To every great story, there are people who have to just come in and fuck it up. THAT'S ME! Does victory dance

Disclaimer: I don't try to annoy people; they just try to annoy me.

FireOpalWaterOpal: as to your question on Ari…sorry for the confusion. Sometimes I forget that I'm trying to let others see into my mind. I have it all planed out and well…shrug things get forgotten. So here is your answer. Ari is a metaphysical being. A CONSIOUSNESS. The cloth is only a metaphor, that when Rouge put it on her, she enveloped her own mind with Ari. IF Rouge decides to reject her, she will become like another layer of skin and just peal off, like a bad sunburn.

Chapter 4

For the second time that day, Rouge slowly made her way back to consciousness. Beside her, the professor seemed to be awakening up as well.

"Ohhhhh KKKKK. No more chimichongs before bed." Rouge rubbed her head, trying to alleviate the stretched feeling inside her skull.

"I don't think it was the Chimichongs." Professor replied.

Slowly and with care Rouge got out of the medical bed, stretching she started to feel a little more like herself.

"So what happened?" Rouge asked, "She must have talked to you telepathically otherwise I would have heard the conversation."

"She needed a location and information pertaining to Apocalypse. And since it was easer to just project instead of tell…there you go." The professor wheeled his chair over to the large window in the room. The main source of light during the day, it was large and was almost constantly open to let the fresh air dissipate the anesthetic smell.

"Why would she want that?"

"She has a history. What it is, I can only imagine. But apparently she has been looking for him for a long time."

There are memories here if you wish to view them, they might help enlighten.

It was a soft voice, soothing and a little lilting in quality. It spoke tentively, not sure of its own welcome.

Rouge started slightly, not expecting to have another voice in her head. But this one was different. Soothing and soft, it held its own. It wasn't trying to take over her mind with its own, and it was a comforting presence to boot. Tentivly Rouge thought back.

Memories?

Yes. The one you call Gen, placed certain memories cells within my make up. She wanted some answers available for you if she was not here. Do you wish to view them?

Rouge looked over at the professor.

"Um Professor, Ari has some memories she wants to show us. Something pertaining to Gen and her search for Apocalypse."

"Would she be willing to let me look in as well?"

Rouge pauses, looking within her self for a moment. "She says she would be honored."

"Then lets see what answers are forthcoming."

Both get comfy again, Charles by wheeling back to the bed and Rouge, with a dirty look to said bed, sat on it once again. Closing her eyes she lets Ari take both her and Charles into itself and the store of knowledge it possesses.

This is going to be a little…disturbing for the both of you and I am sorry for that, but to get to the memories, we have to sift down to the beginning, once I start, I will not be able to stop the memories. I'll try and let you know what's happening and why, but for the most part, you have to watch and see.

If you are both ready? Good, lets see what I can show you.

It felt like a free fall for a moment, almost as if wind was rushing over Rouge's body, but she had no body, no corporeal form. For a moment she started to panic, then she felt the professor beside her, with her. He wasn't scared or even concerned with this lack of body issue.

Coming to a halt, they saw torches and a tent made of hide. Pillows were strewn around and brazers sat around the tent giving off both more light and heat.

In the middle of the tent, a woman was in labor, a man stood beside her with a dark look on his face. Between her bent knees was a shaman looking man and a midwife stood close, a bowl of steaming water in her hands and cloths over her arms.

"Where are we?" Rouge asked.

You are witnessing the beginning of a legend. And the fulfilling of a prophecy.

Chapter four is done so what do you think? I need reviews to see what you all like and dislike so even if its anonyms, tell me.

As an aside note, the next chapter is going to be full memorie, with a little commentary from Ari, you will not hear from Rouge or Charles, you are basicly going to be as they are, watching(or in this case reading)

Hope you like!

Love and kisses XOXOXOXOXOX
