Prologue: Setting Sun

Rogue watched the cars flash passed and the mundane country side become more suburban. She leaned her head against the glass as the road had gotten more smooth a little while back. She sighed.

"You do realise this is for your own good don't you Anna?" Rogue winced at the use of her given name.

She didn't reply.

"Anna-Marie if you stirred up any more trouble your mother wouldn't have been able to cover you! She was kind enough to just relocate you without any additional punishment. This is your chance for a new start."

"Ah know Aunt Irene... Ah know," Rogue said without turning her head.

They drove on in silence, both on poorer terms with each other than was normal. Rogue watched the trees flash passed, silhouetted against the dying sun. Gazing at it blinded her without remorse but it was just too beautiful to look away. Her former life was setting with that burning globe. When the new sun rose tomorrow there would be new places, new people to contend with, new problems. There was nothing to convince Rogue that this "new start" wouldn't be just as stressful, diminishing and painful as the last one.

Yes, it is about the shortest chapter in history but I just wanted to get something posted! Rogue isn't moving to Bayville and there's no institute but there're all (or most) of the x-men there anyway. And of course there is Remy. Oh yes and Rogue has control over her powers or marginal control at least. Just to be different .

Now plz hit the li'l button on the bottom left corner of your screen. Do you like it, is it crap, is it too short to comment on? Whatever the case, I don't really know any of the details concerning the plot, only some general ideas. Teenage Ororo is gonna play a big part in this. Ideas are good ppl and will be greatly appreciated! Promise the rest of the chapters will be a LOT longer!
