Chapter one

The red sports car pulled up in front of the mansion. Scott quickly got out of the car and ran over to the passenger's side. Just because the honeymoon was over did not mean he was going to turn into one of those husbands who ignore their wives. He still wanted to be as romantic as possible. He loved her so much, and after all the trails and tribulations it never wavered.

"There we are." He said, opening the door and taking Jean's hand as he helped her out of the car. She gave him a quick peck before looking at her watch and watching him goes to the trunk for their bags.

"It is late. Do you think anyone is still up?" She asked tiredly. For some reason they had decided to go camping for their honeymoon. Everything had gone bad; it had rained, but still it was perfect, perfect and tiring.

"Jean, it is Saturday night, and it is a house full of teenagers." He replied. He felt sorry for her. She was tired, and in a house full of teenagers she was not going to get the sleep she needed.

"Oh yeah," She stated, thinking back to when she was a teenager living at the mansion. Saturday nights were always hectic. There was always a fight about various rides and various dates. She slightly grimaced. She had finished college and was in a doctoral program, so why had she decided to come back here to teach. It was suicide. She never treated anyone at the institute disrespectfully, but she had seen so many pranks. She could handle it. It hadn't been that long since she was a teenager.

They walked into the house, and it was like it had always been, loud and immature. There were even newer recruits, but all the same attitudes and relationships still shined through.

"Wehl wehl wehl look whose home! I hope y'all had fun." Rogue said winking. "The professor wants ta see ya." She finished as she walked back up the stairs.

"Scott! Jean! I just wanted to welcome you home. I was wondering if you were up for a simple recruitment mission."

"Yes, we can handle that." Jean said.

"Cerebro picked up a mutant signature at a bar in Albany. The reason I want you two to go is that for some reason Cerebro isn't coming up with a profile. It is just stating that a young adult female is using her powers openly in a bar. I am sending you for two reasons' you're old enough to get in, and since there isn't a lot of other information, you just seemed like the obvious choice." He stated.

"What are her powers?" Scott piped up.

"It doesn't say, and she is using them very subtly. I doubt anyone is noticing her, but an inebriated mutant using her abilities openly is tantamount for disaster. She is also an adult, so you can't force her, mainly just make sure nothing get messy."

Jean and Scott turned to leave. The professor said, "hey take Rogue with you. I think she would benefit from getting out of the mansion." They nodded and the professor watched them leave. He had seen their marriage coming miles away, but it still filled him with this great sense of accomplishment that two of his best students fell in love and got married. Everything had changed so much in six short years, yet they also stayed the same. Most of his old students were in college right now. Rogue stuck around. She still lived there while taking classes at a local college, while her roommate Kitty opted to live on campus to do the whole sorority thing. Kurt also stayed behind taking classes like Rogue for obvious reasons. There was peace. There hadn't been any type of mutant attack in years, and while people still feared them, It was beginning to feel like a bad dream in their minds.

The brotherhood walked out on Magneto right before the final battle, in which Magneto had been defeated. All it took was a bomb to defeat him, a special one with no metal. The bomb went off in Albany, and he was thankful that Scott and Jean failed to notice that this was the anniversary of the incident. Lance, Todd, and Fred still lived together, They realize rent is cheaper with roommates, they had cleaned up well.

No one had heard or seen Wanda and Pietro since their father's defeat. When the brotherhood walked out on Magneto, Wanda had played adoring daughter and followed Eric instead, of coarse everyone knew it was because of her fake memories. Pietro decided to play a protective brother and follow. He didn't want to leave Wanda alone with Magneto after everything he had already done. No one thought that Piero had a conscience, after the bomb they hadn't been heard from. They were alive, and for some reason the professor could sense them. The Acolytes had been a different story. They disappeared but most of them were in trouble with the law for various things, mostly petty theft or in one case in particular arson. A couple of them were reformed.

Rogue showed up at the X-jet in civilian clothing, no matter how drunk someone was they were still going to notice three people coming into a bar wearing spandex. She noticed that Scott and Jean were already in the jet, and she climbed aboard.

"So did y'all have fun?"

"It was perfect, romantic, everything I would ever want in a honeymoon." He said yawning, and then reaching over to kiss Scott. Rogue rolled her eyes, mostly out of jealousy. She had an extremely short relationship with Remy, but she dumped him. She felt that she was shortchanging him with the whole fact that she could not touch anyone. Remy's response was to leave without telling anyone where he was going or when he would be back. Scott noticed the sad expression on her face.

"Don't worry. I am sure he'll be back."

"Ahm not worried." She stated bluntly. She could care less where he had run off too. Well actually she did, but she wasn't about to let anyone know about that. "So, umm.. What exactly is y'all's plan?" She asked as she started to stare blindly out the window.

AN: I suck at accents and this first chapter is pretty much garbage, it is all exposition type thing to get back into the characters lives, after being gone for six years. The character's histories are the histories from Evolution so there are no changes.
