It didn't matter how innocent or concerned the man might appear to be, Rogue wouldn't trust any of it until he undid whatever it was that was keeping her locked in her invisible cell. The scientists had tried that trick in the early days, one of them acting concerned, pretending she was on Rogue's side, and then she'd turned out to be one of the more sadistic of the lot. All it taken was one accidental brush of skin and Rogue had known the horrible truth of the matter.

His actions were having their intended effect, though. She could see that he didn't have anything in his hands, that he didn't seem about to attack or slice her open to see what made her tick. And this certainly wasn't a lab, not like the one she'd been kept in anyway. Closing her eyes, she took a few deep, steadying breaths, then let her hands drop away from the invisible barrier. She met his gaze when she had calmed a little, her pulse almost resembling something normal, and said with careful enunciation, "Please let me out." There had been no sound when he'd approached and she couldn't make out anything coming from the room around them, so she had to assume that he likely couldn't hear her either, but perhaps he'd be able to tell what she was saying - if he spoke English, anyway. One problem at a time.
