Chapter 20: Ah Have The Power

Remy watched as the staff and older students entered the room. Kitty and Kurt had come in too and the Professor hadn't the heart to tell them to leave.

"Are you ready Rogue?" Professor Xavior asked the girl below.

"Ya sure about this Chuck" Logan said with concern across his brow.

"We've tried everything Logan, you know that" Ororo tried to comfort him "No harm will come to her".

Remy watched the adult's debate about the plan, the plan which they had been over many times but still made no sense to him.

'Somthin bout shes been playn defense all her life' He pondered 'And if she faces dis fing den maybe…nope makes no sense t' Remy, dis cant be safe'.

"I assure you Mr. LeBeau that we will not let any harm come to her, and Hank is standing by to be sure".

Remy glanced up at him then turned his focus back to Rogue.

"But what if ah hurt ya'll? Or if ah'm not strong enough to…"

"We are all safe here from anything that you can throw at us, and if need be we will stop the whole thing" She didn't look anymore sure "And we all have complete faith in you"

Rogue nodded and they watched as she closed her eyes so she could focus on lowering her mental wall.

The younger students gasped as they saw her eyes, which were not her own, and she was lifted into the air involuntarily and with a flash of lightening, it had begun.

She could see her friends, even hear them but she still could not stop the rush of power that she was sending up at the control room. So many voices filled her mind, angry scared and powerful voices. Memories and dreams flashed before her and she no longer knew what she was fighting, blinded by the power surging through her.

The memories began to slow down, she saw them clearly and had time to recognize each one before it faded into the next. Scott's car crash, Kurt finding out he was adopted, the day Evan discovered his powers, Cody in a coma and Mystiques betrayal. Then she realized that she was beginning to see her own memories and her life literally flashed before her eyes.

Kitty clung to Kurt and he held her as they watched their friend become surrounded by smoke and fog and fire. Remy was standing on edge watching the Professor, as if waiting for him to give the signal to get her out of there. Wolverine was gone. He had left to stand ready by the door along with Hank to come to her aid.

"Prof?"

"Not yet Remy, she can do this" Remy went back to watching the struggling girl.

Kitty gasped and they saw that she had fallen to her knees, and the powers were starting to die down as it looked like she was about to loose consciousness.

"Now Remy!" The Professor said urgently and Remy rushed to the staircase when Kurt grabbed his shoulder.

"Vait!" And he pointed through the glass, and the surge of confusion and power had disappeared and Rogue was standing grinning.

"Did she do it?" Ororo asked no one on particular.

As they watched her standing triumphant, they saw a long green tongue slide itself across her teeth, and then was gone.

"Ewwww" Chorused Kitty and Kurt together.

Remy laughed "Dat's my girl".

"Congratulations Rogue" said the Professor "You did something amazing today".

"Does this mean…ah can touch?" Rogue asked slowly, not getting her hopes up.

The Professor smiled "See for yourself" And as he said it the door opened and Remy came charging in.

Rogue stopped him and took off one of her gloves and placed her pale hand tentatively on Remy's cheek, before she leaned in kissing him passionately.

She pulled back from him and they turned around and behind them was a group of smiling faces along with Hank dragging away a growling Wolverine.

Rogue was still grinning from what had just happened, but when she sobered slightly and turned to the Professor.

"How did ya know?"

"You have a lot of painful memories, which gave the Psyches power over you, something for them to feed off, but when you accepted your past you regained control over your life"

"And mah powers" She muttered.

"Rogue!" Kitty ran and embraced her, followed by Kurt, then Ororo and the list goes on until she could finally retreat to her room to rest.
