    Summary

    Death was…unexpectedly polite, despite her actions. For the first few days there, she cursed and beat on the surrounding walls like an angry, old barnyard cat thrown into a tub of water. She was all screaming piss and vinegar. Any food or water dropped off by the door was ignored or grudgingly accepted. But, on the third night, as she laid asleep curled up, shivering and exhausted, she awoke to a blanket gently placed. Too blurrily eyed, head splitting from the collar and voice hoarse, no words of gratitude were given.

    Summary

    *SUMMARY CONTAINS SPOILERS!* STORY is ALL Spoilers!!
    "Sugah? Ah - Ah can't FEEL you."

    Sitting in the crater left behind by Gambit's explosion, cradling him to her chest as tears slide down her cheeks to mingle with the blood staining his, Rogue's world - and mind - shatters in the aftermath of tremendous loss.

    ~X~

    Rogue must deal with the mental and physical repurcussions of Gambit's traumatic death, but nothing is ever straightforward for the X-Men.
    When she is unable to handle the strain, the team must trust her wellbeing to a former foe.

    Tensions come to a head, however, when Gambit's body is stolen by Sinister. A race against time, and other villains, begins, but will Rogue be strong enough to overcome the cards that are stacked against her?

    ~X~

    My take (and trauma therapy) of the events that occur directly after Episode 5, "Remember It." Good lord, I'm scarred for life, I tell you.

    Summary

    "I’m your home, and your harbor. Your end point. Not a station along the way. Not a gamble, or an experiment. You’ll come to me when you know that. But don’t come to me before. Which means - for now - don’t come to me at all."

    Gambit set a boundary in X-Men Legacy #248, but how long will it hold?

    Summary

    Rogue was transfixed by the display of his raw power. For a fleeting moment, she allowed herself to forget the surrounding chaos and just get lost at that sight.

    It was beautiful. It was terrifying.

    -----------

    Small gestures, bad choices and two broken people.
