Chapter 6 Arriving Too Late
The X-men stepped out of the jet and found the brotherhood home in a pile of rubble "Look!" Jean yelled. It was Remy; Logan went up to him and woke him up "Where is Rogue?" He asked.
"I…I don't know Wanda knocked me out and transported her and Rogue somewhere" Remy said. "What now chuck?" Logan asked.
"I'm not sure, I can't get a response from her" Xavier said. "Wait, here" Remy said. He handed Logan his GPS, "My location is linked to Rogue's" Remy said.
They helped Remy into the jet, and then landed the x-jet on the mountaintop. "Okay we have a lot of ground to cover so split up" Scott said.
Even Remy moved quickly to find Rogue, they all called her name but she didn't answer.
All hope was beginning to fade until, "Down here!" Jean shouted. They followed Jean down the step slope of the mountain.
There in a creek lay Rogue's lifeless body, her clothes were torn her face was pale and many injuries could be seen.
Kitty's eyes welled up with tears. Remy ran up to Rogue and checked for a pulse.
It was faint, but she still had a chance he loaded her into the jet and held her as Logan flew towards the Institution.
Everyone watched as Remy stroked Rogue's hair, "Please don't leave me" He whispered. He squeezed her hand not wanting to let go; he felt Scott's hand on his shoulder and faked a smile.
Logan landed the jet, and then he took Rogue and hooked her up to the machine in the recovery room.
Everyone, including Remy was told to wait while Xavier looked her over hours seemed to pass and nobody said a word.
"I feel so horrible, about judging her," Kitty said. "It will be alright," Kurt said hugging Kitty. "Scott, she's going to make it right?" Jean asked. "If there's one thing I know, its that Rogue can pull through anything" Scott said.
They waited for a long time, but Remy seemed to be the most worried finally Xavier came out.
"How is she?" Remy asked. "Well, she's been shot through the right chest, her left arm is broken, and she has lost a lot of blood. She broke three ribs from her fall and she has minor bruising to the head and I'm afraid she's in a coma" Xavier said.
"For how long?" Kitty asked. "It's hard to say, days weeks months even years" Xavier said. "Will she be okay?" Jean asked. "I…I'm afraid that if she doesn't wake up soon, she may die" Xavier said.
"But she will wake up right?" Kitty asked. He didn't answer, Kitty cried in Kurt's arms, and Jean broke down in Scotts. Logan snarled as he punched the wall. "Where are you going Logan?" Xavier asked. "A ride" Logan said.
He took off, "Can I see her?" Remy said. The professor nodded and Remy walked in, he sat down beside Rogue. He took her hand and held it as he kissed her forehead "Your so beautiful, how could I let this happen to you?" Remy said softly. The machine beeped slowly. He rested his head upon her shoulder and drifted to sleep while holding her hand not wanting to leave her again.
