Beep…beep…beep
Rogue's eyes slowly fluttered open only to reveal blurred images. She sniffed the air and pulled a face: she was in the Med. Bay. 'Ah hate this place.' She thought. Her vision began to clear while the Med. Bay's door slid open. She heard the sound of padding hitting the floor, obviously it was Mr. McCoy. Rogue groaned and shifted her body weight to her right side. Her head was killing her. She brought a hand up to her forehead and gingerly began to rub her temples.
"Well, Rogue, your physical stats are perfectly normal, if not a little above normal. You obviously passed out from exerting yourself to much, but that is to be expected. Other than that, you are fine. Physically, that is. Rogue, do you want to tell me anything?" Beast asked.
"Ah…no, Mr. McCoy, Ah don't…" Rogue said softly. What she really wanted was some Tylenol. "Althoug' Ah wouldn't mahnd some Tylenol…' Mr. McCoy chuckled as he handed Rogue two capsules and a cup of water. "Oh, speedy service. Thank ya' Mr. McCoy.:
"You are very welcome, Rogue. Now, you know if you ever need to talk about…anything…I'm here for you. You realize this?" Beast asked.
"Yeah…Ah do. Really Mr. McCoy, there's nothin' t' say." Rogue replied, irritation beginning to creep into her voice. Mr. McCoy nodded and turned to leave.
"Rogue –" he said as the professor telepathically contacted them.
'Hank, if Rogue is awake I would certainly appreciate her presence in my office now.' He said. Beast nodded and looked at Rogue pointedly who sighed. She got out of the bed she was laying in and touched her feet to the floor. 'Oh gahd, wah can't tha floors be heated?' She silently asked herself. Rogue shielded her eyes from the light and began to walk down the corridor leading to the elevator to take her upstairs. She paused in front of the metallic door and began to wonder what the Prof. wanted. The door opened and she stepped in. 'Mahbe Ah'm in trouble…mahbe they are goin' t' send meh off…" one part of her thought. The door closed and Rogue leaned against the wall. 'Don't be silly; tha X-Men wouldn't abandon meh…'

"Charles, are you sure we are doing the right thing?" Ororo asked worriedly as she sat beside him at his desk. Xavier looked thoughtful for a moment, and then nodded. Logan was leaning on the wall with a scowl on his face.
"You're making a mistake, Chuck." He said gruffly. Xavier looked at him with a frown.
"Am I, Logan? Rogue's powers have become increasingly hard to control…her nightmares are returning, past power absorptions are returning, and she is taking on the personality traits as well. It isn't safe for her here anymore. She needs to be in a place where she can learn to control her powers on a more personal basis." Xavier replied.
"The safest place for her is here! How can you live with yourself, sending her away from her family? Sending her away from her support system? That isn't right Chuck! She needs to be here. You are the only one who can help her." Logan replied, fire flashing in his eyes. Xavier's frown increased at those words.
"What Logan? Do you think this is easy for me? Easy admitting that I can no longer help her? This is beyond even me right now. Moira will be able to help her in ways I cannot." Xavier replied. Ororo raised an eye brow.
"How is that, Charles?" She asked.
"Moira is a genius in more ways then one…she has what I lack. Rogue needs someone who can help her on a more scientific level, on a more emotional level…She needs a female to show her it is ok to be who she is. Ororo, while I understand you could do this, there are to many children here, too many things to do to just focus on one individual person like we would have to with Rogue. It is only logical to send her somewhere where she can get the necessary treatment. And with the added help of Warren, Betsy and Sean she will be in good hands. Lorna and It is best for her to go" Xavier said with despair. The sadness and grief in his voice was unmistakable. There were only three people he failed before this: His son, Magneto and The Scarlet Witch. And now Rogue. Xavier felt helpless once again in his life, and it was a feeling he did not like to possess. Ororo nodded and waited patiently for Rogue to arrive. Logan, on the other hand, started to pace around the room.
"I still don't think it is a good idea. Even though Betsy is more then capable of keeping Rogue on her toes I still don't see how this would benefit anyone. And I don't want her to be alone. " Logan said. Xavier rested his chin on his fingers and gazed at Logan.
"She won't be alone. Remy will be accompanying her." Xavier said. He felt some self satisfaction as Logan about faced and stared at his long time friend in shock. Ororo had a similar reaction.
"Charles! You can't be serious!" Ororo gasped.
"I am very serious. As you know a part of Remy's brain was taken out by Nathaniel Essex back when his mutation first came to the light. He will be accompanying Rogue to be healed by Moira." Xavier said simply. Ororo's gaze never left Xavier and Logan was still staring at him like he had gone crazy. Logan couldn't believe the words coming out of this man's mouth.
"But Chuck, Gambit? And Rogue? Rogue hates him. She'll kill him." Logan spluttered.
"I doubt it, Logan. Once she arrives I am sure she will act very responsibly"
"Are we talkin' about the same person, Chuck?"
Knock, Knock
"Come in, Remy." Xavier said. Remy LeBeau waltzed into the room with a self satisfied smirk on his face.
"So, mon ami, when dis trip go'n t' take place?" Remy asked.
"Sit down Remy; we will discuss it when Rogue arrives." Xavier replied. Remy's eyes lighted up at the mention of Rogue, and his smirk quickly grew into a grin.

Meanwhile, Rogue arrived outside of Xavier's office. That wasn't that hard part. The hard part was knocking on the door and sealing her fate.
'Ok, get a grip Rogue! Jus' knock on tha door. Tha's all. Jus' knock. Ok, mahbe not. Mahbe Ah should jus' run…yeah…tha seems lahk a good idea…' Rogue thought. Truthfully, she was scared. Scared of what might happen once she entered that office. She didn't want to know what would happen to her. She didn't want the possibility of her leaving to be true. For while she was walking in the hallway she had met up with Jamie, and he hugged her and whispered a tearful goodbye. She had wondered why the school seemed so deserted, and the Jamie run in scared her even more.
'Rogue, please don't keep us waiting.' Xavier said via telepathy. Rogue shivered and wrapped her arms around herself.
'Ah hate it when he dose tha.' She thought.
Rogue placed her hand on the door handle, and with a sigh, opened it. She pushed the door open and walked inside to see Logan, Prof. X, Ororo and Remy sitting around the big mahogany desk. Rogue gazed at everyone and looked slightly confused.
"Wha's goin' on?" She asked. Ororo gave her a sympathetic smile and gestured for her to sit down. Rogue closed the door and sat in the chair next to Remy and looked at the professor.
"Remy like t' know what's goin' on t', chere." Remy said. The professor cleared his throat and addressed the two teens
"Recent events have pushed me to make a decision that I…WE…think will benefit all. Rogue, Remy, you two are very special cases. Remy, as you know, Dr. Essex removed some gray matter from your brain, enabling you to control your powers at a safer lever. At your request you have asked to have the matter, which you currently hold, to be replaced. Moira MacTaggert will perform the necessary surgery and help you to control your growing powers. Rogue, as you know, your powers have recently gone out of control. I think it would be best if you had an instructor who knows of your situation and who could help you overcome the ongoing hurtles. Therefore, you both will be brought to Muir Island where Moira MacTaggert will help you individually to control your powers. I think it is for the best that you have that kind of one on one training, Moira will have a few of her friends, mutants, there to help train you. While Moira is not a mutant her self she is very adept in mutant handlings and she is well aware of both of your situations. Moira is a good friend of mine so you do not need to worry about foul play. You will leave tomorrow. Any questions?" Xavier concluded. Rogue couldn't believe it. She sat there, shell shocked, not knowing what to think. Remy, on the other hand, knew exactly what to ask.
"So, ya mean Rogue an' I will be trav'lin toge'ter?" Remy asked.
"Yes, Remy, that is correct." The Professor answered.
"So, dis Moira, da femme will make Remy whole aga'n?"
"Yes, Remy."
"So, Rogue will b' learn'n t' control her powers two?"
"Yes Remy."
"So-"
"Remy, please shut up…"
"Go'cha." At this point Rogue shot out of the chair and stalked from the room. Logan could smell the feeling of betrayal and pain radiating off of her. Remy got up and went to follow her only to be stopped by the professor.
"No, Remy. She needs time. It would be best to leave her be." He said with a pained voice.

Rogue entered her room and slammed the door shut. She couldn't believe it. He was getting rid of her! Just because he couldn't handle her evolving powers. She was livid. Rogue thumped on to her bed and hid her head under her pillow. She could feel the hot wetness of the tears as they slid down her face. She didn't care; she wasn't wanted anymore. Typical, once things got to be too much the man who said he would save her was just trying to get rid of her. She wondered why she hadn't been sent to the Moira woman earlier, if it was true she was more able to deal with Rogue then Xavier why did he keep her there? Just to see her suffer? Why didn't he send her to Moira to be helped? All these questions were racing through Rogue's mind when one sole thought entered the fray: She would have to spend all the time there with Remy LeBeau, the vain of her existence. And all she could say was one thing.
"Ah crap…"
