Rogue let Steve move her, willing and wanting to touch him further, to ground herself against the dark memories that threatened to consume her at any time. Despite the topic of conversation, though, she was feeling fine, firm and steady... until he kissed her tattoo. Her control over her emotions stretched taught in those seconds, and then--

You are victory.

In the time it took to snap your fingers, take a breath, blink, her entire emotional state was turned upside down. One moment she was just fine, and the next she was fractured and broken, tears streaming down her face as thick, heavy sobs started to tear themselves out of her throat. She shook her head because he was wrong, he was so wrong, he had no idea what he was saying. She shouldn't be there, she should have died in that lab with all those other people, she didn't deserve to have this second chance at life. She didn't deserve him. Not after what she'd done.
