Thanks for the reviews; I got the perfect ending to this story. Of course there will be a sequel. Loves, Reviews! -Spades


Chapter Nine- Everything will be okay


Roberto and Rahne saw the baby first. (After Amara, Jean, and Storm) It was true, it was like any other baby. It was a surprise that Jean's belly wasn't as large as it was supposed to be.

"What's her name going to be?" Rahne asked, passing it to the new mother.

"I was thinking…. Rachael… Rachael… Summers." Jean smiled and looked up at the four of them surrounding her. This was going to be great. Scott may not be the real father… but perhaps he can be the adoptive father.


Logan found Stryker's base at a large lake. It bring memories back to his head, but still fuzzy.

"Come on, this way!" He ordered, and everyone got ready to strike. First, after knocking all the guards out (or killing them) Scott blew the door open with his evil lasers! (A/N: sorry, hyper ness activating…)

Many guards were swarming the door, but were easily taken off guard by the remaining X-Men. The alarms went ringing in their ears, and they knew they had to act quickly, or they'd never complete the mission…

Rogue awoke with people surrounding her. They had shots in them, chains, guns, and any other defending weapon you could dream of.

"Don't move- or we fire." An older man ordered. He grabbed her hand, and began to move her fingers and such.

"What are you doing?" Rogue asked, hardly more than a whisper. Her head hurt, and her hands hurt like hell. It was even hard to move her fingers.

"We put antidemantium (sp?) To your skeleton, Weapon 13. Currently it shows you have claws, but where, we have no idea…."

"Like Wolverine…" Rogue said, and put her head back on the pillow.

"GUARDS!" Stryker yelled. "Medicate her again…" But he got interrupted by the sirens going off. The men started to leave, leaving three behind to put the silvery medication in her neck. They took out the needle, and flipped over Rogue. She was soon asleep from the stinging pain in her neck.


Remy took out a trio of cards, and charged them. He threw then at four of the guards, and his cards exploded. The four of the guards flew back, hitting their heads on the concrete wall. Blood poured down, and Remy went into a door to the left. Nothing. He went to the one on the right. Nothing. He went up the hall, and continued to search until he found a pair of double doors that were locked,. He charged the door knob, and busted in through the smoke.

There in the middle lay Rogue, whom lay in a small bed. Several cameras were watching closely, but he took care of that. After the cameras were shot through, Remy ran to Rogue. She was totally out of it.

Her eyes were half way open, not showing any signs of green, but silver. Her skin was pale, and her knuckles…

She looked like she was dead. Remy noticed some chains that were tied around her ankles and wrists. Remy solved the problem quickly, and Kitty ran in.

"You found her! Come on, take her, the guards are like, attacking us everywhere." Kitty said, almost out of breath. Remy tried to pick her up, and succeeded. But just barely.

"She's put on a lot of weight…" Remy mumbled, and Kitty phased them to the base floor.


Jean held her baby close to her that night. Storm stayed in the living room by the phone, waiting for any news of the X-Men. The rest of the X-Men had already gone to bed.

It was then that the door opened. Storm looked at the X-Men.

Everyone's uniforms were shredded almost into pieces, most of them were bleeding, not too severe cuts. Wolverine was carrying Rogue though. Remy was following Logan close behind, worried about his most likely girlfriend.

"Is everything alright?" Storm asked, worried.

"Don't think so, Orono." Wolverine said plainly. He laid Rogue on the couch. Not much had changed. Her eyes were the same, the clothing she had on (which she barely even had any on at the moment…) were almost torn as well.

"Oh my goddess…" Storm went over to check on her, and everyone crowded around.

"Logan, Do you know anything about this?" Xavier asked.

"No, not really, Charles. Rub on her knuckles…" Remy did so. It was amazing, when he touched her skin with his own bare skin, nothing happened. Remy took this as a good sign, and rubbed on her hand. Nothing happened, though.

"Perhaps we should wait until morning."


Rogue woke up the next morning, and nobody really spoke. Rogue was still confused about everything. Rogue didn't eat, drink, or look at anything except her own feet on the floor. But that night was the High school dance.

"Rogue, chére…" Remy spoke up to her as the first person to speak. "Look, t'night is de high school dance, remember? I was wondering whether y'd go wit me."

"Sure." Rogue said cheerfully, and smiled up at him. "Ah'd love that.

"Y'know, everything is going to be alright."


The End


Okay, the ending sucked big eggs, but I couldn't think of anything. Sequel soon I think… reviews! Oh, by the way, Xavier was outside during the rescueing of Rogue, so yeah… -Spades
