Chapter Two: Black as Night

[The Mighty Thor]

With Victoria and Spider-man downstairs talking, and Barry on the stairs between flights, Paige made her way purposefully toward Rogue. But as she connected, she realized quickly that she should have thought the plan out a little better before she let her anger get the better of her. As the punch connected, it did indeed send Rogue toppling backwards onto her butt, but it also sent Paige reeling as well. For while the skin to skin contact was not enough to do any permanent damage, it did send a jolt through Paige that knocked her backwards in the opposite direction. In fact the contact was so brief that Rogue did not experience any of Husk’s powers and only the faintest wisps of her thoughts, but it definitely left the young blonde Southerner with reason to never do that again.
