Disclaimer: Don't own them never will
Hey I am taking a short tangent from my other story Karma to write this up because well Wanda is just SO moody you know! I swear it's like-
Wanda: WHAT are you saying?
IF: Ummm you know I don't recall! Ehehehhe ^.^; well I best get on with the story. There are will be couples in this just not in this chapter. Ok so there is a tiny little hint but I don't think anyone will pick up on it. NO this is NOT Rogue/Wanda all the couples are straight, I don't like any of the same sex couples in this series. Oh well I hope you enjoy and Wanda….
Wanda: mumbling to herself I feel so cheap PLEASE REVIEW

Rogue marched up the escalator keeping her guard up so that none of the brotherhood would catch her off guard. She turned to the left and then the right hands up and prepped to whack anyone coming towards her. What she wasn't expecting was who would be at the top of the moveable stairs, a long lost teammate.
"Wanda?" she squeaked, jade grayish eyes widening, her arms falling to her sides of her battle uniform. Shock rolling off her in waves, she almost fainted but took a deep breath instead trying to clam her quickly beating heart.
"R-Rogue?" she responded in a barely audible whisper, not trusting her gray blue eyes. Her mouth hung open, suddenly dry. She hadn't been this surprised since she found her baby brother at the brotherhood.
They both stood their staring at each other before rushing up to the other and grabbing the other into a giant huge. The two started to laugh and cry at the same time. Both ended up on the floor where they finally released one another the just smiled with pleasure.
"So what are you doing here in Bayville?" Rogue asked Wanda, not quite understanding her friend's arrival at the small town. There wasn't much here unless she was completing the other side of the mission. Rogue's head was cocked to the side and she was starting to get a little impatient she didn't really want to leave and had to know why she was here.
Wanda started, "I'm part of a new group now Roguey. One that isn't doing stuff with me like they use to."
"Me too" They both grinned at each other.
"I'm here to kick some group of X-geeks butts. What's wrong Roguey? You look pale."
"Ah, Ah an X-Men"
"You can't be, I mean, how can you be? I you we're a team Roguey! Acid and Base! Just like the old days! How…how can we be enemies?"
"Ah don't know all Ah know is that you're with the brotherhood and Ah left then."
"What? Why?"
"Uh have you seen the members?"
"Yea tell me about it. I mean first up there is Stinkboy, I mean the kid's code name is Toad! Then there is (EXTREME sarcasm) The Blob (end big sarcasm) I mean the kids is huge! I was surprised when they ordered that many pizzas but damn! Then there is some hot head Lance."
"But you forgot Pietro, I mean he is your brother."
"Ahhhh so you've touched dear lil brother of mine."
"Yea I am pretty sure I have most of them. Don't worry about it. You do have the easy side of the mission though. But good luck, try not to go full force on them, they aren't ready to know our powers yet." She said turning towards the stairs.
"Is that the only reason Roguey?
"No it isn't" She stopped for a second before replying.
"I thought so, now go down there and help out your team! I can't wait to see their looks!"
"Same ole Wanda."
Rogue went to watch what was happening on the battlefield and noticed that Todd had gotten paired with Scott. Rolling her eyes and sighing she went over to where the amphibian boy was taunting her team leader and touched him. His eyes widened as he felt his life energy being sapped and fainted from her flesh on flesh contact. Using his powers she flipped down to where Scott was and held out the glasses. Returning the glasses to Scott she was unprepared for her pal's arrival. She feigned shock similar along with her teammates and winked to Wanda. Later as she followed the rest of the X-Men Rogue pondered what she would do now.
'My mission is almost complete, Wanda being here just reminds me of that. I guess I only have a little time to enjoy this gig'
Kurt asked concerned, "V'hat is da matter?" He put a hand on her shoulder, she turned around and looked into his pupiless eyes. Her emotions started to blur as she thought of losing her brother. They were starting to develop a bond again. 'I don't want to leave him…but they'll just hurt him if I get to close.'
"Ah'm just gonna miss you, you furball!" she said before taking off in the opposite direction. Kurt and Kitty looked at each other as did Jean and Scott each mouthing the same thing "Weird" Kurt looked on at her departure with sad eyes.

"Yay! We won yo, well kinda!" Todd corrected, jumping in the air and doing a summersault.
"Yes well don't start partying yet you slugs. NONE of YOU won against the X-Men only Wanda did. Which means that you all must practice, which means afternoon sessions! I want you home ASAP! Now get in the jeep, we are leaving before Xavier comes in here and finds me!"
The dejected brotherhood members slowly dragged their feet back to Lance's truck. Each got in and held onto something, there being no seatbelts of course. They had pawned those off for the water bill once. Now Lance revved the engine and backed out of the parking lot onto the road that would lead them home.
What is the matter with Rogue? What does she mean by she'll miss him? How do Wanda and Roguey know each other? I'll tell ya in the chapter(s) to come!
Wanda: Yay well anyone that can free me from Icy Flame I'll tell right now!
IF: What? You wouldn't dare! ::looks at cackling muse:: Ok so maybe you would. I guess that means you all better review so I can feed my muse and get the next chapter out soon! Tell me what you think dis story needs yo!
