Changes Part 6

By Dragonseizer

It was pouring down with rain, by the time Rogue made her way to the Avengers mansion. As she stepped up to the large steps leading to the front door. Rogue couldn't help but feel the guilt flooding back to her. For stealing Carol Danvers powers back when she was a youth. She used to live here once. These were her friends. Rogue had never been this close to the Avengers mansion before yet alone go in it. Sure she had fought with them before, but this was totally different she would have to look at them in the eye now.

Knock, Knock, Knock. Rogue knew the Avengers would already know of her presence. Still, the last thing she wanted to do was make them think, she had become violent again.  The door slowly opened to reveal Forge staring at her, from the other side of the door.

"Can we help you?" he asked trying to look under the hood that covered the visitors face. Although the sensors picked him or her up, Wanda was having a great deal of trouble in trying to find who he or she was.

Rogue slowly let her hood down and looked face to face, at a very startled Forge.

"I need to talk to my mother."

***********************************************************************************************

Mystique was sitting in her room writing in her diary. She never used to keep a diary that was always Destiny's area. With all of the changes that had happened, being the leader of the Brotherhood to, being held against her will and having to fight with the Avengers. Even she had to talk to someone, although Mystique would never let anyone know that. Mystique let the sound of the classical music envelope her senses as she thought about her life. It wasn't that bad here when she came to think about it at least they didn't throw her in a cell like she would have done to them if the tables were turned. And Forge there was something about him. Sometimes she even felt as if she was proud of what she was doing when a battle was won. And that scarred her Raven Darkholm also known as Mystigue was getting weak and that only meant one thing. She had to get out of here and now.

Knock, knock "Mystique you have a visitor" Forge shouted at the other side of her bedroom door

" tell them to come back later, I am busy!" She cried back. Who exactly do theses people think she is for crying out loud at that moment Mystique's thoughts were stopped when the door was opened slowly? As Mystque started to pounce on the intruder and make them pay for interrupting her. Mystique saw her daughter, standing stock still in the doorway. They looked into each other's eyes for a moment. when Rogue spoke.

"Mama something has happened I… we need your help."

"Since when have you needed my help, Rogue, I believe you have, again forgotten were your loyalty's lie." Mystique said as she turned around, and  hid the diary in one of her draws in her desk.

"Its Malikan Mama he has the orb." Raven looked up at her. Rogue saw the shock and hatred in her eyes

"Mama we cant do this without you. We have to get that orb back before it is to late"

"We… you mean you and Alkia?… Are you made Rogue you cant trust him, don't you remember what he did to the brotherhood what he did to you!" She said resisting the urge to find that son of a bitch and punch the living daylight's out.

"You know why. The orb, mother I need you to come with us to find it. I have already told Forge and the rest of the Avengers.  They say, as long as Wolverine, storm and Bishop are with us then you can come."

Mystique thought to herself  this is the chance I have been waiting for. I can just say yes and i could get out of here but then who was going to look after her daughter, from that scum bucket and the threat he posed on her, She had to do it, if not for Her sake but for Irene's as well.

"Fine ill get myself packed…" Mystique turned around to get her bag and stated packing. She looked over to her daughter as she carried on the discussion.

"What do those three X-geeks have to do with this anyway Rogue?"

"They are coming with us mama. they know everything" Rogue said looking up at her.

"Really everything?" Raven looked at her daughter with humour in her eyes.

In the monitoring room at the Avengers mansion.

 the avengers that were gathered were watching the monitors. Mystique and Rogue were once terrorists together. Although Rogue had now earned herself to be a well-respected member of the X-men, Raven had not. Security had to be tight.

"So Rogue was telling the truth , I wonder what this orb business is about.?"

" Don't know Wanda. But if Wolverine and the others are in on it, it can't be an act against the X-men or us. Who knows maybe this little mission of there's will help Raven, Maybe rogues reformed behaviour will rub of on her…  Or maybe not."

Forge chirped trying to be humours. Really, although he vowed never tell the others he wasn't so sure he wanted Raven to go at all.

At the hanger bay in the underground base of operations for the orb

"Were are they? Why is this taking them so long? " Stomped Alkia. Up and down the base. They had already packed the ship they had in the basement, for just this purpose and he was getting impatient.

"Don't get your knickers in a twist Alkia were here. Glad you're so worried about me " Raven said, smiling to herself as they walked in the hanger. Rogue looked at the both of them and rolled her eyes This is going to be a long trip Rogue thought to herself as she got on the plane.

"Can we get out of here now we have wasted enough time as it is" Rogue yelled at all of them over the intercom, as she sat herself down in one of the pilot seats in the large ship. What is it with everyone dordling all of a sudden?

"Rogue" Startled, Rogue turned around and saw Wolverine staring at her in her face

"I think you should reconsider going especially in your…condition" Rogue remembered, her condition how could she have forgotten it. I guess with all of the excitement Rogue thought to herself.

"You know I have to Wolvy " she replied as Mystique and the others came into the control room, prepping the ship for launch

"And anyway " rogue carried on "With my invulnerability and you protecting me what can go wrong?"
