiled mischievously and said to him, "But a kiss, can be even deadlier if ya mean it," she leaned forward and kissed the Cajun full on the lips, enjoying every second.
He didn't know how she was able to do it, but he didn't care either. He wrapped his hands around her waist, but to his misfortune, she broke the kiss. "See ya round Swamp Rat," she slowly got up and flew out of the building.
He laid there for a couple minutes, absorbing everything that had just happened, then got up with a smile on his face, "Tings jus' got real interestin' fo' Remy."
She spoke to her new team makes telekinetically and they just as easily exited the area as they came in, leaving behind wounded X-Men.
She was standing in the chamber; a nervous expression marked her face. She turned to face the master of magnetism, biting her lower lip, "Ya'll said this ain't gonna hurt, rahght?"
"I never said any such thing Rogue," he then shut the door on a terrified girl.
