Rogue walked down the dark alleys of New York. She was cold, dirty and hungry. However on the upside she had only run into the FOH once this month. Just as her thoughts started to turn positive it started to snow. "Damn" she muttered, "When did my life get so messed up?" She walked to the end of the ally and found a small over hang on the side of one of the crumbling buildings. Sitting down under it she decided to wait out the snow there.
The X-men were all piling into the van. They had been planning this trip to New York for a long time. No way in hell was some snow going to stop them. Besides it wasn't even coming down that hard. Just as they were about to drive off Xavier stopped them. "Now I want you to be on your best behavior.." He went on for about five minutes. Kitty started getting fidgety at the boring speech and Scott had to elbow her to stay still. "And remember to keep your eyes out for that mutant. She seems dangerous. After all she did put someone in the hospital" Xavier smiled "And have fun." With that they left for New York.
Once there they split into groups. Jean and Kitty went one way planning to go shopping. Scott, Kurt, and Even who were not interested in shopping what so ever went the other way. Logan who had been forced to drive them all in the first place went his own way. There was no way he would waste the day hanging around a bunch of kids.
Logan went to go find a bar. He had to admit, even if he didn't like it, that he did like most of the kids at the institute. But after that car ride know matter how much he liked the kids, he needed a drink. Being Logan the bar he picked out was in what most people would call "the bad part of the city". The bar was run down but with out a second glance he walked in and ordered a drink.
At sun down Logan left the bar leaving behind several knocked out punks. He had to admit to himself that the day hadn't been as bad as he thought it would be. He had had a few good fights and the beer wasn't that bad either. But now it was time to go meet the kiddies. However before he got far he saw a figure in a green trench coat walk quickly down one of the alleys. He instantly new it was the mutant he had been warned about. Thinking he could easily take her down he called Jean telepathically to get the car and meet him were he was. By the time they got there the mutant would already be at his mercy.
Rogue saw the man turn down the ally after her. She picked up her speed only to reach a dead end. She turned to face the man. Logan smirked at her. He had her trapped. Though he couldn't see her face to see her expression he new what she was feeling. He could smell it on her. Fear. However he was impressed with her. This mutant wanted to fight. Believing he had the upper hand he decided to allow her to make the first move.
Rogue hated using her powers. So she decided to face this man with out them first. She made a move but it was easily blocked. Logan grabbed her arm and threw her against the wall. She slammed against it knocking over a few trashcans. Rogue was stunned but not beaten. She lay were she was pretending to be unconscious. Logan slowly walked up to the still form. He smiled to himself and bent down to pick her up when he received a kick to the balls. Before he could react Rogue knocked his feet out from under him.
Now was her chance to escape. She turned and ran down to the opening of the ally. But before she made it half way she heard voices. "Logan, you there?" Logan growled an answer. With that the other X-men appeared. Rogue was trapped. She backed up against the wall as the other surrounded her. She was horribly out numbered but she would not give up with out a fight. She slowly took off one of her gloves revealing a pale hand. Cyclopes made the first move, shooting one of his beams at her. Rogue turned, the shot missing her. With that the battle began.
Cyclopes was closest. Rogue dived out of the way of another red blast and before he new what hit him Rogue's hand was on his face. Cyclopes collapsed. The others were shocked. It was one mutant against all of them and all ready one of them was down. A Red glow appeared in the hood of the mutant's trench coat. Wolverine let out his claws and attacked. But before he could touch her he was hit with Scott's powers. Knightcrawler ported over to pounce on her. But the pale hand touched him and he to was out of the fight. Jean used her TK and Rogue went slamming into the wall. Rogue recovered quickly and shot Scott's power at Shadowcat who easily phased through it. Spyke then got into the fight by throwing a few sharp spikes at her. However Rogue easily shot them out of the air. Jean once again used her TK to throw her against the wall. Wolverine was advancing on her. She had put up a good fight but she was out numbered. Though they couldn't see her face she glared at the remaining X-men. "Never" she said, "Mess with the Rogue." And with that she ported away.
