______________________________________________________________
It was awfully quiet at the Xmansion. Strom was watering her plants in the green house when she heard the door...
"knock."
"knock."
She was taken by complete surprise when she opened the door. There stood a green-cloaked figure holding a shabby black
dufflebag. The figure looked up at her slowly, tear filled green eyes...green eyes that storm immediately recognized.

Storm gasped once again surprised, " You! Child what are you-"

Rogue began to run away. How could she be so dumb to think that these people could help her, that these people would even
want to help her. She was the enemy. Once they might have helped her, but not now, not now that- Suddenly there was a voice
in her hea;, a man's voice: "Please wait...we want to help you. I know your scared but please you must listen to me."

Rogue looked up to see where the voice was coming from. Then she turned around and saw a man in a wheelchair staring straight
at her. He was on the mansion steps, standing behind him was Storm. "Who are you?" was all Rogue could say.

"Rogue, I am Professor Charles Xavier founder of the Xmen and this safe haven for gifted individuals.........

The professor explained to Rogue all about the X-men and their role in the coexsistance between mutants and humans. He told her
about how the Xmen had come to help her when her powers first manifested and that they could help her now, but only if she wanted.
He also told her that he thought she was not a villain and that she had a good heart (like when she saved Jean from Blob) and that she
was just in a bad situation and confused. In return Rogue told him about Ms. Marvel and the images in her head. However, Rogue
did not tell him about Mystique.

"I want your help, I cant deal with all these thoughts and images, but I don know about becoming an Xman."
"The choice is yours Rogue, I will do my best to help you. You will have ta trust me though and maybe in time
you can learn ta trust the others. You don have to be alone."
"Will see bout dat trust thing, thanks a lot-i mean it."
"Your welcome, we have guest room that storm can lead you to. I request that you stay here tonight. However
your free to stay where you want from tomorrow on. However I hope you do stay with us, I can provide you with your
own room, a safe environment..."
"Ill think about it."
And with that the conversation was over and Rogue left with Storm to a guest room. Prof. X smiled and then looked at the
clock: almost 2 o'clock; the other X-men would be back from school and getting ready for their gym session any minute now
He hoped that Rogue would feel most welcomed.

"Professor?" Jean telepathed the prof, she had just gotten in.
"Jean?"
"Me and Spyke just got home, Scott's staying after finishing a test, Kitty's at band practice, and Kurt should be popping in soon"
"Good, send Spyke to warm up I need to see you in my office, its important."
"Right away professor."
-Minutes later-
"Welcome home Jean, I wanted to talk to you, we have an unexpected guest...our Rogue has come to us seeking help."
"That's great professor! I knew she would come around, after all she did help me in that situation with Blob. And she isn't
really all that bad, Scott did that Shakespear proj. with her and he said-
"Hold on Jean . She's very confused, she didn't quite come to join the X-men, she needs help with her powers. It appears she
may have permanently absorbed someone's powers. She didn't tell me exactly how it happened, but I got the impression it was
a very bad incident."
*BAMF*
"Kurt? You should be in the danger room"
"Sorry professor, I vas running late, didn't think before I ported…Vat did I miss? Looks serious."
"Kurt, Rogue has stopped by today seeking our help. As I was saying Jean, and Kurt we need to earn her trust, I feel that shes been
lied and tricked to. We need to help her, shes very confused. When she wakes up from her nap, Jean I want you to talk to her, take her on a
tour perhaps. Its important. We should get going to the gym, I need to tell the others"
"Vat about me professor, can I talk to her. I feel bad for her, its no fun being alone."
"It'd be best if we took things slow and show her we intend no harm . She hasn't forgotten our first encounter and her powers are dangerous.
You'll get another chance Kurt, now lets go."

-After Danger room session- (Note: everyone now knows about Rogue's arrival)
Jean knocks on the guestroom door that Rogue is staying in…
Rogue: (turns down her loud rock music) "Come on in, doors open"
Jean enters
Rogue: "What do you want?"
Jean: "I just wanted to talk to you. I know its been rough ever since you got your powers and I'm glad you finally came. We want to help
you Rogue, if you-"
Rogue: "Listen ah already got this speech from the professor so ya can save ya breath and if your done ahd like to get changed alright?"
Jean: "uh sure" (she heads towards the door, but stops for a sec) Oh and Rogue, I never got a chance to thank you from saving me from
Blob. So thanks, I still owe you one. (she leaves)
Rogue: (to herself) ya don't owe me nothin

Out in the hallway dialogue between Storm, Cyclops, Spyke, Nightcrawler, and Kitty
C: "Okay guys its up to us to make Rogue feel at home, but the professor doesn't want us to overwhelm her, so lets back off at first."
K: "No prob. I know we like owe her, but the way she dresses its creepy. And remember what she did to Nightcrawler?"
NC: "I scared her when she saw me, and she freaked. Can't say I'd blame her. I feel bad for her...
K: "Still did you hear her music, it sounds like an expolosion...boom!"
Spyke: "Is she coming down for dinner? Its aunt Storm's turn to cook."
Storm: "Thats right, I'll make pasta. Who wants to ask her if she'll join us, Scott?"
C: "Sure"
-30 minutes later-

Scott came running down the hall and almost ran into two figures "Wolverine, Professor?"
"What is it kid?" asked Wolverine
"Its Rogue shes not in her room, but shes still in the mansion grounds-" the professor replied before Scott could answer.
"I'll find her, see what she's doing!" wolverine was on the move in a second.
"Logan be nice shes scared and confused-" the professor shouted after him

Wolverine had already picked up her scent. She was heading towards the garage. He went through the vent to cut her off.
Rogue had just taken a step in the garage when Wolverine popped out of the ceiling vent, his claws extended, a mere inch from her face.
She gasped in terror and tripped-falling to the floor.
Wolverine growled, "What are you doing out here?"
Rogue looked down still a bit shocked, "Ahm…Ahm sorry, ah just needed some air to clear mah head; so many things in mah head"
(she looked up there were more tears in her eyes)
Wolverine sat down next to her on the ground, "Its okay, next time just let the prof know where ya going."
"Ah hate bein different, an outcast from mutants and humans. Ah don want to be the bad gal" Rogue blurted out suddenly.
"This may come as a surprise, but I know how ya feel. All these super nice, super good people in the insitute.
Its easy to feel crumy bout yourself. These people don't understand us loners. Anytime ya need to talk Im here. Just between us,
loner to loner. These are good people, trust them, trust me. If ya run into problems here ya can leave, I wont stop ya if ya give em a chance.
Deal?" He pulled her up on her feet.
"Deal."
"Comin to dinner kid?"
"Sure ahm starvin."

Dinner wasn't too interesting. Rogue could feel how the others never took their eyes off her. Well except the professor and Logan.
Cyclops or Jean Grey were not at dinner, he had a basket-ball game and she has to cheer. Rogue wished Scott was, atleast he'd talk to her.
The blue elf looked afraid of her (prob cuz ah took his powers when we first meet) The white-haired woman who answered the door just stared.
(Ah didn't know what to think of her) Her nephew left dinner in a rush (Ah didn't get to see much of him) and the little annoying girl (Kitty) treated
her like a disease not going anywhere near her and looking at her like she was an alien or something! Rogue finished her pasta w/o one word, she
kept seeing memories, but they didnt seem like hers. The professor saw that she was finished at telepathed to her you can leave the table now if you'd
like, just place your dish on the counter. Tommorow morning Id like to see you in my office at 6:00 a.m. Rogue nodded and left the table.

Rogue returned to her room to get some sleep. It had been a looong day. She flopped down on the bed, but she could not sleeo. Images kept hauntig her...
she saw memories of saving peoples lives-good deeds. Hers? No they couldn't be she was the bad guy remember? She slammed her fist down on the oak
table next to her bed. To her astonishment it cracked in half.
"Whats happening to mah?"

- 11:00 p.m. that evening, Mystique's hideout (Rogues old "home")-

"All her things are gone, we looked everywhere: school, the park, all the hangouts-

Mystique cut toad of she was enraged, "NO one sleeps TILL we find her, go I dont care if you've looked everywhere SHE likes to go, you moron..LOOK
everywhere she COULD GO..Tell the others and I mean NOW."

Toad hopped off quickly, leaving Mystique w/ her thoughts...
...Where is she? I should of never left her home alone. Magneto would have a fit, Hell w/ him shes my daughter Im gonna have a fit...Ms Marvel that twit-
shes taken over Rogue's mine, but where would Ms. Marvel go? I must call Irene at once.
Mystique picked up the phone and dialed.
"Hello"
"Irene its me"
"I know Mystique...shes gone."
"Of course shes gone, Ms. Marvel has taken over her mind ,but WHERE is she?"
"Xaivers."
"WHAT? NO! SHE CANT BE!!! No matter the second Ms. Marvel loses control over her body she will return to me,"
"No Mystique, It was not just Ms. Marvel's decision."
"NOOOO Rogue would never betray me."
"I saw an image of her, listening to a conversation between you and your associate, shes the one who feels betrayed."
"Can I get her back, shes my daughter."
"Mystique I dont think-"
"Shut up" and with that Mystique abruptly hung up the phone. However, as pissed off as she was she had a plan.
"I will get my daughter back."

-Tommorow 6 in the morning, Xaiver's Office-
dialogue Rogue/Prof X

R: Ya wanted to see me professor?
PX: Rogue were you planning to go to school today?
R: uh...no ah guess not
PX: Good.
R: Huh?
PX: Rogue I will be honest you are in a very dangerous sitituation. I believe there are two different minds
inside your head one is yours and the other one is Ms. Marvel's. The absorbtion caused Ms. Marvel's
mind and mutant powers to be seperated from her body and traped inside you. Ms Marvel posses the
the ability to fly and super strength that makes her pretty much invunrable.
(that explains the table, thought rogue)
R: Professor I keep gettin these images in mah head and every night ah have these nightmares, shes haunting
me. Can ya return her mind and powers to her?
PX: Rogue I have not slept a wink myself. I've been thinking of possible solutions and I've come to realize
there is nothing else that can be done, then to scilence Ms. Marvel, for both your sakes.
The professor begins to use his powers and burries Ms. Marvel deep into Rogue's subconcious. For the rest of the
day the professor and Wolverine helped train Rogue to use her new powers. At the end of the day she is all worn
out and goes straight into a heavy sleep.

-10:30 p.m. that night, The Xaiver Institute -

All the young mutants were in their rooms doing homework, with the exception of Spyke and Nightcrawler who were
in the rec. room playing video games and Scott who was in the garage working onthe blackbird. Professor X was in his ,
study and Wolverine was god knows where.
A dark figure entered the mansion undetected. She morphed into Wolverine and headed into the rec. room.
"What are you kids doing up?"
"Sorry Wolverine, we were really getting into this new fighting game." answered Spyke a little suprised at his tone.
"Well its a school night last time I checked, head to your rooms before I start to play a fighting game with yas."
"K wolvie" ~Bamf~ (Nightcrawler was out of there)
Spyke headed to his room as well.
Wolverine then turned into Spyke and went to the garage.
"Hey Scott, Professor Xaiver wants you to call it a night."
"K man, just gotta put everything away." Scott answered.
"Hey, Ill put everything away you just head up."
"Okay, thanks Spyke."
"No problem" said Spyke. Cyclops left the garage.
Spyke morphed into Storm, "No problem at all"

On the way to his room Cyclops ran right into Spyke.
"What are you doing up here Spyke, How'd you get ahead of me?"
"Huh? I forgot to turn the t.v. off."
"I thought you were gonna put the tools and stuff away in the garage."
"What are you talking about man? I havent been in-
"Oh my gosh Rogue!" Cyclops exclaimed
"What about Rogue?"
"Mystique's here, she morphed into you and shes after Rogue." Cyclops said rushing down the hall
right into Wolverine.
"I smell something oily Mystique!"
"Shes after Rogue" replied Scott as both of them ran down the hall.

-Meanwhile in the guest room Rogues staying at-

"Like I was saying Rogue, the professor changed his mind. He knows what you did to Carol Danvers.
She was a good person Rogue and you took away her memories her powers!"

"Storm, Am so sorry, ah didn't mean to-

"Whats done is done, we tried to help you before, but you just wouldn't listen to use. Go back where
you belong..."

enter Cyclops and Wolverine

"Get away from her Mystique!" yelled cyclops, his eye lense flashing red.

"Shit" mumbled Storm, morphing into a panther, "You get away from her, shes mine!"

Wolverine extended his claws and Spyke + the real Storm joined the party.

The panther jumped out the window. Wolverine, Spyke, and Storm followed it. Cyclops
went to comfort Rogue who was sitting in the corner, a mess.
"You okay Rogue?"
"Scott I dont belong here, I don't deserve your help. Ah aint nothing, but bad news."
"Rogue thats not true, none of this is your fault."
"Then why do I feel so guilty about everything thats happened?"
"Rogue were here to help you, we can make this right."
"Scott?"
"Ya"
"I want to be an Xmen, I want to fight for good to make up for the bad....."
