Hey all. This is my first Evo. Fic, and I Rogue is my favorite character. So, I'll be doing mostly those kind of fics.

Summary: Rogue gets a visitor one night, while only her and Ororo and the professor are home. And it isn't Remy (although it will be remy/rogue). Who is this mysterious man and what does he have to do with Rogue's past?

Chapter One

Rogue flopped down on the couch across from Ororo, who was currently reading a thick novel. Rogue grinned slightly and pulled out some notebook paper and titled it "Lost".

Ororo looked up to see Rogue writing rapidly with her black ink pen. Ororo smiled. "At it again?" she asked playfully.

Rogue returned the smile, "Ya know it."

"What is the song about this time?" Ororo asked, extremely interested. She closed her book. She had recently found out a week ago that Rogue wrote her own songs, and sang them when she was alone. Only alone. Ororo had accidently walked in on her when Rogue thought she was alone. Rogue got pretty mad. But, the weather witch calmed her down. After that, Ororo was the only one Rogue could open up to. Ororo liked that.

But before Rogue could reply, the doorbell rang. "Ah, swear- if that's Duncan still chasin' Jean…" Rogue trailed off.

"I'm pretty sure he knows Jean and the others are out at the moment", Ororo commented before standing up, leaving her book behind as she went to the door. Rogue followed.

Rogue glanced at the clock. "Now who would be visitin' at 10:00?" Rogue thought out loud.

Ororo didn't answer as she opened the door. There stood a boy of about seventeen with short, sandy hair and sparkling gray eyes. He was extremely tall and wore a nice red shirt and some khakis. He held a little box.

"May I help you?" Ororo asked politely.

"Yes, ma'am", the boy asked in a southern accent, "Does Crescent live here?" (A/N: I know I jacked that name from one of my other stories, but it was either Crescent or Faith.)

"Crescent? I'm sorry, I think you have…"

"Nathan Cliff, is that you?" Rogue breathed as her green eyes got misty.

The boy looked at her and smiled, "Chris!"

Rogue let out a quiet squeal as she jumped into Nathan's open arms.

"Boy, where have you been?" she asked playfully.

"Ah could ask the same about you", he laughed slightly.

Nathan pulled apart and opened the small box he had been carrying. It revealed a charm bracelet. The charms included doves, sets of wings, and hearts.

"Oh mah gawd", Rogue whispered as she gently took the bracelet from her friend and put it on, "Nat, where did ya find it?" she asked, mesmerized by her long-lost bracelet.

"I came to yoh house one day, and Irene said ya were gone. She gave me yoh bracelet. But… how could ya leave without sayin' good-bah?" he asked, his voice filled with hurt.

Rogue aka Crescent opened her mouth, but no words came out.

"Ahem", Ororo coughed, catching the attention of the two teens, "Maybe we should talk about this in the living room."

"Yes", a voice said from behind Ororo, "That is a very good idea." Professor Xavier led the way.

*_*_*

They all sat in silence as Nathan looked around the mansion. He whistled, "Geez, Chris, Ah can see why ya left home."

Rogue nudged him. Nathan poked her. Rogue tried to give him a warning look but failed miserably. To make up for her giggles, she punched him playfully. He gave her a look of mock hurt and kicked her gently. They exchanged a couple of playful blows before Xavier finally told them to stop.

"Now", he started, "Nathan, please tell us what brought you here."

Nathan looked at the professor as if he was crazy. 'For Chris! Hello?' he thought in his mind. He was about to answer, but Xavier cut him off.

"I see", was all he said.

Nathan's mouth hung open. Can this guy get any crazier? He looked at Rogue, and pointed at the professor. His eyes said 'Is this guy nuts?'

Rogue just laughed and whispered, "He's telepathic. He can read yoh thoughts."

Nathan did a double-take. 'Shit!' he thought, 'This guy could be listenin'…' He stopped thinking, only thinking blank, looking suspiciously at Xavier.

"Um, can Ah have a word alone with Chris, please?" Nathan asked politely, not waiting for a reply as he dragged Rogue out of the room.

"Are ya sure ya don't wanna come back home? There's room foh ya at mah house", Nathan explained quietly.

Rogue let out a snort, "Oh, totally", she said sarcastically to Nathan's dismay. She saw his hurt and said quickly, "Look, Nat, if Ah go back home they'll… they'll treat meh bad again. Lahke Ah don't deserve to live. Here… well, Ah belong here…"

Nathan was about to say something when alarms went of all around the mansion.

An intruder.

TBC!

Weeeeee! Even though Rogue's name is Crescent, I'm gonna call her Rogue. Only Nathan calls her by her nickname, Chris. (my name isn't crescent, but chris is my nickname. I'm so shallow. LoL.)

Bye-Z!
