Recap: Rogue is kicking it at the pier, just watching the peaceful rays of the moon. Then she is interrupted by some creepy old man. He begs for money and when she gives it to him, he claims that he knows her. Now Rogue is spending her time trying to figure out what was going on.

Heaven's A Lie

Chapter 2: Who is he?

It was around five o'clock in the morning when Rogue's alarm went off, nearly knocking her off the bed. Grumbling to herself, Rogue slid from the warmth of the bed. She could feel Remy's body stirring beside her as she moved her body heat away from him.

She watched as his slowly opened his demonic eyes. They flared slightly when he noticed that she was already up. Licking his lips sexily, he pulled himself up from the bed and walked over to her. Leaning down, he wrapped his arms around her waist and began to rock her body gently.

" Morn, Chere."

" Morning, Remy."

They remained in the loving embrace until a huge psionic blast connected into their heads.

Everyone please report to the danger room now!

Both Remy and Rogue groaned aloud and turned to get dressed in their uniforms. Of Course Remy finished dressing first and was waiting outside for Rogue to finish.

All the while Rogue was getting dressed, she attempted to figure out where she had seen that man before. Several years ago, she had joined the brotherhood. Mystique had invited her after she accidently absorbed Cody. She was afraid and had nowhere else to turn to. That was before she heard of the Xavier Institute, before she knew of mutants that wished peace for all.

Small spurts of memories flashed before her eyes back when she was with Mystique. Back when she never knew how the woman betrayed her, how she hadn't been the one to corrupt her mind.

Tears formed up in her eyelids. It still pained her to know that the only person that cared enough to take her in was the same person to cause her so much agony.

Turning, Rogue walked out to join her fiancee. Remy noticed the small redness around her eyes, and he frowned with concern.

" What be de matter, mon amour?"

Rogue wiped away the tears from her eyes and smiled.

" Just thinking…Rems…"

Remy placed an arm around her shoulders and pulled her towards him. Taking his hand and brushing the small strands of hair from her face, he leaned down and placed a soft but loving kiss on her forehead.

" Okay Chere, But y' know y' can tell Remy anyt'in right?"

Rogue smiled and sunk even deeper into the warm embrace.

" Oui remy, Ah know.."

Remy smirked and squeezed her tightly.

" Y' jus' remember dat den, okay Roguey?!"

Rogue glanced up to meet his face, eyes glistening passionately.

" Of course, Remy."

Stepping out of the embrace, they both walked down to the lower levels to reach the danger room. As they walked in, everyone's eyes fell upon them. Scott was the first to speak.

" Glad to see that you've come to join us."

Rogue and Remy shared equally innocent looks. Ones that were practiced over time, as it seemed they were the only ones who were ever scolded.

" Why ah'm honored, Cyke.."

Pretending to wipe away a fake tear, Rogue waved around dramatically at the rest of the xmen in the room. The danger room began to fill with snickers and laughter as they watched Scott's face turn from pink to beet red.

Logan stepped in before Scott said another word towards Rogue.

" Yeah well Stripes, if you're late again.. You'll find yourself with 3 weeks of danger room sessions with me."

Rogue frowned at him.

" What would make that any different from now.." she muttered under her breath.

Logan cocked an eyebrow and glared at her.

" What did you say, Stripes?"

Rogue turned her attention from Logan and looked at the floor.

" Nuthin.."

Logan smirked, now satisfied he turned to the rest of the Xmen.

" Everyone shall be paired into groups of two. "

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

" That I'll be choosing."

Instantly, the room turned silent again.

" Now, I want to mingle you with different partners than you're usually with."

Booing began to ring through the room. Logan held up his hands defensively.

" Hey don't blame me, it was Chuck's idea before he left to go to the conference in Maine."

Remy groaned aloud. This would mean that he wouldn't be partnered with Rogue. He would probably have to deal with the Summers man. Shuddering internally, he returned his attention back to Logan, who was assigning partners.

" Iceboy and Frosty…"

Emma Frost frowned at the nickname Logan gave her. Bobby merely shook his head and took his place next to her.

" The Australian and Purple.."

Psylocke scowled at Logan.

" Can't you call me by my name?"

Logan shrugged and continued to spout off names.

" Gumbo and Cyclops…"

" merde…"

Scott glared at Remy's inappropriate usage of language. Remy merely flicked him off and turned his attention over to Rogue.

" Stripes and Red.."

Rogue threw her hands into the air exasperatedly.

" Well there goes mah day…"

Jean turned and looked at Rogue. Her eyes narrowed, and mouth in a deep snarl.

" Not like I wanted to be with you anyways."

Rogue matched her glare for glare.

" Good."

Jean and Rogue stared at each other just like that until Logan coughed to gain their attention.

" Let us now begin the simulation."

Immediately, the room shuddered until it revealed a battle field. On the other side was a small red orb. Logan's voice sounded off through the battle field.

" Your goal is to retrieve the red orb."

There were some sounds of passive cheers. Everyone thought that they would able to clear the simulation in no time.

" But, the catch is, you must clear it with your partner."

Some groaning erupted in the room, while there was some snickering. Remy grinned at himself as his thoughts turned elsewhere.

' Logan never said he had t' bring de Scotty back, conscious.'

Scott looked over at the currently grinning Remy and frowned. He had no idea what had gotten the Cajun in such a good mood, and nor did he care.

" Now we shall begin."

Remy smirked at his partner.

" Beam us up Scotty."

Scott sneered at Remy and turned away, determined to keep his mind on the simulation.

Almost instantly, the room erupted with machinery and weapons shooting off at the once prone Xmen. Everyone split up into their groups and began to devise plans of getting around the obstacles in order to reach the orb.

Remy stood beside the ever so stuck up Scott, who seemed to think that the direct approach was the greatest. Obviously he was wrong because they were spending the majority of the time trying to take out the machines that were currently shooting at them.

Rogue ducked behind a huge boulder as a gigantic beam whizzed by her. Jean was proving no help to her, because she was too busy trying to protect her own damn self. ' Stupid Red Head Bitch' , rogue began to think to herself as she leapt up into the air attempting to take out one of the sentinels. Jean spent her entire time trying to make herself look good when in fact, she wasn't even capable of making a complete thought without passing out.

As Rogue continued to leap away from the lasers that were now pinpointed on her, she managed to catch a glimpse of the red orb. It was close to her, if only her dumb ass partner would hurry up and follow her.

Turning her head, she saw Jean getting struck down by a laser and slamming into the concrete. Rolling her eyes, Rogue stealthily ran over to Jean and dragged her behind some rubble. The woman was out cold, Rogue attempted to gently slap her face in order to wake her up but it was no use.

Suddenly, Jean's body jerked up and her bare arm struck the side of Rogue's face. Rogue instantly felt the pull of her powers as they involuntarily sucked away at Jean's life force. Immediately, Rogue tapped into her mind and ceased the pull of her powers before Jean ended up in any deeper of a coma. She hated the woman but she didn't need to put her in a coma. Besides, who wanted any of her perfectionist thoughts in her head anyway.

" Shit…"

Flashes of memories and feelings drastically ran through her mind, making Rogue lean back . Slowly, Rogue hauled herself from the ground, she was becoming to dizzy on the ground. The world spun around her viciously as she stood. Suddenly a huge ripping pain erupted into her back causing for her to scream out loud.

A small ripple of blood flowed down her arm and her vision began to worsen. Her stomach began to churn violently as the room spun around her. The pain became worse causing for Rogue to stumble backwards. As she fell, Rogue tried to brace herself for the pain that was to come, but it never did. Looking up Rogue saw two glowing eyes staring down at her. Before her vision went black, she remembered them calling out to her.

" Chere….Chere….Rogue….."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rogue woke up again, only to find herself in an all white room. As she attempted to sit up, a slight pain ripped through her side. Moaning aloud, Rogue turned to see that her arm was in a cast.

" Ah, mon ange awakens."

Rogue smiled and laughed. Yet a the pain in her ribs made her flinch.

" Hey, Rems…" she said lightly.

She felt his arms wrap around her gently. His eyes stared down at her with blatant concern.

" Remy was worried 'bout y' Chere."

Rogue leaned into him and allowed for him to hold her.

" Sorry about that Rems.."

Remy frowned slightly at Rogue.

" Remy doesn't forgive y'"

Rogue stared at Remy for a minute, then she caught the bemused glint in his eyes.

" Well when will ya?"

" When y' promise Remy dat y' never scare Remy like dat again.."

Rogue leaned up and kissed the side of his face.

" Ah promise, Remy."

Remy smiled, obviously pleased and placed his head on her shoulder. Sitting in the relative silence, was more comforting than awkward.

Suddenly, Rogue began to feel dizzy as a flash of memory appeared in front of her eyes. She was in some kind of dark alley. Walking alone, she felt scared.

A rustling noise came from behind her, making her want to walk faster. The faster she tried, the slower her body moved. Then she felt two arms grip onto her wrists and jerk her around. Looking up, she saw two brown eyes staring coldly down at her. Recoiling away, she attempted to run but she couldn't break free from his grasp. Finally lifting her leg, she kneed the man into the groin.

Though it only phased him for a minute, it did cause for something strange to happen. She watched in horror as the man slowly began to morph. His body suddenly became hunched over, his hair long and black. Slowly turning his gaze up to her and seeing the terror on her face, he opened his mouth into a wide mouthed sneer. To her dismay, his teeth were yellow and encrusted with decay.

Slowly his decrepit hands reached out to her, but she couldn't move, she felt his arms touch hers, her skin began to feel like it was crawling. Opening her mouth she let out a blood curdling scream…

Woah…another chapter done. Am I keeping you in suspense or what? I AM SOOO EVIL!! MUWAHAHA!!
