7:45 AM


Rogue woke up with a extreme pain in her head...in the med lab. It had been a dream.

(a/n: subtle way of redoing a story eh?)

Nobody was there, and she was slightly disappointed. She turned to the table by her bed and smiled, four vases of flowers, about seven cards and a stuffed blue teddy bear.

IT was a rather large bear, she liberated it from the desktop .

She pulled on the tag, and glanced at it, it was a mini card. 'From your favorite fuzzy dudes.' It was signed Mr. McCoy & Kurt , but she knew it was in Kurt's hand writing.

" It was Kurt's idea." She looked up and saw Beast standing in the doorway.

She smiled, holding the bear in her lap , sitting up. " So , What's new at mutant high?" She asked, in a slightly ...happy tone.

He checked the beeping machinery around her. " Well for one thing you can leave the lab today." He said.

Well at least that meant she could spend all day listening to CD's while 'recovering' when she felt fine.

A genuine smile crept over her features. Hank McCoy gave her a rueful smile. "I know what you're thinking , but you have to start up on the danger room sessions again tomorrow." She huffed, and turned around. Burying her face in her pillow.

He sighed, and pulled her blanket off, revealing her fluffy pink bunny PJ's (A/n: HAD to add that). " I'll trust you to get to your room, shower ect. Since the others are in training with the Professor and Magneto." He said casually.

Rogue nearly had a heart attack. "Magneto?!" Hank looked surprised. Then a look of recognition came over his hairy blue face.

" Oh, nobody told you ? I think I'll leave that to the professor, but long story short, we're teaming up with Magneto and his "Acolytes" and maybe members of the brotherhood to stop mesmero." Rogue put a hand to her head. " Right, of course, then we're going off to become poke`mon masters." He laughed.

" I know it sounds far fetched, but I'm telling you so you're not alarmed if you see an acolyte raiding our kitchen or coming out of the bathroom." She nodded , swinging her feet over to the side of the bed.

" Thanks." She said, making eye contact, her face mirroring sincerity. He nodded as she grabbed a pair of her clean gloves from the bed side table, and the bear , which was the size of your average cocker spaniel, and walked into the hall.

She rubbed her eyes groggily. Her bare feet padding quietly along, pulling on her gloves with relative ease.

She stumbled into the elevator, and managed to stand up straight for the optic scan.

She woke up when the elevator 'dinged' it was a new feature, a suggestion by Bobby.

She walked towards the main entry , hearing the front door open. She crept quietly around the corner and saw.

Evan Daniels. His spikes where still sticking out , but only on his shoulders. " Evan?" He saw her and smiled , kicking the door shut and dropping his bags.

She jogged over and hugged him, glad he was there. " I came as soon as I heard." Rogue smiled , pulling out of the hug.

" I'm glad you're' back." She heard the elevator again and the sound of voices, running a hand through her surprisingly untangled hair she gestured to the familiar mutants rushing towards them. " I guess they are too." Kurt looked like a little kid, the two HAD been best friends.

While Rogue was watching this reunion a small hand rested on her shoulder. "Like Rogue you're out? C'mon lets get you to the bathroom first ,I think you need a shower." Rogue was about to make a indignant reply when Kitty dragged her up the stairs.

Evan and Kurt immediately went to the game room, to brush up on their dead or alive 3 "skillz" . Jamie saying that he got to play winner , as Bobby , and Ray sifted in too , nobody had used the game room much since Evan left , it was like when a brother died , you never touched his things or went near his room.

Evan suddenly jumped up. "Auntie O! I CAN'T believe I forgot! I gotta split you guys, I'll be back later." The New Yorker went in search of his beloved aunt.

He got as far as the 2nd floor when he spotted the silver haired son of a terrorist. " Pietro." The Albino turned towards the familiar voice. " Daniels! Long time no see, glad to see you finally moved to the sewer , where you belong."

About 20 pointy looking spikes where ready to be aimed when a calm voice stopped them. " Boys!" The Two turned to a find the white haired African beauty known as Storm.

After a few weeks , in the "norm" hating depths of morlock society he really wasn't that afraid of his aunt's wraith anymore.

He did however, look very surprised. Pietro rolled his eyes, spouting a familiar line.

(A/n: lemme stop this for a moment, just a point I want to make to die hard Rietro fans. He is a daddy's boy, what's worse is he's such a spineless sad individual. He goes skipping back to daddy after years in foster care, He needs therapy, he's icky. WANDA on the other hand refused to just forgive him , granted she was in a mental institute but anyway I think he isn't worthy of Rogue, or any other human ...except maybe saber tooth ;p )

"When my father hears of this-'

" He already has." There behind the three stood the master of magnetism , in rather casual clothes (no cape or helmet).

" You should save your anger for homo sapiens." Storm looked a little conflicted, she didn't want to agree with magneto but desperately wanted to catch up with her nephew.

She didn't have to say anything because Erik only uttered one word and his lap dog of a son came running. " Come." And they where gone.

Storm and a tattered clothed Spyke started off towards the gardens.

/// Kitty plopped down on her bed , her hair wet from her after session shower, she was toweling her hair off and watching Rogue pace.

Her white striped wet hair was stuck to her neck, from lack of drying.

" So you had a dream in a dream?" Rogue nodded, she would have told Kurt...but the part about the acolyte would have sent him through the roof.

" Kitty I could swear it was real. You would look better with a braid." Kitty raised her eyebrows.

" Maybe it's just your mind rebelling or something." Rogue raised her eyebrows.

"Rebelling?" Kitty nodded.

" Well , you had so many other personalities in there , they must have gotten tired of you paying more attention to them than to yourself, maybe it was a wake up call you know? Like try to think of yourself ...and how much we care about you." Rogue blushed , looking down.

" I know all about that now, I jus' didn't want to get close in case something happened..."

Kitty had a strange smile on her face. " You don't want to lose us Rogue, and you won't, we protect each other, that's what being part of the Xmen is about." She stood up a hand on her shoulder.

" Besides why worry about that weird French guy? You an' Evan looked kinda-" Rogue looked surprised. " What?!" Kitty giggled.

" Rogue and Evan sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

(a/n: mwa ahahahahahahahahahahahaha j/k!) Rogue hit her with a decorative pillow. " Shut up!" Kitty stopped cackling. " Besides he likes Rahne." rogue stopped hitting Kitty, looking surprised.

" Whoa , really?" Kitty assaulted her with a large pillow. "I don't know."

Then the first , and most likely last pillow war began. Normal people have pillow fights, the Xmen had pillow wars.

The noise had roused some interest from Jean , and Amara , and Jamie. Soon there where feathers flying everywhere.

Jean pummeled Rogue as the two really went at it. She stopped for a moment , looking a bit embarrassed. "Um you're better now right?" Rogue answered by tackling Jean, while letting out a war cry.

Jean flipped Rogue onto Kitty's bed. "Oh, good to see you up and about." She knocked Rogue over onto the floor as she tried to get up. " Or down, whatever."

Rogue , laughed as one of the Jamies attacked Kitty and Amara. Logan appeared in the doorway. "What's going on in -" He was muffled by a pillow to the face, everyone stood still...eyes on Amara who had thrown the pillow.

The Jamies shivered, Rogue was holding a pillow over Jeans head, who was doing the same.
The feathers started to settle to the floor, Kitty and Rogue had feathers in their damp hair that would be murder to remove.

Kitty was slowly phasing into her mattress as Logan slowly removed the pillow , in about 3.5 seconds everyone was at the open doorway , and they even heard the 'whir' the professor's wheel chair.

Jean was mortified to find even Magneto and his stooges where looking at the spectacle. ' ...Hello professor.' Jean said in a weak mental voice.

He looked older, but smiled when he heard her. It had been the first time in the past two days he had left his study.

' Hello Jean, why don't you get ready for that danger room session.' She looked confused. ' Session?'

Logan was quiet for a long time. " Alright all of you, danger room five minutes , even you multiple." Jamie went pale as Logan turned around and left.

Kitty poked her head out of the mattress. " Yes!" She heard a few steps. "AND you too half pint." She sunk back into the mattress.

Magneto merely raised his eyebrows. Those guilty looking teens had fought against his acolytes without being crushed? This was disturbing. " I think the Acolytes will join your Xmen Charles we are after all combining forces." Xavier nodded.

Jamie , and Amara, scurried off , their rooms farthest firm the danger room. Jean was still in uniform and looked at the gawking Xmen , as the acolytes departed, Rogue was blushing and looking away from the people at the door. " A little privacy?" She shut the door hard with her telekinesis.
