Title: Truth
Words: 100
Challenge: trust
Rating: G
Characters/Pairings: Gambit/Rogue
Warnings: none? I think everyone knows Rogue's back story and everything by now.
Author's Notes: This is introspective fluff and set in the Earth 616 universe. Comments are more than welcome!
Trust was something that Rogue had lost faith in. Mystique didn't teach her how to use her powers, only abused them.
Rogue had tried to trust herself to do things right on her own, but by then, she couldn't remember how.
Then she decided that she had to trust the X-Men. Rogue had to believe the team would know how to teach her to use her power, to be a hero like they were.
When Remy reached over and touched her, Rogue felt her lack of trust fading. Rogue trusted Remy with her life.
And it scared her to death.

Characters/Pairings: Mystique
Warnings: none?
Author's Notes: This is introspective angst and set in the Earth 616 universe. Comments are more than welcome!
It was a disease. It eroded away one's instincts, made reactions slower, and most of all, made them weak.
Trust was that disease. It was a sick thing that Mystique rarely fell prey to. She tended to use those she encountered trust against them, like a weapon. A sharp weapon that cut into someone's weakest spot: their heart.
Mystique loved to watch her victims' face when they figured out what she was doing. It was a cheap thrill, but never failed to please her.
Mystique wanted her instincts in tact. They were her power. Trust was just a disease anyway.
