Rogue yawned and ran downstairs.

" Where were you?" Jean yelled.

Rogue turned around to see Jean staring at her angrily.

" What do you mean?" Rogue asked.

" I mean, where were you? You didn't come in last night." Jean said this last part loudly and got attention from Wolverine who had been making coffee.

" That's none o' yo' business." Rogue snapped.

" Actually I think it it is. Yesterday I saw you hanging out with one of the members of the Brotherhood. " Evan said.

" Is that right?" Wolverine asked Evan and gave Rogue a suspicious glance.

Rogue scowled.

" Since when have you been hanging out with the Brotherhood?" Wolverine asked.

" Does it matter?" She snapped.

" So you have been hanging out with them." Jean said accusingly.

" Not them, one." Rogue said.

" Who?" Jean asked.

" Why does that matter?" Rogue yelled.

" Because if you're gonna betray us Rogue, then we want to know why." Jean said.

" Listen Stripes, if you're hanging out with one of the members of the Brotherhood then it's probably a threat to everyone." Wolverine said.

" Oh, so that's what's this is all about? You don't trust meh, ya never did! Why did Ah even come here?" Rogue screamed.

" Yeah, why did you?" Jean asked.

Jean looked at Rogue angrily.

" I don't mean to offend her but she is being suspicious lately! And don't act like you all don't know what I'm talking about. Isn't that right, Scott?"

Scott looked at Jean and gulped. Jean gave him a smile and Scott wasn't able to disagree with her.

" Well, yeah, but we do trust you, Rogue!" Scott said.

"Liar! No ya don't! How could ya? Ya don't trust meh? Ah did everything to be lakhe ya! Apart of the X-men and this is what Ah get? Ah hate you Ah hate all of ya!!!" Rogue screamed and ran.

Wolverine watched Rogue leave and his eyes flashed yellow, a smile lit his usually grim features.

Rogue sneaked into the Institute through her window. She didn't want Xavier to know she had been out past curfew with a member of the Brotherhood. They'd probably freak. Kitty was sleep, as usual she slept like a log. But this time, something was strangely..off about her sleeping figure.

Moving she slowly shook Kitty, when she didn't respond she shook her again and then gasped as Kitty rolled over. Her eyes were rolled into the back of her head and her face was grotesquely figured.

Rogue gasped and was about to call for Wolverine when a gloved hand moved over her mouth and pinned her arms behind her back.

" Shush, Rogue, just be quite please." Mystique whispered and let go of her.

Rogue jumped back.

" What did you do to Kitty?" She snappped.

" It's just a little pill, harmless really, it'll give us enough time to talk, but you must whisper!" Mystique hissed.

" What do you want?"

" I want my daughter back." Mystique said.

" Ah'm not yo' daughter!"

" I know but, it wasn't supposed to be like this. Please, I just want you back. Join me, and we'll see the world." Mystique said.

" Ah've got friends here Mystique."

" Who? Wanda? She knows, she's coming with us. Listen Rogue, you can have what you've always wanted, a family. Here they can never understand you." Mystique pleaded.

Rogue winced, remembering what had happened earlier this morning. How they had all been against her, how Scott had been against her just for his lovely Jean. She had always liked Scott because he had always trusted her, but now.. Mystique's yellow eyes pleaded with her, and for a moment, Rogue felt as if this woman was her mother.

" Alright, but if Ah don't lahke it, Ah leave." Rogue said.

Mystique smiled at her and took out a glittering silver bracelet.

" What's this?" Rogue asked.

" I left Bayville in search of this. I got it from a government facility. It was first used to keep mutants from using their powers, but with a few modifications of some engineers I know, it will allow you to control your powers completely. It's unbreakable, the only way to get it off is when you take it off. Only your finger prints can take it off. In time you won't need it though." Mystique said.

Rogue stared at it awed and then put it on her wrist. Removing her gloves she looked at Mystique.

" Go ahead, try it." Mystique held out her hand.

Rogue grasped it.

" My Gawhd Ah can touch!! Thank you, ya don't know how much this means ta me." Rogue said and hugged her.

Mystique hugged her back and smiled. She had finally gotten back her daughter, and she wouldn't let anything take her away again.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yeah! Finally! I had to get through with the whole reason why she left and all, now that all that's outta the way, we can get back to the fun stuff. Rogue's gonna be tons of fun, see next chapter
