I am using everything to make this story. Bits and pieces from X-men Evolution, X-men the movie and the comics. Was hoping it would be well rounded. Oh, and this is just Rogue letting you know what's going on. Next, she finds where her place, but not how she hoped. Go ahead and tell me what you think. Any ideas are welcome too. My first fic so please try not to be too mean. :-)

MIDNIGHT FLIGHTS

Ah still remember that night, it just keeps replayin' itself in my head, that night Ah took Ms. Marvel's powers. It's been a couple a'months since then. Ah ended up in Chicago starin' at the whole mess play out. Momma knew exactly what she was doin' and boy did she have some timin'. Whatever happened worked 'cause Apocalypse is really dead, or at least in some stasis chamber someone has yet t'find, but that just from some rumors. Ah only look out for myself and sure it gets lonely but the last thang Ah need are some angry humans on my back. It's been a lot harder bein' a mutant now, at least in America. Land of the free, yah sure, not if ya' a mutant. But Ah heard some people talk about somethin' goin' on in Canada and how they aren't doin' anythin' ta help with the 'mutant problem'. Ah wonder how they feel up there. Ah'm just sittin' here in a lil' coffee shop tryin' mah best to look inconspicuous. It's kinda hard though since it's kinda warm outside, especially for fall out here. But there is enough of a breeze outside so Ah hope no one picks up on me 'cause of my clothes.

Ah'm just sittin' in a dark corner so that no one accidently touches my skin as they are up and about, since it's a lil' busy here. Seems like lil' coffee shops are the only things makin' it now a'days. The humans are tryin' ta rebuild from what happened with Apocalypse, but now they hate us all the more. Can't say Ah blame them, Ah guess Ah would too. But their ways of doin' it are not too appealling. Ah mostly come in here to listen to people for information 'bout what's goin' on in the outside world, and cause they have a radio, which seems the only means of hearin' the outside world at this point.

Yesterday Ah was listenin' and Ah found out that since the country was hit pretty hard, and with what governm'nt they have left they are stating that th' mutant registration idea was put inta action. But they don't want us just registered, they want us put into camps. Anybody with any information or even a suspicion of a mutant should report them and they could get some hefty reward. So Ah'm in here today, scared a lil' outta mah mind tryin' ta find out a lil' bit more about Canada and their unhelpfulness. After bein' here for about two hours of havin' nothin' but coffee, Ah finally hear a group a'guys talkin' 'bout it. So like music to mah ears Ah get up and try to use some feminine whiles and southern charm to get these 'gentlemen' ta help me understand the situation fully.

Well, at least it worked, even though Ah had to step on mah pride ta do so, but Ah would rather survive without a lynch mob on mah tail. Even as the world nearly comes to and end they still treat meh like a some lil' girl who is too ditsy ta do anythin' for myself. Are ya kiddin' me? One of 'em actually said that he'd protect meh from the big nasty mutie freaks. Boy did Ah wanna give him a taste at what a 'mutie freak' could do ta him. He even had the nerve ta touch mah bare arm for good measure. In the past few months Ah have gained some control, but Ah still flinched but made it out as if the whole mutant ordeal just made mah skin crawl, and he actually bought it. They all did. Makes me sick. Not long after the whole death of Apocalypse ordeal, everythin' kinda shut down, but the coffee shops are given rations by the government. So the first thing this girl did was some shoppin'. Especially seein' as all Ah had on meh when Ah got out here was mah uniform that Mystique gave meh, and that is not inconspicuous. So Ah have a bag of clothes and Ah scoop that off, find a nice place nobody will see and take off in the night ta Canada. Ah certainly hope it's better than this hell hole. America seemed to be hit the worst by what happened, all of the major cities just crumbled. Maybe Ah'll be better off away. Only tahme will tell. Ah'm just goin' ta start over, no more Marie. She and Carol are dead. Only Rogue is left.
