This is a joint effort between SunsetBabe17 and ms.marie. Don't own anything. After X3, and Betsy was not on the bad side, she wasn't in that part at all. Rogue took the cure, phoenix, scott, and xavier died. it's kinda short, but we're just getting stared. Read on!
It had been a month since the battle at Alcatraz and the death of the Phoenix. A lot of things changed around the Institute since it's founder, Charles Xavier, and two teachers, Scott Summers and Jean Grey, passed away. Ororo Munroe was now running the Institute. There were also many new additions to the school. Hanck McCoy decided to stay as the resident doctor and an X-Man. Warren Worthington III decided to take on a teaching position to help out and also became an X-Man. There was a flood of new students, with the Institute being a known safe haven for mutants.
Jubilation Lee, or Jubilee as she likes to be called, is one of the more outspoken newbies. She's a young Asian girl around Rogue's age who can produce plasma blasts of different colors from her hands, affectionately nicknamed fireworks.
Besty Braddock was another new student, also Asian, with telepathic powers, and able to produce psionic knives, but what was so unique about her was her purple hair. With the amount of students rooms had to be shared and these two became Rougue's new roommates and friends.
The X-Man, though losing two member, still grew in size with the new additions. The team consisted of Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm, Logan a.k.a. Wolverine, Hank McCoy a.k.a. Beast, Warren a.k.a. Angel, Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman, Kitty Pryde a.k.a. Shadowcat, and Piotr Rasputin a.k.a. Colossus. Rogue is not a part of the team since she no longer has her powers, making it too dangerous for her. Betsy and Jubilee are both going through the gradual process of becoming X-Men.
Which is why the two teens came staggering and stumbling into their shared bedroom, exhausted and sweaty after a danger room training session. Rogue was sitting at the desk in the room, doing her homework for Warren's art history class. Betsy plopped down on her royal purple bed, groaning. Jubilee was too tired to walk the short distance to her own bright yellow and pink bed, so she slumped down into a heap on Rogue's emerald green one. Rogue swiveled in her chair to face her two best friends. The two girls, since they were only newbies, trained with the younger x-men, learning how to hone their abilities. Yet, they weren't fully qualified x-men (women, as Jubes would insist) so they weren't allowed to go on missions yet.
"Logan run the session?" Rogue asked. The girls just groaned in response and Rogue gave a knowing smirk. Logan still wasn't into the whole 'hero' thing, but he wanted the kids to be prepared, so he trained them hard. But the girls also thought he took pleasure in seeing them miserable. Logan has always had a soft spot for Rogue, and it seems he cares for Betsy and Jubilee too. But Jubilee likes to rile him up, she likes to watch him explode. Rogue shook herself out of her thoughts and turned to look at her sparky friend, who just so happened to be laying in her bed...all sweaty and smelly.
"Hey!" Rogue cried. "Get offa mah bed, yah sweaty pig!" Jubilee slowly made her way up. Rogue picked up one of Jubes neon yellow pillows and threw it at her retreating form. "And take a shower!" Jubilee went out, down the hall, to one of the mansions many bathrooms. Unfortuanatley, everyone had to share the multiple bathrooms. Not very fun. Shortly after the one Asian left the other followed her example, in search of her own unoccupied bathroom.
