It was a beautiful summer evening at the Xavier School for the gifted. The sun was just setting, on the second floor balcony over looking the city. Rogue in a long sleeve green top and brown cargo pants stands there staring out at the sunset, which the reds, oranges, and yellows seem to blend into the horizon.
"How long were you there, Professor?" Rogue turns her head slightly enough that she can barely can see over her shoulder. "Long enough to realize some things wrong" the Professor Xavier rolls onto the balcony right next to Rogue.
"Its….its nothing, Professor, just wondering what if that's all." She slowly looks towards the Professor. "I can still feel his lips against my own. How I told him that we'd travel to New York to see the statue, its just weird how I can still hear him."
The Professor brings his hand together as if to ponder something "I see, you can't shake that out of your mind, can you?"
The sun finally sets and the stars begin to pop out like a fire fly in the middle of a meadow. "Rogue you mustn't let this rattle you like this" The Professor turns his chair.
"You don't understand, I could touch him and nothing would happen. I was actual able to show the physical part of love to someone without….hurting them and now…he's gone." Rogue drops to her knees crying wrapping her arms around the professor.
"Don't worry, Rogue everything will be O.K. This will make you stronger but sometimes it's alright to have a good cry."
Mouth Early…..
It was a bright starry night on the outskirts of the city. It was anything but quite, the air being filled with cries of help and a short burst of gunfire. A man wearing a pair of goggles on the top of his head and his outfit consists of red muscle shirt and blue bell-bottom jeans with stars going up the sided of one pant leg, along with a small black backpack. He ran among the trees for hours trying to get away. Men wearing purple and gray outfits with the letters S.R.P patched across their chests. Just as he jumped a small fallen tree, a bullet hits him in the shoulder causing him to fall down a hill.
"I think I got him", one of the soldiers stops and points. The other soldier speaks into the radio on his shoulder
"Alpha zero reporting target has been wounded, proceeding to acquire target". The soldier points in the opposite soldier to start heading another direction as he heads towards the fallen tree. Behind a tree, the boy hides trying not to scream out in pain from the bullet that just went thought his left shoulder. In the distance, he can see a mansion with its lights on. Just all of sudden a deer runs across his field of view, getting the two soldiers attention
"Look, he's running for it", the soldiers start running after the deer. "Now's my chance", he gets up and starts running for the mansion holding his shoulder. As he reached the bottom of the hill, he sees the huge brick wall and Iron Gate.
"No, not now, I made it this far I can't let them catch me." The front gate begins to open and a car is pulling out. Seeing this he ducks behind a bush nearby. Just as the car pulls away, the gate begins to close. He runs and dives for it just beating the gate, this time landing on his shoulder letting out a small yep in pain. He gets up a little slower than before, the pain is almost blinding and the lost of blood is slowly weakling him as he struggles to reach the door. As he finally reaches the door, he leans against it letting his head fly back hitting the glass. Blood not only dripping from his shoulder but the back of his head and his hands, with his back against the door he reaches for the door bell with his right hand. From inside you hear voices.
"I'll get it." Rogue opens the door and the strange boy comes tumbling in ripping her white shirt and gloves off while somehow landing on her legs. Rogue screams from the sudden scare. Logan accompanied by Storm rush in to the foray .
"What's wrong child, what happen?" Storm kneels next to them in her white dress careful not to get it bloody. "Rogue, are your alright?" Storm looks at Rogue but she does not respond, Storm begins to reach for her shoulder but notices that her glove and right sleeve to her shirt, was ripped somehow. "Rogue, don't worry. Not one part of your body is touching him. Logan come over here and pick up the boy."
Storm waves Logan over. Logan shuts the door, begins to pick up the boy, and gives a slight groan. "Storm, this boy has a slug in his shoulder. You think he's a banger?" Logan starts to head towards to the medical room at the end of the hallway.
"I don't know, Logan but what ever he is he's losing a lot of blood. Rogue are you alright child?" Storm begins to help up Rogue.
As she helps up Rogue, the Professor rolls in with Scott "Storm what happened, I hear Rogue scream. Why is she all bloody?" Scott begins to walk over to Rogue but is stop by the Professor
"Scott go to the medicinal room Logan needs your help restraining a boy. Storm take Rogue their also so she can get checked out" Scott rush off while Storm, Rogue and the Professor are right behind him.
In the medical room, you see the boy fighting Logan's hold on him. Hank tries to get close but the boy kicks him away. Scott rushes in seeing this and tries to grab his legs. Instead is kick in the face, sending him bumping into Logan loosing his grip just effect that the boy gets his arm free and punches Logan in the balls. This sends him keeling over grabbing himself in pain. The boy rolls of the table and into a corner. Grabbing his bag, he gets a surgical knife out of it and starts swinging it around. Logan and Scott start coming to their feet, "Just calm down man, we're not going to hurt you." Scott moves forward just a little before being stop by the Professor
"Scott wait", the Professor slowly comes toward the boy who has become more frantic by every inch gained by the Professor.
"Get back I mean it!" It seems as if he was losing all energy as he slowly started to settle down and fall to the floor.
"Hurry, get him on the table." The Professor stops.
"He passed out from excursion." Hank places a blood pressure machine on the boy's arm.
