Disclaimer: I have been wishing but I still don't own the X-Men. Maybe one
day though. While I'm daydreaming for things I cannot have I also want a
pony.

The first thing Rogue noticed when she woke up was that her shoulder hurt. That brought her back down memory lane to what had happened. She slowly sat up and looked around. She was in a cell sitting on a cot that was in the back corner. "Damn" she said quietly to herself. After all her running she was finally caught. It had to happen sooner or later, she thought. However she felt sort of relived that she didn't have to run anymore.
The second thing she noticed was that her shoulder hurt like hell. However it had been bandaged up. She now realized that she was wearing a tank top and that her shoulder was wrapped in gauze. She desperately looked around the cell to find something to cover her deadly skin. However, she could find neither her coat or gloves. She put her arms around herself. She had to figure a way out of here. Standing up she walked to the front of the cell and looked out through the bars. She may not know a way out of here but one of the mutants in her head sure would. She laughed softly to herself and started to look through the memories of the mutant known as Cyclopes. She quickly went through his memories ignoring the personal ones. All she wanted was a way out. Not a life story. She was in the lower levels of some sort of institute. She was in the prison room. A smirk appeared on the Rogue's face. She now had an entire map of the institute in her head. But she didn't just have the map of the main levels. She also had a map of the airshafts that were in the ceilings and walls. Looking up she saw a grate. Moving the bed under it she was able to reach up and remove it. Without a second thought she climbed into the maze of the airshaft.

"It's so upsetting when a mutant so young resorts to violence," Xavier said looking around at the faces around him. He was holding a meeting with Scott, Jean. Logan, Ororo, and Hank. They were deciding what to do with the Rogue. "It doesn't matter how old she is." Logan grunted. "He's right. Look at this list" Scott held up a list of Rogue's victims. "That is six people she has touched and nearly killed, not including any of us. One was in a coma for three weeks." "Yes" Xavier nodded, "I have tried to read her mind but she has impressive mind blocks. Her fighting skills are also very advanced. Add that to her mutant powers and she's very impressive." He sighed, not sure what to do. "She's out!" Logan said suddenly. He ran out of the room yelling back to the other, "Move! She's out of the cell!" Trusting in the Wolverine's enhanced senses they quickly followed him out if the room.

Rogue quietly crawled through the airshafts till she reached a fork. Taking a moment to look though the memories she turned left. The right led to a place called the danger room. Not a place she wanted to end up in. After a few more minutes she found a grate and jumped out. She took a moment to catch her breath before moving on. She new right where she was. On the main floor of the institute. She turned a corner and was suddenly thrown to the floor. She quickly got up to see that it was the Wolverine that had attacked her. The two started circling each other, seeing who would make the first move. Wolverine was a better and stronger fighter and Rogue new it. However she was not the weak girl they had met in New York. Her arm still hurt but she had had rest and was ready to fight. Plus she had much more skin showing then usual. She didn't want to use her power but felt she had know other choice. Wolverine let out his claws and tried to slash out at Rogue. She quickly dodged it happy to see that she was faster then he. He kicked his leg out to tired to trip her but Rogue once again jumped out of the way. They again circled around each other, Wolverine growling and Rogue glaring as only the Rogue could. The other mutants rounded the corner but stopped when they saw the two pacing around each other. Wolverine growled at them and they new that he wanted to finish this fight. They watched from a distance ready to step in if Wolverine fell. He slashed out with both his claws this time. Rogue dodged the first one but the second one hit her, ripping out the stitches in her injured shoulder. Rogue winced but still was not ready to give up. She faked that she wanted to surrender, falling to her knees and gasping. Wolverine stepped in to give the final blow and declare victory when Rogue suddenly reached out with her bare hand and grabbed him. Wolverine was in shock. This girl who couldn't be older then sixteen had tricked him. He was loosing consciousness and could do nothing to stop it. Rogue stood up and looked at the other mutants, ready to fight. Her arm was covered in blood but the gash was fading away. Cyclopes ran at her first. He touched his visor and a red laser beam shot at Rogue. She dodged it and slashed at him with the claws that had popped out of her knuckles. Cyclopes was more shocked then hurt. Rogue on the other hand was feeling pretty good. Her senses had become very sensitive. The gash in her shoulder was gone, and she know longer had to us her powers since she now had metal claws to fight with. And to add everything on top of it she had the Wolverine's training in her head. "This must stop!" Storm had had enough. This girl had hurt many people and it was time she were stopped. Wolverine had been foolish to have fought this girl alone. Not only was she a powerful mutant but she was smart to. "Well", Storm thought to herself "Maybe there was a better idea then just overpowering the Rogue." To everyone else she said, "Jean hold her still. Don't let her move!" Understanding what Storm was saying Jean concentrated and using her telekinesis she lifted the Rogue into the air and pinned her arms to her side. Caught completely off guard Rogue was helpless. All she could do was scream while Beast tied her clawed hands behind her back.
