Rogue twisted and turned in her sleep that night. She felt as if she was drowning. The waves smashed against her, crushing her. She opened her mouth to scream, but water filled her lungs.

Gagging as she woke up, she checked to see if she woke up her roommate, but Jubilation Lee was still sawing logs. Unable to sleep, she walked over to her desk and grabbed a small black bag, walked to the door, and headed to the library. She had started to wear pajama pants, a tee, and night gloves now to bed just incase the government decides they want to make another visit back. It was silly, she knew, but at least she wouldn't be running around in a slinky nightgown should the occasion for running arrive.

She made it to the library and she was the only one there. Who would be up this late in the library? Unless you were really behind on your homework or you were looking for a place to hide nobody would be here. Rogue was doing neither. She plopped in front of the nearest computer and logged on to AOL.

Jubilee was pushing her to get a new screen name, but Rogue wasn't in that big of a hurry to change it. It was the one she had made when she had started high school back home. TheMHSOutsider meaning The Meridian High School's Outsider. It was the only thing of her normal life that she still had left. She was willing to keep it as long as she could.

She cracked her knuckles and her neck before she started. She grabbed some equipment out of her bag and hooked it up to the computer. She started to type vigorously typing in random codes where they needed to be. Cracking passwords and getting one step closer to the main archive. In about a half hour she was inside the White House's computer system. She was the only one in the Mansion who was any good at hacking. As much as she hated to admit it now, she had been the president of the computer club in her freshman year and had been so her sophomore and junior years of high school as well.

She was exceptionally good at computers, what could she say? She had been hacking since the beginning of her sophomore year and now that the Professor had given her all of these amazing toys so that they could keep tabs on the government's "solution" to the "mutant problem."

So far there has been nothing bad circulating the files. Ever since President McKenna made his speech after the X-Men had a "little chat" with him, the MP files just stayed as they were. No new ones came. It was odd. She decided to hack into Stryker's government files, which proved to be a hard thing to do. There was nothing there about his second Cerebro or any of that junk and she was about to give up for the night when the words "Weapon X" flashed before the screen.

Interested, she double clicked on the file.

"You want me to do what?" John Allardyce asked cautiously.

"You heard me the first time, so don't ask silly questions. We'll strike them with a low blow cloud their minds with emotion causing them misinterpret our real plans." Magneto said in an overly patient voice.

"But I don't see how..."

"Your soft on the girl, aren't you?"

It took a moment for John to answer. He had tried so hard to get over her, but it wasn't working.

"So what if I am?"

"It could change everything."

"It doesn't matter she's with Bobbeee." He said emphasizing the last word in an annoyed fashion.

"We could easily change that."

"How so?"

"Again with the questions. Just follow my direction and you will have everything you want."

A/N: I finally updated. Yay.

I am not sure that you could hack into the White House files from AOL, but I figure that "toys" that Xavier gave Rogue would make hacking a hell of a lot easier. Hmmm, yes, Rogue the computer wiz. This will come to play a lot more when her past gets revealed in later chapters. It was a fun idea to play around with.

More coming soon.
