Chapter: 7 Amnesia
Remy sat on a stool in the MPRS force's make shift kitchen taking in all that had happened in the last hour as he watched Mr. McCoy run in and out of the curtains they had set up for privacy issues.
Rogue was being kept in one of the spare rooms guarded by BlackFlame who had seen to Rogue's wounds and her own as well. She wouldn't let any X-men inside and only sometimes let MPRS members in. She sat outside the door to the room on a chair with her lab top glaring at any one who so happened as look at the door. She would sometimes grab food for Rogue and herself but that was the only time she left that chair and she also left to check up on Rogue of course. Pyro, who had stitches in his right eyebrow and a busted lip, had wondered when she went to the bathroom or slept.
At one point Kitty had threaten to phase through the door. But BlackFlame was surprisingly or not so surprisingly manipulative, very manipulative and had talked Kitty out of it. Remy wouldn't want to become her enemy.
Mr. McCoy rushed back into one of the curtain rooms.
Remy had offered to help but Mr. McCoy turned him down saying he would only be in the way. Remy was a little hurt by that, but knew Hank was being put under a lot of stress with the need of medical hands and that he probably didn't realize it had came out so harsh.
There was four critically wounded. Mr. McCoy had to operate on Toad ironically luckily Mirage's mother had been a doctor and had taught her a lot, so she was suitable help. Xa was still out cold but Hank said she had no sign of any injuries at all he had done every thing he could and checked her over at least a dozen times. Storm was suffering from a broken ankle and Piotr was suffering a mild concussion. Most of the other X-men were either resting or out searching which was mainly Logan because after the fight he couldn't stand being here.
"Hey boy throw me a coke from the fridge." BlackFlame commanded.
He glanced over at her. She looked at him as if daring him to say no. He shrugged and didn't fall for her bait. He grabbed a soda and threw it to her as she caught it the doors that led outside opened up and in wheeled Xavier. With Jean, Scott, Nightcrawler and Lance behind him. They headed towards BlackFlame.
"My students have informed me that Rogue is alive?" He asked bewildered.
"She is." BlackFlame pronounced coldly.
"Well then don't you think we should see her?" Said Xavier as if he was talking to a child.
"No I don't." BlackFlame stated. "And let's get this strait before you go on treating me as if I have no idea of what I'm doing. You locked her away, left her to rot in that hell of a prison. You also stopped her brain patterns. So she wouldn't even be able to have her dreams to comfort her. We had Betsy who was the most powerful psychic that we could find at the time pull her mind from the cage you put it in. It put so much stress on her mind that she went into a coma and stayed that way for five weeks we didn't think she would make it. But she did she awoke to find herself not knowing who she was or anything about her powers. She also had no control over them. Betsy had to literally sew her mind together with the different personalities running around in her brain. We helped her recover. She became like a little sister to us. Then she surpassed us all, becoming the amazing woman she is today. She has a life now and she is so passionate about this cause. She probably throws herself into it more then Marium Vonrose the very designer and creator of the MPRS. And you are not; I repeat not going to destroy her life again. No matter what it takes I'm going to keep that for her."
"We all feel that way." Mirage said coming from behind the curtains. "She's settled down here. Do you really think for you to throw this other life on her is good for her or is it for you? I can understand you miss her but if you really love her you won't put her through this. Let her live the life she's made."
Professor Xavier sighed putting his head in his hands. "Maybe your right, it's just so hard when…" He wiped away the tears that fell down his face. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then seemed to regain his composure.
"I think your plan suits this best." He said calmly.
"Professor what-"
How can we just-"
"Rogue's there in that room all we do-"
"Why can't-"
"Students be quiet!" He snapped his sharp voice cutting through the cries of protest. Everyone was instantly quiet no one had ever heard that tone from Xavier before. "I'm sorry I lost my temper. But we need to do now what is best for Rogue. Do we really want her to be hurt anymore?"
There was an awkward silence. Then Mirage spoke "We really need your help with Essex. Do you think you could work with Rogue?"
"We must this is a far greater problem then our petty differences." Xavier said.
The X-men all nodded in agreement though most were very grim.
"Good because we will be moving to our old base it's much larger and more equipped then this one this is only s safe house." Garret said coming out from one of the curtains with Xa in tow.
"When did you get up?" Pyro asked very confused. "I thought you was out colder then a fish frozen in a bucket."
She looked at him and seemed to examine him. Her head cocked to the side. Then she said sounding exactly like Pyro, exactly. "When did you get up? I thought you was out colder then a fish frozen in a bucket."
He raised an eyebrow. "Now don't start with me Shelia I have to say I'm bettah at this game then you are."
Again she repeated his words sounding just like him. Then they got into some sort of word battle. Pyro trying unsuccessfully to come up with something that Xa couldn't say every one was staring at them like they were crazy.
They didn't notice when Rogue opened the door, but Remy did. Mon dieu she was beautiful. Her hair was dropped down along her chest. That gorgeous white stripe and those eyes he could get lost in those. He realized some of the things she had to keep the same because they would notice if she had changed them. Like her eyes and her body were had to stay the same. The rest she changed. She walked slowly and quietly till she was right behind BlackFlame and watched in interest the mimicking match. Remy slowly absorbed what he had heard. She lost control? They had to lock her away? She didn't remember anything about her X-men days. She didn't remember he used to be her enemy? He raised an eyebrow. She didn't remember he used to be the enemy? He kept coming back to those words.
"R-R-Rogue…" Nightcrawler stuttered.
Everyone turned to stare. "Oh so Garret told yah'all the truth about me has he." She said giving them a warm smile. "See I told yah sugar." She said walking towards Garret. "They don't know who I am and they if they have thah haven't raised there pitchforks yet." No one seemed to chuckle they all just stared at her. She looked at them strangely and uncomfortably. "Why are yah'all starin at meh?"
"We're just surprised your awake and walking." BlackFlame said quickly "You took quite a fall if it wasn't for your invulnerability I would have had to sew your organs back in.
Rogue winced. "There's somethan' I didn need tah know. But if Ah ever need my organs sewed back in Ah'll let yeh know."
Black Flame gave her a smirk.
"Rogue maybe you should get packed up we're going to leave for the old base as soon as we can. Adao having some trouble with his powers and he wants you." Garret said.
She smiled softly "He's such a sweetie ain' he?"
"He wasn't so sweet when he was deteriorating buildings." Pyro stated under his breath. Xa who was still repeating everything he said. Repeated that but much louder then Pyro had before.
Rogue glared at Xa but then she pointed to Pyro who was gapping as Xa gave him an evil grin and winked. Rogue turned her glare on him. "Well he didn' know what he was doin' his powars were out of control."
"I didn' say notin' Shelia I swear!" Pyro protested.
"I didn' say notin' Shelia I swear!" Xa repeated.
"STOP THAT!" Pyro yelled.
"STOP THAT!" She said with a smile.
"STO- oh crickeys sake." He said and he shut up, crossed his arms and started pouting.
"STO- oh crickeys sake." She said and shut up then mimicked his features.
"Wow someone finally got Pyro to shut up there is a new o-"Piotr started but paused when he saw Rogue. "Are you not supposed to be dead?"
"I didn' fall down that hon." She said
"Bu-" Kitty ran up and covered his mouth with her hand. "I think he's still suffering from the concussion he got she explained nervously. "Come Piotr let's go see Dr. McCoy now." She said as she led him away.
"Well people let's get packed I'd like to get to the old base tomorrow." Garret announced. Scott glared at him for taking the lead.
Well I know it's a sucky ending for this chapter but I couldn't think of something else. Well thanks for the reviews yah'all I appreciate it keep reading!
