Chapter 1

2 bodies lay strewn on the floor, one a brunette her hair in a pony tail, the other also a brunette but also with a white strip thru her hair. Standing above them stood the ancient mutant known only as Apocalypse. With a gesture of his right hand the 2 bodies rose into the air. Apocalypse then brought up his left hand and a strange gray light bathed over the bodies then dissipated.

1 hour later

"Professor" called out Jean Grey "I found Kitty and Rogue there both unconscious". Within moments Professor Xavier, Wolverine, Storm and Cyclops were in the room. Wolverine and Cyclops each picked up one of the unconscious girls and followed the others back to the blackbird. " Gotta give them some credit" said Wolverine " They have guts taking on the big A alone after he managed to separate us." "Yes" sighed Xavier "I just hope they have not played too high a price for their bravery".

Back at the Institute Xavier and Beast attended to Kitty and Rogue, while the rest of the X-men awaited word on their colleagues. Finally Xavier emerged and informed them that Kitty and Rogue were fine physically and he hoped to learn more once the girls awoke.

Rogue winced and rubbed her eyes, where am ah she wondered briefly before realizing she was in the Institute's hospital wing. Suddenly she remembered her and Kitty taking on Apocalypse. "Kitty" she called out, wondering where her best friend was. "It's ok Rogue, I'm right here" answered Kitty from the next bed over. "Girls" said Xavier ,"I am glad to see your both awake." "Can either of you remember what happened ?" " The last thing ah remember is Kitty phasing us thru a wall and boom we're face to face with the big A " Rouge said. " Then he waves his hand and a wave of forces slams into us and the next thing ah know ah'm in here, Rogue finished.

" Yeah that's what I remember to professor. " Kitty added, " It was weird while I was out I had a dream of being covered by a gray light. " Kitty also added. " That's strange " said Rogue " Ah remember that to." " Very Interesting " said Xavier " Girls be sure to let me know if either of you recall anything else." Both girls assured him they would, and Xavier satisfied they were not injured allowed them to leave the hospital wing.

" Not a fun way to spend a day huh " Kitty asked Rogue. " Tell me about it " Rogue replied " Ah'm starving wanna grab a sandwich ?" Rogue asked. " No thanks I think I'm going to take a long bath " Kitty answered. " See ya back in the room " Rogue called to her as Kitty started up the steps with a wave. Rogue laughed and turned towards the kitchen, when suddenly she was overcome with intense pain. She screamed and collapsed in incredible pain, As she felt herself losing consciousness', she heard more screaming, struggling to turn her head she saw Kitty, also screaming in pain laying on the stairs.
