6969 Chapter 13 6969
/Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me/
She was surrounding by darkness…trapped in her own mind and not knowing of a way out. She was lost, confused, and in some kind of pain…she felt as if she would never be able to move and forever be ensnared in the eternal darkness that is her mind…but then she heard it.
'Chere?' It was distant…
/Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life/
"Chere…you got to get up…Rogue?" All of a sudden a bright light flashed blinding her then her eyes slowly opened to look up at two worried red orbs. Rogue quickly sat up bumping her forehead with Gambits.
"Ow Chere…you have a hard head," he commented putting his hand on his forehead, Rogue was ineffective by the blow and stared curiously around the unknown room.
"Where are we?" she asked her eyes half closed as she tried getting use to the light. He got up and stood still then bowed.
/Wake me up inside/
"Welcome to the X-Mansion…the home to your arch enemies." She didn't look amuse, she just stared at the brown furniture in the room and let everything that had happened sink in.
"Where are they?" she asked not mentioning any names.
Gambit looked at her knowing very well who she was talking about, "In de med lab." she slowly tried getting up and making sure she was keeping her balanced so she wouldn't fall, Remy reached out to help her but she refused his help and steadied herself.
"Take meh tah them," she commanded. He nodded and slowly walked out the door being followed by her.
"Are you feeling OK?" he asked, she couldn't see his face but the tone in his voice told her he was concerned.
"Ah've been better," she answered while staring at the back oh his head and wondering what they were doing there…after a couple of awkward silence her curiosity got the best of her and she asked him.
"We couldn't leave you guys unconscious in de club…after all wasn't it you who told Remy that he was a hero?" he asked as the walked down a hall and passes some of the new recruits who were staring at both outsiders.
/Wake me up inside/
She sighed, "How are they?"
"Je ne sais pas…no one 'as been told anything…de Beast wanted you to be de first to hear their condition," he answered and got on an elevator and waited for her to get on. They both stood in silence not sure what to talk about, finally Remy asked what he had been thinking since they had arrived.
"What was de whole club thing about?"
She looked up at him and into her eyes, deciding whether she should tell him.
"Sinister turned his back on us. He had spies on us today and they saw everything they shouldn't have."
"Bad day for confrontations non?" he asked trying to lighten the mood.
"Ah guess so," she answered.
"So…whatcha gonna do now?"
"Ah dunno."
/Call my name and save me from the dark/
"Does dis…leave any hope for us?" he asked quietly and turned to look at her, before Rogue could answer the elevator doors opened and they found themselves in the lower level of the mansion where the danger room, med lab, and lockers were. She looked at him and stepped out into the hallway and found Pietro talking to Mr. McCoy, as she and Remy got closer she heard what they were talking about.
"Come on…can't you just tell me if she's gonna be OK," the speed demon whined.
"If I tell you will you leave me alone?" Beast answered annoyed that Pietro had been bugging him for a long time.
"Yeah," Pietro answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Beast sighed, "Fine…X-23 has lost lots of blood but her healing factor should have her as good as new in no time…as for your sister…"
/Bid my blood to run Before I come undone/
"Ahem…" Both turned to look at Rogue and Gambit who were staring at them.
"Ms. Rogue good to see you up," Beast commented.
"Thahnk yah…where are they?" Beast walked down the hallway being followed by Rogue, Remy stayed with Pietro who watched them go.
"You gonna be Ok mon ami?"
"Yeah…she's gonna be fine," he answered. Remy shook his head understandably and then spoke again.
"Where's Johnny boy?"
Pietro turned to look at Gambit then turned to see Rogue and Beast turn a corner, "He's with her," was the simple answer.

Mr. McCoy stopped in a hallway with stairs leading father down to another hallway.
/Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life/
"You will find your teammates down there…I must get Scarlet Witch's test results but I will be with you in minutes," he told her and she walked down the stairs. As she was about to reach the bottom she stopped hearing voices and she quietly walked down the rest of the steps to see who it was. She found that it was Amara and Sunspot; they were out in the hallway looking through a window at something that seemed to have her upset. Not wanting to make her prescience known she kept quiet and listened to their conversation.
"You Ok Mara?"
For seconds she didn't answer but finally she gave a sigh and answered, "He hasn't moved from that spot since they've been here." he stayed quiet not knowing what to answer. Getting no answer from him got her to start rambling.
"I knew we were growing apart, and I ignored all the signs that our relationships was falling apart, I knew this would happen," she whispered. Roberto put his hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her.
"But it still hurts anyway…huh?"
"Yeah…it does."
"What are you gonna do now?"
"The thing I should have done a long time ago…I'm gonna let him go." Roberto pulled her into a hug and had a caring face as she rested her head into his chest. Rogue looked on a them, 'he likes her' she concluded to herself.
"Amara if you need anyone to talk to…you have Jubilee…but if she's not available and you need a shoulder to cry on…I will always be there for you," he whispered into her ear. Amara smiled into his chest feeling warm and fuzzy.
"Thanks Roberto," she answered looking up at him and giving him a kiss on the cheek making his small smile widen.
/Frozen inside without your touch without your love
darling Only you are the life among the dead/
Rogue heard footsteps and looked up expecting to see Beast but instead found Jubilee and Berserker walking down, they saw her and gave a small nod then stopped at the same spot Rogue was when the saw Amara in Roberto's arms. They stared at them and then looked at each other with, 'do you see what I see' looks. They smiled and looked back at them, and then Ray coughed getting their attentions. Amara and Roberto turned to look at their audience and pulled away from each other blushing.
"Oh hey guys," Amara answered. Rogue walked away from Jubilee and Berserker towards the window and looked threw to stare at what Magma and sunspot had seen. Scarlet Witch, Psylocke, White Queen and X-23 were laying in bed with their eyes closed. Pyro was sitting next to Wanda's and just staring down at her.
"Um the professor wants to see us…something about a meeting," Jubes told the Jr. X-men who nodded and walked towards her. Ray started walking towards the room but was stopped by Rogue.
"Ah'll tell him," she said knowing Berserker was going to tell Pyro about the meeting.
"Thanks," he answered and followed Jubes, Amara, and Roberto upstairs. Rogue watched them and then stared at John for a couple of seconds, she then entered the room. John looked up at the door; he got up as soon as he saw who it was.
"'ey"
"Hey…you guys are having a meeting upstairs," she told him. He nodded and walked to the door before closing it he gave one last look at scarlet witch.
Rogue looked at all of her teammates on the beds, they all looked like they were sleeping. She walked towards Lex's bed and looked at her, she looked a little pale but Beast had told Pietro she would be fine so she wasn't that worried. Then she walked towards Wanda's bed, she looked fine. As Rogue looked down at her peaceful face she remembered how she had looked before at the club, so pained and out of control. Rogue picked up her hand and gave it a small squeeze not expecting anything to happen but was wrong because as soon as she did that Wanda's hands started to glow blue and unexpectedly her eyes shot open. Rogue pulled back surprised.
Wanda looked at Rogue and very quickly sat up as soon as Mr. McCoy walked in the room.
"Ms. Maximoff please be careful you really shouldn't pull stunts like that in your condition. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the poison that was put in your drinks didn't have enough time to affect so everything is alright with you," he answered kindly. "Both of you are fine," he added.
"Well ah should be fihne since ah didn't drink anything on the table," Rogue answered and got a confused look from Beast who looked from one to Goth the other.
"Right…so Ms. Maximoff it seems you're about three weeks into it…so I'm really surprised nothing bad happen to it." It was Wanda and rogue turn to look confused.
"Three weeks into what?" Wanda asked.
"Oh my…um I'm guessing you don't know."
"Know what?" Rogue asked. Beast looked at Scarlet Witch hesitating to answer.
"Uh…Ms. Maximoff congratulations…you're pregnant."
"I'm/She's WHAT?" both cried out at the same time.
/All of this I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me/
6969 X-men 6969
All the mutants except beast where up in the rec room.
"So what exactly are we gonna do about this Charles?"
"We aren't sure if this was some kind of trap to show them where we live," Scott commented before Prof. X could answer.
"No they seem to have good information on us so I don't think that's what's going on," Jean spoke up.
"I believe that something has happened between them and Sinister…"
"Oui," Remy replied to theory and everyone turned to look at him. "I talked to Rogue earlier and it seems that Sinister believe dat dey betrayed him causing him to betray dem," he answered to all the confused looks he was getting.
"How do we know she wasn't lying?" Scott asked.
"Remy would know if she were lying," Gambit replied glaring at him.
"Whatever…he's been blinded," Scott, commented looking at Prof. X and Magneto who both looked deep in thought.
"Maybe we should think about the MoE later and start worrying about Sinister," Mystique sad dryly.
"But what if they are here to spy for him," Scott complained.
"Scott please…" Prof. X said shutting him up.
"How are we suppose to talk about Sinister if we don't even know what they're planning?" Magneto asked. All the young mutants stayed quiet while the adults went into deep thought.

Rogue and Wanda stared at each other shocked. Wanda was having a baby, which did explain while she was feeling sick, had different mood swings, and ate like a cow nowadays. Wanda laid back on her bed as gently as she could having a million thoughts running through her head.
"Um…how are the others?" Rogue asked changing the subject to leave Wanda in her own little world.
Beast gave Wanda a concern look but then answered the question, "Psylocke just needed some rest, X-23 has been healing but at a very low rate right now she keeps slipping in and out on consciousness, both will be fine. As for White Queen…she's in a coma."
"What?"
"She's in a coma…but not to worry it's very likely that she will be fine. Prof X took care of her since her attack was mentally."
"So the reason all this happened was because we were poisoned?"
"They were but we successfully made a cure before any damage was done." Rogue but her head in her hands and everything in the room got quiet.
"Well I must go but if you need anything you may reach me with this," he said and gave her a small device with an X on it. She nodded and watched him leave.
"How the hell did this happen?" Rogue asked.
"What? Me being pregnant or us being in the X-mansion?" Wanda asked snapping herself out of her thoughts.
"Both…but why weren't you more careful?" Rogue asked.
"Sorry if John and I don't keep condoms in our uniforms but usually when we wear them we're thinking 'we're gonna kick some ass' not 'we're gonna get some ass'," Wanda replied sarcastically.
Rogue let out a frustrated growl, "I can't believe Sinister…that asshole and Vertigo that bitch…she is going down next time I see her."
"Rogue…I'm pregnant," Wanda told her in the 'hello were you listening voice'. Rogue looked up at her, both just stared not knowing what to answer then they heard…
"Who's the daddy?" Both turned to look at X-23 who was slowly opening her eyes. Rogue walked over to Lexa's bed to look at her.
"How yah feelin?" she asked.
/I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems/
"Like if I've been run over by a car but other than that pretty Ok…funny though I thought I just heard Wanda say she was pregnant," Lexa said with a little chuckle.
"Uh…she is…or at least that's what we have just been told."
"What? How did this happen?" Lex asked getting up.
"Well I would think you know…the guy sticks…"
"Ok stop…I know HOW it happened…but who…oh my…PYRO?" she screamed while Rogue also looked at Wanda.
"Considering he's the last person I slept with…of course it's him…I didn't climb up on top of myself you know."
"You're gonna be a mommy…holy shit," Lexa commented while putting her head on the pillow, finally snapping herself out of shock she noticed where she was and realize it wasn't a familiar place. "Where are we?"
"X-mansion."
"What? What are we doing here?"
"What's the last thing you remember?"
/got to open my eyes to everything/
"Well…Wanda went psycho on us…Betts seemed to be in lala land, Pietro and other members of the opposite side were watching us…I started to have internal bleeding in my face…I've waken up a couple of times and just stared at the ceiling but then passed out again…and that's about it."
"Yeah…I just remembered me passing out and waking up to find out I HAVE A BABY GROWING IN MY STOMACH."
"Please do keep up the loud yelling…it might wake Emma up from her COMA!" Rogue yelled at the girls on the bed.
"COMA?" they asked confused.
"Can you guys shut up…I'm trying to SLEEP HERE!" Elisabeth asked waking up and then closing her eyes only to reopening them and sitting up very quickly giving herself a slight headache. "Hey your up?"
"Glad you noticed," Wanda answered dryly.
/Without a thought Without a voice Without a soul/
"Can some one explain what the hell is going on and what are we doing on enemy territory?" Lexa asked looking lost beyond belief. The other turned to look at Rogue who sighed and sat down where Pyro had minutes before.
"You were all poisoned and I would have been too if I hadn't been in the mood for a piña colada…"
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Excuse me?"
"Can you guys ask questions later and let me finish."
"Fine," all three answered.
"Thahnk yah…Sinister got suspicious that we haven't fought this week and so he sent spies on us, they saw us with the guys today causing Sinister to believe we were betraying him therefore finding us as a threat and wanting to kill us off. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for us…he send Vertigo to do the job and you guys know how careless she is so we all collapsed at the club. You three because of the poison Vertigo put in your drinks and meh cause of the overload I got by absorbing White Queen."
"YOU put her in a coma?" Lexa asked horrified.
"Ah…ah dunno," Rogue answered, she had also been pondering over that fact that she might have been the one to put their mentor in a coma.
"No…it wasn't Rogue. I was the last conscious and before I fell unconscious I felt a powerful mind lurking around…the one that did that to White Queen was Mesmro," Betts answered looking at her mentor with sad eyes.
"Hey where's Lady D?" Lexa asked looking around, Rogue looked at her sadly.
"Deathstrike…chose to stay with Sinister…she tried eliminating Emma when she tried to get to us and warn us."
/Don't let me die here There must be something more/
"Then that means we're alone…No Sinister…No Deathstrike…No White Queen," Wanda answered and looked at Rogue. They all become quiet letting it sink in...they had been betrayed once again and they were now alone…
"We aren't alone alone…we'll always have each other…right?" X-23 asked looking at all of them individually.
"That's right luv," Betts answered her.
"Can we do the mushy stuff later after we figure out what we're gonna do?" Wanda asked rolling her eyes.
"What is there to figure out…our team turned their backs on us?" Betts commented.
"And the fact Wanda's pregnant doesn't help us much," Lexa said.
"Wanda's WHAT?" Betts yelled.
"We'll talk about it later," Wanda said not really wanting to think that a human being was growing in her stomach. "I always knew Vertigo was a bitch," she said trying to change the subject.
"So…what now?" Lexa asked. They all sat in silence for a couple of minutes thinking of what they should do or what Emma would have them do. After a while Betts was the first to speak.
"Sinister…he doesn't know we're alive," Betts commented and then looked at Rogue, Rogue looked back knowing what she meant by it. The both just sat there having a private conversation while Lexa looked around and then examined herself to find her normal skin color was slowly coming back, Wanda on the other hand spaced out wondering what she should do…she was going to be a mother…and the father was someone she had planned to stay away from…not to mention he acted like a child as well.
"Life is such a bitch," she commented out loud to know one in particular but got a response from x-23.
/Bring me to life/
"True…but what can we do about it?" After Lex said that Rogue got up and walked outside the room and then walked back the way she had came.
"Where is she going?" Wanda asked Betts who didn't answer but she slowly got up and found her purse, she opened it and took four identical objects out.
6969 X-men 6969
"We don't have any idea what Sinister's plan is so we have to be on high alert, he could attack any min…" The door opening interrupted magneto's speech and all the mutants in the room turned to see who it was since every member of their teams were inside the room. They worked shocked to find Rogue was the one to open the door.
"Hey what are YOU doing here…this is a private meeting!" Scott yelled angrily at her and got in front of her so she wouldn't get through. Rogue looked at him with a perked eyebrow and then turned to Jean.
'Move him…or ah will and believe meh that won't be pretty' Jean using her telekinesis moved her boyfriend out of the Goth's way.
"Jean what are you…" before he could finish his sentence she put a hand over his mouth. Now that the path was cleared Rogue walked to forward and stopped in front of Prof. X desk were he was sitting at and were the other adults were around.
"Marie?" Mystique asked confused. Rogue turned from Xavier and glared at her, "It's ROGUE!' she snapped and turned to look at Prof. X again.
"Look here's the deal…yah helped us so we're gonna help yah. Of course don't think we'll do this only for yah cause we're not. Sinister turned his back on us and now we're going to turn our back on him."
"Are you offering your assistance in fighting Sinister?" Prof. X asked a little surprised.
"Obviously…but it's only cause Psylocke will keep bugging meh if ah don't…and we aren't going to pass off the first chance we get to get even with his royal pain in the ass (Sinister)."
"I appreciate your offer Rogue but I think we'll be able to handle it," he answered politely.
Rogue rolled her eyes in annoyance, "No yah won't…yah don't even know what he's planning!" she answered with a smug look on her face knowing she hit a hit the target right on the bulls eyes.
"Uh no we don't be we'll be able to handle it," he reassured her causing her to roll her eyes once again.
"Look if yahr team can hardly beat us I can assure yah that they ain't gonna survive what Sinister has in mind…at least with us…yah'll have a chance."
"What if we do agree to this…are you really going to be much help? Half of you're team is disabled." Before Rogue could counter they all heard a noise at the opened door.
'SNIKT'
"Disabled is such a strong word…may I suggest…were unavailable," X-23 commented walking into the room wearing her battling outfit and her skin was at her normal skin color too. She walked over next to Rogue and put something in front of her wanting her to grab it. It was her watch; Rogue took and put it on then pressed it twice causing her battling appearance to appear as well. Everyone in the room looked at X-23 shocked at her speedy recovery but their attentions soon went to another person.
"You didn't honestly believe that that was going to really do us much harm…did you?" Scarlet witch answered and walked to Rogue's other side.
"Yah should be in bed," Rogue lectured without looking at her talking about her new condition.
"I should but I'm not," she answered back. All three then turned their attention to the X-men instructors, magneto and Mystique.
"Do you still think they're disabled?" Rogue asked. Before Xavier could answer more guest arrived.
"Sorry I'm late but…someone decided to wake up," Betts said walking in and stopping in the doorway, seconds later White Queen looking pale stood besides her and leaned on the side of the door.
Everyone including the adults looked surprised to see all the members of the MoE up and ready to fight as if they're lives hadn't been endangered less than a couple hours ago.
"Please don't insult us by thinking we're weak enough not to rebound from something like this," Psylocke commented knowing what all of them were thinking and stood next to X-23. The adults looked at the four young girls who had determined looks upon their faces.
"So what will yah do?"
"Fight alone and die..." (Wanda)
"Or fight with us and at least have a chance to live.." (Lexa)
"By the way mates…this is a limited offer." (Betts)
"If yah don't choose in the next 2 minutes we'll get Sinister ALONE," Rogue commented.
"And then come back for you later," Lexa added glaring at Wolverine and as she said it Rogue also turned to glare at Mystique and Wanda glared at Magneto.
"I suggest you answer," Betts mentioned looking at her watch. All of the adults looked at each other for a brief second while Psylocke brought a finger up indicating they had one minute.
"We agree…but how do we know you won't turn your back on us?" Magneto answered as Betts brought her hand down, Rogue was going to answer but was stopped by White Queen.
"You'd be surprised how different we are from Sinister…we're evil but we know how to keep a deal or promise. But if you don't trust us go ahead and browse through one of our minds. Do any of you want to volunteer?" she asked.
"Pass," Rogue said immediately.
"I have something else on my mind at the moment…so I won't be much help," Wanda mumbled and looked down at the floor.
"Hmmm...have I done something naughty in the last couple of days?" X-23 asked herself.
Betts rolled her eyes, "I'll do it…after all wouldn't it be appropriate considering I'm a telepath as well," she said looking at Xavier.
"Alright then…can everyone please excuse us," Prof X told everyone so that they could leave. X-23 was the first to move and walked towards the door but stopped in the middle and looked at all the X-men, Acolytes, and Brotherhood members.
"I have dibs on vertigo…if ANY of you bring pain onto her…I will bring pain onto you," she told them and then walked towards Emma. "Come on Em…we need to get you on a bed since you look awful," she said getting a glare from her mentor. Ignoring it she helped her out to the hall and back the way they had come.
"Well what are yah waiting for? Shouldn't we go tah some kinda room were ah can tell yah what it is Sinister has in mind?" Rogue asked glaring at Magneto. He nodded and all the adults started walking toward the door with Rogue following Wanda began to follow when Rogue stopped her.
"Yah have other things to do," Rogue told her and gave Pyro a side glance. She then looked at Betts, "Contact Lex and tell her to look for me when she's done with Emma," Betts nodded at the request and gave the message to X-23 telepathically. Rogue then turned to look at Gambit, Avalanche, Cyclops and Jean, "Since yahr considered the leaders of yahr team ah suggest yah join us," she told them and walked off to follow magneto and the rest of the adults. Wanda watched her leave and glared at her until she was out of sight.
'You heard her' Betts told the younger girl.
'Fuck off…he doesn't have to know' she answered and started walking after Rogue after looking at John for a brief moment.
'He'll have to know sooner or later'
'Then let it be later…when I've let really sink in' and with that she walked out of the room.
"I think you should go after her," Betts told Pyro who reluctantly left. Amara watched him leave but made no sign of caring getting a confused look from Psylocke. Betts then turned to look at Prof X. "Shall we get started…a war doesn't plan itself you know." He nodded and soon everyone else left leaving the two telepaths alone.
6969 Danger Room 6969
The adults and team leaders were sitting around a round table, Wanda was sitting next to Rogue who was not happy she had come and on her other side was John who was making her feel very uncomfortable, but of course she's prefer to sit there than on the other seat that was open which was in between her dear brother and her father…now that wouldn't be happy family reunion...funeral yes…but Rogue had warned her not to do anything stupid. Before they could get to business X-23 walked into the room.
"Uh…am I interrupting?"
"No but sit," Rogue told her and nodded towards the empty seat left. Lexa looked at it and then the people she would be sitting next to.
"Do I have to?" she asked and received a glare from Rogue as a response. X-23 reluctantly walked towards the seat and magneto noticing her expression thought that she was feeling uncomfortable sitting next to him…so he made Pietro sit next to him…leaving X-23 to sit in between Quicksilver and…Wolverine.
Wanda stared at Lex feeling sorry for her but then again it was sort of funny how fate kept screwing them in the ass. After she thought that Rogue started to tell the X-men of the new recruits Sinister had gotten with his alliance and he plans to attack the X-men, the only reason she wasn't bored was because she didn't know half about what Rogue was talking about. During the half if she did know she though about what she was going to do…she was pregnant with Pyro's baby. She sighed after that thought and got John's attention.
"You ok luv?" he asked using 'luv' out of habit since that's what he would call her when she was Wendy.
"No…John I'm…"
"Ahem…" Rogues voice interrupted and Wanda looked up and glared at her but stopped when she noticed everyone was looking at her and John.
"Can I help you?" she asked annoyed allowing Rogue to start talking afterwards.
"I'll tell you later," Wanda whispered and got a worried nod from the pyromaniac. On the other side of the round table other people were whispering.
"We need to talk," Pietro muttered in a low whisper but knew she had heard.
"I think we said everything we had to say," Lexa whispered back.
"No we didn't…or did you forget we were interrupted?"
"Oh that's right…we did get interrupted…by YOUR girlfriend."
"Lex..."he said her name softly making her look at him. She looked into his sapphire eyes, which held an emotion she couldn't name.
"Fine…but shut up so I can listen to Rogue," she answered and looked at Rogue who was getting to the part not even she knew.
"Sinister plans to attack here in about a week if seems he looking for some powerful object so that he can unleash a powerful mutant who's trapped underground her under Xavier's institute. IF he succeeds in opening the gateway the portal that unleashed the being will be kept opened for an approximately 15 minutes…in that time we either trap her in again making the gateway close, if it closes with her outside she's here to stay. Yet From white queens memories it seems that there is another way to close the gateway locking her inside…"
"A human sacrifice…" everyone turned to look at Prof X who rolled in with Psylocke walking close behind.
"Yeah…how did yah know?"
"Because I'm the one who trapped her in the hell dimension in the first place."
"So does this mean they're telling the truth?" Scott asked.
"Yes…Sinister wants to do something that could end the world…he wants to free…Cassandra Nova."

6969 Chapter 13 6969
/Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me/
She was surrounding by darkness…trapped in her own mind and not knowing of a way out. She was lost, confused, and in some kind of pain…she felt as if she would never be able to move and forever be ensnared in the eternal darkness that is her mind…but then she heard it.
'Chere?' It was distant…
/Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life/
"Chere…you got to get up…Rogue?" All of a sudden a bright light flashed blinding her then her eyes slowly opened to look up at two worried red orbs. Rogue quickly sat up bumping her forehead with Gambits.
"Ow Chere…you have a hard head," he commented putting his hand on his forehead, Rogue was ineffective by the blow and stared curiously around the unknown room.
"Where are we?" she asked her eyes half closed as she tried getting use to the light. He got up and stood still then bowed.
/Wake me up inside/
"Welcome to the X-Mansion…the home to your arch enemies." She didn't look amuse, she just stared at the brown furniture in the room and let everything that had happened sink in.
"Where are they?" she asked not mentioning any names.
Gambit looked at her knowing very well who she was talking about, "In de med lab." she slowly tried getting up and making sure she was keeping her balanced so she wouldn't fall, Remy reached out to help her but she refused his help and steadied herself.
"Take meh tah them," she commanded. He nodded and slowly walked out the door being followed by her.
"Are you feeling OK?" he asked, she couldn't see his face but the tone in his voice told her he was concerned.
"Ah've been better," she answered while staring at the back oh his head and wondering what they were doing there…after a couple of awkward silence her curiosity got the best of her and she asked him.
"We couldn't leave you guys unconscious in de club…after all wasn't it you who told Remy that he was a hero?" he asked as the walked down a hall and passes some of the new recruits who were staring at both outsiders.
/Wake me up inside/
She sighed, "How are they?"
"Je ne sais pas…no one 'as been told anything…de Beast wanted you to be de first to hear their condition," he answered and got on an elevator and waited for her to get on. They both stood in silence not sure what to talk about, finally Remy asked what he had been thinking since they had arrived.
"What was de whole club thing about?"
She looked up at him and into her eyes, deciding whether she should tell him.
"Sinister turned his back on us. He had spies on us today and they saw everything they shouldn't have."
"Bad day for confrontations non?" he asked trying to lighten the mood.
"Ah guess so," she answered.
"So…whatcha gonna do now?"
"Ah dunno."
/Call my name and save me from the dark/
"Does dis…leave any hope for us?" he asked quietly and turned to look at her, before Rogue could answer the elevator doors opened and they found themselves in the lower level of the mansion where the danger room, med lab, and lockers were. She looked at him and stepped out into the hallway and found Pietro talking to Mr. McCoy, as she and Remy got closer she heard what they were talking about.
"Come on…can't you just tell me if she's gonna be OK," the speed demon whined.
"If I tell you will you leave me alone?" Beast answered annoyed that Pietro had been bugging him for a long time.
"Yeah," Pietro answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Beast sighed, "Fine…X-23 has lost lots of blood but her healing factor should have her as good as new in no time…as for your sister…"
/Bid my blood to run Before I come undone/
"Ahem…" Both turned to look at Rogue and Gambit who were staring at them.
"Ms. Rogue good to see you up," Beast commented.
"Thahnk yah…where are they?" Beast walked down the hallway being followed by Rogue, Remy stayed with Pietro who watched them go.
"You gonna be Ok mon ami?"
"Yeah…she's gonna be fine," he answered. Remy shook his head understandably and then spoke again.
"Where's Johnny boy?"
Pietro turned to look at Gambit then turned to see Rogue and Beast turn a corner, "He's with her," was the simple answer.
6969 MoE 6969
Mr. McCoy stopped in a hallway with stairs leading father down to another hallway.
/Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life/
"You will find your teammates down there…I must get Scarlet Witch's test results but I will be with you in minutes," he told her and she walked down the stairs. As she was about to reach the bottom she stopped hearing voices and she quietly walked down the rest of the steps to see who it was. She found that it was Amara and Sunspot; they were out in the hallway looking through a window at something that seemed to have her upset. Not wanting to make her prescience known she kept quiet and listened to their conversation.
"You Ok Mara?"
For seconds she didn't answer but finally she gave a sigh and answered, "He hasn't moved from that spot since they've been here." he stayed quiet not knowing what to answer. Getting no answer from him got her to start rambling.
"I knew we were growing apart, and I ignored all the signs that our relationships was falling apart, I knew this would happen," she whispered. Roberto put his hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her.
"But it still hurts anyway…huh?"
"Yeah…it does."
"What are you gonna do now?"
"The thing I should have done a long time ago…I'm gonna let him go." Roberto pulled her into a hug and had a caring face as she rested her head into his chest. Rogue looked on a them, 'he likes her' she concluded to herself.
"Amara if you need anyone to talk to…you have Jubilee…but if she's not available and you need a shoulder to cry on…I will always be there for you," he whispered into her ear. Amara smiled into his chest feeling warm and fuzzy.
"Thanks Roberto," she answered looking up at him and giving him a kiss on the cheek making his small smile widen.
/Frozen inside without your touch without your love
darling Only you are the life among the dead/
Rogue heard footsteps and looked up expecting to see Beast but instead found Jubilee and Berserker walking down, they saw her and gave a small nod then stopped at the same spot Rogue was when the saw Amara in Roberto's arms. They stared at them and then looked at each other with, 'do you see what I see' looks. They smiled and looked back at them, and then Ray coughed getting their attentions. Amara and Roberto turned to look at their audience and pulled away from each other blushing.
"Oh hey guys," Amara answered. Rogue walked away from Jubilee and Berserker towards the window and looked threw to stare at what Magma and sunspot had seen. Scarlet Witch, Psylocke, White Queen and X-23 were laying in bed with their eyes closed. Pyro was sitting next to Wanda's and just staring down at her.
"Um the professor wants to see us…something about a meeting," Jubes told the Jr. X-men who nodded and walked towards her. Ray started walking towards the room but was stopped by Rogue.
"Ah'll tell him," she said knowing Berserker was going to tell Pyro about the meeting.
"Thanks," he answered and followed Jubes, Amara, and Roberto upstairs. Rogue watched them and then stared at John for a couple of seconds, she then entered the room. John looked up at the door; he got up as soon as he saw who it was.
"'ey"
"Hey…you guys are having a meeting upstairs," she told him. He nodded and walked to the door before closing it he gave one last look at scarlet witch.
Rogue looked at all of her teammates on the beds, they all looked like they were sleeping. She walked towards Lex's bed and looked at her, she looked a little pale but Beast had told Pietro she would be fine so she wasn't that worried. Then she walked towards Wanda's bed, she looked fine. As Rogue looked down at her peaceful face she remembered how she had looked before at the club, so pained and out of control. Rogue picked up her hand and gave it a small squeeze not expecting anything to happen but was wrong because as soon as she did that Wanda's hands started to glow blue and unexpectedly her eyes shot open. Rogue pulled back surprised.
Wanda looked at Rogue and very quickly sat up as soon as Mr. McCoy walked in the room.
"Ms. Maximoff please be careful you really shouldn't pull stunts like that in your condition. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the poison that was put in your drinks didn't have enough time to affect so everything is alright with you," he answered kindly. "Both of you are fine," he added.
"Well ah should be fihne since ah didn't drink anything on the table," Rogue answered and got a confused look from Beast who looked from one to Goth the other.
"Right…so Ms. Maximoff it seems you're about three weeks into it…so I'm really surprised nothing bad happen to it." It was Wanda and rogue turn to look confused.
"Three weeks into what?" Wanda asked.
"Oh my…um I'm guessing you don't know."
"Know what?" Rogue asked. Beast looked at Scarlet Witch hesitating to answer.
"Uh…Ms. Maximoff congratulations…you're pregnant."
"I'm/She's WHAT?" both cried out at the same time.
/All of this I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me/
6969 X-men 6969
All the mutants except beast where up in the rec room.
"So what exactly are we gonna do about this Charles?"
"We aren't sure if this was some kind of trap to show them where we live," Scott commented before Prof. X could answer.
"No they seem to have good information on us so I don't think that's what's going on," Jean spoke up.
"I believe that something has happened between them and Sinister…"
"Oui," Remy replied to theory and everyone turned to look at him. "I talked to Rogue earlier and it seems that Sinister believe dat dey betrayed him causing him to betray dem," he answered to all the confused looks he was getting.
"How do we know she wasn't lying?" Scott asked.
"Remy would know if she were lying," Gambit replied glaring at him.
"Whatever…he's been blinded," Scott, commented looking at Prof. X and Magneto who both looked deep in thought.
"Maybe we should think about the MoE later and start worrying about Sinister," Mystique sad dryly.
"But what if they are here to spy for him," Scott complained.
"Scott please…" Prof. X said shutting him up.
"How are we suppose to talk about Sinister if we don't even know what they're planning?" Magneto asked. All the young mutants stayed quiet while the adults went into deep thought.
6969 MoE 6969
Rogue and Wanda stared at each other shocked. Wanda was having a baby, which did explain while she was feeling sick, had different mood swings, and ate like a cow nowadays. Wanda laid back on her bed as gently as she could having a million thoughts running through her head.
"Um…how are the others?" Rogue asked changing the subject to leave Wanda in her own little world.
Beast gave Wanda a concern look but then answered the question, "Psylocke just needed some rest, X-23 has been healing but at a very low rate right now she keeps slipping in and out on consciousness, both will be fine. As for White Queen…she's in a coma."
"What?"
"She's in a coma…but not to worry it's very likely that she will be fine. Prof X took care of her since her attack was mentally."
"So the reason all this happened was because we were poisoned?"
"They were but we successfully made a cure before any damage was done." Rogue but her head in her hands and everything in the room got quiet.
"Well I must go but if you need anything you may reach me with this," he said and gave her a small device with an X on it. She nodded and watched him leave.
"How the hell did this happen?" Rogue asked.
"What? Me being pregnant or us being in the X-mansion?" Wanda asked snapping herself out of her thoughts.
"Both…but why weren't you more careful?" Rogue asked.
"Sorry if John and I don't keep condoms in our uniforms but usually when we wear them we're thinking 'we're gonna kick some ass' not 'we're gonna get some ass'," Wanda replied sarcastically.
Rogue let out a frustrated growl, "I can't believe Sinister…that asshole and Vertigo that bitch…she is going down next time I see her."
"Rogue…I'm pregnant," Wanda told her in the 'hello were you listening voice'. Rogue looked up at her, both just stared not knowing what to answer then they heard…
"Who's the daddy?" Both turned to look at X-23 who was slowly opening her eyes. Rogue walked over to Lexa's bed to look at her.
"How yah feelin?" she asked.
/I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems/
"Like if I've been run over by a car but other than that pretty Ok…funny though I thought I just heard Wanda say she was pregnant," Lexa said with a little chuckle.
"Uh…she is…or at least that's what we have just been told."
"What? How did this happen?" Lex asked getting up.
"Well I would think you know…the guy sticks…"
"Ok stop…I know HOW it happened…but who…oh my…PYRO?" she screamed while Rogue also looked at Wanda.
"Considering he's the last person I slept with…of course it's him…I didn't climb up on top of myself you know."
"You're gonna be a mommy…holy shit," Lexa commented while putting her head on the pillow, finally snapping herself out of shock she noticed where she was and realize it wasn't a familiar place. "Where are we?"
"X-mansion."
"What? What are we doing here?"
"What's the last thing you remember?"
/got to open my eyes to everything/
"Well…Wanda went psycho on us…Betts seemed to be in lala land, Pietro and other members of the opposite side were watching us…I started to have internal bleeding in my face…I've waken up a couple of times and just stared at the ceiling but then passed out again…and that's about it."
"Yeah…I just remembered me passing out and waking up to find out I HAVE A BABY GROWING IN MY STOMACH."
"Please do keep up the loud yelling…it might wake Emma up from her COMA!" Rogue yelled at the girls on the bed.
"COMA?" they asked confused.
"Can you guys shut up…I'm trying to SLEEP HERE!" Elisabeth asked waking up and then closing her eyes only to reopening them and sitting up very quickly giving herself a slight headache. "Hey your up?"
"Glad you noticed," Wanda answered dryly.
/Without a thought Without a voice Without a soul/
"Can some one explain what the hell is going on and what are we doing on enemy territory?" Lexa asked looking lost beyond belief. The other turned to look at Rogue who sighed and sat down where Pyro had minutes before.
"You were all poisoned and I would have been too if I hadn't been in the mood for a piña colada…"
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Excuse me?"
"Can you guys ask questions later and let me finish."
"Fine," all three answered.
"Thahnk yah…Sinister got suspicious that we haven't fought this week and so he sent spies on us, they saw us with the guys today causing Sinister to believe we were betraying him therefore finding us as a threat and wanting to kill us off. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for us…he send Vertigo to do the job and you guys know how careless she is so we all collapsed at the club. You three because of the poison Vertigo put in your drinks and meh cause of the overload I got by absorbing White Queen."
"YOU put her in a coma?" Lexa asked horrified.
"Ah…ah dunno," Rogue answered, she had also been pondering over that fact that she might have been the one to put their mentor in a coma.
"No…it wasn't Rogue. I was the last conscious and before I fell unconscious I felt a powerful mind lurking around…the one that did that to White Queen was Mesmro," Betts answered looking at her mentor with sad eyes.
"Hey where's Lady D?" Lexa asked looking around, Rogue looked at her sadly.
"Deathstrike…chose to stay with Sinister…she tried eliminating Emma when she tried to get to us and warn us."
/Don't let me die here There must be something more/
"Then that means we're alone…No Sinister…No Deathstrike…No White Queen," Wanda answered and looked at Rogue. They all become quiet letting it sink in...they had been betrayed once again and they were now alone…
"We aren't alone alone…we'll always have each other…right?" X-23 asked looking at all of them individually.
"That's right luv," Betts answered her.
"Can we do the mushy stuff later after we figure out what we're gonna do?" Wanda asked rolling her eyes.
"What is there to figure out…our team turned their backs on us?" Betts commented.
"And the fact Wanda's pregnant doesn't help us much," Lexa said.
"Wanda's WHAT?" Betts yelled.
"We'll talk about it later," Wanda said not really wanting to think that a human being was growing in her stomach. "I always knew Vertigo was a bitch," she said trying to change the subject.
"So…what now?" Lexa asked. They all sat in silence for a couple of minutes thinking of what they should do or what Emma would have them do. After a while Betts was the first to speak.
"Sinister…he doesn't know we're alive," Betts commented and then looked at Rogue, Rogue looked back knowing what she meant by it. The both just sat there having a private conversation while Lexa looked around and then examined herself to find her normal skin color was slowly coming back, Wanda on the other hand spaced out wondering what she should do…she was going to be a mother…and the father was someone she had planned to stay away from…not to mention he acted like a child as well.
"Life is such a bitch," she commented out loud to know one in particular but got a response from x-23.
/Bring me to life/
"True…but what can we do about it?" After Lex said that Rogue got up and walked outside the room and then walked back the way she had came.
"Where is she going?" Wanda asked Betts who didn't answer but she slowly got up and found her purse, she opened it and took four identical objects out.
6969 X-men 6969
"We don't have any idea what Sinister's plan is so we have to be on high alert, he could attack any min…" The door opening interrupted magneto's speech and all the mutants in the room turned to see who it was since every member of their teams were inside the room. They worked shocked to find Rogue was the one to open the door.
"Hey what are YOU doing here…this is a private meeting!" Scott yelled angrily at her and got in front of her so she wouldn't get through. Rogue looked at him with a perked eyebrow and then turned to Jean.
'Move him…or ah will and believe meh that won't be pretty' Jean using her telekinesis moved her boyfriend out of the Goth's way.
"Jean what are you…" before he could finish his sentence she put a hand over his mouth. Now that the path was cleared Rogue walked to forward and stopped in front of Prof. X desk were he was sitting at and were the other adults were around.
"Marie?" Mystique asked confused. Rogue turned from Xavier and glared at her, "It's ROGUE!' she snapped and turned to look at Prof. X again.
"Look here's the deal…yah helped us so we're gonna help yah. Of course don't think we'll do this only for yah cause we're not. Sinister turned his back on us and now we're going to turn our back on him."
"Are you offering your assistance in fighting Sinister?" Prof. X asked a little surprised.
"Obviously…but it's only cause Psylocke will keep bugging meh if ah don't…and we aren't going to pass off the first chance we get to get even with his royal pain in the ass (Sinister)."
"I appreciate your offer Rogue but I think we'll be able to handle it," he answered politely.
Rogue rolled her eyes in annoyance, "No yah won't…yah don't even know what he's planning!" she answered with a smug look on her face knowing she hit a hit the target right on the bulls eyes.
"Uh no we don't be we'll be able to handle it," he reassured her causing her to roll her eyes once again.
"Look if yahr team can hardly beat us I can assure yah that they ain't gonna survive what Sinister has in mind…at least with us…yah'll have a chance."
"What if we do agree to this…are you really going to be much help? Half of you're team is disabled." Before Rogue could counter they all heard a noise at the opened door.
'SNIKT'
"Disabled is such a strong word…may I suggest…were unavailable," X-23 commented walking into the room wearing her battling outfit and her skin was at her normal skin color too. She walked over next to Rogue and put something in front of her wanting her to grab it. It was her watch; Rogue took and put it on then pressed it twice causing her battling appearance to appear as well. Everyone in the room looked at X-23 shocked at her speedy recovery but their attentions soon went to another person.
"You didn't honestly believe that that was going to really do us much harm…did you?" Scarlet witch answered and walked to Rogue's other side.
"Yah should be in bed," Rogue lectured without looking at her talking about her new condition.
"I should but I'm not," she answered back. All three then turned their attention to the X-men instructors, magneto and Mystique.
"Do you still think they're disabled?" Rogue asked. Before Xavier could answer more guest arrived.
"Sorry I'm late but…someone decided to wake up," Betts said walking in and stopping in the doorway, seconds later White Queen looking pale stood besides her and leaned on the side of the door.
Everyone including the adults looked surprised to see all the members of the MoE up and ready to fight as if they're lives hadn't been endangered less than a couple hours ago.
"Please don't insult us by thinking we're weak enough not to rebound from something like this," Psylocke commented knowing what all of them were thinking and stood next to X-23. The adults looked at the four young girls who had determined looks upon their faces.
"So what will yah do?"
"Fight alone and die..." (Wanda)
"Or fight with us and at least have a chance to live.." (Lexa)
"By the way mates…this is a limited offer." (Betts)
"If yah don't choose in the next 2 minutes we'll get Sinister ALONE," Rogue commented.
"And then come back for you later," Lexa added glaring at Wolverine and as she said it Rogue also turned to glare at Mystique and Wanda glared at Magneto.
"I suggest you answer," Betts mentioned looking at her watch. All of the adults looked at each other for a brief second while Psylocke brought a finger up indicating they had one minute.
"We agree…but how do we know you won't turn your back on us?" Magneto answered as Betts brought her hand down, Rogue was going to answer but was stopped by White Queen.
"You'd be surprised how different we are from Sinister…we're evil but we know how to keep a deal or promise. But if you don't trust us go ahead and browse through one of our minds. Do any of you want to volunteer?" she asked.
"Pass," Rogue said immediately.
"I have something else on my mind at the moment…so I won't be much help," Wanda mumbled and looked down at the floor.
"Hmmm...have I done something naughty in the last couple of days?" X-23 asked herself.
Betts rolled her eyes, "I'll do it…after all wouldn't it be appropriate considering I'm a telepath as well," she said looking at Xavier.
"Alright then…can everyone please excuse us," Prof X told everyone so that they could leave. X-23 was the first to move and walked towards the door but stopped in the middle and looked at all the X-men, Acolytes, and Brotherhood members.
"I have dibs on vertigo…if ANY of you bring pain onto her…I will bring pain onto you," she told them and then walked towards Emma. "Come on Em…we need to get you on a bed since you look awful," she said getting a glare from her mentor. Ignoring it she helped her out to the hall and back the way they had come.
"Well what are yah waiting for? Shouldn't we go tah some kinda room were ah can tell yah what it is Sinister has in mind?" Rogue asked glaring at Magneto. He nodded and all the adults started walking toward the door with Rogue following Wanda began to follow when Rogue stopped her.
"Yah have other things to do," Rogue told her and gave Pyro a side glance. She then looked at Betts, "Contact Lex and tell her to look for me when she's done with Emma," Betts nodded at the request and gave the message to X-23 telepathically. Rogue then turned to look at Gambit, Avalanche, Cyclops and Jean, "Since yahr considered the leaders of yahr team ah suggest yah join us," she told them and walked off to follow magneto and the rest of the adults. Wanda watched her leave and glared at her until she was out of sight.
'You heard her' Betts told the younger girl.
'Fuck off…he doesn't have to know' she answered and started walking after Rogue after looking at John for a brief moment.
'He'll have to know sooner or later'
'Then let it be later…when I've let really sink in' and with that she walked out of the room.
"I think you should go after her," Betts told Pyro who reluctantly left. Amara watched him leave but made no sign of caring getting a confused look from Psylocke. Betts then turned to look at Prof X. "Shall we get started…a war doesn't plan itself you know." He nodded and soon everyone else left leaving the two telepaths alone.
6969 Danger Room 6969
The adults and team leaders were sitting around a round table, Wanda was sitting next to Rogue who was not happy she had come and on her other side was John who was making her feel very uncomfortable, but of course she's prefer to sit there than on the other seat that was open which was in between her dear brother and her father…now that wouldn't be happy family reunion...funeral yes…but Rogue had warned her not to do anything stupid. Before they could get to business X-23 walked into the room.
"Uh…am I interrupting?"
"No but sit," Rogue told her and nodded towards the empty seat left. Lexa looked at it and then the people she would be sitting next to.
"Do I have to?" she asked and received a glare from Rogue as a response. X-23 reluctantly walked towards the seat and magneto noticing her expression thought that she was feeling uncomfortable sitting next to him…so he made Pietro sit next to him…leaving X-23 to sit in between Quicksilver and…Wolverine.
Wanda stared at Lex feeling sorry for her but then again it was sort of funny how fate kept screwing them in the ass. After she thought that Rogue started to tell the X-men of the new recruits Sinister had gotten with his alliance and he plans to attack the X-men, the only reason she wasn't bored was because she didn't know half about what Rogue was talking about. During the half if she did know she though about what she was going to do…she was pregnant with Pyro's baby. She sighed after that thought and got John's attention.
"You ok luv?" he asked using 'luv' out of habit since that's what he would call her when she was Wendy.
"No…John I'm…"
"Ahem…" Rogues voice interrupted and Wanda looked up and glared at her but stopped when she noticed everyone was looking at her and John.
"Can I help you?" she asked annoyed allowing Rogue to start talking afterwards.
"I'll tell you later," Wanda whispered and got a worried nod from the pyromaniac. On the other side of the round table other people were whispering.
"We need to talk," Pietro muttered in a low whisper but knew she had heard.
"I think we said everything we had to say," Lexa whispered back.
"No we didn't…or did you forget we were interrupted?"
"Oh that's right…we did get interrupted…by YOUR girlfriend."
"Lex..."he said her name softly making her look at him. She looked into his sapphire eyes, which held an emotion she couldn't name.
"Fine…but shut up so I can listen to Rogue," she answered and looked at Rogue who was getting to the part not even she knew.
"Sinister plans to attack here in about a week if seems he looking for some powerful object so that he can unleash a powerful mutant who's trapped underground her under Xavier's institute. IF he succeeds in opening the gateway the portal that unleashed the being will be kept opened for an approximately 15 minutes…in that time we either trap her in again making the gateway close, if it closes with her outside she's here to stay. Yet From white queens memories it seems that there is another way to close the gateway locking her inside…"
"A human sacrifice…" everyone turned to look at Prof X who rolled in with Psylocke walking close behind.
"Yeah…how did yah know?"
"Because I'm the one who trapped her in the hell dimension in the first place."
"So does this mean they're telling the truth?" Scott asked.
"Yes…Sinister wants to do something that could end the world…he wants to free…Cassandra Nova."
