Before any of them could attack or say pretty much anything Warren grabbed Rogue and took off into the air. Rogue's green eyes widened. "Are ya crazy?"
"Just a little bit." He said landing casually on the ground in front of the Institute where Rogue saw Xavier and Mr. McCoy awaiting their arrival. "Thank you Mr. Worthington." Mr. McCoy said.
"Are you all right Rogue?" Professor Xavier asked her as she nodded.
"Yea ah'm fahne." She groaned.
"What's wrong?" angel asked her.
"Mah new bahke was at the park."
"We'll get it later." He said as the four of them went inside.
************************
"This ain` over hommes." Remy warned.
Lance smirks. "For now it is. Tell Magneto to stay away from us and from Rogue."
"Yea we find out you've been near her…" Todd started.
"We'll crush ya." Fred said cracking his knuckles as she three remaining Brotherhood members went to their car.
"Um.. What about her bike yo?" Todd asked.
Lance sighed. "Can't leave it here." He glanced at Fred who nodded and picked up the bike and put it in the backseat pretty much on top of Todd.
"Hey watch the Toad."
"Sorry little buddy."
Lance started up the engine and took off to the Xavier Institute. "What if the others stop us?" Fred asked.
"They're not home." Lance said.
************************
"Now what?" John asked quite annoyed that the Angel-boy had messed up their plans once again.
"Magneto wont be pleased if we return without her." Piotr said.
"I know okay." Pietro said annoyed. "Let me think."
"Why not just take her while she's sleeping?" Wanda asked. "You could get past the security pretty easy." She told her brother.
Pietro's mouth formed a small smile. "Great idea Wanda."
************************
"We were just talkin` an` they showed up." Rogue said sighing. "They said something` bout Magneto wantin` me ah think. But why me?"
"Perhaps Magneto was planning on putting his old original team together once again." Mr. McCoy suggested passing out the hot cocoa.
"Then why were they fighting the other three?" Warren asked confused.
"That is still a mystery." Xavier said in deep though. 'Eric what are you planning.'
Rogue heard a motor outside and went to the window. "What are they doin` here?" She asked going outside and Warren followed her.
"Hey Rogue what's up?" Todd asked able to breathe when Freddy lifted the bike off of him.
"Thought you might want it back." Lance said smiling at her.
"Thanks." Rogue said smiling.
"Won't you come in for a little bit so we may chat." Professor Xavier said smiling warmly at the three rogue mutants.
The three eyed each other and shrugged. "Okay."
************************
"Hey bro you okay?" Alex asked.
Scott sighed. "Sorry, Alex. I'm just worried about Rogue. She's pretty much alone this Christmas."
"Hey why not invite her up here?"
"I tried and she flat out refused. Jean and I think she's afraid of ruining everyone's Christmas."
Alex nodded and smiled. He had met the untouchable Goth once and she seemed so unsure of herself and very nervous around everyone. He tossed the phone over. "Then call her."
"All right I will." Scott said dialing the number to the Institute."
************************
Todd heard the phone ring and looked at Rogue who nodded. Fortunately for him she didn't want to get up. She was on the ground laying in front of the fire.
"Institute yo." Todd said grinning.
"Tolanski!" An angry voice asked on the other end.
"Yo Summers how's it going."
Rogue glanced up and groaned. "Oh no."
"I'm going to kill you." Scott threatened causing his brother to look up.
"You shouldn't be threatening Rogue." He warned.
"It's not Rogue. It's Toad." He said speaking back in the phone. "Where's Rogue?"
"She's around yo. Laying on the floor with Lance." He said smirking since it was kind of true. Lance was on the floor too but not real close to Rogue.
Rogue got to her feet. "Todd give me tha phone."
"I'm not done yet." He complained.
"Give me tha phone or ah'll send ya outside an` leave ya there." She said jumping for him when he leaped out of the way.
"Catch yo." Todd said tossing the phone to Lance who caught it with ease.
"So Summers how's Hawaii?"
"Alvers I swear if you touch her I'll…"
"Nice temper Summers." Lance chuckled. "We were invited in, couldn't refuse an offer from someone like Rogue."
"Actually tha professor invahted ya in." Rogue said from behind him grabbing the phone. "Hey Scott."
"Rogue are you okay? If they did anything to you I'll…"
"Scott calm down all rahght. Everythin` is fahne. Professor Xavier invahted them in after they returned mah bahke."
"They stole it?!" Rogue cringed at the loudness in his voice and held the phone away from her ear for a second.
"No they didn` steal mah bahke. Look it's a long story an` ah'll explain everythin` to ya when ya`ll come home okay?" She asked running her fingers through her hair.
She could hear him sigh on the other end. "Okay, but if they try anything and I mean anything I want you to tell me okay?"
"Yea ah promise."
"All right. I'll call you later when their not there. Bye Rogue."
"Bye Scott." She said hearing a click and hung up as well.
"Rogue everything okay in here?" Warren asked coming into the common room.
She nods. "Yea Scott called ta check on me an` Todd answered tha phone."
"This should be interesting."
