DISCLAIMER:
Welcome to the disclaimer, thats right the disclaimer. Disclaiming once again for all that NO I do not own the
X-men, they belong to brilliant minds at Marvel Comics. Also no profit is being made off this story. Xmen Evolution belongs to Warner Brother's Entertainment...

AUTHOR'S NOTE: (Plz..READ..READ!)
This is a really old fic that I wrote before there was a category for "Xmen Evolution Category" I have cleaned up a bit and posted under the Xmen Evolution section. If you havent seen the show yet it's on Kids WB Sat. @ 11:30am. Its not nearly as good as the original animated series, but it's not thatbad so I suggest you check it out. If you have seen it, you'll probably enjoy, understand, and be able to visualize this fic.more. However, note that my story isn't always true to the show, its more of my own spinoff on the X-men in highschool. Goto http://evolution.marvel.com/ to see pics., once again it will help you visualize, some of them are quite different from their comic book form.

*PROLOGUE*

Its been about 5 months since Rogues powers first manifested at a highschool dance in her home town of Caldecotte, Mississippi. About 5 months from her first encounter with the X-men and the Brotherhood. Only days after that first encounter Rogue was sen tby her foster mother to Bayville High in New York. Rogue had always been sorta a loner, sure she could put on a party face and socialize just like the best of them, but behind the mask she had always felt more comfortable by herself. Even before discovering her powers she dressed as an outcast, but now that she couldn't touch anybody she felt truly alone.

Blasted powers, why me? Ah hate this school, can't say ah really loved mah old one etheir. Ahm so confused, the Xmen seem like they wanna help me now. The X-men they all look out for each other and seem to care for each other like family...family ive never really had a family. Ah mean Destiny (Ilene Adler) was mah guardian for like 5 years and ah love her dearly but she did send me off to New York as soon as she found out bout mah powers, said it was for my future hah! I don ever member havin a real family before that etheir. Just bits and pieces of mah childhood all jumbled.

During the weeks following her move Rogue would find out that Mystique (mama) was her real mother, that the bro.hood protected mutants, and that Irene Adler (destiny) was choosen by Mystique to be her gurdian for her early yrs. Mystique has yet to reveal to Rogue that she shapeshifts(rogues never seen her true blue form), that she is the school principal and, that she works for the villain Magneto, and what her evil intentions for humans were.
All she has told Rogueis that her powers were predicted by Destiny and that she left her w/ Destiny to protect her. Mystique also encourages the brotherhood members to associate with Rogue at school and as principal Mystique makes sure when possible that the Xmen don't go near her.

But now after what happened I don know whom to turn to. Mama said she had a mission for me...sent me up ta some military compound in Maine ta get her files of adolescent mutants for her ta recruit ah guess. Avalanche created a disturbance and ah easily got inside. Shed been training me how to be stealth and It worked. Over mah communicator she told mah how to hack into the computer. Ah was just bout to download it when some blonde haired woman in a mask came flyin and ah mean literally flyin at me!

Ah heard her say, "I am MS. MARVEL, sworn protector of justice!"
Then she knocked mah off the chair and threw the computer out the window! Momma intercomed me to abort and said that wasnt the last time id be meeting Ms. Marvel.

Later Mystique sent Rogue to Maine University for what she called a highly important task. She told Rogue that she would have to find a Carol Danvers, whom she wanted to recruit. She also told Rogue to keep her intercom on the whole time in case Carol did not come willingly because Carol had very dangerous powers.

Ah found this Carol Danvers Momma told me bout real easy. Turns out everyone on campus knew her, she was head cheerleader. Ah wasnt to excited bout havin to talk ta her but ah figured ah needed ta get it over with. Ahm only 16 and she looked about 20 so ah was really uncomfortable. Finally ah mustured up enough guts and approached her.

She immediately tackled me, ah was so confused. Ah heard her mumbling "you again, i want some answers."

Ah heard Momma's voice through the intercom "drain her rogue" So I grabbed her and began to drain her energy. Ah saw images of her in a mask...the same woman from the compound! Suddenly as ah was letting go I felt mah feet lift off the ground. "Momma help, ah cant let go! I'll fall!" I shouted into the intercom. She told me ta hang on no matter what. Then it went black.

The college EMT's came and collected Rogue and Ms. Marvel and admitted them to a local hospital. Soon after Mystique came and collected Rogue. Everything had thus far gone as planned. She couldn't wait to find out if Rogue had absorbed Ms Marvel's powers, but she knew it would be wise to not run any immediate tests and let Rogue settle back home for a day. Little did Mystique know she would never get to run those tests. Upon her return home Rogue was a mess. She kept geting those images in her head. Mystique had told her that Ms. Marvel had dropped her and
flown off, but then why did Rogue keep seeing Ms Marvel everywhere. Mystique had told her to stay home from school, but when Rogue decided she needed to get away from her house and talk to someone. A voice inside her head told her to go see the principle. It didn't feel like her idea, but she didn't care it was a idea. She snuck outta her house and went to the school to the principle's office door. She was about to open it when she heard voices talking. One she recongnized..Momma? The other was dark: -following dilogue between Magneto and Mystique-

Mys.: "5 years Ive waited for my daughter to become the ultimate mutant fighter and it's so close to time I can taste it."
Mag.: "We will first need to make sure she absorbed Miss Marvel's powers permanatly."
Mys: "Rogue will begin testing as soon as possible my lord"
Mag: "Good. You are fully sure the girl will do what we tell her?"
Mys.: "Of course, I have trained her well, she'll destroy our enemies!"
Mag.: "Make sure of it Mystique. She needs to be completely devoted to our cause Charles attempt to recruit her failed once, he may try again.
How fitting that hes trying to help the one mutant who will ultimatley be my key to abolishing the X-men and ending humanity!"

Ah ran in tears. How could she! Ah was just part of her plan...just a weapon! Ah ran home in panic. No it was no longer mah home, never was to begin with! Ah cramed all mah things in a duffel bag. Then kept running, kept running with uncertainty to the only place that ahhad a chance of gettin help at..the only place left ah knew of - the X mansion........
