Meeting
"She what?!"
"Yes, it seems Rogue has decided to join Magneto's team. Her motives are confusing to me, but we must allow her to make that choice on her own," the professor explained looking at his students.
"But this doesn't make any sense professor, I mean, why would Rogue all the sudden change sides. She never gave any sign she was unhappy with the X- Men," Jean remarked not understanding the situation herself.
The living room was crowded with X-Men, none of them could understand why Rogue had left. Kitty was in the corner holding onto her letter for dear life as if it would vanish and Kurt looked down at the ground, regretting he had not talked to his sister before she left. But he knew that Rogue's intentions were good, and she had to do this for her own reasons. Remy stood in the shadows during the discussion with glasses on, so his expression was unreadable.
It wasn't until the remark made by Scott that Remy showed any sign of caring about the situation. "Well, once an enemy, always an enemy, we should be prepared to fight her at any costs now."
"You know mon ami, maybe dat why de femme left in da firs' place, ta get away from know it all pricks like you," Remy replied, anger blazing in his eyes.
"You want to start something Gambit, or are you just being defensive over the turncoat?"
Remy took out a card and charged it, by this time the two were less than five feet away, sizing the other up.
"Remy, Scott, I suggest you stop this argument," the professor stated.
Remy uncharged his cards and Scott lowered his hands from his glasses. "Alright X-men, despite the unfortunate occurrences, you do still have a danger room session in half an hour, I suggest you all go get ready."
They all left the room. Remy headed over to Kurt and put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don' worry elf, Rogue got her reasons, she gonna be okay," then walked out.
****************************At Magneto's Base****************************
"Thank you for coming Rogue, I hope the ride over wasn't too uncomfortable," she glared at Magneto for her only response. "Well, I believe I will start your initiation here by informing you of what is expected of you during the mission." He handed her a file folder containing the data of the person.
Rogue opened the folder only to find the information of the boy she went to school with, Jack Lang. She read the files, what he was doing now, and what he would become later on, a leader of the Friends of Humanity. It showed how he would hurt mutants and kill thousands. Rogue looked up, realizing the only possible way Magneto could learn all this, Irene.
She looked up at the file folder to Magneto, "You are to destroy him."
"Destroy? Ah'm suppos' ta kill em?"
"Yes, as you have read, he will become a dangerous threat not only to me but to all mutant kind."
"So why can' yo boys take em' out?"
"My men lack a certain..cover up of the situation that you can succeed with."
"Ya want it ta look lahke an accident?"
"Precisely."
"An how ya reckon' ah do that?" she asked glaring at him. She knew the answer, she just never hoped she would have to do it.
"Absorb him. Not only will it not leave any traces of a mutant, but also you'll gain valuable information about the Friends of Humanity program." He turned his back to her and continued, "You must also gain more power before you follow through with this, as I have mentioned previously, I have restored the machine to enhance mutant ability from Asteroid M. When you go through the machine you will have complete control of your powers."
"An' will ah turn inta a zombie lahke the rest o' yer men?!" she asked glaring at the man.
"Don't worry Rogue, there are no side effects as far as I'm concerned, or else I would have shut Pyro up long ago."
She laughed to herself, then got to the point with the man, "What else, ya wouldn't enhance mah powers jus' fo' shits an' giggles."
"Mr. Lang will not be taken down easily, as it was foreseen," Rogue glared at the man for talking about Irene, "so you will need some extra abilities, including telekinesis and healing," he looked at her seriously and stared her down.
She had to hurt her friends more than she already did? Even though she really didn't favor the red head Jean Grey, but she would never do that to her. And to betray Logan? The man who had helped regain her mind? She tried to come up with a solution to get out of the situation, "Ah coul' never hold their power fo' that long, only fo' a couple a days, yer talkin' a week at least."
"By going through the machine Rogue, you will keep their abilities for months," Colossus then came through the door interrupting the conversation, "More of this will be discussed, but for now I will have Colossus escort you to your room, you will have a training session with my team in the morning." She got up and was heading towards the door when Magneto added in, "I'm sure you'll find it more straining than it was with the X-Men." She looked at him one last time before leaving and glared, then walked out with Colossus.
Colossus shut the door and began to walk down the hall with Rogue following. "You know, I know how you feel."
"Excuse meh?" she asked coldly not knowing how he could possibly know.
"My family lives in Russia, my mother is very sick. We could never afford the medical assistance that she needs. That's when Magneto offered to help her as long as I join him. You and I are much alike Rogue," he never looked at her just straight ahead.
"Do ya think ah'm doin' tha raght thang?"
"I could never justify the killing of one man to save another, but your intentions are good. I would do the same thing in your place."
"Yeah," she looked down at the floor.
It was silent for a while until Colossus spoke, "This is your room, you'll find everything you need here, and if you need something else just let me know. Down the hall to the right you'll find a lounge area. Not very homely looking, all metal, but there is a television. I warn you that Pyro does stay there a lot though," he smiled and then added, "But you look like you could handle him."
"Thanks a lot Colossus."
He nodded his head, "at six in the morning we train, but you get up at four," he looked at her with concern and she knew he was talking about the machine, she nodded, "your uniform is on your bed," he then shut her door and exited the hallway.
She walked over to her bed and took off the coat Remy had given her. She looked at her uniform, all black. It had short sleeves and was equipped with black gloves with holes in the fingertips. It reminded her of Remy.
She stared at the uniform for a while thinking of what would happen tomorrow if she had to attack the X-Men. As much as she hated it, she had to be successful, then she could go back home. Home was such a strange word for her, but she actually did acquire one, the only problem would be if the X-Men would let her back in.
She put the coat back on and got in bed falling asleep to the smell of Cajun spice.
**************************************The End of Ch. 5******************** Rogue's uniform is like the one she wore when Xavier had the vision after Apocalypse. Best idea I can give you, sorry.Okay so not a lot of Romy, but you'll see later on. Thanks a ton for the reviews.
