~the ROGUE
~X-MEN EVOLUTION 2000~
part. 2 - battlefront
It has been over two weeks since Rogue changed her mind and decided to join the X-men. During these two weeks Rogue
has been working to control her new powers night and day and the professor has been penetrating Rogue's mind so that
Ms. Marvel will be scilenced for a longer period of time. She has the super strength thing down, but the flying has not been coming well
and she has fallen many times trying it. The professor has convinced her not to try it again for awhile, for it may not have transfered
with Ms. Marvel's other powers. Rogue's still evidently detatched from the rest of the group. She has not attended school
since the incident. However, at Xaiver's request she will return tommorow.
"Spyke are you there?"
Spyke pressed the speak button on his intercom, "Jean?"
"Where have you been, you missed dinner, Storm was starting to worry..."
"Tell my aunt she shouldn't ever worry about me, I can take care of myself. Uh sorry bout dinner, guess I just lost track of time
skateboarding. I'll head back asap" Spyke replied.
Spyke grinded the railing of a flight of stairs and did a kickflip off; followed by a series of impressive ariel trickes. He loved just
busting tricks on his skateboard. It kept his mind off the pressures of school, sports, and being a mutant. Not wanting Storm to
get anymore upset with him for being late, he decided to try a shortcut thru an alley way.
As he entered the alley way he heard some yelling. Skating closer he saw two figures. One he recongnized from school as Todd
Tolensky (toad), the other looked monstorous and vicious. He had long blonde hair,sharp teeth, and claws. Knowing something was
definatley up Spyke hid behind a large trash can.
He could overhear some of their conversation:
"Uh Mystique told me to...uh tell ya she wanted to see you asap."
"grrrrr..."
"Uh thats all Im suppose to tell ya big guy, so I guess I'll just be headin-"
(Sabertoothe grabs Toad's arm tightly)
"yikes!"
"grrr...tell Mystique that if she wants to see me she knows where to find me."
"Well ya see I think its kinda um important and that it has to do-
"grrrrrrr."
Spyke was still crouched down several feet away, he whispered into his intercom, "This is Spyke anyone there?"
"Spyke, Its Kurt vwhat-
"shhh, keep your voice down man. Im in an alley way off Salem Circle. Somethings up, Tolensky and this other guy are at
the end of the alley, the other person's a big guy, tall blonde, looks like a freakin animal or-
"sabertooth?!"
"shhhhhhhhh! ya he looks like a sabertoothe alright. Im hidin behind this dumpster trying to pick up whats going on, if I move they'll
see me."
"Spyke Im gonna get help vright away; careful Sabertoothe's trouble,Wolverine and him fought...Spyke? Spyke you there?
Sabertoothe wrapped his claws around Spyke's throat, "grrr.."
(he used his other hand to crush Spyke's intercom)
Toad went to get a look at who Sabertoothe had caught, "Hey Daniels there a reason your behind a dumpster listenin to my business?"
"grrr shut-up." commanded Sabertoothe.
"certainly" toad responded by motioning that his lips were zipped.
Sabertoothe continued, "Now your gonna tell-"
*bamf*
Nightcrawler and Jean Grey appeared on the scene in full uniform, "Evan, Storms on her way. As for you," Jean looked at Sabertoothe
"let him go!"
"sure" Sabertoothe smiled as he lifted Spyke over his head. He was about to flaten him, by throwing him against a brick wall when Spikes
came out Spyke's back, piercing Sabertoothe's skin. "I don't think so!" Spyke shouted.
Spyke fell into the dumpster, hitting his head on the side. Sabertoothe knelt to the ground in pain.
Meanwhile, Toad lunged at nightcrawler, who teleported out of the way. Toad continued to chase him onto an apartment building's fire
escape ladder. Kurt winked at Jean and led Todd up the ladder all the way to the roof. Once on the roof Kut teleported and Jean used her
telepathy to remove the ladder. Thus trapping Toad on the roof. Next Sabertoothe, no longer in pain yet pissed, went after Jean. She put
up a phsyic sheild to protect herself. But she couldn't hold it and he finally broke through...
"Im gonna enjoy this girly."
CRASH
A bolt of lightning landed inches away from where he was standing.
He looked up to see Storm hovering in the sky.
Storm landed in the opposite end of the alley; eyes white, "Prepare to face the wrath of Storm"
Sabertoothe growled and headed towards her.
She sent him flying back with a strong gust of wind. He landed just short of a brick wall. Storm then blasted the bricks so that they burried him.
"Quickly that will not hold him long, Kurt teleport Spyke back home, I'll fly Jean." She instructed to the others.
- The Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters -
"What was Sabertoothe doing with Todd Tolensky?"
"I don't know professor, did you over hear why Evan?" answered Storm.
"Something about Mystique wanting him, but the dude didn't say why or anything like that." replied Spyke.
"Odd, very odd indeed." mused professor Xavier.
(enter Wolverine)
"Sniff, Sniff" Wolverine unleashed his claws, "Sabertoothe."
Storm explained, "Today Spyke had an encounter with him, and he overheard him talking to Toad. Somehow he's connected to Mystique. But we don't
know quite what his connection with her is. I was lucky to be able to stop his attack today....Logan? Logan where are you going?"
"Gonna find that scum bag and get some answers. Its not like him to be working for Mystique, somethings up and I don't like it."
Professor X was the first to protest, "Logan may I suggest that-
The door slammed and the sound of Logan's motorcycle starting echoed throughout the mansion.
- Later that night, the Danger room -
"Looks like Rogue's putting your obstacle course to shame Scott." Jean commented looking out the window at the danger room.
Scott pressed the voice button to the danger room intercom, "Ok, Rogue it's late, I think thats all I can come up with tonight."
Rogue nodded and made her way up to the control room.
Jean greeted her, "Wow Rogue you did a great job, I was just telling Scott that his obstacle course was no match for you."
Rogue just headed out the door, ignoring her praise.
She was about to head into the locker rooms when Scott called out after her, "Hey Rogue wait up."
"What do you want?" Rogue asked.
"Hey I got a suprise for you, after school tommorow meet me by the flag pole (there was a pause) okay?"
"fine, now will ya lemme go get changed?" she replied not sounding at all excited.
"great." scott said, heading back down the hall.
- The Brotherhood's current hideout -
"Thats what happened Mystique, I swear, ."
"You better not be lying Toad or I'll have you fried...I won't let the X-men get in my way. "
Todd then hopped off, he knew it what best to stay out of Mystique's way when she was angry.
"Oh and Toad!" He truned around right away. "Was Rogue at school today."
He looked down and mumbled, "No."
"Blast! Xavier is doing a good job of keeping her out of my reach. I will not allow her to join the X-men, I cannot allow
it! Toad I want you to keep an eye out for her. If she does return convince her to turn away from the X-men. Got it?"
"Gottcha." Toad answered and then hopped away.
"I will get her back, mark my words Xavier...you will pay for this." Mystique vowed to herself.
- Xaiver's School for the gifted, Kitty's room -
*bamf*
"KURT?!"
"hey Kitty."
"Don't you like hey kitty me after you come teleporting in my room uninvited, I mean what if I was like gettin dressed or something.
Geez! I have a door ya know?"
"Sorry Kitty I'll knock next time, I was just wondering if vyou could tell me how to work the internet sometime. I mean vwe vwent to the
computer lab in geography today and I didn't know how to turn the thing on ha!"
"Ok Kurt Ill teach during lunch tommorow if I don't have band, but only if you give me a rematch in that tagging game we played w/Logan
I was so gonna win."she said making a face.
"ya vright! vyou got it Kitty, night."
*bamf*
"I hate it when he does that! What he needs is a lesson in using a door . Has he like ever used one in his life?!" Kitty commented to herself.
- The Next Morning -
Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep
"Ugh,Vwhat time is it?.....7:04!"
Kurt, aka: Nightcrawler had slept in late by accident due to his anticipation for his computer lesson with Kitty. He had a crush on her from
the moment she joined the X-men. At that time he firightened her, but not anymore now he had a computer lesson with her! He was
perhaps more excited than he ought to be, considering it wasn't a real date or even close to it...
He got up, went to the bathroom, and then pressed the button to his holographic visualizer. It was now about 7:20- 15min till first bell! (at 7:35)
Next in haste, he teleported down to breakfast. He noticed the only other student there was Rogue, who was almost done scarfing down bagle.
She was in her usual attire: boots, black leather glooves, the white face powder, etc. etc.
"Kurt, late again?"
"Sorry Storm."
"You better hurry if your gonna catch the bus! That goes for you to Rogue."
(Storm exits.)
"Ah think Ah'd rather walk." Rogue declared to no one in paticular as she got up from the table.
"I can give you a ride ferline." suggested Nightcrawler.
"Really? Oh ya mean poofing me dere or telepoting, whatever ya call it. Sorry ah'll pass"
"Oh come on vyou like fraid of tryin it or something."
"Ah aint afraid, (he didn't look convinced) fine Ah'll try the stupid thing, what do ah do?"
"Just hold on to me." Nightcrawler said holding out his hand.
Rogue grabbed her bookbag and then took his hand hesitantly.
*bamf* (they landed under the bleachers)
"Volia!" Nightcrawler stated proudly seeing the awe in her eyes.
"Oh uh thanks, it was fun." Rogue said softly as she walked towards the school.
"Rogue vwait." (she stopped) "I was like vyou once alone, ashamed..." he trailed off.
"Ashamed of a power like that?" Rogue joked.
"Pretty unbelivable huh?"
Rogue laughed.
Then the bell rang and Rogue rushed off leaving a semi confused Kurt behind.
Kurt thought to himself:
"Did a just make joke around with the Rogue? Did the Rogue just laugh? whoo...weird" He decided he'd try to talk to her more in French class.
*bamf*
he teleported to the door of his english class still surprised.
"Little late today Kurt?" Kitty asked as he tried to enter class quietly.
"Thats another tardy Kurt, your second of the week, one more and I'll be seeing you in detention, is that clear?"
"Yes Mrs. Charleston." Kurt answered politely, a little embarassed.
He took his seat in front of Kitty and then turned around and whispered, "Kitty you'll never guess who has a sense of humor."
"Kurt turn around your like already in trouble-" Kitty began lecturing.
"The Rogue!" he exclaimed, unable to contain himself.
"Like no way, only if you include wearing those boots as a sense of humor."
Mrs Charleston had enough,"Kathryn Pryde perhaps you can tell me the pronoun in this sentence instead of chit chatting!"
"Sorry Mrs. Charleston(she threw Kurt a mean glance) the pronoun would be Anna." replied Kitty.
"Do you have any questions Kurt?"Mrs. Charleston asked with an irritated tone.
Kurt thought for a moment then smiled, "Ya like vwhen do we get to vwatch a movie?"
The whole class laughed and Kitty threw Kurt another mean glance.
- 8:00A.M., Mr. Martino's 1st pd. algebra 2 class -
Rogue didn't really like any of her classes, but she hated her Algebra 2 class with a passion. It was about halfway into the period and she had
just decided to enter.
Her teacher, Mr. Martino greeted her "Well well what do we have here, I guess I shouldn't complain that your extremley tardy, atleast you actually
showed up for once. Now take your seat were going over quadratic equations."
Rogue took her seat. She could here two girls behind her:
"Look the dark demon girl's here. I figured she must of got herself expelled or something"
"Ya like maybe she took some time off to learn how to speak."
Rogue blocked the girls behind her and said nothing.
"So if you put the original equation in standard form you will get, A squared +52 = C, next you'll need to find..."
She blocked Mr. Martino's boring lesson out of her head and said nothing.
"You going to the game tonight, Dirk, Ill be there?"
She blocked out the girl and boy flirting in front of her and said nothing.
Todd Tolensky sat to the left of her, she could hear him constantly whispering her name.
She blocked out Todd's voice and said nothing.
RIIINNNGG!
Rogue got up at the sound of the bell along with the other kids and said nothing.
Biology was just as bad, Rogue had to get her French book out of her locker for next (3rd) period. She headed towards her locker, surprised that she
remembered the combo she opened it. Just then she felt someone coming up behind her.
...dialogue Toad & Rogue...
T: "Hey Rogue whats with ignoring me during math?"
R: "What do ya wantTodd? Tired of picking flies out of the trash can?"
T: "Ya know, your actually pretty smart."
R: "excuse me?"
T: "Going to the X-men to spy on them, get some info for Mystique. I'm jealous, really."
R: "Thats not why Im there."
T: "Then why are you there? Don't tell me you actually want to join...I thought you were tougher than that. You gonna be one of Xaiver's students, get straight
A's, obey all the rules, fight for justice.
Rogue slammed her locker door almost breaking it and walked away angrily. Toad smiled, he had touched a nerve.
- 3rd period, Madame Shafer's French class -
Rogue sat in the very back of her French class. She saw Kurt wave at her, but she just kinda ignored him. She was mad at Todd, well not Todd exactly, she was
mad at what he had said. It was true she had betrayed the brotherhood when she went to Xavier's. But Todd didn't know crap, Mystique had betrayed her! Well
sorta...she wasn't gonna go straight edge and become an order obeying dweeb. But did becomming and X-man, mean she had to become all that other stuff too.
RIIINNNG!
The bell rang and class was over before she knew it. Rogue could hear Madame Shafer yelling, "auvoir." as she got up from her seat.
Nightcrawler had waited by the door for her.
"Comming to lunch ferline, took ya long enough to get out of class know?, you must of been stunned from that all so exciting french class."
Rogue watched as Todd walked by and made a face at her, "Ya must of...uh I gotta go get some make up work."
Nightcrawler watched her walk away, "Ok don't forget danger room session 2:00..." -that didn't go to well..he thought to himself.
Kurt suddenly looked at the clock "oh my lesson w/ Kitty!" he looked around to see if anyone was around.
*bamf*
- Lunch time -
Scottt Summers was running late to lunch. It had taken longer than he had expected to clean up his lab in physics. As he walked into the cafateria he looked at the
table the X-men usually sat at. He couldn't find Nightcrawler or Kitty anywhere. He noticed Rogue was sitting where she had always sat even before she joinned the
X-men; in the table in the left corner. He wanted her to be more part of the group and sit with the team, but since there was no team to sit with today he would hold his
tongue. Finally, he found Jean at the popular table. Sitting next to her on the right side was Brad, Bayville High's star football quaterback and his friends. On her left side
was another cheerleader and across from her was Vinnie, the school newspaper editor. The last seat on the left of the table was open so Scott decided to sit.
"Hey Scott." greeted Jean.
"Summers." greeted Brad in a less upbeat tone.
Lunch went by pretty quickly and Scott spent all of his social efforst in one conversation with Vinnie, about how far the school newspaper should be allowed to go. Scott
couldn't help but notice how Brad constantly was flirting with Jean. Although him and Jean were not dating or anything they were very close and to see her with another
guy exspecially Brad made his blood boil.
"Hey Jean wanna go get ready for class?" an overirritated Scott asked.
"Sure Scott, I'll see you at the game tonight Brad."
The pair went to their lockers to grab there books.
"Where was everyone at lunch today Jean?"
"Rogue I saw there...and I think Kitty was suppose to be helping Kurt in the computer lab."
Scott laughed, "Im pretty sure I already taught Kurt everything you need to know about the computer."
Jean joined him in laughing, "Poor Kitty. Oh no! I forgot my Journalism article at lunch."
"You want me to come with you to get it?"
"No thats okay, you better head to english, see if you can talk to Rogue about lunch ."
Jean started heading down the hall, "Oh and Scott, umm are you gonna come to the game tonight?"
Scott sighed, "Ya right, remember what happened last time I went to a game."
Jean frowned, "You should come." Then she headed to the cafateria.
Ya I should come so I can see you flirt with that jerk Brad. Scott thought about the last time he went to a football game. The huge scene he had caused sticking
up for Toad who had run into a rut with Brad. He couldn't just let Brad beat the guy up so he interceeded on Toads behalf. To make a long story short the glasses
ended up coming off and things blew up. Creating a scene the professor had to erase form everyone's minds. Jean was there. She had restored to Scott his
glasses, then gone with Brad to the hospital...Scott sighed again, time to go to class.
- 4th period, Mr. Flemmings AP Literature class -
Scott came to class right as the bell rang. He frowned, when he noticed that Rogue was not there. He sat down as the school announcements came on, they came on
everyday at the start of 4th period.
Scott focused his attention off of the fact that Rogue wasn't there and on to the announcements coming over the loud speaker.
"Come support Bayville High as we take on the Wildcats tonight! So far our team record is 6 wins and 2 losses..alright football team! Were on our way to a region title and
hopefully the state championship! "
"Homecomming is less than a month a way and to make it great we need your help! Drop off your ideas in the suggestion box located by the concession stand at tonights game."
Rogue entered quietly, ignoring the glances she was getting from Mr. Flemmings and the rest of the class. She sat at her seat which was right in front of Scott.
"Attention all Drama club members, a meeting will be held today, meet in the thearter at 3:30. That concludes your Thursday afternoon announcements."
One of Scott's friends (who sat to the left of rogue) leaned over and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Check out who's returned from the dead!" everyone around him started laughing.
Rogue clenched her fists.
Another person chimed in "Maybe we can get her to talk to us if we all dress up in face paint."
More laughter. Scott spoke up, "Chill out guys, thats not nessecary." He quickly changed the subject, "Anybody do last night's reading."
"While were actually discussing last night's reading," Mr. Flemmings pointed out, "Are you starting to see how anyone can relate to Shakespear's work?"
Scott was still working on Mr. Flemming's in class, due by the end of the period essay on which one of shakespear's characters you identify most with when the
bell rang. He scribbled down: So in conclusion I find that I can actually relate to Hamlet's experiences with bad luck, although not on such a tragic level. "Whew!"
he sighed, finally relieving his stress of turning the paper in on time. He was last to leave the class.
- 5th period, Ms. Diggs Earth Science Class -
Kurt and Evan were lab partners for the mineral invetigation lab the class was doing today. It was nice having other X-men in class with you.
"Whats up Kurt, you seem like your minds teleported out of your body." Evan asked as he picked out the granite from the dirt sample.
"Vwell, my lesson vwith Kitty didn't go so well. She brought her vfriend Doug vwho's a cool guy, but all they vwould talk about was computers
and band. I couldn't get like vone vword in, I didn't even find out if she's going to the game tonight. I don't think she likes me, not that I blame her..."
Evan tried to comfort his friend, "Don't worry man. You just need to relax of course she was talkin about computers you guys were in the computer
lab. You need to invite her somewhere better than the computer lab."
"Ya maybe vyour vright." Kurt looked at his watch, "We better hurry up and finish this before vwe run outta time."
Just then Pietro Maximoff (aka: Quicksilver and Spyke's rival) walked by. He was headed to the closet to put his lab gear away-he was finished.
"Little slow there Daniels, but then again maybe I'm just too fast for you."
"Yeah whatever." Evan replied, obviously annoyed.
"Too fast for you and not just at completing labs." satisfied with getting his kicks in Pietro continued his route to the closet and Kurt/Evan rushed
to finish their lab.
RRIIINNNGGG!
Rogue put away the tissue paper she had been using on her art project. She was running a bit late for her appointment with Scott, but figured if it was
really important he'd wait. Luckily she had broght everything she needed to art and didn't need to go to her locker. She decided it would be best to go through
the cafeteria then take the exit at the end small hallway in the drama area to get outside, rather than the main hallway. She put on her green hooded cloak.
As she entered the small hallway Rogue was deep in thought about what Scott could possibly want. She didn't notice the group of three girls and a guy
walking in a chain like formation, that blocked anyone trying to get through. The girls in the line were all three at once complimenting and flirting and giggling
with the guy like he was a rock star. They didn't notice the person coming right at them till it was too late. Rogue walked right into Sue a trendy chinese
gril on the end.
CRASH
Rogue had practically run her over due to her superstrength. The guy had helped Sue up when a dazed Rogue finally began to get up. The guy
thought Rogue was also a guy probably because of the strength Rogue had displayed in knocking the girl over and the fact that the green cloak compleley
covered Rogue up from his angle. They guy stood above Rogue as she got up; he spoke.
"excuse me, but I t'ink dat ya should apologize ta her for being so rude."
Rogue just looked up at him, revealing fire in her green emerald eyes and that she was not a boy.
The guy looked stunned. He opened his mouth, "Sorr.." and then shut it again.
He was wearing sunglasses...like Scott did..Scott!..Rogue rushed by the guy who seemed to be in a trance or something to meet Scott.
But when she got to the flag pole Scott wasn't there. Fustrated she decieded to go to the nearby ice cream parlor. Unfortunatly Avalanche and
Quicksilver approached her. Rogue pulled out her intercom in case she would need help.
Pietro was the first to speak. "Rogue, or should I call you tratior of the month?" He quickly ran circles around her, taking the intercom out of her hand
before she could react.
"You two just leave me alone." Rogue started to run away off school grounds. But Quicksilver easily kept up with her . He spoke as he ran "We understand
that you weren't quite yourself so were gonna give you one last chance to come back to the brotherhood, then we wont give you anymore trouble..."
Rogue stopped running and glared at him "Eat dirt."
Just then the ground beneath her rumbled and she lost her balance and fell hard on her head, hitting the concreate road.
"Eat concreate" Pietro gave a thumbs up to avalanche who had caught up w/ them.
Rogue awoke with her hands tied behind her back moments later to Blob, Toad, Avalanche, and Quicksilver standing over her.
She didnt know where she was, inside somewhere...she could hear them talking:
Pietro: "Mystique and our new business associate should be hear any moment."
Avalanche: "Who is this guy, mystique sent you for Toad? Is he strong?
Toad: "I'd say he was big I mean the guy could-."
Blob: "Not as strong as me, no one's as strong as me."
Pietro: "Stop squabbling, it looks like sleeping beauty is awake."
Suddenly a tall monsterous creature entered the room. He was big with long light brown hair and black eyes. He looked more like an
animal than a person, knda like Wolverine. His voice was more of a dark growl than a voice
"grrr is this the girl."
"wheres Mystique?" asked Blob suspiciously.
Sabertoothe meet his suspicious stare with a more threartening one, "grrr she wants you to meet her at this location" he handed them
a slip of paper, "wants you to start a riot or something and dont ever question me again boy grrr." Intimitaded Blob took the paper and backed off.
Sabertoothe redirected his eyes at Rogue and started to walk towards her.
"grrr and tell Mystique that she owes me the-
Just then Wolverine jumped through a glass window, shattering glass everywhere and landed on his feet.
"Sabertoothe..." he knocked Sabertoothe to the ground and cut Rogue loose with his claws. Sabertoothe however, got up and kicked wolverine
down. Meanwhile Blob went after Rogue, but was unsupectedly thrown threw the wall, leaving a gaping hole. The rest of the brotherhood intelligently
fled in surprise. Rogue collapsed to the floor in exhaustion. Meanwhile Sabertoothe and Wolverine had continued their bitter battle outside. They
were constantly slamming eachother against the building, throwing, ripping at eachother. Sabertoothe had just bashed wolverine against the building
(again) when Wolverine noticed the whole building was about to collapse. He jumped over Sabertoothe, leaving him in a pile of bricks, grabbed Rogue
just in time to escape the tumbling building.
-Back at the Mansion-
"Ah'm fine professor." Rogue assured him.
"Good, cerebro has detected an uprising by the brotherhood. Its not like them to be so public, we could be walking into a trap. Xmen I want you assembled in
the X van in 15 minutes"
Wolverine interjected, "10! If Sabertoothe's a part of this Im gonna tear him limb from limb."
The Xmen seperated to go get ready. Scott went up to Rogue and handed her a box.
"Here this is what I wanted to give you after school today." he walked away to get ready.
Rogue smiled when she opened the box, it was a uniform. (just like the one on the show)
-Downtown-
The Xmen contended in their most fearsome battle yet. Sabertoothe was not present however. Blob faced Wolverine. Jean and Spyke double teamed
Quicksilver. Kitty was able to defeat Toad with some help from Scott. Rogue and Nightcrawlert were at a stand still with Avalanche cause he hand made the
earth cave in around them until Nightcrawler teleported and knocked Avalanche off his feet. Cloaked the disguise of an old woman Mystique watched on in disgust.
Finally she called for the brotherhood to retreat. The battle was over, the Xmen had won for the day.
-Mansion, post battle-
Professor X congratulated his team, "Xmen I just wanted to congratulate you on tonights victory. All of you displayed some impressive teamwork. I do feel though that this is
just round one. Get some sleep tommorow is a school day."
-Brotherhoods hideout, post battle-
Toad was nervous after the battle"Sorry Mystique we..."
Mystique laughed.
Quicksilver was baffled, "How could you not be upset about our pittiful defeat."
Mystique explained, "Cheer up Pietro, tonight was just scam, with Xavier concentrating on the riot I was able to acess some important information from Cerebro. Our orginization's leader
will be very pleased"
"But what about Rogue getting away?" Avalanche inquired.
"A minor set back." Mystique's smile faded. "Now you all should go home, get some sleep tommorows a school day."

~X-MEN EVOLUTION 2000~
part. 2 - battlefront
It has been over two weeks since Rogue changed her mind and decided to join the X-men. During these two weeks Rogue
has been working to control her new powers night and day and the professor has been penetrating Rogue's mind so that
Ms. Marvel will be scilenced for a longer period of time. She has the super strength thing down, but the flying has not been coming well
and she has fallen many times trying it. The professor has convinced her not to try it again for awhile, for it may not have transfered
with Ms. Marvel's other powers. Rogue's still evidently detatched from the rest of the group. She has not attended school
since the incident. However, at Xaiver's request she will return tommorow.
"Spyke are you there?"
Spyke pressed the speak button on his intercom, "Jean?"
"Where have you been, you missed dinner, Storm was starting to worry..."
"Tell my aunt she shouldn't ever worry about me, I can take care of myself. Uh sorry bout dinner, guess I just lost track of time
skateboarding. I'll head back asap" Spyke replied.
Spyke grinded the railing of a flight of stairs and did a kickflip off; followed by a series of impressive ariel trickes. He loved just
busting tricks on his skateboard. It kept his mind off the pressures of school, sports, and being a mutant. Not wanting Storm to
get anymore upset with him for being late, he decided to try a shortcut thru an alley way.
As he entered the alley way he heard some yelling. Skating closer he saw two figures. One he recongnized from school as Todd
Tolensky (toad), the other looked monstorous and vicious. He had long blonde hair,sharp teeth, and claws. Knowing something was
definatley up Spyke hid behind a large trash can.
He could overhear some of their conversation:
"Uh Mystique told me to...uh tell ya she wanted to see you asap."
"grrrrr..."
"Uh thats all Im suppose to tell ya big guy, so I guess I'll just be headin-"
(Sabertoothe grabs Toad's arm tightly)
"yikes!"
"grrr...tell Mystique that if she wants to see me she knows where to find me."
"Well ya see I think its kinda um important and that it has to do-
"grrrrrrr."
Spyke was still crouched down several feet away, he whispered into his intercom, "This is Spyke anyone there?"
"Spyke, Its Kurt vwhat-
"shhh, keep your voice down man. Im in an alley way off Salem Circle. Somethings up, Tolensky and this other guy are at
the end of the alley, the other person's a big guy, tall blonde, looks like a freakin animal or-
"sabertooth?!"
"shhhhhhhhh! ya he looks like a sabertoothe alright. Im hidin behind this dumpster trying to pick up whats going on, if I move they'll
see me."
"Spyke Im gonna get help vright away; careful Sabertoothe's trouble,Wolverine and him fought...Spyke? Spyke you there?
Sabertoothe wrapped his claws around Spyke's throat, "grrr.."
(he used his other hand to crush Spyke's intercom)
Toad went to get a look at who Sabertoothe had caught, "Hey Daniels there a reason your behind a dumpster listenin to my business?"
"grrr shut-up." commanded Sabertoothe.
"certainly" toad responded by motioning that his lips were zipped.
Sabertoothe continued, "Now your gonna tell-"
*bamf*
Nightcrawler and Jean Grey appeared on the scene in full uniform, "Evan, Storms on her way. As for you," Jean looked at Sabertoothe
"let him go!"
"sure" Sabertoothe smiled as he lifted Spyke over his head. He was about to flaten him, by throwing him against a brick wall when Spikes
came out Spyke's back, piercing Sabertoothe's skin. "I don't think so!" Spyke shouted.
Spyke fell into the dumpster, hitting his head on the side. Sabertoothe knelt to the ground in pain.
Meanwhile, Toad lunged at nightcrawler, who teleported out of the way. Toad continued to chase him onto an apartment building's fire
escape ladder. Kurt winked at Jean and led Todd up the ladder all the way to the roof. Once on the roof Kut teleported and Jean used her
telepathy to remove the ladder. Thus trapping Toad on the roof. Next Sabertoothe, no longer in pain yet pissed, went after Jean. She put
up a phsyic sheild to protect herself. But she couldn't hold it and he finally broke through...
"Im gonna enjoy this girly."
CRASH
A bolt of lightning landed inches away from where he was standing.
He looked up to see Storm hovering in the sky.
Storm landed in the opposite end of the alley; eyes white, "Prepare to face the wrath of Storm"
Sabertoothe growled and headed towards her.
She sent him flying back with a strong gust of wind. He landed just short of a brick wall. Storm then blasted the bricks so that they burried him.
"Quickly that will not hold him long, Kurt teleport Spyke back home, I'll fly Jean." She instructed to the others.
- The Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters -
"What was Sabertoothe doing with Todd Tolensky?"
"I don't know professor, did you over hear why Evan?" answered Storm.
"Something about Mystique wanting him, but the dude didn't say why or anything like that." replied Spyke.
"Odd, very odd indeed." mused professor Xavier.
(enter Wolverine)
"Sniff, Sniff" Wolverine unleashed his claws, "Sabertoothe."
Storm explained, "Today Spyke had an encounter with him, and he overheard him talking to Toad. Somehow he's connected to Mystique. But we don't
know quite what his connection with her is. I was lucky to be able to stop his attack today....Logan? Logan where are you going?"
"Gonna find that scum bag and get some answers. Its not like him to be working for Mystique, somethings up and I don't like it."
Professor X was the first to protest, "Logan may I suggest that-
The door slammed and the sound of Logan's motorcycle starting echoed throughout the mansion.
- Later that night, the Danger room -
"Looks like Rogue's putting your obstacle course to shame Scott." Jean commented looking out the window at the danger room.
Scott pressed the voice button to the danger room intercom, "Ok, Rogue it's late, I think thats all I can come up with tonight."
Rogue nodded and made her way up to the control room.
Jean greeted her, "Wow Rogue you did a great job, I was just telling Scott that his obstacle course was no match for you."
Rogue just headed out the door, ignoring her praise.
She was about to head into the locker rooms when Scott called out after her, "Hey Rogue wait up."
"What do you want?" Rogue asked.
"Hey I got a suprise for you, after school tommorow meet me by the flag pole (there was a pause) okay?"
"fine, now will ya lemme go get changed?" she replied not sounding at all excited.
"great." scott said, heading back down the hall.
- The Brotherhood's current hideout -
"Thats what happened Mystique, I swear, ."
"You better not be lying Toad or I'll have you fried...I won't let the X-men get in my way. "
Todd then hopped off, he knew it what best to stay out of Mystique's way when she was angry.
"Oh and Toad!" He truned around right away. "Was Rogue at school today."
He looked down and mumbled, "No."
"Blast! Xavier is doing a good job of keeping her out of my reach. I will not allow her to join the X-men, I cannot allow
it! Toad I want you to keep an eye out for her. If she does return convince her to turn away from the X-men. Got it?"
"Gottcha." Toad answered and then hopped away.
"I will get her back, mark my words Xavier...you will pay for this." Mystique vowed to herself.
- Xaiver's School for the gifted, Kitty's room -
*bamf*
"KURT?!"
"hey Kitty."
"Don't you like hey kitty me after you come teleporting in my room uninvited, I mean what if I was like gettin dressed or something.
Geez! I have a door ya know?"
"Sorry Kitty I'll knock next time, I was just wondering if vyou could tell me how to work the internet sometime. I mean vwe vwent to the
computer lab in geography today and I didn't know how to turn the thing on ha!"
"Ok Kurt Ill teach during lunch tommorow if I don't have band, but only if you give me a rematch in that tagging game we played w/Logan
I was so gonna win."she said making a face.
"ya vright! vyou got it Kitty, night."
*bamf*
"I hate it when he does that! What he needs is a lesson in using a door . Has he like ever used one in his life?!" Kitty commented to herself.
- The Next Morning -
Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep
"Ugh,Vwhat time is it?.....7:04!"
Kurt, aka: Nightcrawler had slept in late by accident due to his anticipation for his computer lesson with Kitty. He had a crush on her from
the moment she joined the X-men. At that time he firightened her, but not anymore now he had a computer lesson with her! He was
perhaps more excited than he ought to be, considering it wasn't a real date or even close to it...
He got up, went to the bathroom, and then pressed the button to his holographic visualizer. It was now about 7:20- 15min till first bell! (at 7:35)
Next in haste, he teleported down to breakfast. He noticed the only other student there was Rogue, who was almost done scarfing down bagle.
She was in her usual attire: boots, black leather glooves, the white face powder, etc. etc.
"Kurt, late again?"
"Sorry Storm."
"You better hurry if your gonna catch the bus! That goes for you to Rogue."
(Storm exits.)
"Ah think Ah'd rather walk." Rogue declared to no one in paticular as she got up from the table.
"I can give you a ride ferline." suggested Nightcrawler.
"Really? Oh ya mean poofing me dere or telepoting, whatever ya call it. Sorry ah'll pass"
"Oh come on vyou like fraid of tryin it or something."
"Ah aint afraid, (he didn't look convinced) fine Ah'll try the stupid thing, what do ah do?"
"Just hold on to me." Nightcrawler said holding out his hand.
Rogue grabbed her bookbag and then took his hand hesitantly.
*bamf* (they landed under the bleachers)
"Volia!" Nightcrawler stated proudly seeing the awe in her eyes.
"Oh uh thanks, it was fun." Rogue said softly as she walked towards the school.
"Rogue vwait." (she stopped) "I was like vyou once alone, ashamed..." he trailed off.
"Ashamed of a power like that?" Rogue joked.
"Pretty unbelivable huh?"
Rogue laughed.
Then the bell rang and Rogue rushed off leaving a semi confused Kurt behind.
Kurt thought to himself:
"Did a just make joke around with the Rogue? Did the Rogue just laugh? whoo...weird" He decided he'd try to talk to her more in French class.
*bamf*
he teleported to the door of his english class still surprised.
"Little late today Kurt?" Kitty asked as he tried to enter class quietly.
"Thats another tardy Kurt, your second of the week, one more and I'll be seeing you in detention, is that clear?"
"Yes Mrs. Charleston." Kurt answered politely, a little embarassed.
He took his seat in front of Kitty and then turned around and whispered, "Kitty you'll never guess who has a sense of humor."
"Kurt turn around your like already in trouble-" Kitty began lecturing.
"The Rogue!" he exclaimed, unable to contain himself.
"Like no way, only if you include wearing those boots as a sense of humor."
Mrs Charleston had enough,"Kathryn Pryde perhaps you can tell me the pronoun in this sentence instead of chit chatting!"
"Sorry Mrs. Charleston(she threw Kurt a mean glance) the pronoun would be Anna." replied Kitty.
"Do you have any questions Kurt?"Mrs. Charleston asked with an irritated tone.
Kurt thought for a moment then smiled, "Ya like vwhen do we get to vwatch a movie?"
The whole class laughed and Kitty threw Kurt another mean glance.
- 8:00A.M., Mr. Martino's 1st pd. algebra 2 class -
Rogue didn't really like any of her classes, but she hated her Algebra 2 class with a passion. It was about halfway into the period and she had
just decided to enter.
Her teacher, Mr. Martino greeted her "Well well what do we have here, I guess I shouldn't complain that your extremley tardy, atleast you actually
showed up for once. Now take your seat were going over quadratic equations."
Rogue took her seat. She could here two girls behind her:
"Look the dark demon girl's here. I figured she must of got herself expelled or something"
"Ya like maybe she took some time off to learn how to speak."
Rogue blocked the girls behind her and said nothing.
"So if you put the original equation in standard form you will get, A squared +52 = C, next you'll need to find..."
She blocked Mr. Martino's boring lesson out of her head and said nothing.
"You going to the game tonight, Dirk, Ill be there?"
She blocked out the girl and boy flirting in front of her and said nothing.
Todd Tolensky sat to the left of her, she could hear him constantly whispering her name.
She blocked out Todd's voice and said nothing.
RIIINNNGG!
Rogue got up at the sound of the bell along with the other kids and said nothing.
Biology was just as bad, Rogue had to get her French book out of her locker for next (3rd) period. She headed towards her locker, surprised that she
remembered the combo she opened it. Just then she felt someone coming up behind her.
...dialogue Toad & Rogue...
T: "Hey Rogue whats with ignoring me during math?"
R: "What do ya wantTodd? Tired of picking flies out of the trash can?"
T: "Ya know, your actually pretty smart."
R: "excuse me?"
T: "Going to the X-men to spy on them, get some info for Mystique. I'm jealous, really."
R: "Thats not why Im there."
T: "Then why are you there? Don't tell me you actually want to join...I thought you were tougher than that. You gonna be one of Xaiver's students, get straight
A's, obey all the rules, fight for justice.
Rogue slammed her locker door almost breaking it and walked away angrily. Toad smiled, he had touched a nerve.
- 3rd period, Madame Shafer's French class -
Rogue sat in the very back of her French class. She saw Kurt wave at her, but she just kinda ignored him. She was mad at Todd, well not Todd exactly, she was
mad at what he had said. It was true she had betrayed the brotherhood when she went to Xavier's. But Todd didn't know crap, Mystique had betrayed her! Well
sorta...she wasn't gonna go straight edge and become an order obeying dweeb. But did becomming and X-man, mean she had to become all that other stuff too.
RIIINNNG!
The bell rang and class was over before she knew it. Rogue could hear Madame Shafer yelling, "auvoir." as she got up from her seat.
Nightcrawler had waited by the door for her.
"Comming to lunch ferline, took ya long enough to get out of class know?, you must of been stunned from that all so exciting french class."
Rogue watched as Todd walked by and made a face at her, "Ya must of...uh I gotta go get some make up work."
Nightcrawler watched her walk away, "Ok don't forget danger room session 2:00..." -that didn't go to well..he thought to himself.
Kurt suddenly looked at the clock "oh my lesson w/ Kitty!" he looked around to see if anyone was around.
*bamf*
- Lunch time -
Scottt Summers was running late to lunch. It had taken longer than he had expected to clean up his lab in physics. As he walked into the cafateria he looked at the
table the X-men usually sat at. He couldn't find Nightcrawler or Kitty anywhere. He noticed Rogue was sitting where she had always sat even before she joinned the
X-men; in the table in the left corner. He wanted her to be more part of the group and sit with the team, but since there was no team to sit with today he would hold his
tongue. Finally, he found Jean at the popular table. Sitting next to her on the right side was Brad, Bayville High's star football quaterback and his friends. On her left side
was another cheerleader and across from her was Vinnie, the school newspaper editor. The last seat on the left of the table was open so Scott decided to sit.
"Hey Scott." greeted Jean.
"Summers." greeted Brad in a less upbeat tone.
Lunch went by pretty quickly and Scott spent all of his social efforst in one conversation with Vinnie, about how far the school newspaper should be allowed to go. Scott
couldn't help but notice how Brad constantly was flirting with Jean. Although him and Jean were not dating or anything they were very close and to see her with another
guy exspecially Brad made his blood boil.
"Hey Jean wanna go get ready for class?" an overirritated Scott asked.
"Sure Scott, I'll see you at the game tonight Brad."
The pair went to their lockers to grab there books.
"Where was everyone at lunch today Jean?"
"Rogue I saw there...and I think Kitty was suppose to be helping Kurt in the computer lab."
Scott laughed, "Im pretty sure I already taught Kurt everything you need to know about the computer."
Jean joined him in laughing, "Poor Kitty. Oh no! I forgot my Journalism article at lunch."
"You want me to come with you to get it?"
"No thats okay, you better head to english, see if you can talk to Rogue about lunch ."
Jean started heading down the hall, "Oh and Scott, umm are you gonna come to the game tonight?"
Scott sighed, "Ya right, remember what happened last time I went to a game."
Jean frowned, "You should come." Then she headed to the cafateria.
Ya I should come so I can see you flirt with that jerk Brad. Scott thought about the last time he went to a football game. The huge scene he had caused sticking
up for Toad who had run into a rut with Brad. He couldn't just let Brad beat the guy up so he interceeded on Toads behalf. To make a long story short the glasses
ended up coming off and things blew up. Creating a scene the professor had to erase form everyone's minds. Jean was there. She had restored to Scott his
glasses, then gone with Brad to the hospital...Scott sighed again, time to go to class.
- 4th period, Mr. Flemmings AP Literature class -
Scott came to class right as the bell rang. He frowned, when he noticed that Rogue was not there. He sat down as the school announcements came on, they came on
everyday at the start of 4th period.
Scott focused his attention off of the fact that Rogue wasn't there and on to the announcements coming over the loud speaker.
"Come support Bayville High as we take on the Wildcats tonight! So far our team record is 6 wins and 2 losses..alright football team! Were on our way to a region title and
hopefully the state championship! "
"Homecomming is less than a month a way and to make it great we need your help! Drop off your ideas in the suggestion box located by the concession stand at tonights game."
Rogue entered quietly, ignoring the glances she was getting from Mr. Flemmings and the rest of the class. She sat at her seat which was right in front of Scott.
"Attention all Drama club members, a meeting will be held today, meet in the thearter at 3:30. That concludes your Thursday afternoon announcements."
One of Scott's friends (who sat to the left of rogue) leaned over and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Check out who's returned from the dead!" everyone around him started laughing.
Rogue clenched her fists.
Another person chimed in "Maybe we can get her to talk to us if we all dress up in face paint."
More laughter. Scott spoke up, "Chill out guys, thats not nessecary." He quickly changed the subject, "Anybody do last night's reading."
"While were actually discussing last night's reading," Mr. Flemmings pointed out, "Are you starting to see how anyone can relate to Shakespear's work?"
Scott was still working on Mr. Flemming's in class, due by the end of the period essay on which one of shakespear's characters you identify most with when the
bell rang. He scribbled down: So in conclusion I find that I can actually relate to Hamlet's experiences with bad luck, although not on such a tragic level. "Whew!"
he sighed, finally relieving his stress of turning the paper in on time. He was last to leave the class.
- 5th period, Ms. Diggs Earth Science Class -
Kurt and Evan were lab partners for the mineral invetigation lab the class was doing today. It was nice having other X-men in class with you.
"Whats up Kurt, you seem like your minds teleported out of your body." Evan asked as he picked out the granite from the dirt sample.
"Vwell, my lesson vwith Kitty didn't go so well. She brought her vfriend Doug vwho's a cool guy, but all they vwould talk about was computers
and band. I couldn't get like vone vword in, I didn't even find out if she's going to the game tonight. I don't think she likes me, not that I blame her..."
Evan tried to comfort his friend, "Don't worry man. You just need to relax of course she was talkin about computers you guys were in the computer
lab. You need to invite her somewhere better than the computer lab."
"Ya maybe vyour vright." Kurt looked at his watch, "We better hurry up and finish this before vwe run outta time."
Just then Pietro Maximoff (aka: Quicksilver and Spyke's rival) walked by. He was headed to the closet to put his lab gear away-he was finished.
"Little slow there Daniels, but then again maybe I'm just too fast for you."
"Yeah whatever." Evan replied, obviously annoyed.
"Too fast for you and not just at completing labs." satisfied with getting his kicks in Pietro continued his route to the closet and Kurt/Evan rushed
to finish their lab.
RRIIINNNGGG!
Rogue put away the tissue paper she had been using on her art project. She was running a bit late for her appointment with Scott, but figured if it was
really important he'd wait. Luckily she had broght everything she needed to art and didn't need to go to her locker. She decided it would be best to go through
the cafeteria then take the exit at the end small hallway in the drama area to get outside, rather than the main hallway. She put on her green hooded cloak.
As she entered the small hallway Rogue was deep in thought about what Scott could possibly want. She didn't notice the group of three girls and a guy
walking in a chain like formation, that blocked anyone trying to get through. The girls in the line were all three at once complimenting and flirting and giggling
with the guy like he was a rock star. They didn't notice the person coming right at them till it was too late. Rogue walked right into Sue a trendy chinese
gril on the end.
CRASH
Rogue had practically run her over due to her superstrength. The guy had helped Sue up when a dazed Rogue finally began to get up. The guy
thought Rogue was also a guy probably because of the strength Rogue had displayed in knocking the girl over and the fact that the green cloak compleley
covered Rogue up from his angle. They guy stood above Rogue as she got up; he spoke.
"excuse me, but I t'ink dat ya should apologize ta her for being so rude."
Rogue just looked up at him, revealing fire in her green emerald eyes and that she was not a boy.
The guy looked stunned. He opened his mouth, "Sorr.." and then shut it again.
He was wearing sunglasses...like Scott did..Scott!..Rogue rushed by the guy who seemed to be in a trance or something to meet Scott.
But when she got to the flag pole Scott wasn't there. Fustrated she decieded to go to the nearby ice cream parlor. Unfortunatly Avalanche and
Quicksilver approached her. Rogue pulled out her intercom in case she would need help.
Pietro was the first to speak. "Rogue, or should I call you tratior of the month?" He quickly ran circles around her, taking the intercom out of her hand
before she could react.
"You two just leave me alone." Rogue started to run away off school grounds. But Quicksilver easily kept up with her . He spoke as he ran "We understand
that you weren't quite yourself so were gonna give you one last chance to come back to the brotherhood, then we wont give you anymore trouble..."
Rogue stopped running and glared at him "Eat dirt."
Just then the ground beneath her rumbled and she lost her balance and fell hard on her head, hitting the concreate road.
"Eat concreate" Pietro gave a thumbs up to avalanche who had caught up w/ them.
Rogue awoke with her hands tied behind her back moments later to Blob, Toad, Avalanche, and Quicksilver standing over her.
She didnt know where she was, inside somewhere...she could hear them talking:
Pietro: "Mystique and our new business associate should be hear any moment."
Avalanche: "Who is this guy, mystique sent you for Toad? Is he strong?
Toad: "I'd say he was big I mean the guy could-."
Blob: "Not as strong as me, no one's as strong as me."
Pietro: "Stop squabbling, it looks like sleeping beauty is awake."
Suddenly a tall monsterous creature entered the room. He was big with long light brown hair and black eyes. He looked more like an
animal than a person, knda like Wolverine. His voice was more of a dark growl than a voice
"grrr is this the girl."
"wheres Mystique?" asked Blob suspiciously.
Sabertoothe meet his suspicious stare with a more threartening one, "grrr she wants you to meet her at this location" he handed them
a slip of paper, "wants you to start a riot or something and dont ever question me again boy grrr." Intimitaded Blob took the paper and backed off.
Sabertoothe redirected his eyes at Rogue and started to walk towards her.
"grrr and tell Mystique that she owes me the-
Just then Wolverine jumped through a glass window, shattering glass everywhere and landed on his feet.
"Sabertoothe..." he knocked Sabertoothe to the ground and cut Rogue loose with his claws. Sabertoothe however, got up and kicked wolverine
down. Meanwhile Blob went after Rogue, but was unsupectedly thrown threw the wall, leaving a gaping hole. The rest of the brotherhood intelligently
fled in surprise. Rogue collapsed to the floor in exhaustion. Meanwhile Sabertoothe and Wolverine had continued their bitter battle outside. They
were constantly slamming eachother against the building, throwing, ripping at eachother. Sabertoothe had just bashed wolverine against the building
(again) when Wolverine noticed the whole building was about to collapse. He jumped over Sabertoothe, leaving him in a pile of bricks, grabbed Rogue
just in time to escape the tumbling building.
-Back at the Mansion-
"Ah'm fine professor." Rogue assured him.
"Good, cerebro has detected an uprising by the brotherhood. Its not like them to be so public, we could be walking into a trap. Xmen I want you assembled in
the X van in 15 minutes"
Wolverine interjected, "10! If Sabertoothe's a part of this Im gonna tear him limb from limb."
The Xmen seperated to go get ready. Scott went up to Rogue and handed her a box.
"Here this is what I wanted to give you after school today." he walked away to get ready.
Rogue smiled when she opened the box, it was a uniform. (just like the one on the show)
-Downtown-
The Xmen contended in their most fearsome battle yet. Sabertoothe was not present however. Blob faced Wolverine. Jean and Spyke double teamed
Quicksilver. Kitty was able to defeat Toad with some help from Scott. Rogue and Nightcrawlert were at a stand still with Avalanche cause he hand made the
earth cave in around them until Nightcrawler teleported and knocked Avalanche off his feet. Cloaked the disguise of an old woman Mystique watched on in disgust.
Finally she called for the brotherhood to retreat. The battle was over, the Xmen had won for the day.
-Mansion, post battle-
Professor X congratulated his team, "Xmen I just wanted to congratulate you on tonights victory. All of you displayed some impressive teamwork. I do feel though that this is
just round one. Get some sleep tommorow is a school day."
-Brotherhoods hideout, post battle-
Toad was nervous after the battle"Sorry Mystique we..."
Mystique laughed.
Quicksilver was baffled, "How could you not be upset about our pittiful defeat."
Mystique explained, "Cheer up Pietro, tonight was just scam, with Xavier concentrating on the riot I was able to acess some important information from Cerebro. Our orginization's leader
will be very pleased"
"But what about Rogue getting away?" Avalanche inquired.
"A minor set back." Mystique's smile faded. "Now you all should go home, get some sleep tommorows a school day."
