Disclaimer- I own nothing

Chapter 1

Summary- starts several months after season 4 finishes. This is my version of how the season would have played out. Still angry they never finished the season. Im open to suggestions on plot and what not. Got a basic idea but ideas will help a lot.

"Thank you professor, this really means a lot to me."

"It's no problem Danielle, my only wish is to make you feel comfortable here."

The professor sent a telepathic message to Jean to ask her for assistance in showing the new resident of the institute around the house. Ever since Apocalypse had been defeated the institute continued to grow. First, X23 and Warren decided to stay at the institute and join the x-men followed by a few others.

X23 joining had been, well interesting to say the least. After the battle she had turned up out of the blue, she was not happy in the slightest saying they missed her out of all the action. Bobby laughed thinking she was joking, she wasn't. In the end it took Logan to calm her down and sent her off to the danger room to work off some steam. Needless to say the danger room had to repaired.

Warren joined to become a teacher for the institute to help the students with their powers, in the near distant future the influx of students would require a new teacher. His other motive for joining was to get away from his father, Worthington the first. Recently his father had been pestering Warren to try a new 'medicine' that would revert him to human. Warren finally left when his dad tried to force the drug onto him.

Another new resident of the institute was Forge. Since X23 did trash the danger room and would require a lot of time fixing, he had taken up the offer of staying. The 'young' genius, well technically speaking he was like 50, had problems of his own. His parents were very surprised to see their son, who disappeared 30 years ago and now was standing on their front door not even aged. At first it was awkward, but as time went on as they found out he was a mutant they became hostile towards him. Hence the reason he was quick to take the offer from Xavier.

The next two mutants had not officially joined but were rather guests to the mansion, one wished to join the other wanted to be near Rouge. The first being Pitor, everyone welcomed him with open arms seeing as how he was being blackmailed by Magneto to work for him. Magneto had promised to free his sister, Illyana which Pitor was very grateful for. The next guest had been threatened, all from the same person, the wolverine. This guest was Remy Lebeau, in the space of the few months he had been living at the institute, nearly all the residents were rather annoyed at him. Everyone experienced their valuables becoming missing only to turn up in Gambit's room. Even though they managed to get their stuff back, they still found the process really annoying. Gambit himself claimed he couldn't help it, saying he needed to keep his hands busy, this comment he always waggles his eyebrows suggestively at Rouge. Needless to say Logan would chase him out of the room with his claws out ready to kill him.

As for Rouge, well ever since the whole Apocalypse incident she had become more distant from everyone else. She would lock herself in her room for days or sit on the roof for hours on end, she wouldn't talk to anyone and barely ate anything. Even Kurt and Logan couldn't get her to talk or eat. Xavier didn't blame her after what happened to her over the past year. It didn't help with Mystique showing up around the mansion, even though she didn't let herself be seen, he still could sense her and Logan could smell her.

"I wonder if things will ever be normal again." Mused Xavier as Jean entered the room to meet Danielle Moonstar.

BOOOM

Outside his office the wall broke into a million pieces as Sam flew through it into the opposite wall, crashing through that one as well.

"OI, no fair Sam. No powers!"

From the damaged wall Bobby, Ray and Jamie ran after him playing tag, but mutant style.

"Spoke too soon," muttered Xavier, thinking of how much it was cost to repair the damages from their new game.

"GAMBIT! GIVE MY WALLET BACK!"

Turing to look out of his window onto the institute's grounds Xavier saw Warren chasing gambit across the lawn. Out of the blue Logan joined in with the chase with his claws out yelling at Gambit to stop. Sighing Xavier turned his attention back his paperwork on the desk thinking of who else needs his help.

With Jean and Danielle –

"You will be staying with X23, just a word of advice. Don't annoy her."

Danielle thought she was joking but the look on the other woman's face told her otherwise. Jean still remembered what happened to Alex when he teased her about missing out from the biggest fight in history. He is alive, thank god for that, he returned to his foster parents with a broken arm. If Logan hadn't held her back it would have been a lot worse.

"This is your room."

The room itself was like any other, two beds, two wardrobes and two desks. Unlike any other room this room was clean even with one person living in it. The former assassin had a knack for being tidy and clean, her side of the room looked untouched. Danielle moved over to her side of the room and deposited her belongings, which consisted of only a few sets of clothes, everything she owned onto the desk.

"Don't worry, we'll all go shopping at the weekend for new clothes," said Jean, easily picking up the other girls thoughts.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it, I'll let you get settled in. Dinner is at seven, speak to Xavier soon, he'll tell you your training timetable and when you will start school."

With that Jean left the room as Danielle settled in, in no time at all her room mate X23 walked into the room. She was wearing her Hydra uniform, Xavier had offered a new one but she had flat out rejected the offer.

"Hello X23 my name is…"

"Danielle Moonstar, power to create illusions in peoples mind." Replied the girl without missing a beat.

"Creepy," muttered Danielle, all she was doing was trying to be nice.

"I read you file so I know all about you."

Danielle decided to leave the room and explore, her room mate actually freaked her out.

"This is going to be interesting around here."

- On the roof -

Rouge sat on the roof with her knees pulled up to her chest staring out across Bayville, her cheeks bore the streams of tears both fresh and old. Throughout her life, she had always been used and manipulated, even by her own mother. Lately she started thinking the professor might use her to gain some form of knowledge…

"Stripes?"

Logan's voice drifted across the roof brining Rouge out of her thoughts.

"Hey Logan."

"How do ya fhank ah feel?"

An awkward silence followed as Logan thought of something comforting to say. The wolverine was bred to kill and fight against impossible odds, saying something comforting to a depressed teenager. Yeah not his strong suit.

"If you ever want to talk, my doors always open."

When she didn't reply, he stood up and made his way to the ladder off the roof.

"Logan?"

"Yeah stripes."

"Thanks."

Logan left leaving her to her thoughts once more, not realising someone else had appeared on the roof.

"Hello Rouge."

Rouge leapt to her feet at the sound of the voice she hated most in the world.

"Mystique! What tha hell are ya doing here?"

"I came to see my daughter…"

"What so ya can use meh again?"

"It wasn't like that, I love you Rouge."

"Ya have a weird way of showing it."

Before Mystique could reply, Rouge had ran down the ladder at a speed Peitro would have been proud of.

"Some day Rouge, you, Kurt and I will be together. No matter what."

- Tibet -

In the cave with the pillars and weird Hieroglyphics (the cave in which Apocalypse was raised back from the 'dead' by Rouge) Mesmemro kneeled in the centre talking to himself.

"The all mighty Apocalypse, I can not believe these mere mortals defeated you."

"They can not defeat me that easily!" boomed a voice around the cave that made Mesmemro jump out of fright.

Before his very eyes a large flash of white light engulfed the cave and from it emerged a human being. Not just any human being though, this is Apocalypse, before he transformed his body.

"My lord Apocalypse," gasped Mesmemro as he dropped to the floor bowing to his master.

"Raise my faithful servant."

Mesmemro did as commanded but began to stare at his master who seemed to have… well shrank.

"What happened my lord?"

"Those cursed X-men sent me into the time stream, I managed to escape but my power has severely weakened. I need the one called Rouge to re fill my powers."

"It will be done my lord."

"As for my horsemen I shall find new ones, the old four proved to be weak."

"Who shall we go after my lord?"

"The X-men."
