Chapter 7: Destiny's First Diary

I know im taking a lot of liberties when it comes to the facts and ive kind of blown off the movie all together, but i like it better this way and i hope you guys do to. im going to be using the destiny's diarys thing and it's going to be spread out through the entire fanfiction. i would love more comment i like to know what you guys are thinking.

Disclaimer: if i owned the X-Men you would be paying to read this, then again maybe you are, so maybe i do...jk....like i said i wont do this every chapter

"Hello Rogue." Julian greeted her at the door.

Henri, Theo, and Remy had walked her over, but left her at the gate of the assassin's mansion. "Hey Julian, how's it going?"

He smiled. "Good, and sorry the news leaked out about you being back in town so all the assassins are here to greet you."

Rogue smiled back at him, "You know that I don't mind. I've missed everyone it'll be nice to see them again. Though I thought that was what the party tomorrow was for."

Julian chuckled. "So did Dad, so that's why he kicked them all out until tomorrow, for the party."

Rogue smiled at him. Sometimes it was easy to forget that he was Marcus's son. That was why she had put up with Belladonna when they were younger. She figured that Marcus had given Bella the idea to follow her because she was the best. Though after she got her promotion Bella followed her less and less because she was doing more and more jobs, and living with the thieves part time.

"Yeah, well I remember how persuasive he can be, especially when it comes to members of the guild. He was never one to take no for an answer."

"Well I guess some things never change. No matter how much we want them to. Anyway, dad said you wanted to talk to Irene, so he told me to tell you that she's upstairs in the kitchen." Julian said leading Rogue inside.

"We're getting ready for the party, so I'm going to stay down here and help out. Do you remember your way?

She nodded and left him at the bottom of the stairs as she headed up to go find Destiny. She's a mutant whose gift is very inexact. She only sees shadows of the future, but what she sees is pretty much set in stone.

She knew this because Destiny had a vision before she left.

Flashback

"Hey Destiny." Rogue said when she saw her in the hall of the mansion.

She was at the mansion to get her new mission, because she had just finished her job for the thieves "Hello Rogue. Please come in my room for a minute. I'd like to tell you something."

Rogue looked at her for a minute but followed. Destiny barely talked but when she did her intelligence was unmatched by anyone. If Marcus was ever stuck and couldn't make a decision he went to Destiny for advice, and if Destiny ever came to him and told him to do something, or not to do something, he always did as she asked. She has never been wrong. "What is it?" Rogue asked cautiously.

"I've been watching two of you. The you in front of me and the you of the future that I see. Most unusual your future is and very intriguing.

"Never have I given advice to anyone other than the master but you will be my exception, a project of sorts, but of course I need to get to the point.

"You will meet a woman in disguise. Trust her not but follow her for she will lead you to people you will need. Do nothing you will regret and remember she has no power over you. A man with a mind of steel and the man bones of steel shall help and guide you. Befriend them but do not give up past secrets until it is too late to keep them.

"If you trust me listen to what I have to say but ask no reasons from me. I have told you more than I would have told most, but you need to know who you can and can't trust and what you shouldn't tell people." Destiny stared at Rogue. "If you understand what I've told you then leave, you have business to attend to."

Rogue stayed sitting for a minute and then silently got up and headed to the door. She paused and turned around to look at Destiny. "Thank you for your advice and knowledge. I will remember everything that you've told me Destiny."

She smiled, "Only call me Destiny when I'm looking at your destiny. Call me Irene any other time."

Rogue nodded and left memorizing every word that she had spoken.

End Flashback

Now Rogue understood that the man with the metal mind is Xavier and the man with the metal bones was Wolverine. Destiny's prophecy was what kept her on guard around Mystique and kept her from trusting the blue woman, and it was the reason that she had trusted the X-Men. Though she'd love to say the prophecy was the only reason she hadn't told them her past even without the prophecy she probably wouldn't have told them.

She headed to the kitchen wondering if Destiny would tell her anything or if she would decide that she didn't need to know anything else about her future, but either way Rogue knew that she had to thank her for the advice. If it wasn't for that she didn't know how much she would have trusted Mystique and she knew that she would have eventually betrayed her, so then she would have never trusted the X-Men and she would have needed to, because if she would have never gone to them her headaches and the personalities threatening to overtake her own would have succeeded and she would have been destroyed.

She had been wondering all these years thought what future Destiny had seen. Had she seen Rogue with the X-Men as she was, or had she seen what would have happen and just understood how to fix it? If Destiny had seen a bad future for her why would she bother to try to fix it unless somehow Rogue was more important than she ever thought she was? These thoughts chased themselves around in her head, trying to understand why everything had happened the way it had. Rogue just wanted to know if it was meant to be this way or if things had been changed. She had went to bed every night since she left wondering what would have happened if she had stayed. Would Destiny have seen her future? Would she have ever met Logan? Would she have fallen in love? Would her heart be broken? Would anyone have come near her?

Not matter how much she thought about it she never seemed to understand anymore than she had on that first day after she left. Rogue had always missed home but even here she had never felt that she had truly belonged. Everyone was different from her, whether she was better or worse than them it had never mattered, but she was different. She didn't fit in with Mystique and the brotherhood or Magneto either, she didn't belong. Even with Xavier and Logan at the Mansion with X-Men she didn't really feel at home. Everyone there was so different than her and didn't understand why she was the way she was, though with the X-Men she felt more at home than anywhere else she had ever been.

She stopped outside Destiny's, Irene's, kitchen. They had built this kitchen just for her, because she enjoyed cooking, and hated to be bothered. Rogue approached the door quietly and then lightly tapped on it. After a few seconds it swung open.

Irene was standing there smiling and Rogue figured that Destiny knew she was coming. Most the time you just forget that Irene Adler is blind. He eyes are white but she seems to know enough to put her ahead of everyone else. She just knows and senses.

"They have been good to you. I tempted fate by telling you what I did, but I felt we'd have bigger problems without greater warrning. Do you know who Mystique really is?" Irene said after a few moments.

Rogue had always appreciated the fact that she went straight to the facts and ignored the bushes all together. "I have you to thank for the friends that I've made, but what do you mean? Who Mystique really is?" Rogue asked knowing she probably didn't want to know.

"How well do you know about your past?" Irene asked.

Rogue looked confused and Destiny had been proven right. Rogue didn't know. Irene pulled a diary out of the cupboard. Rogue looked at the cover for a minute and then read, "'Destiny's Diary, One of Twelve to the Apocolypse.'" Rouge stopped then asked, "What does that mean?"

"Read it and you will understand. You are the key and I have seen your future since before you were born. This is information that you just might want, but you won't like. Understand that everything in here has already come to pass, but it will give you insight. You will see into people. If you chose to read it you must read it all, but know it isn't something you want to take lightly. You might just hate what you find out."

Irene's lip quivered. Rogue didn't know, it could have been a million things at that moment but something held her there, looking into Desiny's eyes. Rouge's mouth fell open for the first time understanding. Rogue knew that Destiny, because she had truly only been Destiny to Rogue, had always known she would be a mutant, and therefore she could have had an idea to what her powers had been. She was sure she had it right, but she had to ask, "You knew why I would leave from the beining?"

It wasn't really a question, but she tried to make it into one. Destiny nodded. "You are very observant and though I am glad because it will come in handy it makes lieing to you almost impossible."

Rogue nodded and a smile threatened her lips. She had always prided herself on being observant. "I'll read the diary." Rogue answered. She'd been through pain, she knew what it felt like and she not knowing would more likely kill her rather than knowing. Ignorance is never as bliss as it seems.
