1.1 Forced Betrayal

A/N: ok peeps…this is my first fic so please go easy on me. I suck at Rogue's accent so…uh…sorry. Anywho…this is just a random teaser for now and if I get good reviews, I'll continue it. It's all up to you people.

Disclaimer: Don't own anything but the idea.

Rogue walks into the cafeteria with a stoic look on her face, quickly eyeing the crowd for a friendly face. She quickly catches sight of her housemates, laughing to a silly joke Kurt made. She looks away quickly when Kitty raises her hand to catch her attention. Pretending that she hadn't seen them, she walks outside and sits under an isolated tree, pulling out a book and preparing for another waste of forty minutes. A light gust of wind blows some bangs in her face and she swipes them away, annoyed. She feels a tap on her shoulder. After she turned to see who or what it was, she goes back to her book, finally noticing that it is missing.

"The Vampire Lestat again? Weren't you reading this a couple months ago?"

"Ah dun see what concern that is of yars, Pietro. Can ah have mah book back now?"

Pietro gives a slight smirk and hands Rogue back her book. "How did you know it was me?"

"Ya're bout the only person that can sneak up on me. Ya know that. Dun ask stupid questions. An tell tha othas that thay can come out from behin that bush already." Rogue says, rolling her eyes.

"Some things never change, eh Roguey?" Lance laughs as he takes a seat next to her. She just nods slightly and continues to read.

"That book again, yo? Obsessin' a little ain't ya?" Todd says, hopping in front of her.

"Ya'll got a reason ta be crowdin' me? Where's Freddy?"

"Lunch of course. Where else would he be?" Pietro smirks.

"Yah'd think he could pull away for a second." Rogue mutters and continues her book.

"Rogue, we have to talk to you about something." Lance begins.

"If it's about me joinin the x-geeks, I already explained that to ya'll. Ma- "

"We know. Doesn't mean we like it, yo." Todd interrupts.

"Ah know ya dun like it eitha, but its mah mission, not yars. We dun have tah like it, we just have tah deal with it."

"It still affects us, Rogue. It's like loosing family. You know how close we were. You know how much we miss you."

"Ah know but that won't change mah mind. Ah miss ya'll too but ah gotta do this. Ya'll understand me. Ah know ya do."

"We know, Rogue. But live with them, those goody-goodies? Can you do this?"

"Lance, ah got no choice. Now go, before they come out lookin for 'the Rogue'" Rogue rolls her eyes. As she says this, they can see Scott come out of the cafeteria doors, eyes searching for something.

"So predictable." Rogue shakes her head with a frown. "Now go before ah'm forced tah be mean to ya'll" The three brotherhood members give a slight smile and walk back into the foliage. Rogue returns a sad smile and returns to her book.

Pietro pops back out quickly and adds, "Oh and you're bringing the food for tonight's poker game. No food, no entrance. We beggars need to eat ya know." Rogue gives a soft laugh and gives him a quick wink.

"Ah know. I'll 'borrow' some money from Ms. Perfect latah."

Pietro frowns, "Be careful with that one, Marie. You know she doesn't trust you. I don't want you in danger because of some jealous cheerleader."

"Dun worry so much, Petey. Ah got it undah control. Magneto showed me how tah put up mental shields remembah? If worst comes tah worse, ah'll take her powers and rearrange her memories."

"Alright then. If anything happens, gimme a call and I'll be over faster than you can say, 'Pietro is a sex god.'" Pietro grins.

Rogue laughs softly, "Yah wish, sugah! But thank yah." Pietro bends down and gives her a peck on the top of her head. "Now go before Summers gets here. Ah dun want anotha argument like this mornin."

"He started it. I just finished it." Pietro gives a wicked grin and wink before running off.



"Did they fall for it?"

"Shuddap"

"Did they?!" Angry hands grabbed her arms roughly.

"Yeah! Get offa me!" The hands let go.

"You're doing the right thing."

"Says you. Get outta mah face, Summers."

"We aren't making you do anything. You came to us remember?"

"Like hell ah did! Yahr chrome-dome professah brought me here against mah will."

"But you stayed on your own free will."

"Ah stayed cause ah had tah. I wouldn't even be talkin tah you if ah could help it, prep. Dun accuse me of betrayin mah family to help ya'll."

"Whether you like it or not, we are your family now. Not the Brotherhood. Not Mystique. Not 'Petey'." Rogue looks up quickly, hatred burning in her eyes. She quickly grabs his shirt, and puts her face less than an inch for his.

"Yah evah say that tah me again, ah won't hesitate to lay yah out, Summers. Yah dun know who yar messin with."

"I do know, Rogue. As much as you hate to think about it, I know you very well. That's why I have control of you. That's why you'll never touch me. The Professor made sure I see your memories as much as you see mine. I know your secrets, fears, hopes, and I can use all of these against you."

Rogue pushes him away. "Fuck off, Summers. If it wasn't for Xavier's interference…"

"I know. You'd be back in the Brotherhood, mission complete. Unfortunately for you, he did find out about your little scheme and now you're ours."

"Ah'm not yars. Nevah will be so get that stick outta yar ass and leave me alone."

Angry arms push her against the rough tree. "You have no authority here, Rogue. From now on, you belong to us. You are an X-Man, no matter how unqualified you are to be one of us." Scott pushes Rogue away and walks back to a waiting Jean. Rogue slides down the tree, falling onto her knees, letting just one tear fall before composing herself and walking away.



*Professor. The rogue is beginning to rebel again. I think it's time for another session*

*Yes. I believe so. I will deal with it tonight. Get to class*

*Yes professor*

~Later at the institute~

"Rogue, may I have a word with you?" Professor Xavier asks with a fake smile.

"Ah…ah have work tah do."

"It will only take a few minutes." Rogue shrugs and follows the professor to his office.

"Rogue. As you know, I am well aware of what you were sent here to do. You also know that I cannot allow you to do it. It doesn't matter anymore, however, because you are mine now. You are an X-Man. Remember that."

"Yes, Professor"

"You are dismissed" Rogue walks out of the office, the words, "You are mine now. You are an X-Man," continuing to repeat in her head. As she closes the door, the professor lets a wicked grin come onto his face.



"Rogue! Where were you? I thought you were coming over last night!"

"Ah couldn't."

"Why didn't you call me then?"

"Ah didn't have time."

"Did those X-Geeks do something to you?"

"Dun call them that. From now on, I am an X-Man. I am theirs."

"Rogue…what are you talking about? What have they done to you?" Pietro asks, holding her arms gently, worry etched all over his face. Rogue pushes him away with a shove.

"Dun touch me!" Rogue shouts and runs down the hall.

"What's up with her, yo?"

"My guess is that chrome-dome had another 'session' with her. This mission ain't important enough for her to get this hurt. We're calling it off. We get Rogue back tonight." Lance says, staring at the corner that Rogue disappeared from, grim determination on his face.
