I don't own Transister's "Flow"
~*****************************~
Rogue's body drifted in her tank, lacking movement. A million thoughts swirled inside her head as she drifted, drifting to nowhere. Traces of a familiar song echoed through her mind, giving her the company she wanted. The songs words are her thoughts intermingled, causing dreams...
//I'm always swimming,
Against, the flow of
the tide....//
Her mind flashed back to a slew of her early memories of her life before the Brotherhood, before the X-men. The early days when she struggled against the odds. She remembered running away and living on the streets.
//Kissing the life
into something,
that's already died...//
Her old life before she tan away entered her mind. A life that was so normal. Beautiful fields of flowers and her home in the middle. Rogue remembered that home, and a beautiful woman she believed to be her mother. She inwardly frowned.
-Mystique isn't the mother ah've always pictured her ta be-
//I-'ve been drowning
forever, I-let go.
I- dive into, the
river and flow.....//
Her heart started to beat harder and her tears intermingled with the water of her tank. Her life had always been about betrayal. First her mother, trying to kill her and then Pietro, her friend, leaving her twice for his own selfish ambitions. There was a time in her life where she fought against it, the feelings. Now, she just went along with whatever happened.
-Ah should have stayed emotionless, that was the best way... Ah'll never be like everyone else-
//You said that you
could hear bells
in traffic below...//
All the lies and excuses she was given for being cast aside. Brushed off. They hurt, and Rogue cursed herself for her weakness. She cursed herself for believing in them, in anyone.
//I could hear
sirens, car
engines fighting
the snow.....//
It took awhile for Rogue to truly see what was going on. She was nothing to them. She was nothing to Mystique, nothing to Pietro, nothing to anyone.
//I-'ve been drowning
forever, I-let go.
I- dive into, the
river and flow.....//
This where the reasons why Rogue hid her face behind neatly painted make up. It kept on a mask. It kept her from getting hurt. But unfortunately, not always.
//Flow.......//
Her mind drifted to the club. That night when her Pietro danced. She remembered entrancing him. The both of them dancing close. The safety she felt when she danced with him.
//I-'ve been drowning
forever, I-let go.
I- dive into, the
river and flow.....//
But then, she remembered the pain, the hurt and the disgust she felt when he denied having feelings for her. Her heart raged in her chest and she felt as if she where going to burst.....
//I-'ve been drowning
forever, I-let go.
I- dive into, the
river and flow.....//
She mentally screamed out in pain. Rogue dared not open her mouth for fear she would drown. A burning rage went through her body, feeling as if her limbs where being dismembered.....then an image flashed in her mind.
//Flow.......//
-Mah friends....-
//Flow.......//
-Scott, Kurt, kitty and Spyke, even Jean-
Their faces appeared to her. One by one.
//Flow.......//
Her eyes opened and suddenly, she let it all go. Pietro, Mystique, magneto, she let it ALL go. She smiled at the new feeling of stability. She was now ready to live her life the way she wanted to. She looked around the tank. The water was so clear and pure. A new confidence entered.
-They will came for mae-
//Flow.......//
A crack went up the front of her chamber and the water rushed out, taking Rogue by surprise. After she got adjusted to her surroundings, she looked up to see everyone there.
//Flow.......//
"Hey Rogue, you alright?"
Scott placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him. His eyes where sympathetic. Rogue steadied and narrowed her eyes.
//Flow.......//
"Yeah. Ah'm perfectly fine."
She brushed past him and headed for the hallway, ready to fight to get out. The ending music played out in her head.
-Ah am Rogue the X-man and Ah rely only on mahself and mah teamates-
Jean watched Rogue walk up the ramp and out of sight. She motioned for everyone to follow the path so they could all leave. A slight smile appeared on her face.
"Let it flow girl."
