Rogue grit her teeth as she anxiously paced the Blackbird. She hated the growing nausea that gripped her guts, and tried to convince herself that she was just worried about the Professor and Scott. But one glance at Mystique and Magneto whispering to each other easily dislodged that theory. She knew why she was so nervous, and it had everything to do with the fact that she was only a step away from the so-called 'Master of Magnetism.'
And if Logan and Jean really thought she was going to just sit by idly and take it, they had another thing coming to them.
They both looked up as one, catching her eye. She refrained from glaring, knowing it would only increase Magneto's joy in getting her riled up.
"We love what you've done with your hair," Magneto said, the smirk that crossed his face causing a white-hot fire to sizzle through her veins.
Glad for once that Bobby wasn't there to restrain her, Rogue didn't hesitate to take off her glove and approach her enemy. Magneto's eyebrow lifted, almost daring her, and so she didn't hesitate to reach out and grab… Mystique.
She smiled into his face when Mystique let out a startled cry, Rogue intensifying the pull to take as much as she could.
"You seem to forget, Erik," Rogue hissed, her form shifting to that of Mystique. "I am not one of your petty minions."
His eyes widened when her form shifted again, into his father, long dead. "Ich weiß, wo Sie von sind..." His mother. "Wen Sie verloren haben…" Himself, a mere child. "Was Sie waren…"
(I know where you are from, who you lost, what you were…)
His aged face stared back at him, his own voice taunting him. "And what you'll become."
She shifted back into her own form, but his eyes remained, piercing into him from within the girl's face. A satisfied grin slowly made it's way across her face.
"Never forget, Erik Lehnsherr, I know you," she said, the look on her face a replica of his own, mocking him as he had done to her.
With a tap to her temple as a last warning, Rogue turned away, walking towards Logan.
Magneto couldn't decide whether he hated or admired her for what she had done.
