Second part. I'm kind of annoyed that I added this event so early. 'Cuz I don't know what to do after it. Hmm… any ideas? I'm open for suggestions.
Chapter 8: Permanent Part 2
Is this the moment where
I look you in the eye?
Forgive my
Broken promise that
You'll never see me cry

"Rogue, darlin', can you hear me?" Logan asked Rogue quietly.
It'd been an hour since her screaming attack, and she had since become silent and unresponsive once more. Everyone was worried, and was taking shifts by her bed to make sure that nothing happened. No one had succeeded in getting through to her since Professor Xavier's trip into her mind.
Remy stood outside the door to the Med Bay, looking through the window at Rogue and the man she considered her father. He wondered why he even cared about the girl with two-colored hair. He didn't even know her. But when he saw her fighting Wanda and getting hurt, something had just flared up inside him and he knew he had to do something.
"Get out!" psych-Logan roared at psyche-Sabertooth and Mystique.
"This is none of your concern Logan," Mystique said.
"The hell it isn't!"
"You wanna fight, runt?" Sabertooth growled.
"Bring it on."
"No! We've got to, like, help Rogue!" Kitty screamed.
But Sabertooth and Wolverine were already fighting. Mystique calmly approached Rogue's crying form.
"You should listen to us Rogue. We know what's best for you. Those pathetic X-Men want peace, but you can rule the world, if that is what you want. You have the power, Rogue, let us show you how to use it."
"Have there been any changes Hank?" Logan asked uncertainly.
"No, Logan. She's stable, completely recessed into her mind. Her body is fine."
"What can we do Hank?"
"I don't know, Logan, I don't know."
Remy, having heard their discussion, sighed. How were they supposed to help the girl if only her mind was the slightest bit affected by her condition? They couldn't wake her up, and the resident psychics couldn't get into her mind again.
Maybe all they could do was wait it out and make sure that no harm came to her if she happened to have another "attack" (as they were calling it).
But no, Remy LeBeau, master thief and conqueror of hearts, would not stand for that.
He would save her. He swore on all things good and holy, he would save her.
"Look at me, Rogue!" Mystique screamed.
Rogue had been looking at her feet, silent tears streaming down her face. She doesn't want to take over the world. She doesn't want to listen to this woman.
Mystique grabbed her chin and forced her to look up.
"I am your mother! You look at me when I tell you to! And don't cry, you b----! Crying is weak!"
Rogue looked at her coldly.
"Forgive me, mother," she spat out.
Mystique only smiled with an evil glint in her yellow eyes.
(A/N: So that's it for this chapter. Sorry about the late post, I had writer's block.)
