"You like it there."
"At the institute, it's alright, nothing worth staying for."
"What do you mean?"
"This is a trial week; I can leave after this Sunday." She paused, "If anything weird happens I can explain, and what is your opinion about mutants." She asked; trying not to tell him she was one.
"You don't know."
"Know what?"
"I am a mutant."
"Really, big relief, not to be nosy but what do ya do?"
He ran fast away and back. "Speed my friend, speed."
"Holy crap, how fast?"
"175 miles per hour."
"Uh wow."
"You gonna show me your mutation or not."
"No, its not people friendly."
"I'm a big boy."
"Ok." She concentrated on thoughts and sound, and the bubble showed up again, she made sure not to let go. She turned to Pietro who looked shocked, then made the weirdest face and asked.
"What's up with your eyes?"
"Oh that, I don't know." She said looking at the ground.
"That's really cool though."
"Thanks, kinda wish I wasn't a mutant though"
"Why's that?"
"Because if I wasn't I could go home live with my friends and do our everyday stuff. With out worrying about killing them one day because I'm uncontrollable."
"So why'd your parents say 'yes' to coming then."
"Oh my foster parents don't care."
"What happened to your parents?"
"They died."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. Well here we are I'm sure everyone will be nice and friendly." She said as they walked through the gate down the lawn and up the stairs to the house.
"I won't say a word."
"Probably a wise decision." They worked on their project for a while and absolutely no one bugged them, which was probably a good thing because they got it done in two hours. At five o'clock Pietro went home.
"You need a ride home speedy." Logan asked.
"No I'll just run thanks." Pietro said backing away from Logan.
"Whatever kid." He said as Pietro left the house.
"I haven't heard from Professor Xavier recently, you think he's alright Logan?"
"Yeah, he's probably concentrating, but it has taken him a while to come back, but the technology could be jumbled pretty badly." He paused, "alright dinner now then rest then training." Jean and Roz fixed dinner and everyone ate slowly so they would delay training.
"Alright," Logan smiled catching on to their plan. "No training tonight, but it'll bad tomorrow."
"Yes!" Evan exclaimed.
"Ah hope its good thing." Rogue said quietly.
"Well if I'm letting you off go do homework or something," they nodded and left the table.
For most it didn't take long to do homework, Roz came down and spoke with Bobby and he showed her some ice tricks she tried to help him but it never worked right.
"That right there my friend is the definition of cool." Roz said to Bobby as Sam ran with full power into Jamie who then was surrounded by at least twenty replicas of himself.
"Oops." Sam said. Roz was laughing a bit when all of the sudden Kurt popped right next to her.
"You scared me to death Kurt!" As she said this Bobby, Sam and Kurt were laughing so hard that none of them could even talk straight. "I'm leaving." She said jokingly as she walked to her room and they were still laughing when she left. Roz decided that she would go to bed and get rested up for the hard training the next day, over the next hour she heard people getting ready to go to bed while she lay awake in her bed. She fell asleep for a few hours and woke up with her alarm clock saying 1:37 am, but she was trying to figure out why she woke up when she heard talking.
"So we have the Logan guy, this means without him fighting it will be a little easier to get everyone else."
"Only a little easier though, anyone in this room."
"Nope the register said that mutant never showed up."
"Maybe they're there now; the register may not be updated."
"I doubt it; let's go get these kids, the quicker we do this the quicker we can get away from these freaks." She heard heavy boots clunk down the hall near what must have been Rogue and Kitty's room.
'They're going to take them by surprise,' Roz thought,'I have to warn them.' She didn't have much time to think so she yelled as loud as she could.
"INTRUDER!" She heard the (what must have been government soldiers) run faster, Roz quickly got out of bed and ran down the hallway to wake the recruits. She saw that the soldiers were dragging Scott and had taken his sunglasses off and she quickly went to the spot where they were dropped and picked them up. The room on her right was Kurt's and inside she heard a BAMF then he was standing next to her. By this time a lot of new recruit and some of the other kids were downstairs already being studied by the soldiers. She heard a thump and looked over to Nightcrawler who had just been knocked unconscious.
"Better give it up girlie, you're the only one left." A man with a rough voice said.
"N-no." Roz said as she ran away from the man as fast as she could, then she found herself on the other side of the mansion in less than a second. 'What happened,' she thought again, 'more power? She could already do sonic boom, sonic,sonic, what else has to do with sonic.' She paused, 'Sonic speed, impossible that's 760 mph, well maybe it's not impossible, but I need to go back and help them.' She ran as fast as she could then down the stairs to a spot where they couldn't see her.
"We have the ice one, the spike one, telekinetic and telepathic, two fiery ones, one cloning, one that can propel himself, the dog one, the one that phases, the optic blast one, and the one that hurts people when she touches them."
"So we're missing the fire works and the electric energy one." Roz turned to see Jubilation and Ray sitting across the room in different places hiding. She tried getting their attention and luckily Ray turned around and looked right at her and waved his hand for her to come over and she nodded. She got up when she heard.
"Looks like we found fireworks hiding," One soldier said dragging Jubilee to the others.
"Then there's another mutant here."
"Yes the electric energy one, we went over this."
"No I saw a mutant in the hallway and it wasn't the electric boy or this girl here." He pointed a finger at Jubilee.
"Well private it's just a little girl, go find her." The man in charge said and looked over to Kurt who was smiling.
"Something funny freak." Kurt cringed he hated being called a freak. The man grabbed both his wrists. "You won't be smiling for-" He stopped when Kurt's image inducer went off.
"What is this?!" He yelled. Kurt cringed again. While the man was yelling at Kurt, Roz and Ray formed a plan.
"Hey army men!" Ray yelled as he ran up the stairs five men went after him, which left another 25 men downstairs.
"You see this other girl." The man said to a private who nodded to show he was listening. "She's not on the register and we were told not to hurt the registered ones so-" he paused, "if you see her….shoot her." Kurt's head shot up and so did about five others.
"Yes Sergeant Ramsey sir."
"No so funny now is it freak?" He said to Kurt.
Roz had heard this but she already knew what she was going to do, she charged up as quietly and discreetly as possible. She ran to Scott and put his glasses on his eyes. Scoot opened his eyes to see a gust of wind stop and it was Roz.
"Shoot her!" The man shot one shot to Roz's heart, silence followed while everyone looked at Roz then Kitty started to cry. Roz laughed and tossed the bullet out of her hand. Everyone looked up shocked and at the same time Ramsey smiled. Roz felt a gun cock to the right side of her head. She shook her head and looked Ramsey right in the eyes so he could see the metallic of her eyes.
"I wouldn't do it, if I were you." She said as she turned around and in the blink of and eye had the gun turned to the man. Then she heard a shot and fell down. She looked at the right side of her torso and saw a small exit wound that had blood leaving it.
"Well, I did do it." He said as she took all of her strength to get on her knees. "Did you think mutants would win? I mean honestly. And now what are you going to do. No doctor will treat you; you're just another dead mutant." She drew in breaths that were shorter and shorter and she then saw Ray being lead down the stairs by the five soldiers.
"Roz!" Ray yelled but was kept still by the soldiers.
"Alright, got them all? Let's move out."
"What should we do with the wounded mutant?"
"Leave her." Ramsey said, but he turned around right as a silvery white circle grew bigger and bigger around Roz and then she finally let go and a boom went through out the front entrance. The soldiers were knocked down and Roz stood up and Evan spiked everyone's ropes and got the cuffs that kept Kitty and Kurt from using their powers. Kurt ran over to Roz."
"Rosaline? Vake up please." The only response he got was a small cough, and then she looked up at him with her grey eyes and smiled.
"I told him he didn't want to." She said weakly.
"Come on, we need to get Logan out." Evan said to Scott.
A few minutes later a very mad looking Logan came in and saw Roz. "Come on kiddo we have to get you fixed up, I'm sure Charles will be back soon." He took her down to a hospital looking room he told the rest of the mutants to come to. "They'll be coming by the dozens soon." The mutants put defenses up around the room that they stayed in. They had Rahne stay in her wolf form and warn them if people came.
"Alright Roz, Jean has you fixed up as best she can, you'll be ok. I still wish I had been in there, dirty scum army, when I was in the army we didn't get people and hurt them when they were unarmed." The radio Rahne was carrying rang.
"Yeah Rahne?'
"There are people, not the army, its Mystique and the Brotherhood, what is going on-"
"Rahne."
"You like it there."
"At the institute, it's alright, nothing worth staying for."
"What do you mean?"
"This is a trial week; I can leave after this Sunday." She paused, "If anything weird happens I can explain, and what is your opinion about mutants." She asked; trying not to tell him she was one.
