Rogue's POV
This was my only fifth day here and I already knew most of what I needed to know: Jake Lester, the "Other Guy" in this Hell-hole of a school. Jenny Thrish, the "Other Girl" in this Hell-hole of a school. And their both in my History class. Woo, Woo for me, I thought as I sat on a bench after my third period class (a.k.a: History) outside of me, Kitty, and Kurt's new high school. I was learning about a lot about the people here pretty quickly. I think it's because everyone is just so damn easy to read.
"Hey, Rogue?" Kitty asked. I turned to look at her. "Do you think Audi and Lennie will want us to stay? They seem pretty nice and all." yep, this was my Kitty. Always afraid of rejection, but aren't we all sometimes?
"Kit, Ah don't know if well make it threw frickin lunch. Let's just take care of one thing at a -" I was cut off by a yelp coming from the other side of campus. Both Kitty and me looked up, we weren't met with a pretty sight. It was Kurt surrounded by a bunch of other guys. And it was Kurt who had yelped. "Kitty, go get a teacher."
"Rogue, what are you-"
"Kitty, now." I sent Kitty off to the main building of the school as I stood and started toward the group of boys. As I was getting closer I heard one of them say: "You fag, get you and yowl bitch-ass girlfriends out of my town!" and guess who it was! Jake Lester, the- oh you guys know!
"No one talks about my sisters like that!" Kurt (literally) growled, I noticed that he was defending me and Kitty and not himself. It made me proud and mad at the same time. Kurt was now up in Jake's renascence painting of a face. "No one!"
"I just did. What are you gonna do 'bout it?" Jake asked. He wasn't asking Kurt to fight him. He was asking Kurt to kill him, and where the hell is Kitty!
"You don't want to know, bastard!" I saw Kurt holding deadly rage that was sure to break free at any moment.
"Then I'll show you what'll happen if you don't say out of my way!" Jake yelled in Kurt's face. Lester was of a football players build, 6'2'' and in great physical shape, witch was why fear raced threw me when he pulled his fist back and put his whole torso into the motion (where had I seen that before). His fist made contact to Kurt's lower lip. I ran forward and fought my way threw the crowd that had gathered when Lester started to yell. I got in the middle of the circle just as Jake threw another punch.
The motion was already half way threw when I popped in front of Jake, and his large hand punched me in the stomach. I was doubled over and Kurt was by my side. His hands were on my shoulders, and I knew his death threat to Jake wasn't a threat anymore; it was a promise.
Kurt got in front of me, and pulled his own fist back. Kurt was just about to ram Lester in the gut when there was a sharp whistle from behind the circle. Coach Walter finally got what was happening. That or Kitty had finally gotten a teacher. Sure enough, Kitty appeared beside Kurt a moment later.
"Anna, Kurt, are you two Okay?" Coach Walter asked.
"Just peachy. Whats a little internal bleeding?" I asked sarcastically my stomach hurt so much, I didn't even have the energy to correct him on my name. I felt my stomach start to heave and churn, thats when I noticed Lester had successfully hit me square in the solar plexus. Woo, woo for me. I sank down to my hands and knees and vomited up what was left of breakfast and. . . blood? I heard gasps and someone call out "Call 911!" before my arms gave out and I collapsed onto the ground. The last thing I saw before everything went black was Kurt's face, with his bleeding lip and worried eyes.
*~0~*
Everything was dark, but everything wasn't silent or still. I couldn't see anything, but I heard a few people start to scream as almost everyone else yelled "Call 911!" I felt someone pick me up bridal style. It wasn't Coach Walter, or Kurt; whoever they where they where two tall and lean to be either. The mysterious stranger laid me down on one of the benches that where outside the main entrance of Lincoln High School ((A/N) couldn't think of a real high school so I used my favorite president).
Sense my eyes will not be opening anytime soon, I'm gonna call the dude who picked me up, DWPMU (dude who picked me up). DWPMU put my head so that my right ear was on the hard concrete of the bench and my moth was open. After a few minutes, though it felt like hours, of me just laying on the bench and DWPMU making sure I wouldn't choke on my own puke, I heard the sirens of an ambulance getting closer.
After a few seconds I heard other voices, female and male, that weren't from my classmates. I was picked up by my shoulders and ankles and then was laid down on one of those stretcher things. I heard one voice ask Kurt if he had any loose teeth or would like to be looked at to make sure everything was fine. He replied with a no. Then I was loaded into the ambulance.
"Her heart rate is too high for her blood pressure." one of the doctors said. What I heard: "blah blah blah medical words blah." I felt my hearing start to go and I was out of energy to fight o stay semi-conscience. I let myself fall into that dark space between my eyes and let go of everything. Soon I couldn't hear anything, not even that ringing you hear when there's silence in your room at night. I couldn't feel anything, like my body wasn't connected any more. It felt peaceful.

Kurt POV
Lester was a dead bastard, he just didn't know it yet. He punched my sister! He is gonna die. He is gonna die. He is gonna die. He is gonna die. I shot him a look from where I was standing. He knew now. Lester was getting yelled at by Coach Walter. Rogue was one of the few who liked gym and participated, I could tell Coach Walter wanted to punch Lester. I would have helped him.
"Kurt, don't do anything stupid." Kitty warned.
"Why would you think I would do something stupid?" I frowned as I thought about it for a second. "Don't answer that."
"Don't go after the bastard until Rogue is Okay. She probably wants to hit him first." Kitty said. She wasn't her usual self right now. She was mad. So very mad. Lester is a dead bastard.
"I'm just dreading the Phone Call." I said as Coach Walter dragged Lester off the walkway and into the school building.
"What pone call?" Kitty asked.
I mimicked a secretary holding a phone to her ear. "Hello this is the secretary for Lincoln High School. We are sorry to inform you, but your son, Kurt Wagner, was in a fight today. And so was your Daughter. But she is now at the hospital. Have a good day!" I put the fake phone down. "That phone call Kitty, the one that'll get my cute ass grounded until we move foster parents."
"But, Lester was the only one to throw a punch, you most likely won't get in trouble." Kitty pointed out. "Besides, I heard that Lester was gonna be kicked off the football team!" Kitty started doing a little victory dance as she sang quietly: "We ruined his life! We ruined his life! We ruined his life!" I rolled my eyes.

DWPRU (Dude Who Picked Rogue Up)
Magneto's plan was coming along perfectly, now all I need is a reason to get close to her after she's better. Although she will be taking French in three weeks when the semester ends. That'll be my chance.
"Sir?" one of the doctors asked me.
"Oui?" ((A/N) all translations will be at the bottom of the chapter, thanks to InSaNe ChErRy BlOsSoM) I answered.
"Would you mind telling me your name, what you do here, and what happened?" the tall, thin brunette doctor in front of me asked.
"My name be Remy, or Mr. LeBou; I am de French teacher 'ere; an de garçon over dere started to yell at de jeune femme's frère. Den de garçon punched de femme's frère on de kisser. Den de femme broke th'ough de crowd an de garçon punched de femme in de stomach." the doctor nodded and walked back to the second ambulance that had sown up.
I walked back inside Lincoln High and into the teachers lounge. I needed a beer, but the closest thing here was here was coffee and a few soadas. I needed caffeine. I took one of the mugs off the counter by the coffee pot. I put half a mug of black coffee, I walked over the the table that the the soadas were piled on and picked up he Mt. Dew, and poured it in my coffee. Not the best tasting concoction, but it had had a powerful kick of caffeine, and thats just what I needed. Watching the beautiful femme being punched by a stupid garçon when it hasn't even been lunch yet really takes it out of you.
"How was the fight?" the freshmen English teacher, Mrs. Ethel, asked as she came threw the door.
"De same bad fighting skills all high schoolers 'ave." I said, sounding as board as possible. I took a long drink of my coffee/Mt. Dew caffeine kick.
"Wonder if all theses fights will ever stop. This is the fourth one this month." Mrs. Ethel said as she got a cup of coffee, drowning it in cream and sugar.
"On peut Seulement espèrer." I mumbled out from my coffee mug.

The Morgans' residence
Audi POV
I walked from my relaxed position on the couch when the phone rang, and it was right in the middle of How I Met Your Mother! I picked up the land line on the second ring, and almost hung up when I heard a recorded message start.
"Your daughter Anna Marie has been in an emergency and is now at King's Daughter's hospital, room 308 on the second floor in the emergency wing. Doctors need your signature to operate, and stop the internal bleeding in her upper abdomen. Please come at once." I was shocked to say the least, but I didn't waste any time. I grabbed my purse, cell phone, and my car keys and was out the door. I ran to the drive way and yanked the door to me and Lennie's black Maserati Quattroporte ((A/N) Picture on profile). I jumped in the drivers side and pushed the keys into the ignition and turned them. The car started with a satisfying rumble of the engine.
I pushed the emergency lights on and slammed on the gas peddle. I drove threw the small neighborhood we lived in and went to the freeway. I was almost at King's Daughter's, and soon the building was in my line of sight. I parked in one of the fifteen minute parking spaces and climbed out, and ran to the front desk.
"I'm looking for Anna Marie, she's in room 308 second floor emergency wing. How do I get there?" I asked frantically.
"Are you a parent or legal gardian?" the nurse at the front desk asked.
"I am her foster mom." I said. "Now, how do I get to her room?"
"Go down that hallway, take the elevator up to floor two, then go half way down the hallway on your right, and it's that room." the front desk nurse said.
"Tank you." I said before taking off down the hall and following the directions she gave me. Soon I reached Anna Mar- Rogue's room. There were doctors in the room, and when I walked they all turned and looked at me.
"I am Anna's foster mother." I said. "What happened?"
"Your daughter has internal bleeding in her upper abdomen, and we need your signature to operate." one of the doctors said.
"Where're the papers?"
(A/N) FIVE PAGES ON OPENOFFICE! A new record! Tell me how you liked this chap. It took a lot longer than I expected because I had to do a lot of research on internal bleeding, and hernias, but I was sick on V-Day (XP) so I had time.
Translations:
Jeune: Young
Femme: Woman (most Romy readers probably know this by now)

You should all know that the translations above are all LOOSE translations and that I don't speak or write French (even though I really REALLY want to).
