Italics like this are the flash backs
"This is Pietro speaking quickly."
These are Rogue remembering what people have said....
Self Posssessed Rietro Style: Part Five
Rogue was hit with a blast of red light, and thrown through a wall into a ware house, almost to the back of the warehouse.
She was back in her own form again, much to her pleasure. She stood to her feet, and looked around. The ware house was filled with shelves and crates. She quietly walked into an ailes, and leaned on the shelf. Her head resting on her arm, as she attempted to clear her panicky mind.
"Rogue? You in there?" A voice asked, she knew that voice it was Logan…
"Logan?!" She shouted out. "He-help meh!" She said shakily, she gulped for breath before continuing, "Ah-ah can't....thahnk(Think)!" Rogue cried out to him.
"I know Rogue, listen to my voice, darlin'. You need to calm down. I got Cyke and Quicksilver here with me, we're your friends, remember?" Logan shouted out to her, as he, Scott and Pietro walked farther into the ware house.
"Friends..." Rogue repeated the word quietly to her self.
Excuse me, how long do these normally last?
I'm a transfer student, from England, my name's Risty Wilde.
If only we knew someone whose parents were gone for the weekend!
Rogue! Please! I know you know, you are my daughter. I adopted you when you were four years old!
Rogue saw flashes with each saying. Anger began to burn in her eyes. "I have no friends..." She said quietly to herself, as she walked away from the shelf. She was hit by more flash backs.
Scott lay sprawled over an knocked down motorcycle. Rogue took off her glove and reached down to touch his forehead.
-
Scott lay unconscious, Rogue sat with his head on her lap. She looked up and saw a wolf coming closer to them. "Mystique." She said, taking off a glove, and standing, laying Scott down on the ground. She reached down and touched his forehead.
Rogue's bones began to crunch, twist and turn, while her skin molded to yet another new form.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Scott walked down one of the 'halls' of the warehouse, looking for Rogue. She'd stopped talking after Logan had said that they were friends. Pietro was no where to be seen, probably ran away. God knew the boy was a complete coward.
Scott saw a form a little ways off ahead of him and started to go towards it. "Logan?" He asked as he slowly walked towards whoever it was. There was no answer, and who ever it was, didn't make any sign of hearing him. "Pietro?!" He shouted a little louder.
The person turned to look at him. Scott stood in shock at who he saw.
Pietro came running up from behind Scott, having heard his name. And Logan followed behind him.
Pietro looked at the person standing a little ways ahead of them...it was Scott...or Rogue in Scott's body. It wasn't something you saw everyday, and it certainly wasn't something that Pietro wanted to see everyday. In fact, he was unnerved greatly by it at the moment.
Rogue/Scott reached up and turned the 'visor' handle thing on her left ear, and blasted Scott back all the way til he came out of the same hole in a wall that he had blasted her through.
Pietro looked at her. Rogue's body went from Scott to Lance. She put her hands out and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. The ground shook underneath them, and crates came down from the shelves.
Pietro ran and grabbed, Rogue/Lance and tackled her to the ground with a thud, to keep her from being smashed by a crate. Rogue blinked at him, she transformed back into her own body, and looked up at him nervously. "P-Pietro?" She stuttered, her voice filled with fear.
"Come on." He stood and pulled her up. Rogue grabbed hold of his shirt, and buried her face into his chest. "Rogue, let me help." Pietro said, he rubbed her back, trying to calm her down.
"There're so many people in mah head....Ah-" Rogue was cut off when yet another pysche took over. Rogue pushed Pietro away from her. Her eyes glowed white, and began to spark. Her breath became ragged. After a minute, the wind picked up, and Rogue form began to change again.
Pietro watched as she took the form of Storm. Her hair getting long, and turning white. Pietro reached to try and grab her, but the wind slashed at him like a dagger, cutting into his skin.
Rogue said something in a language that he couldn't understand, and she began to float up into the air.
Lighting came down, braking through the roof and hitting the ground near where Pietro stood. He was barely able to dodge the lighting. The wind became stronger, and him and Logan were thrown out of the building through a wall.
Pietro pulled himself off the ground in time to see Rogue, back in her normal form, flying through the air with great skill almost as though she'd been flying her whole life.
Rogue's eyes glowed red. Wind whipped around her, making it hard to see her. Electricity sparked around her hands, and she was floating unsteadily in the air.
"ROGUE!!" Pietro shouted, trying to get her attention. Unfortunately though, it didn't work, her eyes shot out a beam of red light, that blasted into the ground below and anything that was in it's path.
Pietro dashed towards the X-men, maybe if he was lucky, he could get her attention. Nightcrawler and Shadowcat disappeared in a puff of smoke. They reappeared near Rogue.
Both wrapped their arms around Rogue, and tried to get her to calm down. Rogue teleported and then reappeared in the same spot. Kurt and Kitty appeared a few feet above the ground, and tumbled into the pavement.
Pietro frowned. He had to stop this now! Pietro's eyes looked around frantically, looking for anyway to get up to Rogue, or at least with in her hearing distance. Maybe he could talk to her, and keep her attention long enough for someone to help her.
His eyes landed on a building that he could easily scale, with the right head start. Pietro backed up a few miles, before running at the building, he ran straight up the side of the building and onto the roof. He paused to catch his breath and then looked over at Rogue, who wasn't far from him. "ROGUE!!" -Please let her hear me!-
Rogue turned to look at him. Her eyes were filled to the brim with tears, her entire body trembled and she looked scared out of her wits. "Pietro?" The words escaped her mouth, just before an unseen force pulled her downwards.
Rogue screamed in anger, and easily pulled away, before turning to look down at Jean, and Scott.
Jean held her hands next to her temples, as she tried to bring Rogue out of the sky.
As Rogue's eyes focused on Jean, she put her hands up to her own temples and closed her eyes.
Jean's mind filled with so many different thoughts, screams of pain, and memories that she couldn't think. Jean was lifted into the air and thrown aside like a rag doll.
Pietro frowned, they weren't getting anywhere, the X-men apparently had no clue what they were doing, and were only making everything worse. "ROGUE! PLEASE STOP THIS NOW!" Pietro begged her.
Rogue's eyes once again glanced at him, but before she could reply, more psyches attacked her mind all at once. Rogue grabbed her head, and let out a surge of power.
Pietro was knocked off the roof, and began to fall quickly to the ground. He looked down and watched it get closer and closer, "RRRRRRRRRROOOOGGGUUUE!!"
Rogue opened her eyes, and watched Pietro fall for a moment before her mind was able to register what was going on. "PIETRO!" She reached out and used Jean's telekinesis to stop him in mid air.
Pietro turned to look up at her, he stared up at her, and she looked down at him with fear in her eyes. Rogue looked around nervously, before her eyes landed on the others, who looked like they were planning something.
Rogue glared, she lifted Pietro up and placed him back on the roof, where he had once stood. She turned her attention back to her so called friends...they were her friends, right? She thought they were, but she didn't know for sure. Pietro was trying to help her...but these people had attacked her mentally, doesn't that make them her enemies? NO! They were her friends....right?
Rogue grabbed her head, spun around in the air, and screamed in pain. "STOP IT!! STOPITSTOPIT!! PLEASE BE QUIET!!!" Rogue shouted, her nails in her bare hand digging into her skull. "PLEASE STOP!!"
Pietro watched her from his place, and knew that she wouldn't be able to keep this up much longer. He jumped off the roof, and grabbed Rogue, wrapping his arms around her stomach from behind, holding her arms to her sides.
They fell, Rogue screamed, and the wind whipped around them, and let them land safely on the ground. Pietro stood, still holding Rogue in his arms. He swiped one of his arms down underneath Rogue's knees, and picked her up. Rogue's legs and arms flared out, as she tried to get free from his grasp.
Pietro held her tightly, trying hard to keep her in his arms until she wore herself there. But Rogue was far stronger then he was , and eventually got out of his arms, and threw him away from her with Jean's telekinesis.
Pietro went flying into the side of a car. He slid down the side of the car, leaving a trail of blood, from a wound on his back. Pietro opened his eyes, and looked around. Everything was blurry and unfocused. He could barely make out a outline of Rogue's form coming towards him.
Rogue walked slowly towards Pietro. With each step she took the ground around her boots cracked and trembled. Rogue's eyes glowed blood red, and her fists sparked with electricity. Rogue stopped in front of Pietro. Her eyes looked down at him.
Pietro stared up at her weakly. "Ro-rogue?" He slurred out. His eyes were unfocused as he stared at her.
Rogue reached down, her bare hand grabbed Pietro's throat and she lifted him off the ground. Pietro's hands came up and grasped her wrist. Normally, he would have been shocked at the fact that her powers weren't sucking the life out of him, but he was a little busy trying to breathe.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Inside Rogue's mind;
Rogue was curled up, her knees pulled tightly against her chest. Her eyes were closed tightly as she tried to hide from the psyches that were attempting to take over. She didn't care anymore…
Let them have her body. It's not like it made a difference anyway. Let them do what they wanted, she just wanted to be left alone. Not to hurt anyone anymore. This was the only way....
"Rogue please.." Pietro's voice said. Rogue looked up and around. Where was he? Was she imagining him?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Outside of Rogue's mind;
Pietro was clawing at Rogue's arm, trying to get free. "Rogue please..." He choked out.
After a minute, Rogue's eyes stopped glowing red, "Pietro?" She asked, letting him go. Pietro fell limply to the ground. He looked up at Rogue, as she began crying. "Pietro, help me! Please!" She begged, as she hit her knees in front of him.
Rogue held her head, and screamed in pain again. Pietro pulled her into a hug, he ignored the pain in his arms which he had gotten from the wind early, the ache in his back from hitting the car, and the headache he was getting, as he tried to calm Rogue down.
Rogue screamed into his chest, and clawed at his shirt, trying to get rid of the pounding in her head.
The X-jet landed on a street near by. Storm and the Professor came out.
Logan walked over and took Rogue from Pietro, but the moment that the gothic girl was out of Pietro's arms, the wind picked up again and lighting began to strike the ground around them. Logan leaned down to speak to Rogue, "Come on Rogue! Fight back! Yer lettin' all the people in yer head control ya! The Rogue I know, wouldn't let anyone do that too her!" Logan said, grabbing Rogue by her upper arms and holding her at an arms length.
Rogue looked at him, "Logan! Ah can't fight back! There's to many of them!" Rogue screamed, she pulled out of Logan's arms, and hit the ground with her fists. The street beneath her fists cracked and trembled.
"Come on Roguey! You can do it!" Pietro cheered weakly, as he crawled towards her.
Rogue's head whipped around as she tried to get control again. Soon she let her head drop.
Pietro reached out and touched her head, he brushed some white strands out of her face. Rogue opened her eyes and looked at him, "Ah can't! There-there's to many of them! Ah can't!"
-Let me help you Rogue, we can defeat them together.- Professor Xavier said telepathically to the young girl.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-Let me help you Rogue, we can defeat them together.- The familiar voice rang throughout Rogue's mind. No! Not another voice! She just wanted them all to go away!
Rogue threw up her mental shields before the person speaking to her could react.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Xavier grabbed his head, as Rogue harshly threw him out of his mind. As he tried to break through her barriers, Rogue cried out in pain. Xavier knew that if he continued to try and push through, he might accidently destroy Rogue mentally. He couldn't let that happen.
Rogue continued to scream as her form began to change so rapidly that only Pietro could keep track, and even he was having trouble. Rogue's form stopped for a moment on Juggernaut, before she transformed back into herself, and fell to the side, and into Pietro's arms.
Logan took Rogue's limp form from the teenaged speed demon, and walked towards the X-jet. He told Scott and Jean to help Pietro, as he passed them.
Both nodded and went to help the injured teen.
