Prologue
Disclaimer: I do not own anything. X-Men belong to Marvel and the song belongs to Avril Lavigne. I repeat, I own nothing!
A/N: Hello everyone!!! Sorry for the late update! This is the long-awaited sequel to "Take Me Away" and I really didn't want to end it but I knew it would be a drag to keep it going forever.
A/N: Oooooh! What an evil person he is! Um, if anyone has any idea what the names of the mutants in Sinister's team plz plz plz tell me because I am stuck. Another note, the next chapter to my other story ' No Freaking Way' is finished and done but my stupid computer is on the fritz and won't let me upload it so don't think it's discontinued.
So this is the just the prologue when she first arrives at Sinister's hideaway. The actual story will be five years onward. So on and enjoy...
Rogue shut her eyes and waited for Emma Frost to enter her mind and try to erase the dreams that she had about the Cajun guy.
"Are you absolutely sure about this? Coz' once they're gone, they're gone," Emma warned her for the last time. Rogue frowned and looked at her hands.
"Do ah really wanna go through with this?" she asked herself,
"Even if ah hate thah X-Men, ah lahke thah dreams ah have about thah Cajun guy. But ah cannot let mah emotions for him get in thah way of faghtin' thah X-Men," she decided inwardly. She nodded.
"Yah. Ah'm sure. Just do it quickly, okay?" she asked. Emma nodded and placed her hands either side of Rogue's head, fingers level with Rogue's temple.
Both of them shut their eyes and Rogue let her mental barriers slip as she felt another mind blend in with hers.
Emma began erasing all of Rogues' to-be dreams and past ones too. Although all of her concentration was supposed to be on erasing Rogue's dreams, she felt herself thinking about Rogue's decision.
"They have so much history together and so much love between them. Why would she want to erase everything?" she thought, watching another dream behold in front of her mind's eye.
DREAM/FLASHBACKRemy held Rogue close to him as they danced to an Avril Lavigne song.
I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here, by now
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
"Remy told yo' dat dis birt'day would be different, chere," Remy muttered in Rogue's ear. Rogue smiled into his shirt. He was right. This birthday was different. She was happy unlike her other birthdays where no one knew when it was and she was stuck in her room reading a book with Linkin Park blasting from her stereo. It wasn't bad but she couldn't help wishing that one year it would be different. That year was this year. The first birthday she had with Remy LeBeau. And here she was, in his arms with soft music playing behind the couple.
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are, but I
I'm With You
"Thank yah so much Remy. Ah nevah thought that ah'd have such a great birthday an' ah..." she broke off as Remy placed a gloved finger over her lips. He shook his head.
"Non, chere. Remy don't want t' hear yah say t'ank yo'," he said.
"Then what?" Rogue asked curiously. Remy smiled at her handsomely.
"I just wanna see yo' happy an' I don't ever wanna see yo' sad or depressed. I want yo' t' love me and that's enough for dis Cajun," Remy said quietly, looking straight into her emerald eyes. He saw them fill with tears and he wiped each one away until they stopped.
"Remy, ah love yah an' ah always will love yah. An' don't yah ever forget it," she said to the love of her life.
"Chere, je vous aime des fins les plus profondes de mon coeur,"
END DREAM/FLASHBACK
Emma felt tears prickling as she saw even more loving and beautiful dreams that she was forced to erase.
HALF HOUR LATER
Emma removed her hands from Rogue's head as her painful task was completed. Rogue opened her eyes slowly.
"Is it over?" she asked, her voice hoarse. Emma looked away.
"Yes. It is over," she answered quietly. Rogue put a hand to her head.
"Ah think ah'll go take a nap. Ah feel a bit dizzy," she said. Emma nodded.
"Your room is the second on the right along the second hallway to the left," Emma explained and Rogue nodded and left, leaving Emma to clear her head of the dreams she had just erased.

"I want you to alter her memories now that she is asleep,"
"What???? Are you insane? I can't just alter her memories!"
"You will do as you are told,"
"But I can't! She doesn't know!"
"Exactly. If we were to ask her, I am almost 100% sure that she would say no. I need her memories altered so she can aid us in destroying the world!"
"What will I alter her memories to?"
"The X-Men being bad to her because of her power and not coming to save her when she needed them most,"
"And what will happen if I refuse?"
"Try it and you can be the first to find out,"
