-In a holding complex-
A pair of brown, lifeless eyes opened and saw nothing but darkness. The figure looked around to see a padded room, full of tares. The figure, a man, got up and went over to the metal door that was separating him from the rest of the world. There were dents and scratches residing on it, results of his fits of rage. He hadn't tried to break out for a while though; the guards were given the OK to restrain him with any means necessary. But for the past month he had been devising a plan, a plan so great no one could foil it. He would break out today. His eyes began to show a spark of excitement. He peered out of the small window that was infused on the door and darted his eyes back and forth. He lifted his leg and kicked at the door with such force it flew off the hinges and slammed into the opposing wall. The man blinked, surprised by the amount of strength that was in the one kick. The sound of a siren jolted him from his thoughts. Alas, he had been standing there to long, giving the time for the guards to gather their senses. The man ran from the room and tore through the complex until he finally reached freedom in the deep Canadian wilderness. He ran like he never ran before, dodging bullets along the way.

-Back to Rogue-
Rogue's eyes fluttered open and groaned as she heard the swish-swish of the helicopter propellers. She sat up from her laying position and looked directly at Mystique. She opened her mouth to say something but Mystique placed her gloved finger to her lips.
"Shhh…don't speak, we'll talk when we get to the base." Mystique said. Rogue looked around the helicopter and let out a worried sigh. Kitty wasn't there.

-Back to Remy-
Remy slowly walked down the entrance tunnel, thinking about how he lost Rogue. He went through the door and saw Lance dabbing Kitty with a washcloth. Remy sighed and shook his head when Kitty gave him a look, as to say 'Did you save her?' Remy looked around the room and laid his eyes on Wanda and Pietro. They were screaming at each other again. Now Wanda was even more pissed off, seeing as how she was absorbed by Rogue.
"If you didn't go postal we wouldn't have lost Rogue to Mystique!!" Pietro screamed. Wanda's eyes turned into very tiny slits, glaring daggers at Pietro.
"If you didn't help Magneto we wouldn't have had Rogue here in the first place! Hell! We wouldn't even be here!" Wanda screamed. Then she immobilized Pietro's powers (ALA Magneto in DoR) and started to advance on him.
"Dats' enough! Both of ya! Stop actin' like a bunch of li'l children and help me t'ink o' a way to get Rogue back!" Remy said with a growl. Pietro looked at him with a mocking expression in his eyes.
"Awe, dose wittle Remy miss poor, defensless, little Roguey? Awe…." Pietro cooed. Remy grabbed him by his shirt and slammed him up against a wall.
"Listen, mon ami, dis ain' no time fo' games! Rogue be wit' an assassin! No matter how a person look at dat it ain' good." Remy said. He let Pietro go with an angry huff and went down the stairs to Rogue's room. Lance looked at Pietro.
"He's got it bad" Lance said.
"Duh…but now my neck hurts." Pietro whined. Wanda growled and lunged at him. Pietro zipped away with a laugh.
"Don't worry, brother. I'll kill you soon enough." Wanda said with a sneer. She then turned around and walked to her room. Toad peeked around the corner and hopped after her.
"YO! Baby! I know you want Toady, just express your love!" Toad said. Three seconds later Toad flew out of Wanda's room and hit the wall. "Oh yeah, she wants me."

-Back to Rogue-
The helicopter landed an hour later outside of a cabin. Well, more like a plethora of cabins. Mystique got out and walked to the wooden door of the biggest cabin. Rogue got out and cautiously followed her. Mystique stepped inside and went into a room behind a highly polished black wooden door. Rogue followed and realized she went into the kitchen.
"Listen Mystique, Ah'm not up fo' any of ya' games. Ah want to know why Ah'm here." Rogue said. Mystique turned around and looked at Rogue with an emotion of longing.
"You're here because I can help you." She said.
'Yeah right! I can't believe you didn't kill her when you woke up! My GOD! SHE'S BLUE!' Carol screamed.
'Ya' get used t' it.' Rogue said.
"No one can help me, if tha Prof. couldn' then neitha can you." Rogue said. Mystique smiled.
"But I know something he didn't know." She said with a glint in her eyes.

-Back to the man-
He ran for about three miles before the thought of slowing even entered his mind. Snow littered the ground, creating a scene eerily familiar to him. 'Where am I?' He ran into a clearing that ran into the highway. Then he remembered. 'Great...they brought me to Canada…' He walked along side the deserted highway for what seemed like forever until he came upon a little Diner. He stumbled through the door and went over to a pay phone. He shoved one claw into the coin slot and dialed a number…

-Back to Rogue-
"What do you know that tha Prof. didn'?" Rogue asked.
"Xavier always thought that you couldn't touch because of your mutation. He was wrong. You have the ability to control your absorbing abilities. When your powers first manifested you were with Cody. Remember him? He was such a nice boy. Anyway, when you were with him your powers came to light. We always knew it would happen, when was the major question. Unfortunately, while you were with him, while you were touching him, you put him in a coma. That scarred you beyond recognition. From there on you were afraid to touch, scared of hurting someone else you cared for. But that doesn't matter anymore; it is no longer a factor. You can touch Rogue, you just need to free your mind…let go of your insecurities. Let go of the pain." Mystique said.
"How…you can' know…" Rogue said. She was getting her hopes up. Mystique's eyes had another glint in them.
"You don't want to get your hopes up, do you? Well then…MORPH! GET IN HERE!" She screamed. After a few minutes a guy came in and glanced at Mystique.
"You rang?' he asked with a smirk. Mystique glared.
"Turn into Rogue." She said. He did. Rogue gasped. The likeliness of them was uncanny.
"Morph's powers are to shape shift, like mine, but unlike me, he also takes on a mutants mutations. Likewise, if he morphed into someone with cancer he would have cancer for as long as he was in that form." Mystique said. "But that isn't the point. He can touch, Rogue." Rogue had a blank look.
"So ya' saying that it's all in mah head?" She asked. Mystique nodded.
'NO! YOU NEED TO SUFFER! Stupid blue witch! SHUT UP SHUT UP!' Carol screamed. Rogue smirked inwardly.
'Well now…that foils ya diabolical plan now, doesn' it, Carol?' Rogue asked. Carol grumbled and retreated into the back of Rogue's mind.
"When can ya teach meh?" Rogue asked anxiously.
"As soon as you want." Mystique said.
"Good, let's start then."

-Back to Logan-
The phone continued to ring. No answer.
"PICK UP THE PHONE!" Logan screamed. Everyone looked at him. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN AT?!?" He screamed. Every quickly looked away. Logan slammed the phone down and walked out of the Diner. He saw a motorcycle and punched the guy off it. He hopped on and began driving south.
-Back to Kitty-
Kitty was in her room silently packing a bag with the cloths Magneto got for her. She phased out of the tunnel and walked towards the plane that was waiting for her. She climbed in and they took off.
"So, Kitty…how was your stay?" Scott asked.
"Horrible! I am so glad I like, got out of there! I hope Lance won't be mad at me…he doesn't even know I left." Kitty said.
"Don't worry…Jean will tell him…So, where's Rogue?" Scott asked.
"She…Mystique took her." She said. Storm looked at Kitty soothingly.
"It's ok child. We'll get her back soon enough." She said in a comforting voice.
-Back to Rogue one week later-
Rogue was doing really well. She managed to keep contact with Psylocke, one of Mystique's employees. But after about five minutes she absorbed her and Psylocke fainted. But still, 5 minutes…you can do a lot in 5 minutes. Rogue sat down for a rest on the couch. 'It's not tha' bad here…tha people are nice…an Ah'm learnin' control…plus no one is annoying meh…' She thought. But she spoke to soon.
"Howdy." A blonde haired boy said. She looked at him.
"Hey." She said.
"Youz Rogue, righ'?" he asked.
"Ya." She said.
"Ah'm Sam Guthrie, AKA Cannonball. Ah work fo' Mystique." He said. (Yeah I know he sposed to be good, but not no mo…)
"But yo' like, YOUNG! How old are you?" Rogue asked.
"15." He said.
"Dayum…" She said with a shocked look on her face.

Woo! This chapter is longer too! Remy's lines changed, I think he came off a little too possessive in the first version. And I totally revamped Mystique's explanation. Nifty. Anyway…
Rogue14: I'm glad you like it!
