Chapter 9

Remy.

I had been driving around for close to 3 hours when I needed to stop to rest so I pulled into a small cafe on the outskirts of town. I had checked all of Rogues local hangouts asking if she had been in at all, most shook their head and said they haven't seen her for a few days, I was racking my brain trying to think where she might go, my first thought was maybe back to Mississippi but I doubted it, her relationship with her foster mother was strained and she had no one back there she could call a friend anymore once they all found out about mutants.

Sinking down in one of the booths, a blonde waitress with too much make up came over, trying to flirt with me but all I could do was ask for black coffee and a bagel and not give her a second glance, she stormed off when I paid no interest. When she returned she placed the items on the table and walked about in a strop when I didn't pay her more attention. I was in no mood, my mind was on one thing and one thing only, Rogue.

If only I had stuck to that thought with Betsy then none of this would of happened, So that when she pulled me aside I would have listened to her, joked about the way she was blushing, noticed then that she looked beautiful had obviously gotten herself done up which she did not need to do as she looked beautiful just the way she did that morning, I would have manned up and told her I felt the same, we would have embraced, smiled, kissed... no we couldn't, screw it I know deep down I would have done it I didn't care, It was Rogue getting any kind of touch from her sent tingles through my body. And at the end of it we would be together, we would have been happy, maybe the happiest either one of us have been in years. But no... that didn't happen, I fucked up and tried to make some stupid excuse and did something horrible.

Betsy knew, she knew about my feelings, and she kissed me in spite, the look on Rogues face, seeing me kiss someone else and in front of her. Clenching my fists I wondered why she did it, but I can't put all the blame on Betsy, I should have left before anything happened. I have done some fucked up things in my life but nothing that hurt as bad as seeing Rogue cry, It was the only time I have seen tears fall down her face, and it killed me because I was the cause of them all this talk about we can't be, that friendship was all I could offer was bullshit. She knew it, I knew. If I had listen to that little voice in my head before I wouldn't be out her looking for her.

I have always been the one to run from something but I have never had anyone run away from me, well a few times growing up because of my eyes, but never from their own home, I made her fun from her home, her friends, her only family, from me. All because I didn't think!

Gulping down my coffee and taking the bagel with me I left my money on the table and walked out, all this over-thinking and what ifs or what I should have, was not helping. Rogue was out there, and needed to find her, beg her for forgiveness and bring her home.

I need to make things right.

Rogue.

I had fallen asleep at some point through the day, I could see the soft glow of the moon pouring through my window for a second I forgot where I was, I went to sit up and felt a pain in my side, remembering the crash hurt, But I was the Rogue I could beat this, I was never one for hospitals I hated them, so I knew I could not stay here, I had somewhere to be. Swinging my legs over the side of the bed I placed my feet on the floor and grabbed onto the side cupboard to steady myself, It was good to see I was still walking, the Doctor was right I was lucky.

Walking over to the Bathroom I clicked on the light, waiting a few seconds to get my sight back as I was blinded for five seconds of the bathroom light coming on. Walking over to the mirror I was in shock I looked terrible, seeing that my stuff had been brought in I walked back to the room grabbed my toiletries and started to fix the mess that I was in with a nice wash and fixer upper.

Even though I got the dried blood off of my body, and smelt fresher then I did, I knew there was something a lot harder that a wash would not help, I looked horrible underneath the dirt, dried blood and sweat. I looked broken, a sharp pain shot through my chest when I remembered everything that happened almost twenty-four hours before leading up to myself being here. Tears began to prick my eyes.

'He didn't want me.' I fell down to the floor and pulled my knees to my chest, and the tears just kept falling.

Outside P.O.V

Rogue did not notice a figure appear in her room , they were dressed from top to bottom in black military gear, he walked over to the outside wall of the bathroom and waited, he could hear sobs, he had his distraction all he had to do was strike. The mysterious figure peaked around the corner, her head was in her hands here was his shot.

They tackled her to the floor and covered her mouth with their gloved hand, Rogue struggled, to get him off of her she was in no shape to be fighting, she could not see her attackers face because it was covered but she noticed there was a gap from the mask to the neck line of their shirt, with her free hand the touched him with her two fingers and he was out like a light. Pushing the guy off of her, she sat in the corner with her hands on her head, eyes closed and a pained expression on her face.

Rogue

The images that were running through my head, Trask was the only clear one she could get at the moment, he was posting men at every hospital posing as staff so that if a mutant came in they could infiltrate possibly terminate if they became hostile. She had to run, the orders where to terminate her, she had to run to warn everyone, but she couldn't go home, she would tell the professor, then go back to main mission, I can't return to that place, I can't watch him live his life, so that she could watch from the sidelines.

To love him from a far. To be so close and yet so far away. She felt another wave of tears come on, she needed to break now, she ran to her room, grabbed her bag took out her clothes and put them on fighting the pain running through her body. She zipped up a hoodie and snuck out. Dodging all of the nurses stations, and moving room to room whenever she heard footsteps.

When I got out of the hospital I knew she needed to get to a payphone to warn the x-men. I kept my head down but I had wits about me just incase there were more of trask's men Looking for me. As I turned the corner I noticed a payphone across the road I moved as fast as I could, the pain of being in an accident was taking its toll but I needed to warn people. Finding some spare change I put it in the phone and dialled the mansion. Hearing a couple of rings and a click of an answer phone message.

'They must be eating dinner now.' I thought

'Professor, Logan, anyone who can get to this, It's Rogue I can't say more about me but I was In a hospital, don't worry I'm fine, but trasks men were there, he's having undercover adgents pose as staff, their there so if any mutants are transferred into the hospital they are there to either take them, or terminate them, one came after me, I got away but you need to do something, I don't no much from what I got from the one after me but Mutants are in danger, please warn them. I have to do something first, I can't say much but will try to contact you soon, I needed you to know. Will talk soon.' She hung up at least they will get the message, she did not want to explain and was thankful it was about to rain, if Logan got hold of her scent she would be dragged back this gave her an escape.

Now that her ride was gone, she needed to find her way off to Ireland.

'Looks like I'm going to need the next bus to the airport.'

What did you all think?,

Is her heartbreak from Remy too much for her to handle.
Will Remy find her in time.
What will the x-men do with this new information
