Chapter three.

Every light in Sky's home was off. She was apparently alone. Slowly she eased her bike into the garage and pulled her gear off. She didn't need the stupid gear anyway. With a quick glance over her shoulder she closed the garage door behind her and headed toward the house. She paused outside the front door, with her hand extended toward the door knob. Something was wrong.

She shrugged it off and without hesitation this time opened her front door. The first thing she noticed was her parents sitting on the couch facing the door. Fear clenched her heart as her eyes adjusted to the light and her emerald eyes found the men nestled into the dark corners of her living room.

Wide-eyed she turned to her foster parents. "What have you done?" she whispered. Her mother was the first to speak.

"Honey, I think it would be best if you went with these men. They say they have doctors that can help you."

Sky took a step back but was cut off by a man dressed in a black uniform. She didn't recognize the symbol on the shoulder, the large white FOH, but the gun in his hand rang clear in her head. She closed her eyes and concentrated.

"It's the only way" her father was saying…no not her father. Her father was out there somewhere. A mutant like her. He would help her. If only she could get to him.

"You never loved me." She whispered.

"That's not true." Her mother said. No sooner had she spoken did Sky feel an elbow connect with the back of her head. She tumbled to the floor and her vision darkened.

"You said you wouldn't hurt her."

"If she won't come with us she's a criminal. Criminal's must be punished."

Criminal? She wasn't a criminal. But if this was the law maybe she should be. She closed her eyes tightly and pictured her garage in her head. She saw her motorcycle; all the protective gear Nick had bought her, everything. Without warning she disappeared.

When she opened her eyes she was standing in front of her bike. She leapt on it, only just remembering to grab her helmet, and then pressed the button to the garage. She was baking out and heading toward the entrance to the estate when she heard the sirens. The police! What kind of sick twisted reality was this?

Well if she was running from the law, she was going to give them something to chaise. She pointed her bike toward the interstate and let it fly, not glancing at the speedometer once. What did she care if she was breaking the law now? If they caught her, they would experiment on her until they could find a cure. She didn't need a cure. Her gift was the only thing she had to remind her of her real parents. She'd be damned if she was going to let them take it.

She had no idea where she was heading, but one thing was for sure, she wasn't stopping until she couldn't hear the sirens anymore. She just hoped the Gambler could make it.

The X-Jet

"I don't see why I had to come." Rogue complained, leaning back in her seat. Logan sat beside her, grinning from ear to ear like an idiot. Apparently he was enjoying her suffering.

"It wouldn't be the same if you didn't come, Aunt Rogue."

Luke sat in front of Logan and Rogue. Luke was Storm and Logan's child. He was sixteen, and full of himself. It was quite amazing how he had, in a way, inherited Storm's power. Without all of the technical terms, he shot lightening out of his fingers. He had his mother's dark skin, with Logan's brown hair and matching eyes. He was built like Logan, but sweet and calm like his mother. Rogue called it poetic justice.

At the moment, however, she called it minor annoyance.

"Don't fret, Darlin. It will be over before ya know it. Besides, what's one more teenager?"

Rogue groaned. According to Charles the new mutant was female, sixteen, and apparently running from the law. The last place he had tracked her was somewhere outside of Georgia. Any closer to Louisiana though and Rogue was going to call it quits. Nothing, on Earth or in Heaven, could get her to go back to Louisiana. The team would just have to go without her. For now, their mission objective was to track down the rogue mutant and convince her to come with them back to the institute, promising to clear her name hopefully.

Kurt sat in front of Rogue, his blue tail curling and uncurling in anticipation. Scott and Storm manned the ship in the front, both making adjustments each time Xavier rang in their heads. He was back in the mansion, keeping track of the girl. Beast had stayed with him. In Jean's place was her daughter Susan, with her long red hair and green eyes. She was currently filing a nail. At one point she pointed the nail toward Kurt's tail and fired a red blast from it. Kurt yelped and glared at Susan before sighing and mumbling something about kids being kids.

"Scott, tell your brat to quit!" Rogue called up but Scott simply replied, "Susan," in a stern voice. Rogue shook her head. If her sixteen year old daughter had done that, Rogue would have smacked her. At least she thought she might have smacked her. If it was a girl. She didn't know. Now she wished she and Remy had peeked, just once, to see what the sex of the baby had been. Maybe that would have helped.

Bobby sat behind Rogue, the years only adding a mustache to his boyish features. Beside him sat Jubilee who was constantly on the phone with Jean. "Are you sure Andrew's okay?" she asked. Bobby finally snatched the phone from her and closed it.

"He's fine, Honey. He's not two anymore."

"Four isn't that much of a difference, Bobby."

Logan chuckled and Rogue stared out the window. Jamie and Tabitha had left three years ago, after Evan had died in a car crash on his way to see his girlfriend, Tabitha. Roberto and Amara were on and off, depending on when John was in town. On when he was gone, off when he was home. Often Rogue felt sorry for Roberto, but he never seemed to mind, swearing he'd win her heart one day.

As for the brotherhood, they rarely heard from Mystique anymore. Kitty and Lance ran it for the most part. Blob and Toad still lived there, and were still single. Rogue was beginning to think they'd never find a girl that liked them, although Wanda put up with them enough. She was currently dating a man by the name of Warren Worthington. At the moment, Nick Furry was also living with the brotherhood, much to Lance's dismay. If the seven of them weren't enough, John had joined their little group, staying with them when he was in town. For the most part he spent a lot of his time in Australia, although lately he showed up more often than not.

Quicksilver and Magneto had long disappeared, although the X-men were always waiting for their return. Colossus joined the Brotherhood as well, once the acolytes broke up. Surprisingly, he had his eye set on Wolfsbane. Rahne, however, was attempting to simply shrug off what she was calling a crush, even though she blushed when you mentioned Piotr.

There were many new students, and Charles was forever sending them out after another mutant. But for the most part, the originals were the only ones who stayed. Many mutants came and went, but the X-men, were forever one.

"X-men, I've got some information on the girl your after. Her name is Sky Ellers. She lived with her foster parents in Florida all her life. Apparently her foster parents don't approve of mutants. They have the law after her for stealing a motorcycle. She'll go to jail for Grand Theft Auto. Currently, I've located her in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm sending you the location of the hotel she's in. Be careful, X-men, she's going to be jumpy."

As one, the X-men nodded, and then continued their conversations. Rogue's eyes searched the ground below her. "Poor girl," she whispered and Logan glanced at her.

"What's eatin ya, stripes?" he asked quietly, making sure none of the others heard him.

"It's just…you don't think…" Logan sighed and shook his head.

"Don't ask me a question you ain't gona like the answer to, darlin." She sighed.

"I was just thinking." She mumbled and he huffed.

"Well don't."

Atlanta Georgia

It was late. Emerald green eyes searched the area around her as Sky hurried into the grocery store. Grocery shopping was not a good idea at the moment, but she had to live off of something. She had only been at the hotel for two days, and she knew that authorities would find her soon. So she had decided to check out early. Her eyes searched the grocery store slowly as she walked down the isles. She needed food that didn't need to be frozen or heated.

Three bags of chips, a litter of soda, and a deli plate of sandwiches was all she found. She paid for it quickly with the rest of her money and piled the bags onto The Gambler. Once she was sure everything was secure she headed out, not quite sure where she was going.

It was eleven before she finally gave up. She didn't have any money so she definitely wasn't staying at a hotel, and she was about to run out of gas. Her eyes caught sight of a catholic church and she made for that. As if her night couldn't get any worse, the sky decided to open up and began to pour. She cursed everything she could think of and then repented for cursing on holy ground.

Slowly she pulled into the church parking lot and killed the engine. "Forgive me for what I do," she muttered as she pushed her bike up onto the porch of the church. It was a small church, the entire outside of which was painted white. The white double doors were locked. She bit her lip to keep from cursing and instead looked for a window. "I know I'm going to hell" she muttered as she leaned back on the white railing of the porch. It was just close enough that she could put her feet on the church wall.

With one swift movement she shoved her feet through the window and with a loud crash landed on the now glass covered floor. "Ow" she muttered and rose slowly to her feet, noting the slashes on the palms of her hands. She glanced at her elbows to find the same there, and her jeans were ripped around her ankles.

"Great" she muttered. She returned to the front door and unlocked it, throwing the double doors wide enough so that she could pull her motorcycle inside. She closed the doors back, after leaning her bike against a pew, and locked them, just as they had been before. Dusting off her hands, she turned to the church behind her.

It was smaller than it looked from the outside, with only twenty rows of pews between her and the podium on the red carpeted stage. There was a door to the side of the stage that she prayed lead to a kitchen and bathroom. Didn't all churches have kitchens?

She pulled her bike off the wall and carefully maneuvered it between the rows, grimacing at the stain the mud from her tires was leaving on the red carpet. She made it to the door and opened it to find only a hallway. Sighing she pushed her bike through, very carefully, and then walked it down the hallways.

The bathrooms were the first things she found, and then another hallway that lead to a back door. She leaned her bike against that wall, just in case she had to make a quick getaway, and headed in search of a kitchen. She found it at the end of the hall. Gratefully she returned to the bike and snatched her bags off of it. Once everything was shoved into the fridge she was able to relax a bit.

"Sorry," she whispered up toward the ceiling and crossed herself. First thing she was going to do was clean the sanctuary. After an hour of searching she found a supply closet, with a vacuum cleaner and a broom in it. She took both into the sanctuary and set to work cleaning up the mud and the glass. She couldn't repair the window but at least the sanctuary looked better.

Exhausted she returned the supplies and shrugged out of her jacket. She picked a pew and within a few moments she was fast asleep.

The X-men.

The X-men stared quite dumbfounded at the church they were standing in front of. It was midnight, and Charles had told them he had last seen her entering the church. Jubilee and Bobby had stayed on the jet, along with Storm and the teenagers who were fast asleep. Logan, Kurt, Rogue, and Scott were the only X-men stupid enough to be standing in the middle of the road, during a rainstorm, at midnight.

"So, who goes in zer first?" Kurt asked. Logan glanced at Rogue who glanced at Scott who glanced at Kurt.

"Alright," he sighed. "I'll go. But you better be out here ven I return." And with that he vanished in a cloud of sulfur. Rouge snatched the flashlight from Logan and headed toward the church.

"Come on," she called over her shoulder and sighing Scott and Logan joined her. She flashed the light on the front of the church and smirked. "Nice." Logan muttered as the light illuminated a shattered window.

Rogue headed toward the window and was about to step through when Scott hissed, "Shouldn't we try the door?"

"She wouldn't have broken the window if the door was unlocked." Logan replied and sent Scott a look that said, duh! Rogue shook her head and climbed through, being careful of the pieces of glass that still protruded from the frame. Once inside she searched for Kurt. He appeared in front of her and put his finger to his mouth, shushing the group.

"She's asleep" he whispered and pointed toward a row up front. Rogue followed him silently and was surprised at what she found. The sixteen year old girl was curled up on the pew, her arms wrapped tightly around herself and her brown hair falling into her face. She was slender, but clearly blessed. Her brow was furrowed, hinting at a nightmare she was having. Rogue's heart melted at the sight of her but she ignored it and turned to Logan.

"We can't just kidnap her" she whispered. Logan sighed and cleared his throat, loudly. No response. Rogue bent down and gently shook the girl awake. This time it was an instant response. Her eyes snapped open, revealing wide emerald eyes. For a moment she didn't move, her eyes passing from Kurt, to Rogue, to Logan and then to Scott.

"Shit" she mumbled and closed her eyes.

"Ve're here to help…" but Kurt didn't get to finish his sentence. In the blink of an eye she was gone.

"What the hell?" Logan asked and Rogue slapped him.

"Your in church!" she scolded and he shrugged.

"She teleported" Kurt mumbled. No sooner had the words left his mouth did they hear the roar of an engine.

"Come on!" Rogue cried as she jumped to her feet. She flung open the side door and made it to the back door just as the girl burst through it on a motorcycle.

"Kurt, can ya catch her?" Logan asked and Kurt disappeared in a cloud of sulfur.

"Let's go!" Scott ordered, slipping into his leader role. Rogue rolled her eyes but followed.

Sky

"Shit!" she cursed again as she swerved in and out of traffic. What were the odds that the one place she would chose to hide she'd get caught in. And she'd left her groceries. Now what? She was contemplating that when a cloud of sulfur surrounded her. She coughed and swerved, barely missing a stopped SUV in front of her.

Two arms wrapped around her and she screamed, again nearly losing the bike. Before she could so much as straighten the bike out she was surrounded by sulfur again. When the sulfur disappeared she was standing on the sidewalk and her bike was wobbling toward a wall. It fell over and slid along the ground, screeching the whole way. Sky spun and shoved the man that had grabbed her.

"You jerk!" she screamed. "Do you know how hard its gona be to repair that bike?" She was about to hit him when, for the first time, she noticed his appearance. Yellow eyes watched her from a furry blue face. A three fingered hand was held up in defense and a blue pointed tail swished behind him.

"I am sorry," he said in a highly German accent. "I didn't mean to ruin your bike. It can be fixed." She glared at him.

"What the hell are you?" she demanded and for a moment he seemed lost. Then he looked down and muttered, "Oh, my image inducer."

He pressed a button on his yellow belt and in the next second a man with blue hair was standing in front of her. Wide-eyed she backed up. "What are you?" she whispered again.

"A mutant. Like you."

Alright ya'll tell me what ya think. Review! Flames Welcome. Oh, and her powers are simple. She has two different types of powers. The first one is the one she's using all the time. She can teleport (like Kurt) but only to places she's already been and can see in her head. She can't like teleport to China if she's never been there. She has to be able to picture a place she's been in her head to go there. The other power you will see later. Review!
