-1CHAPTER ONE
It is an extra ordinarily quiet day at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. Most of the X-Men were in town shopping. The Professor was in Cerebro searching for new mutants to join his cause and fight for a better place for mutants and humans alike. One mutant in particular had recently caught his attention, a female around the Orlando area. She had caught his eye because of the nature of her powers. It appeared she was a shape-shifter who could absorb powers, like the X-Men's own Rogue. He wondered if her powers were as uncontrollable as Rogue. Using Cerebro he could tell she had been using several different powers recently and using them a lot. He decided that he should send a team down to Florida to investigate. Using his own powers of telepathy he sent a message to each of his students: X-Men I am calling a meeting tonight after dinner.
Later that night everyone gathered in the War Room for the meeting. "It has recently come to my attention of a new mutant in the Orlando vicinity. I am particularly intrigued by her because of the nature of her powers. She has shape shifting powers but also has the ability to absorb others powers."
With that Rogue's eyes opened wide. "Ya mean like mine Professa?"
"Its unclear right now as to the extent or true nature of her powers Rogue. That's why I have decided to send a team down there and investigate. I would like Storm, Gambit, and Wolverine to go. You should leave in the morning. So make sure you get plenty of rest tonight. She has been using her powers very frequently so be careful X-Men." With that the Professor ends the meeting. Everyone leaves the room with the exception of the Professor and Rogue. "I know that you would like to go on this mission Rogue, but I don't think it would be wise due to the situation."
"Ah thought ya didn't read our minds without permission Professa," Rogue asks.
"It doesn't take a psychic to tell your have a great interest in this mutant Rogue."
"Guess not, huh"
"You should go rest too Rogue. You had a rough session in the Danger Room earlier and with three of the X-Men away I need you to be alert. You never know when the brotherhood might attempt another stunt."
"Thanks Professa," Rogue walks out the War Room and heads to her dorm room. Meanwhile, the Professor thinks to himself If what I am sensing is correct we might be in for a surprise.
