Lance's POV

I glared at Pietro angrily. "Don't start telling me what to do Pietro. I've known Rogue longer then you have and I think I have more right towards her."

"Like hell you do." He told me. "You have Kitty."

"Kitty and I are over."

"Some how I doubt it. You'll end up breaking Rogue's heart and crawl back to Kitty."

I clenched my fists and ground my teeth to keep from sending a huge tremor towards him. If I did it would probably take down the house and I didn't feel like endangering the others, especially Rogue. Taking a deep breath I raised my eyes to meet his. "Get out of my room."

"No problem, but just remember whose going to get the girl." He said slamming my door as he left.

"Yea, it's going to be me." I said under my breath.

Groaning I walked over to my dresser and got out a small photo album. It had pictures of my two friends and myself from Chicago, Illinois. Sure I guess I missed them, but they didn't understand life of being a mutant. They were normal. Then a couple more pages were of Todd and me when I first joined. Then I came to some pictures of Rogue and me, and some of just Rogue. Usually her solo pics had her putting her hand in front of the camera lens. She never liked having her picture token by herself.

I flipped through it some more and saw a picture of Fred, Todd, and Rogue. She was in the middle making a face while both guys were laughing. The last picture in my album was the five of us together. Before Tabitha came into our lives, before Rogue left us. Mystique insisted on taking it, like a family portrait kind of. We were a family. No matter what anyone would say.

Rogue's POV

I looked out of the window from my old bedroom and sighed. Lance's memories were still going through me like a movie. I saw his family, his friends, and his life. I also noticed he was jealous of all the guys around my life, and Kitty's life. Scott, Kurt, and Pietro. It had some other guys but I couldn't recognize them. I heard a soft knock at the door. "Come in."

Tabitha entered my room. "Are you okay?"

"Yea, ah think so."

"Pietro's rambling on downstairs on how Lance touched your skin. Todd and Freddy are trying to calm him down."

"Ah usually only get small snips of someone's lahfe, but with Lance it was different. Ah saw everythin` he saw an` felt."

"Must be tough getting other people memories in your head."

"At tahmes it is, but if ya ever want ta black mail someone with secrets it's helpful." I said smiling as he smiled back.

"So did you ever touch Blue?"

I laughed. "Yea, he was the first X-Men ah ever touched."

"Anything about me?" She asked as she blew a huge pink bubble and popped it sucking it back into her mouth.

"Sorry." I said shaking her head.

Tabitha shrugged. "It's cool. Of course him liking Amanda is totally wrong."

"Ah know. Ah mean when tha professor found out dat she knew Kurt was a mutant ah thought he was going ta get seriously mad."

"Did he?"

"No, he was rather calm `bout it. He said we all need someone in our lives dat's normal an` knows our secrets."

"But of course if anyone else was to tell some baldy would go ballistic."

"Yea ah know."

Peitro's POV

"Dude calm down." Fred told me.

"HowcanIcalmdownifthatdumbassupstairsistryingtostealmygirl?" I asked quickly. I knew it confused the Fred and Todd since they weren't too bright on catching on things quickly like Rogue, Tabitha, and the dumb ass upstairs was, but could you really blame me for being so pissed off?

"Maybe you could get her back, yo." Todd suggested.

"How?"

"Get her some flowers."

"Yeaandiftheytouchherskinthey'llwritheranddie." I said.

"He didn't say that had to be to real, yo."

I smiled at that suggestion. "Good idea."

Okay so I was calming down. I didn't need to go upstairs all pissed off and talking like a speed demon in front of Rogue. I'd scare her off. Well, I've done it that first day I showed up at the Brotherhood house. I was still upset about having to do jail time because of Daniels and she was the only one who could calm me down. Well that and she threatened to take her glove off, but that's beside the point.

I walked towards the door and opened it. I got blown backwards by a strong wind. "What the hell?" Todd asked looking with Fred.

It was the X-Geeks. "Where is she?" Cyclops had asked angrily.

"Who?" Fred asked.

"Rogue." Wolverine said standing next to Cyclops.

"Didn't know we had invited guests for a party." Tabitha said coming down the stairs with Rogue and Lance behind her.

"I suggest you leave." Lance told them.

"Not without Rogue."

"Than we'll do this tha hard way." Rogue said stepping in front of us.

"Um Rogue..." I started to say when I looked at her. She still had some of Lance's powers. She sent a small tremor towards the X-Geeks, which caused them to move, but not fall.

"Stripes you don't know what you're doing." Wolverine told her.

"Ah think ah do."

"Rogue you don't belong with them." Nightcrawler said.

"An` if ah don` belong with them, than whom do ah belong with?"

"Us." Spyke told her.

She shook her head. "Ah moved on. Ah'm not part of tha Z-Men any more an` nothin` ya can say will change dat."

"Rogue if you'll just listen to us." Cyclops went to move towards her, but Wolverine put his hand on her shoulder.

"Leave her be." He said. "I have a feeling some of the reason she returned is you kids fault."

"We like didn't mean it though." Shadowcat said.

"Ah think Jean claims ta differ on dat."

I got to my feet and moved next to Rogue and noticed the others had followed my direction and put my arm around her shoulder. "Why don't you guys get off our property huh?"

"This isn't over Maximoff." Spyke told me angrily.

"No it's just the beginning, Daniels."
