======= Chapter 12 =======
Hours later
Lexa was in her room on her bed just staring into space, she didn't really feel like doing anything and she hadn't eaten in the whole day so that may be a reason she was low on energy.
'Knock' 'knock'
"Come in" she answered to the knock on her door. Rogue walked in with a tray of food.
"Feelin hungry sugah?" she asked. Lexa shook her head no while Rogue put the tray on a desk in the room.
"Lex not eating isn't healthy," Rogue scolded the youngest member.
"I'm hungry shit is that so bad," Lexa snapped receiving a glare from Rogue.
"Your going to eat even if I have to stuff the food in your mouth," Rogue growled out, Lexa rolled her eyes but put some food in her mouth to get Rogue to get off her back.
"So how yah feeling?" Rogue asked watching her drink so Coca Cola (yummy lol).
"I don't know…that's why I've been hanging around in here most of the day…you?"
Rogue shrugged and looked out the window, "I'm not feeling anything."
"Liar…but I bet you and Wanda have been distracting yourselves by training huh?" Lexa asked noticing Rogue was in her training outfit and her cheeks were a bit flushed.
"No we're doing it cause it's fun," Rogue said getting a 'yeah right look' from X-23.
"You know what's funny?" Lexa asked looking out her window.
"What?"
"Finding out about that hurt more than the beatings I got when I was younger…yet it wasn't even physical," Lexa mused.
"We're used to physical pain and we can take it…but the kind of pain your feeling is more emotional…and we haven't had that in about two years."
"I've never felt half the emotions I feel now…weirdly enough a part of me feels like crying," Lexa said not looking at Rogue. Rogue looked at the youngest member of the MoE…it was weird having her talk like that…she seemed so vulnerable and X-23 wasn't known for weakness. She was the determined one who never gave up…but at the moment she looked like a lost child.
"Then maybe yah should," Rogue said answering her previous statement.
Lexa gave a bitter smile, "I'm to proud."
"The fact that you admitted to wanting to cry proves your not," Lexa didn't answer. "Yah know why ah think you won't do it?" Rogue asked and Lexa looked up to her waiting for her to continue.
"Ah think yah don't wanna cry cause it'll be telling yourself that yah actually have feelings for him…"
"No it's probably because I've never cried…the emotion I felt most of my life was anger and all this had brought new ones out that are just complicating my life…but maybe your right," she whispered the last part to herself. Rogue moved and sat on the bed besides her.
"Well if yah wanna cry…you can have mah shoulder to cry on," Rogue whispered. X-23 looked up at Rogue in mild surprise…she had never really shown such a soft spot but then again she shouldn't have been surprise…after all wasn't she wallowing in pity at the moment…something she had never done. She rested her head on Rogue's shoulder but didn't cry…she wasn't ready to go that far yet…
Wanda walked in on the moment and looked amused at finding the leader of the group in such a position with the cold determined one of the team.
"I'm sorry…am I disturbing a Kodak moment?" she asked, both looked up at her showing no amusement. Wanda got the hint that they were in a serious mood and got in one herself. She walked over to them and also got on the bed sitting next to Rogue.
"What now?" she asked Rogue. Rogue turned to look at the girl she thought of as the powerful one.
"Ah dunno…ah guess we'll just have to act like nothing has happened."
"I don't think pretending that nothing has happened will be easy…especially since a lot has happened."
"I agree with her…even though she confused me," Lexa commented.
"Wow I never thought I see the day you three would be moping around," all three turned to look at Betts who was standing in the doorway of the room. She walked in the room smirking at them.
"I'm the sweetest one of the group yet I'm the only one not moping," she mused out loud.
"Hello…you can't be the sweetest…there is no sweetest…WE'RE EVIL!" Lexa commented.
"I'm glad you figured that out…but now maybe you should act like it," Betts commented looking out the window.
"If I ignored my feelings so easily…shouldn't it be way easier for you guys?" she asked not facing any of them.
"No…you're the wise one so realizing that you can't be with warren because he's the X-men's Angel was easier for you to accept…unlike us who are more evil but are stupider," Lexa reasoned giving the violet hair Goth a small smile.
"But you're right…we can't do this…we need to get up and just put this behind us," Rogue added and got up from the bed to stand next to Betts who was in front of it.
"Yup we're single, sexy, evil gothic seductress…isn't this the life?" Lexa asked joining them.
"Since we're in your room doing nothing I'm going to say 'No'," Wanda voice said getting up.
"Great idea luv…we should get out of the house and have some fun," Betts said smirking.
"Where should we go?" Lexa asked.
"Leave that to me…" Betts answered and walked out the door. Soon Rogue and Wanda left to get change-leaving X-23 alone in the room. Lex looked at them leave and then turned to look out the window at the sky. The first star of the day brightly twinkled, as she looked at it X-23 had one though running through her head…
'Did we make the right choice? Listening to our heads…instead of our hearts…' she shrugged the thought off and walked to her closet wondering what to wear to their outing.
======= Cute Boys =======
X-Mansion…on the roof
The day was getting dark pretty fast even though it was a bit early. Many stars had now showed up to grace the sky with their beauty…four young man watched it all…their face expressions emotionless. Gambit and Pyro were leaning on the ceiling rail smoking. Angel was sitting on it and Pietro was pacing back and forth arguing with his own thoughts. After more silence Pietro spoke up getting annoyed of it.
"What the fuck are we doing up here moping around like…a bunch of girls?" he asked looking at them.
"They are just girls…anyway we have girlfriends or have you forgotten that?" he asked John who took out his lighter and played with it but looked at Pietro.
"And you two…you can have any woman you want…so why are we here looking like love struck idiots who just got their hearts broken?"
The three other boys looked shocked at his outburst.
"Wow…guess he's taking this the hardest huh mate?" Pyro asked Gambit.
"Looks like it mon ami," Remy replied while Warren shook his head agreeing with them.
"WHAT? I'm the one whining about being here and thinking about a bunch of hot girls that lied to us and you think I'm taking this the hardest?"
"Well…since you just called them hot girls…yes," Warren said. Pietro gave a frustrated growl and was going to say more when his cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey pie-pie…I just wanted to know where your taking me and what time your going to pick me up?" Crystals voice asked. Pietro's eyes widened…that's what he had agreed to earlier…shit.
"Uh…how bout in an hour and a half?" he asked hopefully.
"Alright, I can't wait," she said and hung up. They guys were looking at him.
"Come on," he said walking towards the door that led back downstairs.
"Come on where?" John asked.
"We're going out tonight," he called back while the other watched him go. John looked at Remy who shrugged and followed the speed demon. Soon John followed and warren not wanting to be alone on the roof followed reluctantly.
======= MoE =======
2 hours later
"What is this place?" Lexa asked looking at the building she had never seen before.
"This is a new club that just opened…see what better way to forget everything in our troublesome minds then a little dancing and flirting?" Betts answered as they waited in line to get in. Wanda was wearing a red corset looking top with another black top covering half on the red one. She was wearing a short black leather skirt. Rogue was wearing a very dark green tank top with a big split in the middle showing a nice view of her chest and a loose black skirt. Lexa was wearing a black leather vest with nothing under, the vest was open in the middle but held in place by a small silver chain that was barley noticeable, she was also wearing short shorts. Betts was wearing black caprice with a top that was opened in the back and in the front was only cover her chest area, the straps were around her neck. They weren't wearing their watches so their hair and eyes were in their normal appearance. They waited in line for ten minutes before the reached the door where a fancy looking man waited.
"Do you have reservations?" he asked politely getting a confused look from the Goths.
"Reservations? To get in a club?" Betts asked.
"This is no ordinary club…it's a club/restaurant…so do you have reservations and ID's?" he asked again.
"Uh…no but do you have any tables open?" she asked hopefully. The guys looked at his list and started turning the pages on his clipboard.
"Yes table 43 is opened…for…Halloween next year," he answered. Lexa was getting annoyed; she got in front of the guy and slyly ran her finger down his face to under his chin. When it reached the chin she made her hand clench into a fist and her claws slowly started to come out barley pressing against his skin.
"Are you sure you don't have any tables open for now?" she asked.
"Uh actually yes…there has just been a table opening," he said whimpering and rechecked the list.
"Table 35...enjoy your stay,' he said trying to get as far from X-23 as he could. She smiled sweetly and walked by him, Betts followed with her head in her hand shaking it softly, Rogue and Wanda had wide smirks and held back laughs.
"Really Lex I can't take you anywhere," Betts complained but Lexa didn't hear her since the club music faded her voice out.
"Come on lets find the table," Wanda shouted so they could hear. Then they went off in search of the table. Betts was the one to spot the table and when she did her jaw dropped.
"Oh Oh," she said.
"Shit!" (Wanda)
"Mah Gawd"
"Oh Hell No!" (Lexa)
The girls mumbled…they looked at table 35 which was empty but that wasn't what got their attentions. At table 34, which was in front of table, 35 were members of the X-man and Acolytes. (People who are there from those teams are anyone 21 and older except for John and Pietro who have fake id's and Kitty who snuck in to be with lance ;D)
"Ok lets go," Lexa, said turning around to walk back.
"No…we came to have a good time and we're going to stay and have a good time," Rogue said grabbing X-23's wrist and stopping her.
The other two nodded while Lex sighed and followed Rogue who started walking towards their table. Scott was the first to notice them; he got up and prepared for trouble. As he got up everyone at the table turned to look at him and then turned to look where he was looking and noticed the MoE walking towards them. Pietro who the moment had Crystal in his lap and was nuzzling her neck stopped as soon as he caught sight of the midnight hair. Scott put his hands on his glasses and got ready to shoot when…
'What are you planning to do Boy Scout? Are you really going to expose us all as mutants mate? And allow innocent humans to pay for the mistake your about to do?' Betts told him telepathically only to be interrupted by perfect jean.
'What do you want here?'
'Sheesh calm down Mrs. Stick up the ass Summers…can't your favorite enemies come to have fun?' Betts replied with a smirk. At the same time Rogue and Wanda passes Scott and their table without looking at them. Lexa passed him but locked eyes with Pietro for a couple of seconds; Betts passed them last and sat behind Scott in table 35.
Pietro didn't turn back to look…he didn't have to…he could feel X-23's eyes burning a hole in the back of his head, Crystal looked at him a little annoyed at the fact that he had stopped nuzzling her neck.
Remy, John, and Warren though did turn to look at them, Betts and Lex grinned at them as Rogue and Wanda avoided eye contact by looking down at the dance floor.
"Great idea Pietro, we're really not gonna think about them now," John whispered to Pietro who was sitting next to him.
"How the hell was I suppose to know?" he asked.
"Know what? Crystal asked.
"Nothing" both answered and shut up.
"This isn't going as planned is it?" Betts asked Wanda and Rogue who looked like they were wearing head phones with a Britney spears CD playing at full volume…
======= 1 hour later =======
Everything was a lot calmer, Rogue and Wanda looked like they were bored out of their minds but Betts and Lexa moved along to lots of the songs playing. Lex would sing some of the songs she knew very loudly…just to get on the nerves of the people in front of her. The X-men didn't pay much attention to the fact that enemies were sitting behind them, the Acolytes members would look at them once in a while, Pietro just sat very still knowing Lexa was behind him. Crystal sat on his lap wondering why he had started acting so weird.
Betts was happily moving to the music taking sneak glances at warren…oh how badly she wanted to talk to him…but she wouldn't. So instead she entertained herself by throwing little papers at Scott's head and having them stick in his hair, whenever he felt it and looked at her she looked like a perfect angel.
Wanda and Rogue kept their eyes on the dance floor ignoring the looks Gambit and Pyro gave them, they feared that if they looked into their eyes they might fall and not be able to get up. So they just sat there and drank their sex on the beach…trying to get the image of having sex on the beach with a couple of hot boys with accents out of their heads.
Lexa was moving around in her chair dancing to the music…yet one of her eyes was on the guy in front of her and it wasn't leaving. She knew he knew she was watching…which is the reason he stopped fooling around with crystal. She didn't admit it but it pained to her to see Crystal sitting on his lap, getting frustrated with herself she stopped staring and shut her eyes…trying to get him out of her head. Her ears suddenly perked up hearing a song she liked. As it played she started singing it very loudly…loud enough for a certain blonde in front of her to turn back to look at her.
/I don't give a fuck 'cause I'm just drinkin, smokin, straight west-coastin
Bitches puttin ass in motion, pussy poppin, sex promotion
Got a car? [Raise it up]
Got a blunt? [Blaze it up]
That's your bitch? [On these nuts]
Really I don't...[Give a fuck]
All I really know your hoe wants to be with me and she ain't playin
And what I'm sayin (she creams with me)
And screams between the sheets/
Before Crystal could tell Lexa to shut the hell up Pietro knowing what she was going to do grabbed her arm and squeezed it making her squeal in pain instead. Betts saw that Lexa was stopped singing and was looking at crystal waiting for her to say shit. She wanted her to say something…she wanted to be provoked…she wanted an excuse to kick her ass. Betts quickly got up and grabbed X-23's arm and pulled her dragging her to the dance floor.
"We'll be done here for a while," Betts called to Rogue and Wanda who looked on amused. They turned to look at Pietro who was now facing them and they perked their eyebrows at him. He rolled his eyes and watched Lexa leave as Crystal started asking him why he stopped her.
/When she's all alone she sneaks out to be with me
And what I'm sayin is she ain't playin (she creams with me)
And sleeps between the sheets/
Wanda and Rogue turned to the dance floor again to find Betts and Lexa. Even though they had barley gotten down there they had already caught they eyes of some guys since Betts was dancing with some guy and Lexa wasn't dancing with one guy but with four. She was in the center moving her body without caring about at thing in world. Betts turned up to look at them.
'Join us?' she asked telepathically. Wanda and Rogue looked at each other.
"Come on…we didn't come to just sit around here," Rogue said getting up and walking down to the dance floor being followed by Wanda. They got down there and immediately got asked to dance. They accepted the offer and dance with the strangers knowing very well that people were glaring at their new partners…but knowing that just made the dancing even more fun.
After a while Nina Sky's 'Move your body' came on and the girls dumped the strangers and just danced with each other. While dancing Lexa started getting Goosebumps and stopped. She was getting that feeling again…like something bad was going to happen. She looked around the club at all the people dancing…looking for something unusual. She looked up t their tables and saw nothing…except Pietro staring at her curiously. He had noticed her actions…she looked into her eyes for a while but turned away when she heard…
"What's wrong?" Betts asked.
"Nothing," she answered and went back to dancing even though the feeling that something bad was going to happen still lingered deep down in her mind.
If she had kept looking up at where their drinks were…she would have noticed a blond quickly show up and drop a different clear liquid into each of their cups…then leave as quickly as a shadow.
======= Sinister's Base =======
/It starts with
One thing, I don't know why/
White Queen walked into one of Sinister's bases finding it very quiet, which was odd. She looked around but found no one so she went to Sinister's office. She knocked but no one answered so she went to the conference room. There she found Sinister, and he seemed to be waiting. Also there were drapes all around the room hiding most of the room. Emma knew something was wrong.
"Sinister…where is everyone?" Emma asked.
"White Queen…did you know that you MoE was associated with X-men, Brotherhood and Acolyte members?" he asked. Emma looked at him confusedly…then it hit her. The reason the girls were so out of it after they had discovered the true identities of many people in the opposite team.
/It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme/
"No," she whispered in a low voice. He nodded.
"Your mission as their mentor has just ended…by the end of the night they won't even be alive," he said sounding like he didn't even care.
"What?"
"You heard me."
"Mr. Sinister I think you're making a mistake…they might have had a connection with them but I'm positive it's over. We have been nothing but loyal to you!"
/To explain in due time
All I know, time is a valuable thing/
"I was told they were seen together today…and even if it were true it's to late…Vertigo is on her way."
White Queen's worried faced calmed when she heard Vertigo was going, "Sinister…Vertigo has trouble killing a fly," she said dryly. "Anyway X-23 isn't stupid…she'll catch Vertigo's scent before she's a mile away from them."
"I've made sure that wouldn't get in the way," Sinister answered with a wicked smile.
"What are you planning to do?" Emma asked glaring at him.
"Don't worry about it…just know that they are no longer your responsibility." Emma shook her head slowly and started walking towards the door at a fast pace…suddenly the drapes around the room fell…to show that her allies surrounded her.
/Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day/
"Are you running to them?" Sinister asked as White Queen started at the people stopping her from leaving. Omega Red was in front of the doorway, she slowly turned to look at Sinister and from the corner of her eyes looked at the Nasty Boys and others that had her surrounded.
"What if I am?" she asked.
/The clock ticks life away It's so unreal, didn't look out below/
"Then you will have to die with them," Sinister answered dangerously and the Nasty boys started closing in on her. Emma though about what she had to do…she may not be the most powerful telepath in the world…but that didn't mean she wasn't powerful.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because…sometimes you have to let go," was the answer and she watched as morph and the nasty boys got closer.
As she watched them get closer she knew what it was she had to do. Psionic force bolts went all around the room and within seconds everyone including Sinister were on the floor unconscious. Emma quickly made her way out of the room…her psionic force bolts could make one person stay unconscious for a day or longer, but she had just used it on more than 10 people making the affects last no longer than 5 minutes. She opened a portal and was about to walk through when fingertips rested on her back; she didn't have to face the person to know who it was.
"Don't make me do it!"
Emma stood still, "So I guess this means you have chosen your revenge on wolverine is more important…than the lives of the people you've lived with for the past two years?" she asked.
/Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn't even know/
"Those girls made you soft Emma, remember that we are evil and our loyalties stand with our team," Deathstrike answered without a sign of sympathy.
"They are part of the team."
"They've betrayed us."
"That's a lie and you know it."
"So you will betray us as well and make me do this to you?" Yuriko asked getting ready to unleash her nails, if she had paid more attention she would have noticed a change in the White Queen. The white queen turned slowly and glared up at Deathstrike…Yuriko unleashed her nails into Emma's stomach but it was already to late. The White queen had already formed her diamond hard body…and with it came a cold cold heart. The White Queen quickly struck at Deathstrike…she didn't have her telepath abilities but she was always great at hand-to-hand combat.
/Wasted it all just to watch you go/
Within more seconds Deathstrike was on the floor breathing heavily, Emma looked up since she heard voices far down the hall…she slowly got out of her cold demeanor. After she was back to normal she looked down at Yuriko with sad eyes but then walked through the portal…leaving her team behind.
/I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when/
======= MoE =======
/I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
And lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter/
Betts stopped dancing and whipped the sweat of her forehead.
"Hey any one want to take a break?" she asked getting tired of dancing. Rogue and Wanda immediately brought their hands up. Lexa looked disappointed but stopped dancing as well.
/One thing, I don't know why
Doesn't even matter how hard you try/
"Lets go back up to our tables then," Betts said walking up towards it.
"Ah'll catch up," Rogue said and Wanda gave her a curiously look.
"Ah gonna go get something to drink," Rogue told her looking at her face.
"Why we still have our Sex on the beach?" Lexa asked.
"All this dancing got me in the mood for a piña colada," Rogue responded.
"Ok…you know where to find us luv," Betts answered and kept walking.
"Yah guys want anything?" Rogue asked Lex and Wanda who nodded no and followed Betts, Rogue shrugged and walked towards the bar. She told the bartender what she wanted and instead of watching him fix her drink looked around at the moving bodies. She looked over to the club exit and noticed someone who looked very familiar. Rogue squinted her eyes at the blonde hair and slim figure the person quickly left the building without looking at her.
/Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard
Despite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property/
'Ah coulda sworn…that girl was Vertigo,' Rogue mused and turned to get her drink. Seconds later she heard lots of people screaming and running towards the exit. She looked up to where all the commotion was coming from and oddly enough it was coming from where their table along with the X-men's where. Rogue forgot about her drink and ran towards her friends.
As Rogue got closer she noticed things flying around almost hitting her, many people were also running by her screaming, 'Mutie', at this Rogue fastened her pace. She got to her table and saw that Wanda's hand were glowing blue but they were also holding her head …she seemed to be in pain. Before she could reach the young witch a hand grabbed her writs and she came face to face with Cyclops.
"What are you guys up to?" he sneered. Rogue pulled her arm away and punched him straight in the jaw so he could get out of her face.
/Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before/
"Wanda what's wrong?" Rogue asked as she kneeled down next to her. Wanda didn't respond but suddenly a blue light hit Rogue throwing her in to the air. She safely got back on the ground thanks to her flying abilities. The she turned to look at Betts and Lexa, Betts was looking around very oddly and Lex was dodging the items that Wanda's power was throwing her way.
"Betts what are you doing?" Rogue called out to her, before she could answer Wanda gave a big scream and her elbows that were resting on the table were now on the floor. She seemed to huddling down on the ground and her yells got louder. Rogue walked towards her ignoring all the things that were crashing into her. She finally reached Wanda on the floor.
"Wanda what's wrong?" she asked again grabbing her shoulders, Wanda looked up at Rogue pain visible in her eyes.
"Rogue…I…can't…stop…it," she heard her say before a big blue blast once again threw her into the air. Rogue walked towards Betts.
/You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end/
"Betts what's wrong with her?"
Elisabeth didn't answer…she looked like she hadn't even heard the question her mouth opened and closed as if she was saying something but no words were coming out. Rogue looked at her confusingly but then turned to X-23, who looked just as confused and freak as she was. Everyone in the club had evacuated by now and the only ones left were them, the Acolytes, Warren, Pietro, Crystal, Lance, kitty and Jean who was holding an unconscious Scott.
"Rogue…we need to knock Wanda out…before she kills us all," X-23 called out why dodging a flying Knife. Wanda who had heard looked up at Rogue.
"Do it!" she commanded.
"But…" Rogue started.
"No buts Rogue you need to do it," Wanda yelled at her. Rogue once again made her way towards the Scarlet Witch this time blocking all the things that were flying towards her. When she reached Wanda her sapphire eyes looked into her emerald ones…as quickly as she could Rogue hit her slightly on the neck with enough force to knock her out. Wanda fell to the ground not hitting it hard since she was already on it and everything suddenly calmed down. Rogue went to pull Wanda up and was helped by a concern looking John.
/You kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when /
"What the bloody hell was that about?" he asked.
"Ah…dunno," she answered as he pulled the scarlet Witch into his arms bridal style, her body just dangled in his arms looking as if it had been broken. Rogue looked at it and then faced Psylocke who was sitting in the table looking like if nothing had happened.
"Betts what the hell are you doing just sitting around?" still no answer. Lexa who was standing next to John started coughing. After a couple of seconds of still looking at Betts Rogue heard Lexa speak to her.
"Rogue…I think something's wrong," she said in a worried voice. Rogue turned to look at X-23. Her hand was on her mouth since she was still coughing, when she pulled it back and showed her hand to Rogue, she found a bright scarlet puddle of blood.
/I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter/
Lexa was bleeding from her mouth, Rogue looked at her eyes wide. X-23 coughed again this time not putting her hand to her mouth…lots of blood poured out. Then Rogue noticed it…Lex was crying…not normal crying…her tears weren't normal clear color…they were a bright red.
"Lex sit down!" Rogue commanded and got an odd look from X-23.
"Why?" she asked confusedly but then felt liquid running down her nose and cheeks, she finally caught the scent of blood all over her face and her widened as she walked towards a chair and sat on it. Rogue walked to her and lifted her face up.
/I had to fall
And lose it all/
"Close your eyes and don't speak," she told her hoping that would stop the bleeding and she handed Lexa a napkin since she started bleeding from her nose as well.
"Betts a little help here!" Rogue once again started talking to the oldest who seemed oblivious to everything around her. Rogue went over to the purple haired Asian and touched her shoulder getting a very weird reaction from here. Betts looked around frantically looking for the source that had touched her.
/But in the end
It doesn't even matter/
'Betts?' Rogue asked curiously telepathically. Betts head snapped and looked at Rogue, yet her eyes seemed to look right through her as if she wasn't even there.
'Rogue…where are you?'
"What do yah mean where am ah…ah'm right in front of you Betts,'
'You sure?'
'yah'
'Then um…I think we have a problem luv'
/I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go/
'yah ah know…Wanda's unconscious and Lex's is having a bleeding problem and for some reason you haven't listen to me calling you'
'What?…oh never mind…Rogue…I can't see, and the reason I haven't listen to anything you say is because I can't hear you. I've been shouting out to you guys can't you hear me?'
'No…ah've seen yahr mouth open and close as if you are saying something but nothing comes out' Rogue answered, since she was paying attention to Betts she failed to see that Lexa dropped on the floor unconscious…she had lost to much blood. Before Betts could say anything else and as Rogue noticed Lexa on the floor and then White Queen ran into the club looking flushed and in a hurry.
/And for all this
There's only one thing you should know/
"I'm to late" she said looking at the unconscious Scarlet Witch and X-23 she then walked towards Rogue.
"Emma what are yah doing here? Nevamind… something's happen…"
"I know…but Rogue why are you ok?" Rogue looked confused at the question. Before Rogue could answer the White Queen looked behind her and hurried to stand in front of Rogue. "Never mind how your ok…Rogue you need to absorb me," Emma told her grabbing her hand…
"What? No" Rogue said pulling away.
"Rogue I don't have time to explain he's after me!"
"Who's after you?"
"Rogue trust me…you'll know everything…but you have to absorb me before it's to late." Rogue looked at Emma startled…the expression on White Queen's face was so serious; Rogue reluctantly put her hand out and grabbed Emma's absorbing her. After seconds Rogue let go and stood still in place…Emma's memories playing through her head.
/I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go/
Emma was woozy after Rogue let go…but she had let go just in time because as soon as she had a big pain appeared in her head. The White Queen put her hands on the side of her head and got down on her knees…he had found her.
She looked up at Elisabeth; 'Betts…put your shield up' she gave the message to the young telepath…then she fell to the ground and was surrounded by darkness.
Betsy did as she was told…she knew something was wrong…she could feel it. Emma wanting her to put her mental shield up was proof that something wasn't right…and then she felt it. A telepathic presence nearby…Mesmro.
/And for all this
There's only one thing you should know/
Rogue was still standing in place her eyes were a misty blue…everything about White Queen was running through her head…the unconscious Deathstrike…being surrounded by Morph and the others…seeing Gambit at the door…getting to the museum in time to see X-23 about to attack Wolverine…talking to Selene and Maragali…meeting the X-men for the first time…moving to Bayville…training the young Goths…joining Sinister…life as the leader of the inner circle.
Rogue couldn't take it anymore…she gave a small yell, as the memories passed by like a movie on rewind. Suddenly it all stopped and Rogue's eyes started to turn back to their beautiful emerald shade. She felt her whole body was numb, she couldn't move…not even to stop herself from falling backwards. She gave one last look at X-23, Scarlet Witch, Psylocke and White Queen…then her eyes shut and she never felt herself hit the ground.
/I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter I had to fall
And lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter/

======= Chapter 12 =======
Hours later
Lexa was in her room on her bed just staring into space, she didn't really feel like doing anything and she hadn't eaten in the whole day so that may be a reason she was low on energy.
'Knock' 'knock'
"Come in" she answered to the knock on her door. Rogue walked in with a tray of food.
"Feelin hungry sugah?" she asked. Lexa shook her head no while Rogue put the tray on a desk in the room.
"Lex not eating isn't healthy," Rogue scolded the youngest member.
"I'm hungry shit is that so bad," Lexa snapped receiving a glare from Rogue.
"Your going to eat even if I have to stuff the food in your mouth," Rogue growled out, Lexa rolled her eyes but put some food in her mouth to get Rogue to get off her back.
"So how yah feeling?" Rogue asked watching her drink so Coca Cola (yummy lol).
"I don't know…that's why I've been hanging around in here most of the day…you?"
Rogue shrugged and looked out the window, "I'm not feeling anything."
"Liar…but I bet you and Wanda have been distracting yourselves by training huh?" Lexa asked noticing Rogue was in her training outfit and her cheeks were a bit flushed.
"No we're doing it cause it's fun," Rogue said getting a 'yeah right look' from X-23.
"You know what's funny?" Lexa asked looking out her window.
"What?"
"Finding out about that hurt more than the beatings I got when I was younger…yet it wasn't even physical," Lexa mused.
"We're used to physical pain and we can take it…but the kind of pain your feeling is more emotional…and we haven't had that in about two years."
"I've never felt half the emotions I feel now…weirdly enough a part of me feels like crying," Lexa said not looking at Rogue. Rogue looked at the youngest member of the MoE…it was weird having her talk like that…she seemed so vulnerable and X-23 wasn't known for weakness. She was the determined one who never gave up…but at the moment she looked like a lost child.
"Then maybe yah should," Rogue said answering her previous statement.
Lexa gave a bitter smile, "I'm to proud."
"The fact that you admitted to wanting to cry proves your not," Lexa didn't answer. "Yah know why ah think you won't do it?" Rogue asked and Lexa looked up to her waiting for her to continue.
"Ah think yah don't wanna cry cause it'll be telling yourself that yah actually have feelings for him…"
"No it's probably because I've never cried…the emotion I felt most of my life was anger and all this had brought new ones out that are just complicating my life…but maybe your right," she whispered the last part to herself. Rogue moved and sat on the bed besides her.
"Well if yah wanna cry…you can have mah shoulder to cry on," Rogue whispered. X-23 looked up at Rogue in mild surprise…she had never really shown such a soft spot but then again she shouldn't have been surprise…after all wasn't she wallowing in pity at the moment…something she had never done. She rested her head on Rogue's shoulder but didn't cry…she wasn't ready to go that far yet…
Wanda walked in on the moment and looked amused at finding the leader of the group in such a position with the cold determined one of the team.
"I'm sorry…am I disturbing a Kodak moment?" she asked, both looked up at her showing no amusement. Wanda got the hint that they were in a serious mood and got in one herself. She walked over to them and also got on the bed sitting next to Rogue.
"What now?" she asked Rogue. Rogue turned to look at the girl she thought of as the powerful one.
"Ah dunno…ah guess we'll just have to act like nothing has happened."
"I don't think pretending that nothing has happened will be easy…especially since a lot has happened."
"I agree with her…even though she confused me," Lexa commented.
"Wow I never thought I see the day you three would be moping around," all three turned to look at Betts who was standing in the doorway of the room. She walked in the room smirking at them.
"I'm the sweetest one of the group yet I'm the only one not moping," she mused out loud.
"Hello…you can't be the sweetest…there is no sweetest…WE'RE EVIL!" Lexa commented.
"I'm glad you figured that out…but now maybe you should act like it," Betts commented looking out the window.
"If I ignored my feelings so easily…shouldn't it be way easier for you guys?" she asked not facing any of them.
"No…you're the wise one so realizing that you can't be with warren because he's the X-men's Angel was easier for you to accept…unlike us who are more evil but are stupider," Lexa reasoned giving the violet hair Goth a small smile.
"But you're right…we can't do this…we need to get up and just put this behind us," Rogue added and got up from the bed to stand next to Betts who was in front of it.
"Yup we're single, sexy, evil gothic seductress…isn't this the life?" Lexa asked joining them.
"Since we're in your room doing nothing I'm going to say 'No'," Wanda voice said getting up.
"Great idea luv…we should get out of the house and have some fun," Betts said smirking.
"Where should we go?" Lexa asked.
"Leave that to me…" Betts answered and walked out the door. Soon Rogue and Wanda left to get change-leaving X-23 alone in the room. Lex looked at them leave and then turned to look out the window at the sky. The first star of the day brightly twinkled, as she looked at it X-23 had one though running through her head…
'Did we make the right choice? Listening to our heads…instead of our hearts…' she shrugged the thought off and walked to her closet wondering what to wear to their outing.
======= Cute Boys =======
X-Mansion…on the roof
The day was getting dark pretty fast even though it was a bit early. Many stars had now showed up to grace the sky with their beauty…four young man watched it all…their face expressions emotionless. Gambit and Pyro were leaning on the ceiling rail smoking. Angel was sitting on it and Pietro was pacing back and forth arguing with his own thoughts. After more silence Pietro spoke up getting annoyed of it.
"What the fuck are we doing up here moping around like…a bunch of girls?" he asked looking at them.
"They are just girls…anyway we have girlfriends or have you forgotten that?" he asked John who took out his lighter and played with it but looked at Pietro.
"And you two…you can have any woman you want…so why are we here looking like love struck idiots who just got their hearts broken?"
The three other boys looked shocked at his outburst.
"Wow…guess he's taking this the hardest huh mate?" Pyro asked Gambit.
"Looks like it mon ami," Remy replied while Warren shook his head agreeing with them.
"WHAT? I'm the one whining about being here and thinking about a bunch of hot girls that lied to us and you think I'm taking this the hardest?"
"Well…since you just called them hot girls…yes," Warren said. Pietro gave a frustrated growl and was going to say more when his cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey pie-pie…I just wanted to know where your taking me and what time your going to pick me up?" Crystals voice asked. Pietro's eyes widened…that's what he had agreed to earlier…shit.
"Uh…how bout in an hour and a half?" he asked hopefully.
"Alright, I can't wait," she said and hung up. They guys were looking at him.
"Come on," he said walking towards the door that led back downstairs.
"Come on where?" John asked.
"We're going out tonight," he called back while the other watched him go. John looked at Remy who shrugged and followed the speed demon. Soon John followed and warren not wanting to be alone on the roof followed reluctantly.
======= MoE =======
2 hours later
"What is this place?" Lexa asked looking at the building she had never seen before.
"This is a new club that just opened…see what better way to forget everything in our troublesome minds then a little dancing and flirting?" Betts answered as they waited in line to get in. Wanda was wearing a red corset looking top with another black top covering half on the red one. She was wearing a short black leather skirt. Rogue was wearing a very dark green tank top with a big split in the middle showing a nice view of her chest and a loose black skirt. Lexa was wearing a black leather vest with nothing under, the vest was open in the middle but held in place by a small silver chain that was barley noticeable, she was also wearing short shorts. Betts was wearing black caprice with a top that was opened in the back and in the front was only cover her chest area, the straps were around her neck. They weren't wearing their watches so their hair and eyes were in their normal appearance. They waited in line for ten minutes before the reached the door where a fancy looking man waited.
"Do you have reservations?" he asked politely getting a confused look from the Goths.
"Reservations? To get in a club?" Betts asked.
"This is no ordinary club…it's a club/restaurant…so do you have reservations and ID's?" he asked again.
"Uh…no but do you have any tables open?" she asked hopefully. The guys looked at his list and started turning the pages on his clipboard.
"Yes table 43 is opened…for…Halloween next year," he answered. Lexa was getting annoyed; she got in front of the guy and slyly ran her finger down his face to under his chin. When it reached the chin she made her hand clench into a fist and her claws slowly started to come out barley pressing against his skin.
"Are you sure you don't have any tables open for now?" she asked.
"Uh actually yes…there has just been a table opening," he said whimpering and rechecked the list.
"Table 35...enjoy your stay,' he said trying to get as far from X-23 as he could. She smiled sweetly and walked by him, Betts followed with her head in her hand shaking it softly, Rogue and Wanda had wide smirks and held back laughs.
"Really Lex I can't take you anywhere," Betts complained but Lexa didn't hear her since the club music faded her voice out.
"Come on lets find the table," Wanda shouted so they could hear. Then they went off in search of the table. Betts was the one to spot the table and when she did her jaw dropped.
"Oh Oh," she said.
"Shit!" (Wanda)
"Mah Gawd"
"Oh Hell No!" (Lexa)
The girls mumbled…they looked at table 35 which was empty but that wasn't what got their attentions. At table 34, which was in front of table, 35 were members of the X-man and Acolytes. (People who are there from those teams are anyone 21 and older except for John and Pietro who have fake id's and Kitty who snuck in to be with lance ;D)
"Ok lets go," Lexa, said turning around to walk back.
"No…we came to have a good time and we're going to stay and have a good time," Rogue said grabbing X-23's wrist and stopping her.
The other two nodded while Lex sighed and followed Rogue who started walking towards their table. Scott was the first to notice them; he got up and prepared for trouble. As he got up everyone at the table turned to look at him and then turned to look where he was looking and noticed the MoE walking towards them. Pietro who the moment had Crystal in his lap and was nuzzling her neck stopped as soon as he caught sight of the midnight hair. Scott put his hands on his glasses and got ready to shoot when…
'What are you planning to do Boy Scout? Are you really going to expose us all as mutants mate? And allow innocent humans to pay for the mistake your about to do?' Betts told him telepathically only to be interrupted by perfect jean.
'What do you want here?'
'Sheesh calm down Mrs. Stick up the ass Summers…can't your favorite enemies come to have fun?' Betts replied with a smirk. At the same time Rogue and Wanda passes Scott and their table without looking at them. Lexa passed him but locked eyes with Pietro for a couple of seconds; Betts passed them last and sat behind Scott in table 35.
Pietro didn't turn back to look…he didn't have to…he could feel X-23's eyes burning a hole in the back of his head, Crystal looked at him a little annoyed at the fact that he had stopped nuzzling her neck.
Remy, John, and Warren though did turn to look at them, Betts and Lex grinned at them as Rogue and Wanda avoided eye contact by looking down at the dance floor.
"Great idea Pietro, we're really not gonna think about them now," John whispered to Pietro who was sitting next to him.
"How the hell was I suppose to know?" he asked.
"Know what? Crystal asked.
"Nothing" both answered and shut up.
"This isn't going as planned is it?" Betts asked Wanda and Rogue who looked like they were wearing head phones with a Britney spears CD playing at full volume…
======= 1 hour later =======
Everything was a lot calmer, Rogue and Wanda looked like they were bored out of their minds but Betts and Lexa moved along to lots of the songs playing. Lex would sing some of the songs she knew very loudly…just to get on the nerves of the people in front of her. The X-men didn't pay much attention to the fact that enemies were sitting behind them, the Acolytes members would look at them once in a while, Pietro just sat very still knowing Lexa was behind him. Crystal sat on his lap wondering why he had started acting so weird.
Betts was happily moving to the music taking sneak glances at warren…oh how badly she wanted to talk to him…but she wouldn't. So instead she entertained herself by throwing little papers at Scott's head and having them stick in his hair, whenever he felt it and looked at her she looked like a perfect angel.
Wanda and Rogue kept their eyes on the dance floor ignoring the looks Gambit and Pyro gave them, they feared that if they looked into their eyes they might fall and not be able to get up. So they just sat there and drank their sex on the beach…trying to get the image of having sex on the beach with a couple of hot boys with accents out of their heads.
Lexa was moving around in her chair dancing to the music…yet one of her eyes was on the guy in front of her and it wasn't leaving. She knew he knew she was watching…which is the reason he stopped fooling around with crystal. She didn't admit it but it pained to her to see Crystal sitting on his lap, getting frustrated with herself she stopped staring and shut her eyes…trying to get him out of her head. Her ears suddenly perked up hearing a song she liked. As it played she started singing it very loudly…loud enough for a certain blonde in front of her to turn back to look at her.
/I don't give a fuck 'cause I'm just drinkin, smokin, straight west-coastin
Bitches puttin ass in motion, pussy poppin, sex promotion
Got a car? [Raise it up]
Got a blunt? [Blaze it up]
That's your bitch? [On these nuts]
Really I don't...[Give a fuck]
All I really know your hoe wants to be with me and she ain't playin
And what I'm sayin (she creams with me)
And screams between the sheets/
Before Crystal could tell Lexa to shut the hell up Pietro knowing what she was going to do grabbed her arm and squeezed it making her squeal in pain instead. Betts saw that Lexa was stopped singing and was looking at crystal waiting for her to say shit. She wanted her to say something…she wanted to be provoked…she wanted an excuse to kick her ass. Betts quickly got up and grabbed X-23's arm and pulled her dragging her to the dance floor.
"We'll be done here for a while," Betts called to Rogue and Wanda who looked on amused. They turned to look at Pietro who was now facing them and they perked their eyebrows at him. He rolled his eyes and watched Lexa leave as Crystal started asking him why he stopped her.
/When she's all alone she sneaks out to be with me
And what I'm sayin is she ain't playin (she creams with me)
And sleeps between the sheets/
Wanda and Rogue turned to the dance floor again to find Betts and Lexa. Even though they had barley gotten down there they had already caught they eyes of some guys since Betts was dancing with some guy and Lexa wasn't dancing with one guy but with four. She was in the center moving her body without caring about at thing in world. Betts turned up to look at them.
'Join us?' she asked telepathically. Wanda and Rogue looked at each other.
"Come on…we didn't come to just sit around here," Rogue said getting up and walking down to the dance floor being followed by Wanda. They got down there and immediately got asked to dance. They accepted the offer and dance with the strangers knowing very well that people were glaring at their new partners…but knowing that just made the dancing even more fun.
After a while Nina Sky's 'Move your body' came on and the girls dumped the strangers and just danced with each other. While dancing Lexa started getting Goosebumps and stopped. She was getting that feeling again…like something bad was going to happen. She looked around the club at all the people dancing…looking for something unusual. She looked up t their tables and saw nothing…except Pietro staring at her curiously. He had noticed her actions…she looked into her eyes for a while but turned away when she heard…
"What's wrong?" Betts asked.
"Nothing," she answered and went back to dancing even though the feeling that something bad was going to happen still lingered deep down in her mind.
If she had kept looking up at where their drinks were…she would have noticed a blond quickly show up and drop a different clear liquid into each of their cups…then leave as quickly as a shadow.
======= Sinister's Base =======
/It starts with
One thing, I don't know why/
White Queen walked into one of Sinister's bases finding it very quiet, which was odd. She looked around but found no one so she went to Sinister's office. She knocked but no one answered so she went to the conference room. There she found Sinister, and he seemed to be waiting. Also there were drapes all around the room hiding most of the room. Emma knew something was wrong.
"Sinister…where is everyone?" Emma asked.
"White Queen…did you know that you MoE was associated with X-men, Brotherhood and Acolyte members?" he asked. Emma looked at him confusedly…then it hit her. The reason the girls were so out of it after they had discovered the true identities of many people in the opposite team.
/It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme/
"No," she whispered in a low voice. He nodded.
"Your mission as their mentor has just ended…by the end of the night they won't even be alive," he said sounding like he didn't even care.
"What?"
"You heard me."
"Mr. Sinister I think you're making a mistake…they might have had a connection with them but I'm positive it's over. We have been nothing but loyal to you!"
/To explain in due time
All I know, time is a valuable thing/
"I was told they were seen together today…and even if it were true it's to late…Vertigo is on her way."
White Queen's worried faced calmed when she heard Vertigo was going, "Sinister…Vertigo has trouble killing a fly," she said dryly. "Anyway X-23 isn't stupid…she'll catch Vertigo's scent before she's a mile away from them."
"I've made sure that wouldn't get in the way," Sinister answered with a wicked smile.
"What are you planning to do?" Emma asked glaring at him.
"Don't worry about it…just know that they are no longer your responsibility." Emma shook her head slowly and started walking towards the door at a fast pace…suddenly the drapes around the room fell…to show that her allies surrounded her.
/Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day/
"Are you running to them?" Sinister asked as White Queen started at the people stopping her from leaving. Omega Red was in front of the doorway, she slowly turned to look at Sinister and from the corner of her eyes looked at the Nasty Boys and others that had her surrounded.
"What if I am?" she asked.
/The clock ticks life away It's so unreal, didn't look out below/
"Then you will have to die with them," Sinister answered dangerously and the Nasty boys started closing in on her. Emma though about what she had to do…she may not be the most powerful telepath in the world…but that didn't mean she wasn't powerful.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because…sometimes you have to let go," was the answer and she watched as morph and the nasty boys got closer.
As she watched them get closer she knew what it was she had to do. Psionic force bolts went all around the room and within seconds everyone including Sinister were on the floor unconscious. Emma quickly made her way out of the room…her psionic force bolts could make one person stay unconscious for a day or longer, but she had just used it on more than 10 people making the affects last no longer than 5 minutes. She opened a portal and was about to walk through when fingertips rested on her back; she didn't have to face the person to know who it was.
"Don't make me do it!"
Emma stood still, "So I guess this means you have chosen your revenge on wolverine is more important…than the lives of the people you've lived with for the past two years?" she asked.
/Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn't even know/
"Those girls made you soft Emma, remember that we are evil and our loyalties stand with our team," Deathstrike answered without a sign of sympathy.
"They are part of the team."
"They've betrayed us."
"That's a lie and you know it."
"So you will betray us as well and make me do this to you?" Yuriko asked getting ready to unleash her nails, if she had paid more attention she would have noticed a change in the White Queen. The white queen turned slowly and glared up at Deathstrike…Yuriko unleashed her nails into Emma's stomach but it was already to late. The White queen had already formed her diamond hard body…and with it came a cold cold heart. The White Queen quickly struck at Deathstrike…she didn't have her telepath abilities but she was always great at hand-to-hand combat.
/Wasted it all just to watch you go/
Within more seconds Deathstrike was on the floor breathing heavily, Emma looked up since she heard voices far down the hall…she slowly got out of her cold demeanor. After she was back to normal she looked down at Yuriko with sad eyes but then walked through the portal…leaving her team behind.
/I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when/
======= MoE =======
/I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
And lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter/
Betts stopped dancing and whipped the sweat of her forehead.
"Hey any one want to take a break?" she asked getting tired of dancing. Rogue and Wanda immediately brought their hands up. Lexa looked disappointed but stopped dancing as well.
/One thing, I don't know why
Doesn't even matter how hard you try/
"Lets go back up to our tables then," Betts said walking up towards it.
"Ah'll catch up," Rogue said and Wanda gave her a curiously look.
"Ah gonna go get something to drink," Rogue told her looking at her face.
"Why we still have our Sex on the beach?" Lexa asked.
"All this dancing got me in the mood for a piña colada," Rogue responded.
"Ok…you know where to find us luv," Betts answered and kept walking.
"Yah guys want anything?" Rogue asked Lex and Wanda who nodded no and followed Betts, Rogue shrugged and walked towards the bar. She told the bartender what she wanted and instead of watching him fix her drink looked around at the moving bodies. She looked over to the club exit and noticed someone who looked very familiar. Rogue squinted her eyes at the blonde hair and slim figure the person quickly left the building without looking at her.
/Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard
Despite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property/
'Ah coulda sworn…that girl was Vertigo,' Rogue mused and turned to get her drink. Seconds later she heard lots of people screaming and running towards the exit. She looked up to where all the commotion was coming from and oddly enough it was coming from where their table along with the X-men's where. Rogue forgot about her drink and ran towards her friends.
As Rogue got closer she noticed things flying around almost hitting her, many people were also running by her screaming, 'Mutie', at this Rogue fastened her pace. She got to her table and saw that Wanda's hand were glowing blue but they were also holding her head …she seemed to be in pain. Before she could reach the young witch a hand grabbed her writs and she came face to face with Cyclops.
"What are you guys up to?" he sneered. Rogue pulled her arm away and punched him straight in the jaw so he could get out of her face.
/Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before/
"Wanda what's wrong?" Rogue asked as she kneeled down next to her. Wanda didn't respond but suddenly a blue light hit Rogue throwing her in to the air. She safely got back on the ground thanks to her flying abilities. The she turned to look at Betts and Lexa, Betts was looking around very oddly and Lex was dodging the items that Wanda's power was throwing her way.
"Betts what are you doing?" Rogue called out to her, before she could answer Wanda gave a big scream and her elbows that were resting on the table were now on the floor. She seemed to huddling down on the ground and her yells got louder. Rogue walked towards her ignoring all the things that were crashing into her. She finally reached Wanda on the floor.
"Wanda what's wrong?" she asked again grabbing her shoulders, Wanda looked up at Rogue pain visible in her eyes.
"Rogue…I…can't…stop…it," she heard her say before a big blue blast once again threw her into the air. Rogue walked towards Betts.
/You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end/
"Betts what's wrong with her?"
Elisabeth didn't answer…she looked like she hadn't even heard the question her mouth opened and closed as if she was saying something but no words were coming out. Rogue looked at her confusingly but then turned to X-23, who looked just as confused and freak as she was. Everyone in the club had evacuated by now and the only ones left were them, the Acolytes, Warren, Pietro, Crystal, Lance, kitty and Jean who was holding an unconscious Scott.
"Rogue…we need to knock Wanda out…before she kills us all," X-23 called out why dodging a flying Knife. Wanda who had heard looked up at Rogue.
"Do it!" she commanded.
"But…" Rogue started.
"No buts Rogue you need to do it," Wanda yelled at her. Rogue once again made her way towards the Scarlet Witch this time blocking all the things that were flying towards her. When she reached Wanda her sapphire eyes looked into her emerald ones…as quickly as she could Rogue hit her slightly on the neck with enough force to knock her out. Wanda fell to the ground not hitting it hard since she was already on it and everything suddenly calmed down. Rogue went to pull Wanda up and was helped by a concern looking John.
/You kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when /
"What the bloody hell was that about?" he asked.
"Ah…dunno," she answered as he pulled the scarlet Witch into his arms bridal style, her body just dangled in his arms looking as if it had been broken. Rogue looked at it and then faced Psylocke who was sitting in the table looking like if nothing had happened.
"Betts what the hell are you doing just sitting around?" still no answer. Lexa who was standing next to John started coughing. After a couple of seconds of still looking at Betts Rogue heard Lexa speak to her.
"Rogue…I think something's wrong," she said in a worried voice. Rogue turned to look at X-23. Her hand was on her mouth since she was still coughing, when she pulled it back and showed her hand to Rogue, she found a bright scarlet puddle of blood.
/I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter/
Lexa was bleeding from her mouth, Rogue looked at her eyes wide. X-23 coughed again this time not putting her hand to her mouth…lots of blood poured out. Then Rogue noticed it…Lex was crying…not normal crying…her tears weren't normal clear color…they were a bright red.
"Lex sit down!" Rogue commanded and got an odd look from X-23.
"Why?" she asked confusedly but then felt liquid running down her nose and cheeks, she finally caught the scent of blood all over her face and her widened as she walked towards a chair and sat on it. Rogue walked to her and lifted her face up.
/I had to fall
And lose it all/
"Close your eyes and don't speak," she told her hoping that would stop the bleeding and she handed Lexa a napkin since she started bleeding from her nose as well.
"Betts a little help here!" Rogue once again started talking to the oldest who seemed oblivious to everything around her. Rogue went over to the purple haired Asian and touched her shoulder getting a very weird reaction from here. Betts looked around frantically looking for the source that had touched her.
/But in the end
It doesn't even matter/
'Betts?' Rogue asked curiously telepathically. Betts head snapped and looked at Rogue, yet her eyes seemed to look right through her as if she wasn't even there.
'Rogue…where are you?'
"What do yah mean where am ah…ah'm right in front of you Betts,'
'You sure?'
'yah'
'Then um…I think we have a problem luv'
/I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go/
'yah ah know…Wanda's unconscious and Lex's is having a bleeding problem and for some reason you haven't listen to me calling you'
'What?…oh never mind…Rogue…I can't see, and the reason I haven't listen to anything you say is because I can't hear you. I've been shouting out to you guys can't you hear me?'
'No…ah've seen yahr mouth open and close as if you are saying something but nothing comes out' Rogue answered, since she was paying attention to Betts she failed to see that Lexa dropped on the floor unconscious…she had lost to much blood. Before Betts could say anything else and as Rogue noticed Lexa on the floor and then White Queen ran into the club looking flushed and in a hurry.
/And for all this
There's only one thing you should know/
"I'm to late" she said looking at the unconscious Scarlet Witch and X-23 she then walked towards Rogue.
"Emma what are yah doing here? Nevamind… something's happen…"
"I know…but Rogue why are you ok?" Rogue looked confused at the question. Before Rogue could answer the White Queen looked behind her and hurried to stand in front of Rogue. "Never mind how your ok…Rogue you need to absorb me," Emma told her grabbing her hand…
"What? No" Rogue said pulling away.
"Rogue I don't have time to explain he's after me!"
"Who's after you?"
"Rogue trust me…you'll know everything…but you have to absorb me before it's to late." Rogue looked at Emma startled…the expression on White Queen's face was so serious; Rogue reluctantly put her hand out and grabbed Emma's absorbing her. After seconds Rogue let go and stood still in place…Emma's memories playing through her head.
/I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go/
Emma was woozy after Rogue let go…but she had let go just in time because as soon as she had a big pain appeared in her head. The White Queen put her hands on the side of her head and got down on her knees…he had found her.
She looked up at Elisabeth; 'Betts…put your shield up' she gave the message to the young telepath…then she fell to the ground and was surrounded by darkness.
Betsy did as she was told…she knew something was wrong…she could feel it. Emma wanting her to put her mental shield up was proof that something wasn't right…and then she felt it. A telepathic presence nearby…Mesmro.
/And for all this
There's only one thing you should know/
Rogue was still standing in place her eyes were a misty blue…everything about White Queen was running through her head…the unconscious Deathstrike…being surrounded by Morph and the others…seeing Gambit at the door…getting to the museum in time to see X-23 about to attack Wolverine…talking to Selene and Maragali…meeting the X-men for the first time…moving to Bayville…training the young Goths…joining Sinister…life as the leader of the inner circle.
Rogue couldn't take it anymore…she gave a small yell, as the memories passed by like a movie on rewind. Suddenly it all stopped and Rogue's eyes started to turn back to their beautiful emerald shade. She felt her whole body was numb, she couldn't move…not even to stop herself from falling backwards. She gave one last look at X-23, Scarlet Witch, Psylocke and White Queen…then her eyes shut and she never felt herself hit the ground.
/I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter I had to fall
And lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter/
