Shatter Glass Review Responses

FiReChIcKLeT22- Sorry Jean is going to be in it some more. But don't worry it's just so she can scream about how rogue nearly killed her and so Scott isn't pathetically alone.

xpoisonedxangelx- I know what you mean about spell check sorry bout that I'll try to do better in this one, and yeah I know Remy seems cold but hey no one messes with his decisions and that guy was... so yeah. Plus when you're a leader of a mutant resistance you just get the two sides of nice and cold (it's part of the job).

OK thanks to anyone else who reviewed I would thank you by name but that would take time away from the story. So with out further ado I give you chapter 2 of Shatter Glass.

Into Darkness

&&&&

Be More Then Human, Live Without Fear, Rule The Night.

Rogue was tossed roughly into her cell, landing hard on her shoulder. She sat up with a groan, the collar suppressed her powers but it didn't stop her victims memories from flowing through her head like a mighty river, churning it's way through her mind.

She sat up and leaned back against the cell wall. It was complete darkness in the cell but she was used to it having like that, since she had lived here almost all her life. She waited until her eyes had adjusted to the cold darkness. In the morning a sliver of light would filter through lighting up the cell a tiny bit, but she was grateful, it was more light then many of the other captives had ever seen in their lives.

She laid down on the cold concrete floor, it wasn't comfortable but it was all they had.

Gambit was dragged through the maze of cells he knew so well now. How many times had he been captured only to break out and take another mutant with him every time. It was quite sad you would think the humans had learned by now that he couldn't be kept in a box.

He tasted blood in his mouth and grimaced. Every time they tried to beat the resistance out of him and every time they failed. But he could take pain better then anyone at the resistance, except maybe the wolverine, but that guy had a healing factor he didn't.

The collar around his neck rubbed into his skin and he itched to use his thief skills to remove it, but that would ruin the plan.

He was dragged along as the guards conferred about where to put him this time. They were running out of rooms he hadn't been in yet. He listened in carefully to their conversation, you never knew when the guards might let something slip, something that would be helpful to the resistance.

&&&&&

Rogue sat against the cell wall looking up into the light that poured down from the crack in the wall. She sighed, just once she wished the battles could be held during the day, so that she could look at the sun with her bare eyes.

Rogue shook her head, she wished there were no battles at all. She let out a deep sigh, Rogue wished that she had never succeeded in the battle rings. She wished they would kill her and just get it over with.

Rogue whirled around as she heard the scrape of a key in the lock. She scrambled to her feet as the door opened and two guards with tasers stood in the door way, behind them two more guards dragged in the body of a very bloody mutant. They dropped him on the flood unceremoniously and walked out. Rogue heard the scrape of the key in the lock again as she turned toward the newest arrival.

&&&&&

The guards dropped him on the flood and walked out. Remy lay there and let his pain shields drop. It was an old trick only a few in the resistance had mastered since it took years and years to learn. The pain shields allowed the bearer to cut off the pain from your brain so you didn't feel a thing until the shields dropped. It was what had allowed him to take the pain of the guards beatings every time he had revisited this living Hell.

He gasped as the pain finally reached him. It was almost unbearable, bruises covered his body well the whip marks along his back burned like fire branded into his skin. Gambit gasped one last time and passed out, his last sight of a pair of beautiful emerald eyes.

&&&&&

Rogue gasped and backed away from the mutant, she had never seen a mutant having been beaten so bad. There were always bruises and marks but never like this.

Rogue pulled in gulps of air and started toward the now unconscious man. 'Get a grip on your self Rogue' she chimed her self and moved toward the mutant.

Rogue knelt on the flood and rolled the man over on to his back. She grimaced as blood covered her hands. The mutant collar was on allowing her to treat the mutant with her bare hands. She rolled him over checking for more injuries then he already had. When rogue was satisfied that he had no injures that would cause him to die, she began to check other things that would dictate his condition to her.

She peeled back one eye lid, and instantly let it go stumbling backwards. His eyes were a strange uncanny red on black 'Demon Eyes'. No wonder he had been caught with eyes like that there was no hiding. She shook her head and next pulled off the mutants gloves. It was here she found her evidence of why this poor soul had been beaten so bad almost to the edge of death. Tattooed on the web in between his fingers were X's. Rogue leaned back on her heels viewing the man in front of her.

X's were rarely found on a living individual. It marked a mutants escape from the rings, never had there been a mutant who had escaped and been caught so many times that still lived. Well none of which rogue knew of anyway.

She turned his hand over and found another tattoo on his left palm. It was in the shape of a circle with an X across the middle, inside an empty space were a picture of two flaming cards 'The Queen and Kings of Hearts'. On the opposite space was one last picture, it was an eight pointed star gold around the edges and black in the middle with a blood red streak (the colour of this mans eyes) through the centre.

Rogue carefully placed the hand on the mans chest and backed away to the opposite corner of the room. Who was this man and where did her come from?

I'm sooooo sorry it took so long to update. Don't worry the tattoo on Gambit's palm will be explained.
