Everyone sat quietly on the table including the LeBeau's. It was hard to believe that everyone could fit on the dining table but it was only the older students. As usual the professor sat at the head of the table whilst Logan and Ororo sat on his right and left side. Along Ororo's side sat Jean, Scott, Henry Remy's brother, Jean Luc, Remy's father and Remy himself. On Logan's side it was Kitty, Kurt, Marius, Julian and Bella. I looked at them all and stood next t Ebony and Naomi who were walking besides Raven who had a deep scowl on her face. I watched a little to figure out that Naomi had been trying to annoy her on purpose because Mystique called her a few inappropriate things. I sighed as I walked in between Sharon and Amanda who had been talking silently about who they thought was stronger out of Remy and Scott. I smirked at the thought and sat opposite Remy who was talking silently with his brother and it seemed to be really important because he was more than angry and he was trying to control his temper. I looked at the side of me to see Naomi, Ebony, Sharon and Amanda had already taken their seat and Magneto sat at the other end of the table facing opposite Professor Xavier. I sat there quietly watching everyone interact with each other when Bella said taking a sip of her wine
"When will we discuss the plans of breaking into Hellfire?" I didn't look at her but I could tell everyone was watching me. I continued eating and didn't bother to reply until Jean Luc asked the same question. I stopped eating and sat back in my chair and said smoothly
"We are waiting for the rest of this team to arrive!" Everyone did a double take on this including the girls. I continued eating when Ebony said
"You kept in contact with them?" I nodded absently and continued eating; it seemed to annoy Naomi the most
"When are they arriving?" I smiled a little and said
"In about twenty minutes!" they all sat there with wide eyes and ran out the room without another word. I laughed a little and looked around the room to see everyone was watching me; I smirked a little and said
"There name are Malachi, Jonathan, Kevin and Timothy!" They all began to talk at once so the professor calmed them and said softly
"Could you tell us a little more information on them Rogue?" Everyone looked at him in confusion and I laughed and said
"Well to get all this bull outta tha way. I'm Rogue X man Rogue, my real name is Anne Marie D'Anconta Darkholm!" Everyone who hadn't known sat still. I smirked and changed back into my normal self. My hair pooled down to the middle of my back LETTING MY Auburn lock bounce free and my distinctive white hair pooled along my face. I looked at everyone with slightly new eyes. Scott and Jean looked like they didn't believe the new at all so I said
"If ya'll liake me ta prove that ah'm tha real deal, all ah would have ta do is touch ya!" Scott looked at me with slight anger visible and Jean looked at me with envy. I smirked a little and looked at Kurt who looked more than hurt. I sighed and said
"The reason ah didn't tell ya suga was cause I didn't know how ya would react, ah'm sorrah for naught trustin ya!" he looked at me slightly calmer than before and gave me a big smile and said
"You have contzol now!" I nodded and he laughed and out of the blue 'bamped' over to me and gave me the biggest bear hug he could muster. I laughed a little and said stroking his fur
"Wow, it's so soft!" he laughed and said happily
"Everyzone lovez de fuzzy dude!" I giggled a little and jumped a little when I felt four strong mutants at the institute door. I smirked and used telepathy to open the door and waited a while to see Malachi standing there with a big grin on his chocolate skinned face. His white teeth were shining brightly and he was carrying a duffle bag on his shoulder. He had her hair cut nicely with nice designs along the front of his hair and earring in his left ear. He wore a black tracksuit that was a Nike make and black trainers to go along with it. He looked around the room a little taking in everyone's appearance and looked at me and said smirking
"So you're just going to stand there and watch us. Fine it's okay. I never liked you that much anyway!" I laughed and let go of Kurt and hugged him tightly. He smiled and said throwing me into the air
"Finally!" I laughed and said looking up at him which was annoying. He was at least 6, 4 and had a strong masculine build. I laughed and let go of him and looked at his face and said looking at his brown eyes and smirking a little
"Ebony is going to kill you!" he grimaced and said shaking his head. I laughed and looked behind me to see Jonathan sitting in my seat eating my food without a care in the world; and Timothy was eating Naomi's food too, he just didn't know it. I looked over at Timothy that had a lighter complexion of Malachi and was around the same height only inches shorter and was just wearing blue denim jeans with a black T-shirt. He looked up at me and smirked a little and said winking his dark brown eyes
"Marie you're staring to fill out nicely!" I looked at him in shock and was about to slap him when Jonathan said with food still in his mouth
"Hey Babe!" I laughed and squeezed him around the neck saying
"I missed you guys!" He laughed showing off his cute smile and blue eyes and black hair, which was an odd combination. He was quite slim but all the training done gave him a little more muscle making his sex appeal grow, he was about the same height as Timothy but not the same build and it was the same for Kevin except he had brown hair and green eyes which suited him fine. He was the shortest out of the boys but it didn't bother him he had one of the most charming smiles out of the group and he always had a trouble making aura around him. He liked to stir trouble so he could make a comedy out of it for his own personal entertainment. I looked at all of them and said smirking
"Tha girls went upstairs ta dress up for you guys!" they laughed a little and then went quiet when they noticed everyone giving us strange stares. They all did the same thing; giggled like little children and said sheepishly rubbing the backs of their heads
"Hey!" They group grave a few smiles and Kitty and Kurt were the first to welcome them openly. Kevin was the first to talk
"Sorry about that we haven't seen them for three months!" The professor nodded and Mystique looked at the men cautiously and said
"Not to be rude, but can you introduce yourself!" Malachi looked at her with a cold gaze and looked back at me saying
"She's your mother right!" I nodded and he said sitting in one of the available seats
"My name is Malachi, code name, Rampage; powers are super strength, speed, flight, telepathy and heightened senses!" Everyone looked at him in awe or curiosity
"My name is Timothy, aka Furry, my powers are speed, fire manipulation and I can produce fire and I can create Illusions!" It seemed that everyone grasped just how power the team really was
"Name is Jonathan, aka Poison, I can sense mutant levels and oncoming mutations and I can boost a mutant's mutation, I can also disable mutant abilities and if I touch you I can paralyse you for any time I wish!" The faces now showed utter realisation at what Hellfire was trying to create
"My names Kevin, aka Chaos, I have super speed, and flight, I also have the ability to use four of natures elements, air, water, fire and rock!" I watched as everyone processed the news and watched as Ebony was the first one down the stairs and have her incredible hearing heard what was going on and ignored everyone else and ran straight for Malachi who had not even noticed her run in and tackled him to the floor. I laughed in humour as I watched Ebony make sure he had been okay and she had tears in her eyes. Malachi's eyes softened and leaned up and wiped the tears off her face and said smiling a little
"No crying okay!" she nodded trying to hold back her tears, he smiled and hugged her close not wanting to let her go and she sobbed into his chest whispering
"Don't ever leave me okay!" He nodded and said watching her whispered determinedly
"Never!" He hovered off the ground still holding her and they both stood correctly on the floor before Sharon rushed in and looked at Kevin who didn't even notice her. she walked around everyone and stood behind him and raise her fist and aimed for his head and was about to hit him when he turned round and his eyes widened dramatically and he quickly dodged and then looked at Sharon with a big smile and jumped up hugging her with all his might and said happily
"Oh thank god you're alright!" she laughed happily and held on to him tightly. I smiled and watched as Amanda came into the room and looked at Jonathan who looked straight back at her with a huge smile and she smiled back and said softly
"So where's my ring?" he laughed and walked over to her smoothly and took out a small box in his pocket and held it out to her. She looked like she was going to faint and it made everyone in the room laugh. I smiled at her and she slowly opened the box with tear falling from her eyes and she was shaking so much it was hard not to cry with her. I smiled at them and jumped in shock at Naomi who had put Timothy in a head lock and screeched
"You bastard, you didn't even try to call me or email me, you stupid prick!" Timothy was sitting there chocking trying to get out of her grip and Sharon yelled slightly panicking
"You're going to kill him!" Naomi shook her head and said
"No I'm not he ain't even the real Timothy, the real one is standing in a corner watching my arse!" Sharon rolled her eyes and Amanda groaned and Malachi and Ebony had yet to talk but they looked a little amused. Timothy came up behind her and held her close and said smirking a little
"Stop worrying, I'm fine, alright!" Naomi sighed and turned round in his grip and began poking at his body. He rolled his eyes and said
"I am not hurt!" she ignored him completely and continued prodding when she poked him in the arm he jumped back. Her eyes turned yellow and he flinched a little when her nails lengthened
"What happened to your arm?" he didn't say a word. She walked over to him and lifted his t-shirt to see a large tattoo on his arm. Her eyes turned back to their original colour and she said
"You said you let me be there when I got it done!" he laughed a little and said
"Don't worry, I'm getting another done soon!" she nodded and said softly
"Are you sure you're alright?" he nodded and looked down at her slightly worried and said
"Why are you so concerned?" she looked away and said quietly
"I was scared that I'd loose you like that other time!" he sighed and kissed the top of her head and said smiling making everyone else smiled with him
"Not going anyway for sometime!" she smiled up at him and said
"Good!" I watched their reunion for a while and Malachi nodded at me and said regaining his composure and standing straighter
"Sorry to drop by so unannounced but is there is place for us to stay in your institute?" he said looking straight at the Professor who smiled welcomingly and said
"Of course we have two spare rooms!" Malachi nodded in thanks and looked at Ebony for a second and said with a little anger
"Why have you got a tattoo on your back?" All of us stilled and the boys watched us curiously. Ebony back away in the corner with Naomi who looked ready to run until Sharon said
"It an insignia to represent the Crimson Daggers!" Timothy groaned in agitation and said
"I was up post to design it!" Naomi laughed and said
"Don't worry, I did it trust me you'll like it!" She turned round and lifted her top a little to show him. He touched it a little making Naomi jump at the touch of his cold hands
"Sorry!" he shrugged a little and said nervously
"So what do you think?" He nodded approvingly and said
"I guess we have to get ours done soon!" All the girls nodded and the Malachi looked at the thieves and assassins and said
"You want to break into Hellfire and free your people!" Marius nodded a little and looked at Malachi and said boldly
"So are you their leader?" Malachi nodded and that's were everyone went straight into role. All the females that were currently sitting down stood up and allowed the men of the group to sit and each woman stood behind each man except me. I stood far back in the corner shifting into the shadows. Jean Luc looked at this with wary eyes and said
"It seems we underestimated your organisation!" Malachi shrugged and said coldly
"It will be wise if you choose not to again!" Julian glared and Remy looked at the scene sceptically and Malachi watched him awhile and made a telepathic link
'Is the man before me Remy?' I groaned and replied
'Yes' I could feel Malachi smirking and said in a cool kind of mischievous tone of voice
"It has come to my attention that one of you kidnapped one of my team!" there was a couple of chuckles around the table and Remy slowly owned up with a sheepish look on his face. I laughed a little and Malachi slightly smiled and said
"You're a mutant right?" Remy nodded as if trying to see what Malachi was trying to prove and so did everyone else. He looked at Jonathan who soon got the message and began figuring out Remy's mutation. I watched him curiously and saw his brows furrow and look at Remy with curiosity and somewhat awe and said
"He is a level three but he meant to be a level five, he somehow blocked his mutation and now he will not mutate unless the device in his head is removed!" I looked at them in shock and started to think about the information that was given to me. In Hellfire I remembered them talking about him joining them because of some sort of power he had. I also remember them distinctively connecting him to a man named sinister. I gasped and Kevin was the first one to notice my demeanour. I was shaking in fear. God no. this can't be happening. I looked at Kevin and collapsed to the floor quietly shaking and holding my head in agony. Too many memories were rushing in of Remy's past. I could tell someone was kneeling next to me and shouting and so much arguing. It was hurting so much. I noise, too much. Every single psyche in my head was in rage, agony and fury. I screamed in pain and threw my head into the wall trying to focus on something when I felt my head being held protectively by someone. I stilled a little and heard a few voices. I pushed through the entire psyche finding my way back to the top. I was finally able to push my colder self back. Part of me was broken by hellfire, the Marie of my life was broken, but Rogue wasn't I struggled to find balance and such. I focused on the voices again and I began to hear who were really calling out to me. It was Ebony, Naomi, Sharon and Amanda. I held onto their voice and mumbled
"Get back!" I could feel their confusion and it was starting to bug me so I said firmer
"Move back!" I felt them shift quickly and then the room grew silent. I steadied my body and began to get to my knees. I took even breathes and Naomi said slightly worried
"Marie you should rel-!" before she even got to finish I smirked and said firmly
"It's naught Marie suga!" gasps were heard and Scott said
"I think the psyche have taken over, professor you have to do something!" I shook my head at his stupidity and slightly stood with my back against the wall trying to calm my heart and steady my emotions. Scenes of Remy's past kept flashing into my mind and it was causing me to loose control.
"Ah am naught bein taken ova hon!" I pushed my hair out my face and slightly opened my eyes adjusting to the light but not looking at anyone in particular. I shook off my pain and stood straighter and crossed my arms over my chest and smirked looking at my group with admiration. They looked back at me with happiness and Naomi was the first one to screech
"Yes you did it!" I laughed a little pushed some hair out my face and looked at Malachi and who was reading the top of my mind with his telepathy. He noticed my piercing gaze and laughed sheepishly saying
"Jus makin sure!" I shook my head with annoyance and looked at the girls who were smiling brightly. Ebony looked at me smirking and said slightly amused
"You do know that because you're back to your normal self your body changed as well!" I looked at her blankly for a few seconds and ran out the room and stood in front of the mirror and looked in amazement as my breast grew from a c to a d and my hair was more bouncy than ever. My hips were slightly bigger giving my body an hour glass shape and I was a little taller. I looked at my breast with a little more amazement and tugged on my bra with irritation as it would fit properly. I finally gave up with a huff and walked back to the rest of the group who looked at me with amazement. I took everyone's into gaze. Bella, I had to admit was very beautiful. She had an angelic face with would seem innocent and bright blue eyes and a slim and slender figure. I looked at Julian and I remembered him when I was in Mardi gras with Remy. Now that he didn't have such an animalistic look on his face he looked a little more handsome; not like Remy but he was nicely built with noticeable muscles and strong features. I looked at the rest of my team and said smoothly trying to avoid Remy gaze
"Ah'm fine now!" Timothy didn't look too sure and said with hard and calculating eyes
"Who do you hate the most?" I laughed and said looking him straight in the face
"Selene, Black Queen, bitch of Hellfire!" He smiled and said a bit more thoughtful
"Worst thing you did to Selene?" I laughed in humour and replayed the memory
Flashback
I sat in the corner half naked with Malachi, Timothy, Kevin, Jonathan, Ebony, Amanda, Sharon, Naomi, Carol, and Joshua. We were trying to preserve body heat because they left us in a place that was colder than New York in winter. We were all shivering and talking a little to try and get our selves to avoid the cold when Selene stood in front of the bars and said
"It's chilly in here isn't it!" We ignore her and carried on talking and it seemed to annoy her more. Malachi was making sure she didn't get any closer to us and Timothy and Naomi were not really paying attention because it seemed that Timothy said something that made Naomi blush. I laughed at them and everyone looked at me like I was weird. I looked at Selene smirking and she looked at me warily so I said
"You know if we jus have sexual intercourse we could keep warm. Everyone froze at the thought and began looking at each other. I looked at Timothy and Naomi and smirked. Timothy-3 laughed and said
"Yea but you have no partner Rogue!" I sighed and said putting my frozen finger to my lip. I could barely feel anything
"Well I guess I could masturbate!" Joshua almost chocked and so did Carol. Naomi laughed and so did Amada and Ebony looked gob smacked I laughed a little and so did those who found it funny and Selene looked neutral. I could tell she was confused after all the time she had tortured me I learnt a little about her. I smirked a little and said teasing her little
"Selene ya think ya can help me out suga!" that when everything turned quiet. I laughed a little and said slightly embarrassed
"What do you expect me to do?" she looked at me questionably and with a little smirk like she had finally won. I smiled arrogantly and said
"Could ya pull out ya dick and maybe I could play with it?" she looked at me wide eyed with shock and slight embarrassment and then rage and began punching me hard in the stomach with all her might. I coughed up blood when she was done and said smirking
"Never thought ya could get so angry maybe I could toy with ya as well!" she looked at me with fury and walked out the room and turned to face me with a cold smirk
"Don't worry Rogue, I'll break you soon and when I do, you'll regret making a fool of me!"
End of flash back
I laughed at the memory and so did the rest of the Crimson Daggers. Malachi then said
"Fine you're the real Rogue!" I nodded and said crossing my arms over my chest with a thoughtful expression
"For this mission all of us have to get in. If I can remember correctly Hellfire change guards every hour!" Malachi shook his head and said
"Yea but they may know we know this, they would have changed their entire organisation!" I nodded agreeing with him when Remy said thoughtfully
"If Remy had de layout of d'place, Remy could find out and disarm d'security system!" I stood there rigid not saying a word and everyone seemed to sense my uneasiness. I looked straight at him looking into his hypnotising red on black eyes. It seemed like he could see straight through me and I knew he was feeling every single emotion that was radiating off me. I looked back at Malachi and said firmly, no wavering, no second thoughts and no opening for a retaliation
"He will not go I will!" that when an up roar occurred. I looked at the calmly and Remy said cockily
"No offence cherie but Remy have more experience at dis than you!" I laughed and said smirking
"Ya may be experienced in otha thangs suga but this is one that we're on an equal playin field swamp rat!" he smirked at me and said leaning forward shooting a charming smile
"Cheire I didn't know y'had a pet name for Remy, wouldn't b'fair if remy didn't give y'one, hmmmmm River rat sounds perfect!" I glared at him a little when Mystique coughed loudly, I looked at her expectantly and she said with a calm expression
"Why you and not him Rogue?" I looked at her blankly and she looked back at me as if to challenge me. I didn't want them to know why. I turned away from her and Malachi said looking straight at me
"The Gambit will break in!" I don't know what happened but Malachi flew off his chair and hit the wall leaving a dent in it. He looked at me sharply and said with outrage
"Rogue what the hell is wrong with you?" I looked at him angrily and felt the enormous amount of power surround me like a cocoon. Timothy stood up and was about to say something when Naomi held him down and said looking at me softly
"Rogue why don't you want him to go?" I shook my head ay her and said clenching my fit and shaking in fear
"They will kill him!" Everyone looked at me in shock and Malachi watched me closely and said pacing up and down in an angry pace
"We will continue this talk tomorrow morning!" Bella then spoke; Naomi was the first to give her a frightening glare that had no effect on her as she spoke
"I don believe you'b as powaful as you claim!" Malachi stopped walking and said coldly
"Amazon, give her a little taste of what we can do!" Ebony's smirk turned dark and she leapt into the air with a summersault and landed gracefully without a sound crouched onto the table in front of Bella who looked slightly shocked and slightly impressed. She realised that not everything was as it seemed and all of knew that she was in for a rude awakening if she thought that we were all talk and no action especially if she was going against Ebony
