Logan strolled into the mansion court deciding how he was going to go about this. Rogue had told him that she wanted him to tell the rest of the x-men. I guess the news hadn't quite sunk in yet. If that Cajun was here right now… Logan thought, just as he was rudely interrupted by a basketball bouncing of his chest.
"What took you so long Logan? I was beginning to get rather worried about you"
The sun was in Logan's eyes as he looked up. it was clear who was talking to him.
"Ororo, yeah I had to go some place" He replied while picking up the ball and walking to his friends. That had stopped there game on the court.
"Is there anything a matter Logan?" She asked, concerned as always, then that was storm for you always asking other people about there feelings, even though she could not express hers, Or chance that her powers to manipulate the weather would become totally out of control.
Everyone that was present had started to walk towards him. wondering why this usually straight to the point guy was being quite silent.
"What's up? Where's Rogue? I thought you said when you comed us, she would be down here. When the two of you got through with Hank" Bishop spoke as Logan handed him the ball.
"And here I am!" Shouted Rogue coming out behind them.
"Rogue, well it is good to see you out an about, I was beginning to think that you were a vampire the way that you were going" Storm said happily, it was true, but she still felt that another one of her great friends should be here as well.
"So we going to play or what?" She said getting into position on Storms side.
"You sure you want to be doing this girl." Logan said as he passed her way.
"I changed my mind ok, I don't want anyone else to know, not until I make up my mind, so keep it shut alright." Rogue told him in quite a harsh voice as a warning to back down
Logan took the hint. Rogue was well known for her temper tantrum fits and there was no way that he was going, to get in the way of one.
10 minutes later the game was still going on. Although it was a short amount of time, doing anything against a member of the x-men was bound to break a sweat. At that very moment a genius pass was made. From Storm to Rogue, with the end result of Rogue getting the ball in the hoop for the first time in the game.
"That is one for the girls and none for the boys. Once again we are the champions oh yes!!!" Cried Rogue running up to Logan just to rub it in a little.
"I believe that is $10 you owe me my friend" Storm cried over her shoulder to Bishop with a pout on her face holding out her hand.
"I think you would find, weather witch that the game is not yet over", Bishop replied. All four of them began to laugh. It had been a long time since they had done anything together, that did not involve fighting.
At the entrance of the Xavier institute for higher learning
A tall man with dark hair and quite lanky looking was banging on the gates, shouting down the intercom for someone to open them up.
"What is all the racket about, Can I help you?" Jean asked in the politest way she knew how, especially with the havoc that this man was causing on her already painful headache.
"You can open the door that's what you can do. I am here to see someone. I was told that she was here!" he screamed.
"May I ask, who you are looking for?" This person looked like trouble and the mansion did not need that not now. Jean thought to herself.
"Rogue. We were friends a little while back. Don't just stand their woman. open the door…. This is important you know"
"Fine" Jean calmly walked up to the gate. Her husband at her back, also wondering what all of the commotion was about
As soon as the gate opened the man legged it to the mansion. He knew that the two strangers were chasing after him but that was not his concern right now he had to find her. God can this place get any bigger he thought as he ran further, Eyes rapidly searching the whole area. Out of the blue there she was sitting on a bench with a Feral Man having a conversation. He wasted no time, and rushed over to her as fast as his legs could carry him.
"Rogue", he breathed heavy in and out trying to catch his breath.
"What are you doing here" She said startled as she carefully rose from her seat looking at the visitors face better. She hadn't seen him in years.
All of a sudden, he stuck an envelope into her hands.
"Alkia told me to give this to you. It is urgent that you open it at once".
A little too late did he say this as Rogue had the envelope already torn open eagerly. Rogue stared at the papers in disbelieve reading the words over and over again, shuffling them around and trying to take a closer look at the pictures that was there.
By this time, Scot and Jean had joined the small but growing group around her.
Rogue looked up at the boy that had delivered the envelope.
"When", she said with her expressionless face. The boy looked at her, he didn't say a word. Rogue, much to everyone's' dismay picked the boy of the ground by his neck, almost strangling him. In a much more forceful and aggressive tone she asked her question again.
"WHEN."
