Thanks for the reviews I promise I will put them on the next storyXxX

Those We Dare To Touch

Rogue opened her emerald eyes and looked around her. She was lying on some grass, perfectly bottle green. She held her head and sat up. She was in a forest of some kind. The sin was gleaming bright and the wind was warm and moist. The trees around her were moving silently, making a beautiful noise.

"Where am ah?" she asked herself as she looked around.

"Marie?" said a voice. Rogue turned around to see a middle ages woman. She was very pretty, with long blonde hair, luscious red lips and beautiful blue eyes.

"Who are you?" asked Rogue. The woman smiled and put her hands on her hips.

"Now Marie, I have no time for your games, ya fathers waiting for you in the house." said the woman. Rogue looked at her confused.

"Look, who are you an' how do you know mah real name?" The woman sighed.

"Marie, please don't annoy me. Ya father needs you in the house, and I advise you to do so."

"Okay…" said Rogue freaked out. "What's your name?" The woman laughed.

"Pricilla, but to you it's mom." Rogue gasped.

"What the hell are you on about! Mah mama wo' called Mystique!" Rogue shouted.

"Darling are you okay?" asked Pricilla.

"No not really!" shouted Rogue. "Mastermind where are you? Ah know ya doin' this!" shouted Rogue to the sky. Pricilla started to laugh.

"And I thought you might of thought it was real, that's how dumb you are." said Pricilla.

"Mastermind." Rogue growled. "Why are ya toyin' with me, how can ya get pleasure outta that!"

"I don't know, it's just funny to mess around with people." said Mastermind. "Besides we're near enough to Apocalypse's vessel now. So I'm not gonna have that long. But ya see, Apocalypse only needs your life force, so it doesn't matter if your asleep or not, ya gonna die anyway, along with ya little friend Gambit."

"Son of a bitch!" shouted Rogue as she flung for him. Her fist went through the woman's body, and she shape shifted back into his real look. "Ya gonna pay fo' this!"

"Not if your dead." said Mastermind smiling. "How about I torment you some more huh?"

"Jus' leave me alone!" shouted Rogue. "Leave Gambit alone an' let us just wake up!"

"Sorry I can't do that, I'm enjoying this too much."

"Well that just shows ya heart is as black as coal!"

"So it is."

Remy looked around his surroundings, he was in the med lab. Beast had taken a look at him early and couldn't find any traces of abnormality. Remy looked nervously at Logan.

"So, how old d'ya think ya are?" Logan asked.

"I'm 15." replied Remy. Logan sighed, how could he loose all his memories, it wasn't possible.

"Don't you remember anything?" asked Logan.

"I remember hearing 'bout mah engagement t' Bella bein' in a week when we're both 16." said Remy. Logan looked confused and looked down to the floor.

"Where's Rogue when you need her." said Logan to himself. Remy immediately looked up when he heard the name.

"Who?" he asked. Logan looked up and folded his arms.

"Rogue…do you remember her?" Logan asked. Remy looked as though he wa sin deep thinking.

"I remember de name…but I can' place a face." said Remy. Logan smiled, wherever Rogue was she'd be pissed off when she got home.

Rogue opened her eyes again, but she didn't have enough time to look around as she started to fall. She screamed as she was fallen into a volcano, but she flew just above the opening.

The environment around her was pitch black, all that could be seen was the erupting of the volcano, which didn't seem to hurt Rogue.

She was placed on her feet and touched the lava, knowing it wouldn't harm her. She growled and looked around for Mastermind.

"Ya hidin' again!" she shouted. "Where in God's name am ah!"

"Your in another illusion Rogue, it's one of my favourites." said a voice, but there was no body to it, just the echoing sound of Mastermind's voice.

"An' why's that, the lava don' hurt me!" shouted Rogue.

"Ha ha, that's the ironic bit, this place is my favourite because you think nothing can hurt you, but in a matter of fact, it can and it will." explained Mastermind. Rogue gasped as the ground beneath her started to tumble. She screamed as she fell into the lava.

Rogue started to scream and scream and scream, until she realised she was on a floor. She slowly got up, to scared to look, but then she opened one eye, and when the fear went away she opened her other.

It was a white room, completely white with nothing in it except a T.V. Rogue slowly walked up to it, still being cautious. She reached for it and turned it on. She quickly moved her hand away as it came on, afraid it might do something.

Then, a picture of Remy came up. He looked troubled and uncomfortable.

"Gambit." she whispered with a slight tense of sadness in her voice.

Logan was walking back and forth, Rogue didn't know why. He also looked troubled. Remy though, was fiddling with his hands, Rogue wanted to know why he was so nervous.

"He has forgotten his memory." said a voice.

"Who said that." said Rogue as she looked around. Out of no where, a woman appeared. Rogue gasped as she noticed who the beautiful blonde was. She wore black leather pants which came just until her knees and had a stripes pattern on them. On top of halter less top she wore sleeveless leather with shoulder patches, leaving her arms bare.

"Remember me?" she asked.

"Ca…Ca…Carol Danvers." said a speechless Rogue. "But ah locked ya away, the Professor helped me!"

"I'm not here to hurt you Rogue, Mastermind thinks I will, but at the moment, only you can get us out of this trouble, because when you get hurt, I get hurt." explained Carol.

"Um…alright." said Rogue.

"Remy is forgetting his memory, and it won't stop, I don't know that if you save him and get him out of the illusion he will remember, but it's worth a shot. At the moment though, I need you to think about yourself."

"Why do you wan' me t' save Remy though?" asked Rogue. "Ah thought ya only wanted to save yourself."

"Look Rogue, there's something you have to understand about me. I see everything you do, and even though the Professor locked me away in here because I was tormenting you, doesn't mean I can't feel what you feel. Remy is sweet and kind, and boy is he hot. The fact is, I like him as much as you do, and we both know that's more than a friend." explained Carol. Rogue smiled and blushed at the same time.

"Why the sudden change o' heart? Ah thought ya wanted t' take over?" asked Rogue.

"I do, and I will never forgive you for what you've done, but only you can get us out of the hands of Mastermind."

"Okay, so what do ah do?" asked Rogue.

"You need to fight him." said Carol.

"Fight him? Why that's the dumbest thang ah've ever heard! How can ah fight an illusion?"

"You can't, which is where I come in."

"Ah don' think ah like the sound of that." said Rogue. "Remember, ya tried t' drive me t' insanity t' kill mahself, an' when ya found out that you could take control, ya tried t' lock me away!"

"I know we have a past Rogue, but can you blame me? You took my life away, everything I ever loved, I ever worked for went away the moment we laid eyes on one another." explained Carol. "I know you can't trust me, but you have to believe me when I tell you that you are the only person that can destroy this illusion."

"So this place is an illusion?" asked Rogue.

"No Rogue, this is your mind, this is where I was locked away. Outside this room, is your actual mind which has been filled with illusions. I luckily was able to get you in here."

"So, ah guess ah'm gonna have t' hear where ya come into all o' this." said Rogue.

"I need you to break the barrier of all the psyches you've ever absorbed."

"What, that's the second dumbest thang that's came outta ya mouth! Ya feelin' okay gal?" asked Rogue sarcastically.

"Well after being stuck in this room for three years I must say no." said Carol. "I know it's a risk, but I will protect you. If you over power your mind with the psyches and I can get them to fight the illusion, you have time to absorb the psych of the Professor, and help the fight."

"But what about Remy?" asked Rogue.

"Once your back in the real word, you can use the professor's powers and go into Remy's mind. If course your going to have to kick the shit out of Mastermind first."

"But if ah knock Mastermind out in the real world, won' Remy wake up?"

"No, and you need him to remember who he is. That's why you need to absorb the Professor Psyche." said Carol. "It's the only way to save Remy."

"Ya got this all planned out huh?" asked Rogue Carol smiled at her. "But won' you drag me back into mah mind once ah've saved Remy an' try to take over? T' get outta this room ah gotta bust the room and you'll escape. An' once you help open the barrier, you'll attack me."

"Rogue, I won't, I promise. I know there is an Apocalypse on our hand. But one day, I will, and till that day, let's just work together." said Carol. She put her hand out. Rogue studied it for a second and then smiled. She reached out for her gloved hand and shook it.

Remy was still looking at the floor, wondering and thinking. Where was he and why couldn't her remember?

"Emeralds." said Remy. Logan snapped out of is daydream and looked up at Remy's back. He walked over to the front of him and looked at him questionably.

"Say that again?" asked Logan.

"Emeralds." said Remy again, staring at the same object and not looking Logan's way.

"What about them?" asked Logan again. Remy finally looked at him.

"Dat gal…Rogue, I remember sometin' 'bout emeralds…why, why does Remy remember dat?"

"Well…you ur…you used to say Rogue's eyes were like emeralds, because they were green. I guess you said they were like emeralds because you thought of her being a jewel, a special jewel." explained Logan.

"Did I like her?" asked Remy. Logan chuckled.

"Oh you felt much more than that kid, trust me."

"Den what, did I hate her?" Logan laughed again and then grew serious. He looked at him.

"You were madly in love with her." Remy's eyes grew wide.

"Really, me? Remy LeBeau fell head over heals fo' a woman?" asked Remy very surprised.

"We were just as much as surprised as you are right now. Especially when you proposed." said Logan. Remy's heart beat grew faster, nervously.

"What!" he shouted. "I'm engaged t' 'er."

"Guess again, ya married to her, and ya having a kid together." said Logan. Remy almost fainted.

"I…I…I…"

"Ya don't have to say anything, in your mind ya jus' some dumb 15 year old kid." said Logan. "I have to find a way for you to get your memory back."
