Rogue and Sage assumed that Gambit had already arrived in New Orleans. They left the cars near the city center and kept looking by feet. They were silently communicating through their mind-link as they looked for BellaDonna's headquarters. Rogue used her enhanced senses and Sage used telepathy to find their enemies. As Sage already knew Remy's mind signature she looked intensely for him. Rogue knew his scent and she tried to catch it.

Rogue and Sage stopped in a bar almost as clueless as they were when they got in New Orleans. Both ordered sodas - no need to get intoxicated while on a mission - and sat at a table, thinking about their next step.

Rogue stiffened and hid herself when she recognize the man who just arrived in the bar. It was one of the two monsters. Only Sage analytical and calming mind stopped Rogue from taking him down here and now. She reasoned with Rogue and agreed with her that they would follow him. Sage held Rogue's gloved hand under the table, rubbing it in a comforting way. Sage felt sorry for Rogue. Even if she had mastered her ability to use previously absorbed powers she was still unable to lower her shields and let someone have a skin on skin contact with her. They were almost back to the beginning.

How cruel fate was! When Rogue was starting to enjoy her control on her powers, something happened that killed her control. When Sage felt at ease and accepted within the X-Men, her mentor was back and probably ready to send her away.

Sage was in the middle of her meditation when the scum left the bar. Rogue and her followed him unnoticed. Sage could pick at his thoughts now that they were away from the crowd. Once they got the location of the headquarters and they were in a deserted area, Rogue pounced on the guy. With her strength she tackled him and pinned him to the ground.

His eyes widened with recognition. "You are LeBeau's whore!"

She slapped him hard. His eyes focused on her again. "You should be dead! I cut you..."

Rogue snarled and let her right hand claws out. She pressed those to his throat. Sage stepped forward. "Apologize, scumbag, or she'll cut you. My friend is no one's whore. You should have known it's hard to kill us mutants."

His crazy eyes traveled between Rogue and Sage. "I just followed orders..."

Rogue's claws left his throat and they plunged in his groin. She showed her teeth in a feral smile when he screamed. She showed him her bloody claws. "I'll finish him," she said to Sage.

Sage shook her head. "If you do, you'll feel remorse. Murder isn't an option for you. You took him his ability to do what he did to you to anyone else. That's more than enough."

"Blood... More blood..." said Rogue as she prepared her bone claws to deliver the final blow. Sage's hand caught Rogue's wrist. She wasn't strong enough to stop her is she decided to go on but the sensation stopped Rogue. Her unfocused eyes found Sage. She reached out through their mind-link and tried to share with her friend some of her analytical logic. She urged her friend to stop.

"He'll lose all his blood anyway, Rogue. You touched the artery in his thigh. Let him die slowly. If he survives, it'll be painful. He'll never be a man again."

Rogue stood up and followed her friend. They left the man on the pavement in that deserted area. They didn't look back at him. The young women soon arrived at the headquarters. Rogue convinced Sage to hide in the neighborhood. She could monitor Rogue through the mind-link and Rogue wouldn't have to worry for her friend's safety. Rogue was wearing all-black clothes that were designed for fight. She walked toward the building's main entrance confidently. She had permanently damaged one of her rapists. She would do it to the second one and then get BellaDonna. No one would stop her.

She opened the door... Well, she did not open it, she kicked it and it flew across the hall. She stepped into the Assassins' headquarters and all hell broke loose.

She didn't kill anyone, barely knocking off every assassin who tried to get in her way. She kept her claws sheathed as to not kill. Sage kept telling her that she shouldn't kill, that she should keep her hands clean of any of those scums' blood. Sage was mentally guiding her thanks to all the images she gathered in the people's minds. Only three people mattered to Rogue. BellaDonna, the monster who had helped rape her and Remy.

Every single person under BellaDonna's orders was a trained killer. they soon enough discovered that no skill was of any use when your opponent has unbreakable skin and superhuman strength. Rogue was slowly slipping into her berserk persona and only Sage held her back and offered her some sanity. Rogue was ruled by her emotions when Sage was ruled by logic. They balanced well each other.

Rogue reached Remy's jail, where so much had happened to her a couple of days ago. He was there; he was Bella's prisoner again and very lucky to be alive. Rogue didn't see him. All she could see in her mind's eye was the spot where the men, the monsters had violated her body and soul. She screamed and punched the bloody ground again and again until she destroyed any evidence of the events.

She remained motionless a while, breathless. She smelled the second rapist as he entered the room. He froze when he recognized her; then a cocky grin stretched his lips. She slowly stood up and faced him. "You didn't have enough?" he asked with a lustful grin. "You want more?"

"If the simple idea of having you in my mind didn't disgust me so much, I would dare you to touch my skin." she unsheathed her claws. "Instead I'll just cut your guts out. Just like I did to your little colleague."

She pounced on him. The fight wasn't fair. With her strength and her enhanced abilities she had him down in no time. She abandoned him in the hole she had dug in the ground, screaming, losing blood by his groin and some other places. She slowly turned toward the Cajun. She wiped the blood off her face with her gloved hand, claws sheathed. Remy was speechless. Covered with blood and her face cold as ice she was frightening. She came closer to him and knelt to be on the same eye-level.

Her mask cracked a little and he glanced at her frightened, vulnerable self. His body shook as he wanted nothing more but embrace her and tell her that he loved her again and again. He pulled on the chains. "Remy needs a little help, chere."

She broke him free. She was starting to get down from her adrenaline high. Once out of the restraints he pulled her stiff body in his embrace. "Rogue... I see it's you... Remy thought he would never see you again... We'll be okay... Nous sommes ensemble maintenant... We're together now... T'aime."

Her eyes full of unshed tears she looked at him. "What does that mean?" she asked.

"T'aime? It means love you," he answered.

He leaned in to kiss her and she shook her head. "Don't. I can't lower my shield anymore."

He nodded in acknowledgment. "let's go," he said.

"I need to find BellaDonna."

"Remy could try to talk you out of that but he can see in your eyes it's useless."

With his gloved fingers he brushed from her face the white lock of hair, now red with blood.

"How cute!" interrupted the voice both despised. They turned toward BellaDonna. She was smirking. Rogue silently asked for Sage's help. She could feel her friend's brain working fast and hard. Rogue wanted to make sure Bella would leave them alone without killing the Assassins' leader. Sage agreed with that plan but they needed to find which buttons to press and which strings to pull to succeed.

Remy tried to put himself between BellaDonna and Rogue but as she was the one with inhumane strength and invulnerable skin, she didn't let him. She was facing the woman she wanted to see dead. She wouldn't kill her if she could do otherwise - that was the X-Men spirit. She had been taught the X-Men ways for so long that she wouldn't disappoint her father, Ororo and the Professor. Sage informed her that she had found the breach they could use against BellaDonna.

Let's face the moment de vérité, as Remy would have said.
