Disclaimer: I think that we all know that I don't own X-Men Evolution. But just to be sure, I'll say it again: I don't own X-Men Evolution.

I groaned, and slowly sat up, finding myself in total darkness. I looked down, expecting to see some kind of floor underneath me.

There was nothing. Just…emptiness. I can't even begin to explain how scared I became then. Next thing I knew, I heard questions echoing all around me. MY questions.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Where am I?"

"How did I get here?"

"Where IS here?"

Suddenly, out of the darkness came a figure. Someone I knew.

"Kitty!" I cried, scrambling up and running over.

"Rogue!" she yelled, her reply echoing. She gave me a quick hug and then pulled away, chewing her bottom lip nervously.

"What's goin' on?" I demanded. I was scared. I hated to admit it, but I was. Kitty was here, so maybe she knew. Or if she didn't, at least I would have another person to go through it all with.

"You may think this sounds weird…" she started slowly, glancing at me with worried blue eyes.

I rolled my eyes. "Kitty, there can't be anything weirder than having actual voices in you're head an' knowing that you're not sane. What is it?"

"We're stuck in your head."

"Ah stand corrected."

Kitty sighed, agitated. "Well, you know how you kind of…fainted?" she asked.

I slowly nodded, wondering where all of this was leading to. But Kitty knew, so that was all that mattered.

Kitty glanced away, still chewing her bottom lip. "Well…" she said, as if trying to think of what to say. "Magneto…he kind of…took over."

I couldn't help but stare at Kitty. That couldn't be possible. How could something that technically didn't exist take over? Kitty's finally cracked, I thought. But, then, I heard that sentence echoing all around us. My cheeks burned with embarrassment. She wasn't supposed to hear that.

Kitty laughed. "I haven't cracked. I'm surprised I haven't, seeing as I'm not real. You would think that fact would get to you, but it doesn't. Anyway, it's true. Come one, I'll show you," she said quickly, grabbing my hand and pulling me through the darkness. Suddenly, I found myself surrounded by a ton of other people, all of them looking at one large circle that sat off the ground in the darkness. Through it, I could see tons of people passing by. Loud muttering echoed in the cavern, all of it trying to decide who was a mutant and who wasn't.

"Rogue!" Scott yelled. He walked over, looking more pissed off than I've ever seen him. "How you could let Magneto take over?" he demanded, glaring at me through his red shades.

I snapped. "Ya try having voices in your head, talking nonstop all day, never leaving ya alone! Try t' control them, try t' deal with it! It wears ya out, but ya wouldn't know anything about it! So until you've experienced it, just shut up!"

Silence. Pure, uninterrupted silence. Kind of spooky, in a way, but very much appreciated, nonetheless.

Kitty broke it all. "Rogue, you have to know something. Magneto is in control of your body. That means that he can use his powers as well as yours. He knows everything that you do," she said, biting her lip worriedly.

I groaned, massaging my temples. That couldn't be good. What were we going to do? Suddenly, my eyes widened. If Magneto could use my powers and his, he was going to do something bad. And I was pretty sure I knew what that was.

"He's going to try and kill all non-mutants," I whispered.

Chaos erupted. Mainly, I heard a loud, "WHAT?!" followed by, "HE HAD BETTER USE FIRE!" I ignored the last one, trying to think. What was Magneto doing? He had to have a plan. He wouldn't use his own power. No, he would go in fully armed. But how? Wait. He could use my power. Oh holy shit.

My apprehension and worry showed on my face. Kitty swallowed. "Rogue…? What's going on?" she stammered.

I swallowed. "He's going to steal the powers of everyone else at the Institute," I replied.

"Rogue, do something!" Kurt yelled. "We're stuck in your body!"

I gaped. How could I take control? I had no idea how! I had no idea how this came to be, either. So what the hell was I supposed to do?

"I'll do it!" Scott declared. "I'll take control, and won't let Magneto hurt anyone!"

"This is Rogue's body, let her do it!" yelled a voice. Wanda? Kitty? Jean? Who, I really didn't know. Nor did I care. But people were agreeing, wanting me to take control. To win. To save them, myself, and everyone else outside. No one wanted to be under Magneto's control, not even his disciples. That, I found remarkable. Amazing. And yet, the more people started cheering for me to take control, I could feel the weight starting to rest on my shoulders, as if the fate of the world was all up to me. And in a way, I guess it was. My world's fate was resting in my hands. It was all up to me. And that thought scared me. Yeah, I'm a loner. I grew up that way, and my power makes it a bit easier, I suppose. But I've worked with a team, counting on them to help and watch my back; to support me so that failure is never an option. Now, this was all up to me. I wouldn't have any backup; the voices couldn't do anything. I would be taking on Magneto. The fight would be between him and myself. If they wanted to fight, they would have to fight him separately. No, this was all up to me. This was my body: my fight. I was alone, once again. But this time, I had people counting on me. Being alone is hard enough. But this time, people were counting on me to win. The pressure is almost unimaginable. To know that people's lives, both nonexistent and living, are all resting on your capabilities, almost made me crack. I wanted to rip my hair out. I couldn't do it. Defeat Magneto? Even Professor Xavier had a hard time countering his offensive. And Scott, our leader, made decisions in battle that made things worse, and he's the best we have. How was I supposed to do better? It didn't seem better.

I felt something light resting on my shoulder, and turned around to find Kitty reassuring me with a gentle touch. She had a warm, encouraging smile, and her eyes seemed to know exactly what would happen. They said that I would win. I didn't know if that was trust, hope, or certainty, but at the moment it didn't matter. Kitty had faith in me. That in itself was both reassuring and frightening. I swallowed, trying to quell the feeling in my stomach that I would throw up.

I slowly made my way to the front, passing by everyone in my head, both friends and foes. They all patted my shoulders, giving me words of faith and encouragement. They all looked into my eyes, searching for the assurance that I would not fail. They smiled after staring into my eyes, as if finding what they were searching for. My heart raced, and I could feel energy rushing through me. The apprehension and adrenaline boosted my energy, making me want to get rid of it by jumping up and down. But I couldn't. I would need it in the coming fight; that much I knew.

Finally, I came to stand in front of the window. I swallowed, concentrating. This was my body. I was supposed to be in control. Suddenly, there was a loud echoing in the cavern-place that we were stuck in: my voice, contradicting what Magneto said. For a moment, he didn't know what was going on. Then, he seemed to realize what I was trying to do. That was when I started the attacks. I just concentrated on hurting him, and then next thing I knew, I could feel sharp jabs of pain shooting through me. Apparently, what he felt, I felt. And this guy was old and frail. Or, he was supposed to be. He put up a good fight, trying to strike back. Too bad I did the same thing he did, making my attacks powerful enough to blind him. In doing so, I became as elusive as he.

Vaguely, I could hear cheering around me. People were cheering me on, telling me that what I was doing was right. I felt more pain, and hollow grunts echoed around me. Suddenly, I heard another voice.

"Rogue! What's going on? Are you okay?" It was the actual, real Kitty. We were back at the Institute.

"Stripes! What the hell is going on?" demanded Logan.

My eyes opened to see what was going on. People swam in and out of the window and the screen seemed to warp. But I knew that I was winning the fight, and that was all that mattered. Worried screams echoed from the outside, and triumphant cheers surrounded me inside. I could actually begin to feel everything: the ground underneath my feet, the humidity in the Institute, the blinding pain in every part of my body. And I felt myself falling, finally seeing everything clearly around me for the first time just before I blacked out.
