Okay, I know it's been a while but I've had flu and been REALLLY busy. Here's next chapter, hope you enjoy.

"In here, quick!" Rogue yelled pulling Bobby roughly into the building he was originally trying to get into. They had run round the back of the building and managed to find a back entrance that was well hidden from view.

"How did you know about this?" Bobby asked, trying to get his breath back as he leaned against a wall.

Rogue scanned the room they were in; it appeared to be a back storage room as it was filled with all kinds of different boxes. She shrugged. "The Professor told me Magneto always had a back entrance cos alotta the lackey's he hired were so dumb 'n' would always forget any passwords."

Bobby allowed himself a small smile. "Brainy."

"Aren't ah just," she replied smiling broadly as her expression softened. She then walked up towards him and took his hand in hers again. "Ah'm sorry Bobby," she said softly, gazing lovingly into his blue eyes. "Ah've been really stupid."

Bobby took her hand away and waved her off. "Rogue please don't…" He trailed off before he saw the look in Rogue's eyes. He walked back towards her and stroked her hair. "I'm the one who should apologize," he said firmly.

Rogue took a step back and leaned her back against the opposite wall away from him. "All the stuff with Kitty, with the cure, my parents…" she mused, her eyes falling to stare at her shoes.

Bobby's eyes shot up but Rogue's stayed on her shoes. "What about your parents?"

Rogue swallowed back the tears, she was sick of crying. "They hate me Bobby. Ah thought when they saw ah had been cured that they'd take me back but…" She looked up but averted her eyes away from Bobby. "They still blame me for what happened to mah ex," she said, a hint of bitterness evident in her tone.

"You're ex boyfriend. The one you put in a coma?" Bobby asked for clarification.

Rogue nodded sadly. "That'd be the one. Since he woke up from the coma he ain't been doin' too well 'n' his parents blame mine since ah ain't around to take the abuse," she said, her voice rising slightly. She tucked a white stray strand of hair behind her ear and tried to stay calm. "So naturally when ah went to visit em' to tell em' the good news they wanted to put all the blame of ah dunno how many years on me," she said sarcastically.

Bobby looked at her sympathetically. "Rogue if I'd have known I wouldn't have…"

"Stop blaming yaself Bobby, it ain't your fault," she said gently, resting more casually against the wall now and looking directly at him.

Bobby's eyes flashed anger. "It isn't my fault I got drunk? It isn't my fault I attacked some random guy cos I thought he was hitting on you?" he said harshly before he dropped his voice to an almost whisper. "It isn't my fault I called you a traitor?"

Rogue scoffed. "Ah've been called it enough now," she shrugged and rolled her eyes. "Ah'm used to it. Forget about it Bobby."

Bobby was just about to reply but he heard a noise from outside the room, it sounded like voices. Bobby looked towards Rogue and saw she had heard it too. "Magneto?" Bobby asked a little too loudly.

Rogue looked at him annoyed, silencing him with her gaze.

They both waited for the voices to disappear before anyone spoke again.

"We gotta move," Rogue said bluntly, moving to grab hold of Bobby again.

Bobby held his hands up and took a step back. "Hold up. Move where exactly?" He inquired, Rogue was acting…Strangely.

Rogue put her hands on her hips and let out a long bored sigh. "Get outta this room 'n' find a way to escape."

"Okay okay I get that but what about Jimmy?" He asked before his expression turned grave and he couldn't meet Rogue's eyes again. "And Jean…"

Rogue's head snapped up a little too quickly. "You saw them?" She demanded. "Where?"

Bobby looked visibly uncomfortable. "Yeah, just before you found me. They were in a room; it was really dark so I didn't see much. We've gotta get them back, away from Magneto."

Rogue turned her head away from Bobby before turning it back around to look at him. Her expression had changed completely, she looked… Sad. "We can't help them Bobby."

Bobby's eyes widened at her statement. "What? We've got to help them. I mean I dunno how Jean's still alive but the point is, she's alive and we've gotta get her as far away from Magneto as possible. Who knows what he's planning to do with her. Her and Jimmy seemed to be attached to something…And each other."

"Attached to something?" Rogue asked sceptically, raising an eyebrow. "Bobby listen to me. Jean's still working for Magneto, so is Jimmy."

Bobby looked at her confused. "Jean was never working for Magneto, not really."

"She's a murderer," Rogue said harshly. She lowered her head and said, "She's not the Jean we knew Bobby."

Bobby shook his head. "It wasn't her fault, it was the Phoenix. How can you be so cold? She's our friend," Bobby insisted.

Rogue shook her head and rubbed a hand over her face. "Yeah…Sorry, ah know. Ah'm not thinkin' right."

Bobby sighed. "What about Jimmy?"

Rogue walked over to a box and sat down. "Jimmy's a mole. Ah heard him talkin' to Magneto earlier, laughing with him."

"Guess he's all better then," Bobby mumbled sarcastically.

Rogue nodded. "Yeah, ah found out he was sent by Magneto to spy on us 'n' send any info about us back to Magneto," she looked Bobby directly in the eyes. "Ah don't think gettin' knocked out 'n' almost dying was part of the plan though," she said lightly, stifling a giggle.

Bobby grinned. "Go team then I guess," he shrugged. "What about the vision thing?"

Rogue looked away moment ally and smiled to herself as her eyes glinted yellow. "All lies ah suppose," she said flicking back her hair and looking back at him.

Humans…

Visions…

X-Men…

Bomb…

Dead…

Pain…

Suffering…

Despair…

Depression…

Children…

Magneto…

Jimmy screamed as pain shot through his skull and he struggled to be free from the chair he had been tied up to. After the pain subsided he looked into the dead eyes of Doctor Jean Gray. "Don't do this," he said frantically, breathing heavily. Sweat poured from every pore yet he was still cold and shivering violently.

She didn't even blink.

Rogue and Bobby ran down the long winding corridors of Magneto's hideout, they had to be very careful because camera's seemed to be everywhere. They were currently trying to get to the room where Bobby had seen Jean and Jimmy.

Suddenly Bobby grabbed Rogue and pulled her into a small corner out of view as he heard footsteps' indicating someone was approaching. They were very loud. "Guards," Bobby whispered.

"10 bucks says it's Juggernaut," Rogue said with a sly grin, nudging him with her elbow as she turned away from him and looked round the corner.

"Rogue," he whispered urgently. She didn't turn her head back round to him, just waved him away with her hand and continued to look for the owner of the rather loud footsteps.

She saw who she was looking for – Juggernaut. She turned her head back round to the nervous Bobby and winked. "Guards," she scoffed quietly, raising an eyebrow.

Bobby stared at her, not quite knowing what to say.

Her eyes shone mischievously and she patted him on the back. "Don't worry, ya can pay me later."

They both held their breath as Juggernaut passed by.

Bobby exhaled. "Let's just get this over with."

Rogue rolled her eyes dramatically. "Whatever. Ah think it's this way," she said moving away from Bobby.

Logan stood in the middle of a forest and groaned. "Great," he mumbled to himself as he stared in-front of him.

He had been able to get a lot of information and a few beers out of Blob before he beat him up and dumped him in a dumpster round the back of the seedy bar. He was now standing in-front of Magneto's hideout which was hidden deep in the forest.

The hideout itself was a relatively large complex. There were 5 warehouses surrounding a large greyish building and surrounding that were electrical fences and a huge gate which was obviously buzzing with electricity.

Logan groaned again before moving forward and kicking at the gate forcefully, he was thrown back by the electricity immediately. "Huh," he said casually glaring up at the gate from his place on the ground.

A bomb, he planted a bomb was the first thought that entered Storm's head as she heard the loud boom down the hallway. She sprung into action straight away, ordering Hank to get the students out as quickly as possible.

She ran through the long winding corridors of the Mansion. "Everyone out, out now!" she yelled as she saw the gas. This wasn't just any bomb, it was a chemical bomb.

Students were everywhere, running for the door, panicking. Storm ran into the kitchen and saw a teenage mutant hiding under a table, shaking. She reached out to him but he quickly turned himself invisible. Storm sighed. "Adrian please," she pleaded desperately.

"GO AWAY!" A young voice screamed. "GO AWAY GO AWAY!"

Adrian had been a troubled student ever since his arrival at the school. He had had an abusive childhood and found it very difficult to trust anyone.

"Adrian, you stay here and you're going to die," she stated bluntly.

"Leave me alone," Adrian mumbled and turned himself visible just before a huge blue figure slammed itself into him, knocking him out.

Storm gasped. "Was that really necessary?" she said angrily.

Hank looked at Storm, panic written all over his face. "We must leave, now!" he said, picking up Adrian and slinging him over his shoulder.

Suddenly people burst into the Mansion dressed in dark clothing, wearing gas masks and helmets. The man leading them saw Storm and navigated towards her, grabbing her by the arm and dragging her out. "We need to talk to you," he said monotone.

Outside the school, the students crowded looking terrified. They all watched as the men entered the school.

Hank was busy trying his best to calm the students but it was doing no good. He walked towards Storm who was currently arguing with the man who had dragged her out the school. "I need to be in there, the students," she snapped.

The man was approximately 48 and had brown greying hair. He was dressed much like all the other men but had a distinct air of authority around him. "We're handling the situation," the man said.

"Who are you people?" Storm shouted.

Hank touched Storm gently and she spun round. "They're the bomb squad," he said looking at the man distrustfully.

The man nodded at the two and walked away.

"Logan should be here," Storm sighed. Suddenly her eyes flicked upwards to lock with Hank's. "Where's Rogue?"

I know it's short, I apologize again. I am definitely going to try and do a much longer chapter next time!

Warren and Kitty will show up again!
