A/N: Hey guys I've been getting some really great reviews and I'm so pleased. Please write more! U know the drill I own like none of the X-Men characters so don't sue. And remember I love flames.



It's not the music

Rogue stared. She wasn't the only one. No one had ever met this girl. She was strange and beautiful and mysterious. She lifted a hand and the boys began to play.

"No one sees

No one feels

If they do

Then it ain't true

Hope is my eyes

Watch you shall see

Only in my eyes can you be free." Hypnotica sang.

Rogue suddenly felt very tired as her eyes drifted to Hypnotica's. The girl's eyes glowed red. Rogue began to feel more sleepy… Don't do what the song says … Rogue opened her eyes. Everyone around her swayed their eyes glowing the same red as Hypnotica's. She looked around everyone was effected even Scott in his shades.

"What has come

I can undo

If your not careful

I'll come for you."

"What are ya doing?" Rogue asked. The boys played on but Hypnotica stopped.

"Did you say something?" She asked.

"Yeah Ah said 'what are ya doin'" Rogue repeated.

"No one escapes my power," Hypnotica said " No one."

Hypnotica ran at rogue throwing a wild punch. Rogue dogded and slammed her knee into Hypnotica's stomach. Hypnotica fell to the ground. She stood and threw another punch. Rogue caught her fist and with a strange power surge, crushed Hypnotica's fist.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Hypnotica shrieked. Her eyes stopped glowing and everyone feel out of their trances. Rogue let go of hypnotica. "I'll get you."

Then she ran off followed by the brotherhood. Lance smiled at rogue then followed the others. Kitty came over to rogue.

"Like rogue what happened? One minute I'm like totally grooving to the music and the next thing I know like the guys are gone." Kitty said.

" Yeah Rogue what happened?" Risty asked

"Nothing you wanna hear Risty," Rogue said then whispered to Kitty. "I'll tell you later."

After School as Scott drove Jean, Kitty, Kurt, Evan and Rogue home, rogue explained what had happened at lunch. Needless to say they were all quite shocked to hear what had happened.

"So your saying we were under a spell?" Scott asked looking at Rogue in the rear view. The southern Goth stared back.

"Ah didn't say spell. It was more like you guys were hypnotized." Rogue said.

"Still sounds freaky, the prof is totally gonna wanna hear about this." Kurt said.

"Yeah you better believe it. But what about the whole hand crushing thing? Where'd you get the strength?" Evan asked.

"Dunno, all Ah know is one minute her hand is normal, the next ah crushed the bones to dust." Rogue answered.

"Weird." Kitty said shivering " Remind me not to make you like mad, ok?"

Somewhere in a hidden fortress, standing before magneto was Pietro and Hypnotica. Hypnotica's hand was bandaged and it was obvious she was in pain. She shot dirty looks to Pietro, who looked strangely innocent and angelic. Magneto stared at the two of them.

"I'm telling you he warned her! How else could she escape me???" Hypnotica shouted.

"Did you warn her Pietro?" Magneto asked staring down his son.

"I didn't tell Rogue anything." Pietro said with a smirk on his lips.

"He lies. Look at him, you see he lies." Hypnotica shouted.

Suddenly both Pietro and Hypnotica fell to the ground, grasping at their throats. The metal bands around their necks tightened, sucking the breathe from them. Magneto yawned and released them. "Now I grow tired of your sad excuse for lives. Don't miss your target and don't mess with the target got that?"

The two teens nodded. Magneto disappeared into the shadows. It was Pietro who stood first. "You better get them next time or your screwed."

Pietro disappeared out of the room. Hypnotica stood still gasping for breathe. "Don't you worry, I'll get my targets, all of them."

A/N: Sorry It took so long guys. I could give you a bunch of excuses but lets face it, I was just lazy. I will try to get the next installment up ASAP but don't be shocked if it takes a while. Thanks to all who reviewed. I love you guys. Kisses.
