"Rogue! Like, wake up! Your bands are hear!!!" Kitty shouted as she jumped onto her roomates bed.

"Go away!"

Kitty roled her eyes and pulled away the covours. "Come on!" Kitty got off the bed and walked through the door into Rogues closet, and came out moments later, holding some clothes. Rogue sat up in time to have clothes thrown in her face. "Get up! The braceletts are hear."

"Kit! Get lost, its too ealy........wait? You mean the restrictors?!" Rogue shrugged off the clothes and looked at Kitty who nodded. Rogue jumped out of bed and ran out of the room and down to the proffesers office, still in her green and orange pj's.

"Are they hear proffeser?" She ast, out of breath.

"Yes. Rogue, please sit down." Xaviour said, gesturing to a seat infront of his desk.

Rogue sat down and watched the proffeser pull out a box and hand it over to her. Rogue opend the box and looked at the two bangles that lay in amoungst the blue tissue paper. They were both silver, with clear and green gems set into them. They looked just like jewelery. Rogue smiled and took them out, clipping them on and admiering them.

"If you look on the bangles, at the part that clasps together, you will find a small button. If you press that, and the green gem that is next to it, changes to red, then your power is active, and the electrical impulse in the bangle is switched off. But if its green, then you are free to touch any liveing thing you desire."

"Thank you proffeser." Rogue looked at the man and smiled. "So when do ah get ta go on mah first mission? Y'know, with the x-men?"

"Not yet Maybe after a few months of training."

"But.....Proffeser, Alistor wen't out on one just last night....."

"Ah, yes.....Onix, the stole away. There is a difference between going on a mission, and hideing in the jet so as when you get there its to late to turn back." The proffeser said with a smile.

"What if ah work harder in tha danger room...ah could-" Rogue closed her mouth, realiseing that she was 'pestering'.

"Don't be silly Rogue. You are not a bother."

Rogue looked up and saw Xavior tap his head. Oh yes, he's a telapath.

"Hello Cortez." Came a deep voice from a darkend corner of Alberto Cortez's office at the head quaters of Interscape.

Cortez snaped his head around, hearing the door lock its self. Cortez looked around the dark room and fumbled his way to a desk lamp and flicked it on, watching the dim yellow light flood the room, revieling the large form of a man, wearing....a buckit? On his head and A red cape. The mans eyes were glowing yellow, and her was floating almost a foot off of the ground. Cortez jumped at the sight and scowled at the introoder.

"How did you get in hear....you discustin-"

"Mutant? Yes Cortez. I am a mutant. And I am hear to put an end to this madness of yours. Selling mutants, that is discusting." The introoder stated, then held his hand out to Cortez, onley to have a metal chair pull up behing the quivering buisness man and buckle his knees, makeing him sit on it.

"My name is Magneto, and I am hear to warn you that if this trade continues..... you wont know what hit you."

"Get out of my office! Before I call security to remove you."

Magneto laghed. "You actually think that they can stop me? Not in this lifetime you pathetic homosapien. End this now. For your own safety, or the consiquences will make you pray for death by the end." Magneto said and headed towards Cortez. Cortez clenched his eyes closed and terned away, onley to open his eyes moments later, to an empty room.

Cortez reached for the phone and diald a number, then waited a moment. "Bruice? Did that extra order of mutans turn up?...yes...good. Kill any that do anything wrong....I want to leave a mesage for the mutants, one that thay wont forget." The man smirked and hung up the phone, then turned to his paperwork.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ah caynt belive ah have ta do the schooling thing! Ah havent ever been to school....well ah had home tutors with the kids in the houses where ah worked." Rogue whined. What did she need school for anyway. She didn't want a career, she wanted to be an x-man....woman.....whatever.

"Don't worry 'bout it Ro. I mean.... at least you'll have smarts ta make people feel stupid." Alistor said, nudgeing her shoulder.

"Ah don't want smarts.....ah wonna.... ah wonna go on missions and recruit people and stuff...ah wonna fight the bad guys." Rogue said with a pouting face.

"But you can't...."

"Why?! Ah kick ass in the danger room better than you do and youve already been on three missions in two weeks."

"Ro'......come on, don't be mad at me....Anyway, you know I highjacked those missions. Now Im stuck washing the jet everyday."

Rogue laghed at him. "Seriousley?"

"Uhmhu. It sucks....but hay, at least I get to sit around all morning and read magasines, but tell everyone Ive been working hard."

"I heard that Onix. Now your in deep trouble." Scott Summers said as he rounded the corner, suppriseing Alistor who droped his smile to glair at him.

"Get lost summers." He said plainlet, then grabbed Rogues arm to turn the other way.

"No way 'Alistor'. Cos your busted and thers not a damn thing you can do about it." Scott said, folding his arms with a clasic smirk.

"Y'know what Summers. You piss me off.... and you have needed a kicking fer a long time." Alistor said, then turned to face Scott, removeing his hand from Rogues arm. He stepped up to Scott, who reached for is glasses.

"Just try it Onix, and Ill blow you right into next year."

"Im counting on it-" Alistor was stopped when Rogue placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked back to see Rogue glairing at him and shakeing her head.

"Yea....you should listen to her. She just dosent want you to get hurt." Scott said with a smirk. He dropped his hands to his side and relaxed, onley to find Alistors crystalised fist, colideing with his jaw and knocking him back into a table which collapsed when Scott fell on it, and shatterd a vaise that was underneath him.

Alistor leaned over Scott and laghed. "Dude, you should have shut your mouth when you had the upper hand."

"Ali! Your such a jerk!" Rogue shouted as she pushed him.

"What? He was taunting me....." He said, supprised that Rogue was shouting at him.

"Is he still awake? Go away Ali! Go calm down!"

"Ro'-"

"Go! You allways told me that violence wasn't the answer to anything, and you should ride out taunting sessions till there gone! Listen to your own advise Ali, and go calm down." Rogue scowlded, watching Alistors face turn into a scowl at her.

"Right....whatever Ro'." He said, flatley as he stormed off down the corradoor out of site.

Rogue kneeled down amoungst the debree of the broken table and set Scotts shades right on his face, and looked to the deep red mark on his face.

"He didn't neet to use a crystal glove!" Scott moaned as Rogue helped him to his feet.

"You alright? Ah mean...any broken bones or somethin'?"

"No. Im okay, thanks Rogue."

"Come on. Lets get some ice on that."

Scott nodded and checked that his teeth were still in tackt.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In the kitched, Rogue set Scott on a stool and walked across to the freezer, looking for an ice bag. She found one and walked over to Scott, placeing it on his jaw, watching him wince.

"You stupid idiot." She stated plainley.

Scott looked in confusion at the statemeant. "Me?"

"Yea you. You just have ta keep pushin him don't you. Ah just don't understand why y'all caynt get along."

"Because, I don't like him Rogue."

"Wha not?!"

"Because thers something about him that seriousley pisses me off."

"And that would be?"

"He's too confidant.......and......Jean likes him." He mumbled, looking away.

".........Well he dosent like her...that way.....Ah don't think." Rogue said, folding her arms.

"How do you know that?" Scott said, raising his eyebrow.

Rogue seated herself and thought about it. "Ah d'know."

Scott stood up and walked closer to Rogue. Sitting himself on the side next to her. "We should find out." Rogue looked up to him.

"Scott..... Don't be stupid. Ali won't go near your girlfriend."

"Well 'Ali' better not. Ill kill him if he touches Jean."
