"Well, back so soon? I would thought this would take a little more time," said Magneto as Mystique walked into the room.

"Logan's back, He found me out. But don't worry I think she's coming around, just give me more time and she'll come around."

"I hope so, without her, this plan is dead." Magneto replied and then turned to Pyro. "Pyro go grab our Misty will you. I think it's time for her to go home, we're done using her services."

Back at the institute, Rogue sat in her room smoking the pack she took from Scott's car, while putting on her coat and getting ready to leave. She took a drink from the vodka bottle under her bed, through her cigarette in it and headed out the door.

"Rogue!" Scott called from down the hallway.

"What the fuck is it now?" Rogue replied not even turning around to face him.

"Do not ever use my car without my permission again or take anything of mine again!" Scott yelled as Rogue turned around to face him.

"Oh you mean like this pack of smokes, here take them. I'll go pick up my own pack. By the way Scott I never took you for a guy who smokes lights, very masculine." Rogue said sarcastically as she walked away from him and began down the hall. But Scott ran after her and grabs her arm and pulled her around.

"What is with you lately?"

"Let go off me Scott."

" First tell me why are you acting this way." Scott demanded.

"Let go off me right now." Rogue said in a calm but serious voice.

"Tell me!" He yelled even louder, but all of a sudden Scott's hand that was gripping her arm, had Rogue's other hand on top of his, while sucking the life out of him. He began to sink to the floor and finally hit the floor, and let go off her. Rogue let go of him and felt a rush of power flowing through her body and then red laser beam rushed from her eyes, burning a hole in the floor. She covered her eyes and began running down the hallways feeling the walls around to guide her. When she came to the stairs she fell down and tumbled the whole way down, while trying to keep her eyes shut. When she hit the last few steps she hit her head and opened her eyes firing a red beam right through the roof. Everyone in the institute came running, to find Rogue all mangled up on the floor and bleeding from the head. Logan ran right over to her closing her eyes while the beams burned his hand. He then toughed her head and let her suck his powers so that she could stop bleeding. Logan finally let go and fell to the floor gasping for breath. Rogue awoke from her unconscious state and covered her eyes and started screaming and crying as she lay on the floor. Xavier wheeled over to her and looked down at her. He knew this was going to happen, he knew that eventually powers would get to her and take over. Storm and the other teachers herded all the students back to their room, as Hank McCoy ran upstairs to find Scott lying limp, in the middle of the hallway. Logan summed up enough strength and crawled over to Rogue.

"Oh God, what have I done, oh god, what have I done," Rogue said over and over, while still lying on the floor covering her eyes. Logan began to shed a tear and held he in his arms while making sure not to touch her skin. He looked up at Xavier and saw a tear in his eye, and then watched Xavier wheel away and into his office.

" Rogue, what happened to you?" Logan said in a soft voice, while holding back every emotion within him. Rogue rested her head on his shoulder and clenched him tight, and in a quiet voice almost too quiet to hear she said, " Kill me". Rogue thought she said it too quiet for Logan to hear, but Logan heard and felt every muscle in his body tense up.

"Can we get out of here for a little bit?" Rogue said this time in a clear voice.

"Yeah sure," said Logan as her picked her up and carried her to the garage. He sat her down on the back of his motorcycle, put a helmet on her, while her eyes were still closed. He got on and drove off. After 20 minutes of driving they can to a cliff right on the beach. Logan got off and carried her to the far edge of the cliff and sat her down. He then took off her helmet, and Rogue still had her eyes clenched.

" I think you it's safe for you to open your eyes now" He said as he pushed her hair behind her ears.

"She opened her eyes and relieved her bright green eyes back to their normal state.

"Where are we?" She asked

"Just a place I like to come when I have some shit to think about. Maybe you could tell me what you're thinking about and what the fuck happened back there."

"I-I-I-I don't know what happened, it's like I wasn't even myself. I didn't mean to do that to Scott, I don't even remember why I did it. Oh God this is bad, this is really bad. They're going to kick me out of the institute aren't they?" Rogue said as she began to whimper.

"Listen to me Rogue they won't kick you out of there, they want to help you, not cast you away. And anyways I'm here for you. I promise, I won't leave anymore. While I was away I realized a couple of things. I can't stand being without you for more than a minute, I worry about every second of the day and I love you in a way that I have never loved anyone before, not even Jean."

" Do you really?"

"Yes I do, very much, so much it hurts." Logan said. He then leaned in to kiss stopped right before touching her lip, starring right into her eyes. She wanted to kiss him so badly, she let out a tear, and pushed him away.

"Get away from me Logan, leave!" Rogue yelled as she backed away from him. "I can't do this."

"Rogue please."

"Get away from me!" Rogue yelled once more and pushed Logan away again. Logan put on his helmet and drove away. And looked back once to see Rogue standing in the open clearing all alone, with not an ounce of emotion in her.
