Disclaimer: Sent! Finally, so right now i just have to wait. Unfortunately, until i get my reply saying that "yes yes, by all means work freely on Rogue as your own as long as you don't make any profit" she isn't mine.X-men belongs to Stan Lee, Marvel Entertainment and Fox Group, i figured out what is was.


CH 4 Ah thought dying felt worse.


She felt herself being hoisted and she felt sudden gusts of wind sweep her hair also. She readjusted her sight and noticed that she was no longer seeing the wall, but a bloodstained shirt that was not her own. She yelped.

"Shh, is okay" a voice from above her said. She tried to crane a bit to see, but her injury became an impediment for that. She continued watching her blood over the shirt, that was the only her position and eyesight allowed her to see in stunned silence.

"Through here" said somebody close by. Whoever was carrying her slowed down a bit and carefully set her on a bed in the med lab. She could only see the ceiling, but at least she was still focusing on the objects outside of her mind. She noticed the presence of Xavier.

"Rogue, I'm going to try and read your mind. From here I can only not see your thoughts, but too many to sort this way. I'm going to hold my hands to your head, just above your skin, to focus better."

"Aren't you afraid of what you may find, Charles?" Eric replied dryly from her.

"Rogue, don't talk. Ease your thoughts"

"I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't let me" Warren pressed on.

"She does things her own way, dude." John's voice rolled of her before Xavier could reach her. Mrs. Monroe and Gambit were still in the room. Ororo looked paler than ever, whilst Gambit had been taken by her beauty and awed by her actions, seeing her do al those different voices got his attention a bit too much.

"Storm, Gambit, I am very sorry but I do find it best for the two of you to depart. Thank you very much, once more, Gambit" Xavier added before facing Rogue's problems once more.

"Didn't see that one coming, Chuck?" Wolverine came out. Rogue closed her eyes. It was okay for now. Wolverine had taken control. She started to slowly heal. Professor Xavier watched in deep amazement that she still had his active power. Rogue tried to surface from the sea of thoughts in which she was hesitant to leave, but it was a too deep to reach the surface.

"Professor?" she asked tentatively. The wound had just finished healing

"Yes, Rogue?" he asked back to make sure it was her this time.

"It's me. Ah'm very sorry. Ah shouldn't have skipped math, Ah shouldn't have touched Scott. Ah shouldn't have made that scalpel into a dagger and punctured mahself. Ah'm sorry." She talked fast and devotedly.

"I understand, Rogue" he answered, just to reassure her. Just then, Dr. McCoy entered the medlab.

"No, ya don't. What ya can see is so distant to what is really happening. Don't ya see? The strong willed are taking over mah ahead." She seemed to be talking to herself.

"That's all right, Rogue. I would like you to stay and rest here for a few hours. I have over here a sedative that might allow you to sleep soundly for at least five hours. How does that sound? No nightmares and no memories for a while, so that you can: Rest. I believe trying to sort your thoughts doesn't always yield beneficial, if you could use that word, results." He said slowly. She hadn't tried to interrupt. She nodded looking at him.

"Char--" She clapped a hand over her mouth.

"Oh, and yes, we will have to figure something out for the speech. That has been out of line for quite a few months, hasn't it? I believe that Eric, Logan and John tend to express themselves through you that much since they are much more or merely more powered than you. But there is a way around it if I am correct" he smiled to her. She still didn't budge from looking at him.

"Okay" she said quietly.

"Depression and shyness is a major factor in their influential activities, consider this." Dr. McCoy added in, she nodded eagerly.

"Yeah, Dr. McCoy" She said.

"Good. Now Dr. McCoy has come to give you the sedative. You might know all to well that I am not an expert on the subject, or at least that Dr. McCoy is much more knowing in this area."

"Is Angel mad at me?" Rogue talked confidently.

"No, though he did seem to be in quite a shock from you past actions. Very rash of you to do that" he said. "Oh, and I advise for you to visit Gambit and Mrs. Monroe after you leave to thank them, they did save you, you know." He said softly. She laughed a bit.

"Ah knew what Ah was doing, but yes, their intentions we're good" she replied, she always knew that that part of the Wolverine was ever present.

""Remember the gloves, Hank" he added in an undertone to him on his way out, hopeful that Rogue hadn't heard it. She obviously heard, though, she did have Logan's keen senses.

"Ah would've told him anyways, Professah" she said from behind.

"I know you would, Rogue" he looked up to her before exiting.

He left noisily and Dr. McCoy quickly got the necessary things together.
