Arania's POV:

I stuck with Logan after Remy left the island, but only because I had a feeling that he was gonna need my help soon. I walked close behind him, only popping closer when he turned to gripe.

"I can teleport us to wherever we're going, if you want," I said. He turned around and walked back to me.

"Can you teleport us to New York City?" he asked. I nodded and grabbed his arm. Seconds later, we appeared in an alley in NYC in different clothes than we had teleported in. "Thanks, kid." He began to walk away. I ran after him.

"Please don't leave me alone," I said. "I don't want to be alone."

"Look, kid. I don't think that you should stick around me," he said. "I don't want or need you to get hurt because of me again." He walked off, leaving me alone in the middle of the sidewalk. I ran the other way. A little while later, I ran into a tall, stocky man who had nails like a bag lady. He grabbed my shoulder hard.

"Let me go!" I cried as his nails dug into my skin.

"Well, well, well," the man said. "If it isn't the little Rogue."

"Let go of me now," I hissed. My hands started to steam. The man just laughed.

"What are you gonna do to me?" he asked. I grabbed his wrist and burned it, making him let me go. I ran away as fast as I could, only to run into another man with white hair.

"Please don't hurt me," I said softly. I looked behind me and saw the man from earlier weave his way through the crowd. "Please don't let him hurt me."

"I won't," the white-haired man said. He pulled me through the crowd to a bald man, a black-haired girl, and a boy with red sunglasses. "Sabertooth is after her, Charles. She's not safe out in the open."

"Arania, come with us," the girl said. I looked at her like she was crazy. "Ara, don't you remember me?"

Skyler's POV:

"Skyler, remember. She may not remember you," Professor Xavier said to me.

"I understand that, Professor," I said. Eric came towards us, with Ara in tow.

"Sabertooth is after her, Charles. She's not safe out in the open," Eric said. Professor X nodded.

"Arania, come with us," I said. She looked at me like I was crazy. "Ara, don't you remember me?"

"I-I don't remember anything," she said. Sabertooth was getting closer.

"Professor, get these people off the sidewalk before they get hurt," I said. All of the people moved out of Victor's way.

"Give me the Rogue, and no one gets hurt," he said. Ara cowered into Eric's side.

"Victor, just leave her alone," I said, making eye contact. He turned and walked away, leaving her with us. She never left Eric's side the whole ride back to the mansion. "Ara, come with me. You're safe now." She looked up at Eric, who nodded, and followed me to her room.
