Because of you

I will not make the same mistakes that you did and
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Jean sat back in her seat on the Blackbird. They were heading back to the mansion in Westchester. Scott reassured the others they would find Logan and Rogue, but would they really? Arclight and Sabretooth had carried them through a portal to who knows where. They didn't even know if they were in the same time period.

Jean rested her forehead against the cool glass of the window. Rogue and Logan were two of her best friends and wouldn't be able to handle it if something were to happen to them.

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you...
I am afraid

Yuriko looked at the X-Men. They were all expressing their grief in different ways. Yuriko looked out the window. She didn't know this Logan guy, but it sounded like he was deeply respected. As for Rogue, she knew her, and missed her. Sure she'd only known her for a day, but in that day, they'd really bonded and now Rogue had been kidnapped.

She wasn't an X-Man and she didn't know the people in the plane, except for Jean, but she wanted to help them get Rogue back.

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Kitty rested her head on Piotr's chest. He had his arm draped around her shoulder's and was whispering soothing words to her to calm her down. She listened to them and was glad Peter was there with her.

One of her best friends had been kidnapped. Sure she knew Logan, and he was great guy, but she missed Rogue most. She knew Rogue better and they had a really awesome friendship, but now she was gone and didn't know if she'd see her again.

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you...
I am afraid

Scott silently flew the plane back to New York, Storm helping fly the plane beside him. He sighed as he thought back to what had happened an hour ago and how'd he explain it to the Professor.

It was moments like these, that made being a leader difficult. He'd miss the two X-Men until they could find them, if they ever found them. Sure Logan could be a real prick and acted like an ass, but he was an important part of the team and Scott had come to respect the stubborn man.

He knew he had to find them. Jean had been distraught when Arclight and Sabretooth walked through the portal with Logan and Rogue, so for her he would bring them home safely.

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing...

Storm looked at Scott, before looking back out the cockpit window. This was the second time they flew over Alkali Lake and were leaving someone behind. First Jean, now Logan and Rogue.

Rogue was one of her best students, and was a reliable X-Man and Logan was an amazing comrade and trusty worthy friend, and she would miss them both until they were found. She knew Logan could take care of himself, but she was worried about Rogue.

She might have gained more powers, but what if her powers suddenly stopped working. Or what if wherever they were, Logan couldn't heal himself, or they took out his metal.

Thoughts like those kept racing in her head. Suddenly Beast tapped her shoulder. She turned to look at him.

"Let me fly for a while." He said soothingly. She nodded and walked to the back of the Blackbird. She sat in a seat and emptied her mind of negative thoughts. She was supposed to be the calm one. Taking a deep breath she pushed her tears back.

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything

Jubilee tightened her grip on Bobby's hand. Bobby winced in pain, but she didn't notice. Rogue left and just when they find her, her and Logan get kidnapped.

Her best friend was kidnapped and they hadn't even been able to help. If her and Kitty hadn't agreed to come on the stupid mission, Rogue wouldn't have been afraid to walk away from the tournament.

Magneto had threatened her and Kitty, and Rogue didn't want her best friends to get hurt so she agreed to stay in battle. If they had left, they might have been able to make it back to Westchester without losing anybody.

Tears fell from her eyes and she looked over at Bobby, who had recently become her boyfriend. A week after Rogue and Bobby had broken up, she had asked Rogue for permission to date her ex-boyfriend. Rogue had smiled and said that if dating Bobby would make her happy, then she could.

Rogue was always smiling, thinking of others before herself. Caring, considerate Rogue. She was always their for Jubilee and now she was gone. No she was just missing! She couldn't give up on Rogue. She knew Rogue wouldn't give up on her.

Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Bobby gave Jubilee a reassuring smile. Behind the smile, he was devastated. He might of broken up with Rogue and gotten together with Jubilee, but he considered Rogue his best friend. She knew things that others didn't know and he still kind of had feeling for her.

He also kind of missed Logan. Sure he had been jealous of Logan at first, because of the bond he shared with Rogue, but Logan was really a good guy. Besides, if it hadn't been for Logan, Mr. Summers would still have a stick shoved up his ass. Now Logan and Rogue were missing and nobody knew if they would ever see them again.

Because of you...
Because of you...you...
