Mutation: It is the key to our evolution. It is how we have evolved from a single-celled organism, into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few millennia, evolution leaps forward

X4: RETURN OF THE ROGUE

Chapter 1: Welcome home Rogue

Bobby Drake walked down the hall, which led to his girlfriend's room. He noticed that the door was open, so he walked into the room. There she finally was. Three weeks of worry, and now she just sat there, on her bed, looking sad. Bobby stopped near the door, crossing his arms.

"You're back," he said in a low voice, walking closer to his girlfriend. She looked up, sadness in her eyes, and got to her feet.

"I couldn't." She began, Bobby looking confused.

"I couldn't do it." She continued slowly. Bobby looked down at her. He just wanted to hold her, to kiss her. But he knew that it wasn't possible. It had never been, and now, it never would be.

"I'm sorry, Bobby. But this is me," Bobby silent reaction scared her a bit. But to her surprise, he smiled. Well, Bobby's smile was fake for sure. He was in mental pain at the moment she told him, that they never would be, what he thought was a "real couple". But she didn't notice. She never did.

Bobby looked down at her gloved hand for a moment, before he took it and squeezed it gently.

"Welcome home Rogue," he said. Right before Rogue hugged him.
