Chapter 3: No!! It Can't Be

Rogue stared at Mystique. Her words had hit her hard. Almost all her life, she had been searching for her birth mother and here was her enemy, telling her that she was related to the enemy. Rogue: " No. It ain't right, this can't be." Mystique looks deeply into Rogue's eyes; passionate with love. Mystique: "I know it may be much to handle, but it is the truth. Your father is the man you are fighting against. His name, Magneto." Rogue is now more paranoid then ever. " No, NO! It can't be! Don't lie to me! This ain't a joke!" But Mystique still has that look in her eyes that she can only get when someone is hurting. Mystique: " Rogue, if you truly don't believe me, then touch my hand. My memories will give you all the proof you need." Mystique raises her hands as she allows Rogue to touch it. Rogue reaches out and connects with Mystique. Seconds later, memories rush to Rogue's head.

~-~Flashback~-~

From Mystique's eye of view, Rogue can see a cozy little cabin somewhere hidden. Magneto in regular clothes walks over to her and gives her a passionate kiss. Rogue even feels the love that they are showing each other.

FLASH. This is another place in Mystique's life. She is in a scientist's lab of some sort. Experiments of all kind hang from the walls as Magneto walks in. Magneto: " Mystique, relax. Giving birth is a painful ordeal. Now now, please don't be angry with me." Mystique groans in pain. Mystique: " How can you say that? You want to kill my child. OUR CHILD." Magneto: " I am only doing this because I am the most powerful mutant in the world. I cannot have some child become stronger than me. If this child lives, then it will have mutant powers the world has never seen. The child will be unstoppable."

FLASH. From Mystique's point of view, she is holding a plump little baby somewhere in the woods. Magneto is nowhere in sight as Mystique cuddles her newborn baby. Mystique grabs out a cell phone and calls an old friend.

~-~End Flashback~-~

Rogue backs up as Mystique falls to the floor unconscious. Rogue: " Oh gawd, I can't believe it. This ain't right. Magneto and Mystique are my parents? No." Rogue looks around. She is in a huge laboratory with gadgets of all kinds. She finds an exit but before she can leave, Shane walks in. Shane: " Rogue? What are you doing here?" Rogue turns around to see Shane. Rogue: " I-I don't know. I just want to go okay? Just let me be by myself for a while. I'll be all right." Rogue runs off as Shane laughs quietly. " Run Rogue, run. For when I catch you, you won't know what hit you."

Kurt and Kitty try to revive Jean and the Professor Xavier when Kurt spots Rogue running like a mad maniac. Kurt: " Hey look, it is Rogue!" Kurt pops right in front of her accidentally tripping Rogue and causing her to land on Kurt. Rogue: " Kurt, what is your problem!?!?" Kurt: " I was about to ask you the same thing. Why did you touch the Professor and Jean?" Rogue: " What are you talking about? I don't remember doing anything. Just leave me alone." Rogue looks at Kurt and his furry blue skin. "Kurt," says Rogue, " You know that Mystique is your mother right? She's mine too. I just found out." Kurt is shocked. " Really," asks Kurt, " Wow. Do you know who my father is? So we are related huh? Cool!" Rogue: " How can this be cool? My father is Magneto and Mystique is my mother. My worst enemies are my parents!" Rogue starts walking away until Kurt shouts out. " I know it is hard to understand! I go through the same thing you know! Just let me know if you want to talk, your little brother is always going to be there for you!!"

Rogue is sitting on the ledge of a bridge. This place is very familiar to Rogue as she comes here every time she has something she has to deal with. Why me? I haven't done anything wrong. My life just started to make sense until now. So what am I going to do? Fight my parents during the weekdays and visit them on the weekends? Rogue's mind is filled with thoughts and worries. She starts to feel a headache coming on. Oh gawd, great. Now I have problems and a headache. Rogue stands up and starts walking away until she suddenly remembers something. " Oh my god! Scott is still at the manor! I gotta get there!" Rogue starts running as the manor gets closer and closer.

Rogue enters the manor as she sees everything is a reck. Pieces of concrete lie everywhere as Magneto and his unstoppable gang of mutants lie inside. Rogue puts on her uniform as she radio calls her team members. Rogue: " Hello? This is Rogue. Is anyone there?" " Yeah, this is Kitty. What's up?" " Not what's up, what's down. A lot of concrete and rubble. We have to rescues the mutants under that Konfuzed guy's control." " Right. As soon as the Professor and Jean's up, we'll get there. Try to control things before we get there." Rogue hangs up as she faces the huge mansion. " Here goes nothin'."

Professor Xavier: " What? Rogue is going against an army of mutants by herself?" Kitty: " Um, not exactly like that. She's going to pretend she's still under that mutant's control and just lay low. I told her we're coming to help her out as soon as you and Jean are up and ready." Jean: " I just want to know why she knocked us out. I mean it. She could have at least tried to fight against the mind control thing; she didn't even resist it. It was like she wanted to turn against us." Kurt speaks up, " Hey, hey. Lay low on Rogue okay? I'm not sure but I think she might be my sister." Xavier: " What? When did this happen?" Kurt: " I'll tell you everything let's just save the mutants first okay? I want Rogue alive so she can tell you herself." Kurt uses his powers and transports everyone to the Xavier Institute.

Rogue bursts through the door as Magneto faces her. Magneto: " Where have you been? Do you realize you missed out on the re grouping? Now I have to find the swat for you." Rogue: " How can you talk like that to me? From what I here, you are my father." Magneto backs up, " What? She told you? What nerve. So what? That doesn't change anything. So have your powers grown yet?" " Grown? What do you mean? I don't think my powers can even grow." " How old are you? They should have generated themselves by sixteen." Rogue: " I'm sixteen, what are you talking about? You ain't making no sense. What kind of powers?" Magneto: " Ones that can surpass any mutant's. You will be able to-" Magneto clenches his head as Xavier and the others barge in. Professor Xavier: " End this now Magneto, it's over." Magneto falls to the ground as he uses his powers and bars of metal go flying and wrap themselves between the Professor. Magneto stumbles away as the Professor, Kitty, Jean, and Kurt try to pry the metal bars away.
