Chapter 17
Rogue opened her eyes slowly. At first it all was just a bright blur. Then her eyes became focused and she looked around.
She was in what seemed to be a lab of some kind.
Rogue tried to move but she found she was bound by a strange glowing wire to the wall.
Beside her also strapped to the wall was Remy, Xavier, Scott, Kitty, Jean, Kurt, Wolverine, Garret, Blackflame, Mirage, Piotr, Pyro, Betsy, Lance, Gravitate, Alex, and Derek.
Xavier, Scott, Kurt, Blackflame, Wolverine, Piotr, Garret, Betsy and Alex were the only ones awake.
Rogue used her super strength to try and pry herself loose, but nothing happened it was like she didn't even have super strength.
"It's useless. These wires seem to suck our powers from us when ever we try and use them." Blackflame stated.
"What's going on?" Rogue asked bewildered.
"A few hours after you left some one broke into the base and knocked us out with gas. Then we woke up to find ourselves here." Betsy answered. She sounded tired.
"But what happened teh us?" She said nodding towards Remy. "All Ah remember is going to that park and then drinking….Oh god, that wine musta been drugged."
"Uhh…." Remy started to shake his head, very disoriented. "Whaaat's-Who."
He glanced around, then turned to Rogue and his breathing started to get heavy. "W-what are we doin here?"
"We were drugged." Rogue said "and brought here."
"I've been here before…" he shuddered.
"What do you mean Remy?" The Professor asked.
"I-Re-I… was brought here years ago….I saw so many horrible things." Remy's whole body was shaking.
"Remy calm down." Piotr commanded, his face filled with sorrow. "A few years before we joined the X-men. Remy was captured by Sinister he was experimented on before Pyro and I saved him."
Remy just stared at the ground.
"Those were some fun times now, were they not Remy?" A voice coming from the hallway said, and Sinister stepped out of the shadows with that girl in the green swirling costume, a woman who was abnormally tall and had black sunglasses on, and Xa!
"YOU! You bitch! You were the spy!" Blackflame screamed.
Xa was looking at the ceiling but then she started breaking down laughing. "No I wasn't the spy Garret was just like the poodles."
Everyone's head turned to Garret, he glared at Xa and said coldly "What are you talking about?"
"You're the spy from the government. You worked your way onto the team and became the team leader and then when using the phone you were calling your boss the government Head to tell them all our plans. Isn't the irony flabbergasting, just like stars in the skies they're beautiful but destructive, isn't life ironic just like-."
"Shut up defective." Sinister ordered. "Actually Xa was the first spy yes but she was also the first mutant I tested my spider droid on. It had some unfortunate side affects and her brain became damaged." Sinister smirked "But then I corrected it and I implanted it into a new brain. This one worked so that he didn't even know he had it in his brain. Now talk about irony." His eyes fell on Remy Lebeau.
Remy's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"
Sinister's red eyes met Remy's and his smirk became a grin. "Did you not ever wonder where those head aches always came from and why they always came at the moments when anything revolving the spy ever happened. Like during the satellite moment, and I really have to give a standing ovation to that Hac marvelous plan, really marvelous but it didn't work."
"I would have known when you put it in me I would have felt it on da back of my neck, someone would have seen it!" Remy yelled.
"No, see Hac had gotten hold of the plans of my past products. My new and improved spider slips under the skin and implants the needle in, quite amazing if I must say so myself."
"Yeh filthy basterd!" Rogue snarled.
This time his eyes turned to Rogue and he examined her closely. "I must say, you, my dear, were the cherry on top of the sundae, in all this planning. I really didn't think that I'd come by such a fascinating subject such as yourself, you are really quite the catch. You could probably be the most powerful mutant of all time. Using my new invention to control you would be most intriguing, with all the power's you have…"
He walked up to her to stroke his hand down her cheek which she tried to bite but he brought it away just in time. "You will make a very valuable asset to this team. You will make me very powerful. I almost do not need to make the rest of them slaves, but I might need them, you know what I say 'You can never have too many mindless servants at your disposal.'"
"But I was amazed that you let yourself work with the X-men. I mean they did trap you in that holding tank for two years before the MPRS saved you."
"W-what are you talking about?" Rogue asked her voice shaking.
"Oh yes that's right your "amnesia"." He let out a low laugh. "Really Rogue did you actually believe that for this long.
Flashback
She screamed in agony as the phycs ripped her mind to pieces.
Just give up Rogue you were never wanted ANYWAYS
You vere never my sister
Rogue the X-men were never really your family they just wanted to use you like every one else.
"Please Rogue you must try and fight them, you must stay calm and let me inside your mind it's the only way"
We only like feel sorry for you, your so pathetic Rogue
"Come on Stripes yah did it before yeh can do it again!"
Rogue you could never live up to Jean you just weren't good enough and you never could be, I mean you can't touch so what's the point.
And who would wanna touch you anyways!
"Rogue come back to us PLEASE!"
Do they really want you back?
She felt her barrier being shredded and all the phsycs invading her memory.
She wasn't there anymore she was gone.
Flashback ended
"I mean all the hints. Like why didn't they ever want to discuss your past."
"They didn't-."
"They did not know It? The great MPRS force with all there technology couldn't track down one girl's past?"
Flashback
"Please I know this is hard to understand but it's the only choice we have. Her powers have been off the chart all week we just can't do this the rest of our lives, risking innocents if Rogue escapes. We have tried talking to her and I can't even locate her mind."
"When will she be sent?"
"Tonight."
Cold, so cold.
So alone.
Flashback ended
"Did you not ever wonder why the X-men looked at you so strangely?"
Flashback
"Should we really tell her about her past?"
"No we won't I mean you didn't see what I saw it was terrible and we can't risk her losing control again."
"But Betsy-."
"Garret trust me when I say it would really be to much for the girl."
"Fine it's agreed no one tells her anything. If she loses control again there are going to be more 'Carol's in the world."
"Alright"
Flashback ended
"And why were the MPRS acting strange around the X-men."
Flashback
"Rogue we're a family we stick together no matter what."
"Rogue you're like my best friend."
"Ve're deh only family ve got now."
"We're lookin out for yeh Rogue."
"Rogue you are my daughter."
"You did it Rogue. The girl who shut herself off from the rest of the world just saved it!"
flashback ended
How-how could they do that? All of them the X-men, the MPRS force, Remy?
She looked at them in horror. No one could meet her eye.
Her heart seemed to stop, her mind seemed to stop.
All she could ask was 'how could they'?
She was sick. Rogue almost didn't want to remember anything.
Almost.
She felt tears burn in her eyes and her mind couldn't think clearly.
Rogue felt the phycs come to her almost in sympathy.
Please let us loose Rogue, we want to help. said a strange voice.
They could take over your mind again?
But did really matter?
Then she wouldn't have to think anymore, she wouldn't have to feel.
So she let them loose, breaking away all the barriers Betsy had put up. Letting the phycs take over while she searched for her memories.
Rogue stepped inside her mind examining her once peaceful field of flowers.
They were now dead wilted to ash, the trees were on fire and terrible storms wreaked destruction on her world.
Tears poured down her face but she wiped them away quickly. She needed to concentrate now.
She pictured the cave where she had seen Betsy.
The setting melted away and Rogue found herself in the cave exactly how she had seen it last time.
The green spiraling portal stood open playing the fragments of her memories over and over again.
She screamed as she smashed her fists against it. Nothing happened it was like hitting air.
Do yeh want yah memories back? Whispered a soft voice behind her.
Rogue turned to look into those dead grey eyes of her younger counter part.
"What are yeh?" Rogue asked
I am yah memories. Do you want me back?
"Yes, Ah think so." Rogue said but even to her it sounded unsure.
Are yeh positive? It will beh really hard on yeh.
"I-I'm positive. Otherwise I'll be livin a lie won't it?"
Betsy was right you could loose control again.
Rogue shuttered as she remembered that feeling in her dreams of all the people she absorbed.
"If I don't I wouldn't be able to live anyways." She answered.
Okay you have to take my hand and absorb me.
"What- NO! I can't absorb anyone anymore after- Ah just-."
If you want your memories back yeh have to.
Rogue took in a deep breath she let her shield of control drop.
If it helps any I'm not really a real person, I'm a part of your mind.
Rogue gave a tiny smile but she wasn't happy about absorbing anyone. Ever since Carol she always had a hard time absorbing someone.
Carol's here you know, she was trying to keep the phycs in check but then Betsy locked her away with them and now she's really angry. Maybe the Professor can put her back in her body.
Rogue let out a sigh still staring at the other girl's hand.
You can do it Rogue after all yeh are meh and onlah you can make me whole again.
Rogue finally met those dead grey eyes.
We can save each othehr Rogue.
She could do this. But did really she want to?
Yes, yes she had to have her memories back. It was part of her life, her past was part of who she was today. She couldn't just leave it because it made things easier.
She wouldn't leave it.
Rogue felt her hand grasp the palm of the other girl's cold hand.
Everything came in a rush.
The girl disappeared and Rogue was thrown into darkness.

Okay I'm gonna be mean again and leave yeh here.

If any of that makes any sense.
