Chapter two
Rogue slowly opened her eyes, feeling a slight state of euphoric sedation; she tried to function her limbs normally. Sadly distorted reality doesn't allow that.
(Where am I?) she thought as she tried to get accustomed to her surroundings. Rogue felt as though something was covering her and a blanket or jacket. As her eyes finally open and got accustomed to the light of day she realized she was on top of a building roof top, she slowly set up and notice a long blue coat fall off from a top her.
"Damn still nothing." a voice spoke out causing Rogue to look a head of her and saw the boy she had been with before sitting on a legde and seem to be trying to get a walkie talkie looking device working before looking up at her.
"Oh your a wake! How your head feeling?" Static ask walking over to her as Rogue felt her forehead and found a bandages around it, (That might be why my head ringing like a chunch bell.) Rogue thought with a groan.
"Other then this killer headache fine." Rogue replied as he was now crouching on one knee and place two fingers on her forehead trying to see if she was really okay, Rogue had with out thinking grabbed his hand and about to pull it away but froze at feeling his bare skin, she wasn't wearing her gloves and neither was he, however Rogue eyes widen at realizing she wasn't draining him of his powers!
"How?" Rogue gasped causing Static to raise an eye brow at the girl before he notice she was touching him though he really didn't see what the big deal was.
"Here let me help you up..." Static said standing up and helping Rogue to her feet as she snapped by into reality.
"Hey wait! Where am I, and where are my friends?" Rogue quickly said as Static sheepishly scatch getting the feeling she wasn't going to like what he was about to say.
"Yeah about that."

The Helicarrier, S.H.I.E.L.D. Mobile Supreme Headquarters can be seen hovering over the Baxter Building as a black helicopter flew down to the landing zone and upon landing Nick Fury himself walked out of the chopper with Maria Hill at his side to see Dr. Reed 'Mr. Fantastic' Richards waiting for him with a worry expression on his face.
"Son whatever you call me for had better be importain!" Fury growled wanting to get back to hunting down Trask now that what he had been doing was brought out into the open, Reed nodded quickly and if Fury didn't no any better he'd say the kid had been scary half to death by something.
"It is! Right this way..." Reed said bring them inside and begain making their way to his lab with numerous black-clad armed agents flooding inside as well.
"By any chance, have you been in contact with the Avengers?" Reed ask, Fury and Maria would have to be deaf not to have heard the slight desperation in his voice.
"No as far as we know, Iron Man and his crew are still off helping out the Inhumen fight an invasion on the Moon." Maria said much to Reeds dismay.
"Damn it! We really could have use their help." Reed said catching Fury and Maria's attention as they walk into his lab bring them up to the gate way of the Negative Zone.
"This is the reason I brought you here." Reed said as he motion for Dr. Susan 'Invisible Woman' Storm to begain, typing in the keybroard Fury, Maria, and their agents watch as the door to the Negative Zone open and were all shock at what they saw. Rather then seeing a parallel universe made completely of anti-matter all they saw was a gateway full of energy!
"What is this? Some kind of prison Breakout?" Maria ask fearing they my have an even bigger problem the Trask on their hand.
"I really don't think so..." Susan said walking up to them with a nervous edge about her that was all too clear to Fury and Maria, (This can't be good.) Fury thought.
"From what our reading show, all life sigh of the inmates have cease." eyes focused on Dr. Susan so quickly that there was almost a small burst of static to accompany the movement. "Ms. Susan What did you say?"
"Director their all dead!" Susan told he and the look of shock couldn't have been more right on Fury's face.

Zapping through the air at high speed Static made his way through the town while carrying Rogue before setting down behind a dinner and setting her on her feet.
"Come on, I'm hunger and since I got no money your buying." Rogue nearly order still wearing his coat and flip the hood up before walking out of the ally, Static blink at the girl, it wasn't that he mind buying since doing one of the break he take while working with Batman and Robin to track down Timecode, he and Tim had gone out to lunch and Tim 'Robin's real name' had give him some pocket money to spend and by pocket money he ment over nine hundred dollors! Yeah it paid to be living with Bruce Wayne, so yeah he really didn't care a about buying but Static also didn't to much her bad attitude.
"Hey what are you all mad about, I said I'd take where ever you wanted to go." Static stated with his arms cross causing her eyes to twitch.
"Yeah super, just a few problems. One I don't know where my friends are, two know where I am and can't move around freely with this mutants witch hunt going on, and three I have no idea where you have even taken me!" Rogue yell that late part out at him causing Static to take a step back from the girl.
"Hey I said sorry and for the last time I'm not a mutant, whatever that is." Static replied leading Rogue to raise an eye brow (Someone's in denial, here. I hate to break this to ya, pal, but normal humans don't exactly have the power to to shot electricity out of their finger tips...) Rogue thought placing her hands on her hips.
"Whatever, look after we get a bite to eat, we'll look for the fastest way to the Institute and get the Professor to help ya out now come on... and take off that mask!" Rogue snapped marching up to him and ripping off the show white mask before Static can even react.
"Hey I needed that for my secret identity!" Static yell but Rogue pay him no mind as she simply close the blue coat of his she was wear so no one can see her X-men uniform.
"Yeah, yeah. Now come on." Rogue said grabbing him by the arm, having no plans of letting such a powerful 'mutant' out of her sight, the last thing anybody needed was him running into Magneto or some other power hunger nut out there. Heading out of the ally Rogue made sure to keep her bare hand a round his arm enjoying the feel of human skin contact, she had no idea what was keep her from draining his power but she sure as hell wasn't going to complaining about.
Walking into the dinner Rogue and Static sit at a table cross from each other waiting for the waiter to walk up to them while looking at the menus.
"What can I get for you two?" A heavy set lady walk up to them causing Rogue and Static to turn to her.
"I'll take the beef vegetable soup and a coke." Rogue said placing the menu as the waiter write it down and turn to Static.
"And you dear?" she ask.
"Umm the turkey burger with goat cheese, fries and a Dr Pepper." Static replie and she nodded writing it down.
"Coming right up." she said walking away, Rogue sigh as she left.
"So while we're here we might as well try and get to know one another, so what your name?" Static ask and Rogue eyes shift to him, as much as she wanted to say she didn't know he had save her and been fairly nice, that and the last thing she wanted to do was push her luck with a guy that rack a entire military base.
"It's Anna Marie but my friends call me Rogue, and you?" Rogue ask as her eyes fall on his hands that were on the table.
"Names Virgil Hawkins, you mind telling who this Professor... is?" Virgil question stop at noticing her playing with his fingers and raise an eye brow, however before he could ask the T.V. hang over the counter switch to the new,what had caught both their attention though mostly Rogue was that It was giving a news coverage of the Juggernaut as he was trashing a dame, one that if he broke would flood a small town!
"Juggernaut!" Rogue gasp stand up and shouting out loud causing everyone to turn to her and startleding Virgil, noticing the attenton Rogue quickly put the hood back on and stepping out of the table.
"Change of plans!" Rogue mutter pulling him out of his seat and headed to the door (First she want to eat and now she doesn't? This girl really needs to just make up her mind already!) Virgil thought annoy as Rogue stop and look back to the people of the dinner.
"Hey does anybody know how to get to that place?" Rogue ask pointing to the T.V. behind them.
"Yeah it actually the next town over to the east of here but it's clearly not the best idea to go there right now." one of the waiter said but Rogue just gave him her thank and walk out with Virgil.
"Hey has this got something to do with that Juggernaut guy on the T.V.?" Virgil ask getting a nodded out of her.
"Yeah we've already got a huge mess to deal with now that mutants are out in the open. We don't need him making things worse so we're heading there to stop him." Rogue as Virgil put his hand on his hip.
"See how he is endangering alot of people I was likely going to go and stop him anyway but what looking for your friends?" Virgil ask as Rogue take off his coat and handed back to him.
"They'll likely be heading there too, so this is actually a chance for us to meet up with them." Rogue as he slip back on his coat.
"Cool with me..." Virgil said putting on his blue shades and pull out his disk charging it with power as it hover in the air, then without even asking pick Rogue up in his arms and flew off not see the blush on her face.

-Klaxons! Klaxons! Klaxons! Klaxons!- The loud sound of the alarm right out loud as everyone headed for the gate way of the Negative Zone.
"What going on Richards!" Fury yell as all that energy in the gate way was going haywire now, Mr. Fantastic was typing away at his computer furiously trying to close the gate but the unknow energy had shorted out th system... he couldn't close.
"I don't know sir, but what evers inside is coming out!" Mr. Fantastic shouted back as the gate way begain flashing wildly putting everyone one edge.
"All agents, weapons at the ready!" Maria Hill order and they didn't need much reason to do as they were told and take aim at the gate way with Johnny 'Human Torch' Storm taking on his flame form, Ben 'The Thing' Grimm step up ready to smash whatever came through even Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman tense as a large shadow appear in the gate way before bursting out!
"What the hell is that!?" Johnny Storm yell at the huge gray skin, bone spike monster that came out.
"I'll handled this! It's clobbering time!" The Thing roar charging to do just that but Mr. Fantastic wrapped around him to stop his attack.
"Hold on everyone!" Mr. Fantastic call out.
"What are you doing Richards! Get out of the way!" Maria shout but the Invisible Woman step in front of her.
"No Reeds right, I mean just look at it!" the Invisible Woman point startled her and upon taking a closer look Maria and Fury eyes wide at seeing the frightening monster cover in wounds and seem to be out of breath, it had blood drain out all over it but what really caught their attention was the dark hair girl over it shoulder in a black leotards and had a red cape on her back, she seem to be in just as bad a shape as he was. Unwrapping his self form The Thing, Mr. Fantastic slowly walk to it hoping to god it didn't attack.
"Can... can you... understand me... do you need... help?" Mr. Fantastic ask slowly as the monster turn his bone cover eyes to him turn trying to regain it's breath.
"Run..." It whisper lowly startled everyone that it could talk.
"Run... RUN AWAY!" the monster roar as loud as it could before being blast in the back cross the lab by a power full beam from the gate way!
"What the hell is going on!?" Johnny yell flying up to the gate way, but much to his and likely everyone horror three more shadow appear in the gate way and jump out showing monster that look just like the first one but clearly not the same.
One seem to be cover in metal armor, the second one was half machine with what seem like a gattling gun on it right arm and the last one look just like the first one to come through the gate way but had some kind of purple energy round itand all three yell out in rage at being free.
"More of them!? All agents open fire right now-ack!" Fury's order was cut off when a large gray hand with bones coming out of it in a pattern like a centain mutants he knew grab him and pick him up off the floor and was brought to the face of the first monster.
"Human listen to me!" the monster roar to Fury.
"I will do all I can to hold them off but you must leave this place, you can not win!" the monster growl before taking the girl on his shoulder an placing her in Fury's arms.
"Take this Supergirl as well, when I fall she may very well be this worlds only hope!" Fury's eye wide, (This thing is trying to help us?) Fury thought unable to understand any of this all.
"YOU CAN NOT GET AWAY! ERADICATOR!" A booming voice said from the gate causing everyone even the other monsters that had started attacking the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to stop what they were doing and turn to the gate.
"He coming!" the monster now know as the Eradicator growl out loud.
"NOW THAT THE DOOMSDAYS APPEAR IN THIS WORLD IT MUST BE DESTORY!" at the end it it's words a new surprise was throw at this as a much bigger and much more frightening monster materialized in red energy right in front of them!
I AM THE DOOMSLAYER! AND THIS IS MY DUTY!" the Doomslayer's thunderous voice roar out freezing everyone in their place, they could just feel th power rolling of off him as he stare everyone down before a giant rock like fist slam into his jaw forcing him take a step and turn to The Thing that hit just hit him.
"I don't what your deal is pal but you and your buddys better get your asses back in there before I clobber ya all!" The Thing growl with his fists raise ready to do just that.
"NOOOO! Get away from there!" the Eradicator yell as the Doomslayer glare down at The Thing before grabbing his fists.
"YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME ROCK MONSTER!? the Doomslayer roar gripping his fist so tightly there was cracking sounds.
"GAHHHHH!" Ben scream as his hands were crash much to the shock of everyone there.
"BEN NOOO!" Reed scream seeing his best friend and pain

Right before their eyes, Ben Grimm, The Thing exploaded into nothing but red energy horrifying the remaining Fantastic four, turning to them, the Doomslayer made a horrendous expression to them all. " IT SEEM! I DID IT AGAIN! I GAVE INTO MY RAGE!"
