"Jean! Jean!" Rogue called as she chased the other girl down the hall later
on that night.
"What?"
"Look, I think I know how you-know who is going to get you-know-who to do you-know-what." Jean raised an eyebrow.
"Well?"
"If she- you-know-who kidnaps somebody close to you-know-who, to, you know, hold them hostage, he'd do it!"
"Mmm, good point."
"So, who's closest to him?"
"Um, I guess Kurt, I mean, they share a room, they're probably pretty close."
"Should we watch him?"
"No, not unless he disappears or something..." Rogue chuckled.
"Ok, well, I gott go. Just thought I'd let you know!"
Jean watched as Rogue tore down the hall. She noticed the girl looked excited, but ignored it as Scott called her name.

Kurt sighed and sat down on the foot of Gambit's bed.
"Hang in there Remy, we're coming.."
"Yo, Kurt.." He looked up as Rogue walked in. "Hey, don't beat yourself up just yet, we've got good news!"
"Oh!?" She sat down next to him. "What is it?"
"Well, the navy mobilized today, they're searching for the missile. And, Professor X has sent Storm and Wolverine to check Mystique's old hideouts for possible clues."
"That's great!"
"Yeah!"
"Rogue," The two looked up as Alex peered in.
"What?"
"Beast needs your help with something," Rogue sighed and stood as Alex walked off.
"Well," She said. "Cheer up Kurt, we'll get him back."
Kurt nodded and flopped back into Gambit's bed as Rogue left. He sighed.
So Professor X had sent Storm and Wolverine out to scout. What could they possibly hope to find? Mystique was too smart to stay in a place she knew the X-men knew about. And the navy, what were they trying to prove? Unless the missile had a tracking device, (which it probably didn't because if it did, they would've found it already), what were they going to do? First of all they had no idea where to look, and secondly, if they did, how would they find it? Dogs? Metal detectors? Kurt was not eased at all by Rogue's so called, 'good news'.
"Kurt! Kurt!" He looked up. "Kurt, you've got to come quick!"
"Rogue?" He mumbled, confused as she entered the room. "I thought you had to go help Beast?" He stood slowly.
"He, he fixed it. C'mon! You've gotta help!" She reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Ok! Ok!" He let her drag him down the hall, and only when they were out in the parking lot, did he make the connection.
Rogue wouldn't have had time to have gone from his room, to Beast's, and back in that short period of time. Not even if she ran. And she was holding onto his bare arm with her bare hands.
"Myst-!"
"Shh!" She reached out and gave him a hard shove into an awaiting, parked white van. He was quickly pulled in by the thin hands of Pyro, and hit over the head by one of the Blob's massive fists.
Mystique climbed into the driver's seat, and tore off.
"What?"
"Look, I think I know how you-know who is going to get you-know-who to do you-know-what." Jean raised an eyebrow.
"Well?"
"If she- you-know-who kidnaps somebody close to you-know-who, to, you know, hold them hostage, he'd do it!"
"Mmm, good point."
"So, who's closest to him?"
"Um, I guess Kurt, I mean, they share a room, they're probably pretty close."

"No, not unless he disappears or something..." Rogue chuckled.
"Ok, well, I gott go. Just thought I'd let you know!"
