The following morning brought bad news to the X-Men mansion. No, not bad, worse. Shadowcat's health hadn't improved one bit. She still laid motionless in the infirmary. Unfortunately, Rogue's health didn't improve either, but, she wasn't laying motionless in the infirmary. She was nowhere to be found.

"What the hell? Where is she?" Gambit asked as he entered the infirmary to check up on Rogue. "She's gone!?" He barked half asking, half stating.

"Good observation." Wolverine said with his usual, cold attitude.

"Wolvie, this is no time to be making jokes! We have a lost member here and she's dangerous, not only to us but to the citizens. !" Cyclops said stepping forward. Wolverine also moved in but was stopped by Jean Grey.

"She touched Shadowcat without her gloves long enough to gain her power, and Rogue used it to phase through our metal chains." Jean stated as she walked over to the bed Rogue was supposed to be in. "Look, the chains are locked up just as we left them."

The room fell silent until, finally, Gambit left. Small conversations started amongst the other mutants in the room. "What if she gets into the city?" And, "Who is she for, us or Magneto?"

Gambit walked around the outer grounds that belonged to the manor. Thoughts flew around in his head like darts. He walked for about two hours, before noticing he already made six circles around the school. He started heading back to the manor, but was still deep in thought.

Suddenly, a figure leapt out of a near by tree. He turned automatically and readied his staff. But, he saw no one. He continued to walked again, until something brushed past him. No not past him, through him. He turned to see Rogue standing in front of him. She lounged at him again with her fists out in front of her body. She began to phase through him again and he stood still in his fighting stance. Then, it stopped, she stopped her phasing process in the middle of it all. Gambit screamed in pain and fell helplessly to the ground.

Beast followed Quicksilver out and eventually caught up to Gambit and Rogue. Beast's eyes open wider then they ever had before this. Rogue, finally phased completely through Gambit and she too fell to the rough dirt. Both mutants laid lifeless on the ground.

Beast carried Rogue and Quicksilver ran Gambit in. They were both placed back in the infirmary, and Rogue was under heavy guard. Two people at the least, watched Rogue at all times.
