At the Institute
Remy is pacing back and forth in the foyer, yelling in French. While Logan and Kurt are sitting on the steps watching him and thinking.
"Where could she have gone?" Kurt asked.
"Who knows, maybe she remembered something and went there…" Logan replied.
"Hey Gumbo!" Logan yelled over Remy, causing Remy to stop and look at him. "In English, you yelling in French don't help us at all.
"Sorry… Remy is just freaking out a bit… Ya know, Remy don't understand why she would get and leave like dat."
"Hello boys, why the long faces?"
"Storm" Logan jumped to his feet. "When was the last time you saw Rogue?"
Storm looked confused. "Rogue? Well I know she was in the Danger Room control room with me for a minute, when Gambit and Kurt were in session."
"The Danger Room? That explains it!" Kurt yelled, smacking his palm to his forehead. "C'mon we got to go!"
"Wait!" Storm yelled over the guys. "What is going on here!?"
Remy sighed. "Can we tell her?" Logan nodded grimly.
"Tell me what?" Strom asked, now even more confused.
"We'll tell you on the way, right now we gotta find Rogue." Logan said, grabbing storm's arm and running.
In the City
"Wait, so you're saying that Rogue has lost ALL her memories?"
"Pretty much, and I think because she saw Gambit and I in the Danger Room, she freaked and ran." Kurt told Storm
"Well, that would explain why she's been acting oddly. Who all knows about Rogue?"
"Just de four of us, oh and Beast…" Remy said.
"Well we have to let the others know! They could help with the search, and perhaps Jean could try getting some of her memories back."
"Look, right now the kid is scarred. I doubt she'd want a bunch of mutants, that she doesn't know chasing after her." Logan said.
"You know this seems very familiar…" Kurt said, staring out the window.
"What do ya mean?" Remy asked.
"It's just like the first time we were looking for Rogue, before she joined the team…" Kurt said.
There was a grim silence, then Logan slammed on the brakes. "The Brotherhood!" they all said in unison. Before Logan raced off towards the Brotherhood House, causing everyone to hold on for dear life.
After about 15 minutes of Logan's reckless driving, they were outside the Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House. They rushed up to the door, and Logan started pounding on the door. It took a minute but finally, Toad answered.
He was rubbing his eye and holding the door. "What do you want?" He asked, then looked up at Wolverine. Toad screamed and slammed the door. Causing the rest of the Brotherhood and Rogue to wake up with a jump.
"TOAD! What's your problem?!" Pietro yelled.
Toad didn't say anything, he just shakily pointed at the door. Pietro walked tiredly to the door, and opened it.
"Hey bub." Logan said. Pietro slammed the door in Logan's face again.
"Guys… Don't freak out, but we're gonna die." Pietro said somewhat calmly.
"What are you talking about? Who's at the door?" Wanda asked, sounding annoyed.
"It's Wolverine…"
Rogue's eyes widened. "They're here? Oh no… They're probably looking for me…"
"Ya, they're looking for you. So why don't you go with them? Them maybe they'll leave us alone…" Toad said, hiding behind Blob.
"Wow, way to show an act of courage guys." Wanda said rolling her eyes.
Lance got up and opened the door. He stood there looking at Wolverine.
"Are you gonna slam the door on me too, bub?" Wolverine growled.
"Sure… If you want me to." Lance smirked.
Wolverine growled again. Remy then stepped between the two. "Look all we want is de femme back."
Lance looked back at Rogue, who was now standing with Wanda behind Lance. "Are you 'de femme'?" Lance asked, in the worst French accent ever.
"Uh… sure…" Rogue said hesitantly "Look, let me talk to them for a minute. Ah'll sort all this out." Rogue said, side-stepping Lance and closing the door.
They all stood there outside the Brotherhood House, staring at each other.
"Well?" Rogue asked, after an awkward moment of silence.
