Home sweet home
They're home.
Rogue, who has been chafing at the bit to get home this whole time is suddenly nervous to get off the ship. There has been a sense of safety... That isn't right. Maybe a sense of removal from the tragedy that has happened. While likely there are many others on board the Shi'ar vessel who cannot help but be reminded of what has happened by its walls, Rogue knows that when she sees the building on Greymalkin, the loss will settle into her bones.
Out here she can ignore that her home is missing a large part of its heart. It will be much harder to ignore, to keep out of mind when she's looking at her home.
As the Shi'ar ship descends quickly toward home, the Shi'ar themselves are attempting to get Rogue to sit down, to allow herself to be taken off of the ship much like Angel and the Professor who cannot walk off. She can't easily walk either but she can fly and she dislikes the idea of being pushed off this ship as if she can't do it herself.
They won't give her crutches.
The others haven't arrived just yet, as those who 'need assistance' have been gathered to leave the ship first.
There will be people waiting outside for them once they finish landing, she hopes. The glimpses she's gotten of the mansion have not been reassuring. Bad things have happened while they've been away. She isn't much for prayer but, Rogue sends up a brief thought that they will find no matching losses at home to the one they had away.
