UNDERSTANDING
The next day was rather boring. Kind'a nice though. Ah just sat on that rock and played with mah powers a bit. Remy sat across the room starin' as usual, probably tryin' ta read mah feelin's, and Kurt went around makin' sure everybody was alright and that everybody got their fair share of food. But what Remy said really did bother meh. He didn't do it? Ah don't understand, was he playin' both sides, them, or just meh and now he's messin' with mah head in here. Ah know there ain't many girls in here, but his stare is unnervin'. Ah almost forgot how attractive he was. Almost. What good does that do meh, he betrayed meh, memories don't lie. But Ah didn't check his. But could he manipulate his. No, nobody but a telepath could do that. Ah don't think they have any in here. Kurt said somethin' 'bout them keepin' them all in a separate place.
"How did ya do that chere?"
"Huh?" Ah looked up and Remy had sat down next ta meh.
"The lightnin' from ya hand?"
"Oh, untapped power."
"So ya can use powers that aren't ya's?"
"Yep. Mastered it."
"Touch too?"
"What's it ta ya'll?"
"Curious." Ah took off mah glove and raised it ta his face.
"Mah Ah?" He closed his eyes and nodded.
"Oui."
Ah had a hard time concentratin' too much in there. Too much pain, Ah had ta let go quick, but the pain stayed there. Too much, then in the back of mah head Ah heard Remy, "Concentrate chere. It's not yours. It's everybody elses. Block it." Ah whisper, "Ah'm tryin', Ah can't." Mah powers started ta get out of control. Ah was lost in the chaos, Ah don't even know what happened all Ah could feel was the pain. Ah passed out at some point, and when Ah woke up, Ah must'ta given a good show 'cause Ah had an audience of mutants and one of humans. They even pushed their faces up ta the glass ta stare. Kurt was hoverin' above meh checkin' for injuries.
"Rogue, you ok?"
"Oui."
"What?"
"Yeah, but mah head hurts."
"Ja, that's obvious, what was all of that?"
"Stupid empath."
"What?"
"Ah touched Gambit, the emotions got ta meh. Ah lose control all mah powers do too."
"I remember, but don't you have control by now?"
"Yeah, but it was too much. Kind'a an overload."
"Can you sit up?"
"Yeah, just give meh a minute."
Ah closed mah eyes and went searchin' through Remy's memories, he was tellin' the truth. He didn't betray meh. In fact, he held too much respect for meh, he cared for meh. Not love, but not friendship. He wasn't even sure. He went through so much. How could Ah doubt him. Well beside the fact his a thief and meh seein' somebody elses memories. That's definitely a turn of events. He should'a been smarter than that. He had ta know Ah might have ta touch him. Ah ain't apologizin' though. But Ah could definitely beh nicer ta him. Ah opened up mah eyes and got back up and walked ovah ta mah rock, took mah cloak and wrapped it up like a pillow and put it 'gainst the rock. Then Ah picked Remy up and layed him down in the spot Ah just fixed.
Two days later the humans came in guns and tazors ready at dawn. They took meh and some other girls and dragged us back ta that green room and ran some tests on meh. Nothin' too bad, mostly blood work. Then they threw us back inta our beds. A few hours later they left some notes with the food they left us. It had two of the girls names on it along with dates for this week. Ah asked Kurt what that was about as the girls went their separate ways cryin'. He told meh, breedin'.
"What?"
"Yes, you have notice there are not many women?"
"Yeah, but that's just wrong."
"Yes, but even though it is the man who carries the gene to pass to the children, who would want to sleep with a mutant willingly."
"So they have a mutant rape a mutant."
"It's not the way the see it. We are nichts aber tiere." (Nothing but animals)
