A/N: Ok I'm still alive, yay! Erm, ok well I want to apologise for not updating for well about ¾ of the year. I don't really want to go into details but basically I've been through a lot that includes both good and bad, though mainly bad. Basically my friend died of cancer last year September time, I broke up with my long term boyfriend not long after and I've been through tons since, but I'm still here. So as well as all of that I got stuck with writers block for this chapter so I'm afraid it isn't one of my best, sorry.

"Maybe now is not the best time." Suggested Beast, "the girl appears to be attached to this Remy character!" He stated before checking to co-ordinates. Wolverine seated himself next to Beast in the cockpit and grunted, "Sure smells like it!" He stated, Beast gave him a blank expression, "His smell of Cajun spices, its all over her."

"The girl always struggled with relationships, it appears they are able to act normally around each other without him making a fuss over her mutant ability."

"What ya tryin' t' say bub? It could work even though the girl will never be able to touch!" Beast looked at him sternly, "No Wolverine! I'm saying that for the first time ever the Rogue is happy!" – recap.

Remy frowned at the large man in front of him, rage building and surging through every part of his body. "Ya said ya not gonna hurt 'em if Remy came wit' ya!" He boy practically growled. "My dear boy, I was merely removing a torn from my side, what makes this one so important to you anyway?"

"She was worth every minuet I spent wit' her!"

"Every minuet you spent with her to do what, brake her? Have her in your bed as soon as possible?" The boy lowered his eyes, "It wasn't like dat!" He muttered to lower for Sinister to hear. "I had thought as much, besides she was keeping me from getting to you!"

            "Darlin'?"

"Yeah Wolvie?" Ask Rogue as she got up out of her seat and made her way to the front of the X-jet. "Looks like the Professor has found where this guy's hidin' he's sent Kitty and Kurt to wait for us." She nodded before walking back to her seat, "Just make sure we get there as soon as possible, nothing good will come of him having Remy, Jean or Scott." Beast and Wolverine shared a glance, he had been the one to take Jean and Scott?

            Rogue shifted uncomfortable in her seat next to Colossus. "Is some thing wrong Rogue?" She looked up at him and smiled, "Ah thought ah'd got it all worked out, ya know, ah felt like I belonged at ya place. Then all this happens and Wolvie and Beast come back. Now ah'm not so sure."

"Sure about what?"

"Where I belong, who ah belong with."

"Da, I know that feeling. Don't worry you will find your way." She looked down at her lap and played with her gloves, "Ah hope your right sugar, ah really do." She flicked her attention back to Pyro who was sat clutching his lighter like a million dollars after Beast had tried to take it away from him. She smiled  at him then turning her attention back to the cockpit.

            "Approaching a landing site now." Came Wolverines clear voice, "Kitty and Kurt are waiting to accompany us to the base."

            "Merde!" Exclaimed Remy as he stared at the two teenagers laid out before him, each in their separate vessels. Bubbles of oxygen rippled through the yellow/green liquid and he shivered at the thought of being in one of those tubes. "Ah the memories this must bring back for you." Chirped a woman's voice from the shadows. "Bonjiour petite, an' what can Remy do for ya on dis fine day?" He turned to face the direction in which the voice had come., a girl not much younger than himself walked out of the shadows, dressed in a tight bodysuit that was a swirl of green and white. "Gambit, how nice to have you back with us." She chimed, he burrowed his brow slightly as he tried to shake off a sudden on come of dizziness. "Vertigo!" Came Sinister's firm voice, "Perhaps you should accompany the others, we appear to have company." He nodded as a red light began to flash rapidly. The girl ran off to the entrance. "Remy see ya still getting' others t' do ya dirty work."

"Harsh Remy. Perhaps, if your such and angel, I should have told your girl what you did to those poor, poor mutant children, before I killed her." Remy let a low growl escape his throat, "enough of your foolish behaviour boy, help me prepare these two for samples."

            "We got company people, heads up!" Wolverine growled as they prepared for an ambush. The first to step into view was a man who appeared to be fully dependable on machinery, "Mine!" Shouted out Shadowcat as she ran out and through his equipment. After a moment she paused and was no longer able to stay in her phased form, "Urgh! I can focus, I think I'm going to throw up." She yelled back to the others.

            Wolverine gave the signal for everyone to move out, Rogue nodded back to John, who threw a ring of fire around Shadowcat. "Nightcrawler get her out of there!" Yelled Rogue as she took to the air. She scanned the ground and yelled back down to the others, "Ah can see five active ones, take 'em . . .ufh!"

"ROGUE!"

"Comrade stay focused, leave Rogue to whatever it is. She'll shout out if she needs help."

            She shook her head and rubbed her back where she had hit the wall. A blonde woman floated in the air just above her and laughed, "Too much for you sweetheart?" Her sickly voice floated over the air. "That was a good hit but it's the last one ya'll get, sweetheart!" She spat venomously using Quicksilver's speed to run circles around the other mutant. "Pathetic!" She yawned and sent Rogue flying through the air. She slowed and stayed hovering in position, "I knew you'd be easy!" Chimed the blonde. "Carol ain't it?" The girl looked slightly taken back and Rogue grinned, "Well Carol, ya'll seriously underestimated me!" Her eyes turned pure white and even glowed slightly with electrical energy, "Ya'll appear t' be hard as nails, problem is, ya'll still act as a link t' the ground for lightenin' bolts, even up here!" The sky quickly turned dark, high speed winds rushing past her as she channelled a full power lightening bolt through the woman. "That hurt!" Screamed Carol as she charged.

            She sent out winds at the highest possible speed that she could muster, slamming Carol against a wall. Allowing the wind to carry her to Carol she pinned her to the wall and clutched her face with a bare hand. Both girls screaming at the pain caused by Rogue's mutation. "Rogue let go!" Yelled Wolverine as he charged into one guy putting his claws through his stomach and then running to separate the two. "Ah can't!" Stated Rogue as he crouched at her side, "Pull with me darlin' we'll get you off."

            Colossus grabbed Rogue around the waist and yanked her back, wolverine immediately moving to the woman's side and checking for a pulse. "She's alive." He sighed in relief as Rogue clutched to Colossus's uniform, tears running down her face. "She might as well be dead!" She spat.

"Don't be hard on yourself, wasn't your fault."

"No you don't understand! The only other time ah've felt a pull like that is when ah absorbed someone for the first time! Ah touched him for a second, no longer than five, and he was in a coma for over three weeks. Ah touched her for well over a minuet." Colossus's mouth dropped and he pulled the girl closer to his chest. Sharing a worried glance with Wolverine, "I'll carry the girl ya take Rogue back to the jet."

"No!" She stated wiping her face and standing tall, "ah have t' get Remy out!"

"Then we all go!" Shouted Wolverine as he pointed forwards and signalled for everyone to pair up and infiltrate the base.

            "That's the samples taken from the girl, now to start on the boy." Stated Sinister as he tapped a syringe and squirted it. "Dis is wrong!" stated Remy as he paced up and down the room. "Oh dear boy don't tell me you've grown a conscience."

            Both were interrupted when Vertigo ran in the room panting, "They've taken down Carol! We don't stand a chance! Ones running round destroying all our equipment!" Sinister gritted his teeth, "They got in?" All swirled round as the echo's of pained screams could be heard from all directions. "This girl, she . . . it's like she . . . sucked the life out of Carol." Remy's mouth dropped, Rogue? No his mind told him Rogue's dead it has to be someone else, but who else? His eyes frantically shifted around the room as he tried to decided if it was her, Sinister was quick to pick up on this. "You boy, Who is this girl?"

"Remy don't know!"

"Don't play with me, spit it out. Who?"

"Remy told ya he don' know!" Sinister frowned at him and raised his hand to Remy's neck "Boy if you're playing with me . . . ."

Vertigo's shrill screams made sinister lower his hand from Remy's neck, "GET HER OUT, OUT OF MY HEAD! OUT I SAID! OUTTTTT!" came Vertigo's cries as she collapsed at the feet of a young woman stood at the entrance to the room. A glow and furrowed brow indicating her use of psychic powers, "Her mental defences were very easy to think around!" She lifted her eyes up to look at the man, "Ah think its meh ya'll lookin' for!"
