Subject Attributes
Superhuman Abilities:
Power Absorption: Rogue can absorb the powers, energies, memories, knowledge, talents, personality and physical abilities (whether superhuman or not) of another human being (or members of some sentient alien races) through physical contact of her skin with the skin of the other person. She is not limited to absorbing superhuman abilities: for example, she has absorbed the strength, agility, and sharp reflexes of an enhanced human. She can also absorb psionic abilities. In absorbing another person's memories Rogue also gains the emotional responses connected to them.
Previously, for the transfer of abilities to be accomplished, Rogue’s skin had to make contact with the skin of her victim. However, more recently, Anna Marie has found herself able to absorb gifts over short distances, without any contact what-so-ever. Rogue can only absorb abilities and memories from living organic beings. She can possess the powers of several superhuman persons at once.
No upper limit has yet been determined for the number of superhuman beings whose power she can maintain simultaneously, or for the amount of power that she can absorb. However, the more power she takes, the more likely it is to have negative effects upon her and her target.
Her power is potentially lethal. Her first love, Cody Robbins, was in a comatose state for roughly a decade after her powers first manifested when they touched. It is rare for her physical appearance to change when she absorbs abilities and memories from a normal looking human being, but other beings can tint the hue of her skin or morph her form. The victim's abilities and memories are absorbed for a time thought to be sixty times longer than the period of time Rogue established a link between herself an her target.
This transfer is usually temporary, lasting for a period of time relative to how long contact is maintained, but the transfer may become permanent in certain cases. For example, she absorbed Ms. Marvel's powers permanently due to unknown reasons, before losing them at the hands of Vargas. She currently retains the powers of 'Wonder Man.'
Rogue's powers are able to be resisted - though those that do so often feel pain and hurt, while those accepting of her absorption suffer very few negative side affects. In certain instances where a being has possessed an extraordinary level of power they are able to resist her abilities, and she may only share part of their memories and power. Rogue is able to absorb psyches and abilities of several beings at once, though the experience can be confusing and disorienting for her.
In the past, Rogue has showcased no control over her ability, although in recent years, she has shown herself able to delay her power's effects, or render it ineffective on certain friends and allies.
Lingering Gifts: Rogue currently retains the powers of Wonder Man, even though his essence was removed from her body. Though the exact abilities possessed remains a mystery, she has showcased superhuman strength and speed, incredible agility and reflexes, increased durability and the power of flight.
Standard Abilities:
Quick Learner: Rogue has, perhaps more than most, access to a near endless range of 'abilities', most gleamed from the absorption of other's skills. Since making contact with other people's skin allows her to absorb both memories and thoughts, she can pick up a variety of talents almost instantly - though they are short lived. While some are remembered, most fade over time.
Combat Ready: Years of training with the X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants has granted Rogue basic combat knowledge, and she is a proficient hand-to-hand combatant.
Pilot: Since losing her ability to fly, Rogue has taken up lessons under her team's tutelage. She is now a proficient Blackbird pilot.
Acrobat: Rogue has displayed acrobatic skills on a number of occasions, and they are thought to have been learned from Gambit.
Innate Understanding: While Rogue's early power absorption was difficult and she found it hard to control the gifts she gained, she has become quite adept at marshalling borrowed abilities. While there are times they surprise her, most gifts she quickly learns to control, allowing her to use them to her advantage in a much shorter space of time than previously possible.
Paraphernalia: N/A
Subject Weaknesses: Mortal: Rogue is mortal, and while she can absorb and utilize the healing factors of others, they only work over short periods of time. As such, she is affected by illness, toxins and wounds as any other mortal would be.
Lack of Control: Anna's mutant ability can be fatal to those around her and it relies on incredible levels of mental control. There are times, when struggling with concentration or if psychically compromised, that she struggles to control who her powers effect. As such, she can initiate power absorption, with possibly dire consequences, through entirely accidental contact. She is therefore incredibly weary about whom she touches, and often keeps herself covered.
Robotics: Robotic beings and synthetic materials cannot be affected by Rogue's power absorption.
Overload: Depending on the number of people Rogue comes into contact with, she can suffer serious mental overload; especially if that person or people are under the influence of strong emotions or pass on powerful memories. Simiarly, certain other mutations or psychic abilities can cause Rogue to remember former stolen abilities and memories at once - causing incredible headaches. These, in turn, have a near instantaneous affect on Rogue's mood, darkening it.
Fluctuating Powers: Rogue's powers seem to be constantly evolving and changing. Therefore, she often has to relearn what she thought she already knew, and there can be devestating consequences should she not be ever prepared.
Inner Darkness: Living a life knowing human interaction would be difficult, Rogue has had to deal with alot: from hurting friends accidentally to seeing too much of people's psyches and emotions - some of which still haunt her. As such, though she appears feisty and self-confident, there is a lingering fear and wariness that sits just under the surface.
Subject History
Rogue's parents, Owen and Priscilla, married early in their relationship and lived in a back-to-nature hippie commune in Caldecott County, Mississippi. She was born Anna Marie – though her last name remains unknown. The commune believed in the existence of a spirit world, and attempted to use Native American mysticism to reach the Far Banks – a reality composed of dreams – though they failed, and it resulted in Priscilla's disappearance. Rogue's Aunt Carrie took over Anna's care and, in her grief at the loss of her sister, was a strict and authoritarian guardian. Anna Marie was a rebellious child and her equally poor relationship with her father prompted her to run away from home as a young teenager.
This also prompted the nickname she'd eventually come to use: "Rogue".
At some point during her wandering, Rogue grew close to a boy named Cody Robbins. The pair developed a romance, though it was brief and short lived. When the pair first kissed, her latent mutant power to absorb the life energy and psyche of others with skin-to-skin contact emerged, draining Cody of his very essence. Cody was left in a coma from which he would not awaken. Rogue was traumatized by the experience and she wore body-concealing clothing that eliminated the possibility of accidental skin contact. Rogue was not able to control her absorption power at first; any skin-to-skin contact activated it, and she sometimes retained residual memories of the people she touched.
Shortly after, she was taken in by mutants Mystique and Destiny of the Brotherhood, and was raised as an unofficial foster daughter. Raven Darkholme moulded Rogue's loneliness, envy, bitterness, and despair into anger; and thus left her a force to be reckoned with. Rogue fought alongside the Brotherhood against many superheroes, including the X-Men, ROM, Dazzler, and the Avengers and was a devastating enemy to them all. During one such battle, she encountered the super heroine, Ms. Marvel. Rogue and Ms. Marvel fought and, through prolonged contact during which Ms. Marvel fought valiantly to retain her consciousness, Rogue absorbed Ms. Marvel's alien-based powers and memories permanently. Rogue gained Ms. Marvel's incredible strength, near-invulnerability, the power of flight, and a rarely-used mild form of ESP referred to as a "seventh sense." After absorbing Ms. Marvel's abilities, Rogue was ordered to defeat the Avengers and attacked them at their mansion headquarters. She failed to overpower them.
She and her foster mother would go on to attack a number of other important landmarks shortly after, from Ryker's Island and Windust Priosn to the Pentagon. She formed and nurtured a rivalry with the mutant Dazzler, and battled (and indeed was defeated by) the Heroes for Hire. However, after having absorbed Ms. Marvel's life-force and gaining her personality and powers permanently, Rogue began to go through a life-changing period. Rogue began "remembering" the comparatively more-normal childhood that Carol Danvers had lived and seeing the wrong-doings of Mystique and her team for what they were. Rogue was also feeling as though she was losing her own personality in the mix of residual memories, sometimes entirely succumbing to the Carol personality. Rogue began to dislike the life she was leading more and more, but feared losing herself forever in the absorbed memories of others. She turned to the only people she believed could help: the X-Men.
Believing there to be sincerity in her worry, Professor Xavier promised to help the girl and allowed her to join his team; however, it wasn't until Rogue risked her own life to save Wolverine's fiancée Mariko Yashida that she began to gain her teammates' trust. Working alongside the X-Men, she fought against Mastermind, Nimrod and Juggernaut – even befriending the woman she'd once tried to kill – Dazzler.
Rogue went on to join Storm's underground, proactive strike force – faking her death along with many of her team mates. They battled adverse forces in Dallas and Australia (with Mystique in the first instance) and then the Genoshan Magistrates. During all the above instances, Rogue battled with 'Carol Danver's' personality that had embedded itself within her. However, Rogue was stripped of her powers for a time, as well as the remaining portions of Carol's personality that had haunted her. She ended up powerless in the Savage Land, where she was taken in by Magneto. The two briefly toyed with a romance. Rogue ultimately saw through Magneto's noble facade when he killed the high priestess Zaladane, who had amassed an army of Savage Land natives. Rogue's perception of her potential lover shaken, she returned to the X-Mansion. When Rogue regained her powers, she fully returned to the X-Men.
While she was gone, a new member had joined the X-Men; Remy LeBeau. Rogue and Gambit were immediately attracted to each other and quickly fell in love. Rogue and Gambit's relationship was often strained, most notably thanks to her inability to control her absorption power, though his natural dishonesty also played a part. Incidentally, Cody Robbins, the first person to fall victim to Rogue's powers, was later killed by Gambit's ex-wife Bella Donna. It was eventually discovered that Mystique had two sons: the deceased anti-mutant politician Graydon Creed and Rogue's long-time teammate, Nightcrawler. Rogue and Nightcrawler were close friends, and though they came to consider themselves siblings, the revelation did not change things between them.
During an invasion of aliens from another dimension, Rogue begged Sage to use her jump-starting powers to evolve Rogue to a point where she could control all of the various powers inside of her. Sage agreed, and Rogue became a one-woman army, able to use the powers of anyone she had absorbed in the past, exhibiting a multitude of powers at once. After that time, Rogue took a back seat – believing herself dangers. However, Storm requested her aid in forming a splinter group with four other X-Men to search for Destiny's diaries, which predicted the future of mutant kind. During their quest, a meeting with the being known as Vargas rendered both Rogue and Gambit powerless, and the pair seized the opportunity to pursue living a normal life together in the mutant-friendly community of Valle Soleada in California. Soon after, they came to the X-Men's aid against the mutant predator Elias Bogan and subsequently rejoined the team. Regaining her power of absorption thanks to the jumpstarting ability of her teammate Sage, Rogue set out on a personal quest to rediscover her past.
She eventually returned to the X-Men. Over time, Rogue's own abilities returned naturally. However, she no longer possessed the abilities she had absorbed from Ms. Marvel. Rogue and Gambit were both put on Havok's team. On their first mission back, the X-Men battled against a Chinese mutant team to rescue Xorn. They succeeded and brought Xorn back to the X-Mansion with them. The X-Men then faced a new Brotherhood in Philadelphia, where Rogue was nearly killed by Black Tom Cassidy.
Rogue was given control of a group of X-Men shortly after – which included, much to her and Gambit's chargrin, her mother (who had spent a great deal of effort attempting to separate the two.) Mystique seemingly tried to repair her relationship with her foster daughter, but was rebuffed. Rogue's team defeated the group known as the Children of the Vault. Afterward, Rogue declared her team would be leaving the X-Mansion, before she was hospitalized after a battle with Pandemic. Cable, desiring Rogue's help in defeating the Hecatomb, forced Rogue awake in her hospital bed despite not being fully recovered. Pandemic infected Rogue with a virus, Strain 88, altering her powers by amplifying them into an instantaneous death-touch. In defeating Hecatomb, Rogue absorbed psyches of eight billion entities that had been stored inside it.
Needing time to recover, Rogue wasn't given long to do so. Mystique turned against her daughter, having been working for Mr Sinister all along. She shot Anna, and Sinister forced her into a coma, as she had a great many excerpts of Destiny's Diaries in her mind from former missions – and thus felt her incredibly useful. Gambit, who had joined the Marauders and Mr. Sinister, was protective of Rogue and accused Mystique of being too careless in how she captured her. Gambit tried to get her to wake up after she had fallen into a trance overcome by the minds she absorbed. Rogue had flashes of memories, both of her and Gambit during the time that they had known each other, and of the millions of minds she absorbed. She briefly woke up and recognizing Gambit. She told him she had a nightmare, before spouting incoherent words and mysterious coordinates.
The X-Men attacked the Marauders' Antarctic base in order to rescue Rogue and the mysterious first mutant baby born since M-Day. However the baby eventually took precedence and the X-Men did not recover (or even see) Rogue. Mr. Sinister, in possession of the mutant baby, relocated the Marauders to Muir Island. While standing by Rogue's bedside, Mystique was visited by Mr. Sinister who told her that there would be no cure for Rogue and she would eventually die. Without warning, Mystique ambushed Sinister and shoved his face onto Rogue's. The instant contact seemingly killed Sinister.
Mystique, in keeping with the words of the Destiny Diaries, placed the baby's face in direct contact with Rogue's, with the understanding that Rogue would awaken from her comatose state. The baby was not affected by Rogue's power, and Rogue awakened shortly after. Realizing what Mystique had done at the risk of killing the baby, Rogue said she was tired of people's lives being destroyed by Mystique and grabbed Mystique's face barehanded, fully absorbing her powers and consciousness. Mystique was left on the floor incapacitated as Rogue told Gambit that when the baby touched her, it removed all the psyches of everybody she had ever touched and that only herself and Mystique were left in her mind. She told Gambit she needed to be alone and told him not to follow her.
Rogue moved to travel the Australian Outback, in order to deal with having Mystique's mind bound to her own. There, she met Danger, a Shi'ar warrior who wished to take vengeance on Xavier and the X-Men for former transgressions. She subjected Rogue to a number of 'danger room' like instances, formed of the X-Men's past missions. Eventually the Professor, Gambit, and a group of Shi'ar pirates managed to shut down Danger. However, the Professor reactivated her and she defeated the pirates in turn. After this, it was revealed that Rogue's powers never truly developed past their initial "nascent" stage, which was the reason why her powers never functioned properly. Xavier, now aware of this fact, used his telepathy to tear down the mental walls that kept Rogue's powers from developing, as well as removing the mental echo of Mystique. Finally Rogue kissed Gambit, with no ill side effect, revealing that she was in control of her absorption power.
Rogue and Gambit then moved to Utopia, where they helped rescue a number of missing students that vanished during the anti-mutant trials. She, like many others, was involved in the 'Age of X', and following that, Rogue became torn between her feelings for Gambit and Magneto – ending up with neither due to her indecision. During the Schism she moved to Westchester, and was a teacher there during the 'Avengers Vs X-Men' event. Despite initially sitting out of the conflict, Anna Marie was drawn into battle when She-Hulk, who was monitoring the academy with a group of Avengers at the time, attacked a number of students, mistaking them for monsters. Rogue reacted and joined the fight with a number of the other professors.
She joined the Phoenix Five, aiding them in replenishing and restoring the world, but was unimpressed with Magik's imprisoning members of the Avengers in Limbo, making them mentally fight and relive their worst fears. Rogue attempted to free Carol Danvers, but Illyana noticed Anna's attempts, and banished her from the realm, sending her to a distant planet. There, she was caught up in a global conflict between two warring alien races, but was able to bring them peace, aided by a being named Chahr. For her help, the Swarm aided Rogue in getting back to Earth - though she returned to find things worse than she left them.
Cyclops had absorbed the power of the Phoenix force, and had been driven mad in doing so. The X-Men and Avengers united in trying to save the innocents threatened by Scott's attack. Magneto and Anna Marie worked closesly together, and Eric unexpectedly proposed. Rogue declined, but did begin spending more time with the Master of Magnetism. After Charles Xavier's funeral, Rogue and Wanda Maxmioff were forced to put differences aside to fight the Red Skull. In doing so, Anna found herself joining the 'Avengers Unity Divison.'
In a divergent universe, the Apocalypse Twins' machinations led to the death of both Rogue and the Scarlet Witch, and the destruction of Earth, with the only remaining Avenger being the Wasp. The remaining members of the Avengers Unity Division transported their consciousness from their future selves to the present, and were thus informed about what would happen if they weren't able to change their actions. By absorbing the powers of almost every Avenger and X-Men, Rogue prevented the Celestial Exitar from literally stepping on Earth and destroying it, while Thor slayed him with Jarnbjorn. The Avengers also destroyed the Twin's Tachyon Dam, a device which prevented any physical time-travel. In doing so, they accidentally allowed Kang (who had helped the future remaining Avengers to travel to the present) to arrive, along with his Chronos Corps, and absorb Exitar's blood, gaining great power.
The Infinity Watch arrived to help the Avengers fight the Chronos Corps, a fight in which the Avengers were victorious. After the crisis was over, Rogue was was nearly driven mad by all the heroic psyches she had absorbed. The Scarlet Witch cast a spell to return those powers to their owners, although Rogue still retained the powers and the very essence she absorbed from Wonder Man - replacing those formerly lost from Ms Marvel. She had also lost her ability to freely touch others.
During the events of World War Hate, Rogue left the Avengers Unity Division and fought with the inverted X-Men against the Avengers and humanity. After the reinversion spell was cast, almost all returned to their normal state and Rogue rejoined the Unity Division as the team's new leader. Their first adventure took them to Counter-Earth to look for Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. They were unexpectedly captured by the citizens of Counter-Earth and Rogue was stripped of Wonder Man's consciousness, but not his powers, by the Master Scientist.
Following Steve Rogers' retirement, Rogue became the field leader of the Avengers Unity Division, although she accepted Steve Rogers' official oversight and recommendations for membership. After flying through a Terrigen Cloud to rescue a small band of mutants, Rogue began to suffer from Terrigen poisoning. She required regular injections to stop herself becoming ill or dying. Further conflicts with the Red Skull saw the X-Men liberate him of Charles Xavier's brain and telepathic powers.
The Unity Division disbanded soon after the Red Skull's defeat, and Kitty Pryde asked Rogue and Gambit to go undercover to couple's therapy - a mission that saw the long distant pair reignite their romance. The pair ended up married shortly after - wedding each other on Colossus and Kitty's wedding day following their friends' separation. The pair honeymooned in space, but were interuppted by Pryde, who asked them to find a package linked to the Shi'ar. The package turned out to be an egg containing the genetically engineered Xandra, who, for Rogue's aid, helped her in controlling her powers once again, while also discovering Anna Marie was able to absorb gifts over a distance - not just through touch.
With this information, Gambit and Rogue returned to earth, though she and Remy soon found themselves trapped in Mojoverse, starring in an endless show: 'Honey Moonlighting.' With Spiral's help, the duo were able to free themselves from Mojo's control and return to their lives, where Rogue remains a member of the X-Men.
Subject Interview
The small, bright light that hung from the low ceiling flicked a little, its powerful luminescence and then sudden lack thereof causing her to blink a few times, before its harsh, pale radiance stabilised once more. When she'd first been moved into the detention room and the light had been turned on, she'd winced, barely able to see. In the hour she'd been sat there, her eyes had adjusted, and while she was sure it was initially part of the questioning process; to 'stun' the senses and leave people dazed and confused, she hadn't really been either, and had, after suffering from an initially blurred vision, quickly been able to follow the pacing guard captain's shadow as he strode slowly and purposefully up and down in front the desk to which she was loosely chained.
Said light rendered everything in stark, cold hues – and it seemed as though it stripped colour from everything it touched. Greys, whites and blacks where emphasised, where everything else was muted, almost indistinguishable. Even when she glanced at her wrists, at the emerald green fabric that covered her arms, they appeared little more than a swampy grey. The harsh glow made the guard's face look angrier than it already did – and when he turned to her, every frown line was exaggerated, as if drawn upon his brow by a particularly thick sharpie, or as if he was starring in some ancient ghost movie. Even she had to admit that it was an intimidating sight, even if she wasn't all that intimidated.
“I will ask you again,” he said, more than a little curtly, “how did you come to be inside the facility, and who sent you?” He stopped pacing when he spoke, leaning toward his captive a little, eyes narrowing menacingly. By way of response, Rogue just shrugged, her shoulders rising and falling lazily.
“Like ah said, ah just got lost on a tour.”
“Do you think I'm stupid? I know everything that goes on in this place – and we've not given tours in a decade, not unless they're to people of some importance!” the body-armoured man replied, slamming firm, bare fists down onto the table with his last word, pounding it in such a way it shook under her own gloved hands. The mutant's eyes widened in surprise, but it was the only reaction she offered as the loud banging noise echoed about the close walls.
“Well ah ain't changin' mah story. There was a tour for new starters, and ah got lost.”
Are you alright?
The question forced her way into her conscious mind, no doubt prompted by the sudden loud noise. It sounded as if the person asking had been right next to her, whispering in her ear, the voice familiar despite the bearer being in an all-together different room, and perhaps not even within the walls of the facility itself.
Ah'm fine, Betsy. The guy ah'm interrogatin' just got a little huffy is all. Apparently ah'm frustratin' him. Who knew ah could be frustratin'?
Betsy, aka Elizabeth Braddock, aka Psylocke, aka the psychic ninja lady who could lay waste to human minds with her incredible mental power was Rogue's back up, and she'd been incredibly attentive through the Southern Belle's capture and interrogation, and was clearly ready to be a little more involved in proceedings than she had been to that point. Not that Anna Marie, aka Rogue, aka Power Thief and Life-Force Vampire blamed her – when they'd been asked to infiltrate a privately funded PMC facility that they'd heard, through rumour, experimented freely on mutants, many X-Men had been rather desperate to get involved.
Obviously, nothing had been able to be substantiated, as was the case with colossal, secretive corporations. But the fact that most members of the facility had been granted some sort of mental shielding, preventing psychics reading their thoughts...well...that didn't suggest innocence. It was why Rogue had been required; for while her touch could sap the powers from other mutants and super humans, it also sapped their memories and knowledge. One touch, and she would be able to absorb everything the guard captain knew about the facility – including how to get in.
Not that getting into the outer areas was too hard, as she herself had proved. Indeed, with the guard captain living on site and rarely venturing outside the modern, minimalist complex – the X-Men weren't able to apprehend him and allow Rogue to work at their own base of operations. Instead, she had ventured into the enemy's and let herself get caught. She looked suspicious enough to involve the captain, but not suspicious enough to get shot on sight. Indeed, it, to that point, had been the most taxing part of her mission; though sitting handcuffed to a table was a close second. With her fingers unable to reach her ears, it had meant she'd had to listen to the droning voice of her interrogator without any respite.
And he always walked just out of reach.
“My patience is running thin.”
Yeah, ah totally get that feelin'.
“One last chance. Tell. Me. What. You're. Doing. Here.” It was no longer a question, and he punched the table with each word, punctuating them so it was impossible to miss a single syllable.
Again though, Rogue simply shrugged. That seemed to be the last straw. Grunting, the bulky male stepped closer, leaning right over the table so he was face to face with the captive mutant, his dark eyes boring into her green ones. His voice dropped to an angry hiss, and with each word, she could feel spittle splashing against her cheeks.
He was finally close enough.
“I've been playing nice up until now. Out there,” he pointed toward a long viewing window, where three heavily armed guards stood, watching the interrogation. It was the sort of window that looked as though it should have been tinted, not allowing the prisoner to see out, but for the purposes of intimidation, it had been left clear. Indeed, the sight of what looked like fully-armed paramilitary soldiers would have perhaps made most feel like escape was something of a bleak prospect, and softened them up to the captain's brutish line of questioning. “Are a group of men who are much more skilled in working information out of people than I am. But they won't be quite so nice. Former CIA operatives, all of them, and their methods are a little...less than savoury. You aren't leaving this room until I have what I feel is the truth.” Another punch on the table – but he'd been so busy staring at Rogue's face, he'd not noted she'd worked the white glove that sat over one of her hands completely free, wiggling her fingers once they were loose of their cloth confines.
“Anything you want to say now?” he hissed again.
Rogue just smirked.
“Yeah. Gotcha.”
And with that, she wrapped her fingers around his wrist, and the man's face instantly paled. His knees buckled a second later, and he collapsed onto them at Rogue's side, who shifted in order to better keep a hold of him. Out her peripheral vision, she saw a quick flash of purple light, but was too focused on her target to really pay attention to their origin. Squeezing her eyes shut, she took a deep breath as memories not her own flooded her mind, and she felt her stomach churn as she learned all the guard had to know about the complex – but also his family. His upbringing. Everything about the man's life that had lead to him being...well...the captain on his side looking only more puce by the moment.
A minute later, and Rogue released the male, who went immediately slack. He would be passed out for some time. Wincing a little, the mutant shook her head and took a deep breath, before moving to kneel at the man's side, quickly searching his belt. Upon finding a key card, she fiddled with it for a few moments before managing to work it into the slot between her cuffs – causing them to spring open, freeing her wrists. She rubbed both briefly, before then pulling his pistol from its holster, checking it over as if she were some gun expert – thanks to him, she was, after all – and stood, picking her discarded glove up from the table and making her way to the room's entrance – which was open. Apparently, they'd not been expecting her to stage such a daring escape.
In the corridor beyond, Rogue found the unconscious forms of the three guards who'd been watching, and standing in their midsts, Psylocke, her hand still glowing. Anna nodded, more than a little impressed.
“Ah got the entrance codes. Pretty sure ah know the best way in too.”
Betsy nodded as Rogue lifted her hand to her own forehead, pushing white strands of hair from her face and massaging the soft skin below her palm.
“Any chance you got an advil in that spandex a' yours? The lightin' in that room was threatenin' to give me a migraine before ah started absorbin' some d-bags thoughts. Ah could be nursin' a headache for hours.”
The answer was likely 'no', but it couldn't hurt to try.
