Gambit watched in terror as Rogue took off in the rockets direction. "ROGUE!"
Everyone turned form the rocket. They all watched Rogue run high and high, then she jumped and started fly.
"What is she doing?" Jean asked.
"Rogue, what are you doing?" Scott asked.
"Ah'm the only one that cahn stop it, Scott. Ah have the antivirus." Rogue replied.
Everyone's eyes widened with realization. Rogue was sacrificing herself to save them all. She was the only one would do it.
"Rogue, get back here. We'll find another way." Logan ordered.
"There's no time Logan. Just trust meh." Rogue said. And then there was silence.
"Vat do ve do? Ve can't let her to zhis." Kurt said.
Logan turned and started running. "Get to the fighter!"
Despite their powers, they reached the fighter and were air born in two minutes. Everyone watched the sky intently for the rocket and Rogue. However, without Orror's powers, the clouds continued to block their radar and their vision.
"Any sight of them?" Logan asked.
"Nothing! Oh man, I hope she's alright." Kitty said.
"Keep looking! We're not giving up." Scott ordered.
"Tahmes up." came a soft whisper.
"Rogue?" Gambit asked.
Suddenly, the rocket blew up into a raging fireball in front of them. Debris and shrapnel rained down toward the earth. Logan veered the X-Fighter from the explosion, causing everyone to be tossed about inside the fighter. The alarms rang out loudly, warning of the collision with the explosion. Logan quickly regain control.
"Every body alright?" he asked.
Orror was the first to stand up. "Where's Rogue?"
Gambit joined them at the windows. He couldn't see anything but debris. Suddenly the sky began clearing up. He looked to Orror, who's eyes and gone white. It was then he realized they had regained their powers…thanks to Rogue.
"Jean, can you sense her?" Scott asked.
Jean closed her eyes and shook her head. "No. I can't sense her at all."
"But she has to be out there!" Kitty cried. "We can't just leave her!"
"Kitty!" Logan yelled. "Get a grip. No one's said anything about leaving. Not just calm down, we're going to find her."
Kitty nodded and joined them at the windows.
Gambit looked through the windows, never taking his eyes from the explosion. They were running out of time. Even with Rogue's powers, she wouldn't last much longer if they didn't…wait! Gambit caught sight of a falling black object. He moved along the windows. Could it be? Yes, it was her!
"Dere she is!" Gambit yelled.
"Vhere?" Kurt asked. He joined Gambit. "Ha! I see her!" Kurt teleported off the plane.
"Hang on, we're headin' for the mansion!" Logan yelled.
Seconds later, Kurt reappeared in the jet with Rogue in his arms. Logan punched the engines and the jet took off for the mansion. Gambit moved to Kurt's side. Rogue was lying unconscious in his arms. Her clothes had been burned from the blast, along with some of her skin.
"Get her onto the bed, quick!" Kitty called.
Kurt carefully lifted Rogue onto the Jet's medical bed and gently strapped her to it.
"Ge' de antivirus from 'er belt." Gambit said. He reached over her and opened her pouch Hank had given her. Gambit pulled back as he saw nothing in her pouch.
"Vhat now?" Kurt asked.
"We got no choice but t'wait." Gambit whispered. "Her only chance now…is de mansion."
