Warren quickly took off his robe and jumped out of the window and took flight. He knew he wouldn't be able to catch up with the speed demon, but perhaps his comrades. He circled the Institute a couple of times and flew around town. Not finding anyone he flew back.

"Well?" Lance asked him as he flew back into Rogue's window.

Warren shook his head. "No sign of them. He must have told them to go ahead before he grabbed her."

"What I want to know if why they wanted Rogue." Logan said with a low growl eyeing the three remaining members of the Brotherhood..

"We don't know yo." Todd said shrinking back a bit in Rogue's bed. "We were at the park talking and they showed up looking for trouble. Said Magneto wanted Rogue and we wouldn't give her up."

"Which still doesn't answer my question."

"Logan no need to yell at them." Xavier said as he wheeled into the room. "They don't know the reasons for Magneto taking Rogue and we will get her back."

"We should get the team together." Logan noted as Hank shook his head. "Not on their Christmas vacation."

"What do you suppose we say when one of the kids call asking for her. 'Sorry she's not here, Magneto took, her hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation?' Don't think so."

"We can help." Fred said.

"Yea we'll get Rogue back." Lance said. "And we'll even deliver Quicksilver to you for your own disposal."

"I'm liking this." Logan said as Xavier shook his head.

"You may help us get Rogue back.."

***************************

"Pietro if ya don` let me go ah'm gonna kill ya!" Rogue threatened for the umpteenth time since he took her from her room.

Pietro came to a quick halt almost dropping her. "Now I have a feeling you'd kill me either way."

"Why does yer father want me?"

"He thinks you have potential for being an Acolyte and so do I." He told her.

"Ah would never join ya."

"You were on my side at one time."

"No ya were on mah sahde, ah had joined first an` maybe a month later ah left."

"Yes feeling no remorse for your former teammates, no explanation as to why you left. We got back from the eating dinner out and I went to give you what we brought back for you and you weren't there. Your room was empty, all except for a bed and some curtains. No posters on the wall, no clothes all over the place, nothing. "

"Ya wouldn` have understood if ah had stayed ta tell ya`ll."

"Then tell me now what happened." He said angrily.

Rogue sighs. "We were at that field trip fer school, an` Summers was on it and….."

"So he convinced you to join?!"

"If ya would stop interruptin` me ah'll tell ya what happened." She glared at him as he stopped. "We were near some cliff part in tha cave an` Paul came ovah. Least we thought it was Paul. He transformed inta Ms. Darkholme an` then inta Mystique. I touched her an` ah saw everythin`. Everythin` she told me was a lie. She attacked me takin` form of tha X-Men. They were tryin` ta help me an` she made everythin` seem tha complete opposite. Ah realized than that Irene was on tha same sahde as her. So ah didn` leave ya`ll ta be near Scott… ah left cus ah was tired of bein` lied ta bah Mystique."

"You could have told me and I could have talked to my father."

"Pietro ah had no clue that yer father was Magneto at that tahme."

He chuckled softly running his fingers through his white hair. "True."
