Alone
They all walked into the mansion to be greeted by the professor. Scott was furious with the outcome of the previous situation. Kitty and Kurt were shaken, they couldn't believe their best friend and a sister could do this to someone. They couldn't understand how this happened, and the worst part was they would never see her again. Remy was hurt and confused. He knew she would come back, but he wanted to be there for her more than anything, but he couldn't.
"I can't believe she did this. I've always had my suspicions about Rogue, but I never would have guessed this," Scott looked down at the ground running his hand through his hair.
"Something isn't right about this Scott," Jean added in, "When Rogue and I were fighting, I scanned her mind briefly," she looked up at him from the couch with confusion, "I sensed pain and most of all, the sense she didn't have a choice."
"There's always a choice Jean! She CHOSE to kill Jack Lang," Scott looked around the rest of the room for support from the others, "Come on guys, we all know Rogue never liked the guy."
"You know homme, Remy gettin' real tired of hearin' yo voice."
Scott turned, glaring at the mutant, but stopped himself when the professor spoke. "I believe Jean is right, Rogue's motives do not appear to be her own. Luckily, I have had the pleasure to become acquainted with an Acolyte who will help us understand this."
Colossus then walked behind the professor, the X-men got in fighting stances unsure of the Acolyte, Remy continued to shuffle his cards, knowing Piotr wasn't a threat.
"Vhat can he tell us professor?" Kurt asked.
Piotr then addressed the blue haired mutant, "I am well aware of the situation Rogue has been put in. I can stand aside no longer and watch Magneto hurt others. I want to help you."
The X-men stared at the larger mutant intently, waiting to hear the full story from their new member of the team.
******************************Canadian Border****************************
A young woman was standing outside waiting for a bus to take her to Canada. She wore green baggy pants and a black tank top. A heavy coat engulfed her and a duffel bag was slung over her shoulder as white bangs attempted to cover her porcelain face. The bus pulled up to the stop and she got on.
A young man spotted the girl, and went over to her to put his charm on. He sat next to her, "Nice night, huh?"
"Yeah," was the only reply she gave barely a whisper.
He looked over at her finding tear streaks down her face and her eyes staring at nothing, "I'm sorry, did you want to be left alone?"
"I am alone."
***************************back at the mansion*****************************
Everyone was in shock, they couldn't believe what Piotr had just told them. Every detail since Rogue's arrival at the Acolyte base was included. Remy was beyond furious, once he heard what Magneto had done to her after she had talked to him, his eyes blazed and he wanted nothing more than revenge.
Kurt couldn't believe it. She had done all of this, for him and his mother's protection. He had always loved her, but he assumed he was the annoying little brother she never wanted, he never suspected that these were her true motives.
Even Scott's opinion about the girl had changed. He could now understand why she would do this, he had a brother himself, and would do the same thing if in her position. "We have to go find her professor."
"No Scott, I do not believe now is the right moment for Rogue. She has been through a hard ordeal, to approach her now would be dangerous. She may runaway from us again," he looked up at his students, "for good. She will come to us when the time is right for her."
Remy's anger was seething, more than anything he wanted to hurt Magneto. To cause him the pain that he had caused Rogue. But it would only cause more problems for the both of them in the future.
*****************************4 a.m.*************************************
Rogue was riding on the bus. She'd been on it for five hours, but she was headed nowhere in particular, so it didn't matter. She was tired, dirty, and emotionally exhausted. It wasn't until an older woman sat down next to her that she was brought back to reality.
She looked at the older woman, she had blonde hair and a kind smile. She sat next to Rogue and looked at her, almost mesmerizing her. "You look tired my dear."
She didn't feel like talking, but found herself responding to the woman's comment. "Yeah, ah guess ya coul' say that."
"Been traveling for a while?" her voice was soft and delicate calming Rogue.
"Yeah, oftly tahred too."
The woman then stared into Rogue's eyes almost forcing her to look back. Her eyes flashed yellow causing Rogue to jump. She reached the handle for the driver to stop and quickly got her things and rushed past the woman.
She followed Rogue off the bus. "Wait Rogue! I'm here to help you," she revealed her true form as the motherly look vanished and was replaced with blue skin.
Rogue kept walking away from her as the bus drove away. She was in the middle of nowhere in Canada, not a light could be seen in any direction and she guessed the nearest town was at least twenty miles away. "Well ah don' want yo help!"
"Rogue," Mystique's eye's showed emotion for her daughter for the first time, "I am thankful for what you did," she paused and then looked to Rogue, "for me and for Kurt."
Rogue paused in her tracks looking back at her mother, "Yo Welcome," her cold breath could be seen in the night air, she made no move just continued to look at Mystique.
"Rogue, come with me," she held her hand open for Rogue to take.
"Fo what? So ya can use meh again. Ah'm tired of it Mystique! Ah'm ah tool fo' everyone! Ah'm sick o' fightin'!"
"No dear, look at you. You have no money, no place to stay, and you'll die out here from the cold before you make it to the next town," she paused letting her take it in, "Let me help you out this time."
She didn't say anything. Rogue stood there for a couple of minutes but then walked towards her mother as Mystique led her away. She took a cell phone out and called for a car. While Rogue was being led by her mother, a satisfied smile placed on Mystique's lips and she changed back into the woman's form.
So there will be Pyro later on, and some other stuff, hope ya like it!
