Infiltration
"Whoever heard of having the last day of school on a Monday?" Bobby groaned as the X-Men readied for bed. It was the day after the dance.
"Yeah we barely get to recover from the stupid dance!" Kitty muttered.
"Hey Spyder didn't shock you that hard with her webbing," Tabitha told her. "You didn't even fall unconscious!"
"Easy for you to say!" Kitty said. "I swear my hair still has static electricity in it!"
The X-Men went to bed. However an hour later, Rogue got out of bed and got dressed, like she was in a trance. Stealthily she made her way towards Kitty's room and quietly took some of her powers. Then she did the same to all the other X-Men. Using Jean's abilities those that did wake up would not remember what had happened in the morning. Then she went back to her room and took something out of her dresser. Using Kurt's powers she teleported outside and went inside a waiting limo.
Mystique took what Rogue had hidden in her desk. "Good with these maps and scanning devices locating the Eye of Ages will be child's play. And a spare teleportation watch. My, my how inventive."
"I knew the Joes had the advanced technology we need," Mesmero grinned as he drove. "Now all we need is to make a stop at Magneto's base."

"So you've finally located the Eye of Ages?" Magneto asked his butler, Winters. He had the ability to store data like a computer.
"It took some time but yes," Winters nodded. "Fortunately Apocalypse cannot access its power without the key which we already obtained."
"Yes," Magneto looked at a metal key in a glass container. "We were lucky to find it so fast. Ever since Apocalypse escaped I've been secretly researching and trying to figure out what he's been up to. We were lucky to find this item. Imagine that fool of a company plant director keeping it right in his office where anyone could…" He stopped. The door opened. "I told you I was not to be disturbed! Why…" Then he saw Rogue standing there. "Rogue what are you doing here?"
"Sir…" Winters winced. "Someone is trying to enter my mind…It's her! No she's being controlled!"
"Mesmero…" Magneto hissed as Rogue hit him with a telekinetic blast. Then she teleported to the key, used Kitty's phasing powers to grab it and teleported away. "NO! SHE MUST NOT GIVE THEM THAT KEY!"
