Chapter 39- Family Matters? Pt. 2

Narrator- Rogue

"Where are you going?" Gambit asked Scott as he left our room in the middle of the night.

"Back to the city. I'm going back to the orphanage," Scott replied.

"Gambit better come too. You could use protection,"

"I have enough protection bursting out of my eyes,"

"Yeah but I can control my powers,"

"I'm so sick of people saying I'm weak because I have no control,"

"Well you don't,"

"Why would you even want to come? This is about me and my family,"

"You'll get killed. Someone will probably be there. Someone who ain't friendly,"

"Where are you guys going?" I asked without them knowing I was behind them.

"I'm going to Sinister's lab, Gambit's arguing with me and you're supposed to be sleeping," Scott said.

"Well actually I was going to go on a joy ride in the jet but I think this might be better," I replied. Somehow we talked Scott into taking us to the lab.

"Scott, how long have you been flying this jet?" Gambit asked.

"I learned when I was 13," Scott replied.

"Isn't that illegal?" Gambit asked.

"Probably," we arrived at the orphanage. The door was locked. "Don't worry I can bust it down,"

"Yeah but Gambit can blow it up," I said.

"So?" Scott said.

"It'll look cooler," the door exploded when Gambit put his hands on it. "Told you," We searched around the lab, it was old, dusty and empty.

"All of these documents seemed to be burned," Gambit said looking at papers he found in a cabinet.

"Just more proof Sinister's still alive. They weren't burned last time we were here," Scott said.

"Aren't you relived you aren't a cold blooded killer, Scott?" I asked.

"No, I'm angry that that bastards still alive," Scott said.

"Well, what if someone else burned these documents?" Gambit asked.

"Who would do that?" Scott asked.

"No duh, someone who would work for Sinister. Mystique probably," I said.

"Refresh my memory on who that is," Scott said.

"She was a terrorist who tried to blow up Midtown High. Then she helped the Brotherhood join the Acolytes. But she then took them into Sinister's custody. She also shape-shifts," I said.

"Oh yeah," Scott said. "Wasn't she your foster mom?"

"Don't remind me," I said.

"Look Scott, I was living here for 3 months. Sinister always mentioned you but never your father or Alex," Gambit said.

"What did he say?" Scott asked.

"He said something about your powers awakening some ancient mutant," Gambit said. "Just a load of bull," I walked away into the next room. It turned out to just be a closet with another locked door.

"Gambit, could you help me get this lock of the door?" I asked. Gambit and Scott walked towards the door,

"All right, stand back kids," Gambit said. "Gambit's about to blow another thing off," he touched the lock. It started glowing. Gambit took a few steps back, causing Scott to trip and fall on the lock when it was about to explode.

"Scott, no!" I yelled. The lock blew off as it was touching Scott's stomach. He fell on the floor.

"C-crap, my face," Scott said.

"It blew up in your stomach," Gambit reminded him.

"I fell on my face, though," Scott said as he got up. There was a hole in his shirt, but no mark on his stomach. "Whoa, no mark. I'm immune to your powers. Sweet,"

"Umm, that's weird," I said. I walked in the room. It had a filing cabinet in the corner. Other than that it was empty. I opened the cabinet. Only one file was there. It was a folder that read 'Summers Family'. "Scott, this could be what you're looking for," the folder had un-burnt papers. It was about 20 pages. "Scott?"

I looked behind me, I didn't realize Gambit and Scott didn't follow me. I looked out the room. I didn't see anyone. "Gambit? Scott?" I asked. "Anybody?" in the distance I heard a faint cry. I followed the sound. It lead me to a corner where a little girl was crying. "What happened?" I asked.

"I'm scared, Mr. Sinister did bad things to me," she said. She looked 5.

"You don't need to cry. Everything's going to be ok. Sinister hasn't been here for months," I replied

"You have no idea. You have no idea," the girl said. The second time she said it, her voice got deeper. Her eyes were glowing red.

"What's going on?" I asked, freaking out. The little girl changed shape, into Sinister. He choked me and covered my mouth so I wouldn't scream.

"Hello Rogue. Your mother and I were very close, maybe one day you could have called me your father. I need you to hand over the documents and tell me where Scott is," Sinister said.

"I'm right here Sinister. Now let the girl go and you won't get hurt." Scott said from a balcony above us.

"I'm so sorry Scott, but remember. You're the weak one," Sinister said.

"What's your damage!?" Scott asked as he fired a beam at Sinister's face. I was free. I ripped off my glove and latched on to his face.

Sinister started screaming when he reverted to his regular form, Mystique. "Aaagh. Get the hell off of me," she said.

"Mystique?" I asked. "What do you want? Is Sinister paying you money to burn his files and take back this one?"

"Yes, but now that you have my memories, I know you learned something more about me," she said.

I looked through her thoughts. Out of all the corruption, personal damage, and evil, there was one thought that was pure. Out of all people in the world she loved only one person…me. "Oh my god, mom. I never knew you felt that way," I said.

"Rogue, I need you to give me those files. I need them for Sinister," she said.

"Don't do it Rogue," Scott said.

"I can't mom, my friends need me,"

"But I love you,"

"Mom, I don't know what to do,"

"You just had to give me the hard choice," Mystique said. She got up and kicked my ass. She kicked me in the gut and then threw me against the wall. She choked me. "Listen you little scum, it's my ass on the line here. If I don't give Sinister those files, he'll kill me,"

"No, you listen mom," I touched her face. "You're a terrible person. You're a terrorist, a slave to stronger people's commands. But worst of all…you are the worst mom I ever met," I threw her down.

"Rogue?" Gambit asked running towards me from another room. "Your skin's blue," I apparently took Mystique's blue skin.

Mystique got up and pulled out a knife. She got Gambit in a position that could give her the chance to slit his throat. "I can't find it in me to kill you. So I might as well kill him. Rogue, give me the files and I won't waste your little boyfriend,"

"You're forgetting one thing Mystique," Gambit said. "The sinister never win," Gambit charged up Mystique's leg with kinetic energy, she dropped the knife and looked at her glowing leg.

Gambit broke free of Mystique's hold. "You little son of a-AAAAARGH!" she yelled. A bright flash hit us. Mystique was in a pool of blood, with only one leg.

"Mom? Oh no," I said.

"Rogue, put me out of my misery, take my life force," she said. "Please, mercy-kill me,"

It was a hard choice, to kill my mom or not. I got down to her level. "Oh mom, look what you've done to yourself,"

"Please," I put my hand on her cheek and watched my evil mom slowly die. "I love you," Mystique's last words. My skin was blue, my eyes were yellow and I could shape shift. I shape shifted back to my normal form.

"Umm, I think we should go home," Scott said after some awkward silence. In the jet Gambit was hugging me.

"I don't know if I should be happy or sad," I said.

"Just feel how you want to feel," he replied. He opened up the folder with information on Scott's family.

"Do you see anything Gambit?" Scott asked while he was flying the plane.

"I'm sorry Scott. Your dad might be dad, or missing," Gambit replied.

"If he went 'missing' for 5 years I'm pretty sure he'd be dead by now," Scott said sadly. "I guess I better face the fact that I'm on earth not some fantasy planet where my dad's alive,"

"Umm…Scott," Gambit said.

"What?"

"Check out this sentence from Sinister's log: 'I took in the 3rd Summers brother today. Hopefully he'll lead me to Scott. 'You have a 3rd brother,"

"And Sinister took him to the labs one day. What's the date on the log?" Scott asked.

"The same day he took me in,"

Next: Cyclops vs. Havok.

Note: I know in the comics Gambit isn't Cyclops' brother, but this isn't entirely based of comics. It's called fan fiction for a reason. I'm also sorry I killed off Mystique, in a gruesome fashion. At least Rogue has new powers.
