EPILOGUE

The sky was a hazy shade of winter.

The mountain top was frigid, and as she sat, the winds gust around her.

She had flown high, fast, trying to run from her head...

But she should have known better... she had run to protect him... to protect them all...

She had become a danger... a liability...

And she had hurt the man she loved... she might have killed him...

The searing touch burned on her cheek and gently, she lifted a finger to the spot where the skin  had touched.

The rest of her was numb with cold, and she pulled the duster around herself, her teeth chattering, but she didn't move.

She wanted the numbness.... it kept her a prisoner to her thoughts... and she needed to battle her thoughts...

She needed to battle her mind...

Because she would have killed him.

A whimper escaped her throat and the mutant known as Rogue slid her fingers through her bangs as she looked up toward the dark sky, the blackness cloudy.. murky...

Chaos.

A hazy shade of winter.

God... Logan.

And she bit her lip as the last tear fell.

It was time to run.

And she had no idea where.

NOTES:
~A Hazy Shade Of Winter - is the title to a Bangles song. It seemed to fit, so I used it.
~ I'm not familiar with comic canon at all. I had a friend who helped me out with Remy's character, but I was going blind mostly, so just remember most of this stuff I made up in my head.

CASTING NOTES:
Augustus - Played by Rupert Everett
Gambit - Played by Mathew Mac... whatever his name is.
