Rogue walked through the dewy grass, in the forrest outside the instituit. She reached a familiar spot, and sat dowen on a rock. She looked around. She was glad to be home, with her family....her family that juat kept expanding. Teren and Kurt got along like a brother and sister...and Logan was treating Teren better, more like a member of a family.....but with Teren, Logan was the same as he was with Kurt.

Rogue closed her eyes and looked up to the grey, cloudy sky as she felt rain dropps on her face, slideing through her hair and cleansing her of all that she wanted rid of. Warm, strong arms wraped around her and pulled her close.

"Remy 'asn't seen y' do dis in a long time mon cherie." Remy stated, then hugged to her. His short, copper hair dreanching and falling soggy over his face. He wraped his treanch coat around them both and stood with Rogue as she fed the strange fixation with the rain that she had.

Rogue stood up, pulling Remy up with her. She turned inside his treanchcoat and wraped her arms around him, laying her head on his chest, she snuggled into the warmth.

"Can we stay hear forever swamp rat?" She ast, with a tiredness in her voice. It was 6am after all.

"Non....Remy don' want y' gettin a fever chere...But we can stay together forever." Remy said quietley, then kissed the top of her soaked hair.

"Ah know.....Remy, yer not gonna decide one day that ya board of me are ya?"

"Non. Never mon amour. Remy be hear for y' always cherie." Gambit said.

Rogues eyes began to close, and all she could think about was her bedroom. She opend her eyes fully, after hearing the gasp from Remy. She looked up to him and then noticed that they were both standing in the room thay Rogue used to share with Kitty. The room in which Remy used to stalk her.

After Rogues return, she was moved up to the adult wing, since she was officially out of school, even though she wasn't there to graduate or anything. She had to resume the remainder of her school time after the winter hlodays, which was aproaching fast.

Rogue clenched her eyes shut, and found herself in her own room again, with Remy standing infront of her, slightley confushed and dripping all over her bergandy and blue rug.

"Now dat was nifty." He said, wafting away the soulphorous smoke.

Rogue went to sit down on her bed, but Remy stopped her. She rememberd, she was soaked. Remy chuckled and shook his head. He took off his dripping trenchcoat and hung it on the back of a chair, then took off his black shirt. Rogue questioned what he was doing for a moment, then saw the scar, across his muscley side from when he officially left the Acolytes.

"See sometin' y' like cherie?" He ast with a chuckle.

"No,...ah mean, yea....ah, aha was juss lookin at yer scar." Rogue stutterd, then turned a strange shade of scarlet in the dim morning light. Remy pealed off the top layer of Rogues soaked outfit, and reached for the pj's on her dresser. He was changeing her clothes? Right....okay, whats the catch?

Rogue raised an eyebrow and she brought her arms over her head, watching Remy as he slipped her orange and green pj top over her head. He smirked and leaned into her fece. "Wrap y' arms around my neck chere." Remy said, she did as instructed, and helped her put her pj bottons on, then he unwraped the long purple skirt that she was wearing.

"Y'all are expert at this aint ya?" Rogue said, fixing her eyes on his demon ones. Remy let out a soft chuckle.

"Non p'tite. Remy be expert at takeing y' clothes off."

"Oh yea, ah forgot." Rogue said, roleing her eyes.

"Can Remy sleep in ere fo' de next two houres before breakfast?" Remy ast, moveing away from Rogue. He picked up her wet clothes and put them in the laundrey basket.

"Wha not?" Rogue shrugged, crawling into bed. Remy kicked off his boots, and left his pants on, seen as they were dry (protected from that lovley trenchcoat that he wears) He crawled into the bed beside Rogue, and wraped an arm around her before drifting to sleep.

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

It was 1pm, and everyone had just had lunch. Scott and Jean were hanging out in Scotts room, listening to some music, and chatting. Bobby and Kitty were out somewhere trying out Remys plan to have a sucsessfull date, and ray and Roberto were hanging out with Sam who had to take Jamie along, at a games arcade.

Amara was with Boom Boom in the kitchen, chattering about, nothing of any intrest, whyle Ororo and Logan were testing the new simulation in the danger room, with Charles watching over them. Beast was in his lab.

Alistor and Teren were alone in the newley decorated library, and Kurt was in the rec room, with Amanda. They had a fight and were talking it out, with the help of Kate who sat on the couch watching tv, telling each one of them what to say to each other to make up...on request of both of them, though nither of them knew that the other was doing the same. (make sence?)

Kate suddenley sat up on the couch, her eyes flairing yellow. "Kurt!...Magneto's hear....he's after the stone." Kate got up and ran out of the room, as fast as her legs would carry her, and stood at the bottom of the stairs, faceing the door just as the alarms went off.

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

Rogue sat up in bed quickley, finding herself naked. She cringed and scrambled out of bed, quickley dressing. Then noticed that Remy was no where in sight. She dissmissed the thought and suited up. Meeting the team in the main hall.

Logan walked up to the group, still there was no sign of anyone trying to break in, yet the allarms were going crazy. Kate explained to the proffeser what she saw, and the fact that it was her who tripped the alars to get everyone ready. Logan walked up behind Rogue.

"You smell like the cajun." He said quietley.

"We were hangin out in the forest this mornin'." She said, not turning to face him.

"You forget that I can tell when your lying." Logan said.

"Okay fine, he fell asleep in mah bed when we got back in ta the mantion." Rogue said, not lying but not compleatley telling the truth. Logan smiled at her weekley, acsepting her excuse.

Xaviour explained about the stone, and stressed the fact that the Acolytes cant get it. Teren and Amanda took Kate upstairs, after receiving a warning from Alistor to keep her safe.

The metal framed of the fromt door to the instituit began to buckle, and the glass shatterd, then enterd the Acolytes with Mystique and Pietro. Charles wheeled forward.

"I know what your hear for Magnus, and I must stress to you the harshness of your actions. This is wrong, and we can't let you continue with your plans." Charles stated.

"Well, Charles. That's fine with us, but you do have a choice to join us in the cinquest."

"No way Magneto." Scott said, stepping forward. Magneto raised an eyebrow, uneffected by the threatening tone in Scotts voice, abs glanced over to Rogue, who stiffend.

This man had messed with her head, and caused her so much physical pain anfter being injected with all those chemicals, that her body just froze. She was so angrey with him, and wanted to hurt him so much, but at the same time, she was a litle intimadated.

"So this is where you dissapeard to Rogue? I figured you would, sooner or later." Rogue glaired even more, then heard Logan growl, his claws makeing that sound, at the fact that this guy was even talking to his daughter.

Magneto had a smirk playing on his lips and he reached out and took a magnetic hold on the adimantium in Logand body, raiseing him in the air slightley, and bending his claws outwards. Something rose inside of Rogue, and she was unable to controle her actions as she sent a telekanetic blast out from her body, knocking back all of the Acolytes and gaining a strange look from the team. She started falling backwards, then finding herself be caught by Remy before the darkness took over.

Pyro started the fight by shooting out fire skulls from his flame throwers. Boom Boom was in normal clothes, since she was just visiting the mantion, and made the next move, throwing her small bombs at the Acolytes. Then everyone broke off into their own litle batles, as Magneto pushed Charles around in his wheelchair, smaking him into walls and such.

~~~~~

Remy Held onto Rogue, looking at the surroundings to make sure that she would be safe if he left her on the stairs. Logan walked up and tapped her face, trancefurring some of his power to her, so as she would wake up from her forced sleep. Rogues eyes snapped open, to see them both standing over her. She thanked them and then stood up to fight. Comming face to face with Mystique, Rogue smirked.

~~~~~

Alistor was fighting off Hysteria, Boom Boom was jumping onto Pyro's back, so as he'd stop makeing the fire figure chase Amara, whyle Pryro let out that insain lagh and began to twurl around to get the blond off his back. Scott was protecting Charles from Magneto, along with Jean, and Logan was fighting with Sabertooth. Kurt was running rings around Vine, as Pietro ran rings around Ororo, and Collosuss headed towards Charses office, suddenley being stopped by a bolt of white energy shooting infront of him, he turned to see a crystalled up onix smirking at him, waveing a finger from side to side, as Scott left Jean protecting the proff and took over Hysteria.

~~~~~

Rogue threw the first punch at Mystique, catching the blue lady off guard, and sending her swurling to the floor. Rogue wasted no time and jumped onto the woman, delivering punch after agonizeing punch to the face of her adopted mother, who's lip was now split and bleeding. The woman brought her legs up and kicked Rogue off of her and stood up gasping.

"You tried ta kill me!" Rogue shouted, then suddenley gaining a huge amount of strength and kicking the blue shapeshifter into a glass display cabinate. Mystique stood up and narrowed her eyes on her daughter who hated her so.

She began to throw punches at Rogue, missing every one, then braught her knee to Rogues stomach, makeing Rogue fold down. Mystique extended her leg, and Rogue hit the ground ang slid backwards, being stopped and pulled to her feet by Remy who was trying to help Alistor stop Collossuss from entering Charls' study.

"Thank ya sugah." Rogue said, recieving a smirk and a wink from him, then went about his buisness.

~~~~~

Remy charged a card and flicked it at Piotr's feet. He grabbed Boom Boom, who was dangerousley close and coverd her as the card exploded, creating a crator in the hall of the instituit and shakeing the establishmeant. Collossus was hurtled outside.

"Wow...Thanks" Boom Boom said.

"Don' mention it p'tite." Remy said, then ran out to the garden to continue his fight with the metal man, after dropping a charged card in Pietro's path. The card exploded, and Pietro took a dive, releaseing Storm from the grap of the funnel that he had created around her. Storm followed Remy out to Collossus.

~~~~

Boom Boom hurled a bomb thing at Pyro, distroying his flame thrower. Pryro was mad so he started steeling flames and such from Magma, who was now in her Magma form, and heading towards Pyro.

~~~~

Hysteria opend his arms out to the sky, and pulled them back into a prayer position and closed his eyes. A dim ligh began to glow from his body, becomming brighter and brighter. Alistor rushed into him, knocking him backwards and ceacing the light.

"No way man." Alistor said, grabbing Hysterias shirt and pinning him to a wall.

"Whats wrong Alistor. Don't want your friends to get hurt?" He said with a smirk on his face, in his 'Captin Jack Sparrow' acsent.

"They wont. Weeve got you beat dude." Alostor said, wacking a crystalised fist over Antons jaw.

~~~~~~

Rogue ducked a kick, and dodged a punch. Mystique couldn't touch her. Rogue bagan, again, furiousley lashing out at the woman that was the cause of allot of her angar, thouraley enjoying the feeling, every time her fist connected with the skin of the woman. Rogue suddenley felt the pain of something hard, hitting her neck as she fell to her knees. Rogue twisted and fell on her back, seeing Magneto behind her.

Rogue forgot all about Mystique and aimed all of that furey at Magneto, who she couldn't touch no mater what she did. She became extremeley angrey, and didnt notice that she was causeing the storm that was rageing outside. Rogues eyes began to glow white, then she noticed Kate sitting at the top of the stairs with eyes that glowed the same. Kate was somehow unlocking the powers that lay dormeant inside of her. Rogue smirked at the sudden wash of supprise on magneto's face as Rogue used Jeans power, and took off his bucket. Rogue held her hand out, and a spark of electricity jumped from her body, to his, shocking him as he stiffend and fell to the floor. His clothes smokeing.

~~~~~

Kurt flipped through the vines that Vinessa was reaching for him with. Kurt telaported behind her, and grabbed her arms behind her back, but Vine kicked backwards, and swong Kurt forcefully into a wall, knocking him out with a crack.

Mysique dissapeard, outside. She took out a seringe from her belt and looked up at storm who was directing a hell of a lot of lightining at the metal man, as Remy was thrown into a wall by him. Remy faught the feeling, but couldn't help in, and was dragged, kicking and screaming into unconchiousness.

Mystique threw the needle into the air, and it hit storm in the neck, the force of impact injecting the liquid. Storm pulled it fro her neck and looked at it for a second before falling fast towards the floor. Collosuss caught the falling godess and set her down on the muddy, rain covoured grass gentley, then proceeded towards Charl's office. Walking inside, straight through the wall.

~~~~~~~~~

Logan and Sabertooth somehow got outside the instituit, and Sabertooth was injoured pritty back. Logan rammed his claws into the gut of the cat, and listened to the raor that came from it, as he sliced all the way up to his enamys chest, and watched the shock in his eyes as his huge, furry form hit the ground. Logan withdrew his blades and watched as the rain washed away the blood. Logan returned to the mantion where he saw Rogue kicking the liveing crap out of Magneto with a strength that onley Juganought had. He was so proud.

~~~~~~~~

Rogue used Jeans power to pull Magneto up from the ground, she pushed him against the wall, and the multiplied herself, throwing optic blasts and white energy at him. Magneto was becomeing drousey from the attack, and set his sightes on somethinf metal that was on the wall across the hall. He pulled it towards Rogue with all his force, but then saw it be shreaded by Wolvereen.

~~~~~~~

Boom Boom got the same treatmeant as Storm, and Amara passed out from over use of power that Pyro had been draining from her. Scott stepped in and smashed Pyro through a wall, createing yet another hole to the outside, and Jean was taken out by vine, whi came up behind her and stabbed her in the lower back with a daggar. Alistor saw this and called out to Logan who was closest to them. Logan turned and started diceing the extentions onto Vines body untill the vines were all gone, and the black tatoos were growing on her skin again.

~~~~~~

Rogue took a punch to the face by Magneto who somehow got out of Rogues grap. Rogues stolen powers had stopped working, she turned to where Kate was, and found that she was gone.

~~~~~

Kate stood infront of Collossus in Xaviors study, her eyes glowing a rich brown. Collossus sudenley dropped his metal armour and fixed on the child. //Prowfesser, I have Collossus' mind, but I can't hold him for too long, so can you get someone in hear to get rid of him before he turnes metal again?// Kates menta voice was strained, though it didn't dhow in her face.

Charles sent a telapathic message to Alistor, and he rean into the office, seeing Kate, locking the huge man in a trance. Alistor powerd up, dangerousley reaching the amount of poer that he couldn't controle, and directed it at the Russion, senting him back through the hole in the wall that he had created, and all the wat through the wall at the gates aswell. Alistor fell to his knees gasping.

~~~~~~

Hysteria raised his arms out to the sky and brought them back into a prayer possission again, makeing the light form again around his body. Then after a moment, his eyes snapped open, revealing an extremaley brightlight, followed by a whitness eminateing from him, expanding throughout the entire hall. When the light withdrew, all of the x-men fell, dazed and blind to the floor where they lost contious. Alistor saw this displey, but covoured him and kate in crystal so as they werent effected. Alistor took the crystal, and decrystalised.

"Listen Kate, I want you to run and hide ok?" Alistor wisperd to the litle girl. Kate shook her head.

"It won't work, Ive seen this, if you run with it, they'l find you an hour from now and you will die." Kate said, takeing the crystal crom him. She ran through the hole in the wall of the instituit and headed for the gates.

//Kate! No, you can't do this!//

//No, I can--// Kate was cut off when she ran into Mysique who picked up the kid by her blue dungarees. Mystique took the crystal and Alistor started to run towards Kate, but was held back by Pyro and Hysteria. He watched as Vine stroled up to Mystique and took kate. Vine threw the child onto the floor and pulled out a gun, aiming it at Kate's head.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Alistor screamed as he struggled desperatley.

Vine looked over to Alistor and smirked, putting pressure on the trigger of her trusty pistal.*Bang*

(A/N: OK, so, hears the mother of all cliff hangers mwahahahah. Do you wan't Kate to live? Or do you want poor Alistor to lose his Katie-sprite? Well, review and Tell me and I may just go with your desission, but im in a cruel mood so I betta get some responses or we will have a funeral to write.)
