STRANDED
Rogue went through each of the doors, reluctantly, letting out each of the many personna's that she knew so well. She hardly noticed Remy behind her, through this whole ordeal, as he closed each of the doors behind each of them, and only concentrating on the task at hand. Soon, there were too many of them. Some wanting to help her, some wanting to hurt her or let her die. She pushed her way through the crowd. She knew what she had to do, she had to access each of their memories, and it wasn't going to be easy. After each of them were free, she tried to push herself through the crowd, searching her mind for a mere resemblance of peace in order to concentrate on this.
That's when she saw him. Just looking at him gave her comfort. Remy was a few feet away, but with all of these 'people' in her way, it was as if they were miles apart from one another. He was trying to push his way to her, not wanting her to be alone through this, well, so to speak. With all of the people she had absorbed through the years, it was as if they were in the sea being dragged out farther and farther from each other in a strong current. Just as if it seemed that they were about to reach each other, they would be pushed back even farther.
Rogue was growing weak from all of this. Sure it was her mind, but she always struggled with all of this. She always felt so wrong for ever having to touch anyone. She would have rather gone without the sensation forever, just so that she would not hurt another person. But that is when it happened, she felt herself slipping, farther and deeper into the darkness of these pieces of people. She felt trapped, she could hear them all at once yelling at her, each wanting something different from her. Finally, on the brink of what felt like madness, she felt it. All the pain, hope, joy, anguish, everything that each one had ever felt in their lives before she touched them. Their yelling only reminded her of the sea, all the more, almost like crashing waves as they all of a sudden came at her. She felt the Pheonix grow weak from the emotions. She was too busy studying them and enjoy them. But Rogue, she was losing sight of everything. It was like she was drowning.
All Remy could see was her falling amongst all of the personna's that they had freed. They looked like zombies trying to attack her. He called out her name over and over, still trying to make his way through the massive crowd, desperately trying to get to her. He couldn't let her go, not now. They were just too close, he couldn't lose her now. But then he lost sight of her, as if she were never there. He panicked. His eyes glowed, intense in his own emotions. He shoved everyone out of his way as if they were nothing, in mere desperation trying to find her, fighting off his anger, only thinking of her.
He just have been projecting it because the Pheonix could also feel it, and it was what brought her over the brink of insanity that she was already on the edge of. She screamed in desperation, totally losing control herself. As each of the memories and emotions shot through her mind, so did everything about her. Rogue's body would shift in appearance to whoever it was that was going through her mind at that moment. No one had control, it was completely random.
In the darkness of her mind, Rogue was lost, completely. She had no idea where she was or how she got there, and this was her mind. She could no longer feel anything, except one Remy. His emotions were burning through her. She was beside herself in pain with just his emotions. It was almost too much to bear, she doubled over in pain, screaming his name. But he never heard her. He was running through the faceless crowd in the forefront of her mind searching for her, when finally someone had grabbed his hand from underneath the crowd. At the mere sight of her, he was beside himself with joy. He helped her stand up with the hand she was still holding. He didn't even notice everything else, everyone else actually fade away as he starred into the endless emerald pool of her eyes. A million words were exchanged just in that mere gaze, understanding one another to no end.
Remy moved in closer, still not believing his eyes that she was alright. He had never been so scared or desperate in all of his life, even through everything he had already endured. He pulled her into a deep, passionate kiss. When he pulled back, he noticed her eyes, were his eyes. She smiled at him, knowingly. Then he stepped back, smiled back at her and then he turned around and walked away, fading, just like the others, into the back of her mind. Rogue turned around, preparing herself for having to deal with the matter at hand, Pheonix.
