Rogue accidentally absorbs Logan during a danger room session and gains his memories from days of future past. She learns not just of the horror that happened to the world, but also of the fate she herself met.

"Cannonball, watch your rear!" Logan charged at Sam Guthrie, aka; Cannonball. His intent wasn't too attack but to knock him out of the way before a simulated sentinel crushed him beneath his boot.

The two men landed a few feet away, with Logan firmly on top of him, but the weight didn't last for long. Logan was up again, pulling Sam up by his shoulders with him. "Use your fucking powers kid!" He growled.

Sam looked embarrassed, "I was gonna, but then you tackled me!"

Rogue allowed herself only a few seconds to internally laugh at his hurt pride, but then it was back to business. The danger room sessions were completely safe. Every now and then someone got a few scrapes or twisted something, but fatalities were never a possibility. However Rogue had come to treat danger room sessions as very serious business. This was a result of Mystique's training. She never allowed Rogue or any of her pupils to take danger room sessions lightly, and so now Rogue, a teacher in her own right was the same way with her own "students."

Even if the newer kids reactions to the simulations did make her laugh sometimes.

The sound of twisting gears alerted Rogue to the sentinel nearest to her. It was taking aim at Pixie, the student Rogue was supposed to be shadowing for her first session. "get it away from me!" Pixie screamed. Pixie's wings tried to carry her out of reach from the sentinel, but as soon as she was high the sentinel also started flying.

"shit," Rogue made a beeline for Sam, tearing her glove off as she went. "Sorry, Cannonball, I need your power." She thrust her hand onto his face, but only for a few seconds. She just needed his power, not to render him unconscious. Seconds later her body was up in the air, slamming into the sentinel at a break neck speed. The force of the impact tore through the machine's chest, metal and gears went flying everywhere.

Now that's how you use your mutation, Cannonball, she thought smugly to herself. As if on cue, Cannonball's voice filled her ears, "Look out Rogue!"

Rogue went from being high in the air to smashed into the group by Wolverine, who had just gotten flung across the room. The impact hurt, but that wasn't what really hit Rogue. Logan's skin had made contact with her own. It was different than with Sam. She'd gotten away with only pulling a few insignificant but recent memories. With Logan everything came rushing in. She had absorbed his memories before. Logan had never had an easy life, he'd been in wars. She had seen that. But none of it was compared to this.

Rogue screamed.

AN: Okay guys, I hope you'll be patient with me. Sorry if this isn't a great start, I'm horrible at writing action scenes. It's also been a very very long time since I've written fanfiction so I am a little rusty. (not that I was super good at it in the first place) I just saw days of future past and had this idea. Anyway, if you're a romy shipper than good news for you. I'd really like to get Gambit in here eventually because they are my favorite x couple, but it might take a few chapters because I want to deal with Rogue sorting through Wolverine's memories first.
