Dedicated for Venikins : )
Oh! Sadly I just realized a mistake I made... oopies... I've only seen Xmen3 once, and my memory is horrible so I barely remember much from it. But I do believe Logan and Beast fought together or were at least introduced, while in my story they have just met. yikes!
Sorry for the mistake ya'll. I'm just going to keep it the way it is though, as if they hadn't met during X3.
I'm also going to be adding in who's POV it is. Thanks to DeltaGamma Liv on this one.

Chapter 7: Fallen for an Angel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:Rogue's POV:
Ah had spent the last two days searchin' everywhere in and outside the mansion for Logan but had no luck. It had been a whole week and no one could find him. Finally ah went to the garage, the last place ah wanted to go, afraid of what ah already knew. Sure enough his truck was gone, only a puddle of oil left behind. When ah saw that it wasn't there ah started to cry, which soon turned to a sob. Ah just stood there sobbing for what seemed like forever. He probably left because of me, ah had come on too strong. How long will he be gone?... Will he come back? Nobody here has the ability to use Cerebro, not like anyone would use it find Logan. He's known for coming and going, but was he gonna come back? He usually says good bye to me, or leaves me some kind of hint that he is leaving. This time though, he just disappeared. Ah rubbed my neck where his dog tags had hung from for so long.
After my tears ran empty ah made my way to his room, ah needed to be around something of his. The door was locked so ah started slamming myself up against it, but nothing happened. The thick maple was two much for me and I slid to the ground out of breath, my casted leg poundin' in pain. Ah reached into the pocket of my pants and retrieved my pack of cigarettes and lit one up. Ah was almost finish with it when someone approached me.
"Those things will kill you, and if they don't Storm will if she catches you smoking in the mansion." It was Hank, in his usual good mood. Ah looked around me for something to put it out on. He smiled and took it from me, putting it out on the bottom of his shoe.
"Aww, ya didn't have to do that Hank."
"Anything for you dear." He winked, sat down next to me, and patted my leg making me wince.
"You'll be getting this taken off tomorrow, excited?"
"Ah guess so, I'm kinda used to it now..."
"So what are you doing sitting here?" He asked looking at the door trying to see who's room it was.
"Wolverine, huh? I haven't seen him since he came barging into the Infirmary with only a towel on." Ah blushed remembering how sexy he looked. His handsome chest wet with water, still hot from the shower.
"Don't tell Storm, okay?" He looked at me confused for a second.
"You're secret is safe with me." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder getting comfortable. We just sat there for a while in our own thoughts.
"So what class are you going to be teaching?" He broke the silence.
"English, which ah am horrible at." He laughed.
"When do the classes start?" "Next week..." Ah moaned.
"I got you something, perhaps it will help." He dug around in his jacket and pulled out a small dark red journal. It had my real name on the front in small cursive writing.
"Hank!" Ah ran my fingers along it, "You shouldn't have done this."
"I always keep a journal with information about my classes in it in case I forget something." Ah reached out to him and hugged him.
"Thank you," Ah looked down at it again, "how did you know my real name?"
He looked behind him at Logan's door.
"I was curious to why he was calling you by that so I asked Storm and she told me it was your birth name. It's a very pretty name, suites you better than Rogue." Ah leaned my head on his shoulder and admired my gift.
"Well, I better be on my way, come see me tomorrow so we can take off this cast." He patted my leg again and walked off down the hallway.
"Thank you Hank..."
Ah looked up at Logan's door and left. All the students were out of class and hanging out around the mansion. Ah was going to go outside next to the fountain but saw Bobby, Kitty, and Jubilee were there. Ah stopped and watched them as ah hid behind the door. Bobby and Jubilee were arguing and Kitty was watching amused by them. Normally ah would go out and join them but they weren't my friends anymore, we had drifted apart. The two friends ah have left aren't around though, Logan is out there somewhere and Hank is too busy to really hang out.
Ah decided ah would go to the Library and look at some more maps. Ah might not have the money to travel right now, but ah still enjoyed looking at the maps we had, finding even more places I wanted to visit. When ah got to the Library there wasn't a soul in sight, which was just fine with me. Ah made my way over to the shelf with the maps on it, it was next to the corner Logan and ah feel asleep in. Observing the books ah noticed one on the second to top shelf that looked very intriguing. Ah was way too short to reach it though so ah looked around for the tall later most Libraries have. Ah scooted it over towards the shelf and carefully limped my way up.
The book was heavier than it looked and while trying to pull it out from between two other thick books ah lost my balance. My casted leg slipped right out from underneath me and ah closed my eyes knowing that ah would be hitting the ground soon. After a second ah realized that ah hadn't landed on the floor but in someone's arms. Ah blinked and opened my eyes seeing white feathers all around me. When ah looked up ah saw Angel, a new mutant to the mansion. He smiled at me and ah let out a sigh of relief. Relief that ah had been caught and relief that my mutation didn't kick in.
"You really are an angel." Ah said holding onto him and examining his beautiful wings in awe.
"You should be more careful," He floated down to his feet put me down, "Rogue right?" He asked.
"Yup, and you're Angel." Ah touched his wings, they were really soft. He blushed and ah took my hand away.
"Ah'm sorry, ah didn't mean too..." Ah looked down at my hands. "Didn't mean to do what?" Ah looked at him a bit confused.
"Touch you..."
"I don't mind, it feels nice. You can touch them as much as you like."
"B-but... aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why would I be?" He looked at me as if ah were speaking another language. He must only know my name, not my mutation. Or perhaps he knows ah've taken the cure?
"Her mutation, when she touches someone she sucks the life right out of them." Bobby interrupted walking up behind Angel. "Bobby..." Ah hissed under my breath.
"Well, she didn't do anything just now." Angel responded a bit offended by what he said and how he said it.
"She probably wants to earn your trust first, then take everything you have when you least expect it." Bobby said not taking his angry eyes off of mine. Angel looked very confused.
"That's not true! Don't listen to him, Bobby what are you tryin' to get at? Why don't you just leave me alone!" Ah yelled at him. He walked up to me as if he were going to attack me and for the first time since I've known him ah was scared of him. He got very close to my face, his eyes burned with hatred and ah knew he was up to something.
"Let her be, she wasn't doing anything to hurt me." Angel said noticing Bobby's hostility.
"You hurt me Rogue. I'm going to get back at you for what you did to me..." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him. Ah felt my mutation kick in but stopped it before it could do anything. My nerves must have prompted it.
"Let go of me!" Ah screamed. "Don't do this." Angel said placing his hand on Bobby's shoulder with disapproval. Bobby still kept his eyes locked on mine and pulled me even closer to him, grabbed me by my hair and shoved me into Angel.
Ah was so shocked at what he had just done ah couldn't stop my mutation when ah fell on top of Angel. Ah felt myself pull his thoughts and memories from him and tried to stand up but Bobby pressed his foot against my back and pushed me into him. Ah took even more from him and his beautiful feathers started to rot and he shook violently.
"Bobby stop! STOP IT NOW!" He pushed his foot down harder. My face was pressed against Angel's stealing his life and mutation and ah couldn't stop it.
Ah screamed louder in pain as my back torn, blood and flesh being ripped away from me. Two wings grew out of me like limbs and lifted me up into the air. "What's---what's happenin' to me?" Ah grabbed my head in pain and let out another scream. All the sudden the wings stopped working and ah crashed onto the floor.
"What's going on?" Kitty and Jubilee ran over towards us and watched in fear.
"She attacked him!" Bobby lied. Angel was still shaking and Kitty had ran up to him trying to get him to stop.
"He's going to die! Someone help!" My vision blurred and all of Angel's memories came to me, ones of him with his family as a child, one of him trying to cut off his wings.
"NO! Stop...nooo..." Ah shook back and forth, feathers going everywhere. When ah managed to open my eyes Bobby and Jubilee were gone and Kitty was holding onto Angel crying. There was a mess of rotten and bloody feathers all around us and ah felt like there was someone standing on my back, ah would have never thought wings would so heavy.
Ah stumbled towards them and Kitty screamed crawling away from me in fear. Ah didn't have the mental strength to say anything, ah was using all of my concentration to bring forth Logan's healing ability ah had consumed so many times. Ah feel right beside Angel and gently placed my shaking fingers against his throat.
"No, don't you touch him! Leave him alone!" Kitty cried. Ah felt Logan's mutation work through me and Angel stopped shaking but before ah could heal him anymore Kitty kicked one of my wings and ah let go in pain. She was a lot stronger than she looked and the weight of the wings knocked me off balance.
"Haven't you done enough harm?" She said in-between sobs.
One of Angel's, Warren's, memories of his mother and father scared to death of him flooded my mind and my wings began to flap back and forth lifting me up off of the ground again. Ah heard their voices in my head, asking him what he had done.
"Don't you hurt me too!" Kitty fused through a book shelf.
"Ah'm ... not..." My head was pulsing and something inside me told me to leave. Using my new acquired wings ah flew from the Library. Not having much control over them ah hit several book shelves on my way out and ah crashed again, falling to the ground outside the Library doors. Ah saw Bobby, Jubilee, Storm and Hank running towards me. Ah didn't want to confront them, not yet. Ah just wanted to leave this place, go far away where ah can't hurt anyone. My wings started to flap again and ah was back in the air. They were begging to feel lighter, feel like they were part of me.
"Rogue!" Hank yelled out to me, astonished by my wings. "Hank!" Ah cried out to him but didn't stop flying. Ah flew right past them, only inches above the three and headed towards the roof of the mansion. One of Warren's memories of sitting up there looking out over the mansion came to mind.
The guardian angel, who ah might have killed...
Students watched in fear and amusement as ah flew out of the mansion for the roof. Ah struggled to fly straight, looking like a bird with a broken wing. They pointed and stared, one even took a picture. Not knowing how to land properly ah went crashing into the roof skinning my knees and palms on the shingles. Ah began to cry and dug my cursed hands into the roof as it cut through my skin. "No!" Ah screamed. "This can't be happening!" Ah pushed harder against the roof, blood gushing from my palms. Ah didn't want this poisonous skin anymore, ah wanted to rip it off. Ah sat up and started to scratch at my arms and legs.
"GET OFF OF ME! Ah don't want this skin, AH DON'T WANT IT!" Ah screamed scratching myself until ah didn't have enough strength to continue. Ah collapsed and curled up in a fetal position wrapping my wings around me. Ah sobbed and tried to keep Warren's memories out but they wouldn't go. They began to become happy memories of him enjoying soaring through the sky, enjoying the landscaping, and ah started to calm down. They were much more pleasant than Logan's memories...
Ah must have been lying there for an hour when ah felt the bones that had erupted from my body begin to crack. The feathers began to tear away, his wings were leaving me. Ah looked around scared, ah knew ah would have to get off of the roof before ah lost them completely. Ah stood and limped over to the edge of the roof. Ah looked down at my bloodied hands, the hands of a possible murderer, a thief. For a second ah considered waiting for the wings to vanish and jump to my death. All the voices in my head started to act up when ah thought this and ah dug my nails into my temple.
"Why shouldn't ah?" Ah cried out to them. Ah lashed back in forth, this was too much for me to handle. Logan, Magneto, Warren, even Bobby and John were telling me not to. The red journal Hank had given me fell from the pocket of my jacket and I reached out to grab it. Ah managed to grab a hold of it, but ah reached out too far and went sliding down and off of the roof. My wings stretched out and tried to keep me a floatbut too many feathers were being ripped away by the wind as ah fell. They slowed my fall but the ground was approaching too quickly, students screamed as ah went crashing into pool.
Ah hit the water hard, blacking out for a second. Ah tried to use my wings to push myself up but the bone turned to dust, leaving two holes in my back, and my feathers floated away in the water along with the blank notebook pages of the journal Hank had given me. The chlorine burned my cuts and scraps and ah struggled to the top swallowing a lot of water. Ah reached my hand out towards the sky and almost gave up when a strong furry hand grabbed a hold of me and pulled me out of the water. Ah coughed up water and held tightly onto Hank as he held me close. Ah drenched his blue fur and began to choke on the water ah had swallowed, my throat burned and ah couldn't breath. My chest felt like someone was pushing as hard as they could down on it. He placed me on the ground and pushed his mouth against mine, and pressed his hands against my stomach giving me CPR. Ah struggled to get away from him. Ah dug my fingers into the concrete and kicked my legs but he wouldn't let me go. Ah begged my mutation not to take from him as he blew oxygen into my body. Ah felt myself power try to pull and tug at him but ah wouldn't let it.
He pushed my stomach one last time and ah sat up, water spilling from my lungs. Ah coughed and held onto my stinging throat and inched away from Hank the best ah could.
"Rogue! Rogue, look at me! Are you okay?" He reached out to me but ah swatted him away.
"D-- don't..." "I'm not going to hurt you." He kept trying to grab a hold of me. Ah pathetically tried to crawl away from him but he scooped me up in his wet furry arms and looked me straight in the eyes. He looked hurt, offended that ah wouldn't let him help me. Ah don't think I've ever seen him not smiling before. "Listen to me, I'm going to take you to the infirmary." He said and carried me off. Students gathered around us and watched, one was scooping my feathers out of the pool.
"Don't...ah'll hurt you..." Ah told Hank when we got into the mansion, my voice was raspy.
"I'm fine, don't you see? Please Marie, don't worry I'm going to help you." Ah closed my eyes and tried to keep from slipping into sleep.
"Marie? Marie, open your eyes."
"Logan?" Ah whispered and started to cry. He looked confused for a second and then quickened his pace. Ah don't know why ah thought he was Logan for that one-second, but in during that one-second in which ah thought it was him ah felt at peace.
Ah shivered as we approached the infirmary, it was always cold in there, but was even colder now considering ah was soaking wet. Ah was begging to get sick of the infirmary and ah wanted out of there so badly.Hank placed me on a cot and covered my mouth and nose with a plastic thing that released oxygen. Ah opened my eyes ah watched him observe me, he looked concerned seein' my torn skin. Ah think he knew they were self inflicted. He started to peel wet feathers off of me.
Ah looked to my side and saw Warren lying on a cot not far from me. He was breathing, but his eyes were closed. Ah started to cry harder and pulled the plastic thing away from my face.
"Mari...Rogue..." Hank reached for it, but ah guess decided to let me take it off when he pulled away. Ah curled up and cried even more, my tears were cold and they stung when they rolled onto my cheeks. My body shook with sobs and shivers, ah felt so fragile as if ah could break any minute. My mind was fragile, on the brink of a nervous breakdown, if ah hadn't already had one.
Hank looked around him and took his white doctor's coat off the coat rack and walked back over to me. He kept his eyes focused on mine as he removed my jacket, shirt and bra and bundled up me in his jacket. He started to peel off what was left of my soaked cast and went into the other room and returned with a medical gown. "Do you have enough strength to put this on?" He asked. Ah rubbed my eyes and nodded taking it from him. He walked over to Warren and checked the tubes hooked to him while ah removed my wet pants and put the medical gown on under his coat. Ah shivered and laid back down, pullin' the coat tighter around me. My arms and hands were stinging really bad and it took every ounce of restraint to keep from scratching at them.
"Ah ... ah didn't mean to do this. Bobby..."
"Don't worry about that now dear." He said walking back towards me and bandaging my cuts. The clear gel he pot on them was soothing.
"Is he all right?" Ah asked looking at Warren. Ah noticed that his wings were tucked underneath him.
"He's going to be fine." He placed his gloved fingers on my back where my wings had been. The holes had already sealed and there where two scars left behind, to remind me of what ah did, what I had become.
"The scars you experience will be the unforgettable memories of your life..." He whispered to himself, so quite it took me a few minutes to piece the words I did hear together and make them make sense.
Even though the wings hurt, ah wished ah could have kept them. They were so beautiful... Why wasn't ah given wings? Why did ah have to have this tormenting skin? Ah would take anything instead.
Ah looked down at my hands, the bandages Hank had put on covering my cuts and scraps. Storm came in, she looked tired. Ah felt bad for the white haired beauty, her eyes gave her away. She was tired and worn down, stressed out more than most people could ever understand.
"Are you all right Rogue?" She asked me, ah just nodded in return.
"If you don't want to talk about this now, I will come back later."
"Bobby...ah..." Ah looked over at Warren. If ah lied and said it was an accident than when Warren woke up my lie would be discovered. He'd tell them what Bobby did. Ah didn't want Bobby to get in trouble, even after what he did, but had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Bobby pushed me onto of him, and then held me down with his foot. There was nothin' ah could do..."
"I understand..." Storm sighed and rubbed her head.
"Ah'm sorry this happened..."
"It's not your fault Rogue. I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop this from happening." She said. "Can ah go to my room?" Ah asked, ah didn't want to be around anyone. Storm looked over at Hank for his approval and he nodded.
"Yes, go ahead. I'm going to talk to Bobby right now." She stood up and left. Ah scooted off the cot and landed on my feet. My leg felt much lighter without the cast on it. Ah adjusted the medical gown and began to take off Hank's coat.
"Keep it for now. I'll get it from you tomorrow." He said. Ah tried to smile at him but my lips didn't want to move. Ah took a step and my legs started to shake and ah almost fell but Hank caught me.
"If you want I will carry you there." He offered.
"No... ah'll get there by myself. Thank you though..." Ah wobbled slowly towards the door. Before leavin' ah turned and looked at him.
"Thank you, for everything..." A single tear rolled down my cheek.
"Anything for you dear."
Instead of going towards my room ah went to Logan's. Ah had an uncontrollable craving for him. Ah wanted him to be here to hold me, comfort me. Ah needed him so badly right now. Where had he gone? Why did he leave me? Ah slumped down in front of it and it opened causing me to fall backwards inside. At first ah thought maybe he had come back and ah became excited, but not for long. Bobby was sitting on Logan's bed looking down at me as if he were about to cry. Ah started to crawl away from him but he placed his hand on my shoulder, gently this time.
"Your wings are gone..." He said. He picked me up and ah struggled to get out of his arms but ah was too weak. He placed me on Logan's bed and got down on his knees in front of me.
"What do you want?" Ah was scared of him.
"I'm so sorry for what I did. I was just...upset."
"Ah'm not going to forgive you. Ah...ah can't..." Ah looked down at my bandaged arms and hands.
"You don't have to. I just wanted to apologize before I left. Storm told me I needed leave for a while to get my ... head straigh.t"
"Why are you in here?"
"I figured you'd be here. I saw you trying to get the door open earlier. I'm not going to bring him up, this isn't about him right now." Ah knew he meant Logan when he said 'him'. How he got in his room, ah don't know and don't care to find out.
"You should leave." Ah told him coldly.
"I'm sorry Rogue, I really am. I was in love with you, I felt betrayed, I was angry."
"Ah don't want to hear this, just go Bobby." He stood up and leaned in towards me and stole a quick kiss which ah didn't return. Ah was speechless as he left, closing the door behind him. Ah was mentally and physically exhausted, ah sighed and collapsed onto Logan's bed.
Ah breathed in his scent and calmed myself. Ah felt so at home in his room, ah felt more comfortable here than anywhere else in the mansion. Here all my troubles but one seemed to melt away. There was something missing, the most important thing, gone. How long would this room be empty? How much longer would his scent and this warmth stay before it starts fade away?
Ah wasn't going to stick around to find out. Ah locked Logan's door behind me and headed towards my own room. As ah walked down the halls students pointed at me and spoke about me in whispers to each other.
"She's the mutant who stole Angel's wings."
"Isn't she supposed to teach our English class? No way am I going to that class."
"I'm surprised Miss Storm is letting her stay here. I heard she stole another mutant's power while he was sleeping."
"Oh no, she's looking our way! She's going to steal our powers!" The two students ah was listening to looked at me with fear in their eyes and ran way when ah turned towards them.
"You don't understand!" Ah yelled to them, but it was pointless. They just kept running, and ah continued towards my room. Ah don't belong here, even in a place like this ah can't belong. Now ah understand why Logan leaves all the time, ah just hope whatever draws him back doesn't do the same to me. Ah don't want to come and go the way he does.
Ah slammed my door behind me and began shoving my clothes into two duffle bags. Ah grabbed the green box under my desk and took the money from it. Ah don't have nearly enough to be out on my own, but it will just have to do. Ah need to get away from here now. Ah packed the rest of my clothes, a few CDs, and all of my maps. Ah took off the medical gown and Hank's coat and changed into some clean clothes.
Before leaving ah wrote a letter for Hank. My hand was shaking makin' my writing a bit hard to read, but he was smart, he'd be able to read it.
Dear Hank,
Sorry I couldn't stick around, hopefully I'll see you again. You are one of the few people who aren't afraid of my mutation, and I thank
you for that. Even though I've only known you for a short while, it was fulfilling. You are such a kind man, Thanks for everything.
-Marie
Ah put the letter in an envelope and headed towards his room to slip it under his door. Ah walked as fast as I could with my wobbly leg but saw Storm standing outside Hank's room talking with Kitty. Ah quickly backed up against the wall not wanting to be seen. Ah looked around me, more students were headed in my direction so ah pressed the button to the elevator next to me. Ah held my breath as ah waited for it to come up, and practically threw myself in when the doors slid open. Ah pressed whatever button was closest to me and cursed under my breath. It was going to be a lot harder to leave without bein' noticed than ah thought.
When the doors opened to my surprise I was in the basement. Ah peeked outside the doors to see if anyone was around and what ah saw was the last thing I would have ever expected. Ah stepped all the way out of the elevator, dropping my two duffle bags and stood in shock.
"P...Proffessor?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:Logan's POV:
The window to the hotel broken into a thousand pieces and out came the man behind the voice.
"Magneto?" Ah growled in shock. He grinned at me and let a wicked laugh.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Ah growled no longer concentrating on the pain in my stomach but the man before me.
"Did you really think that cure would last? You and those pathetic X-men should have killed me when you had the chance. Wolverine. " He hissed my name and my keys flew across the room and hit the wall hard.
"If that's what you want..." I charged at him, my claws pointed straight for his throat. I was about an inch away when he lifted his hand and used his mutation to paralyze the metal on my bones. I growled and showed him my fangs as I struggled to get out of his grasp."You aren't very clever."
"Go to hell all ready! What do you want with me?" I snarled and he laughed again, amused by my words.
"Well, at least you've gotten it right this time, it is you I want."
"Why don't we fight man to man than? If you want me, fight me with your own bare hands."
"That wouldn't be very fair now would it?" He moved his hand and I flew straight into the wall my keys had hit. Plaster fell all around me. I sensed someone running towards my room, it was the man from down the hall. Magneto let go of his grip on me and I ran towards him as he transformed the sink in the kitchen into a barrier for the door. The metal twisted and turned until it was a thick bar he placed between the door knob and floor. He must not have gotten all of his powers back to not be able to hold me at the same time. Once again he stopped me only inches away from his throat. This time he sent me flying through the door of the bathroom and I crashed into the mirror. It shattered and glass dug into my back. There were loud yells and knocks from outside my door, the noise had gotten some attention."Nosey humans, they always have to get into everyone's business..." He walked into the bathroom and smirked as his mutation pulled at my claws. I groaned in pain as he tried to rip them from my hands. "FUCK!"
"Hmmm... this just isn't quite the same." He stopped pulling at my claws and looked around the room. His eyes glistened for a second and I heard a man yell in pain from out side the door and heard the sounds of bone breaking and flesh tarring. The other two people outside screamed too and I heard them run down the stairs, away from whatever Magneto blindly did to this man. I tired to block out his heart wrenching yells and cries. "What the fuck did you do?"
"You aren't the only one with metal in your body." He remarked as two long metal nails covered in blood shot through the door and came flying towards me. They went right through my chest and I let yet another cry of pain. The nails looked like the kind they stick in your leg or ankle when you break them a certain way. My chest started to heal causing the metal nails to drop loose.
"It's going to be a long revenge with that healing ability you've got."
"Try and get revenge, you can't kill me." I spit blood towards him but missed.
"Oh, but I could. I could easily rip the metal right off those bones of yours all at once, there would be no way to recover quick enough. But if I did that, then it would take all the fun out of torturing you for what you did to me."
He bent my claws backwards and I tried my best to struggle against his power."Y--you don't...errr...have the strength to." I gained a little power over his and let my claws retract back into my skin and this time I was the one who was smirking. His eyes became angry and he concentrated hard enough to pull them right back out, which left him weaker. Despite the pain my smirk still stayed and we both felt his grip on me loosen. I dropped from the mirror and charged at him, three claws went straight through his chest. Through the corner of my eye I saw the knobs on the bathroom sink untwist and fly towards me with a vengeance. I lifted my other arm and stopped with them my claws. He coughed up a bit of blood and glared at me. I didn't have to read his mind to tell he knew he was no match for me at this point. He had planned his attack just a bit too early, fucker.
With one fist of claws already inside him I let the other three rest upon his throat, ready to slice it open any second.
"Why don't you finish me," He coughed up some more blood, " you had no problem murdering Dr. Jean Grey, your hopeless crush..."
His words chilled my bones and made me furious at the same time, I dug my claws deeper into him, but didn't move the ones at his neck.
"You are right, there is no fun in a quick death." I hissed slamming him up against the wall. He grinned and I realized there was someone behind me. I turned and there was a girl with short uneven black hair and gray eyes walking through the broken bathroom doorway.
"Meet...Marrow..." Magneto let out a small laugh between coughs.
The girl glared at me and licked her lips. She walked closer towards me and I dropped Magneto and aimed my claws towards her but before I could dig them into her the metal rod from the shower wrapped around me and pinned me up against the wall. I turned to Magneto who was holding his side gushing blood, and grinning at me. He must have regained some strength while I had him pinned to the wall.
"Let's leave for now Marrow, Wolverine's day will come soon enough." He said struggling to stand up.
"Don't you run away like a coward! You wanted a fight, lets finish this!" My claws sliced through the shower rod but before I could move little Miss Marrow lifted me into the air and pressed me up against the ceiling, with a small movement of her hand. But it wasn't the metal inside me she used to lift me with, it was what was underneath it, the bone, that she controlled. "Some other day Wolverine, this is just a hint of what's to come to you and your X-men friends." He started to hover towards the way he came in, through the window.
The Marrow bitch stayed put, glarin' at me as she held me against the ceiling. There was a sick grin on her lips.
"They don't have shit to do with this, I'm the one you want bastard!" I looked down at the girl and growled at her letting her know she wasn't forgotten.
"Oh don't worry, I'll have you exactly when I want you. But first I think I'll start with the girl." He gave me a very suspicious grin.
"What girl?" I spat.
"The one with the poisonous skin. The one you sacrificed yourself for so easily... She must be important to you."
"Marie?" The fucker is gonna pay for bringing her into this.
"Marie? What a pretty name for a thief. I think Rogue suites her much better."
"You touch her, even come close to her, I'll slice you into a thousand pieces you fucker." I haven't been this pissed off in a long while. I felt like I was going to burst I was so furious.
"I'll be seeing you again soon Wolverine. We'll finish this then, I'll be looking forward to it. Come now Marrow."
"I thought we came here to kill him, just because your a weakling doesn't mean we have to postpone the job old man."
"Talk like that to me again and we'll see who's the weakling." Magneto said calmly.
She pushed me into the ceiling a little harder and snapped both my legs in half. I howled in pain and anger.
"It would be much more interesting to watch what Magneto's got in mind for your girlfriend. See you again handsome."
She smiled at me and followed Magneto out through the window. I fell from the ceiling and landed in the tub, begging for my mutation to healmy legs quickly so I could kill that fucker and his bitch. If he even thinks about hurting Marie I'll cause him more pain than he could ever imagine in the sickest thoughts. The same goes for that girl as well. They want a fight, they've got one. Fuck with Marie, you fuck with me first.
Outside I heard gun shots and then the sound of bones cracking as Marrow laughed with sick desperation. My ears ached with their excruciating hollers and screams. This went on for a while as I pushed myself up and out of the tub and landed in a heap on the floor. "FUCK! You bastard!" The girl was having a field day with all those innocent people.
My mutation was fixing me, but taking it's good 'ol time. By the time I crawled to the door they were healed enough to stand on and I stumbled out the front door. Just as I had expected there was a body lying in a pool of blood, the guy's leg ripped apart where the nails had been snatched away. I looked away and stumbled down the stairs and into the lobby. No one was inside, they were all lyin' broken and dead outside in front of the motel. It looked as if Magneto and his bitch has already left the scene. I ran outside as fast as I could and chased his trail of blood through the snowy forest until it disappeared. I looked around frantically for him cursing him. I ran until my muscles burned and blood bubbled. And then I ran some more. Still they were no where to be found, they probably took off in a jet or something. I howled loudly, it echoed through the snowy forest, and I sliced and diced up the nearest tree until it was only splitters. Then I made my way back to the blood covered town.
When I got back the town's two ambulances were there and every one in the town tried to help the wounded. Every one was in a panic screaming and crying they didn't notice me take my stuff and leave. I rushed to the empty garage where my truck's window was being worked on and jumped in starting the engine. The window was still broken and it was just as cold inside as out, but I didn't care. I just knew I needed to get back to the mansion before Magneto got there. I needed Marie.

:Rogue's POV:
The sound of my bags hittin' the floor caught his attention and he turned to towards me.
"Proffessor? Is that really you?" Ah trembled not believing what ah saw. He just stared at me, an expressionless face. A playing card, the king of hearts, come out of nowhere and floated right past me. Ah watched it in confusion as it landed next to the Professor and to my least expectations turned red and blew up.
"Professor!" Ah screamed and ran towards him but when the smoke cleared he was no longer there, and no longer the Professor. Mystique transformed from the Professor into her blue form and grabbed me from behind bringing one arm around my waist and the other across my throat to where ah couldn't move. "You bitch!" Ah struggled to get free.
"Be quite!" She pushed me closer towards her.
"Ah could kill you right now, you know that! Let me go!" Honestly ah could have just turned my mutation on, but ah didn't want another person inside my head. Not right then, ah needed a break. I'd rather her kill me than have to absorb another person's mutation, memories, dreams, thoughts. Ah wouldn't be able to handle anymore at this point.
A man caught my attention as he walked through the cloud of smoke and into my eye sight. He wore a brown trench coat, had reddish brown hair, and red on black eyes. Ah found myself attracted to him. He looked every calm and even had a grin on his face as he walked towards us, Mystique backed up against the wall.
"Pretty girl you gots there." He said, his accent thick with Cajun. He shuffled a few cards in his hands. His hands were gloved leaving only his fingers exposed. "Who are you?" Ah asked as he got closer to us, Mystique's breathing picked up and ah could smell her fear. This guy wasn't with her, but against her.
"Gambit's de name." He placed one of his exploding cards in-between my throat and Mystique's arm. It began to glow red and Mystique pushed me away from her and it blew up. Ah rolled on the ground and managed to stand up and glared at the handsome Cajun.
"You tried to kill me!" Ah glared at him.
"Aww, Chere. Gambit knew you was not gonna get hurt."
"Fuck you!" Ah yelled at him and looked around for Mystique through the smoke."Where did she go?" She said standing up, but no longer was she blue. Now she looked exactly like me, sounded like me. The Cajun, Gambit or whatever, looked at us both confused, but managed to keep even his confused expression calm. "Two pretty ladies Gambit sees." "Hurry, get her!" Mystique said pointing towards me.
"What? No way!" Ah pointed back at her.
"Which does Gambit choose?" He scratched his head.
"Hurry, it's her! Ah have to go get the others." Mystique said and started to walk off flashing me a quirky smirk.
"Wait a minute! You aren't goin' anywhere!" Ah leaped towards her and tackled her onto the ground.
"Stupid girl!" She hissed at me and ah held her down as hard as ah could.
"Gambit likes dis." He reached his hands into his pockets, leaned back, and watched as Mystique and ah struggled with each other on the floor.
"If you let me go now ah won't kill you, stubborn girl." She whispered in my ear. Ah snarled at her and threatened to touch her, bringing my hand close to her face. She transformed into Logan and ah stared in shock, almost believing what ah saw.
"Dis fun no more." Gambit said yawning and fiddling with a card.
"Rogue, it's me. Wolverine." Ah felt my grip loosen on her as ah fell into her trap. My body went limp and ah was memorized by his faux eyes.
"Logan..." Ah whispered. Ah knew it wasn't him, but seeing him there underneath me made me loose all logical thought. She moved her hands out from mine and ran them along my back. Ah found myself moaning. The voices in my head told me ah was being tricked, this wasn't really Logan.
But my eyes wanted to believe it was him. She leaned her face in towards mine to kiss me.
"Gambit changed his mind!" He watched intensely, knowing that it was really Mystique who was coming on to me. She pulled me closer to her and pressed her lips against mine. Something inside me snapped and ah realized that this wasn't Logan no matter how hard ah tried to believe it was. Ah pulled away from her and slapped her on the face, hard. She morphed back into her blue skin and there was a pink hand print on her cheek.
"Don't fuck with my head you bitch!" Ah tried to yank her hands away from my back but she grabbed a hold of my wrists and pulled me off from on top of her. She flipped me over, my stomach facing the floor, stood up and held my arms above me.
"I'm not playing games anymore..." She said stepping on my back pressing me against the floor with my arms being stretched as she held onto my wrists. Gambit leaped onto her and pushed her away from me, ah collapsed onto the floor. They stared at each other tryin' to figure out each other's next move.
"What's going on down here?" Ah heard Storm's voice and saw her run towards us. "Mystique?... R...Remy?" Storm examined the two people across from me.
Who the hell is Remy? This was beyond confusing. Did Storm know this Gambit/Remy guy?
"Ororo, long time no see! Dis blue lady is tryin' to get in der." He pointed to the door that lead to Cerebro. "Mystique... I thought you were human now." Storm's eyes became white.
"Obviously not." Mystique hissed and Gambit ran towards me, kneeling down beside me and scooping me up in his arms.
"What do you think you're doin'?" Ah protested as he held me close to his chest and tightened his grip on me. Ah felt the air begin to get colder and colder, he must have known what Storm was doin.
"Wait..." Mystique said, " Magneto is going to try to kill all of us." She declared. Storm's eyes changed to their normal color and she walked closer towards Mystique. The air started to change back to its normal tempture but Gambit kept his hold on me.
"You can let me go now." Ah grunted at him and he gave me a grin.
"Gambit likes de pretty lady dis close, you do too Chere. Gambit sees you blush." He placed his hand on my check, and if ah wasn't blushing then ah certainly was now. Ah pushed him away from me and turned away crossing my arms.
"Why should I believe you? Why are you trying to get into Cerebro?" Storm demanded.
"I needed to find where Magneto is, I lost him somewhere in Canada. I know he's going to come here, and I plan on killing him before he gets here. I was hoping I could do this without any interruptions." She turned her eyes towards Gambit and sent him a chilling glare.
"How do you know this?"
"I over heard him talking with the Brotherhood. Listen, I don't give a damn about you and your X-men. I just need to find out where he is before he gets here so I can kill him myself"
"Why are you trying to kill him, I thought you were on his side? Loyal to the brotherhood?"
"Not any more, he abandoned me I want his life for doing this to me. Just let me use Cerebro and I will leave you alone."
"You can't!" Ah yelled at her and she turned her attention towards me, " Even if you could we wouldn't let you. You attacked me"
"What she says is true, only the Professor could use Cerebro." Storm said, her stern look showing a hint of sadness mentioning the Professor. Mystique cursed under her breath.
"Dis Magneto fellow, he after Ororo and Chere here?" Gambit asked Mystique.
"Stop callin' me Chere. What's that mean?" Ah balled my fist and he winked at me. He sure was annoying... and charming for a swap rat.
"Yes, for the third time. His mutation has returned, just like mine has and he's after revenge. Now let me go, I have to find him." She hissed.
"You can't kill him by yourself." Ah remarked.
"Watch me." She muttered.
"How do you plan on doing so?" Storm asked, also not convinced Mystique could stop Magneto on her own.
"None of your business." She said and tried to walk away but Storm blocked her, moving in front of her.
"Make it our business. Join us against him."
What? Did ah really just hear that? Was Storm loosing her mind?
"Are you insane? Storm!" Ah pleaded.
"No, I'm not. We'll need all the help we can get, if what you say is true." Mystique laughed at Storm's words.
"You think I'd stay here and defend your school? You must have frozen a few brain cells a minute ago." Mystique walked by Storm, nudging her with her shoulder as she passed. She turned and gave me a wicked grin.
"Where else do you have to go? If you aren't with the brotherhood anymore, like you claim." Storm persisted and ah closed my eyes tryin' to think. This was pointless, and rather crazy. Gambit dug around in his pockets and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He placed one in-between my lips while my eyes were closed. Ah opened them as he placed his finger on the tip, it turned red and lit the cigarette. He placed one in his own mouth and did the same. Ah mumbled a thanks and inhaled the much needed nicotine. "Anything for you Chere."
"My name is Rogue. Stop callin' me that."
"Anything for you, love." He grinned at me and ah couldn't help but smile myself. Ah looked back over towards Storm and Mystique, Mystique was debating Storm's offer.
"I don't want to join your team as a X-men, if that's what you're asking."
"No. I don't trust you enough, even if I wanted to. But I don't, I'm offering you to fight by our side when the time comes. You can do what you please afterwards. Unless what you are saying is not the truth." "Well, it is, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time coming here. Either believe me, or move out of my way. Magneto is going to pay for what he did to me." She balled her fists till they were white and anger radiated off of her. She's either a really good actress or she means what she says.
Ah think I'll place my money on acting, but Storm wasn't.
"Then fight against him with us. You may be strong, but you are nothing against Magneto. You of all people should know that."
"If I do..."
"What? C'mon, this is ridiculous! Just let her go and try to stop Magneto on her own. We don't need her." Ah couldn't stop myself from interrupting. "We will need her, just as she needs us. We need you too Rogue." Storm said looking at my bags across the room. Ah had forgotten that ah was wanting to leave and felt guilty. Storm really did need me, as a teacher, a X-men. Ah started to forget the events from earlier as ah looked into Storm's eyes. She did need me, ah was being selfish to leave.
"I don't need you, but I agree that you will need me if I can't track him down before he gets here. If I stay here and fight with you, than you must promise that I get to kill him. He will die at my hands, not any of your X-men's, or yours." She reached her hand out and Storm shook it.
"It's a promise." Ah stood up and started to leave, this women who has been our enemy from the begging had just attacked me and now she was going to be stayin' in the same building as me. Maybe I should go.
"Rogue, will you stay?" Storm asked as ah walked by her. Mystique smirked at me, finding my wanting to leave amusing. "Ah guess..." Ah continued to walk away and Storm smiled. It was nice to her smile, it had been a while since he had.
"Wait for Gambit, Chere!" He got to his feet and chased after me but stopped when he got closer to Ororo.
"Remy! It's been a long, long time! How'd you end up here?" She hugged the Cajun and Mystique rolled her eyes.
"Remy followed de blue lady here. She's a suspicious lookin' one." He winked at Mystique and she quickly made her way beside me.
"Care to show me where I'll be staying?" She asked, getting joy out of messin' with me. Ah didn't say anything to her, just kept walking, picked my bags up, and waited for the elevator.
"Why didn't you touch me? You could have killed me, why didn't you?" She pressed.
"Ah don't want filth like you in my head." The elevator door slide open and walked inside, Mystique stayed and watched me before the door slide shut.
Ah crumbled up the good bye note to Hank and threw my bags down on the floor when I entered my room. So much for leaving, ah am such a sucker. All Storm had to do was look at me to persuade me to stay. Welp, everything happens for a reason. Ah rubbed the scars on my back where my wings had been. Ah suppose Mystique is here for a reason, although there was still something fishy about her. Ah had a feeling sheknew she couldn't use Cerebro, hangin' out with Magneto and all, she knows there's no way she could. She was here for some other reason. If Magneto was comin', ah was going to need to train a bit. Too bad my sparring partner wasn't there... Logan, why do you always run when things get tough? You're such a coward... It feels like you've been gone forever...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:Logan's POV:
I should have never left. So many 'Should haves'. I should have called Storm and the others to warn them while I was in that shithole town. Now I'm back on this damned road in the middle of nowhere. I should have bought one of those fuckin' cell phones.
I was driving my shitty truck as fast as it could go, but the icy roads weren't helpin' me one bit. It would probably be a little under a week before I was back in New York. Fuck, fuck, fuck! Please be safe Marie, I'll be there as soon as I can. Where's a fucking pay phone when you need one? Just my fuckin' luck...
I began to think of everyone back at the mansion. For some reason a memory from last Christmas came to mind...
---------------
The mansion was almost empty, most of the students had gone home for the holiday. The only ones at the mansion Christmas morning were Marie, Bobby, the Professor, Scott, and myself. Jean was somewhere under the icy waters of Alkaline Lake...
I had woken up early from a nightmare that morning so I went to the kitchen for a Xmas, Haha Xmas for the X-men. Okay, that was a pathetic joke... Anyway, I needed a Xmas beer, despite it being six in the morning. The hall ways were warm and cozy with heat blazing from the air vents. The windows were covered in frost and snow covered the mansion grounds outside. I felt so ... at peace walking down the halls. It was a strange feeling, but it was right. I felt like I belonged, that this was where I needed to be. Even though I had never ever imagined me in a situation like this ... part of a family... I couldn't deny the sense of peace and contentment, it was almost too good to be true. I felt happy, almost complete.
When I approached the kitchen I felt a strong presence. A familiar one. The door was open and I peeked inside seeing who was there. It was Marie sitting on the counter with a coffee in hand, steam rising from the mug, and she was looking outside the window in a daze. The lights were on but were dimmed down giving the room a glow to it. The light radiated off of her skin, making her glow beautifully as well. I remember falling into a daze myself, watching her, her back towards me. I watched her body move slowly as she breathed, and felt a strong desire to wrap my arms around her from behind and push her against my chest.
I let out a breath of air I didn't realize I was holding and she turned around. At first her expression was sad, painful for a slight second, almost too short for me to comprehend, and then she quickly followed it up with a smile. "Hey Logan. You're up early." She said setting her coffee down and un crossing her legs, now they dangled from counter.
"So are you." I managed to move my own legs, bringing myself next to her. "Ah couldn't sleep."
"Yeah, me either kid." I sat down on the counter as well and took a swig of her coffee.
"Yuck, I forgot you liked creme and sugar in your coffee. It's not coffee if you add all that junk in it." She laughed at me enjoying the look on my face, and then turned to look out the window again. We sat there in silence for a long time looking out into the snow and passed the coffee back and forth, I sipped from it just to taste her lips on the mug.
I remember feeling so content ... until her boyfriend came in. My blood boiled and my heart sank at the same time when I watched him walk up behind her and press her back against this chest, his arms around her waist. He did what I had so badly craved to do. The Wolverine inside howled and my claws itched to release and pry the boy away from her. I wanted to slice off his hands as they held MY Marie.
My morning was ruined, so easily. Just like that, and I felt like shit. Felt stupid for feeling the way I had earlier. I don't think Marie even noticed me as I slid off the counter and left.
----------------------------
After remembering the way I had felt before Bobby had came into the picture, I knew that if I didn't stop Magneto that I would never have those feelings again. If Magneto destroyed Marie ... my family, my... home ... I would be back to Wolverine. There would be no more Logan, and not even a hint of happiness. I would no longer love, I would be alone, and the road would be my only home. It frightened me for a second, thinkin' back to how my life used to be before I met Marie. Before I met the X-men...
Magneto, I will kill you for this. You won't take anything away from without a fight. You've made a huge mistake fucking with me, I will have your head for that, bastard.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:Rogue's POV:
"Watch out Chere!" Gambit took a hit with the bright green paint while pushin' me out of the way. My bad leg had slowed me down.
"What did ah tell you! Stop callin' me Chere!" Ah yelled at him as he laid down covered in paint. "Rogue, Remy, pay attention!" Storm yelled across the Danger Room.
Immediately after the encounter with Mystique and discovering that Magneto was out for revenge of the X-men, Storm had us all training. Even Mystique was there, watching on the sidelines as we dodged fake lasers. The lasers where actually green paint when they hit, almost everyone was covered with it. Colossus, Storm, Mystique and ah were the only ones not. My bad leg was makin' it a lot harder for me to dodge, and ah would have been hit if it weren't for the charming Cajun.
"Gambit take hit for love, love give kiss in return, eh?" He stuck his lips out and made kissing noises. Ah rolled my eyes and limped away when Mystique's yellow eyes caught my attention. Ah found myself turning and looking at them, they glistened and watched me back intensely. Ah couldn't take my eyes from hers, and a green ball of paint hit me in the back causing me to fall down. She smirked at me and Storm got onto to me for not paying attention. Ah cursed and left the Danger Room.
Before Storm had called us down for training, she had a meeting to introduce the X-men to Gambit and announced that Mystique would be staying with us until Magneto attacked. No one liked the idea of Mystique, but she didn't seem to mind the weird looks and protests.
It turned out that Storm and Gambit were close friends a long while back. Gambit was a really good fighter, he would charge the cards he carried around and use them as weapons when the exploded. Ah watched Jubilee follow him around and laughed to myself. He didn't seem to pay her any attention though, which was interestin'.
Ah went outside into the night and kneeled down next to the pool. Ah ran my hands through the water trying to recover the few feathers and note book paper that was left behind. Ah shoved what I managed to retrieve into my jean pocket and went to have a quick smoke next to the fountain. This time it was empty, Bobby was gone, Kitty was in the infirmary with Warren, and Jubilee was probably following Gambit around like a lost puppy. Ah relaxed sitting down and shoving a cigarette in my mouth. It reminded me of the night Logan had found me out here, when we played in the fountain. Although almost everything reminded me of him nowadays. Ah dug around in my pockets but couldn't find my liter.
Ah cursed and moaned, I was tired and aggravated with everything and this was the last thing I needed."Need a lit, Chere?" Gambit walked up out of nowhere, and ah was actually thankful to see him.
"Yeah, badly." Ah moaned.
"A beautiful lady likes you, don't deserve to be angry." He pressed his finger gently at the end of the cigarette. The way he looked straight into my eyes sent shiver up my spine and my heart beat skipped. It was almost as if he had looked right through me, seeing and knowing every thing I've ever done. It was an unsettling, yet somehow arousing feeling.
"Easy for you to say. You always seem to be calm and collected." Ah said in-between puffs and he sat down next to me.
"Remy knows anger well, and I don't likes it. Makes your eyes look like dis." He pointed to his eyes, red on black. "Ah like your eyes..." Ah remarked, looking into them. They didn't look like the eyes of an angry man. Being around Logan, ah know what eyes looked like when a person is angry. Ah miss his angry hazel eyes...
Gambit, Remy, whatever his name is, placed his hand on my check and caressed under my eye with his thumb.
"Anger makes Cher...Rogue's eyes hard 'n gray." Ah found myself lost in his gaze, ah didn't want to turn away. We stared at each other until an ash from my cigarette fell and landed on my hand. Ah yelped and yanked away shaking the ash off my skin. "Dammnit..." There was a red mark left behind. Remy took my hand in his and brought it up to his mouth. He blew on it, making it feel a little better. "Thanks..." He looked up and smiled at me, left a kiss on my hand, and got up to leave.
"Where are you goin'?" Ah asked.
"Do you know where Remy's room might be? Dis place is too big to remember." Ah smiled watching him observe the mansion with awe and confusion. Ah got up and linked my arm with his, making him grin, and walked him inside and towards his room.
"You know when ah first came here Logan and I spent hours searchin' up and down the halls, tryin' to figure out where everything was." "
Who dis Logan? Boyfriend?" He arched his eyebrow, but nearly as cute lookin' as Logan's when he did it.
"Oh, no... He's my best friend. Hopefully one day you'll get to meet him. Ah'm not too sure if you'd like him though, he doesn't get along with people very well."
"Remy gets along wit you very, very well. Maybe Remy can be your boyfriend?" He looked down at me and smiled. Ah chuckled and stopped in front of a room just one hall down from mine.
"Well, here's your room Remy." Ah pulled my arm from his and turned to walk away but her placed his hand on my wrist stopping me.
"Where's yours?" He asked.
"Not far from here." Ah teased. "Nice ta know Chere's close by. G'night love." He smiled at me and kissed me on the forehead causing me to blush and entered his room.
Ah yawned becoming exhausted, the past two days had taken a lot out of me. Ah decided to go check on Warren, who would be getting out of the infirmary tomorrow, and see what Hank was up to. Ah thought about how all of the classes had been canceled until the whole Magneto things was over. Ah was grateful that I wouldn't have to teach, the two students who had whispered about me had really gotten to me.
Still...if Magneto was coming for us, would we be able to stop him? Ah shivered and tasted something metallic in my mouth when I thought about Magneto. Hopefully Hank will give me some pain killers to numb my brain for a while...too much was goin' on up there...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I did make up my own Mutant. I'm not sure if there are any mutants in the comics who control bones, or any named Marrow. But if there are, then let me know! hehehe.
Please let me know what you think and if there is anything I should change or fix. Thank you so much for the reviews!
(oh just to let ya'll know I changed the song at the end of Chapter 5 to 'Boys Don't Cry' by The Cure. I thought it fit the situation between
Marie and Logan better) If ya'll have any song suggestions in mind that relate to Logan and Marie please let me know. :)
