While the others entered the tower, Rogue chose to stay behind, trying to save the man she loved. However, Vargas then entered the equation as well, intent on killing Rogue. As Vargas fought his way into the temple which held Gambit, Gambit spat a charged piece of rock he had kept out, hoping to topple building, a feat in which he succeeded. However, Rogue flew in at the last moment, covering him with her own body to protect him. However, this didn�t interrupt the beam, as she had absorbed Gambit�s power as well and now it was feeding from her. As the beam drained Rogue, she was trapped, as well and helpless to do anything as Vargas stabbed them both with his sword [X-Treme X-Men #10-16] |

Miraculously, both of them survived and Rogue used her supercharged powers to bring Vargas to justice before collapsing and being brought to hospital alongside the critical Gambit and several other teammates. Gambit was hovering between life and death, even though the Beast performed surgery on him using advanced methods and nano-tech. But Gambit�s soul was already leaving his body. With the help of Phoenix, Rogue�s soul followed him to what seemed to be a spirit version of his ancestral home. Remy was at a door, only waiting for her before moving on into the light. Even though he was at peace, Rogue refused to let him go, forcing him to return. |

The X-Men recovered but Gambit and Rogue found that the events they�d been through had neutralized their powers. For the time being, at least, they were normal. They decided to leave the team for some time and find out how things stood with their relationship, now that they could actually have one without any obstacles. [X-Treme X-Men #18-19] |
