Anna Owens woke up and stretched. She pulled her husbands pillow towards her and sighed. She hated when she had a day off and he had to work early. He was the sheriff of the small town they lived in, in Illinois. She worked for the local doctor as a nurse.

Anna got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. She glanced in the mirror and noticed her two toned hair was a mess. It was the only mutation she had. She wondered vaguely what it would be like to have powers instead of just strange hair. A mutation she could use to help people. Her husband was the same way. He had red on black eyes but no powers. When she and Remy had first come here a few years ago people had looked at them weird but now no one seemed to care.

She sighed and hopped in the shower. When she was done she dressed and headed downstairs. She supposed she should get some stuff done around the house but she didn't really want too. She decided she would lay around with a book until afternoon, then bring lunch to her husband.

Remy sat in his office with his feet up on his desk. He loved being a cop but sometimes he dreamed of being a thief. He laughed at himself. His deputy walked in. "Hey sheriff you got a visitor." His deputy said. Remy dropped his feet to the ground and watched his wife walk in. "Hey gorgeous." He said.

Anna stared at her husband. "Damn he looks good in his uniform." She thought. "I brought you lunch." She said out loud.

"Thanks love." Remy said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. He kissed her sweetly and Anna's heart melted. They continued to kiss until someone cleared their throat behind them. "Ah sorry sheriff. You got a call on line two." The deputy said.

Remy sighed, pulled his wife down on his lap and answered the phone. "Sheriff Owens." He said into the phone. Anna played with his hair while, he talked on the phone. It was getting a bit long. He kept it short to look professional on the job. She wondered what it would look like long.

"Sorry about that, Now where were we?" Remy asked getting off the phone.

Anna laughed. "About to eat." She said getting off his lap. "You are at work and you are suppose to set a good example." She began to pull out sandwiches from the bag she brought.

Remy watched her. Their lives weren't exciting but they were happy. He thought to himself.

Logan walked through the mansion looking for Kitty. She had said she had programed some new things in the Danger room and she had wanted to show him when he had time. He found her in her bedroom, with a picture frame in her hand. "Hey half-pint." He said.

Kitty looked up. "Hey Logan." She said a bit sadly. She had been looking at a picture of herself and her former roommate.

"Thinking about Rogue?" Logan asked.

"I just wish we knew what happened to her. She's been gone over seven years. And there has been no sign of her. No power use. Nothing. I don't wanna believe she's dead but she just disappeared with out a trace."

Logan sighed. All the inhabitants of the mansion have had this conversation. "I know. We have tried everything to find her."

A tear slid down Kitty's cheek. "I just miss her. I mean she had her powers under control and was really starting to open up. I just wish I knew what happened."

Logan thought back to the day Rogue had disappeared.

They had been fighting Magneto and his new Acolytes. The battle had been harsh but the X-men had won. They watched Magneto and his men leave defeated. Then it was noticed Rogue was no where to be seen. They had searched and then gone after Magneto to see if he had her. But came up empty handed.

Reports of other mutants going missing had reached their ears. All the missing were powerful and had unique mutations. But they had been unable to find anything. None of the missing mutants had ever been found.

Logan shook his head. "If she is anywhere. We will find her." He said to Kitty.

"I hope so." Kitty said and wiped her face.

Anna stood at her oven humming while she made dinner. Remy would be home soon and it was her turn to cook. She checked on the lasagna and then sat at the table. She read the newspaper and sipped some tea. On the front was a picture of the X-men saving people from a burning building. They always looked so familiar to her. She figured it was because they were always on T.V. and in the news paper. Anna looked up when she heard the door open. "Hey honey." She said to Remy as he walked into the kitchen.

Remy kissed the top of her head. "What are you doing?"

"Reading the news paper."

Remy peeked over her shoulder and read the headline. "X-men again?" He said.

"Yeah." Anna said as she put the paper down.

Remy shook off the feeling that the X-men seemed familiar. He sighed and sat down. "Got a call from the sheriff a town over. They are having some mutant based crimes. And they may head our way."

Anna frowned. "That's no good."

"Not so much."

"What kind of crimes?"

"Mostly battery. No deaths so far. But some pretty serious injuries."

"You be careful. They could come after you. At least with my hair most people think I just dye it."

"I will. I'll keep my sunglasses on or wear my contacts. And it's not like I have any powers. So it can be easier to blend."

The oven began to beep. Anna got up and pulled out the lasagna. She cut it and sat a large piece in front of Remy. And then got herself some.

Remy took a bit. "Mmm. This is great."

Anna smiled. "Thanks. I'm glad my cooking has improved."

"Me too."

Anna hit him.
