CH 7

Remy lay still holding Rogue in his arms, His eyes looked down on her peacefully sleeping.

"You're un ange chere no matter what you say" he whispered (an angel)

Her body wriggled with movement and he loosened his hold to allow her to move. He watched as her body twisted around turning her back towards him, her arms crossed in an 'x' over her chest with her hands holding onto her shoulders. He leaned in and kissed her shoulder lightly, that's when he noticed her hands — they were clenched tightly, so tight that her knuckles were turning white and her nails were digging into her skin. He touched his hand to he waist and felt her flinch from his touch.

"Chere?" he murmured

Inside her head the psyches had grown restless. She had her protection again; someone to help her, but still in her sleep she was vulnerable and her help was only outside her mind. They attacked her while she was at her most vulnerable, hurting and causing pain. They locked her in preventing any escape. The girl was trapped in her own mind.

"Help me" she whispered into her mindscape

"Help me" the words flowed through her lips

Remy looked down at her — his arms was rested safely around her waist in attempt to protect her from whatever he assumed was hurting her. He kissed her cheek lightly.

"Chere, let me in" he whispered knowing whatever it was that was hurting that it was inside her head.

He felt the gently pull of her powers after a small wait, his body then collapsed next to her as he lost consciousness.

Remy found his psyche inside Rogues mindscape. It was a desolate place, looking as though everything had recently been destroyed. Turning around in circles he heard delicate whimpering and wandered in the direction of the sound. Walking through the desolate wasteland he soon came to the source of the whimpering. It was his chere, she was bloodied and bruised and trapped in a makeshift cage.

"Chere!" Remy cried carefully touching several bars in order to make them explode.

He carefully helped her out of the cage.

"Chere you have to wake up. They can't harm you there"

Rogue slowly opened her eyes and leaned up to kiss Remy. He felt her lips lightly on his before she disappeared from before him.

Rogue opened her eyes to find herself back in the 'real world', the one of the truly living and not psyches. She saw Remy lying beside her, now peacefully sleeping.

"Thank you Remy" she whispered before moving towards the shower, her arms full with clean clothes.

Rogue walked out of the bathroom fully clothed. Looking towards the bed she saw Remy was sitting awake now and looking intently at her.

"Chere? Are you ok?"

"I'm fine sugah. Sorry I scared ya"

She leaned down and kissed him gently.

"So how do you do it then sugah?" she questioned

Remy let the question sink in, he knew it would be coming but it still hadn't expected it yet.

"My powers chere. They create a kinetic shield around me; I can lower it if I really want to though. It's invisible to the naked eye but it's what protects me from your powers. Its what allows me to touch you."

Rogue simply nodded.

"I love you Rems," he said kissing him lightly before pushing the kiss deeper.
