don't own anything in this fic except Jack. Happy now?!
As he expected, the door was locked. No matter how hard Alex Summers
slammed himself on it, it just didn't budge, so he gave up and slammed his fist
on the door.
"Jack!" He yelled.
"I'm here!" He heard a faint cry from inside.
"Can you open from inside?" Alex yelled.
Silence.
"Jack?"
"Yes I can" Jack answered but he sounded... Different. Something in his voice was
wrong. Alex heard the sound of the
lock twisting, and then the door opened.
"Jack?" He said. But it wasn't Jack. It was someone else, a
woman...
The last thing Alex saw before he fell unconscious was a blue fist,
heading straight into his face.

Mystique looked at the two bodies lying on the floor and a small grin
appeared on her face. She could kill them right now, but she needed them to get
into the "Friends" headquarters. Of course, she could always go there
with a disguise, but that wasn't enough. There was more in the "friends of
humanity" organization than stupid protests. Much more.

It seemed to Kurt like there's no chance for him to win Rogue's heart,
and nor to Gambit. As much as they
tried, each with his own way, it seemed like she rejected them even more. Kurt
almost gave up, seeing that Rogue doesn't response to his love letters, even
when the signature in them turned from "your secret admirer" to
"Kurt". To the contrary, she spoke to him only on rare occasions. But
Rogue's rejection only made Gambit even more determined to win her heart.
Things went like that until one day (about 2 weeks since Gambit and Kurt came
to the mansion) they both heard Jean Grey's psychic voice in their heads.
Marie wants to see you she told them, don't try anything boys, she
sounds angry.
Finally! Gambit thought to himself. He already imagined what Rogue would
say.
"Oh Gambit! Come an' take me!" The imaginary Rogue said.
"Sure sweet..." He mumbled, not noticing the fact that he's
making a fool of himself in front of Kurt.
Kurt just stared at him. They came to the room where Rogue was, waiting
anxiously. She glared at them.
"What took you so long?" She said.
"I couldn't help myself," Gambit said. "I was thinking
about-"
"Don't bother" Rogue said angrily. I didn't call you so you
for that crap!"
"Crap?" Gambit raised his eyebrow.
"Yes, crap. All your-stupid-wooing! Both of you!"
Gambit's expression didn't change. He faced this kind of talking before,
but Kurt hasn't. Kurt winced.
"I'm sorry... I swore never to get myself in a
relationship..." Rogue said faintly. "You see, my power..." She
stopped and looked at both men.
"Chere, you can't avoid other people for whole your life, you gotta
deal with your ability, not hide because of it, got me?" Remy said.
"Yeah, and if it makes you feel better, my love life was not so
good either." Kurt said. "The only one who wanted to date me was the
world's fattest woman or something like this"
Rogue smiled. "Thanks... I guess. You sure made me feel
better."
Suddenly Remy grasped Rogue's gloved hands. "You don't know how
glad I am chere" He said. Rogue blushed, and kurt just scowled.

Inside a closet in some apartment in New York city...
"Augh, my head hurts..." Alex moaned.
"Maybe because of Mystique's punch? Or maybe you didn't drink
enough?" Jack said.
"Maybe... Let's try to open the door, shall we?"
They both pushed the door as hard as they could with their arms tied,
but didn't made it.
"Locked." Jack groaned.
"Shut up will ya?!" Mystique voice was heard.
Damn mutant, Alex thought, and my head still hurts...
Mystique didn't want to be interrupted, especially not now... She just
found something that used to be very important to her when she was young,
something that brings back old memories....
Mystique opened the notebook and observed what was written in it with
interest.
Dear diary
Today I didn't want to go to school again, but my mom said that I have
to learn something and she can't home-school me since she's too busy at work,
so I went to school. I just hate going to school-everyone's laughing at my
because I look weird, and I DO look weird, but when I'm telling it to my mom
she says I look fine. Like she cares. But there are those kids in school that
say that they don't care how I look. They say i can hang out with them-but to
say the truth, I'm afraid. They're older than me and smoke all the time and drinks
something with horrible smell-i think it's alcoholic. But maybe I should hang
out with them; after all, most people don't like me how I am...
Mystique closed the diary, feeling sadness. She did hang around with
those kids, and become like them. From smoking she went on to drugs, and when
she discovered her morphing ability when she was about 12, She started stealing
things... She was caught only once, when the guy that she morphed to came when
she was about to take some clothing. She couldn't remember it clearly; after
all, it was many years ago.

Will Alex meet his brother? Will Gambit and Rogue unite? Will Mistique
succeed at her mission? Will Kurt start dating with the world's fattest woman
again? Will i stop asking these stupid questions?
And the last part (Mistique and her diary) didn't realy have anything
with the plot. It was just some
add-on. Sorry!
