"Hey Scott! You seen Rogue?" Bobby called to Scott.
"Nope. Try Logan." Scott said.
Bobby ran around the mansion looking for Logan and Rogue. He found Logan in the garage. "You seen Rogue? I can't find her anywhere," Bobby said.
"She went to the mall with Kitty and Storm," Logan said.
"Why…well thanks." Bobby went back inside and sat on the couch.
At the mall!
Kitty and Storm dragged Rogue threw the mall. They stopped in almost every store. After a few hours, Rogue left them to go to the bathroom. She didn't have to go, but she needed a break. Her break was cut short when her world suddenly went black.

Victor received an assignment from Magneto. It was simple, capture the girl known as Rogue. It was easy enough to locate her. He didn't want to fight the two girls that were with her, especially since they would probably call in the other X-men. He watched them, waiting for a chance. Finally, that moment came. Rogue started walking away from the others. He jumped at this chance and followed her. He snuck up on her and hit her pressure point to make her pass out. When he picked her up, he felt a kind of…pull…towards her. He felt weird…her scent was…He shook it off and left the mall without anyone noticing. He set her in the passenger seat of the car Magneto let him use. He sat in the car, started it up, and drove away. Too easy. He was met with no resistance whatsoever. He drove to Magneto's hideout and carried her inside to Magneto's "office."
"Very good. Put her in the room upstairs. I'm putting you in charge of her protection and restraint if necessary," Magneto said and waved Victor away.
Victor just growled as he carried her upstairs and put her in the bed. He stared at her until she turned on her side. Victor walked outside and sat down outside her door.

"Rogue has been gone a while…" Storm said.
"Yeah, she probably blew us off to go wherever she wanted," Kitty said.
"Maybe we should go find her."
"Aw, why?"
"We have to. She's our friend and part of our team."
"Yeah, you're right. Let's go." Kitty and Storm checked everywhere in the mall, but couldn't find her.
"She probably went home," Kitty said.
"Then we will have to go home to be sure." Storm and Kitty walked out to the car and drove back to the mansion. When they arrived, they both headed to Rogue's room. Storm knocked on the door, but there was no answer. The door was locked so Kitty passed through. 10 seconds later, Kitty opened the door.
"She's not here!"
"Maybe she just hasn't gone to her room yet. She could be around here somewhere." The duo ran around the mansion looking for Rogue. The longer they looked, the more frantic they became. When they couldn't find her, they started asking everyone if they had seen Rogue. Unfortunately, no one had seen her. They all asked the same question, "Wasn't she with you?" The only person they didn't ask was Logan. Kitty heard Logan's motorcycle outside.
"Storm! He's back!"
"Good! Hopefully he knows something."
"Or maybe she is with him!" Kitty and Storm ran outside hoping Rogue was with Logan. Logan got off his bike and they saw he was alone. Well there goes THAT idea.
"What are you two doin out here?" Logan asked.
"We were wondering if you've seen Rogue," Kitty said.
"Not since this morning. Why?"
"We…can't find her."
"What?"
"Well we were at the mall and…she went on her own for while…and she never came back."
Logan growled. How could they lose her?! He got on his bike and drove away. He was going to the mall to track her down. Logan was tense the entire drive. When he finally got to the mall, he parked and practically ran inside. He sniffed around and found her scent, but he also found Sabertooth's scent. And it smelled like he was close to her the whole time. When Logan reached the spot where Victor took Rogue, he could smell their scents combine and he didn't like it. Logan growled low in his throat. He followed their scents back outside. It had rained on and off the entire day. Now their scents were gone. Logan could barely contain his anger. Victor had dared to take Marie away, and Logan would make sure Victor paid for it. Logan was determined to get her back. He would stop at nothing.
