CAUSING TROUBLE

After class was over, he waited for Rogue to come back out. He waited for a good fifteen minutes and couldn't take it anymore. Remy went sneaking around in the back, and found Rogue, fully dressed, but passed out on the floor. He tried to wake her up, but could not. So he picked her up and ran her down to the med bay. Luckily, Beast was already down there and waiting. Remy laid her down on the cot and let Beast look her over. But when he looked at her eyes, there was an immense fear that was more than obvious coming from the man. He ran over to get a communicator and called for some help. Remy was extremely confused, especially when the frantic Beast cam back into the room with metal bracelets and handed two to Remy and asked him to lock down her arms and legs. But then, it was too late. Rogue's eyes flew open, and not to the normal green color that Remy enjoyed so much, but to blue. But before he could even begin to register any of this, she had grabbed him by the throat and shoved him against a nearby wall, holding him there.

"R-ro-gue?" Remy tried desperately to get out in his attempt to breath. She smiled and shook her head no. But just as she was about to say something to him, Wolverine, Scott and Jean ran into the room. She didn't drop Remy, but turned to see them with a blank look on her face.

"This ain't something you wanna do darlin'."

"How would you know? You didn't care about me enough. None of you did. I'm stuck here, in her body and does anybody care? No! Instead you have her join and block me out. I want my life back!" By this time Remy was just about knocked out, so he tried to charge her clothes. It wasn't a big bang, but enough to shove her back in the opposite direction. Just as she was away from him, Jean put a shield around Rogue and refused to let her out. She told Scott to go and get Betsy, that she was going to need her help with this. When Betsy finally arrived, her and Jean entered Rogue's mind and helped her block Carol back to the back of her mind. A barely clothed Rogue passed out immediately. Making sure that it wasn't a rouse they watched her for a few minutes and then carefully set her back on her cot.

A very tired Jean and Betsy left the room with Scott, while Logan and Remy stayed there with Rogue and Beast.

"What was dat all 'bout?" Logan just looked at him.

"What happened?"

"Found her passed out in da back of da class. Brought her here." Logan just grunted in response, then he left the room muttering something about ex-girlfriends. This completely shocked Remy, but then Beast sat down and explained to him about Carol. Sure he had done his research on this whole ordeal, but he had no idea that something like this could happen. It was like she was possessed. But this was definitely not the first time this had happened, and probably won't be the last. There was just no way to make peace with Carol. After being told that she wouldn't be up for another few hours, but that now she would be fine, he left and decided he needed time to let this soak in. His little mystery was starting to unravel, but only into another mystery. He could not understand how this one woman could hold his attention so much, especially after he really thought about her 'personal question' earlier.
