X-Men: Restoration

Chapter Twenty Seven: Anna Marie Darkholme

Rogue didn't know how she had gotten in this mess of a conspiracy. She had just gone on a little road trip a few months ago wanting to escape the X-Mansion. She just couldn't stand people being around her twenty four seven. She wanted to be alone. After a few talks with the Professor that she would be leaving briefly, arguments with an insistent Kitty, and death glares from Logan; she took the jeep, riding happily with the hood down cross country not even knowing her destination. She loved the thrill of the spontaneity the trip had but that ended quickly.

She was captured at a rest stop in Pennsylvania. She was walking out of the bathroom and someone shocked her with a device that paralyzed her entire body. She was stuffed in the back of a van and driven to that place. She was then experimented on…and had small metal needles inside her that moved when a signal was sent to it. She could never stop crying from the pain. She couldn't control her own actions and moved at their command. The mechanical motions her body went through were agonizing, each step and each flick of the hand hurt more each time. They sealed her mouth shut because they couldn't bear to hear her scream.

She would kill them. Because her pain was one thing but what they used her for was another. They used her as a weapon against experimented mutants. She tried and tried not to move when they called for her. She struggled against their control but it was hopeless. She had touched and sucked the life out of so many poor mutant children. She swallowed their powers and took away everything…all of their memories. They were living inside her mind, crying from the lack of love, control, and just being plain scared for their lives; their distorted mutations festering there. He tried to draw the mutations out to use for his own likely but with each attempt, he failed to get inside her head. She still controlled her mind and she had many months to think about ways to make him die a slow, painful death.

That monster loved to watch her in pain because the only thing she could control was her eyes. She cried each time; he sent her out to do what he wanted. All of the experimented mutants called her the Dark Nurse and she definitely deserved that name. She didn't have enough self-control to fight it. With all of the voices of desperation inside her head, it was hard to fight anything off but that was just an excuse. She first thought that dying would be the best option but that was the easy way out. No, she was going to make them all pay. There was no way they were getting away with this.

For many months, she had lost hope but then…She had seen Logan and the new recruits fight for her and the others but again she had no self-control. She was aching to say something to them but to no avail she couldn't. She had even fought against them. She was so used. She was happy that many of them escaped but still upset that she couldn't do the same. Did they see the desperation in her eyes or did they see the monster she had become?

She saw that the monster had accelerated his plans after her friends had broken in. He was getting worried. She saw him take over Ella as she had done with her. But he did something worse to Ella that Rogue couldn't stand for. He had her memories wiped clean and replaced with artificial ones that made him her father. It was disgusting. She had seen them hug many times. She wanted desperately to revert Ella but of course, she couldn't move. She had to watch it all in misery.

But no, she couldn't handle anything else but he wanted to torture her even more by saying he wasn't the mastermind behind everything. No, there had to be a stupid twist in the dang plot. She watched with her eyes burning in anger as she saw Magneto rise out of a platform in the middle of the floor. She heard the voices in her mind screaming at the sight. She was silent, hearing their anguish.

She began to clap mechanically at the spectacle. What a sick place. Her stomach turned several times, seeing her old enemy standing before her with a grin of pleasure. He shot his eyes in her direction, reading and analyzing everything about her.

"Ah, this is your incredible team. You have done very well Gregory. Now, we can give all the people what they want. A cure. Let's move forward with the plans and let this fact settle with your recruits, since a few of them still don't comprehend what the plan is exactly." Magneto said with giddiness in his voice. She burned with desire to dig her nails his face.

Dr. Bamback darted his eyes toward Rogue, smiling with pleasure in her agony. She was going to kill him.

"Oh, Rogue. You have developed your powers so much and such control over them too." Magneto said to her. "Oh, I shouldn't say control since I can control your every movement now even without those petty computers." He lifted his arm and she stood up instantly. She felt the jolt go through her body. Stupid metal needles. "You really want to know why I did this all…don't you? The Acolytes and I have been building an empire to rule over the world as the elite mutants. The humans had already gotten rid of the ones who hide in shame and the ones who defend the nonmutants themselves. It was easy and I didn't even have to lift a finger. I just brokered a deal with Dr. Bamback and everything else fell into place. Charles can't even know about this because I have blocked out every telepathic attack that comes into this building. Charles looks so desperate trying to find you. " He laughed.

He examined all of them in the room from top to bottom. "You all have potential. But what ails you?" He pointed to Ella who suddenly looked sick. She was holding her head, her nose scrunched up as she let out a small cry of pain. Rogue couldn't turn towards her to see her fully but it looked serious.

"Nothing. Nothing. It's just a headache." She gasped and finally stood up straight.

"I want you all in the lab; we are going to run a few tests." Magneto said letting them lead the way. Rogue just stood there, where Magneto left her. Magneto walked up in front of her.

"You'll learn to enjoy it, Rogue. Just as your mother did, she's faring very nicely in Genosha." He laughed, dragging her with his powers over metal. She followed unwilling thinking of all the things she could do to stop this, but her head was filled with the voices, crying in hopelessness.


I hope this makes everything clearer. I know how well received the character Rogue was so I decided to dedicate a shortie chap to her view of it all. Hope you liked it.
