Arg, I just thought of another thing for this story. I am probably going to be killed for it, but it will work nicely with this story. Though it does make the story more dramatic.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, as usual.
She opened her eyes slightly to see the lights from the ceiling shining down at her. She blinked a few times before looking around. She found herself in the med lab with a IV stuck in her arm. To her side was Remy standing there smiling at her.
"Nice nap?" He asked her. She smiled back at him.
'Ya know Ah did.' She wanted to tell him, but since the Professor, Scott, and Logan were all in the room so she stayed quiet.
"Ya alright darlin?" Logan asked her, he was sitting in a chair at the foot of her bed.
Rogue began to sit up from the bed slowly, her body ached badly. "Ya Ah'm alright." She answered him. Logan sighed in relief.
"What happened in there? Chuck said you were able to beat her by yourself." Logan asked as he got up from his chair to stand beside her bed, moving in Remy's spot.
Rogue saw Remy looked annoyed at Logan, but moved to a different side so he could watch Rogue. "Ah guess Carol underestimated meh." Rogue answered to him. She knew he would think she was crazy if she answered that her guardian devil helped her.
Rogue finally got a good look at the room and to her surprise there were flowers on the stand next to her. Behind Logan and Remy floated a balloon that said 'Get Well Soon' on it. "I had checked Carol's files and discovered that she was David's cousin, I had no idea. I am dearly sorry Rogue." The Professor apologized to her.
"It's alright, it's in the past." She told the Professor, who gave her a small smile and nodded his head.
"So Chuck now what are we goin to do with her?" Logan motioned to Carol. Rogue looked at Carol's lifeless body that laid on the bed.
"There is a chance she could wake up, but it is unlikely." The Professor half answered Logan. "She still has a heartbeat, but since her powers seem to be gone. We could send her to the hospital for treatment, since they would never know she was a mutant." The Professor said.
"By the way Rogue, there was a practice session in the Danger Room in a few days, but you are excused from it for a while." Scott told her, his sunglasses pushed up as far as they could go with his hands behind his back.
"What and miss all the fun?" Rogue asked him. "Ah'll be fine enough for practice." She told Scott, who raised a eyebrow at her.
"Are you sure? You don't need to go if your not feeling up for it." Scott tried to persuade her to not go, but she only shook her head in response.
"Ah already told ya, Ah'm fine." Rogue said, crossing her arms over her chest. She didn't want special treatment just because of what had happened. Besides it would be fun to show off her new powers and test them. She swore if Scott said one more word about her not having to go for practice she would try her new powers out on him.
Scott was about to protest again, when Logan waved his hand in front of Scott. "She said she is fine, so she is fine." Logan said with a hint of a anger at Scott. "I'll be teachin the lessons this week, meanin ya better be up for it. If not your comin back in here and no sessions for a month." Logan said, surprised she began to protest.
Most of the students hated the Danger Room sessions, but for Rogue it had always been a chance to be around people when everyone ignored her. Even then when they didn't speak it was nice to be around people. Although lately, she hasn't had that problem with being lonely. She took a quick glance over at Remy, who was still watching over her protectively.
"Fine, but ya'll see Ah'll be fine." Rogue told Logan as she laid back down in the medical bed.
"I have to go contact Storm, she should be coming home anytime now." The Professor said as he wheeled himself out of the med lab, followed by Scott, who had to go work on his lessons for his next class.
Logan stayed behind. He sat at the foot of the bed. "Ya sure your okay?" He asked her again, the fatherly instincts taking over again.
"Ah'm fine, stop worrin." She told him. She gave him a reassuring smile.
"I was just worried about ya darlin, I swear though if she had done anything to ya I would of shredded her body." Logan threatened.
"She didn't know how ta let go of her past and Ah guess it just ate away at her. She blamed meh for ruinin her life, but she never moved on and tried ta make her life better." Rogue said to Logan.
Logan smiled proudly down at her and was about to say something when there was a knock at the door. They both turned to see Kitty, Piotr, Betsy, and Warren standing at the door. "What do you want?" Logan snarled at them all.
"We came to talk to Rogue." Warren said quietly, a bit wary by Wolverine, who stared at them all intensely.
"Why? So you can make her life even more miserable?" Logan questioned as he stood up. Rogue looked down at her hands, not wanting to make eye contact with them.
"No, we came to apologize for being a bunch of assholes." Kitty answered Logan, who looked surprised at her. He hadn't expected that they would come to apologize.
Rogue looked up at them. Logan had let them into the room, but kept his eyes on all of them. If they said the wrong thing, they would be out the door. Remy stared at them in equal question as they stood around the foot of her bed.
"We are sorry for ignoring your and believing Carol." Betsy began to say. Rogue still didn't look up at them, they had ignored her because of a rumor and now are only apologizing out of guilt.
"It's alright." Rogue answered to them. "Ya didn't know what she was up ta. Ah don't blame ya." She answered them.
"We want to make it up to you, we should of been smart enough to see past her words." Piotr began to say, Rogue finally looked up to see the Russian speak.
"Ah already told ya, it's alright." Rogue said again, getting a bit annoyed with them apologizing. Remy heard the annoyed tone in Rogue's voice.
"No it isn't." Kitty began to say. She stepped over to the other side of the bed, opposite of Remy's side. "Jubilee was right, you never did cause any harm to any of us and all we did was ignore you. All of us were the biggest idiots for believing what Carol had said after a week of being at the mansion." Kitty said to Rogue.
"We don't just want to make it up to you, we want to get to know you." Betsy said to Rogue as she came to the other side of the bed and stood next to Remy without even knowing it. "I never got a chance to since I had been here. Please give me this chance to know you." Betsy said to Rogue.
"I swear if we ever do anything like that again, I want Logan to run me through with his claws." Kitty said to Rogue, who gave a small laugh. Logan looked more interested now in what Kitty had said.
"It's not much, but we got you something." Warren said as Piotr left the room and went into the hallway. A few seconds later he returned with a giant Teddy Bear that held a 'Get Well' sign in it's hands.
Rogue's smile widen when she saw the bear as Piotr placed it on her bed. "We all made this card for you." Piotr told her. Rogue took the card from the bear's hands and began to read it.
"Rogue, I am so sorry for the way we have treated you. It was horrible and no one ever deserves to be treated that way. I think I speak for everyone when I say I want to make it up to you. Hope you get better, Sam Gurthie." She smiled and moved onto the next note on the card.
"Rogue, ever since our first encounter I knew you were something special. I have kept you in my prayers ever since that you would have a enjoyable life, unfortunately that hasn't happened. Despite of that you have always shown great strength. I feel so honored to of met you. Kurt"
"Rogue, I have known you for quite sometime and you still surprise me everyday. I always believe there is someone that watches over us, a guardian angel you could call it. I am glad they were able to keep you safe, when everyone had turned their backs on you. May they always protect you from any harm that you encounter, Professor Charles Xavier." Rogue's eyes went wide when she read that.
Remy was looking down at the same thing Rogue had been reading. "Dere is no way he could know." Remy spoke what Rogue was thinking.
"Everyone in the mansion signed it." Warren told Rogue, who looked up from the card and smiled at the four people, her eyes watery.
"Thanks." She said to them. "This means a lot ta me." She said wiping her eyes as she felt tears coming.
"We mean every word on it." Kitty said to Rogue with a smile. Rogue was about to say something when they heard screaming down the hall.
"WAIT, WE DIDN'T GIVE HER OUR CARD!" Everyone heard two voices yelling and then soon enough Jamie and Rahne ran into the room.
"Sorry, they didn't tell us they were giving it to you now." Jamie said, glaring at the older kids. He handed Rogue a card that he and Rahne had made.
"Aw, thank you." She thanked them, they both had smiles on their faces, pleased with themselves.
"Also I got you these!" Rahne said as she handed Rogue some flowers. Rogue smiled and took the flower and smelled them.
"Ugh, Rahne where did you get those?" Kitty asked as she looked at the flowers that looked familiar.
"From Miss. Munroe's loft." Rahne answered innocently. Everyone in the room's eyes went wide, even Logan.
"She ain't gonna be happy when she finds you took them." Logan whispered.
"We are going to get blamed again for this." Betsy said, they had tried blaming the kids earlier for something they did, now anything the kids had done was blamed on them.
"I'm sure she won't mind when she finds out who they are for." Jamie said to them all.
"Thank ya both so much." Rogue said to them. Rahne and Jamie both smiled at her.
'Everyone, Storm is back with the student. Please come up and welcome them in.' They all heard the Professor's voice say to them all. 'I shall send them down to meet Rogue and Bobby later, right now they need their rest.' The Professor added in.
"Alright, take care Miss. Rogue." Rahne and Jamie said in unison as they went for the door to leave.
"Bye Rogue, we'll come back and visit." Kitty said to Rogue. "Also I gotta take you to the mall, there are so many shops there that are like so cool and Pete nor Betsy will go with me. They have no style." Kitty added in, getting a dirty look from Betsy. Kitty then left the room.
"If you need anything, just call I shall bring it for you." Piotr said with a bow of his head and followed after his girlfriend.
"Same here, we'll be back later to check on you and talk to you. Drake isn't much company." Warren said as he glanced over at Bobby. Rogue smiled at both Betsy and Warren, who had his arm across his girlfriend's shoulder. The both of them left together.
"Take care darlin, I'll be back after I greet the other rugrat that has come." Logan told Rogue, who nodded. He was about to leave when Rogue stopped him.
"Logan." She said, he turned around to look at her. "Thanks for carin about meh." She said to him. He gave a small smile at her before leaving.
"Finally alone." Remy said, Rogue smiled at looked over at Remy. She was about to speak with him when they both heard a noise from the bed next to her.
"How long have I been out?" Bobby asked as he ran a hand through his hair. He turned to see Rogue sitting in her bed. "How did we get in here?" He asked Rogue.
"Carol beat ya up pretty bad and she absorbed herself inta meh." Rogue told him, he didn't look surprised.
"She was one cracked up chick." Bobby muttered as he tried to sit up, after learning that wasn't such a good idea he sat back down. He turned his head to Rogue. "Listen, I am sorry for being such a ass over the past few months." He told her, really regretting that he had hurt her.
"It's alright." She told him with a warm smile, he smiled back at her. "What happened between you two anyways?" She asked him, Bobby raised a hand to his forehead.
"She wanted me to take her to the dance. I told her no and she got mad." Bobby answered her. Rogue shook her head.
"That's a stupid reason ta beat up someone." Rogue commented. Bobby shook his head agreeing.
"I told her I wanted to go with someone else, but then she got pissed, punched me and kicked me and then I blacked out." He told her. "That reminds me, there is something I wanted to talk to you back. Well not right now." He said with a yawn. "But later." He said as he leaned his head back into the pillow and closed his eyes.
"Anyone else around 'ere?" Remy asked as he looked around. "Remy swear, if Carol now gets up and starts talkin he is goin to go insane." He said, making Rogue laugh a bit.
"Ah think she is out pretty good sugah." Rogue said to him quietly. "Thanks so much Remy, I could never of done any of it without you." She said to him, looking up into his gorgeous red on black eyes.
The grin that she had seen him wear so many times appeared on his face. "No problem, mon amour." He told her as he places his hand on her IV arm, but it passes through. They both frown at the sight of it. "Just when Gambit was gettin' use to touchin again, it's gone." He sighs in disappointment.
"It's alright, Ah'm sure we can find a way around it." She says to him.
"Gambit hopes so." He replies, but looks a bit doubtful. 'Unless Jeannie, be super nice and give Gambit a body.' He thought to himself, his answer came soon.
'I don't think so Remy, sorry.' He hears Jean respond to him in his head.
"Ah love ya Remy, no one could ever replace ya." She tells him, making his smile return to his face.
"Same 'ere, chere. Remy will never love another woman as much as he loves you." He told her as she smiles up at him. She leans back into her pillow to get some rest.
Remy watches over her protectively as she closes her eyes and goes to sleep.
