=========================================================================

Days flew by fast.

Rogue was bored out of mind at the Brotherhood house. Even fighting the X-men would have made her happy. Mystique had still not come back, and everyone had been a little anxious.

The only interesting thing that had happened to Rogue was that she had been having strange nightmares. There was a hooded figure running, a mob, and something about being changed or experimented on.

Rogue had almost contact Professor Xavier for help or answers, but they dreams had started to fade, and Rogue was just glad she could start getting some sleep.

The untouchable mutant could also sleep better since she had heard from Kitty that Scott had awakened from his coma, and he was doing better. But that still left Rogue's thoughts to drift to Mystique.

She doubted the woman had not planned anything.

So far, even though Rogue was so bored, she had become closer to her "family".

Rogue felt the strongest about Lance. Of course, she wouldn't consider anything like dating. Her powers and Kitty Pryde would hinder that. Rogue hoped the two would get together, although she didn't know why she cared.

Pietro was also someone she would like to date. To her, he looked great, had some sort of sense of humor, and when he wasn't so cocky, he was actually considerate.

Fred and Rogue were just friends, and she enjoyed his company. They had good conversations. Plus, both had forgiven each other for their first meeting, which had ended with Rogue blasting Fred into the air and over to a dump.

Todd was a somewhat friend with Rogue as well, but their communication consists of Rogue screaming at Todd when ever she found slime or saw him eat a fly.

But now it was morning, and a weekday. School was almost over, thus ending Rogue's sophomore year. Lance would be ending his junior year, Pietro his sophomore year, and Fred and Todd would be finishing their freshman year.

Rogue suddenly snapped back to reality as a loud knock on the door echoed through the room. The young mutant moved to the front door and opened it.

"Hello, Rogue."

Rogue gasped sharply and took a step back.

"You!" She gasped in a hushed tone.

In front of her was the blue skinned shape shifter known as Mystique. Rogue backed away more. "You attacked meh!!"

"No Rogue. I was after the X-men, not you. Please Rogue, you know you'll be safe here." Mystique pleaded softly.

"You lied to meh! Ah knew the X-men weren't out to get me!! You faked it!!"

But then, Mystique's face grew so concerned and filled with emotion, that Rogue could never have imagined. If it was a trick, Rogue could not tell.

"Rogue, I want you to stay with us because I need to do know that you are okay. I was very close to your foster mother, Irene Adler, and will feel much better if you did not side with the X-men. I only tricked you because I know how convincing the X-men are."

Rogue stared in awe.

"But...why did you have to trick meh? Why not just ask me to come?"

"Because there are some many matters and things to consider. I felt that by doing it this way, it would pay off." Mystique whispered.

Rogue considered this, and knowing that her foster mother and Mystique are close. She was also more comfortable with the Brotherhood because she had stayed with them so long.

"Fine. Just don't keep any more secrets like that from me."

"Of course." Mystique replied, patting Rogue on the shoulder.

Behind her, the rest of the Brotherhood members were staring in awe.

"As for the rest of you, I have a surprise!" Mystique raised her voice. "Gentlemen, meet your new secret weapon." Mystique addressed the Brotherhood men.

Rogue gasped as someone else stepped inside.

A girl?!
 Rogue couldn't believe it as a girl walked toward Mystique. The untouchable mutant thought for a second that she would have someone to bond with so much, but then she quickly trashed the thought. There was no telling who this girl was.

Lance suddenly bumped passed Rogue. Before she could tell him off, Pietro bumped against her. Rogue grabbed onto the couch before she fell, glaring at the two guys who had almost knocked her to the ground.

"I'm Lance, the leader."

"I'm Pietro, his better half."

Rogue watched the two mutants, expecting them to get into a fight over a girl they did know.

The girl faced Lance first, giving him a pearly white smile.

"So you're the big strong leader." The girl whispered, rubbing Lance's upper arm. She touched his cheek softly. Rogue wouldn't have been surprised if Lance would've melted on the spot.

Wait till I tell Kitty, Rogue thought, amused.

"And what's your power, hot stuff?"

Pietro gulped and smiled sheepishly at the question, as the girl smoothed her hands over his shoulders. She peered into his eyes.

"Yo, is this going to cause problems in are friendships guys?" Todd asked, answered by no one.

"Introduce yourself, the floor is yours." Mystique stated to the girl.

"Hello, luvs. Name's Betsy Braddock. Don't forget it cause I ain't sayin' it twice. Except for maybe these too." The girl stated playfully, then she smiled at Lance and Pietro. They just stared with a little nod.

"What are your powers?" Rogue asked, hoping to snap the two helpless guys out of their trance ravine.

"Telepathy and telekinesis. Oh, and this too." Betsy held up a fist, which started to glow pink. In a second, a psychic blade formed around her fist. She let the others gawk at it before diminishing her weapon.

"Rogue, why don't you show Betsy to an open room?" Mystique asked nicely. Rogue nodded slightly.

"Follow me." She said dully, exiting up the stairs.

"I'll carry your stuff." Lance suggested to Betsy.

"No, I will!" Pietro added, grabbing Lance's T-shirt and yanking him backwards. Pietro took one step before Lance tackled him from behind.

"Fools!!" Mystique screamed. Pietro and Lance immediately froze in their scuffle. "If there is any more fighting like this I will throw both of you lovesick puppies outside!!"

Both guys nodded reluctantly, and then glared at each other.

Rogue giggled from the stairs.

"That's okay luvs, I can handle it." Betsy inquired, before following Rogue up the stairs, her TK pulling her stuff through the air.

Things just started to get really interesting around here, Rogue thought, as she showed Betsy her room. The purple haired mutant thanked Rogue and closed her door. This might even be fun.

==================================================================

A/N: Though this hinted a little Rogue and Lance or Rietro, it's just a little. This is mostly Romy centered. Also, although there is LancePietroBetsy thing, this will still be mainly Lancitty, it's just Lance's first impressions on Betsy. Although Pietro and Betsy might hold, maybe. Mystique was not the one watching Rogue from before. It was someone else. Suggestions welcomed. Please review.
