Chapter One: So we meet again
"We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence."

Blair Institute of Mutants, New New York Friday 27th March 2307
Nocturnal House
10.57 am
she watched the 'thing' with red eyes watch her, something about those eyes seemed familiar, but she would not get out of her fighting stance, her muscles were taunt, ready to do battle, and for some strange reason her focus was more on the stupid humans all making excited noises then the 'thing' standing before her. Nothing happened for a while, both mutants just watched each other, one with interest, the other with wariness, and Rogue was about to say something scathing when a much more familiar sound and smell greeted her ears...
Bamf
'Kurt' Rogue's heart quickened and slowly she turned her attention to the side of the red eyed mutant to see her brother, blue fur, yellow eyes, happy smile, she could feel her eyes prickly with tears, her breathing went shallower and she swallowed a lump in her throat, she didn't even realise that she was trembling, and with lightning quick movements the female mutant had thrown herself into her brothers arms, forgetting about trying to keep her tough girl attitude that had kept her alive on the streets and she clung to her brother as if he might disappear, and she repeated his name over and over.
"Mein Swvista" Kurt sighed and held his sister tightly, holding her up as her knees collapsed from under her, she was just so thin and looked so tired, and he was just so happy to see her, he hadn't believed it when he saw her, he thought she might be one of his hallucinations he continued to have ever since he came to this cursed place, but he could feel her, and he knew she was real. His ears twitched as the noise of the humans grew, he could hear some asking what was going on, and out of the corner of his eye he could see some of them trying to get a closer look, and that was when the man with red eyes stood in front of the humans view of brother and sister reuniting, giving them what little privacy they could. "Danke Remy, Danke" Remy nodded his head and watched them closely
"she be ok?" he asked, his voice betraying his background as being of Cajun descent and they both turned to Rogue as she gasped
"YOU!" she screeched, she had gone from weary, to blubbery to down right friggen angry, Remy smiled slyly
"me?" he asked trying to look innocent, he thought back to the day that Kurt had met him in this same place and it hadn't been too friendly, but spending around six months together in a strange environment can bring two people together in order to survive, the only strange thing that Remy found about this situation was that Rogue was the first female to come to the Nocturnal House.
Rogue tore herself from her brothers grasp and advanced on the Cajun who responded to her by pulling out a few rocks and charging them slightly, she stopped and smirked
"what no cards?" she asked, while slowly taking off a glove, this guy had almost blown her up and had been the cause of Kitty's and Lance's capture. The man glared at her and threw one of the rocks at her feet in warning, again their attention was drawn to the crowds of humans cheering on the fight as if it was some kind of show. Rogue, having had too much of an emotional day lost it and instead of lunging at Remy flung herself at the glass that separated the humans and the mutants. Rogue had no idea how she'd gotten so far across the room so quickly but she didn't care, and she began to claw at the glass, shooting curses at the humans and glaring at them. She saw some of them jump away and back up, as if she were contagious, but she was soon stopped by an electrical current that zapped through the glass and flung her backwards into Kurt's waiting arms. He shook his head and placed her back onto the ground.
"calm down Rogue, and let me explain about vats goink on here." Rogue's harsh breathing was her only reply. "vell, from vat I can tell ze vall over there haz ze same properties as ze rest of ze institute, vat I'm getting at iz ze vall haz a dampener on it, but the rest of ze room hasn't. do you understand?" Rogue sat there, still breathing but she nodded slowly, all the while Remy continued to watch the pair, but his eyes continued to scan the room as if waiting for an attack to come from somewhere.
"So what ya'll are sayin' is that in this here room we can all use our powers, but tha wall, window thing is a barrier or sorts?" at Kurts nod she quickly got to thinking 'with this knowledge we could form a plan, but it'll take meh some time ta git it goin'
"do ya know where tha othah's are?" Both Remy and Kurt looked at her and shook their heads. "well ah know that Jean, Scott, Kitty, Evan, Bobby and Jamie are tha x-men that are here, tha brotherhood are all here 'cept for tha adults-"
"vait, vhat happened to ze others?" Rogue was silent and her gaze was directed anywhere but at Kurt, she felt tears prickling at her eyes again, but refused to let them show.
"ah was tha last of 'em" again there was that eerily silence, apart from the audience that they had out side the window. "ah wonda if we could see ta anothah habitat" both boys looked at her for a moment before all three of them moved at one to the window, again all the humans stepped back as they approached the window, and careful not to touch the window they all looked out past it and to the left and right. What they saw was masses upon masses of humans all looking in to other glass windows, but they couldn't see anything over the humans heads
"ve'll have to vait until dark" both mutants nodded at Kurt and then followed him back to their spot.
Rogue sat there thinking, nothing was making sense to her, this whole thing was bizarre, first she gets put into some dark foresty jungly thing with a mutant that was supposed to be her enemy, she finds her brother in the same habitat, there is a wall that gives you electrical shocks if you try and move it, and to top it all off, humans were watching her every move as if she were some fascinating creature.
"you, Remy, whatever yoah name is, how long have ya been here?"
"'bout eight months, two by m'self, six wit' y' brot'er" Rogue nodded and continued to look around the large "outdoor" place of their habitat.
"if ah learn ta control mah powers, ah may be able ta form a plan..but ah'll need both of ya'll ta help meh" Kurt cocked his head to the side
"vat are you planning mein swvista?" Rogue grinned
"Ah'll tell ya when tha first stage is in ordah?"

The Plains
12.15 pm
the sun beat down on the only real outdoor habitat in the mutant institute, and it was huge, however the entire habitat was surrounded by clear x-gene dampeners, Peitro zipped up to Kitty who was sitting under a tree watching Jamie.
"hey-kitty-kat,-missing-Lance-again?" Kitty turned her chocolate brown eyes to him and scowled
"Like get lost Peitro, like don't you have someone else to like bother?" Peitro brushed past kitty and smirked sexily down at her
"but-your-the-only-one-that's-fun" Kitty rolled her eyes
"now I can like see why Rogue hated you" that stopped the fast moving Pietro and he stood still for a total of ten seconds, a sad expression on his face
"did-she-really-hate-me?" he asked in a soft, un-Pietro-like voice. Kitty sighed and shook her head
"no, she just like said you were like so annoying, but like she would say that with like a smile, so I like think she liked you as a friend" Peitro pouted
"only-a-friend-kitty-kat?" Kitty blew a brown bang from her face and shook her head
"I don't like know, when we see her again you can like ask her"
Pietro grimaced
"yeah-when-I-see-her" he whispered and then with a shake of his head and a cocky glance he was off again, running around the entire perimeter of the plains.

Fire Pit
2.22 pm
Lance glared at Summers and Pyro who were arguing again 'could they shut up? Its bad enough its as hot as hell here but they have to constantly be at each others throats, it's like they're lovers or something with the way they act and prattle on about the most damned insignificant things.'
"SHIT UP!" Avalanche yelled and his eyes rolled into the back of his head as he let his mutation rattle the ground and force both boys to stop arguing, however the small shimmer in the earth caused the small pools of lava and fire to be disrupted and cause a hive of activity in the rather hot habitat. Lance rolled his eyes and groaned 'they've stopped, but now its even hotter, I wish I was anywhere but here, even being in a room with Todd would have been better!'
"look mate, take a chill pill would ya, its not like were gonna split the cake!" Lance groaned
"what?" 'this guy never makes any sense whatsoever, what a stupid Australian freak!'
"yeah, what? Look you little Aussie reject from the backwaters of the land from down under, just go hop on your kangaroo and get the hell away from me"
"you shut up to scooter" Lance sneered standing up, he'd had enough of this crap, he was going to find another rock to sit on. Lance shivered as he watched the humans pointing and talking about him and the other mutants that were in the habitat, 'I never ever wanted to know what a caged animal felt like, so why am I like this? And where the hell was Magneto when this happened? And what about that stupid Xavier dude, wasn't he supposed to be striving for mutant human relations? All this crap just went to hell, and I got caught up in the middle of it, me n' my Kitty Kat.' Lance glanced up at the roof of his habitat and glared at the lights that shone as a fake sun 'they better be taking good care of you Kitty, or I'll run them into the ground for treating my girl wrong, just be alright.' Lance sat down on his new rock and closed his eyes, all of this listening to Scott and St John fight and the constant heat was getting to him, and soon Lance Alvers was asleep.

3.49pm
The sun beat down on the dry earth as three men stood, waiting for the fourth member of their group to arrive, all anxious to get out of the sun, and being exposed, they humans were becoming more quicker at catching their kind, and what they needed was more mutants to help in freeing the ones kept up in the institutes, they already had a few ideas on what institutes they would hit first, all they needed was for their fourth member to confirm if they had enough back up for the job. The fourth member slowly stalked towards the gathered men, her hips swaying in a dress business suit.
"sorry to keep you gentlemen waiting,"
"It's quite alright Ms. Darkholm, quite alright."
