Rogue stormed into camp, seeing Remy with his shirt off sitting on a log, smokeing a cigarette.

"Thay'll kill ya swamp rat!" She snapped as Remy choked on the smoke at the directness of the comment, and Logan stormed in behind her growling for her to stop and talk to him.

"What the heck was that all about stripes!!"

"She pissed me off!" Logan stood infront of her, his eyes flaming with angar.

"Watch youre language."

"Screw mah language! Ahm sick a her always makin sly remarks! So ah got mah own back." She said as Logan shook his head.

"If I can't trust you to keep yer cool stripes....then what chance do we have of getting along untill we get out of hear."

"Ah dont care, ah dont do the group piece thing Logan....Ah never have!"

"Right, fine! From now on, you don't leave my sight.... and you and red.....you dont stay alone together."

"Fine with me!" Rogue screamed as she sat down on the log behind her with her arms crossed looking away from Logan. When he moved from infront of her, she turned on the log so as she was now faceing away from the camp, pulling up her knees to her chest and resting her head on them. She felt an emptyness inside after her argument with Logan.

She never liked arguing with him, because he always looked so dissapointed in her, anyone els that looked that way didn't bother her. But she respected him, and he respected her so it felt like she was doing a major injustice to him, though she 'knew' she was in the right for doing what she did.

Roge hid her face as tears threatnd to escape from her eyes, and Kitty sat beside her, placeing her hand on her now covourd back and sat in silence for once, as Kitty realised that Rogue didn't want to talk at that point. Logan looked back over at Rogue, kicking himself, feeling so guilty because he knew that Jean was always taunting her, and she just had that coming. But he knew that he had to stand his ground so as it didn't happen again.

Rogue finally turned into the middle of the camp, where the fire was still burning. Scott looked at her and smiled as he placed a large rock in the middle of the fire and set some tins down with some camping pans on the ground next to him and he sat and waited for the rock to heat up. The twigs and logs werent in a pile anymore, they had used all the spears, so Ororo ast Rogue to go and get some more. Rogue nodden and stood up as Remy jumped up offering to go with her. Rogue didn't say anything but Remy followed anyway as she walked deep into the trees. Rogue reached a clearing and started gathering sticks.

"Remy heard y' whiped Jean dis mornin'..."

"Yeah, what of it swamp rat!"

"Notin, notin. Remy juss tink its cool dat de Rogue put de girl in her place after bein on her pedastol."

"Woulda thought youd av gone for her typ..."

"Non. Remy likes de darker tings in life. Prim petites ain ma styl."

"Realy? Well ah gotta tell ya that ahm suprised swamp rat. You seem like such a--"

Rogue snaped her arm back, dropping all the twigs to the floor. She screames out a painfull "ouch" sound as a huge black spider fell from her sholder, with its legs curled up into its chest.

"Shit! the basterd bit me!"

Rogue said as she touched her holder, trying to see the bit. Remy dropped his wigs and ran over to her seeing the huge spider on the floor. A sudden wash of panic swept over Remy as Rogue looked at him confused.

"Non. no no no no, dis cant be apnin!"

"Whats wrong with..." Rogue stopped as she bagan to feel extremeley week. Her knees colapsed underneath her and she fell to the floor. Remy pressed onto the two raised bumps on her sholder as he explained to Rogue what just happend.

"Rogue, dat was a funnel wed spider.....day are de most dangerous spider in de Austrailian jungle. We need to get you some help chere......"

Rogues eyes turned and rolled back in her head as her eyelids closed. Remy paniced and picked her up, running as fast as he could back to camp where he shouted for Hank.

Hank ran over to them as Remy set Rogue down on the floor.

"De girl been bitten by a funnel web misure, she need a doctor."

Logan looked at Remy confused at what he said, then Hank explained.

"Yes, its an extremeley poisonous spider that will kill her if the poison reaches her hart, which will be in about...45 minuets. Did you put pressire on it Remy?"

"Oui misure."

"Go and fetch the first aid box Kitty..." Said hank as he slapped on a latex glove. and prodded at the bite mark.

Logan kneeled down next to Rogue in dissbeliefe. They were no-where near any hospital, that meant that she was going to die right? Hank looked up at Logan.

"Logan, she dosent have a chance. Im going to do everything I can, but it will onley slow down the poison, it wont stop it." He said quietley so as onley Logan could hear.

Logan looked shocked at the remark as Kitty handed Hank the first aid box. Hank toock out a seringe and injected the contence into the bite mark, and used a diss infectant wipe to clean it, then he covoure the wound with a plaster. Logan looked up, as if a spark had just lit up his mind. He pulled off Rogues glove.

"What are you doing Logan?" Ast Hank, rather confused.

"My mutation is to heal myself, so if she takes my power, she can fight the poison. And Ill onley be out for a few hours."

Hank nodde feelin that this idea may just work. Logan put his hand in Rogues, and a second later he started sqwerming in pain as Rogues skin absorbed Logans life energy, untill it just stopped leavin Logan breathless and confused. He was still touching her skin, and she was still breathing but nothing was happening.

"Whats wrong Logan? Why ain she takein y' power?" Ast Remy as he stood by anxiousley.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rogue started shakeing violentley as Remy held her gloved hand. He ran his hands through her hair looking calm as usual on the outside, but inside he was screming for help. He genuinley was scared for Rogue. He flicked a piece of his hair away from his face as he staired down at Rogues face, her eyes closed tightley with the pain showing in her expression.

Kurt saw that Remy was touching Rogue, and he was furious about it, but he also saw that he was worried about her, so he limped over to him and knelt down beside Rogue. He looked up at Remy.

"So vat do you think?......Truse?" Kurt said as he held out his hand. Remy looked at it and smiled.

"Oui mon ami...truse."

Remy shook Kirts hand and they sat talking over Rogue. Whyl over the camp, Jean was bitching to Scott about Rogue, and how she had it cumming. Kitty sat on her log and listend to everything Jean was saying to Scott, and everything was bad, so bad that it sparked up a fuse inside of Kitty. The last thing that Kitty heard Jean say was "I hope the stupid bitch dies, she bugs me so much." Kitty jumped up and stood right infront of scott and Jean.

"Scott, can you like, go someplace els for a second please."

Scott noticed the sharpness in her voice as she stood with her hands on her hips waiting for him to leave, so he nodded and walked over to Pyro.

"You have, like no idea how much people like Rogue do you Jean!?"

"Oh, what are you talking about Kitty, nobody likes her."

"Well i totaly think that im someone! There isn't one person hear besides you that, like, dosent like Rogue. And you know what, I wish it was you layin down thare, with no chance of makeing it through the night!"

Kitty was screaming at this point, as Jean roled her eyes and twurled her hair.

"What the hell, like happend to you Jean. You used to be so cool, but now youre nothing but a cold, hartless bitch." Kitty brought down her tone and watched Jeans face drop as she realised the truth....She had changed and it wasnt a good thing.

Kurt ported over and wraped his arms around Kitty as he ported her away from the scene. Kitty relaxed her head on Kurt and closed her eyes as he stroked her hair, rocking slightley.

"She vill be fine Kitty dont vory about her."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Two days passed at the camp, and Rogue still lay in a coma like state. Hope still lingerd seen as she was still with them two days after the 45 minuet baryer. Kitty and Kurt spent every minuet of thair time together, pulling pranks on Scott and Pyro who kept trying to singe Kurts fur all the time.

Storm spent allot of her time above the trees trying to see a way out and Hank taught the group anything and everything that came to his mind to keep the bordom from killing them all off.

Logan did the solitary thing that he always did at the instituit, why should it be any different in the jungle, and Remy didn't leave Rogues side, not even to sleep.

Remy was flipping through his cards, feeling the same as usual with a small pinch of fear. He had begun to zone out when he noticed Rogues eyes open. He snapped back to reality, dropping his cards, and leaned over Rogue who sat up aching all over.

"Oh mah god, mah backs killin me......what happend?" Rogue said after clearing her throught.

Remy took ahold of her ungloved hand not noticeing that she wasnt wearing a glove at all.

"Y' scared de life out of all of us chere." "Wha? what did ah do?" She said as she pulled her hand away and frownd confused.

Logan curiousley looked out of his tent seeing Rogue sitting up and ran over to her scooping her up in his arms.

"Alright.....who are you people and what have you done with mah friends." She said still ablivios to the fact that she had been inches away from death for the last 2and a half days.

Logan released the suffocated Rogue and frowned at her groling:

"Don't you ever do that again stripes!"

"What did ah do?" "Member de spider bite mon petite?.......Well it layed y' out for almost tree days. De poison almost killed ya."

Remy looked at Logan, and ran his bear finger along Rogues jawline and looked back at Logan smileing. Logan Smiled at Rogue as she realised what he just did. She stood up and immediateley fell back down after realiseing she was so week. "Relax fer a whyl stripes, then well tel you all about it." Logan said as he ruffled her hair and walked away. The next greeting came from Kurt and Kitty who dragged Remy unwillingley into a group hug soon joined by Scott and then Pyro just for the hell of it. The instructors looked on at the chokeing Remy and Rogue, as Jean stood by, half mad that she wasnt getting any attention and half feeling left out.
