Rogue & Gambit

The X-Men moved Rogue to her family's house in Caldecott to recover from the immensity of the voices in her fractured mind. The other X-Men arrived to help her, and Emma Frost mentally probed into her mind with no success. Mister Sinister's Marauders then brutally attacked the X-Men very effectively, thanks to the traitor Lady Mastermind. Moreover, Omega Sentinel was possessed by Malice, also attacking her teammates. It was revealed that Mystique was the Marauders' secret leader and was in charge of the whole treacherous operation as she mortally shot Rogue. Sinister wished to prevent the X-Men from having any information about the future, keeping Rogue alive at his base in Antarctica because she had a recollection of Destiny's Diaries within her chaotic mind. Gambit, who also worked as one of Mister Sinister's Marauders, was constantly protective of Rogue. The fight against Mister Sinister permanently destroyed Rogue's team of X-Men. Mister Sinister, Mystique, and Gambit could not access Rogue's mind. Although Rogue momentarily woke up due to Gambit's presence, she soon fell into a coma again.
