Daughter's dark love

Mystique and Rogue

X-Men Evolution

xxxxxxxxxxxx

"See you guys around!" called Kitty waving to Scott and Jean while she and Rogue headed to the entrance of the school. "Hey Rogue I was gonna go to the mall for a little shopping, wanna come with?"

"I'll pass, last thing I need is all those guys gawking at me."

"Alright, later than." Kitty waved as she walked away.

Rogue sighed while putting in her locker combo and glanced at her attire. 'Maybe I should get new clothes, I'm already showing so much skin with these and one wrong tear and any sap ends up passed out. I'll talk to Kitty after class.' she opened the locker and found something inside that wasn't there before, a necklace. It had a red thread hooked to a silver circle with a matching alloy that was in the symbol of an 'X' right in the middle and the whole thing just hung there in the middle of the locker. "Where'd that come from?" She questioned and reached into grab it. "Oh I see, Kitty must have phased through and put it there."

She pulled it out and looked it over. "Gotta say, it fits, but why the sudden gift? Maybe she's just trying to help me feel really welcomed." Rogue spoke before putting it on. She grabbed her books and shut her locker and was about to go to class before feeling a sudden pain hit her head and caused her to stumble. The books fell to the floor and she clutched her head.

"Gah! W-What in the?" she muttered before closing her eyes and groaned while the necklace glowed and she could see memories run through her mind with some seemingly focusing on the principal for some reason. Suddenly her from melted into that of her adopted mother, then again into Mystique's dark grin.

"M-M-Mystique?" she muttered while holding her head and started feeling calm for some reason. She shook her head and caught her breath. "I….I gotta see for myself." her books forgotten she raced off and made her way to Principal Darkholme's office. She didn't hesitate and knocked on the door hard.

There were footsteps on the other side before the door was opened and the principal had an angry expression on her face. "Rogue what is the meaning of this?"

"Miss Darkholme, I need to have a word with you. Or perhaps you'd rather I call you Mystique." she said softly.

The woman's eyes widened before she looked around the office and at the girl. "Come inside." she moved to let her enter before closing the door behind them.

Rogue walked over and sat down while Mystique pulled the blinds and curtains before taking her seat behind the desk. "How did you know? I was so careful."

"Let's just say I had a little help." she replied while crossing her arms. "I also found out something else that got me thinking. My adoptive mother didn't die did she? She was you in disguise the whole time."

Mystique kept their eyes locked for a few seconds before she took on her real form and nodded. "That's right, me and my friend Irene worked hard to raise you in secret and away from where that fool Xavier could find you, at least until, well you know what happened."

"Yeah," she said looking down at her hands, "that night at the dance."

"So let me guess, you're horrified, disgusted, or probably going to tell the X-Men and Xavier about me, right?" she guessed. "To be honest, I'm not going to stop you, I wouldn't even if I tried with your abilities."

"Yeah, one tap and I drain you….but for some reason…. I don't want to." she admitted. "In fact, I don't feel angry, disgusted, nothin' like that at all. I just felt like I had to come here….to be with you….my mom."

Mystique blinked and was stunned while it sounded like Rogue was being honest, but that didn't stop the blue skinned mutant from still being suspicious.

"I can't really explain why but….." she put her hands in her lap and looked down. "I just want my family back."

Mystique stood up and walked around before surprising even herself as she rubbed Rogue on the back. "Oh Rogue, my dear daughter."

Rogue turned and hugged Mystique around the waist while she felt tears come up into her eyes. "Mama."

'I know I'm suspicious of this being a hoax, but I know something's telling me it's not. Oh god, I wish Kurt was here and that bastard was dead, then everything would be perfect.'

"Rogue... darling, if you're serious about this then come meet me at my home, alone."

"Alright mama." spoke Rogue wiping the tears away while Mystique wrote down her address and handed it to her. "I...I better get to class." she said heading for the door. "Bye."

Mystique watched before resuming her disguise and smiled. "Don't worry Rogue, I know things'll be alright."

After school the Xavier students hopped into Scott's car, all except for one.

"Thanks guys, but I think I'll walk there, I wanna get some exercise." spoke Rogue.

"Alright but don't be late." Jean said from the passenger seat. "The professor wants us to try and get some training in before working on our homework."

"Right." Rogue spoke as they left. She looked at the address Mystique gave her before turning and speed walking to where it was located. When she got there it wasn't how she expected it to look. "What the? Wait, isn't this the place where Toad and those others creeps live at?"

"Who are you callin' creep?" Said mutant hopped out from the side of the house in his fighting attire.

"You froggy. Now act like those bugs you eat and buzz off."

"Mystique told us you were comin', hope you weren't expecting us to roll out the red carpet." he spoke as the other Brotherhood members walked out ready for a fight.

"Well if you were expecting me, this makes it easier. Unless you want you wanna make it harder than it has to be." she said taking off her gloves.

"Well normally with your powers I'd be all for getting out of the way, but what say we just see if you got what it takes to take us all on?" smirked Quicksilver before rushing at her.

She tossed her gloves and charged at him with a glint in her eyes and side stepped while taking a swipe at his exposed face as he passed.

He dodged with a smirk, but saw her still rushing and turned to see her heading for Toad, who was surprised and didn't get a chance to jump away before her hand met his face.

"Gah!" the mutant groaned and fell to the ground.

"Bleh, gonna need a shower and mouthwash after this." she cringed before turning towards towards Blob and pulled her head back and spat a glob of slime at his face.

"Can't see!" Yelled the large boy as Rogue jumped in the air and grabbed his head and was instantly drained.

"Oh come on!" called Quicksilver as Blob fell back unconscious . "Lance! Keep her away from you!"

"No problem." He grinned before making the ground rumble.

"Ugh, and triple the showers later tonight." shuddered Rogue before feeling the shaking and smirked before using Toad's leaping and jumped up into the air towards Lance with her fist pulled back and slammed it against Lance's jaw.

He felt a crack and his powers get drained before going flying and rolled on the ground before going unconscious.

"Three down, one dork to go."

"Oooh, I'm so scared." he mocked before smirking. "Newsflash honey, if you can't catch someone, you can't make them go beddy bye."

"And you can't out run an earthquake." she raised her hands and slammed them into the ground while using Blob's strength causing the ground to shake more than Lance caused it which made Quicksilver stumble while she gathered slime in her mouth and spat some out to his face.

"Aw yuck! Seriously?" he braced himself and wiped at it. "Well even with this on I can still avoid you." he turned and ran, but he failed to take notice of the tree and this resulted in him running smack dab into it. "Ugh, anyone get the number of that tree?"

Rogue walked over and tapped his forehead and drained his speed while he passed out. "Figures, the smug ones always end up passing out and are too fast."

"Well done Rogue." Said Mystique as she walked outside with a camera in hand.

Rogue turned to the woman and smiled. "Mama!"

"I'm very impressed. You not only showed your skills against four opponents, but how to use their powers in combinations against them, and I have it all on tape for Magneto, prove your loyalty and you'll be a part of the Brotherhood."

"Of course mama." she nodded. "What do you want me to do?"

"Get those four lout inside and try to bring them around, Magneto will be here shortly."

"Yes mama." she used Quicksilver's speed to get said mutant, Lance, and Toad inside quickly while dragging Blob in using his strength.

Toad was on the couch when cold water was poured on him. "Gah! W-What the?" he blinked and rubbed his eyes. "What happened?"

"I whooped your smarty ass." Rogue smirked holding a pitcher.

He frowned and sat up. "Yeah well, you just got lucky. Best two out of three."

"Enough." Spoke Mystique with her hands on her hips. "You've made big enough fools of yourself already."

Toad, along with the others Rogue spoke up before, let out groans from recollection of their defeat.

"Magneto will not be pleased with you four." said the blue skinned woman with a scowl.

"Aw come on Mystique, we can improve." spoke Lance.

"Do you really have to tell my dad?" Quicksilver questioned with worry.

"Oh I won't be telling him, he can watch it." she spoke while pointing to the camera.

"Aw man! Beat by a girl and we're gonna get chewed up and spat back out by the boss man." Toad whimpered.

That's when they saw the front door slam open before said mutant hovered in and turned to them.

"Welcome Magneto." Mystique greeted him. "I hope there was no trouble on you trip."

"No, especially when I heard the important news you told me about."

"Of course, you no doubt remember my adopted daughter, Rogue?1" Mystique gestured to the girl.

"Yes, and one of the children who follow Xavier." he spoke with narrowed eyes.

"Well you'll be happy to hear she will be joining our ranks. Isn't that right Rogue dear?"

"Yes mama." Rogue said with a nod. "Xavier academy is no longer my home."

"Words are meaningless." he frowned. "How can I be sure you're not working for that fool to get close?"

She thought for a moment before coming to a decision. She kneeled with one hand on the floor and the other on her opposite knee with her head lowered. "I pledge my allegiance to the brotherhood, Master Magneto."

Magneto lowered himself to touch the ground and crossed his arms. "To me, actions speak louder child."

"Perhaps you would prefer a demonstration of what she can do." Said Mystique grabbing the camera. She handed it to him while he played the tape in it and watched as she defeated the four boys single handedly.

"Xavier has taught you well." stated Magneto

"Actually Master, I've learned only so much, the rest I felt come to me naturally." she spoke while her necklace flashed pink for a brief second.

"Interesting," he said before looking at the boys with a frown. "I expected better from you four, especially you my son."

Quicksilver gulped and looked away while Magneto gave Mystique the camera back and pondered his decision.

"Fortunately thanks to a mutual friend, I may have the answer." He spoke taking out an injector.

"What's that?" asked Mystique.

"A formula with the potential to increase mutant powers along with providing much better control of those powers, in theory."

"You mean it has yet to be tested?" Asked Mystique. "What if it does the opposite effect and actually takes away her powers? Or worse?"

"Which is why I'm going to test it, on one of them." he turned to the four boys who went wide eyed and fearful. "I have with me five vials for you and Mystique."

"Here's a guinea pig for ya." Rogue said tossing Toad at the mans feet. "He seem like the most expendable one."

"N-Now hold on there. You don't wanna go with me first, take Blob, he loves needles." he spoke up with a gulp.

"Silence you simpering wort." Said Magneto lifting the boy up by the metal of his outfit with his powers. Mystique rolled up Toad's sleeve before Magneto made the needle push into his vein before pushing the serum into him.

"Yowch!" Yelled the boy before he was dropped and he looked himself over. "Huh guess it was a dud after-" he felt pain course through him and cried out in pain. "Ahhhhh! Oh god this hurts like a bitch!"

They watched in horror as his skin turned green with brown and black blotches here and there, webbing grew between his fingers, and his yellow teeth became sharp.

"Woah, now that's just wrong." cringed Blob.

After the pain stopped Toad looked at his hands and in his surprise let out a scream and jumped with enough force to slam into the ceiling. "Oof!"

"That's gonna leave a mark." winced Lance as Toad came crashing back to the ground. "You still in there Toad?"

"Mystique Lance hit me, I'm really thirsty." He slurped in his daze before passing out again.

"It seems there are external changes as well as internal." stated Magneto

"Uh, Blob I think you're up." spoke Quicksilver.

"No way! Make Lance do it!" Blob said pointing to said boy.

"Not happening! Quicksilver is eager!"

"Silence!" Shouted Magneto making the boys cringe before turning to Rogue. "The girl will be next."

Rogue stayed still while Mystique felt nervous and concern as the needle moved over to Rogue's arm.

"Prepare yourself Rogue." he said pulling the trigger.

She bit her lip and hissed feeling it go into her and rubbed the spot. After a few moments of waiting she felt like her body was on fire. Wrapping her arms around herself, she then crouched down and let it run its course.

Mystique looked at her with concern and was close to rushing over to hold her.

Rogue finally relaxed. "Mama?"

"Yes Rogue?"

She reached out her arm to the woman. "Let me touch you."

Mystique saw Magneto nod before slowly stretching her hand out and grasped her daughter's uncovered hand. The seconds ticked by and nothing happened.

"Uh, how come she didn't pass out?" asked Quicksilver.

Rogue let out a giggle which slowly grew into a laugh. "I can control my powers." she said and stood to look at them. The three boys plus Mystique were shocked by what they saw, but Magneto grinned.

(Later)

Kitty was in her room dancing with the music from her stereo. But as she started shaking her hips she heard a knock at her open door and turned to see Rogue leaning against the door frame. "Oh, hey Rogue." she shut the stereo off. "What's up? You missed out on training."

"Not much, just that I got control of my powers and wanted to tell my best pal first." she smiled while walking over and took her glove off before touching Kitty's hand. "See?"

"That's amazing Rogue, you must be so stoked!"

"You betcha, especially after a little something big happens. By the way have you seen Kurt?"

"Not since training." Kitty replied before noticing Rogue had yet to release her hand. "Uh Rogue? You can let go of my hand now, I believe you."

"I will, I just need something from you, your powers."

"Wha-" she let out a gasp as she felt a tingling sensation while Rogue grinned before Kitty fell back on the ground passed out.

Rogue smirked as her eyes went completely red. "Thanks Kitty, I'll make sure your power doesn't go to waste."

(flashback)

Magneto watched as Rogue drained Toad and dropped him on the floor.

"Time." the girl said before running around at high speed.

"Half an hour after absorbing Quicksilver's power." said Mystique.

"Yet they have not diminished." said Magneto with a pleased tone. "It seems once you absorb a mutants you adapt so that you can use them as well."

Rogue stopped and looked at him. "So every time I get a new power I keep it, permanently." Rogue simplified.

"Precisely, and without completely robbing your victims of their own mutation."

"So I can be a walking army, right?"

"Indeed, now you are to go to go back to Xavier's school, add their powers to your own."

"Gonna be kinda hard with these new peepers of mine. I can't go back like this."

"You can, If you take my powers." said Mystique.

"Good call mama." smirked Rogue.

"In return, I ask that you bring someone back, your brother Kurt."

"Alright, but I'm gonna have to take his powers too to get out of there much quicker." Rogue said before grasping Mystique's hand as they felt the surge go through them before the woman collapsed in Rogue's arms. She closed her eyes before opening them to show her normal eyes.

"Rogue. If you can't destroy the academy. Then I expect you to return with the powers and abilities of the most powerful of Xaviers students."

"Trust me, they won't see it comin'." she smirked while setting Mystique down.

(End flashback)

She walked out into the hall with her eyes disguised. She looked at where Kurt's room was and gave a few knocks, but instead of her brother it was Jamie who opened the door. "Jamie? What are you doin' in Kurt's room? Where is he?"

"He went out for a while. He asked if I'd clean his room if he brought me back a milk shake."

"Well in that case." she frowned before grabbing him by his neck and drained him, adding his power to her arsenal. He groaned and fell back before passing out as she shut the door. "Gotta be careful, too many and they'll know something's up. Meaning I need to hurry up and get the better powers fast. Better cover my tracks." she dragged Jamie into the room and phased him on the bed and shut the door behind her before booking it down the hall. "Ok, counting Storm, Jean, and the professor, who else is there?" she asked herself.

"Hey Rogue." spoke Scott stepping out from his room.

'Well I guess he'll do.' she thought and turned to the boy. "Hey Scott, how was training?"

"You wouldn't have to ask if you were actually there, Logan's been looking for you."

'Ah Logan.' she thought. "Right, well my walk back took a little longer because I….saw some guys checking me out and I had to beat the livin' daylights out of 'em after one grabbed my ass."

"Rogue, while I get you had a reason to do that, starting up fights, especially with your powers, is not a good idea. Hey, wait a sec. Where are your gloves?"

Her eyes widened and tried to think of something. Unable to think of an excuse she lunged and tried to grab him.

He reacted quickly and grabbed her by the part of her forearms that was covered by her shirt sleeves. "Rogue! What are you doing?!"

"What's it look like genius?" she replied. "Trying to show you I can control my powers. With a an added bonus she smirked and split in three.

Scott's eyes widened before one of them touched his cheek and he groaned before letting go and dropped to the ground before passing out and Rogue reabsorbed the second clone while the third opened a nearby closet for them to stuff Scott in and pulled a nearby pedestal under the knob.

After getting him locked away Rogue smirked as she absorbed the final clone and headed to the garage with an idea in mind. "This'll be good."

Logan grunted as he turned another bolt on his motorcycle while trying to take his frustration out on focusing on tuning his ride up.

"Hiya handsome." spoke Rogue entering the garage with a seductive tone. "I heard you were looking for me." she walked in swaying her hips.

He looked up and frowned. "Yeah Rogue, especially after you ditched training practice for no good reason."

"So what, you gonna spank me big boy?" she purred. "Or maybe you wanna get down and dirty like the beast you are, hmm?" she spoke and batted her eyelashes.

Logan looked at her with shock. "Rogue, what's going on with you? If this is some joke to get out of me getting mad, it's not funny."

"You don't think I look attractive?" she fake frowned. "Or maybe you prefer Jean, right? I've seen how you look at her with subtle glances."

Logan frowned and shook his head. "Look Rogue, I think we should have Xavier look at your head and see if you're feeling alright."

"I'm just fine...but you won't be." she frowned before lunging and reached out with her finger touching his forehead.

He dropped to the floor with Rogue grinning over him. "And that makes four."

Storm walked through the hall and heard the music from Kitty's room blaring. She went to the door and knocked. "Kitty? Can you try and turn the music down?" she waited for an answer but there was none. "Kitty! Can you hear me?" she opened the door and to her shock found the girl in question lying on the floor unconscious. "Kitty!" she ran over and crouched down while putting two fingers to her neck. "Good, she's still alive. Kitty, Kitty wake up."

Kitty groaned and her eyes slowly opened a little. "S...Storm?"

"What happened?"

Kitty tried sitting up and rubbed her head. "R...Rogue, she came in here to show me she could control her powers. But then….I passed out."

"What?" Storm questioned. "Kitty, where did she go?"

"I wasn't really awake to see, obviously."

"Kitty, I want you to follow me, we need to find her, I've got a bad feeling about this."

"Alright."

Both left the room with Storm leading the way. "Storm, Rogue said she needed my powers before I blacked out, what do you think that's about?"

"If she has control over her powers and took yours, she can quickly slip out around the mansion, and if she did that for no reason, then I'm afraid she might attempt to sabotage us from inside."

"But why, I thought we were becoming friends."

"I don't know, but we need to warn everyone else, especially those with the strongest powers before Rogue can get to them. We must also inform professor Xavier."

"I'll do it, I can get to him faster." Kitty said before going through a wall. 'Rogue, why are you doing something like this?' she thought going through the halls.

Outside a van was parked not too far away with Mystique at the wheel. "Be ready," she said to four figures in the back 'one of which being Toad looking at himself in a small hand mirror'. "If we see any kind of disturbance we move in."

"Yeah, sure, got it, whatever." Toad waved. "Man, I can't make this look work, I'm never gonna get me a cute girl."

"Think of it as an improvement." snickered Lance sitting across from him in the shadows.

"Your appearances aren't important." Mystique frowned back at them. "What matters is that now you are stronger than ever before, the X-Men won't know what hit them."

"Don't worry, we can take'em this time." said Blob confidently.

"Oh yeah, plus we can use this opportunity for field training." Quicksilver chuckled.

Toad sighed and put the mirror down and stared off into space as they waited before a thought entered his mind. "Hey Mystique, just so ya know I ain't bothered by the whole red eyes thing. So is it cool with you if I-"

"If you're going to ask for permission to court my daughter the rest of your days of puberty are going to be very dull." she spoke in a sharp tone making Toad cover his groin.

Logan regained consciousness and shook his head as he hefted himself off the floor. "That girl is in so much trouble." he growled.

Kitty popped her head in and spotted Logan. "Logan! Did Rogue come in here?"

"Yeah, she was acting all flirty and got me by surprise." he pushed himself up. "You I can understand but not her."

"Me and Storm are looking for her cause she got me by surprise and took my powers too."

"She can't retain them for too long. We wear her out and we can grab her." he spoke while bringing his claws out and walked out of the garage with Kitty following.

"I told the professor and he's trying to track her, but for some reason he can't pinpoint where she is. Like she's in more than one place."

"She's gonna slip up, and when she does she's gonna wish she didn't get greedy." he narrowed his eyes.

*BANG* *BANG* "Help get me out of here!" yelled Scott from the closet.

"Scott?" Kitty turned and phased through it before moving the pedestal and let Scott out. "Let me guess, Rogue?"

"Yeah, I tried to stop her but she's got Jamie's powers." Said Scott.

"Just how many people is she gonna sap from before she's done?" groaned Kitty.

"X-men I've located Rogue. In the living area." Xavier telepathically spoke to them.

"Let's go you two." spoke Logan before running down the hall.

When they arrived they found said girl leaning back against a tall chair. "Took ya'll long enough."

"Rogue, you got a lot of explaining to do." spoke Logan with a growl.

"Aw, did someone wake up cwanky?" she asked flirtatiously.

"We're serious Rogue, what's the big idea of draining our powers?" asked Scott with a frown.

"I don't just have your powers Pretty Boy." she took a breath and spat out slime globs at them.

"Gross!" spoke Kitty ducking while the others dodged. "Wait, that's Toad's power!"

"And you might wanna take a look at what they can do." pointed Rogue.

They turned and saw the globs eating away at whatever they landed on.

"Acid spit?" Scott Spit

"What the? I don't remember that happening." spoke Kitty with nervousness.

"The brotherhood has a lot of new powers thanks to Magneto, including me." Rogue dropped her disguise and showed off her new eyes.

"So you really have gone and stabbed us in the back." snarled Logan. "Big mistake kid." he said holding up his claws.

"Oh so you wanna tussle," she said as bony claws sprouted from between her knuckles. "Bring it."

"She has your claws." scott spoke

"Those aren't mine." Replied logan.

"No," Rogue slammed her elbow against the chair making Evan slump over the armrest. "They're from him."

"Evan!" Scott held his hand up to his glasses. "That's it Rogue, we do this the hard way then." he lifted his glasses and fired at her only to miss as she dashed off at high speed.

"Nope." she smirked while swinging at Logan who managed to block it. "Not bad, but we're just getting started."

Scott and Kitty moved to grab Rogue but suddenly she split copies from herself to counter and even the odds.

"Why are you doing this Rogue?" asked Logan. "We took you in and treated you like family!"

"Oh sure, but let's face it, I never would have gotten this much control if I stuck around, and I found a bigger reason to leave." she grunted while keeping their claws locked. "Magneto offered me something that would let me control my abilities. Wouldn't you give anything to have your memories back?"

"If it meant working with that psycho, I'd rather die." snarled Logan pushing back with his adamantium claws digging into hers.

"What about you Scott?" The clone who was swinging at him. "Wouldn't you like to look at Jean with them pretty green eyes of yours?"

"That's not the issue here!" he spoke jumping back before taking his glasses up and fired his beam, blasting the clone back.

"AHHH!" The clone rolled over the floor seriously burned but thanks to Logan's healing powers it was healed in no time, the same could not be said about her clothes though. "Wow Scott, who knew you tried this to get girls out of their clothes."

"Stop this Rogue!" called Jean entering the room with Storm and several other students with a majority of the males focusing on the half naked clone.

"Ah good, I've been looking for you two." smirked the original at Jean and Ororo before blasting Logan back with Scott's powers and turned to her. "You and Jean are gonna make things much easier, for me."

"Don't let her touch you!" Cried Scott before his combatant slammed her fist in his head knocking his glasses off before his beams blasted out a nearby window.

Mystique saw this and frowned. "You four go assist Rogue, and don't you dare think of coming back without her and my son."

The four nodded and rushed out of the van and ran to the mansion with Blob swinging his fists and busted the doors open.

A blur zoomed in, raced to the living area, and bowled down the students. "I'd call that a perfect strike." he said standing tall with longer white hair and a more chiseled body.

"Pietro?" Blinked Kitty. "What happened to you?"

"Let's just say I got an upgrade. You like?" he flexed his muscles with a cocky smirk.

"I don't need your help." Frowned Rogue.

"Your mom says otherwise." spoke Toad before spitting his goo at Jean and the other students. "Toad is in the hizouse yo!" he said jumping over them.

They scattered and avoided the acid sludge while Jean held Toad up with her power before sending him flying back.

"Toad...what have you done to yourself?" The redhead ask before Rogue dashed at her and carried her out of the room before pinning her against a wall.

"Heh heh you know Jean, after taking Scott's powers I could see how much he feels about you," said Rogue before a hand moved and stroked her fingers against Jean's nether region causing her to gasp in shock "Tell me you don't run around in this fancy leotard just to get his attention."

"S-Stop that!" gasped Jean with a light blush.

"No panties either? Someone's certainly bold." smirked Rogue before raising her hand and pressed it against Jean's face. "Night night sugar." In only a second Jean was down for the count. "Damn girl, you're a kinky one."

"Back off Rogue!" called Bobby before firing an ice blast at her. "Gotcha!"

"Eh, wrong." she smirked before forming several spikes out of her body to crack the ice and used Blob's strength to shatter it off. "Care to try again frosty?" she spoke while her spikes heated up. "Wha-Woah, where'd this comfrom?"

Amara ran up before her form changed and she fired a stream of lava at her without hesitation.

"Ahh!" Rogue screamed and braced herself as it made impact. She gritted her teeth and glared at her before firing beams that blasted her back and hissed as her regeneration took over. "You little bitch!" she roared as plates started forming over her.

Bobby's eyes widened before getting yanked towards her with Jean's powers before she grabbed his face and started draining him as well when she dropped him she looked at her reflection in a picture frame.

"Hmm, not bad." she remarked looking at the armor. "This could come in handy." she turned back to the living area where the others were fighting her clones and two of the brotherhood members. She turned to where Storm was and smirked before bringing the spikes out from her arms and shot them at her cloak pinning it.

The woman looked back and her eyes widened at the girls armored form.

"Who knew that nephew of yours had this kind of potential Ororo." said Rogue making the ends of the spikes heat up. "Now I can't wait till I take your powers next."

"No!" Yelled Kitty who grabbed Storm and phased through the floor.

Rogue growled and fired at the floor with frustration. "Damn you Kitty! Why are you making this so difficult!" she cried and was about to go after them when a spike hit her and she looked up at Evan.

"Looks like you don't keep people down as long as you use to." He said looking her over. "So that armor, it's from me?"

"No shit." she said to him. "But you're not gonna get a chance to use it, now buzz off."

"You want my aunt, you gotta go through me." He said with a determined look in his eyes.

Meanwhile the professor was monitoring the fight in Cerebro when Kitty and Storm Phased in.

"Professor, things have gone nutty upstairs." spoke Kitty.

"I know, Something's changed in Rogue's mind."

"But what?" asked Storm. "What could've possibly made her turn on us?"

"Can you see anything in her head Professor?" asked Kitty.

"It was blocked by something after Amara attacked her."

"Professor, if she can keep any power she's taken, how can we stop her?" asked Storm. "Even if we knock her unconscious, as soon as she wakes up she'll break free."

"While her mind was still open to me I managed to get as much as I could. Most of her thoughts revolve around pleasing her adopted Mother."

"What kinda mom would find all this as a good thing?" frowned Kitty.

"The kind that turns out to be Magneto's right hand, Mystique."

"W-W-What?!"

"It all started after finding a necklace in her locker which she believes was from you Kitty. Now her loyalties are with the Brotherhood."

"What? That's crazy? I didn't get her any necklace, and how can some weird accessory make her do a one-eighty?"

"I know it wasn't you Kitty, but whatever it is you must remove it from her. hopefully that will bring her back to us." informed the professor.

"You mean you want me to try and get close? She'll notice me easy."

"Not unless you go through her and grab it."

Kitty sighed and nodded. "I'll try, but it's not gonna be easy."

Scott and Logan were dealt with and Pietro dusted of his hands while Toad was about to grope one of the unconscious girl's breasts.

"Hey!" Rogue called.

"I didn't do it!" the boy recoiled.

"Do what?" Rogue questioned walking over and re absorbed her clones "I was going to ask where Lance and Blob were."

"Oh. Well those two are outside in case we were gonna have to bring the house down." spoke Toad with an innocent grin.

"Well tell them to make themselves scarce, we don't want Kurt getting scared off. Now I just need to get this armor off." She spoke using a mix of Mystique and Logan's powers to make the plates fall off exposing her upper body.

"Woah!" spoke Toad with wide eyes. "Now those some nice gazongas." he said with a wolf whistle which got him a kick to the gonads from Rogue. "AIIIIII! N...Never….mind…." he squeaked out while falling to the ground.

"Pietro get him and the others out of here."

"Where do you want them? On the front lawn or try to stuff them in the truck cause that's gonna be bit snug."

"Tie 'em and hide 'em." Ordered Rogue using Mystique's power to form coverage for her breasts. "and find Storm, once I add her power to mine, I'll be unstoppable."

"And if I find Kurt? Want me to lock him out without question?" chuckled Quicksilver.

"I just want to talk with my brother, not hurt him. But find the professor too. and take this," she said tossing the shredded plate helmet. "I think it shields from his mental powers, could read anyones mind after I absorbed Jean's powers and it formed on me."

"Right-o." he saluted putting the helmet on before picking up the fallen mutants and zipping off into the mansion.

'You can hear my thoughts right now, can't you Xavier?'

'Yes Rogue, and I must say you need to realize this isn't you.'

'Its me alright, kinda odd you didn't try to stop me and the others with your powers. That big heart of yours get in the way?' she asked grabbing some logs and threw them into the fireplace.

'It's because I had hoped you would snap out of it on your own time and that the others could stop you, but it seems that was a mistake on my part,' he replied providing a distraction while Kitty entered the room. 'but that doesn't change the fact you must stop this. Following Magneto's ways will only lead to more harm than good.'

'Trust me, I'm not with Magneto, neither is Mama. She only listens as long as it benefits her. He's the reason Kurt's a fuzzy elf to begin with.' she frowned. 'That's why after I get Storm's powers, and grab him, we're out of here.'

Kitty was about to reach through Rogue when a pair of muscular arms grabbed her and she yelped in surprise.

"Sorry Kitty, can't let you do that." spoke Lance. Like Pietro he too had a more toned physique. Kitty could swear she was blushing, especially with one of his arm under her chest.

"Kitty, just what were you tryin' to do?" frowned Rogue turning to the girl.

"I was going to take that necklace off you and have you back to normal."

"What necklace?" Lance questioned.

"The one's she's been wearing this whole time." Kitty said to him

"You mean this thing?" Rogue reached for her neck but found it wasn't there anymore. "Huh, not there anymore, oh well. It doesn't matter really."

'What? But that makes no sense. If the necklace was making her act this way, she should have gone back to normal if it's gone. Professor help!'

"Don't bother." Rogue said. "You may be able to hear him but he can't do anything. Now that I have Jeans powers added to my arsenal I can keep him from doing anything to me or anyone close by if I just concentrate hard enough. I got an idea, why don't you come join us. Our place could use a woman's touch and I might be able to talk mama into letting you share a room with Lance here. I know how you feel about him after absorbing your powers."

Kitty blushed and shook her head. "I-I can't just betray the professor like that!"

"Kitty I know I've never said this to you, but the truth is, you were like a sister to me, which is gonna make this even harder." she frowned. "Besides, if we could this much damage with you guys outnumbering us, how's that gonna help later on if people find out and shoot to kill? Make the right choice Kitty." she finished and reached out her hand.

Kitty looked at the mansion while biting her lip since she wasn't against her position, but Rogue's words did make sense, but she'd be going against the man who offered her a home after discovering her powers. She was so conflicted it was making her chest hurt.

"Rogue, maybe just give her time to think it over." suggested Lance.

"I guess, but once I'm done talking' with Kurt we're out of here. Let her go."

Lance let go of Kitty who stood there and looked at the ground while lance walked out.

"FYI, no matter what you choose, I won't tell him you accidentally phase out of your panties whenever you're with him." Rogue whispered.

Kitty gasped and blushed and only watched as Rogue went to the fireplace and lit the logs before Quicksilver came back in.

"Yo Rogue, alright I tied the old man up, but found diddly with the blue boy."

"What about Storm?"

"Couldn't find her. And Blob didn't see her fly off."

"Bring him with then, we'll make him talk and I'm gonna find Kurt."

Kitty could only stand idly by while Quicksilver left. That's when said blue skinned mutant teleported into the building with bags on his arms and a styrofoam cup in his hand.

"I'm back! And I could use a hand with these." he said as the bags blocked his vision.

Rogue smirked and walked over. "I can lend a hand with those, it's the least I could do, for you." she said to him.

"Thanks Rogue, I swear I thought I was gonna hit something on the way here." he chuckled. "Where's Jamie, I got him that milkshake he wanted."

"Sleeping, along with everyone else. But I gotta tell ya, you probably shouldn't give it to him." she said as they put the bags on the kitchen counter. "all he did was lay on your bed and wait for you to get back instead of cleaning your room like you asked him to."

"Are you serious? Why that dirty- fine if that's how he wants to play then I guess this is my milkshake." he spoke and started slurping while trying to walk to the kitchen without noticing Kitty or Quicksilver in the room trying to stifle a snicker.

"Hey Kurt let me ask you, you ever think of you mom? Your birth mom I mean."

He stopped and frowned. "No."

"Really, not even a little?" Rogue asked him.

"Rogue, if you're talking about Mystique, thinking about it hurts. I mean, I don't know what happened, why she couldn't raise me, and even if there was a reason, I can't worry about that because she's our sworn enemy, remember?"

"I remember, but it turns out that the woman who adopted me…. was Mystique." The girl replied.

"What?!" he jumped and stumbled with the milk shake falling from his hands "T...T….Are you serious?"

"As a heart attack. And you know what that means?"

"You're...my sister." he breathed out in reply. 'Which means that time I stared...oh mein gott!'

"And I also had a little heart to heart with Mystique herself, I even looked in her head."

"What? When did that happen?"

"Earlier today, on my walk. Kurt, she didn't abandon you, she loved you and still does."

"She sure has a funny way of showing it." he rolled his eyes.

"She didn't know it was you when until recently. I saw what happened in her memories. You need to hear me out."

"I'll do that just AFTER I put these away." he spoke gesturing to the bags that were still on the counter. He wasn't sure if he was ready to hear what Rogue had to say about Mystique.

"Fine you do that, and I'll just talk okay?" Rogue questioned.

"...*sigh* Da." he answered as he emptied the bags and started putting the canned goods away.

"Look, the reason you actually became a mutant was due to experiments Magneto was doing on you when you were a baby, something she was against and horrified at."

"What!" Kurt looked at Rogue with wide eyes...Magneto?….HE DID THIS TO ME!?"

"Yeah, that's why she secretly hates him."

He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands before crying out and punched the wall.

"There's more, After she took you back she ran away from him as fast as possible until wolves started chasing after her along with Magneto. She fled to a rope bridge but wolf kept coming after you, all she could think about was keeping you safe."

"What happened next?" he asked with his back turned while rubbing his hand.

"She accidentally dropped you into the river below. She thought you were dead, and it broke her heart. She cried for days and stopped eating for even longer. At times...she even wanted to die."

Kurt blinked and was stunned to hear this was the same woman they were fighting against. "Wait, so she didn't want to leave me? It was an accident I wound up at my- the Wagners?"

"That's what I saw, she hates taking orders from Magneto and is waiting for her moment to knock him off his high horse, and of course she wants her son by her side."

"But….what about here? The X-Men?"

"Who do you think will be there most of all for you? Them, or a mother who wants her kids with her? Besides don't you want to get back at Magneto for doing what he did to you?"

"Well...yeah, but I just don't know. The professor gave me a home when people were scared of me."

"Kurt, Come on little brother, just talk to her." she urged while patting his back. "She's really hurtin'"

"...Alright." he conceded. "But I'll need to tell the professor I'll be gone for a while."

"That won't be necessary." Said Rogue. "Pietro."

"You called?" spoke said male running over and causing Kurt to jump from surprise.

"Bring in Xavier." Said Rogue.

"Gladly." he zipped out and came back with said man in his wheel chair and tied to it. "Sorry it took me so long."

"Professor!" spoke Kurt with wide eyes. "Wait, what's Pietro doing here and why is the professor tied up?"

Rogue turned to him and showed off her red eyes. "You'll understand when we leave. Now then professor, where is Storm?"

"I can't tell you."

"Can't, or won't?" Rogue narrowed her eyes and grabbed his head. "Because I'll force my way into your head if you don't talk."

"I told her to leave and go somewhere safe, I told her not to tell me because I knew you'd try this."

Rogue growled and used her power, she already had Jean's so it was more about knocking him out.

"Rogue!"

"Let's get out of here." Rogue said to Quicksilver.

"And him?" he asked to Kurt who looked shocked and close to teleporting away.

"Your choice Kurt, come with us and be with Mama, or stay here." she spoke with her hand raised. "I don't wanna have to make you."

"...Rogue I…." he thought over it before he lowered his head. "Alright, let's go."

"Good," she said walking out. "Kitty last chance, wanna join the brotherhood or stay here?"

"I...I don't wanna be by myself, but I don't wanna do anything that might hurt people. If I go, do I have to cause trouble?"

"We'll talk with Mama." Rogue stated and guided her to the door.

"Yo wait up for us!" Toad hopped down the stairs with Tabitha behind him.

"Hold up, what's she doing comin' with?" asked Rogue with suspicion.

"I'm joining the winning team." Tabitha spoke.

"Like how you joined the X-Men without hesitation? You always seem ready to jump to whoever seems to be winning."

"So I like to win, is that so wrong?"

"Ugh alright, but you're bunking with Toad." said Rogue.

"Sounds good to me." smirked said mutant while wiggling his eyebrows at the girl who cringed from him.

"Let's go." Rogue said. All of them walked out with a larger and more muscled Blob standing guard right next to the van with his own small beard on his chin.

Mystique saw them approach in the mirror and stepped out.

"Mama!" Rogue waved. "Mission accomplished."

"Kurt." The blue skinned woman said walking over to the boy.

"Hello, mother." he spoke a little awkwardly.

She smiled and pulled him into her arms. "Please Kurt, I know this might seem odd, but I truly do care for you." she said with misty eyes. "I would have told you at our last meeting but these four imbeciles were taking orders from Magento."

He found himself sniffling and hugged her back. "Mother."

"Hey you forget about me." Rogue said jokingly. "Let me in on some of that."

"Of course Rogue." smiled Mystique letting Rogue move over before hugging both her children tightly.

"Okay enough of the live fest let's get going." Said Lance.

"Say that again, I dare ya." spoke Rogue with her eyes glowing. "We're having a moment here."

He held his hands up and stepped back.

Mystique took notice of the other two girls and blinked. "Rogue, why are they here and not dealt with?"

"New recruits." she replied. "Don't worry, if they try anything, well you can guess what I can do to them. But if ya need a demonstration let's get back home and show Magneto."

"Fine, everyone get in the van."

They drove back and waiting for them was none other than the master of magnetism himself.

"It would seem everything went well I take it?" he asked seeing Kurt, Kitty, and Tabitha with the group.

"Well not entirely, Storm got away." Rogue said lowering her head.

"Still, you managed to acquire Xavier." he smirked seeing them pull the tied up man out of the back. "So give her time, she'll come and then you can sap her strength. Now show me what you are capable of now."

Rogue nodded before covering herself in armor plating and heated up the tips. Then she made an army of duplicates who saluted him. "Hail Magneto!"

"Very impressive."

"And with both Jean and Xavier's power we are a unified Legion." the Rogue's spoke as one.

"And can use any power we took without a problem." smirked the original Rogue with the copies either forming ice, shooting eye beams, or spikes. "And last but not least, Wolverine's healing abilities." she formed spikes from her knuckles before making a large gash over the exposed part of her other arm which healed almost instantly. "I hope these results are satisfactory."

"Very satisfactory, and it will only get better with each new mutant we find."

She nodded and absorbed her copies and shed the armor. "Anything else?"

"For now no, just make sure Xavier feels, welcome."

"Gladly." smirked Lance while Blob picked said professor up while they walked back into their house.

Rogue had tied a plate helmet on his head to block his powers. As promised Kitty was put in the same room as Lance, Tabitha reluctantly agreed to bunk with Toad, and Kurt with Quicksilver.

"So mama, how's it feel?" asked Rogue while sitting on the bed.

"Having my children back? Its wonderful dear." smiled Mystique while looking in the mirror since she had agreed to let Rogue bunk with her while staying there. "Is Xavier secure?"

"We put him in Blob's room, we'll trade him back for Storm's power." she replied while idly glancing at Mystique's ass with a glint in her eyes. "And made it clear if she didn't comply, we'd put his head on a pike."

"You've done well Rogue, even though you are my adopted child, I am proud to call you my daughter."

"Trust me mama, you need anything, just say the word." she grinned and stood to her feet before walking up and hugged her.

Mystique smiled, but idly noticed something poking her from behind. "Rogue is there something in your pocket?"

"Oh, no mama, but I did learn a little something." Rogue said feeling awkward and breaking the hug. "Turns out I absorbed a little something' extra when I absorbed all those boys powers. "Don't freak out." she reached down and undid her skirt and pants.

Mystique looked over and went wide eyed seeing a bulge behind Rogue's panties. "I-I-Is that a…"

"Yeah…." she looked to the side with a blush. "On the upside, nobody can't say I don't have the balls to do something."

"Those too? Oh my."

"Uh….I'll just be going now." spoke Rogue before putting her skirt and pants back on and transformed into a cat before scurrying out of the room.

"Oh Rogue."

Said girl walked down the stairs while picturing Mystique's ass back in her mind and let out a purr while the symbol of the necklace was briefly seen through her fur with her eyes darkening.
