So, I guess everyone really liked "A Rogue's Curse" and many keep asking me if there was going to be a sequel. After much thought (and a couple of sleepless nights (eh, not really...)) I'd like to present you to, "A Rogue's Wish", the sequel. the sequel is still a bit in transit, but as of right now, it's official. Plus, this isn't going to be the only sequel. I decided to make this a trilogy only because Scouge has always been my favorite couple, and I can't seem to finish writing about them (made evident by some of my recent stories.) So, the third installment is still in the "production phase" but I'd like to introduce you to the first chapter of "A Rogue's Wish."

I own nothing from X-men and all it's entities. I don't own the characters or the production. I am only a HUGE fan! This is a sequel to "A Rogue's Curse" [if you haven't read it, check it out! Lol]

Happily ever after for Scott and Rogue must wait, considering the manic-mutant MJ was still on the loose and Jean has no clue the extent to which she 'turned' the young mutant . With Rogue being able to control her powers, is it any wonder that all she wants is alone time with the man she loves? But, when a mutant named Emma Frost comes back into the picture, it complicates matters for the new couple. Emma can't get over Scott, and she has no problem trying to shove Rogue out of the picture. So, what happens when Rogue's location, and powers, are revealed to a government that has absolutely no interest in 'helping' her but only in using her?

A Rogue's Wish

She swirled the gold band around her finger, still not being able to accept that she was going to get married to Scott Summers.

Leader of the X-men.

Love of her life.

Her everything.

She glanced up when she heard shouting, smiling as Warren and Kurt came rushing over to her. She stood, laughing when Kurt didn't gauge his distance well and came barreling into her, wrapping his arms around her in a large hug as they both toppled to the ground.

"Kurt, Scott said gently welcome her back." Warren's voice came out exasperated, but held no real conviction as he smiled down at them.

"Scott has veen keeping her hidden for two veeks! Kill me for veing just a little excited to see her!" Kurt shouted jovially as he wrapped a hand around hers, pulling her up as he struggled to his feet.

"You're right. Two weeks is too long." Warren said thoughtfully, letting out a shout as he closed the the rest of the distance in a run.

They both laughed harder when Warren tackled both of them, slamming all three of them back into the ground in a fit of shouts and screams.

A couple of curses, and hugs, later, they found themselves sitting in front of the lake, Kurt still trying unsuccessfully to skip a rock across the surface.

"So, what happened?" Warren finally asked, not being able to take his eyes off of the young girl. She smirked, turning her green gaze on him as she shrugged.

"Truthfully? It still beats me."

"Vhat do you mean?"

She turned to look up at Kurt as he threw another rock. "I don't know exactly what happened to me either. It's still a bit of a blurry mess. All I remember is letting go of Jean and than this blinding green light. After a while, I woke up on the side of this very pond."

"You don't remember anything?" Warren asked and Rogue shook her head in response. "It took me a moment to understand that I was alive. I mean, think about it. I should be dead."

Warren reached out to wrap a hand into hers. "We don't want to think about it." He said softly, blue eyes never leaving her face as his became glassy with tears. She grinned, punching him lightly on the shoulder with her free hands. "I'm here, aren't I, Warren? Stop thinking I am going to disappear underneath your nose." She reached out and ruffled his hair slightly, pulling her hand out of his as she stood up.

"So, how long has it been?"

"Two veeks." Kurt said, giving up as he turned to look at her, dropping the rest of the stones onto the ground. She rolled her eyes. "No, how long did you guys think I was…dead for?"

"Oh, avout 2 months."

Rogue nodded, looking around her as she placed her hands on her hips. "Scott filled me in on some of it. Although, i really can't believe some of it myself."

She turned to look at the too, eyes narrowed in thought.

"Did Logan and Jean really get married?"

Both men nodded.

"Bobby and Kitty broke up?"

Both men nodded.

"Oro and Hank?"

"Rumored." Warren answered quickly before Kurt could neither shake or nod his head.

"Jean is…alright though, right?" Rogue asked both of them and felt the moment of hesitation. "What?" she asked.

Warren let out a sigh.

"Jean is kinda…normal right now."

"Well, that's a good thing, isn't it?"

"No, like, Jean is normal. Jean doesn't have her powers anymore."

That, she mused, was life.

Kurt and Warren left, leaving her alone with her thoughts outsde. Logan had called another danger room session, and because no one thought she was ready for one of those yet, Kurt and Warren threatened to come and get her later if she hadn't come back inside by then.

She didn't know if she could live with the guilt for long, though.

She had lied to them.

She remembered exactly what happened after she died.

Because, she really had died.

She remembered Sage, the green angel that seemed to smile softly all the time. She remembered the pain of dying, and the joy of being reborn. She remembered the promise she made in exchange for her new life.

And , she wondered now if she could keep the promise.

The cold autumn air blew softly, shifting her white strands in front of her eyes as she remained standing in front of the pond.

"You're going to catch your death of cold out here." she heard a deep voice whisper behind her. She smiled.

"It's the first time I've been outside in 2 weeks. I am milking this for all it's worth."

A strong pair of arms wrapped around her waist through her arms, and she leaned back as she rested her entire body along his. She placed her hands on top of his, feeling his gold band underneath her hands as his lips pressed gently against the side of her neck.

She let out a tiny laugh. "Oh, Warren! You know that spot tickles me!" she joked. She laughed harder when she felt Scott bite the tip of her ear softly. "Warren, huh?" Scott asked, swaying them both as she closed her eyes, lulled to relaxation.

"You didn't tell me about Jean."

She heard him let out a sigh.

"I didn't tell you about Jean because I knew you'd do exactly what you're doing right now."

"And what is that?"

"You'd worry. Considering everything you've been through, I didn't want you to worry about something as juvenile as this."

She tsked tsked him.

"Jean losing her powers isn't juvenile, Scott. Jean losing her powers is kinda a big deal."

He remained silent, sliding his fingers through hers. "Rogue, please…"

"Fine, but this conversation isn't over."

"I don't doubt it." Scott retorted, laughing as he spun her around to face him. "I don't doubt it." he repeated, bending to touch his lips softly to hers.

She'd never get used to it.

Used to touching. But, she saw it as more of a blessing than a curse. She'd never wanted to take anything for granted again.

Although…

She stood in front of the mirror, staring at her green eyes. "I couldn't even keep my regular eyes?" she asked aloud. She wouldn't get used to the subtle changes either. The whiter strands, redder hair, greener eyes…

Heightened power.

She shrugged, backing away from the mirror as she tied her hair back.

There was a lot to get used to.

Two months she'd been dead, and everything had seemed to change in those two months. Sure, she figured that Logan and Jean would get together, but marriage definitely wasn't what she had in mind.

And Bobby and Kitty? She wondered if Bobby had found out that Kitty was holding some feelings for Warren. Maybe that was the reason behind the break-up.

She didn't even want to consider Ororo and Hank. She wouldn't, couldn't, wrap her mind around them.

She let out a sigh as she opened the door of her room, making her way down to dinner. It was odd, she'd never thought she'd be nervous to eat dinner with everyone again. In the two weeks since she'd been found, she'd only had contact with Hank, Charles and Scott. Hank because he was her doctor, Scott because he was the one who had found her, and Charles because…well, you couldn't keep anything from him, no matter how hard you try.

She didn't know the reception she was going to have. Especially since her dying hadn't been part of the original plan. Would they all be angry with her for deviating from the original plan, or would they be angry with her for not saying anything? God, she didn't even know if they wanted her back. Sure, Kurt and Warren were a given, but what about all the other kids in the mansion?

How do you explain coming back to life from the dead?She squared her shoulder, letting out a breath as she prepared herself.

After a moment of standing in front of the door like an idiot, alone, she chided herself and without giving her enough time to back out, she pushed open the door.

She'd been wrong.

She knew that the moment Kitty ran and tackled her, the small body doing nothing more than make Rogue move back a couple of steps.

Rogue smiled softly as she began to cry, the entire room looking at her with such loving expressions in their eyes. She closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around the small body as the first tear rolled down her right cheek. She'd missed this, but she wondered how they would feel if they knew.

If only they knew what she gave up to be with all of them.

Maybe then, they would hate her.
