What is going on Rogue can you here me? Storm shouted down the intercom

But to no avail, the only noise that could be herd on the other end was the crackling on the intercom when even that went dead.

"Do something someone!"

As the group watched there Team-mate/friend/daughter/there love with little more to do then panic they saw the module become out of control and spiralled millions of miles down to Earth, Until it was clean out of anyone's site.

"What happened" Screamed Mistique as she turned behind her staring at Bishop, who was supposed to be keeping an eye on Rogue to make sure everything went smoothly

"I don't know. Everything was fine and then one of the engines on the module backfiered, everything was instantaneous there was no way that any of us could have done anything, or predicted…" Bishop replied still steering out at the void in front of him, this was not the first time he had lost a team-mate but he hoped the lat time would be just that the last.

"No that can not be I checked that module before it left everything was fine," Christof said to the group "Someone must have tampered with it somehow"

"Treachery you mean, why would anyone want to get rid of Rogue?" Storm asked

"Yes, Why Raven? You no all about this ship, it would have been easy with your morphing to get into the hanger and cause some damage. Get Rogue out of the way" Alkia shouted making his accusations heard all over the room.

"And why Alkia would I do that? I have no motive, she is my Daughter, and as I recall you also have great knowledge of this vessel" Mistique sternly replied through gritted teeth.

"Don't be ridiculous Mistique, Alkia would never do that" Christof chirped

"Oh really Christof, How little you really know about your brother." Mistique said to Christof but still looking squarely in the face at Alkia.

"Enough I have had enough of this childish behaviour. In stead of standing here arguing amongst ourselves I say we do something to rectify this situation" Storm shouted at the group.

"What is there to do, Rogue is long gone," Bishop said quieter then usual

"Can we go after her Storm?" inquired him?

"Negative. According to this we wouldn't get to her in time."

There was a long drawn out silence. No body knew what to say or how to approach the situation. Storm noticed that Wolverine had not spoken a word in all of the commotion.

"What do you say we do Logan?" there was no reply. His eyes were glazed over and were looking into the vortex of space. He had found a part of his past and future and lost all in the space of a few moments.

"At least she is invulnerable, she will survive the crash, and She's strong right?" Christof said almost as a question like a little bewildered child.

There was silence

"Her powers have been weakened"

Wolverine spoke up and alerting the group. Although Rogue had specifically told him not to tell anyone but in this situation it was an exception they had to know all of it

"Weakened how? If you knew this then why did you let her go out there you fool!" Mistique shouted at him

"Look she wasn't that bad her powers are depleting but not that much and anyway you ever tried telling the girl not to do something, she would have done it anyway" Logan replied clenching his teeth. Right now he was ready to slice and dice someone Mistique was looking more and more like a worthy victim.

"Why are they depleting Logan? I have felt recently Rogue and you have been hiding. Something. Now I want to know the truth." Storm stated calmly trying to calm everyone by her voice.

"She's pregnant"

There were gasps simultaneously felt along the room

"From the blood test that I took, for some reason it is affecting her. She is mutating. Her original power of absorbs ion is somehow weakening in strength it is only a matter of time before it goes all together." Logan said after releasing a breath that he did not know he was even holding.

"How would this affect her invulnerability?" Bishop asked

"Simple. A part of her original power is to control and lock all of the powers that she borrows into her head including carols invulnerability. As Rogues original power is depleting it's letting the powers go. To summaries kiddies she is losing them"

"I am sad, in another time and place this would be a good moment but now…" Ororo said with her head looking downwards.

"Ro it's not all bad. With this slow release of her powers. She has a better chance of controlling them. The problem is she doesn't know it yet," Wolverine said walking over to his friend of years putting his hand on her shoulder for support.

More silence

"But what I don't understand is why wouldn't rogue tell me?" Alkia asked like a little bewildered child

"Why the hell would she Alkia. She didn't tell any of us except for daddy over there're" Mystique butted in

"What do we do now?" Christof asked changing the subject. Everyone looked at him it was a hard choice to make either go to earth or try to find rogue or go on and fight another battle to save the universe.

"I don't see that we have much choice, WE have to go on a take the orb that Malikan still has." Ororo said. It was times like these when she hated being one of the leaders of the x-men but she knew it was what Rogue would have wanted them to do.

"No way, how can you even suggest such a thing?" Mystique said tacking her gaze of Alkia and onto

"Bishop set a coarse hyper time for our destination" Ororo ordered

"Done" bishop replied with a heavy heart.

When the group felt there bodies shift with the extremely fast movement of the ship.

"Hold on this isn't just your decision to make, I agree with Mystique we have to go back and look for Rogue" Logan said pulling Storm around to face him now his hand was not there for support. Storm Shufed Logan back away from her

"It makes sense, if we don't go after Malikan then all of the world will perish either way rogue…"

"Don't you say it storm!" Logan growled stalking over to her

"We can get in contact with Xavier and the rest of the x-men let them find her." Storm said lowering her vice a little to try and calm the situation down before there was a show down.

"I say we put it to a vote" Christof inerupted"All those that say we find Malikan raise your hand…Storm, Bishop and I, then it is a tie."

Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep

"What again" Mystique moaned "Great driving Bishop"

"They aren't meteorites this time we are under attack!" Alkia shouted looking at the control panel.

"It seems fate has chosen for us… to attack positions!!" Storm shouted across the room not that she needs to, all of the group were expertly trained and they knew what was needed to be done.
