Chapter 2: Swim
Memories like bullets
they fired at me from a gun
-"Swim" by Jack's Mannequin
She didn't know what the hell was happening. She opened her eyes to find herself in a tank full a strange fluid. She was hooked up to tubes and covered in bandages.
Where am I? (A/N: They don't think in accents, just so's you know. 'Cuz I hate typing accents)
The room around the tank was white, all white. There was a gurney of sorts, and a moving table with various sharp tools. She would've shuddered if she wasn't basically immobile.
There was a strange feeling of numbness over her body, except for her hands which felt like they were on fire.
What's happening to me?!
Suddenly, something burst from her knuckles and she opened her mouth in a silent scream of torturous pain. She frantically tried to move her arms, resulting in the shattering of the glass tank surrounding her.
She broke free and let out a real scream, full of terror, shock, and pain, excruciating pain. Alarms went off overhead, alerting the building of her deeds.
Through blurred vision she managed to get up and run down numerous halls, never knowing where she was heading; only knowing that she had to get out. She didn't run into anyone, and made it out the door and into a forest.
She stopped beside a tree and panted, before looking at her hands and seeing the source of her agony.
Claws. There were metal claws protruding from her knuckles and covered in blood. Her blood. She wanted to shriek in horror, but she had enough sense to realize that this would alert people of her whereabouts. And there was no way she was going back there. No way in hell.
She kept running, and running, and running until she couldn't breathe.
And then she blacked out.
"Rogue?! Rogue, wake up! It's just a nightmare Rogue, you've gotta, like, wake up!"
She sat up in bed, startled.
"Kitty?"
"Yeah, it's totally me! But you don't look so good! You were screaming just a second ago! Are you, like, totally okay?"
"Ah.. Ah'm fahne(fine) Kitty. Just a dream."
"Alright, I'll buy it this time. Just, like, get dressed. We've got a Danger Room session with Logan in half an hour!"
"Really? Gawd, that's gonna suck."
She quickly got out of bed and raced to the bathroom, shoved Kurt out, locked the door and then slid down it until she was crouched on the floor.
How the hell am I gonna face Logan now? That was his memory and now I feel like I've intruded on part of his life.
Subconsciously, she looked down at her hands and found metal claws poking out.
A/N: Gosh I need to write longer chapters... Anywho, I just wanted to put this out. Remy will come in eventually, once I decide how I want his past to be... Rogue's like 17 or 18 I suppose and Remy will be about 21-23. Never read any of the comics, only seen Evo. R&R!
