Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Xmen. I know, you're disappointed. Nor do I own the music, honestly, did you actually think I owned it? Feh, what dummy heads. Chocolate Covered Cannibalistic Monkeys is the title of my new comic so that's going to be what I own…

))) Oh and uh, people been asking where the Romy is in the story…. It disappeared, along with Rogue's memories… not really but I'll concede and make the story a bit more Romy-er… See what I do for you, my fans?
Technically the next few chapters are going to be random flashbacks of her memories…. You'll enjoy them… Yes you will, and the ingenius plan that Rogue and John had thought up in the previous chapter will come up later.
Walking alongside the Devil
Chapter 15: Fortune
" Let angels weep alone.."
Rogue gripped her hair, her fingernails digging into the tender flesh of her skull.
" Oh dammit, stay in there ya dumb memories…. Ya never do anythin' right! "
FLASHBACK!! FLASHBACK!!
Rogue stared blatantly at the back of the stone, her hands gently brushing against the cool surface. She tilted her head to the side, her hat shielding half of her face from the sunlight. Scooting herself across the dirt soil, she grinned.
" Indiana Jones, Eat your heart out…"
Slipping the precious emerald stone into her right sleeve pocket, Rogue quickly grasped upon the twisted vine that dangled precariously from the cliff side. With a quick huff, Rogue scaled down the side of the jagged precipice, her face set in a stern expression.
" Careful now, wouldn't want to fall now would we?" rang out a voice.
Rogue quickly glanced up, her emerald eyes catching sight of the most vile creature ever spawned into the existence of humanity.
" Jean Grey…." she hissed out.
Jean flashed Rogue a pretty smile as she leaned down over the cliff, her face just inches from Rogue. Quickly lurching out her hands, she grasped upon Rogue's; holding them to the vine. (naturally Rogue's hands are gloved)
" What are you doing all the way out here in South America, Rogue?"
Rogue snarled.
" Ah could ask ya the same thang….Jeannie.."
Jean's pretty little smile quickly morphed into a snarl.
" You didn't honestly think I was going to let you get away with stealing one of the X-Jets now did you?"
Rogue shrugged, her grip tightening against the vine.
" Ah wouldn't call it stealing, ah'd call it borrowing…."
Jean frowned slightly and sent out a wave of telekinetic power, sending Rogue flying into the air. Quickly grasping Rogue's limbs with her telekinesis, Jean held her dangerously over the cliff.
" You know the Professor isn't going to like it when he finds out that you've been out on another one of your little expeditions…."
" He doesn't have to like it Jeannie, It's mah life…. And ah can do what ah want with it.."
Jean shook her head slowly.
" As a member of the Xmen, it's my duty to bring you back to the mansion so that the Professor may deal with you as he sees fit….If it was up to me, I'd have you expelled…"
Rogue's emerald eyes narrowed darkly, visions of Jean's severed falling down into the deep pits of the cavernous hole beneath the cliff enveloping her completely.
" You….bitch…. "
Jean smiled up at her, the I'm-so-perfect look once more gracing her features.
" Now, Now Rogue…. Such foul language…. Maybe when we get back, I should wash your mouth out with some soap…."
Rogue closed her eyes and concentrated with all her might on breaking the hold Jean had on her. Finding an opening, Rogue sent out a shock wave of psionic power towards Jean, catching her off guard and was sent sailing off the cliff. Unfortunately, Rogue couldn't celebrate her victory for suddenly she found herself spiraling downwards right next to Jean.
" OOOOH SHIIIIITTT!!!!!!!!" they both shrieked..
Suddenly the stone in her pocket began to glow, a brilliant flash erupted from the precious rock… Blinding both Jean and Rogue.
Within seconds the light faded and Rogue and Jean found themselves staring down at their doom as several jagged rocks were pointed directly up at them.
Before Rogue struck the rocks below, she found herself surrounded by darkness.
FLASHBACK ENDED!
" Rogue…..Rogue…"
Rogue glanced up slowly, her vision slightly blurred..
" Aye?…" she whispered softly.
A small hologram of Theo appeared before her, a look of concern plastered upon his thin face.
" What's…. Exactly….Exactly….happening…happening….." his voice echoed in her mind.
Rogue tried to shrink down even lower as the voice reverbrated and scratched against her brain.
" Please….."
FLASH BACK FLASHBACK!
Rogue groaned as she lifted herself up.
" Oh gaawd…what happened to me….." she muttered under her breath.
Her body ached all over, as if somebody was playing tug-o-war with her limbs. Lifting herself slowly from the ground, she staggered over to a nearby pool of water. When she looked into it to see her reflection, she broke out into a horrified scream.
Obviously dyed red hair, olive green eyes, khaki pants, green tank top, overwhelming urge to bitch…..
" I'M IN JEAN GREY'S BODY!!! OH MAH ING GAAWD!!! I'M IN JEAN GREY'S BODY!!! GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE?!!! HOW IN THE SEVEN ING ABYSSES DID I GET INTO JEAN GREY'S BODY? WHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYY?!!!!"
Soon after another shriek was heard.
"HOLY BIRDSHIT ON A CRACKER!!!! WHY AM I NOT PERFECT?!!! I DON'T FEEL PERFECT!!!! I CAN'T STAND NOT FEELING EVERY STRAND OF MY HAIR BEING PERFECTLY IN PLACE!!!!! RRRRRRRRROOOOOOGGGGGUUUUEEE???!!!!!!!!!!..."
Rogue shuddered slightly, though it didn't have a good effect considering who's body she was in.
FLASH BACK ENDED!! FLASHBACK ENDED!!!
" Rogue don't black out on me…. Me…..me….."
Rogue moaned loudly, her head pounding.
" Why the hell shouldn't ah… " she growled out irritably.
Theo ignored the tone and continue to stare at her the best he could for being in holographic form and all..
" Shit…." he muttered.
FLASHBACK! FLASHBACK! FLASHBACK!! (you just love my notices don't you?)
Jean Grey ran down the street, completely bare to the world.
" Come my people, join me on my quest to govern everyone to the wonderful way of the nudists!!"
Scott Summers ran quickly over to Jean. Attempting to cover her up with his jacket.
" What the hell do you think you're doing Jean?!"
Rogue stood off in the distance, her mouth wide in shock.
" How dare that little tramp make meh do such a thang…"
It had been exactly a week since the incident in South America. Rogue had gone on her annual expeditions, her archaeologist blood pulsing with the need for discovery. Theo had given her an entire two weeks off so she could run it out of her system… See, last time Rogue didn't fufill her need to discover, she became a detective… and that didn't turn out to well for little Bobby Hill. Poor Bobby Hill, all he wanted to know was who ate the last beefsteak sandwich.
Scenario within Flashback:
" Oh my gaawd, what did you do Rogue?!!!" screamed Bobby Hill.
Rogue turned around slowly, the severed head of Hank Hill hanging from her fingers.
" What?….." she drawled out.
Bobby scurried over to where Rogue stood, cradling his fathers head in his arms.
" OH MAH GAWD, DADDDY!!!!"
Rogue walked around him slowly, her index finger on her chin. Bending over, she lightly patted Bobby's shaved head.
" Don't you see Bobby, ya father, Hank Hill was the culprit after all. He had seen ya beefsteak sandwich, sitting there all willy nilly on the kitchen table and he couldn't control himself. He whipped out his Propane & Propane Accessories and started barbecuing that sucka up on de grill.. "
Bobby stared up at her all teary-eyed.
" Why….Why… did you have to kill him?!!"
Rogue tilted her head to the side, the sunlight glistening off her eyes causing for a psychotic gleam to flash across her face.
" So his wife wouldn't be lonely in hell…"
Bobby's eyes went wide and he immediately burst into the house, screaming for his mother. Rogue grinned evilly and walked down the street, tossing the twenty five cents Bobby had paid her earlier, into the air.
" Next time, she should learn how to speak Spanish…. Isn't that right Speedy?"
Rogue glanced down to stare at the Speedy the Mouse beneath her.
" Si senorita, she should…."
(A/N: FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WHO SPEEDY IS, IT'S AN OLD CARTOON WITH THIS MOUSE WHO ALWAYS WEARS A SOMBRERO AND HE GETS CHASED BY THIS DUMB CAT WHO CANT CATCH HIM. KIND OF LIKE TOM AND JERRY BUT THE MOUSE SPEAKS SPANISH.)
End Scenario: (back to flashback)
It was safe to say, Theo had some serious police forms to fill out after that little situation. But on the topic at hand, After Rogue and Jean realized that they had their bodies switched they decided to keep it under wraps. After all, who would want to speak to the perfect Jean Grey while she was in Rogue's body. And who would want to kill things with Rogue, if she was in Jean Grey's body? It would cause pure unadulterated chaos.
So they both made an agreement to remain in each others bodies until they could figure out how to reverse the effects of the stone. Unfortunately, Jean didn't have the ability to read Rogue's mind after they had made the pact otherwise, she would've seen the evil that laid within.
You see, it's not really Jean Grey streaking across New York, it was Rogue. Rogue was getting her revenge for all the years of torture she was forced to suffer under the hands of Jean Grey. And for that, Jean would have to pay…
" Oh the fun this will be…" Jean's body whispered.
END FLASHBACK!
Rogue rolled her eyes into the back of her head. Blocking out everything around her.
" Need……Excedrin…..Tylenol…..Vicadin…..Morphine…….DRUGS!!!"
Oh yeah, that's it for now… You see I was gonna have Rogue lose all her memories in this chapter but I changed my mind… Don't you feel happy? But don't worry, Rogue won't be gone forever, just while she lives in this world. And don't forget, they still have to catch Tobedia… How can they catch him without Rogue? (laughs evilly) I tell you it is impossible…
Do you not love me?
ANSWER ME!!
