Well time for another chappie enjoy. Sorry it took so long but I had school crap to work god I hate science! Actaully I did when I wrote this. But now I just got back from a vacay in Florida YAH SUN BURN! It was warm and I saw the ocean and now I'm blabbing so I'll shut up. On with the story.

Chapter 11:

Rogue dodged to the side as a laser hit the spot where she had just been standing.

"Rogue!"

She spun around to see Derek aim his fist and send a red wave of explosive power over her shoulder sending his target, one of training androids that was about to hit Rogue, flying.

Derek gave her an arrogant grin and said "No need to thank me savin' damsels in distress's my calling."

She gave him an innocent sweet smile and fluttered her I lashes at him.

Then turned and did a triple back flip landing in a round off. She did all this while escaping any danger and phasing through four walls that had come up from the ground.

She then mirrored his grin and faced him.

He had a surprised expression but he revived quickly giving her a mock look of annoyance and mouthed 'show off ' but then a small smile played on his lips.

Rogue waggled her fingers at him and teleported up towards the ceiling.

She then used Gravitate's power and landed gracefully near Gravitate himself who was struggling with a pair of medal arms that weren't affected by his power. (because of course they were attached to the ceiling.)

"Need some help sugah?" She asked as her hands formed into two long glowing blue blades.

Gravitate gave a little bow and backed away as Rogue sliced the arms into pieces.

"Thank you my dear lady" He said kissing her hands that were now back to normal.

"Now it's my turn." He said evilly and five androids fell from the ground and crashed to the ceiling.

He was kind of hot when he got all evil like that, Rogue thought, to bad he was gay. Why is it always the cute ones.

Rogue flashed him a smile and crawled down the right wall of the training room, using intense heat that now radiated from her palms, to seal up the door in which lasers and other things came out of.

She liked using this trick in the training room. It was better then waiting to see what would come out.

She was three fourths the way down when she spotted a flying sharp edged disc shooting towards her.

Her eyes widened and she was frozen for a few micro seconds. ( I don't think there's such a thing but you get my point.)

But just in time she jumped off the wall and flipped through the air landing to face the wall she had just been on, which was now impelled by a sharp disc.

Wow that was a little to close for comfort she thought thinking about what would happen if that had hit her.

As she thought a huge explosion blew up behind her and the force of it threw her into the wall. Rogue hit it and fell towards ground.

She waited and waited for the impact but it never came that's when she realized she was in a pair of very strong arms.

Rogue looked up to meet a familiar sight, pools of crimson framed by black.

Remy.

He had such a handsome face she thought as her mouth opened in awe and her hand (against her will or as Rogue would like to think) reached up to stroke along the side of his face.

They both seemed to be in a world of there own.

But Remy recovered quickly and dropped her.

"Uh uh, Cherie, Remy ain't fallen for dat one twice, once was a big enough bruise." He said with a smirk.

"See ya chere" and he ducked as a metal arm was about to hit him.

But then the metal arm that was aimed at Remy was now going towards Rogue at lighting speed (as Remy had planned).

But to Remy's horror she didn't even try getting out of the way.

Rogue stood her ground and grabbed tightly onto the arm. Then she used her super strength and ripped the arm from the wall.

But she wasn't done yet, she used the arm as a whip and beheaded two of the androids then threw the now useless scrape medal at another android knocking it over.

"Thanks swamp rat." She said with a smirk of her own.

Remy was facing her wide eyed with shock. His mouth moved but no words came out.

That made Rogue's smirk turn into a grin.

She dragged up her hand along his chin teasing it as she walked by, when she had gotten a few feet away she called over her shoulder.

"Oh and swamp rat maybe that time, Ah wasn't gonna give yeh a bruise." She gave a suggestive wink and then joined Black fire in the corner to help her fight of one of the bigger more advanced androids.

Training session over. Came Garret's voice over the intercom.

All of you who failed, are meeting Logan tomorrow at the same time, same place. This got groans from those who failed. The MPRS's training room had more gismos then the danger room that meant more torture instruments for Logan to try out.

The rest of you will be meeting me to in the planning room for a special mission. You are dismissed. Rogue I would like to see you in my office after you're done cleaning up.

Rogue gave a puzzled look but just shrugged and headed to the locker rooms.

Rogue entered into Garret's office and saw him working on the computer. He looked up in shock.

"Oh yes I asked you to come down here r-right u-um…" He quickly typed something in on the computer and turned it off.

What was that? Rogue thought raising an eyebrow at Garret's act.

"Soooo…" Rogue said inspecting her nails trying not to look like she was suspicious. "What didja wanna talk about."

"Well I…" He seemed nervous and he looked down at his desk. "I wanted to talk to you about something but I don't want you to take it the wrong way I just-…"

"Spit it out, Garret," She said a smile forming on her lips, she could barely hold back laughing he hasn't acted this flustered since…oh no.

"It's about LeBeau."

"Who's that?" Her voice was monotoned well maybe he wasn't going to talk about it.

"Remy." He said frigidly.

"How about yeh don't talk and we pretend this neveh happened." Rogue stood up about to leave.

"Please just listen to me Rogue." He walked over and grabbed her hands. "Do you remember when we first met. How we felt, it was amazing. You were amazing."

He looked deeply into her eyes, pleading with her. "I miss you Rogue, I miss you so much. Why can't you give us one more chance?"

"We've had enough chances, yah've had enough times to mahke it raght. But yeh can't, we're done." Rogue said coldly and slipped her hands from his.

His face contorted in frustration. "Please Rogue I don't think you remember I love you."

"No Ah remembeh perfectly." She said her voice wavering as she tried to hold back the anger. "You. Broke up. With. Meh. Yeh said it wahsn't good foh the team. Our relationship could geht all of them killed you left meh cryin' on a park bench in the middle of the night. That's what I remembeh Garret. You chose to beh leader and with it comes stuff yeh can't have. If yeh want the role then yah stuck with it for life. A life with out me in it."

She walked around him and reached for the doorknob when Garret spun her around and slammed his mouth on hers.

She was about to pull away when something strange started to happened.

The room began to spin like before and she realized it was happening again.

The strange almost familiar scenes that played in her mind coming into reality.

Right before she collapsed into the vision she heard a voice calling for help then it all faded away

She was in what seemed to be a ware house, well at least that was what she thought it was there was crates every where, piled high. The roof was what through her it was a smooth metal dome.

But every thing seemed so far away and there was this voice, this pressure telling her to hide, her body did just that.

She ducked quickly behind a pile of crates, just as a boy made of medal, carrying a crate walked by.

Wait! Wasn't that one of the X-men?

She sneaked up on him like the voice asked and then, well this is what really threw her, scared her even, all she did was brush her hand along his neck and the absorbsion started.

NO! Rogue started to hyperventilate, Betsy stopped this from ever happening again.

This was all fake.

She wanted to believe it.

But some how she new it wasn't.

The memories she got for him were so real. She supposively was part of the X-men.

But he wasn't, he was their enemy and tried to kill her on more then one occasion. His memories were so sad. He didn't even want to be part of this supposive team. Some man, the leader named Magneto black mailed him into it. His sister was sick and Magneto would only pay the hospital bills if Piotr did his dirty work.

His memories were a trickle at first but then it quickly became a flood.

Her mind couldn't take it, but just as it was about to overwhelm her it all stopped.

The invisible force had let her stop.

But it wasn't over, it was far from over.

Again another man came this one she recognized as Sabertooth, from Piotr's memories. This man's past his horrible deeds it tore at her made her want vomit. He was a vile evil disgusting pig. He liked the smell of blood running, the screams and cries of mercy were greater than any true ecstasy he had ever felt.

When the invisible force let her stop, this time it also had to stop her from killing herself.

Because she was him, she had done those things, those sick disgusting things.

Maybe the force will allow me to wake up now.

Please, please stop, no more…

But her pleads went unanswered.

The force had found another victim for her to take.

He was that crazy pyromaniac on the X-men team.

His past was filled with sorrow, his father tried to kill him and his mother more then once. They had luckily escaped his father's clutches not before he had burned John's mom's arm so bad that it had to be surgically removed and now all that was left was a stump. (A/n okay I made it up but I don't know John's past and he needs some drama.)

Tears slipped down her face as she thought about those horrible thoughts of revenge that had came to John's mind.

The force then turned to her next victim and was shocked to see Remy.

His beautiful locks and his beautiful eyes.

Part of her loved seeing him amongst all these thing s going wrong he was like her ray of hope but the other part of her knew he was next.

No she wouldn't allow it. She wouldn't, no matter how much or how long she had to fight she wouldn't give him the same fate.

Do it absorb him you have no choice. NO! He won't end up like Carol. He won't be like the others. He will because you will succumb to my will. I AM POWER! A power that you cannot beat. Do as I command!

And to her horror her body began to move.

She fought back pushing the voice away.

She got in control, but it was too late she could feel Remy's soft lips on hers and she could see his look of surprise and maybe something else.

She couldn't move it was… it was unexplainable.

But she had to stop, the memories were starting to be too much.

She was plunged in and out of them knowing love, hate, betrayal destruction, and true lust.

But then she plunged into something else cold, icy cold, she couldn't breath.

She tried to hold her breath but she was suffocating so she did the only thing she could.

She took a gasp of air and realized she was in her body again.

She opened her eyes to a big blue furry face with concerned eyes.

Her body snapped up her head was flailing wildly. Then she recognized the place she was in the infirmary and this must be Mr. Hank McCoy.

"Wha-what happened?" She asked Hank bewildered.

He examined her with curious eyes that seemed to hide something behind them.

"I believe you collapsed my dear or at least that's what Mr. Garret told us. It's strange that you should collapse perfectly healthy, and in a restful state." Hank said in a skeptical manner.

"What? Yah hintin' Garret had a part in meh collapsin', because doctor Ah can personally tell yah your wrong." Rogue said in an appalled tone.

No matter what Garret did he had always been a friend to her and she wouldn't let him be accused of such a thing.

"Really?" Hank asked raising an eyebrow. "I'd love for you to share this with me."

Rogue glared at him.

But that didn't seem to faze him.

"I was sitting in his office and every thing just went dark and next thing I know I'm here in the infirmary speaken' teh a nosy doctor." She lied smoothly. You had to know how to lie if you wanted to be part of the MPRS.

Hank just nodded and wrote something down on a form.

"Whatchya doin' this ain't no counselor session."

Hank sighed "I'm quite aware of that Ms. Rogue, but is it not your policy that I must fill out a form that tells how, when, and where this injury took place."

"Oh" Rogue looked down blushing. "Sorry I just don't like any one messin' with my friends."

"Well I don't plan to 'mess' with any of your friends heaven forbid if I try, I don't want to know what you have in store for me." Hank said with a chuckle.

And Rogue gave him a soft smile and asked. "Do think I could leave I'm feelin' fine."

"I don't think so Ms. Rogue. They would probably kick me out if I let one of my patients leave a few hours after they have collapsed it's possible that you might collapse again."

"I know, and I guess it's a stupid question to ask but I never really liked hospitals much."

"I know"

Her head snapped back to ask him how on earth would he know that but he was gone.

God, this was so confusing.

They could just be dreams, but so many things have got themselves looking suspicious it's hard to tell reality from dreams any more.

She chuckled her life could be a soap opera.

She heard the door open and spotted Garret. He met her eyes, then looked down at the floor, his face turning red.

"I'm sorry Rogue, I'm so sorry about every thing that I have done to hurt you. But sometimes I can't take it any more the leadership role you know?" He said in a soft voice as he ventured a glance at her.

She gave him a weak smile. "It's okay Garret I know yeh."

"No!"

He said walking up to her bed taking her hands and looking up into her eyes. There were tears in those eyes tears that refused to shed.

"I had no right to do that and I hope you believe me when I tell you I'm sorry, and you can be with who ever you choose. I just hope that we can still be friends like we were before all this craziness happened."

She pulled him into her arms. "Of couhrse do yeh think that somethan' as stupid as that could ruin ouhr friendship?"

She could feel him shaking and she new he was crying.

"It's so h-h-hard…"

"I know." And truthfully she did, she knew him, his feelings, his life. She knew him like she knew every one.

And she tightened her grasp on him.

It was impossible burden…..leadership.

You couldn't feel.

You get so caught up in doing things that are best for the team that you tend to forget about yourself.

But no one can become a leader if they didn't have someone to hold them up.

She was Garret's someone.
