Stepping away
from the ruins of the mansion, Rogue grimaced at how her new size and mass
caused the nearby shrubbery to rattle with each heavy foot fall, how her thighs
rubbed together uncomfortably and how her bust and rear swayed to each step.
Putting a claw to her broad hip, Rogue considered pulling her mass back in on
herself to become slim again, sure she’d probably grow taller but at least she
wouldn’t look or feel so damn… bloated. Using her shapeshifting powers, she
began to pull her mass back into herself, growing taller but becoming thinner
as a result. But when she grew a meter taller, she stopped, a spike of hunger
jabbed into her guts, making her nearly fall to her knees and clutch at her
middle. Wild eyed and hungry, she searched out with her telepathy and
disappeared from the campus with a puff of purple smoke.
A split second
later, a cloud of smoke exploded right on top of a field of horses, spooking
the animals into a panic and fleeing from the giant blue monster that literally
came out of nowhere. Licking her lips, Rogue chased the herd and snatched up
the slowest horse in mid run and hoisted it up with just one claw. Stretching
her mouth wide like a snake and shoving the neighing animal down her maw, she forced
it down her throat and gobbling it whole. Sitting down heavily on the hill she
appeared on and rubbing her full belly, Rogue sighed and burped. Letting loose
a small plume of fire doing so. “Mmmm… That was good…” When the hunger died
off, Marie looked around and found herself in the middle of nowhere. Off in the
distance she could see a herd of horses run for their lives away from her,
along with stable house where she spotted the farmer run to his phone after
seeing a giant blue furry beast woman eat one of his horses. “Uhm… Oops.”
With another
burst of smoke, Rogue returned to the Xavier Institute, rubbing her full
stomach and pacing anxiously. “OK, so if ahm plump and full, ah won’t go off
and eat whatever crawls… Or runs… Or TALKS!” Nervous and worried, Rogue tried
to think of what to do, who to go for help. There had to be someone that could
reverse what she’s become, otherwise she’d become an ever-growing problem.
Worse? Someone ELSE’s growing problem!
Closing her
eyes and concentrating her mind, she used her telepathy to seek out who could
best solve her personal dilemma. Far across the Atlantic Ocean she spotted the crescent
island of Genosha off the coast of Madagascar. The X-Men WERE planning on
flying there to escape her, she even thought about going there herself… But
then again. “Magneto.” She couldn’t look into his mind, but she knew where he
was and if he learned that she gobbled up Xavier and pretty much his entire
school, he’d probably try to kill her! “Nu uh… Next.”
Looking further
north, she peered inside the mutant research facility at Muir island, run by
Moira MacTaggert. She was the leading head of research in mutation and mutant
abilities in the world, housing some of the most powerful or unstable mutants
known to man. If anyone could fix her powers it could be her. But then again if
she learned that Rogue ate her Ex and smashed his home to bits, she might try
to put her down like a rabid dog. WORSE! Set loose some of her ‘patients’ on
her. “Maybe ah need someone who won’t be mad at li lol me.” Searching further
and further over the globe, her fanged lips turned to a smile when she found
who she was looking for.
“Bingo!” With
an explosion of purple smoke, Rogue disappeared from the school ruins.

Deep in the
amazon jungles, far from human interference and prying eyes. Mr. Sinister
lounged in his chair, sipping from a glass of wine and going over the local news
papers. The latest news was a string of disappearances in Rio; homeless and
single living people had been dropping out of sight for the last few weeks,
with no evidence of break in OR ransom. Smiling at his Marauder’s work in getting
him new test subjects to work with, Sinister took a sip from his glass, only to
through it away in shock when an explosion of purple smoke erupted in his main
dining hall. “WHAT THE HELL?!” When the smoke dissipated, Sinister nearly
leaned so back in his chair he just about fell back. Wafting the smoke out of
her way with one of her wings, Rogue stood up and growled when her head hit a
chandelier. Prying the thing off its hook from the ceiling and tossing it
aside, Marie looked down to see the shocked face of the man she was looking
for.
“Y’all are hard
to find, but ah reckon you WANT it that way.”
Forcing herself
to hunch down, Rogue felt cramped in the space she teleported in. Her tail was
knocking over suits of armor at the door behind her and she was pretty sure she
just destroyed a table and eight dining chairs under her clawed feet and hands.
“Who ARE you?
And how DARE you enter my secret lair!” Getting up from his chair, he tried to
call for his Marauders when Rogue took a deep breath and blew intense cold at
him, slamming him against the far wall and freezing him in place. Struggling to
get free, Sinister looked up to find the blue furred… Dragon woman looming over
him, her black multicolored eyes staring deep into his red ones.
“Here’s the
deal Sinny, ah’ve got a BIG problem and right now YOU are the only one who can
fix it!”
Finally
recognizing the creature’s voice, the immortal scientist blinked in shock. “ROGUE?!
Who… How…”
“None of that
matters now Sinister, here’s what ah want. YOU are gonna make me normal again
and you are gonna do it pronto!”
Getting a
better look at the woman, he could already surmise that she possessed most if
not all her comrade’s powers and abilities. But how she became so huge was
still a mystery, he was intrigued. “And what if I refuse then Rogue?” Getting a
toothy smirk in return, Rogue leaned in closer to whisper in his ear. “Cuz in a
bit ah’m going to be hungry… And y’all don’t wanna be near me when ah’m hungry!”
