Rogue had been keeping a low profile since the party, keeping to her room for the most part and occasionally venturing out to grab something to eat. Nothing bad had happened at the party but being so close to a crowd of strangers had put the teenager into a blue mood. It reminded her of just how difference she was and just how separated Rogue was from her team. Yes, Bobby was here but he wasn’t even the Bobby from her world and Rogue hadn’t seen him in a long while. So, because of all this, Rogue had pretty much kept to herself.

Yet when the planet changed overnight from a tropical island to hilly vineyard even Rogue couldn’t ignore that. She ventured out that morning, dressed casually in pair of black jeans, a black tank top, a see-through long sleeve green shirt and her ever-present gloves. The air had that fresh scent that came after the rain and Rogue could see that the grass and soil was still wet. Since she wasn’t hungry yet, Rogue idly walked around the resort and studied the new exterior with interest. I can’t believe this place can really change, she thought, laying a gloved hand on the wall. She had heard the rumors but there was nothing like seeing it for yourself. Too bad I wasn’t awake when this happened.

The white and auburn haired teenager soon made her way to the garden and realized that not everything had changed, well, not completely anyway. There were parts of the garden that looked pretty much the same and other parts that fitted more with the new landscape. As Rogue contemplated the metamorphosis ability of Mirage, she noted that it seemed to only change on the surface since the resort itself technically stayed the same on the inside. She didn’t have too long to contemplate this when she heard a noise over her shoulder. Rogue spun around then to find that she wasn’t alone in the garden when she spotted another woman.

“Oh”, Rogue said with surprise. “Umm, hi. I didn’t know anyone else was out here this morning”.

“Well, you’d be amazed at what’s actually possible”, Rogue said with a shrug. “I’ve seen some things I never thought were possible this year”. She nodded in agreement with the nightmare comment. While everything looked nice and neat on the surface there was something sinister about this place, like the fact they couldn’t leave. “I do”, Rogue answered. “I like it a lot more than I like the beach but that’s probably because I found it too warm. I sorta need to keep covered up most of the time and a beach resort is a hard place for that”. The temperature wasn’t cold by any means but the heat didn’t bear down on the teen like it had during the sunny days at the beach. As for Italy...

Strange, hearing the country's name did stir up memories within the young girl's mind but she had never been there so how-- They're not my memories, Rogue realized with a slight bitter taste rising in her mouth. They were Magneto's memories. He had traveled the globe and visited a number of countries. Thanks to her power and the multiple times Rogue had touched the older mutant, she could recall such details. For a moment a glare flickered on her face as she stared out at the garden but it disappeared as quickly as it came. "No", she said finally. "I've never been there". If she pushed Magneto out of her head long enough though Rogue could admit she wouldn't mind visiting such locations. The teen secretly desired to travel the world but as she stared out at her surroundings she knew that traveling was out the question. "The way things are going, looks like I'll never get to see Italy either", she added outloud, unable to hide the bitter note in her voice.

Not wanting this to turn into a 'poor me' conversation, Rogue shook her head and asked Temperance the same question. "What about you Dr. Brennan, have you ever been to Italy? Or down South maybe, around where I'm from?" The bitterness was gone from her voice now and was replaced with forced light-heartedness as Rogue tried to disguise her disappointment. For a few moments Rogue managed to forget that she was trapped here but that illusion never lasted long before reality brought her down.
