As always a little explanation before the story starts, there's a couple things you should know if you wish to understand it properly:

All the movies from the X Men have happened

BUT instead of Jean having power trouble, it's Rogue

Yes, Rogue is with Bobby

There might be some quotations from the last two movies which I did NOT write

And for you Romy fans…there's going to be loads of Romy, 'coz ya just can't have Rogue without Remy…unlike the last 3 X Men movies

And for you other love fans, it's not just Romy, there's loads of other couples which are very likely

Also, it's not just the X Men, this isn't targeted on the X Men's view of things, all Marvel superheros are used in this fictional story (which DON'T belong to me…though I wish they were…I can dream…)

Sorry to keep you waiting, here's the story…

The Darkness Within

Hell's Deal

Snow covered the grounds Rogue walked on, she knew she should be cold, yet she just wasn't. It was like she had fire in her blood or something. As she walked forward she heard noises of cars.

'Finally ah've been walkin' fo' hours.' she thought. Rogue started to walk towards the noises, at the same time wondering what was happening to her powers. Before all this mess happened, she didn't have very good control. Her new powers were out of control when she was at the Xavier Mansion, but they weren't very strong so they didn't cause all that chaos in the woods.

Her powers to absorb were okay, even though she couldn't touch. Maybe she was evolving? She didn't know. And she wouldn't until she found the Professor.

She also wanted to know how the hell she was here. She died; she couldn't have survived the water, even with her mutant powers. Rogue put her hand on her head; all this thinking was giving her a headache.

Rogue kept on walking forward until she reached a snowy road. There were a couple of cars going down it, but as far as she could see it looked like it led to no where. She couldn't take the chance though, she needed to follow it and see if there was a town so she could find out how to get home.

There was only one way she could get there quick enough, it was to use her telepathic powers to lift herself up and fly there. She needed to concentrate hard. Suddenly, her feet started to rise above the ground as she closed her eyes. She opened them and smiled at her accomplishment. Then, as she lost concentration she fell to the ground.

Rogue sighed as she sat on the ground. The only way she was going to get to the town was to hitchhike, but she didn't know who would let a strangely dressed woman in there car. But she had no other choice.

She stuck her thumb out and only hoped that someone would pick her up.

Half An Hour Later

Rogue was getting fed up. She had been waiting for half an hour with her thumb stuck out. Several cars went passed her, some were men who honked at her, but none actually stopped for her.

But to her luck, a blue rover pulled up on the snowy surface and stopped in front of Rogue. The woman wound her window down and smiled.

"Hey, ya need a ride?" she asked. The woman had long curly blond hair with sparkling blue eyes. She had a gracious smile and looked very friendly.

"Thanks, ah've been stickin' mah thumb out fo' ages. Ah wonder 'f ah have frost bite?" said Rogue. The woman laughed.

"Hop in then." she told her. Rogue smiled and ran to the right hand side of the car to get in. Before the woman started to drive she looked at Rogue. "So before we go, why are you dressed up in that strange outfit?"

"Ah…ah…like it?" Rogue offered. She didn't know what else to say. The woman smiled none the less.

"Okay, I'm not one with going with the crowd either." she explained. "So are you a rapist, drug addict or a murderer on the run?" Rogue laughed.

"No, defiantly not." she stated. The woman started the engine and began to drive.

"Good, I'm Alison Blaire by the way. Ya can call me Ali though." she said.

"Ah'm Rogue."

"Rogue? What a strange yet very tempting name. Well if you're calling yourself that, you can call me by my stage name."

"An' what would what be?" asked Rogue.

"Dazzler." she replied. Rogue smiled.

"Okay Dazzler, what d'ya do?"

"I sing, in fact I'm singing tonight in Sind town. I would ask if you'd like to be dropped off anywhere before that, but there's no other town before that."

"That's okay, ah'm headed fo' the nearest town anyway." explained Rogue.

"Oh so you're a traveller." said Dazzler. Rogue took it and nodded. "Cool, I've always wanted to do that, mind you, I sorta do with all my singing. Hey, you should come and visit me tonight!"

"Oh, ah'm afraid ah can't stay too long." said Rogue.

"Oh…well if you change your mind, just look out for Lighting Nightclub, that's where I'm singing." Rogue nodded, she really wasn't in the mood to talk. She was really scared of what was happening to her and just wanted to get back home.

An Hour later

The sky was dark, but the moon shone brightly. Dazzler was singing to herself while Rogue pretended to be asleep. She was really reviewing what had happened in the woods with that noise and her powers. And what really annoyed her is how did she come back?

"Hey Rogue, you awake?" asked Dazzler. Rogue didn't answer for a second, but sighed and moved her head from the sleeping position.

"Yeah." she replied.

"I couldn't help but notice your hair, what colour did you use, pure white?" she asked. Rogue smiled, the woman was quite amusing.

"Nah, it's natural." said Rogue. Even though that was a lie since she got it when Magneto used her to destroy mankind, she still felt like she had it all her life.

"Really? Were you born a granny or something?" Rogue laughed.

"No, ah don' know why, but ah like it."

"I do too, that's why I wanted to know." explained Dazzler. "Not 'coz I was making fun of you or anything." Rogue smiled and looked ahead of her; she could see a town in the distance. It looked very much like a night life town.

"So ah'm guessin' this is a replica of Las Vegas."

"Sorta, 'sept there's not a lot of people here 'coz it's not very big. Folks here like to keep this place a secret." explained Dazzler.

"Will there b' phones there?" asked Rogue. Dazzler rolled her eyes.

"Course there will be." she said. "Here." Dazzler picked up some sunglasses and gave them to Rogue. Rogue looked at her confused.

"What do ah want them fo' it's not even light?" she asked.

"You have to pay nine dollars to get in and I don't pay that sorta cash just to get in a town."

"Wow, they really don' want people in there town huh?" Dazzler put her sunglasses on and looked over to Rogue. Rogue looked at them and sighed as she put them on. Dazzler smiled and looked back to the road. "So what's ya plan?"

"To do what a girl does best, tempt the man at the toll booth."

"An' how do we do that?" she asked.

"Well I tell him how good he looks, and you flash him." she said.

"What! Dazzler, no way am ah flashin' 'im!" shouted Rogue. Dazzler laughed.

"No I mean flash him ya eyes. I noticed your eyes are really sparkly, kinda like emeralds. Maybe ya can get him to stare deeply into them?" asked Dazzler.

"Well you got sparkly eyes too, so ya have t' flash 'em too." said Rogue. Dazzler sighed.

"Fine!" said Dazzler as the car approached the toll cubicle. "Hey handsome, how much?"

The man looked quite cute actually, he was young with jet black hair. He smiled at Dazzler.

"Nine dollars fifty please. And me handsome? Ya must have the wrong guy." he said. Dazzler went for her purse and looked back to the man.

"Yeah I was talking to the guy behind you." she said. The man looked behind him, but there was no one there. As he turned back, he saw Dazzler smiling. "Course I was talking to you."

"Who's ya friend?" he asked as he lent over to see Rogue's face. Rogue smiled.

"Names Rogue sugah, an' you are..?"

"Mark." he said. Rogue pulled down her sunglasses to reveal her eyes.

"Mark. That's a striking name." she said. He gulped as he saw her eyes.

"Thanks…" he said. Dazzler smiled, like she was Rogue's teacher or something.

"Oh no! I only seem to have fifty cense…" said Dazzler. She looked back to Mark and pulled her glasses down. "I'll have to go all the way back home and get some money." Mark gulped again and smiled nervously.

"Oh no, don't worry, I'll let you go in for free. Just don't tell the boss." Mark said. Rogue and Dazzler looked at each other and smiled.

"Are you sure, we don' wanna b' a bother?" asked Rogue as she pouted.

"No, no, no, not a bother, not a bother at all." he said. Rogue smiled and blew him a kiss.

"Thanks sugah." she said as Dazzler drove past. They both bust out laughing. "That was so corny!"

"I know." Dazzler laughed. "Can't believe he actually fell for it." Rogue stopped laughing. That actually took her mind off things, for a slight moment, she felt like a normal person, not a reborn mutant with her powers going all nuts.

"Aw, please come with me Rogue, it'll be so funny!" pleaded Dazzler. Rogue didn't know, she had to find the Professor, and even though she was having loads of fun, she couldn't risk it.

"Ah'm sorry Dazzler, ah can', ah need t' find a phone." Dazzler looked down to the floor sadly.

"Alright, but just try to make it, remember, Lighting Nightclub." she said. Rogue nodded.

"Ah'll remember." Dazzler stopped at the pavement and Rogue jumped out of the car. She handed back Dazzler the sunglasses and smiled. "Thanks fo' everythin' darlin'."

"Please, keep them, as a reminder of your time with the yet to be famous Dazzler!" she laughed. Rogue smiled and put the sunglasses on her head.

"Bye." she said as she closed the door.

Rogue started to walk down the street of Sind town. She saw Dazzler beep and go past her in the car. Rogue waved to her and smiled. She was a really nice girl; she actually managed to get Rogue to forget who she really was.

Rogue walked towards a telephone box she saw. She picked up the phone and started to dial. But there was no ringing town. Rogue looked at the phone and realised the cord had been cut off. She groaned and started to walk into the central part of town.

There were loads of people here, dancing on the streets, and drunk out of the heads. Rogue was just glad she was covered up completely.

Rogue couldn't spot any telephones, but a huge sign caught her eye which said telephones. She walked towards the restaurant called Joeys…it reminded her of the guy who had touched her by accident.

As she entered the old waiter looked at her, not very amused with what she was wearing.

"Hello m'am, how may I help you?" he asked.

"Ah'd like t' use a phone please." said Rogue. The man nodded.

"Just go straight on and turn on the first left." said the waiter. Rogue nodded and smiled. When she reached the phone her head started to get the pain again.

"Oh no!" Rogue shouted. She put her hand on her head and fell onto her knees. She couldn't hurt these people. She ran into the toilets, the pain was easing away. She breathed heavily and looked into the mirror. She gasped as she saw her reflection in the mirror.

Her hair was on fire, and her face was grinning evilly. She was wearing a red costume, but she was looking at her eyes which were also on fire. Rogue closed her eyes and when she opened them again, there was nothing in the mirror except her normal look.

Rogue put her hand on the mirror, amazed at what had happened. She looked into her eyes, they looked fine. Her hair was scruffy but not on fire. She looked into her eyes again, and all of a sudden they turned to fire again.

She screamed and fell on the ground. Rogue scuffled back up and put her sunglasses on so no one could see. The pain in her head started to come back, even more powerful. Rogue ran out of the toilets and into the dining area. She screamed as her head got more and more painful. People started to look at her as she stumbled everywhere.

"Help…me!" she screamed. The restaurant started to shake as did the tables. All the plates and forks started to rise up in the air around her. The people started to scream and ran out of the restaurant. The dining objects flew around her more violently. She screamed as she couldn't control any of the things she was lifting up with her mind.

Then they all dropped to the ground, but the pain was still there. Rogue ran out of the restaurant which had also stopped shaking. She stumbled onto the road, still holding her head. She gasped as a huge lorry beeped at her to move. She couldn't though, and all of a sudden, her out of control telepathic powers hit the lorry, and actually sent it upside down, crashing down to the ground.

Rogue stood there, amazed, the pain was gone now. It was like it needed something big to move. Everyone looked at her, she heard a few people say mutant. Rogue ran past all the crowd, she needed help.

Lightning Nightclub

"I wanted to tell him,

How I felt,

But now it's too late,

He's gone from my arms…foreveeeerrrr,

And all I can say is i wanna go back to the days when I was young!"

Dazzler smiled as the audience clapped and cheered at her. She stood up from the stool and held her guitar up.

"Thank you, what a great audience!" she shouted to the crowd. Her eyes then spotted the doors fling open and a pale Rogue. No one else turned there head and continued talking. Dazzler jumped off the stage and ran towards Rogue with a huge smile on her face. "You made it!"

"Please…" Rogue said. Dazzler looked at her, realising she was sick.

"Rogue, what's wrong, you look so pale?" Dazzler asked.

"Please…" Rogue said as she fell on her knees.

"I need to take you to a hospital." Rogue grabbed her and looked into her eyes.

"Help me." she said. Her eyes lit up with fire and Dazzler gasped.

"Oh my god…you're a mutant." said Dazzler. Rogue was so weak, she felt something inside of her, trying to get out, but Rogue was trying to push it back in. "What do you want me to do?"

"Xavier…" said Rogue.

"Xavier? Wait…that guy Charles Xavier?" asked Dazzler as she held her friend in her arms. Rogue nodded. "Come on I need to take you backstage." Dazzler tried to hold Rogue out as she stumbled to the floor now and then.

When they were backstage, Dazzler saw her glass of water and handed it to Rogue. Rogue looked at it and the glass shattered. Dazzler gasped and looked at Rogue.

"Did you know you were a mutant?" she asked. Rogue nodded. "Then why are you loosing control?" Rogue didn't answer, she was just taking deep breathes. "I need to find you some help.

"No…Xavier…need…X Men…" said Rogue. Dazzler looked even more confused.

"You want me to contact Xavier…who are the X Men?" asked Dazzler. Tears came down Rogue's cheeks. She couldn't explain, she was in too much agony. Dazzler started to notice some of the c.d's on the side being lifted up in the air. Some of the chairs started to do the same. Dazzler needed to get her out of here, before people saw.

"Dazzler, ah can'…ah can' control it…" whispered Rogue. Dazzler stroked her hair.

"It's okay, I'm gonna take you outside round the back." she told Rogue. "There's a phone there." Rogue nodded and struggled to get up, even with Dazzler's help.

Once there were outside, Rogue fell to the ground, and Dazzler laid her up against a broken fence. There was a phone right next to them. She lifted it up and dialled 0 for the operator. For some reason all she could here was crackling. She tried three more times but nothing was happening.

"I don't know what's up with the phones. There's some sort of electric thing goin' on." Dazzler told Rogue. Rogue wasn't even listening; she was in so much pain. "I don't know what t' do." Rogue opened her eyes and looked at Dazzler. Her pupils started to go black, which freaked Dazzler out.

"Maybe we can help." said a voice. Dazzler turned around to see a fair haired blond woman, barely dressed in a white bikini and white skirt. She also wore a white cape.

"Looks like the snow has come early this year." said Dazzler. The woman laughed and walked towards Dazzler. She didn't know who this woman was, but for some reason, she didn't trust her.

"So, that must be Rogue." said the woman.

"Do you know her?" asked Dazzler.

"No, but I can help her, if you let me take her."

"And why would I leave her with a complete stranger?" the woman raised an eyebrow. "I may be young, but I'm not stupid."

"I never said you were." the woman smiled. "My names Emma Frost and I'm here to help Rogue. Like her, I'm a mutant, and I know what it's like to have no control over my powers. Something whish you'll never understand."

"Hey, I know the difference between good and bad, an unlike some people, I think mutants are people. But hunny, your vibe aint lookin' so good." Emma rolled her eyes.

"Enough with the rough talk, can't you see your friend is in danger. Not only to other people, but to herself. You can't take her to a hospital, you can't hide her away, face it, I'm your only option." explained Emma. Dazzler studied her carefully, she knew she was right, but she also had good judgement. There was just something not right about this woman.

"Why, what could you do for her?" asked Dazzler as she held Rogue in her arms.

"I can stop the pain for a while. And while it's gone, I can help her control her powers. Ya see, my mutant powers can make her see peace, all she sees now is darkness." explained Emma. "I can also read minds, and the answer to your question is her power is so great that we sensed it."

"I don't know…you just seem the type to use…"

"I know ya scared about ya friend, but to be honest it's her choice, not yours." said Emma. "I've had enough of trying to convince you, so move." Emma telepathically shoved her to the side into a dumpster. Emma then looked at Rogue, who looked like she was half asleep. "Don't worry, that pain will be gone in no time."

"Hey bitch, ya can't get rid of me that easily!" shouted Dazzler as she got up. Emma sighed and looked to the girl.

"I've already taken care of you, I can beat you any day, you should know that puny human." said Emma, sounding as though she just didn't care. Dazzler smiled.

"Ya must be mistaken, I think your powers forgot to pick up a little bit of this!" shouted Dazzler. Suddenly a solid photon blast came straight for Emma, knocking her on the floor. Dazzler made a gesture of a gun with her hands and blew, as though she had a gun.

She ran to Rogue. "Come on girl, get up, we need to go." Rogue was still half out. Dazzler started to drag her across the pavement, but she knew she wouldn't be able to get away. Emma's head had banged against a wall, so she was unconscious, but Dazzler knew better than that. There had to be more of them…

She then felt someone from behind her grab her T-Shirt and lift her in the air. Dazzler screamed as the person holding her threw her about 50 yards. The man grinned and picked up Rogue. He started to walk off, but Dazzler wouldn't give in. She used her powers to convert sound into light, to create a laser beam which hit the man.

He turned around and grinned at her as her powers evaporated into his body. Dazzler's eyes went wide open.

"Who are you, what do you want with Rogue!" she shouted.

"I'm Sebastian Shaw, and that girl behind you is Negasonic Teenage Warhead." Dazzler turned around to see a pure white face with black pupils, and a black costume. She smiled and put her hands on her hips.

"What kinda name is that? How 'bout Pale Face or PessimisticPowderFaceGirl? Hey, I kinda like that name." teased Dazzler. Warhead stood there, not given any emotion. "Or come on, not even a smile?"

"You try our patience." said a gloomy voice. Dazzler groaned.

"How many of you are there!" she shouted.

"Enough to beat you my dear." Dazzler turned around to see a bald woman in a wheelchair. "You can fight all you want with your powers, but you'll never win." Emma Frost started to regain consciousness as she put her hand on her head.

"Ahhhh!" Rogue started to shout. Her eyes were closed as though she was in a nightmare. Sebastian kept her still in his arms as she fidgeted around.

"Your friend needs help, we're not the bad ones here, only you who will not let her have the help and control she needs." said the old woman known as Cassandra Nova. Dazzler looked at her, not even accepting that for a second.

"You all look like a bunch of fakes t' me, who are you anyway!"

"We're called the Hellfire Club." said Sebastian.

"What a pleasant and innocent name." said Dazzler sarcastically. Sebastian rolled his eyes.

"Be done with her, I don't want to be stood here all night."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her." said Emma as she stood up, angrily. "Ya think ya can beat me!"

"I thought I already did." said Dazzler.

"Well aren't you the little sadistic queen." said Emma. With her powers, she made Dazzler's head feel like it was going to explode. Dazzler screamed and fell on the floor.

"No!" shouted Rogue. She pushed herself out of Sebastian's arms and got up off the floor. She ran to Dazzler and checked if she was okay. The girl was unconscious, but it didn't look like anything serious.

"We can help you child." said Cassandra. Rogue looked to her and gave her an evil look.

"Ya expect me t' believe ya when ya hurt one o' mah friends!" asked Rogue. She did consider Dazzler a friend. She had only just met her, but she felt a strong bond between the two of them. Dazzler, in a mere hour made Rogue feel human again, no one had done that for her.

"She was trying to stop us from taking you." said Emma. "We had to stop her somehow." Rogue growled, the dumpster behind Emma started to lift up into the air, along with other object around her.

"We've been tracking you for a day now Rogue, we only want to help." said Sebastian. Rogue lost control of the objects and felt the little pain in her head again. She fell to her knees, crying.

"Why is this happening t' me!" she shouted. Cassandra went over to Rogue and put her hand on her shoulder. Rogue started to feel strange, like someone was putting her to sleep. In a matter of face, Cassandra was using her powers to manipulate Rogue's actions. Rogue stood up, no emotion on her face.

"Have you got her under your control?" asked Emma.

"For the mean time, but her powers are strong, there's something very dark inside of her." she explained. "We must take her back, quickly to out base in New York. We won't be able to get to London in time." the three other mutants nodded and started to walk to their car.

"Hey…should we take the weasel over there?" asked Emma, pointing to the unconscious Dazzler. Cassandra rolled her eyes.

"Do what you wish." she told her. Emma went over to the girl and grinned evilly over her.

"Time to play."

Hellfire Club New York

The Next Day

Rogue's eyes opened slowly. She had a huge headache, but nothing she couldn't handle. It wasn't as all as powerful as her other pain. As she looked ahead, she saw the four mutants which had taken her sitting near the fire, smiling at her like freaks.

"Where the hell am ah?" Rogue asked as she put her hand on her head. Emma stood up and walked towards her. Rogue shuffled away from her, making sure she knew she didn't like the blond woman.

"Your in the Hellfire's club in New York." replied Emma. Rogue frowned.

"Why have you brought me here?" asked Rogue. "How d'ya know me?"

"Emma sensed you; in fact, she became unconscious since your power was so great. We've been tracking you for a day, thankfully Emma could find you quicker since she sensed you with another human life form." explained Sebastian.

"Ali…" whispered Rogue. "Where's Alison!" Emma rolled her eyes.

"That frail excuse for a human is fine."

"Ah wanna see her, now!" shouted Rogue. As an X Man, she tended to put other people's safety first, even though Logan told her otherwise. Rogue loved to protect people, being an X Man gave her so much pride. Dazzler was a good person, and didn't deserve to get dragged into any of this mess. She risked her life for Rogue; she had to make sure she was okay.

"Alright child." said Cassandra. Emma's eyes went wide open. She walked over to the old woman and stood over her.

"What are you doing!" she asked. "Rogue will only try to escape with her!"

"The mutant known as Dazzler is under my control. She can say what she wishes, but her actions are minupulated by me." explained Cassandra. "Rogue will not escape with her."

"But you didn't feel her power Cassy, this girl's strong! You just don't understand!"

"I understand perfectly, but the only way we're going to be able to get Rogue to listen to us is by bringing out her friend." Cassandra turned her wheelchair towards Negasonic Teenage Warhead. "Get the girl." Warhead nodded and went through a door to get Dazzler.

"We did what you want, now will you listen to our offer?" asked Sebastian. Rogue frowned.

"Why would ah listen t' your offer, after all ya did kidnap me…" said Rogue.

"Child…I know that you are new to this. This power you have is frightening you because you've never had so much power before…I know what it's like to have no control." explained Cassandra.

"No…ya don' understand. These powers ah have, ah can already deal with them. But there's something new…ah can' explain it. It's more powerful, an' all the power ah've kept in me is suddenly draining out 'coz o' this new energy." explained Rogue.

"You power is so great," said Emma, "we only want to help you control it. We don't want to abuse your trust."

"Then what do you want! Ya didn't kidnap me jus' so ya could help me, you want something." pointed out Rogue.

"Yes…you're right. We want you to join the Hellfire club; you'll be a valuable liability to our club." said Sebastian. "Of course, we'll have to get these powers of yours in control." Rogue gave him a dead eye.

"Ah'll never join ya pathetic little club. Ah already belong t' one fo' starters." said Rogue.

"I don't think you're understanding us Rogue." said Emma. She bent down to the chair and looked at Rogue's emerald eyes. "Control over all your powers. Including the one where you can't touch." Rogue gasped.

"How…how d'ya know?"

"I'm a telepathic Rogue, I know all your thoughts." Rogue growled.

"Get outta mah head!"

"I thought you wanted control over you powers Rogue…to be able to toucn another human being…"

"Shut up." spat Rogue.

"…To be able to wear all the clothes you want…"

Rogue's anger was increasing as Emma talked, she was teasing her, trying to make her use her powers or something, or maybe she just found it funny.

"Shut up." said Rogue, clenching her teeth.

"That's enough White Queen." said Cassandra. But Emma wouldn't, she wanted to see this power.

"…Or to kiss your lovely boyfriend…Bobby is it?" asked Emma.

"That's it!" Rogue shouted as she got up. Things around them started to move viciously around them. Suddenly, the door swung open, and Warhead and a tied up Dazzler came in. Warhead threw her onto the ground.

"Thank you darling, see Rogue, nothing's wrong with her." Rogue ran to Dazzler, everything else falling onto the floor. Rogue untied her.

"Dazzler, are you alright!" asked Rogue.

"I'm fine, did I miss much?" she asked sarcastically. Rogue smiled.

"We have t' get out o' 'ere." she whispered.

"How can we, I'm under the influence of that old bitch over there." said Dazzler. Rogue didn't exactly know what she was talking about but she kind of got the important information of Cassandra's mutant powers.

"Ah'll take her out." said Rogue.

"How?" she asked. Rogue grinned.

"Ah didn' tell you about mah other mutant power either." Rogue stood up and walked towards a smiling Cassandra. "Alright, so what's the deal?"

"Control." she said simply. "Everything you've ever wanted, everything that you've always desired, to touch, to live life free, and to know that no one can ever hurt you with the power you have."

Even though Rogue wanted to get out of the 18th century club, she couldn't help but wonder about there proposal. She had always wanted to touch, obviously, yet no one had ever offered her control over her powers. Maybe they could really help her, but then, if she decided to stay, what would they do to Dazzler? In fact, what if they were lying to her, like Xavier did? He said that he'd able to give her control, but he totally forgot she even existed. If only he could see her now.

This was the sort of thinking that Emma picked up on, she grinned. 'The plans actually working, she believes us! Think, we'll be the most feared mutant team the world will ever know of.' thought Emma.

"D'ya mean it?" asked Rogue. Dazzler looked up to her.

"Rogue…it must be hard, but you don't wanna be stuck with these losers." Dazzler fell to the ground as Emma used her telepathic powers to push her to the floor. Cassandra still had her mental hold on Dazzler's body.

Rogue didn't know what to say, did she really want to join a team which she hated? But, they offered her the one thing she wanted, control!

But at the same time, Rogue knew that she could never be apart of a team who most likely from their action so far, hurt people to gain control.

She sighed. "Sorry, offer declined." Rogue touched Cassandra's face unexpectedly and absorbed all her powers, memories and energy. Rogue fell to the floor as she held her head. Dazzler's hold broke free, and she used her powers to stop Emma from attacking Rogue. Emma was thrown into the wall by Dazzler…again.

"Bitch, I've had enough of you. I'm gonna dispose of you once and for all." said Emma as she stood up.

"Bring it on." said Dazzler. Warhead stood there in the dark, waiting for her chance to attack, while Sebastian checked on the unconscious Cassandra. He looked down to a crying Rogue, no sympathy for her at all.

"See what you did." he said unemotionally. "You absorbed more power than you can handle. And now you're paying for that." Rogue couldn't talk, the pain was so extreme, he was right. "Now, I'm going to have to take you out."

As he went to hit her, a force field came over her. He looked over Dazzler who was using one hand to attack Emma, and the other to create a force field around Rogue. He grinned and touched the force field absorbing its energy. Dazzler gasped, and unexpectedly, Emma used her powers to lift her into the air and push her into a wall.

"I'll take care of the rat." said Emma as she walked towards the other side of the room. Rogue still had no control over the pain and absorbed energy she had took from Cassandra. Sebastian went to hit Rogue but…

"Stop!" shouted Warhead. Sebastian turned to her and looked at her puzzled.

"Why should I?" he asked. The normally speechless girl walked towards the full-size man.

"I had a dream that this girl would rise from the dead." said Warhead.

"What…why didn't you tell us!" asked Sebastian. Warhead circled the girl, very strangely like she was her favourite doll or something.

"I didn't think it possible, so I thought there was no point." she said. "She's going to destroy everything you see in front of you, and if you hit her now, she'll have a grudge, and when she changes to her full form, she will come after us." Sebastian laughed.

"Your always too extreme, lighten up." he said. She looked at him, un-amused.

"If you don't believe me that is your choice, but I won't let you endanger the lives of the other members." said Warhead. She looked at the girl. "If we get her powers under control, she'll not want to hurt us." Sebastian looked down to the girl.

Rogue's eyes opened, revealing pure black pupils. Sebastian looked curious, but was suddenly thrown by an unseen force into the back of the room where Emma and Dazzler were fighting. The two stopped and looked at Rogue.

Things once again started to fly into the air around her. Rogue's body started to rise above the ground. Warhead was also lifted in the air and thrown to the side of the room.

"Rogue…" said Dazzler feeling sorry for her friend. Rogue turned to Emma and lifted her up.

"Ahhh!" screamed Emma as she was lifted into the air. Rogue growled as Emma looked at her. "Hey…what I said earlier, I didn't mean it…that boyfriend of yours, he looks really nice, I-." Emma was thrown into a wall and knocked unconscious.

Dazzler was then lifted into the air. "Rogue!" she shouted. "Why are you doing this to me, I'm your friend!" Rogue looked at her, she knew what she was saying, and she knew it was true. But she just didn't care. Before she used her powers to hurt Dazzler, the pain started to come inside her head again. Rogue dropped all the things in the air, including Dazzler, but she remained flying.

She out her hand on her head and screamed. "Help me!" Suddenly a huge flash of light came from Rogue. After a few seconds, the light went, and Rogue fell to the floor unconscious. Dazzler ran to her side, being careful not to touch her skin.

"Oh my god…" she whispered as she looked onto Rogue. "What's happening to you?"

That's a very good question Dazzler…hmm…I wonder? lol. Soooooooooo what do you think? I just have to tell some of you if you don't know, that the Hellfire club's members what are in this story are REAL characters from the comics. I don't know who came up with the name Megasonic Teenage Warhead…lol.

Please review otherwise I won't post another chappie, sowwie the way it is lol.

Next chapter - …I don't want to tell you…should I…? Hmm… well I'll give you a clue. It has something to do with Alkali Lake, and something very strange happens there…you DON'T want to miss it :-)
