A/N: Hey you all! I'm sorry for taking so long to update but my computer had serious problems so we had to get the whole thing wiped. Thanks for all that reviewed. I have two chapters already written and I'm working on the sixth one as well. Well.. Here is chapter four!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is so juvenile, though Kitty as she sat through another pointless debate session. She rested her head in her hand on the couch.

"The situation screams Lance," said Jean. Kitty rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, he wasn't in his room when Jamie disappeared," Scott added.

"Because he was with me!" Kitty interjected. Her sudden anger startled everyone in the room. Jean threw up her hands and opened her mouth.

"So-"

"So what?" Kitty interrupted. "This is serious! People are missing! What we need to do is search for the missing kinds and find where there are." Jean threw up her hands again.

"Well I already know who-"

"Shut up Jean," said Rogue. "She's right, besides this is lamer than watching you take twelve years to brush your hair." Rogue got up and left the room with Kitty following.

"The nerve of her!" Kitty screeched as she caught up with Rogue. Rogue couldn't help but laugh at the brown haired mutant.

"Yeah, Jean just thinks that she is always the right one," Rogue agreed.

"I'm going to find out what happened to them," Kitty declared.

"Are you sure? All by yourself?" Rogue asked.

"Well no.." Kitty said nervously. "I thought you would help."

"What?" Rogue protested. "Whatever gave you that idea?"

"Please!" Kitty pleaded.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because I don't want to."

"But you'll get to prove Jean wrong."

"Ok. I'm in." Kitty squealed with joy and frolicked over to Lance's room to ask him to help her.

That night, Rogue woke up in a sweat. She looked over to her roommate Kitty and saw her sound asleep. I wish I was her, thought Rogue. She then looked at the clock, it was 1:30 am Lance agreed to help Kitty to investigate the missing mutants but they weren't going to do any real investigating until the next day.

Rogue got up and went down to the kitchen to get a glass of milk. Feeling lazy, she drank straight from the carton.

"What are you doing?" Said a voice. Rogue stopped drinking and set the carton down. She looked at the owner and rolled her eyes. It was Roberto.

"What are you doing?" He repeated.

"Something," said Rogue. She was not in the mood to deal with his cockiness.

"Clean people like me don't do things like that," he said overconfident.

"Are you calling me unclean?" Rogue demanded.

"In a way, yes," he replied. Rogue rolled her eyes and left the kitchen. She turned the corner and bumped into a big figure.

"Logan," She whined. "I'm so sick of this." Rogue couldn't make out the face since it was so dark.

"Logan?" She asked. There a was a fast movement and Rogue felt the gloved hand smack into her throat. It caught her off guard. He began to tighten his grip and Rogue struggled to get her gloves off. He pressed her against the wall and lifted her up. Rogue began to feel dizzy. Unable to make a noise, she flew her legs in all different directions. Her leg connected with something and the figure let Rogue go. Rogue hit the ground and took off. She let out a scream and Roberto erupted out of the kitchen. Unable to power up, he launched his arrogant self onto the figure. Rogue turned around and saw Roberto trying to stop the figure. The figure took something out of his coat and stabbed Roberto with it. Roberto went limp and collapsed on the ground. Rogue gulped and took off again.

"Professor!" She screamed as she turned a corner. She reached his door and pounded on it. The door opened and the professor gave Rogue a questioning look.

"Rogue?" He asked. "What is it?"

"That guy!" She said breathless. "He attacked me and but I got free and he stabbed Roberto with something!" She looked behind her and the figure was nowhere to be seen. From down the hall, a scream was heard. Rogue backed up into the professor's room. A few moments later, Ray Crisp, Amara Aquilla, Kitty Pryde, and Lance Alvers came running to the professor.

"Some guy with a red face took Jubilation, Rahne, Samuel and Tabitha!" Amara said, exhausted (OK, let's pretend that Tabitha never left). The professor could tell that Amara and Ray had used their powers.

"I charged him but it did no good," explained Ray.

"Why are you here Kitty?" Xavier asked.

"I heard the commotion," began Kitty. "And I noticed that Rogue was gone so I phased out of room. Lance was already out there and I caught a glimpse of his red face when Amara threw a fireball at him."

"He probably took Roberto with him as well," said Rogue. She was wide awake and sitting on the floor with her knees on her chin.

"This matter has become serious," said Xavier.
