Storm sat up strait as a board her eyes wide and alert. "Rogue, Rogue wake up," Rogue slowly propped her body up with her hands.

"What is it?" asked Rogue in from the corner of her cell. Her voice so broken and abused that it made Ororo outwardly wince. She was so worried about Rogue that it was making her sick. Rogue has been taken in and out of her cell almost every other day since the got here, while she has only been taken out at the most once every eight days and from what Rogue has informed her it's usually only an hour at a time.

"There coming"

Slowly Rogue eased herself into a sitting position. "Are ya sure?" her own question was answered when the two door leading into the hall burst open. But to her and everyone else's surprise it wasn't the black dressed guards that would come to take her into the lab to do God knows what. It was a herd, a herd of men and women all of whom seemed to be mutants. "The Workers"! Rogue thought with a mixture of surprise, excitement, and relief. They some how got out and are now helping the rest of us escape. She sat their in the middle of her cell watching the commotion around her. People who were extraordinarily strong were ripping off cell doors and rushing over to take off the prisoners collars. Once the collars were off both their legs and there powers seemed to come back to life. She was snapped into attention as her cell door was pulled off its hinges buy a big, ugly, greasy old man who ran to her and immediately started to fiddle with the collar around her neck. Rogue studied him as he worked; he looked around sixty with a big body and an extra small head that only had a few gray hairs on the top. After hearing the opening click he let go of Rogue's neck and run out to help someone else.

"Rogue quick lets find Logan and get out of here!" Ororo called running though the maze of cells with Jay at her heals. Despite her poor condition Rogue jumped to her feet and sprinted up to Storm. Soon after five long minutes of calling out Wolverine's name they found him carrying the same frail girl that occupied the cell next to Rogue's. Before they could even say a word he hurriedly told us that the x-men were here and to follow him.

Jay looked at Rogue funny before asking, "What's an X-men?"

"Ah'll explain later. Right now we just have to get outside." She said quickly than grabbed his sleeve and pulled him towards the door after Logan and Storm. They ran as swiftly as they could through the halls of the building that has held them prison for little over a month and a half. A million thoughts ran through Rogues head so fast she had trouble concentrating on just one. Where were the x-men? How did they find them? Why did it take so long? Shaking her head free of her thoughts she let out a sigh of relief as they turned their last corner and headed towards the open door that lead them out side. Rogue's last few strides where cut short when three armed men came running through the door aiming at them. Rouge looked at Storm as she let out a cry of frustration and shot bolts of blue electricity into each of their stomachs. She recoiled back a few steps when she felt the scolding heat of the electricity. Just as all three of the armed men fell over they heard an all too familiar bamf sound come from behind. Rogue spun around so fast that she felt dizzy and when she was looking face to face with her brother she let out a deep sob and threw her arms around him. She had never been so glade to see anyone in her life.

"It'll be all vight," Kurt said in a tight voice.

Logan was growling impatiently behind them, "Times wasting, let's go!"

Rogue held on tighter as Kurt told the others to grab hold and teleported all four and himself to the yard out side.

Once they all let go of Kurt he immediately gave them directions on what to do. "Storm I vant you to take Vogue and dis guy back to the x-jet." He said motioning to Jay who looked pretty sick from the teleporting. "It should ve vight out side sa small forest. Logan I need you to come back into ze lab to help me vith za others." Without another word Kurt took hold of Logan's arm and bamfed back inside. Before Rogue knew it there were bullets flying strait at them. They seemed to be moving in slow motion as the bullets made their way towards their faces. She was paralyzed with panic, "I can't die! Not when I just got out, I can't!" her mind screamed. At this thought everything around her seemed to stop dead. Rogue then went into a deep trance, and her eyes turning a dark violet. Lifting her arms to the sky she began to float into the air, when she was about five feet into the air Rogue lifted her head slowly. Then it was as if a bomb was set off right under her feet as her arms snapped down to her sides causing a wave of power to shot out from all sides. The wave hit everyone around her sending them flying twenty feet back.

Snapping out of her trance Rogue fell do the ground with a small thud. Her hitting the ground seemed to bring everything back to the right speed and everyone seemed to just get up and stare at her. This went on to Rogue seemed like hours before one of the soldiers yelled out, "Get her!" Rogue didn't wait to see who said it before shade scrambled to her feet and ran into the forest. She ran she ran like she never ran before. The weren't far behind and she knew it, when she heard the rustle of the bushes next to her she sped up to alarming speed before she went flying into the air when she tripping over an unseen log. Rogue suddenly felt a strong since of Déjà vu as she covered her face with her hands prepairing for the unforgiving ground. But she didn't hit the ground, she fell into soft well towned arms and when she lifted her head to see her rescure her gaze found a pair of red on black eyes the held a mixture of surprise and concern, "Just like in my dreams." Rouge mumbled softly before drifting into darkness.

An: WOW it feels so good to update *sigh* I wish I did it more often. Anyway I hope you like my new chapter I really liked writing it. I know that it's a bit confusing but the next few chapters should explain it. And yes it will even explain why there is a forest in the middle of the desert.
