"Where is he, how hard is it to get a few items?" Danielle yelled as she paced back and forth on her marble floor.
"Mistress, Patience is a virtue," Medusa said calmly sitting on Danielle's bed in all her black glory.
"Not in this instance it is, god what is taking him so… Sabertooth" She stopped pacing and strode to Sabertooth who just walk in and grabbed the box underneath his arm. It immediately dropped since it was heavy.
"Mistress" Medusa exclaimed as she waved her hands in the air freezing the box in mid fall. "Sabertooth don't just stand there like a big buffoon, grab it and set it on the table," she said commandingly. He growled at her and followed her directions.
Medusa reached into the box and brought out a very big axe. She placed it down in Danielle's hands. Danielle placed it down on the floor leaning on the bedpost.
"I not only want to kill them I want their powers so this never happens ever again, with their powers gone they will slowly die and I will be the most powerful mutant of them all." Danielle said turning around and facing her mirror. Malcolm looked at her, and she smiled evilly.
"Tell me mirror in all it's woe, where are the glass gems of Minnow" She recited.
Sabertooth looked at Medusa questioningly. She grumbled but understood and complied.
"The glass gem of Minnow can steal a mutant's power, which kills that mutant slowly, and gives the stolen power to another mutant. The woe part was that over one million mutants were killed when Minnow made them that's why he only made three," She said a-matter-factly, Sabertooth nodded his head and looked at the mirror. Who had just received the answer, he began to speak.
"Three fine gems that were made, but to make them such a price was paid.
Glass gem one shattered be, by an oath named Antony"
Danielle looked quizzically at Medusa. "Antony, Minnow's brother was very clumsy," Medusa said simply. Danielle nodded and looked back at her mirror.
"Glass gem two is on a bed,
With barnacles at its head."
"That one fell into the Baltic, mistress" Medusa supplied again. She nodded once again
"What you seek has not been seen,
Since it was stolen by the white queen!" Malcolm finished.
"Medusa, find out who this white queen is and go to her and retrieve my gem!" Danielle hollered. Medusa bowed and walked out of the room. "And you Sabertooth we have a lot to do, I need some ingredients for our some of your old acquaintances" Danielle said taking a shiny red apple out of the box.

"That Danger Room session was killer, literally," Kurt said bamphing downstairs after changing out of his uniform. He was munching on potato chips, as he jumped onto the couch. Rogue walked downstairs, helped by Kitty and Remy.
"How many times do ah have ta tell ya'll ah am fahne" she said pulling her hands away.
"Okay den why don' ya walk down dis stairs wit out gaspin' in pain ey chere" Remy said crossing his arms.
Rogue smirked, nodded, and began down. When she hit the first step she gasped in pain, she clutched her stomach, and stumbled. Remy's hands shoot out quick as lightning and caught her.
"See" he simply replied as he helped her down the remaining stairs. A boy laughed from the top of the stairs. Kitty looked at him and hit his arm.
"Travis, for once, like, shut up." Kitty said phasing down the stairs. Remy chuckled slightly.
"What I say?" he said, jumping on the banister and sliding down it. "You cripples got to speed it up" Travis teased. Travis Schumann was a new student, with the power to take the form of any animal. While in that form, have their abilities, communicate with them, and people. He was constantly in training sessions with Logan and Rogue and had reached their fighting level. He and Rogue had gotten close, and now had a brother-sister bond, as well as one with Kurt. Travis had short, spiked brown hair. He had cat like eyes giving away his mutant linage. With the eyes, he had the sight of cat being able to see long distances and in the dark. He wore black baggy pants, and big red billa bong shirt and whit and blue Phat Farm shoes.
"Hey why weren't ya in tha session?" Rogue asked quizzically ignoring his teasings, until a latter time.
"My powers flared outta control again and I got stuck in cheetah form. scared Xavier half ta death, I wonder what would happen if I scared Xavier half ta death twice?" Travis said his mind wondering at the end as it tended to do.
"Again, aren't ya worried ya powahs mahght be evolvin' Trav" Rogue said concerned. Remy's eyes flared a little redder than usual as he looked at Travis.
"No worries, I mean what can my ability evolve to ya know" he dismissed the subject and jumped on the couch next to Kurt.
"Are you guys ready for school," Scott said walking down the hall from the Kitchen.
"Ahh, tha joys o' bein' crippled" Rogue said smiling.
"Like, No way. You, like, don't have to, like, go to school?" Kitty said grabbing her back pack.
"Lahke, I know it's lahke totalah, unfair" she said mimicking her valley girl friend. Despite how they teased each other, they were the best of friends, both knowing the full weight of the masks they wear. Kitty smiled before she followed everyone to Scotts car.
"Finally alone ey chere" Remy said sitting closer to Rogue. "Finally pays ta not have ta attend school" he said putting his arm around Rogue's shoulder.
"Hey, ya guys ah wanna learn too, wait up" Rogue said jumping up with brand new vigor. Remy chuckled.

*Hellfire Club*
Medusa stood near the bar, drinking a glass of wine. She surveyed the club, looking for someone of authority.
"Hey are your from Tennessee?" The man next to her asked her, obviously drunk.
"No, why" she said boredom etched all in her voice.
"Cuz you're the only ten I see," he said smiling while leaning on the bar.
Medusa smiled and got closer to him, she brought her hands up around his neck. He smiled, she looked into his hands and breathed into his face, a pink cloud came from her breathe and he breathed it in. His eyes rolled into the back of his head as he fell over on the ground. Medusa looked down at him and held her hand over him. His body glowed yellow as all that color went into her hand. She opened her eyes; yellow was in the white of her eye being absorbed into her iris. She smiled as she waved her hand in front of her as she freezes all the humans in the club. She looked up at a window as people looked out and stared at her.
"Let the fun begin," she said with a half smirk. She worked her way through the people frozen in mid dance. Some were frozen in the air, the buffoons who started jumping. Medusa came to a door guarded by a man who didn't freeze. He looked at her with no fear. A mistake she was sure to rectify.
"Let me through" she said with authority.
"NO" the man yelled looking through her. She made a move to go past him. He grabbed her arm.
"What part of no don't you understand?" he said digging his nails into her skin. She merely smiled and squinted her eyes, as an invisible force flung him backwards.
"The non original part" she said smugly, opening the door and stepping inside.
"I'm looking for the Emma Frost," She yelled at the surprised people who sat in the plush room she had just entered.
"I am her" A full-bodied girl said, she was dressed in all white. Moreover, on her coat was a red and green glass flower.
"I see why they call you the White Queen then" Medusa said stepping closer.
"You have no idea why they call me the White Queen," Emma said icily. She brought her hands to her head.
"Telepaths have no effect on me," Medusa said rolling her eyes. She threw her hands in the air and Emma flew back stuck to the wall. She brought her other hand up and froze the people who were approaching her. "Honestly, after all the information I looked up, I thought you would be more of a challenge" she said matter a factly walking up to Emma, who was struggling on the wall. Emma smiled and diamond started forming around her body. Medusa looked happy as she witnessed the transformation. "Oh goody, the real fun begins" she smirked. Emma dropped down and high kicked towards Medusa's head. She easily blocked and dropped kicked her, tripping Emma. She stood and tried to stomp on Emma's torso. Her diamond exterior, though, quickly foiled those attempts. Emma thrust her hands to her sides as two diamond knives formed in her diamond covered hands. [A/n: I have no idea id Emma can do that but let us pretend she can in this story if she already can ignore this] Medusa smiled as she did a back flip and two ninja dagger appeared in her hands. Emma charged, she thrust her knife in Medusa's stomach, medusa jumped back and blocked with her swords. Emma turned and swiped her other knife at Medusa's head. She blocked easily kicking Emma's back and slamming her in the wall. Medusa smiled and throw her knifes at Emma. They went straight through her diamond-covered shoulders and pinned her through to the wall.
"I did my homework, dear Emma; all my weapons are sharpened to be able to slice easily through diamond. Now I want something you possess," Medusa said once Emma retracted her armor.
"The Hellfire club is not hiring," she said harshly. Medusa laughed merrily.
"Spoiled little brat you think that's why I'm here, no this is why" Medusa walked over to the helplessly dangling Emma and plucked her pin from her white fur coat, that was now stained with blood.
"That was a gift from my husband I demand you give it back," Emma said angrily.
"My dear queen you're in no position to demand anything," Medusa said walking out of the room. As soon as she was out the door, she waved her hands unfreezing everyone. Music blared again as if nothing had changed.
"A little help here" Emma screamed, as they had become unfrozen. The people helped her down. "Don't just stand there after her…now," she said still angry.
"After whom" a man asked near her.
"I…ohm don't remember, owww get the club doctor" she said calmly now feeling the pain in her shoulder.
Medusa smiled evilly. She walked out of the bar examining the flower closely.

*At Bayville High*
Rogue and Kitty walked through the halls, kids parted out of there ways, like Moses parting the red sea.
"It's pitiful, why spend and risk our lahves protecting these people, look how they repay us," Rogue said opening her locker and grabbing her books
"Yeah, like, I know, they avoid us, like, the plaque, I mean remember when they were our friends and now were, like, freaks, cuz we got powers, their, like, such hypocrites" Kitty said leaning against the lockers glaring back at the cheerleaders who past them.
"Don't bother overanalyzing it you guys, they just aren't used to change" Jean said approaching them.
"Pahlezze spar mah tha lecture, what are ya, posta child fer good kids America. tha next chance tha get, we'll be on a lap table bein' dissected. face it Jeanie where the human equivalent of labrats" Rogue harshly retorted.
"Rogue give them a chance" Jean pleaded
"Cuz thay gave us so many"
"They just need time to accept it"
"Thay don't need time, thay made up there minds and we are tha outcasts I just can't wait till it's there turn"
"What are you talking about"
"Think about jean we are the future not them, soona or lata homo-sapiens will be extinct and we'll be tha majority. magento's raght a war is comin, and it's either us or them now tell us Jean who are you gonna pick" Rogue said. The bell rang. Kids flooded into classes, Jean just looked at Rogue and than at Kitty.
"Like, Don't look at me, Jean, like, I think Rogue's, like totally right" Kitty said not meeting Jean's eye. Jean's face fell as she turned to Rogue.
"Red, I guess ya got sum real thinkin' ta do while in chem. Class" Rogue smirked walking off with Kitty. Jean turned around walking to her class her mind fully consumed with the decision.
"Rogue, like, that wasn't necessary. Jean was, like, only trying to, like, convince you and her that she was right" Kitty said staring at the ground.
Rogue knew she felt guilty, but that princess had to open her pretty green eyes of hers. All their worlds were falling apart all for chasing a dream that just might not happen. Rogue had her doubts but she would switch sides again. She saw how the other side worked and she didn't like it, at least her if she had doubts, she wouldn't be bereted for it by the professor. If she didn't want to be on the X-men she didn't have to, and the prof would still help her try and control her powers, he'd still let her board in his house, he would never exile her. She felt happy with the X-men.
"Ya think I don' know that Kit, Princess ovah there just needed a reality check," Rogue said stepping in her classroom with Kitty and taking there seats. Rogue sat and winced as pain shoot up her side. This is just ridiculous. She thought. Rogue closed her eyes in concentration sorting through her acquired powers, she sought out for Logan's healing factor. She felt a strange tingle of the powers surging through her body she was engulfed in it. She felt the pain in her knuckles. She opened her eyes, as a scream of pain escaped her lips. She bolted out of the classroom and into the deserted hallway. Three claws ejected from her knuckles spraying blood everywhere she fell to her knees as she cried softly at the pain. Blood dripped down the claws Kitty and Kurt rushed to her; they looked horrified at the claws and the blood dripping from them. Kurt grabbed hold of Rogue's covered arm and teleported them away. Kitty looked down at the blood and shivered, she touched the blood gingerly making it intangible and letting it sink into the foundation of the school. Kitty shivered again as she retracted her hand. She looked around and bolted back into her class. Thinking of a good excuse for her.
*AT the Institute*
The professor was enjoying a little time to himself, listening to the soothing voice, of The Flower Duet by Charlotte Church. He was finding her album Enchantment quite Enchanting, when he felt it. The cry of anguish from a nearby mutant, not just any mutant, one of his children. Rogue. He mentally scanned the area for her. He saw her in the Med Lab with Kurt. He wheeled his way down to the lower levels. He met up with Logan on his way there.
"The elf teleported, stripes with him. I smell blood and pain. But I also smell adamantium"[a/n: someone tell me how to spell that metal] he said seriously. Xavier looked confused but wheeled down there anyway.
He found Dr. McCoy, their resident doctor/teacher, tending to Rogue. Rogue was sprouting Logan's claws so to speak. Logan stepped back in shock. Rogue was passed out. The claws retracted making the familiar 'skint' Logan's did. The scars although did not heal as Logan's did. They remained and kept bleeding.
"What's happing Beast" Logan said stepping forward, his fatherly instincts kicking in. Ever since Rogue arrived, they bonded quickly, sharing a love for combat. They were sparing partners and equally matched, he liked that, Rogue was sassy, and independent, the exact definition of her name. Logan saw himself in her, he felt oddly compelled to shelter her from the horrific things his rebel-ness has caused him to witness. She was like a daughter to her, he'd hate to admit but he loved her, he had grew fond of all the mutant kids, but he knew for sure that he loved her, like a daughter.
"Her recent control over her powers has caused her powers to evolve. She now can call upon and use all the powers she has absorbed. It seems our Rogue is now a force to be reconed with." Dr. McCoy said getting used to dumbing-down his words so to speak.
"We knew this would happen when we took her in, she had the potential for limitless power, she has finally reached that stage, now we have to teach her to control her acquired powers" Professor Xavier said sighing and sitting back into his chair, in thought.
"There's something else," Dr. McCoy said mysteriously, looking down at his data.
"Well spit it out" Logan growled threateningly.
"Her blood work has changed, adjusted to her powers you might say, the powers are now etched into her DNA strands so theoretically, she has a slim choice that she might inherit certain traits from whomever she absorbed or will in any case" he said simply setting his papers down.
"Are you saying that she might get, for instance, Kurt's fur or 'Ro's skin color or hair color" Logan asked hollowly hoping it wouldn't be true.
"Yes presumably so" he said plainly as possible.
"Anything eles you'd like to drop on us Beast?" Loagn growled
"Actually" Logan threw his hands up in frustration, "She might have achieved the power to de-absorb as it seems" McCoy continued.
"Translation" Kurt piped in finally not quite understanding.
"Rogue might have the ability to pass power and or traits to other people through touch, giving them the power she acquired. She has the power to equip an army with powers, it makes her a very dangerous advisory and a very powerful ally" The blue furry Doctor defined for Kurt. The room grew silent as the new information sunk in.

Danielle waved her hands in the air. A rather large grey wolf appeared in front of her. She grabbed the wolf's mussel and held it firmly close to her face. She looked dead square into his eyes. She saw a slight glimmer of fear inside them she smiled.
"Listen to me right now" She barked at him commandingly. "You see this pretty red jacket," she said nodding towards a red jacket that looked like the one the scarlet witch wore often. "Find the girl who wears this and you have found your lunch." She squeezed the wolf's snout for good measure she knew it understood. "Now go and eat your prey," she said letting go of the wolf hardly. The wolf shook its nose and walked up the jacket sniffing it, and then it bolted out the door. Danielle smiled, she than made her way towards three pictures on the wall. She pulled one off the wall as she started at the next one.
"Hope you like apples Professor" she smiled evilly as she turned and left. Unknowingly stepping on the frowning picture of Wanda Maximoff.
