Chapter Seven: Premonitions

A slim and strikingly beautiful blonde woman breezed past Rogue without a word. She had blue eyes, just like Raven said she would.
The young mutant watched the girl with expert eyes. She just had to make sure the woman was who she wanted before she made her next move. Raven had prepped her for this moment for two years. It was the day that Rogue would get her revenge on the woman who tried to kill her family for years.
Rogue didn't care that this Carol Danvers would hurt her next. All she was concerned about was sweet vengeance. She wanted to hurt Carol like she had hurt Rogue's family. Permanently.
"Hey, Carol," a man greeted the woman as she smiled and stopped to talk to him.
Come on, Rogue thought. Where was the distraction when she needed it? Once Carol changed into Miss Marvel, she could be absolute that this was the woman she would kill.
"Help!" some cried in the distance. Mystique, in a different form of course, was dangling off the bridge, screaming bloody murder.
Carol excused herself and ran off. Within seconds, Miss Marvel appeared, soaring in the sky towards Rogue's mother.
Coincidence? Rogue asked herself with a wicked smile. Ah think not. She jumped down from her hiding spot, sneaking quickly towards her enemy.
"I've got you," Miss Marvel said, pulling Mystique from the bridge's ledge. "You'll be okay now."
Mystique shifted shape. "I think I'll be fine," she replied smugly. "But you?"
Miss Marvel gasped. "Mystique?!"
Before the woman could react, Rogue jumped Miss Marvel, and began skin-to-skin contact. Carol's life force immediately began to flow into Rogue's body.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Carol asked, as she tried to fight Rogue off.
Rogue grinned. "They call me Rogue, Miss Danvers. An they call this payback. You hurt mah family. You tried to lock mah mother away, and now it's mah turn t' hurt you."
Miss Danvers tried to use her super-strength to cast Rogue aside, but the young woman held on tight. "Let go of me, you psycho!"
The transfer was almost complete.
"Don't let go, Rogue!" Mystique cried.
She didn't. Even as Carol grew limp in her embrace, Rogue still held fast. Carol's powers began to take over, and Rogue found herself flying high about the city, still clutching her prey.
"P-p-please, stop," she pleaded weakly.
Something about the woman's voice struck a nerve in Rogue. She should let go now, but she couldn't. The power was so sweet, and Rogue didn't want it to stop filling her completely.
The power flow stopped, and Rogue was freaked to find Carol still in her arms. She screamed, and flung Carol down.
The woman fell from the sky, spiraling down, until she finally splashed into the icy ocean below. Crowds of people couldn't believe their eyes as their heroine's dead body floated on top of the water.
Rogue weakly floated down, crying. "What have ah done?"
"What you wanted to do," Mystique replied, perplexed at her daughter's words.
"No, Momma, you don't understand. She's in mah head. An ah can't get her out!"

Irene gasped as the vision ended and the rightful world around her was restored. The vision. she had seen it many years ago, after Rogue's birth. It was the reason why Irene knew Mystique must give the child away. Once Carol's psyche was permanently etched in Rogue's mind, her powers would be hopeless. Rogue would be more afraid of touching others than ever, and control would never happen.
Her death would come next. The X-Men would soon get their own kind of retribution. Their friend's death would be avenged. It would be beneath the X-Men to kill, but in prison, the psyche's long held inside her mind would eventually cause her to go mad. Rogue would deal her own death soon after.
Why was the vision coming back? It hadn't appeared for a long time. The visions of Apocalypse and the end of the world over-shadowed it. Besides, she and Raven had prevented Rogue's death. It shouldn't happen again.
Unless.
Irene knew it. Mystique's "errand" had been a simple lie. Her real plans were now playing in Irene's head. She was planning to reveal everything to her daughter! Could she stop Raven in time?

Mwahaha, for any fans of the comics, as well as the show, you all know the Carol Danvers story well. For those of you who have no clue, Carol Danvers aka Miss Marvel was the reason why Rogue joined the X-Men. Rogue, under Mystique's care, absorbed Carol permanently and put the woman in a coma. Carol's flight, super-strength and invulnerability stayed with Rogue forever, as well as her psyche.
Sorry it took so long for an update, but I've had high school to deal with. You know how that goes. Homework, homework, and some more. Plus stupid projects. Oh well.
Also, did anybody watch today's Evo? Forgot the name of it already! It was pretty awesome!
Please review! MUCH LOVE!
