Rogue Intent
I have seen many things Rogue thought as she flew along the country side.
The hatred of such a place...death and decay...the corruption of ones soul and the light from a good soul.
I have never felt the warmth of those souls. The pure joy of somebody holding your hand or embracing you for a second to share a pure moment of hope...Where the warmth as she imagined spread through you like the warm sunlight coming through your window on a cold winters day..
A day much like today.
Rogue flew down to her cabin and changed to go to the mutant rally at the White House.
Times were changing , there was once a time when she would never go to such things...
The professor would say..Do not invite trouble...She would scour at him..Somebody has to stand up to the evil of the world and I am up to the job...She had to put that pent up frustration to work...
She had so much rage...she would train with Wolverine in the war room day after day...
Wolverine would say the same thing..
That rage has to go someplace he would say...It will be your downfall.
Rogue would smile...then kick him or hit him through the wall...
He could take it...
The danger room however was another story..
It had been broke for over a month....
Find another outlet said the professor....We cannot keep repairing the Danger Room just for you two...
She arrived at the rally...
No other mutant was there....
The speaker got up on the stage....
He spoke softly but his words were like daggers...
Mutants are a danger to all that live...They can be only one solution...
Round them up and put them in camps...Take them away and lock away the key.
The crowed hushed...
They ate every word...
Rogues could not speak her eyes filled up with tears...
They began to roll down her face.
Then something happened that surprised her...
A hand soft and sincere touched her face...
It wiped away the tears.
Come with me rogue...
This is no place for a soul such as yours.....
Rogue did not know what to do her hand was feeling fingers and warmth and kindness for the first time since before she got her powers.
When her mother long ago had grabbed her hand and took her for the last time to the school buss.
A figure landed Next to the speaker...
Yasul stood saying nothing.
Mutants .......he finally said..
They protect humanity....
I bet your wishing they were here at this very moment.....
Rogue wanted to stop but the women whispered in her ear...It is not the time...we would lose....
Rogue dared look at her for the first time...
Raven black hair....body of a goddess , a purity to her that effected the minds ability to cope...She found hope.
she found the warmth of a hand held in hers...
We have no time......to fly...
Tirene cast a spell and the two of them....were gone...
Then the energy of the crowd....was returned to Yasul..........
Greedy people he said......
I wonder why I ever gave them a spark to begin with.
A red haired women , the other Tirene looked to the White House...
In one of the offices the president looked out a window at what had just went down....
Yasul laughed......and then they to vanished.
