10 year previous:

Rogue walked the streets of New Orleans hoping to find a certain Cajun she knew. Unfortunately for her another native recognized her first.

"Josh, y' see dat girl?" Julian Beautrix asked pointing out Rogue. "Oui Julian, belle femme. What 'bout 'er?" Josh asked in response. "Dat's de girl Le Beau used t' help rescue Jean-Luc." "Oh, What are we gunna do about 'er?" Josh asked curiously. "I'm gunna rally de guys, and ruff 'er up a bit, I want y' t' 'save' her. Make her gain y' trust. Lead her away from de city." Julian said. "Smart. Keep her away from LeBeau?" Josh asked. "Of course. De boy has feelings for her." Julians plan played out flawlessly.

Rogue tossed and turned in her bed trying to make the memories stop. But they didn't, they continued onto more painful memories.

"Y' bitch! Stay in dis house or y' wont just have me hittin' y'. I'll let de whole assassins guild take a swing at y'." Josh said throwing Rogue onto the floor roughly. Rogue glared at him but didn't say anything. "That's righ. Y' now know y' place. Stay dere." Josh ordered walking back outside to continue working. Once Rogue was sure he was out of sight she ran over to the computer to e-mail Wanda.

"When dese crying brats grow up some more dey'll be de best assassins dis guild has ever see. Trained by Julian himself along wit' de beautiful Belladonna." Josh said looking at Jason and Katerinia as they cried for their bottles. "Josh please just let us go. We haven' done anythin' ta ya." Rogue pleaded."That's where y' wrong. Dis is all y' fault. It was y' savin' Jean-Luc dat got y' int' dis mess and when de time is right, we gunna use y' t' lure LeBeau back down sout'." Josh said. Rogue kept her mouth shut hoping to see if they'd leave Remy alone if they thought she didn't care about him anymore.

"Come on, come on pick up!" Rogue said quietly. She held the cordless phone to her ear and hid in a closet. It was close to 2 am and Josh was drunk enough to believe that Rogue was going to order a pizza.

"Hello"? Came the gruff voice of Logan.

"Logan, it's Rogue." Before she could continue the closet door opened and Josh stood there angrily.

"Who the heck do y' think y' callin'? Give me dat phone right now!" Josh ordered snatching up the phone.

"Stripes, whats going on?" Logan asked.

"One of your X-men friends no doubt. Listen here Monsieur, she be drunk an' don' know what's goin' on. Sorry she bothered y'." Josh said before hanging up the phone.

That got Rogue the worst of it all, that's when they made her absorb Carol Danvers for going against the assassins.

"Were sorry ma'am your boyfriend died trying to rob a bank." Two cops said with regret in their voice. "Ah'm free. No more abuse. Please ya have ta help meh. There keepin' meh hostage here have been for nine years. Ah jus' want ta get away. Can ya just pretend ta arrest meh and take the kids with ya?" Rogue pleaded. "We'd have t' check wit' de police chief." The senior of the two said as the other phoned in.

The other man nodded, "We'll 'impound' y' car also." He said with a smile. The senior cop turned to Rogue, "Where are your children?" "Back room. Ah'll show ya." Rogue led them to the twin's room.

She packed clothes and a few toys while the junior officer woke them up.

Finally Rogue was free from the guild and Josh and his abuse.

Rogue awoke when she felt someone place their hand on her forehead. "Chere? Y' okay?" Remy asked when he saw that she was awake. "Ah am now." Rogue said upon seeing her surroundings."Y' want t' talk about it?" Remy asked softly. "Ah went down ta New Orleans ta find ya. Julian found meh first and recognized meh." Rogue said. "Chere, Remy's sorry. If y' didn' come lookin' fo' me y' wouldn' of been hurt." Remy said. "How did y' get in here?" Rogue asked. Remy chuckled softly. "Y ask dat question of a trained thief?" Remy said softly. They talked for the rest of the night in the living room.

Please tell me what you think. That explains the New Orleans accents I hope.
