Hope you enjoyed chapter 2, it was cool to write! Thanks again to all those that reviewed, please leave your suggestions for the rest of this story and others in your reviews. Also many people have had guesses at the horsemen, so far two are right! So keep trying to work out those! But Please you can only guess air because the element of water is a character that has been made up by me. Enjoy!

Air watching

'Rogue, you like totally ruined my favourite picture of me and Lance!' Kitty glared at her Gothic roommate accusingly.

'No I did nawt, Ya'll got no evidence to accuse me!' yelled Rogue.

'Like, wanna bet? I found it broken in your trash!

'Look, I swear…' tried Rogue.

'I mean just 'cause you like don't have anyone like Lance doesn't mean that you can like, take it out on my stuff!'

'Look Kitty, now just 'cause your stupid picture broke doesn't give ya'll the right at accuse me' Rogue screamed at Kitty.

Rogue stormed outside, Kitty was wrong, Rogue did have someone just as special as Lance was.

Kitty however stayed in her room. She had more important things to think about, her date with Lance was tonight! Just then Wanda walked into her room.

'Hi Kitty'

'Hi Wanda, you're like, just the girl I wanted to see! Can you help me pick out what I'm gonna wear?'

'What's the occasion?' Wanda teased.

'Shut Up! You know it's like, my date with Lance tonight, silly!' Kitty Giggled.

'Well, I'm no fashion expert but how about this pink dress with this…….'

Deep in the desert a lone figure stood alone awaiting the arrival of Apocalypse. The man had strange green marks on his face that looked as if a spider had engraved its web onto the mans face, the man only known as Mesmero. Mesmero watched as the comet that he had been waiting for appeared in the sky and in a magnificent display did a nose dive and landed with an earth-shattering 'CRASH' About 10 metres away from where he was standing.

A hand rose out of the Eye Of Ages and reached into the sky. Mesmero screamed as the hand contracted, causing him to implode.

Apocalypse lay back in the Eye Of Ages and transported himself under the sphinx. He rose out of the Eye Of Ages and placed the Cerebro-like helmet onto his head.

He focussed his powers and the Element of Air was identified…..

'Rogue' said Charles Xavier sitting with Beast in the Cerebro room of the Xavier institute.

'But how?' questioned Beast.

The professor said 'Rogue has no control over the element of air but Storm does,'

'What difference does that make?'

'Rogue has absorbed and will have full use of her powers, even before Apocalypse amplifies them.' Said the Professor sadly.

'I'll call a meeting of all the students,' said Beast.

'Yes, yes, you do that Hank 'the professor said as Beast left. This was very serious.

………………………………..........................................................................................

'Ready to go?' Lance asked Kitty.

'Sure' beamed Kitty 'Say Lance, where are we going anyway?'

'Wherever your young heart desires Miss Pryde!' Lance said dramatically.

'Lance!' Kitty laughed.

'Ok, I thought we'd go to the park and then out to dinner, Is that ok with you Madame?'

Kitty laughed ' Have you been taking French charming lessons with Gambit?'

'No I've just been listening into Fred's,'

They both burst out laughing. 'Seriously? Blob's pestering Gambit for charming lessons!?' asked Kitty.

………………………………..........................................................................................

All the X-men and the Brotherhood were now sitting in the debriefing room except for Rogue, Lance And Kitty and they were all shell-shocked by the recent news.

'Rogue?' questioned Jean.

'Are you sure man' asked Ewen.

'No, it can't be Rogue' Stated Logan but then he turned on a shocked Gambit 'You knew about this, didn't you Cajun?'

'Mon ami, Gambit only found out when Apocalypse was comin' back.'

'Yeah Right, don't expect me to believe that bub….,

It's true Logan, I searched his mind. Gambit did not know that it would be Rogue the professor said telepathically. Logan grunted.

………………………………..........................................................................................

Kitty and Lance were sat on a bench in the park, Kitty's head was resting on Lance's shoulder.

'Say Lance, did I ever tell you how my powers manifested?' asked Kitty.

'No'

'I was having a really bad nightmare and when I woke up I was in the basement. My parents thought that I had been sleepwalking but them they saw that my sheet was suspended in the ceiling. How did you realise that you were a mutant?'

Lance shuffled uneasily and then said 'well it happened when I was still at the orphanage…'

Kitty gasped 'orphanage?'

'Yeah, I was abandoned by my parents so I ended up there.'

'Oh Lance, I 'm sorry'

'It's okay. So anyway life was really hard for us kids there, there were loads of us and they crammed us into tiny rooms, loads of kids I knew had mental problems. The social workers thought that we were all worthless punks and they were pretty abusive to us, I lived there for years and it practically drove me insane Kitty.

Kitty was silent how could Lance have been through that much and still be so caring and sweet to me? she kept saying to herself.

'And I'd get so angry and frustrated, I could feel it building up inside me and one day I couldn't take it any more, I ran outside and started screaming…… and the ground began to move….. And then I can't remember what happened, I think that I fainted.'

'how old were you Lance?' asked Kitty, wrapping her arms around Lance's waist.

'About 7'

'Only 7! But how did you cope?'

'I didn't'

Lance put his arm around Kitty's shoulder and Kitty kissed him on his cheek, 'Do you remember your family?'

'I can only remember my sister, she was called Lucy. I used to protect her from my dad and mom when they tried to abuse us..'

'Abuse you!'

'Yeah my mom and dad abandoned us when I was 6 and Lucy was four, and yeah they were abusive parents. When we were put into orphanages we… we..got separated.'

'Oh Lance, I'm So sorry.'

'it's ok.'

Lance, Kitty I need you back at the institute now

Professor? Is that you?

yes Kitty now bring yourselves back

Why? What's wrong?

Rogue is one of the elements that Apocalypse is searching for Lance

No way, Rogue?

She has absorbed Storm's powers so she is the element of air and she's missing. Lance, Kitty please hurry back

'Oh Lance, it's all my fault she's gone! We were fighting and she left because I accused her of breaking the picture we took at the Sadie Hawkins Dance!'

Kitty sobbed into Lance's shirt and he held her close.

'Shhhh, it's ok, we'll find her. It'll all be Ok.'

'Really?' sobbed Kitty.

'I hope so Kitty, I sure hope so.'
