Even if he didn't want to, it was inevitable that Steve would hear Rogue's own opinion on the matter of her survival. It was a complicated one, to be sure - she had a severe case of survivor's guilt for all the lives that had been lost not only trying to protect her, but also at the cost of studying her powers. But she was also aware that had she not survived, no one would have been there to take over when Kitty was injured, and they never would have been able to complete the mission. Her survival had served a purpose, but at what cost?

Complicated.

Rogue smiled at Steve and grabbed the cooler again. "Yes, now's a very good time," she agreed. "I can feel the lobstering starting, and I'll warn you now that I get cranky when I'm sunburnt." She got cranky at a number of things, really, but he could learn all about those later.
