*** Flashback***
*********** Start*****************
Rogue woke up from the best sleep she'd had in more than a year. She knew that it was Remy that held her and that Remy was the reason that she had slept well. Still she knew she had to get up, Carol's memories floated through her head with deadly precision. Trask was going to attack the institute in a few short hours, and she knew that they would be caught unaware if she didn't warn them. Rogue tried to roll over but Remy was a solid weight at her side, she reached out one hand and shook him awake.
"Remy, wake up sugar." Rogue spoke softly in his ear. He rolled over taking Rogue with him, and pinning her beneath himself. Rogue was starting to get angry when she saw his eyes open and a smile cross his lips.
"Remy sorry for everything he did, I'm sorry rogue. I love you, I didn't mean it, please forgive me?" His voice was strained with hurt. Rogue felt the depth of his sorrow and his love flowing through her veins.
"Remy I love you to, but right now we need to get up and leave. Trask and his goons are going to attack the Institute and I have to warn them and help them fight." As soon as the words were out of her mouth Remy stiffened and then stood, his face a picture of grim hate for Trask. Rogue knew she had some things to tell him, but for now saving the institute was more important. Rogue rose gracefully from the bed and walked out the door, she was about to get into her car when she realized that they would never make it in time if they drove. Thoughts of Carol floated through her brain, she accessed the powers and grabbed Remy around the waist.
"Hold on sugar, we're flying first class and quickly to the institute." Remy wrapped his arms tightly around her as they levitated and took off into the sky.
A few minuets past as Rogue contemplated what she would have to do when they reached the Institute. It was likely that Trask knew that she was going to try and stop him so he would bring sentinels and the rest of the Special Mutant team. Most of them wouldn't attack her but she knew that Danvers would. Remy was silent also, having sensed the tension that hung around Rogue. The Institute was just a little further when she smelt the smoke. Rogue felt something inside of her scream and she pushed her body to move even faster. The first thing she saw when she and Remy reached the Institute was a battlefield, with her friends on it. Kitty was barely standing, Kurt was trying to take out a Sentinel, Logan was slashing through the metal of one sentinel, and the others did battle with three flying mutants.
*I know your life is empty
And you hate to face this world alone
So you're searching for an angel
Someone who can make you whole
I cannot save you; I can't even save myself
So just save yourself*
Rogue flew close to the ground and set Remy down before taking off after the Sentinel that Kurt was fighting. She dove right through the creatures chest and fried its circuitry as she did so. Kurt smiled at her, but Rogue's attention was on the three flying mutants. She advanced on them.
*I know that you've been damaged
Your soul has suffered such abuse
But I am not your savior
I am just as fucked as you (I am just as fucked as you)*
"I don't want to hurt you guys. Please leave now. You know that I will do anything to protect them, so please don't make me hurt you." Rogue was begging, and she knew it, but she didn't want to hurt them, at least not the other two- Danvers she wouldn't mind hurting. Rogue was surprised that Trask had only brought these three, but she didn't let that show on her face. One of the women, who was called Candace a.k.a: Wind, glanced at the other, who was called Katharine a.k.a: Murphy, and they nodded at each other.
"You know we won't hurt you Rogue, But I think its time we had a little fun, yeah Murphy?" Candace asked, humor in her voice. Murphy nodded and looked at Rogue.
"Aye, what da' (do) yah say to a litl' (little) party, a litl'(little) Fun?" Katharine asked Rogue as she smiled and raised her eyebrows. Rogue smiled and nodded. Katharine turned her face into a sick smirk and attacked the nearest sentinel Candace did the same.
*I can not save you; I can't even save myself
So just save yourself
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me*
Danvers had fled the scene briefly but now she returned with Trask in her wake. Rogue landed on the ground and the X-men silently assembled behind her. They were ready to fight these to no matter the cost. Trask was the first one to speak.
"Rogue I don't want to have to hurt you, but I will. You are now our enemy and you know what we do to enemies." Trask's voice was icy and strong, " sadly your friends will have to die also, and Candace and Katharine. Well, for converting them to your side, you will watch them die." Trask looked over at were the two girls had previously been doing battle with the sentinels. He pulled out a small remote looking device from his pocket, and pressed two small buttons. A cloud of goo shot from the last standing Sentinel. It surrounded them and slowly sucked the life from them as they screamed in pain.
"Now you know why I needed you, to complete my ultimate weapon. The Rogue. It will suck the life from any mutant that gets trapped in it, and make it possible for the Sentinel to use the powers of the dead mutants."
Rogue tensed. ' I won't let my pain become the pain of others, this is my curse and no one else's, I have to stop him.'
*My life has been a nightmare
My soul is fractured to the bone
If I must be lonely
I think I'd rather be alone...
(I think I'd rather be alone)*
Rogue slammed her body forward at Trask, but was stopped when one powerful fist slammed into her jaw. It seemed to be in slow motion as her head jerked to one side followed by the rest of her body. She watched Kurt run toward her and she reached out of him so that she wouldn't fall. As her hands came close to his face she realized something. She wasn't wearing any gloves.
' Noooooo' Rogue screamed in her mind as her hand hit his skin.
*You cannot save me
You can't even save yourself
I cannot save you; I can't even save myself
Save yourself
So just save yourself*
Something snapped inside of rogue, she didn't want to hurt Kurt, or anyone else for that matter. Nothing happened. She didn't feel Kurt's life force flow up her arms and take over her mind, in fact she felt something else. A rising tide of powers and people in her mind, all screaming for Trasks's blood.
*You cannot save me
You can't even save yourself
I cannot save you; I can't even save myself
Save yourself
So just save yourself*
Rogue turned to face Trask just as the wave of voice smashed into her being.
"No, I won't hurt them," Rogue spoke but it wasn't just her who spoke. Everyone she had ever absorbed coursed through her veins. They were angry and they wanted revenge. Rogue's voice was buried in the mess. The other X- men took a step back, the voice that originated from their friend's throat was strange and frightening.
"But..." Now the voice faded and rogue spoke again, "I will hurt you." Rogue's voice was as cold as the arctic.
Her head snapped up to were trask stood and her eyes a strange and deadly green.
