It was four o' clock AM by time Logan, Scott, Ororo, and Jean left the mansion. The snow outside had finally stopped falling, but the ground was covered in about three inches of snow.

"The snow has covered any tracks," Scott said.

"I can't pick up a sent either," Logan said.

"Storm, can you melt all the snow so it will be easier to find them?" Jean asked.

"Alright," Ororo said.

Ororo held her hands up and her eyes began to glow white. She caused the temperature to rise and the heat in the ground to rise.

The snow around them began to melt away.

When all the snow was gone, Storm returned the temperature to normal.

"What's this?" Scott said and bent down.

"It's a playing card," Logan said.

"There's something weird about this card, though," Jean said.

"Do we know any mutants that has strange cards?" Scott asked.

"None that I know of," Logan said.

"Just put it in your pocket," said Jean. "We still have to find Rogue."

"Okay," Scott said and did as Jean said.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Can ya at least tell me yer name?!" Rogue asked with frustration.

"The name's Gambit. There you happy?"

"Not really," she replied.

"What more do you want then?" Gambit asked annoyed.

"Ah want to know whah you kidnapped me," she said.

"Magneto's orders," he said.

"Magneto?" she asked.

"I was supposed to take that Jean Grey person too until you started yelling," he said.

"Hey what's wrong?" she asked when he started to shake.

"I-I don't know," he said.

Mystique watched from behind a counter. She knew what was happening.

"Magneto...machines....potions...." Gambit said.

"What?" Rogue asked. "Yer not makin' sense."

"I...remember," he said.

"Remember what?" she asked.

"My name," he said. "It's Remy Entienne Lebeau."

"No!" Mystique thought.

Gambit ran to Rogue and untied her.

"You have to get out!" he said. "Stop..."

He could not finish his sentence for Mystique kicked him from behind.

"Mystique!" Rogue spat.

"I told him I should have taken care of this job!" Mystique said angrily.

Gambit got up and pulled out a card.

"Oh and card game, huh?" Mystique said sarcastically.

The card burst into a flame and Gambit threw it at Mystique.

Mystique jumped out of the way and the card exploded on the floor.

Rogue ran towards Mystique and was about to put her hand on her face until Mystique quickly kicked Rogue aside.

"Stay out of this!" Mystique snarled.

"Rogue, get out of here!" Gambit said.

Mystique did a few flips and kicked Gambit in the stomach.

Gambit was flung against a wall and felt very dizzy.

Mystique smiled evilly.

She picked up a large junk of rubble and hit Gambit's head with it.

When she saw that did not kill him and that is only knocked him unconscious, she raised the rubble again.

"No!" Rogue shouted and grabbed Mystique's bare arm with her bare hand.

Mystique screamed in pain.

Rogue held on as tight as she could, but Mystique kicked Rogue and was able to escape.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Kurt and Kitty ran outside their cell and into a hallway.

"Can we use our powers?" she asked.

"Let me try," he said.

He grabbed Kitty's hand and 'ported to the other side of the hall.

"Now we can escape!" she said happily.

"Don't try to use your powers to escape," he said.

"Why?" she asked.

"You could end up phasing into another anti-mutant field," he said.

"Right," she replied.

At that time about one hundred guards began to flood into the hall.

"We can't get out!" Kitty gasped.

"Vhat do ve do?!" he asked.

"'Port us out of here!" she said desperately.

"I can't!" he said.

"Why?!" she asked.

"I have to see vhere I'm going," he said. "Othervise I might end up in a vall." (A/N: yeah, yeah, I know I took that from the second movie.)

"Please, Kurt!" Kitty pleaded. "Just try!"

He sighed and took her hand in his.

When the guards came into the hall, Kurt and Kitty were gone.

Kurt and Kitty had 'ported to a park.

"We're in the park!" she said.

"Yes, this is vhat I vas picturing vhen I 'ported," he said.

"You've been here?" she asked.

"I came here for a vhile before my act," he said.

"I see," she said.

"Let us go to that institute and varn your professor," he said.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Kurt Wagner is in the park," Xavier said to Hank while looking at Cerebro.

"I'll take the X-Van and pick them up," Hank said.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Gambit! Gambit, wake up!" Rogue said to the unconscious Gambit.

Rogue sighed.

"Maybe Ah can find a phone outside," she thought.

She walked outside and walked up and down the strip of abandoned stores.

"Ah could leave easily and go back home," she thought. "But Ah can't leave Gambit. Obviously he was brainwashed or sumthin' and he tried to save mah life,"

"Somebody please help me!" Rogue shouted.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Did you hear that?" Logan asked.

"Hear what?" Scott asked.

"I heard Rogue," Logan said. "She's in trouble!"

Logan then took off in the direction of Rogue's yelling.

"Somebody please!"

"Rogue?"

"Logan?!"

Rogue smiled when she saw Logan, Scott, Ororo, and Jean running towards her.

"Rogue!" Ororo sighed. "Thank God we found you!"

"What happened?" Logan asked.

"No time for that," Rogue said and ran back into the store.

"Who's he?" Logan asked.

"He's a friend, he's the one who kidnapped me," she said.

"What?" Logan asked confused.

"Ah'll explain later!" Rogue said. "He was attacked by Mystique and needs help!"

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Kurt and Kitty walked through the park to get back at the institute, until Hank McCoy drove up in the X-van.

"Hank!" Kitty exclaimed.

"Kitty! I am so glad to see you!" Hank said.

"You must be Beast," Kurt said when he saw the blue and hairy man step out of the van.

"Ah, yes," Hank said. "And you are Kurt Wagner."

Kurt nodded.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Kurt," Hank said. "But we must return to the institute. Xavier is waiting."

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Back at the institute,

Beast was giving Gambit medical attention while Kitty, Kurt, Rogue, Logan, Scott, Ororo, and Jean talked to Xavier.

"I am please to have finally met you, Kurt," Xavier said.

"Me too," Kurt replied. "Keety has told me so much about how friendly everyone is here. I vould like to stay if it is alright."

"Of course, Kurt," Xavier said. "You can stay as long as you'd like."

"Yes!" Kitty exclaimed.

Everyone looked at her and she blushed.

"Professor, Ah absorbed some of Mystique's memories when Ah touched her," Rogue said.

"Good," Xavier said. "Shall I probe your mind and see what you found?"

"Yes," she said.

Xavier put his hands on her head and began searching.

(Mystique's memories)

"Whom did we capture?"

"An X-girl named Kitty 'ShadowCat' Pryde and my son...Kurt 'Nightcrawler' Wagner."

"Your son? He is here?"

"Yes,"

"Interesting, how long until the potions are ready?"

"A few more days,"

"And how long until the machines will be ready to attack again?"

"It will take a few days until they recharge,"

"We don't have a few days! By now the X-Men has told Charles what happened and they will go on a rescue mission!"

"They don't even now where we are, besides we could use this as our advantage."

"I want you to follow Gambit. That potion can wear off at any moment. If it does, I want you to bring him back here. If there's much resistance, kill him."

"As you wish,"

"These potions will alter an mutant's mind and make them want to kill humans..."

Xavier took his hands off Rogue's head and sighed.

"What did you see?" Logan asked.

"Mystique and Magneto are the ones responsible for the attack," Xavier said. "They are also making potions to alter a mutant's mind so that he or she will want to kill a human."

"That's why they kidnapped Kitty, Rogue, and Kurt," Jean said.

"Whoa, I'm, like, glad those potions weren't ready yet!" Kitty commented.

"Ja, me too," Kurt added.

Hank then walked into the room.

"How's Gambit?" Rogue asked.

"He will be fine," Hank said. "But he has amnesia."

"Just as I feared," Xavier said. "Gambit was our only hope to knowing where Magneto and Mystique are."

Author's Note: Sorry this chapter was short. I didn't wanna make it long and dragging. The next chapter will be longer. I hope. LOL
