*Notes*

-I do not own x-men evolution or it's characters in any way, shape or form

-'Day of Reckoning' was an awesome way to end season 2!! Only problem I have is season 3 won't air for a few months and a lot of things are left in the open. Since I don't know what will happen, my fic and season 3 will probably be very far off from each other. Hopefully I will do this fic and the aftermath of 'Reckoning' some justice. If not, I will most likely give this up, start something new, and then just pick this one back up when season 3 starts. You won't see 'Reckoning' just yet, but it's coming very soon.

-This is my own personal fanfic; please don't re-post it as your own… thx

Dear Diary,

Rogue finally showed up at 6 am. She looked like hell frozen over. It looked like she had been crying the whole time she was gone, but I didn't say anything to her. I don't think I've ever seen or heard about Rogue crying. She just doesn't do that sort of thing. The only thing she said was we needed to talk to the Professor and I agreed. Then she laid down and I let her sleep for a short while.

We got our chance to talk to the Professor after breakfast. He told us all the information he knew about Wanda, which confirmed what Lance had told me earlier this morning. Apparently the Professor had numerous meetings with Wanda while she was locked up in the asylum. He confessed that he knew she had escaped and was sorry he didn't tell us about it before we encountered her at the mall with the Brotherhood. The Professor explained that Wanda's father, Eric (or Magneto as we all know him), had placed her in the asylum because she was out of control. Magneto and Pietro, Wanda's brother, stood by and watched as Wanda was locked away and forgotten. She grew even more bitter and angry as the years went on and the Professor just couldn't get thru to her. He said revenge was the only thing her fragile mind could think about.

Then he explained that Mystique had gotten to her, which floored everyone like it did when Lance told me. We all asked what we could do and the Professor said very sadly that he doesn't think anything else can be done. He warned us that this was just the beginning and things were only going to get worse so we must double our efforts in training to be prepared. He said he also felt Magneto's presence for a brief second so we really must be prepared. We were all dismissed shortly after and a training session was set for later in the afternoon.

We did ok in training session but I think we were all worn out physically and mentally from last night's battle. Right after training session ended, Logan left to try and track Magneto down. I hope he will be alright.

Rogue finally opened up to me after dinner. She told me she had spent the night sitting on the Bayville football field gathering her thoughts. She confessed that she cried, the second time in her life. The first time had been when her powers manifested and she put a boy named Cody in a coma.

She said she felt so helpless and disappointed and I made sure she knew she had someone there for her. I told her that she's my best friend and that I love her so much. She said she never had a 'best friend' before and I could have sworn she was going to cry again. She hugged me in her careful way and whispered, "you're mah best friend and mah lil' sister. Ahm always here for ya, always."

I would be so lost in this world without her. Honestly.

Well Diary, she's finally sleeping peacefully. I wanted to stay up and make sure she got to sleep ok. Now it's my turn. I'm praying for a dreamless sleep tonight… the past day or so has been a living nightmare.
