A/N: Long time no post. I've been working on some stories that I want to finish before publishing and enjoying my summer vacation. I'm sorry for the lapse in posting time but it's hard to write this story when it's coming to it's end. Yes, it's true. I only see at most, five maybe six more chapters for this story. But my other stories are coming along nicely and I can't wait to start posting. Hope you enjoy this chapter. ~CRYTN0

Chapter 10

It was quiet in the X-Mansion but as we all know, quiet in a house full of mutants doesn't last very long.

Kitty and Bobby were walking through the entrance hall of the mansion. Things had been rough for the days and Rogue was missing. The two were taking a break until they were called into action after Logan had formed some sort of plan.

"I'm really worried about Rogue. If Sinister is as tough as the professor like warned us he would, then it's like hard to image what she's going through."

"Calm down Kitty. I'm sure she's alright. Didn't you see how she took out the Brotherhood? She's probably on her way back right now."

"If she can take care of herself, then how did she get captured in the first place?"

"I uh… don't really know. Maybe she was distracted?"

"I just like don't want to talk about this right now Bobby."

"Ok… so uh Kitty, would you like to um… go out with me some time?"

Kitty, who was relieved that Bobby had finally asked her out, opened her mouth to answer when Logan and Remy crashed through the ceiling and unto the middle of the floor. While Bobby and Kitty fled from the debris, Logan managed to pin Remy to the floor.

"You want to repeat that again bub?"

"Relax homme, Remy don't understand what's wrong?"

"You and Rogue; that's what's wrong."

"Logan! What are you like doing?" Kitty screamed at the feral man that had his claws aimed for the Cajun's neck.

"Did you know Gumbo here is ENGAGED to Rogue?"

"That's so sweet! You two make like a great couple!"

"WHAT?" Logan's shock allowed for his hold on Remy to weaken, giving him the perfect chance to escape the Canadian's grasp.

"Remy sorry to interrupt but he needs to get ready."

"Ready for what?" Bobby asked closely watching the man that was attempting to leave the room.

"The Cajun's guild is coming to help us get Rogue back", Logan answered dryly.

"You have a guild? That's so cool", Bobby said and received a death look from Logan.

"When will they like get here?" Kitty asked trying to divert Logan's attention.

"Dey be here by de morning petite. Remy has a lot to do before dey get here though."

"Anything we can help with?" Bobby asked with a tone of excitement in his voice.

"Maybe… Remy has to check but y' could start by cleaning dis up. Now Remy must go."

Remy made his quick exit before Logan could stop him. The hall was in ruins from their quick fight. The three remaining looked at the mess before looking at one another for an answer. When no one spoke, Logan broke the silence.

"Well I'm going to get a beer. Clean this up you two."

He left the two looking after him with looks of disbelief.

"Well I guess we should get cleaning before he gets back", Bobby said while walking over to a closet to get a broom.

"Oh Bobby, by the way, my answer is yes", Kitty said when he handed her a broom.

The two started cleaning with content smiles on the faces.

_Unknown Location_

Rogue awoke with a sense of drowsiness. It took her several minutes to remember what had transpired and when she did her eyes snapped over. She tried to move her arms and legs only to find them restrained to the table she was on and when her attempts to use her powers failed, she knew she was in trouble.

"It's nice to she you're awake."

A man with blue tinted skin walked out from the darkness that covered the edges of the room. She remembered him as Sinister from their first fight with Angel. She tried to retort but it seemed as if her mouth was not working.

"Yes, the sedatives Angel gave you appear to have some side effects but for me that's nothing to complain about. And with your powers turned off it makes it so much easier."

Slowly Rogue regained to strength to speak and said the first thing that came to mind.

"Why am I here?"

"Ah so nice to here your voice again. Well it's quite simple why you're here. I need that fiancé of yours for one of my horsemen so that my lord Apocalypse can have his right place a ruler of the world and help mutant gain their supremacy."

"Why Remy? Why not use me?"

"Well then I'll still need one of friends to fulfill your place and that would be pointless."

"What place? Tell me what the hell is going on!"

"Sorry but something are best left as surprises. All will be revealed in time."

And with those final words he left he alone in the room that was soon cast into darkness.
