Chapter 7 Imaginary

Rouge layed in the bed that she had been laying in for the past few weeks due to her powers losing control. While she lay in her sleep she dreamt of all the people she had touched. She dreamt about Mystique's past, Kurt's past, Kitty's past, and even most of the Brotherhood's past. Out of all of the people that she had touched the past that stuck out the most in her mind was Lance's.

I linger in the doorway

With alarm clock screaming

Monsters calling my name

Let me stay where the wind will

Whisper to me

Where the raindrops as they're

Falling tell the story

Lance's memories stuck out the most in Rouge's mind the most because of all the dreams she had of him weren't happy at all. One dream she had of him was when he was still living in Deerfield with his foster parents. In the dream Lance is in his room reading at a desk in his normal clothes when suddenly a man comes in with a smug look on his face and looking quite drunk. "What…areyoudoing…youstupid…mutie," the man slurred.

"Nothing," Lance said not looking at him.

"Don't get smart with me," the man said grabbing him by the collar on his vest and throwing him practically on the other side of the room. The walked over to where he was and started beating him up with a belt. That's where the dream ends and where Rouge wants it to end. But one dream she actually wanted it to come true.

In my field of paper flowers

And candy clouds of lullaby I lay inside

Myself for hours and watch my purple

Sky fly over me

Rouge sat in a field under a willow tree with a blue dress on that went just a little past her legs. She watched the clouds above her head until she heard the grass behind her shift. It was Lance walking slowly up to her, he kneeled right behind her and put his hands on her shoulders. He started stroking her shoulders and kissing her neck. Rogue turned her head so she was facing him and she lightly kissed him on the cheek.

Don't say I'm not in touch

With this rampant chaos-

Your reality

I know well lies lay beyond my sleeping

Refuge

The nightmare I built my own world

To escape.

Lance touched her face and Rogue turned so her whole body was facing him. She touched his face and to her astonishment nothing happened. Lance smiled and kissed her on the lips. "I don't want this to end," Rogue whispered lightly in Lance's ear.

"It doesn't have to," Lance said smiling. Rogue put her head down on his chest and started to cry.

In my field of paper flowers

And candy clouds of lullaby I lay inside

Myself for hours and watch my purple

Sky fly over me

Lance kissed her on the head and got up. "I have to leave now," Lance said with a frown on his face. Rouge still on her knees grabbed Lance's hand before he could turn around and leave.

"Please, don't leave me," Rogue said crying and begging. Lance bent down and said, "I will always be with you and I will always love you no matter what." Lance let go of Rouge's hand and started to walk away. Rouge got up and watched him leave she started running toward him. "Lance no wait, Lance! Please stop," she said running toward him. But as she ran everything around her dissolved no more beautiful skies, no fields, no trees just nothing.

Swallowed up in the sound

Of my screaming cannot

Cease for the fear of silent nights

Oh how I long for the deep sleep

Dreaming

The goddess of imaginary

lights

Rouge woke up screaming in the bed in the underground mansion. She breathed hard and took a sip of water that was on a side table. "Rouge?" a fimiliar voice asked. Rouge turned and there in the doorway was Lance standing there with a boquet of flowers. Rogue smiled and Lance walked over and sat on her bed. "These are for you," he said handing her the flowers.

"Thank you, they're beautiful, Lance," she said as Lance blushed.
