This chapter is set to Dierks Bentley's song My love will Follow You!
This is a country song that I love! This chapter is dedicated to all the
soldiers in Iraq, I know that they probably won't read this but: be strong
and thank you! It has nothing to do with the chapter but I needed to say
that so...yeah.
I just realized that I have yet to right a disclaimer so: I don't own the songs/bands or characters mentioned and/or used in this story. Though I don't have all rights to the storyline.

"Conversation"
*** Flashback***
******** Start*********
Rogue sat in the car staring at the open highway, her body moved reflexively through the motions of driving. Why had Remy tried to give her that money? If he didn't love her then why did he care what she did? Rouge shook the thoughts from her head and began glancing around for a hotel. It had been about three days since the encounter with Remy, she had gotten in her car, visibly shaken for a few seconds before she numbed again. She hadn't stopped driving accept to get gas and a little food. Exhaustion was beginning to creep in on her, so she decided that she was going to stop. An hour past before she saw the neon sign of a small roadside hotel. Rogue felt a sigh rise in her chest but she squashed it, she promised herself that she would feel nothing, not even relief.
*Take your suitcase and take your heart
Take a train to the boulevard
My love will follow you, my love will follow you
You can try to lose yourself downtown
You can burn all your bridges down
My love will follow you, yeah my love will follow you*
The clerk at the hotel didn't even glance at her as she took the key to her room, and handed him a small wad of cash. She took her bag from the floor and walked to her room. Her eyes glanced around the filthy motel. She shook of the shivers of danger that were racing down her spine, and opened the door to her room. The hotel room was dinghy, a visible layer of filth lie everywhere. She glanced around; a small bathroom was in the corner, the queen size bed took up most of the room, and a small radio was bolted to what looked like something that in a previous life had been the base of a TV. She walked over to the bed, pulled open the drawer to the bedside table. Silently she ran her fingers over the cover of the worn bible that lay there. She reached down and picked it up. From the pages slipped a small faded picture. The picture was of a family. The father had his arms around his young bride, and a small child sat at there feet. The picture was pressed to perfection by time in the bible. Rogue felt something pull at her heart. She tucked the picture in the back pocket of her jeans, and pulled her trench coat on over her sweater. She pulled her hood up to cover her hair, and lay down on the bed. She pulled her legs up to her chest and slept.
*My love will follow you
Down every highway of your soul
You can leave me far behind
But my love will be your shadow
Everywhere you go*
At about four in the morning a hard pounding on her door woke her up. A voice accompanied the noise.
"Wake up. Get outside of this room now, or I will be forced to be violent."
She stood up from the bed and walked toward the door, her hands slowly removing her gloves as she went.
*So close the door, turn in the key
Leave me here like a memory
My love will follow you, my love will follow you
Even on a road that takes you down where
Cords of human kindness come unwound
My love will follow you, yeah my love will follow you*
She placed her glove free hands, and her gloves in her pockets then finished the short trek to the door. She reached out and grabbed the door handle, opening the door. Outside stood a tall man in military uniform with a gun pointed directly at her.
"Walk out to the parking lot, this is a random search for mutants." The man's voice was much like Rogue's own voice. Something snapped inside of her. Her reached out to touch the man's face.
*My love will follow you
Down every highway of your soul
You can leave me far behind
But my love will be your shadow
Everywhere you go*
Sparks shot up Rogue's arm and for a few seconds she felt alive. She felt the flames of life lick at her body. The man slumped to the floor, and Rogue smirked. Rogue picked up his gun, walked back in the room, grabbed her bag, and walked out. Her car was in a dark corner of the parking lot, so she started it and drove away with out anyone noticing or so she thought.
A man observed these happenings with a sick smile twisting his lips. He watched as his soldier walked to the door, as the girl opened it, and as she raised a hand. At first he thought the girl was going to slap his soldier but instead she touched him and the man had fallen to the floor. The girl had taken him out with a single touch. She would be a good addition to his 'team'. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone.
"Get Danvers...Listen I have a new job for you. A mutant just took out one of my men with a single touch, and took off. I want her, bring her to me alive...out" The man turned off the cell phone and walked away.
* WITH ROGUE*
Rogue was basking in the afterglow of zapping that guy. She could feel him struggling in her head but she didn't care, for a few seconds she felt alive.
*if you should go so far, that you cannot get back
Girl, you may not remember, but my heart will not lose track*
* WITH REMY*
Remy had observed the happenings of the night from the roof of the motel. He watched as Rogue had dropped that guy and watched as she drove away. That wasn't what worried Remy though in fact: it wasn't the soldiers that worried Remy, or the random search for mutants, nor the shadowy retreating figure that he only glanced at., what worried him was the smirk that had crossed Rogues lips. He jumped down from the roof into a tree and then on to the ground. Hopped in his care and drove off in pursuit of Rogue, following her in the same manor as he has for the past three days.
*So go ahead and take that train
In my heart you'll still remain
My love will follow you, my love will follow you
My love will follow you
Oh, follow you
My love will follow you*
Remy's eyes clouded slightly with tears as thoughts floated in his mind.
' What have I done.....?'
