Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men Evolution.

A/N: This is my very first fix so please be nice. Takes place after Under Lock and Key. Also don't yell at me for anyone's accents. I can do Rogue's pretty good I think, but I can't do Kurt's or Remy's or John's real well. But I'll try

"Rogue how are you feeling?" Scott asked as he pulled up a chair next to her bed in the med lab.

"Just fahne ah guess. Bein` stuck here fer a week an` nothing` ta do. Can` really say ah'm lonely since Kurt is in here practically twenty-four seven."

Scott chuckled. "Yea took a while to convince him to go downstairs."

"So Kurt told me ya`ll went ta London yesterday." Rogue said adjusting the bed so she could sit up.

"Yea, apparently Mesmero was able to convince Magneto that the spider was the key, when it was really the protector."

"Does this mean Mesmero wins?"

Scott sighs. "I hope not. God only knows what he's trying to open with those two keys he has."

"But there's still a third key rahght? Ah mean there's still a chance we can fahght this thing?"

"Yea there's a big chance there. Since no one knows the location of the third key. The professor believes Mesmero doesn't know of it either." He runs his hand casually through his brown hair. Even though Rogue was stuck in the med lab she still wore her Goth make-up. He was quite curious on what she would look like without all of it on, but knew he would never find out. None of them probably would.

"Scott." A soft voice from the door said as they both turned their heads and saw Jean enter the room.

"Yea Jean?"

"The professor is having a meeting downstairs. Magneto and his team are there too as well as Angel."

Scott nodded as he stood up. "See you later Rogue."

"Rahght." she said not helping to feel jealous as she saw Jean's and Scott fingers link together as they left the room. She looked down at her gloved hand and cursed silently.

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

"So it is agreed. Until we find a way to stop Mesmero from destroying the world we work together." Professor Charles Xavier said as Magneto nodded.

"Yes, I will inform the Brotherhood of this as well. Don't think after this is all over things will be different between us Charles."

"I wouldn't expect less from you Eric." He said.

"Vait don't ve get a vote?" Kurt asked surprised as the rest of them.

"Kurt we all need to work together this time. All of us." Jean told him.

"Don't forget they tried to kill us." Kurt said annoyed that no one was really listening to him.

"We know Kurt, it's just we need all the help we can get. Ever since our exposure of being mutants to the world we already lost two teammates because their parents took them home." Scott said thinking about Rahne and Jubilee. "And Evan's been with the Morlock's for almost a month now."

"He's like right Kurt." Kitty said finally speaking up. "Even if it does mean working with them." She wasn't totally over the fact of Lance breaking up with her and everyone knew it, but she was dealing slowly with it. "But like shouldn't rogue be in this too?" She asked glancing at Mr. McCoy.

"I don't see why she can't come downstairs for this meeting." Mr. McCoy said but before he could say anything else he was cut off by Kurt's teleporting.

"So do you think Rogue will come?" Bobby asked.

"I don't think Kurt will give her a choice." Scott said chuckling.

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

"Come on Rogue." Kurt said as he bamfed next to her bed and took hold of her covered arm.

"Kurt lemme go. What are ya crazy?"

"Can't have a meeting vithout you." He said bamfing out and back into the common room.

"Kurt ah swear ah'm goin` ta….." Rogue started to threat as she looked around.

"Bonjour chere." Remy said grinning at her.

"Drop dead swamp rat." She said thankful that Kurt bamfed her blanket along as she pulled it around her.

John glanced over at the Goth out of the corner of his eyed. She didn't look as energetic as the last time he saw her, but then again they were fighting. Now she looked like she had been through hell and back. He stood up from the comfortable seat and moved towards her. "Have the chair Sheila."

Rogue eyes him. "Why are they still here?"

"We've decided to work together?" Jean said.

"What?!" She asked shocked. "Ah am not working` with `em or that swamp rat."

"Chere, Remy ain` dat bad." He told her.

"You should be able to get out of the med lab soon right?" Jamie asked hopefully looking at her and then at the doctor.

Mr. McCoy nodded. "As long as it's okay with the professor Rogue can return to her old bedroom."

"I see no problem with it." Xavier stated.

"Remy would love to know your powers one of these days."

"Why don` ah show ya." She said stepping towards him as Kurt stopped her. "Tsk Tsk Tsk. No touching remember." He said waving his index finger in front of her and led her to the chair John had offered her.

"Yes Rogue please don't touch any of them no matter how tempting it may seem." Kitty pleaded with her roommate. "Don't get me wrong I like loved having the room to myself again but it got lonely."

Remy, Piotr, and John glanced at each other confused. "Rogue's power is quite different from others." Magneto said. "Whomever she comes in contact skin to skin with she absorbs them."

"Absorbs?" Piotr asked in his thick Russian accent.

"Yes memories and powers. You may ask the fellow Brotherhood members of this. Rogue did live with them at one time."

"Yea used ta. Meanin` past tense. Ah don` need anyone's memories in mah head rahght now but mah own. Ah got `nough from Mystique." she said shivering still not believing that Mystique is her adopted mother meaning Kurt was her adopted little brother.

"Where's Logan?" Sabertooth asked not sensing him anywhere in the Institute."

"Logan and Ororo have gone in search for Mystique." Xavier told him. "They both left yesterday morning and with luck will be returning soon."

Sabretooth let out a low growl but didn't say anything. It was bad enough he had to work along side with his enemy, but his enemy wasn't even there at the moment and he couldn't pick a fight with those kids.

"I'm sure I can convince Tabitha to come back for a while." Amara said hearing Roberto groan softly. "Not her."

"Anyone but Boom Boom." Ray added.

"Well first thing those two ever agreed on." Sam whispered to Bobby who nodded smirking.

"So it's settled. I will have the Brotherhood come here in the morning after breakfast along with us." Magneto said.. "We can work out any other minor or major details then."

"Angel you are more then welcome to stay here for a while." Xavier told him.

"Thank you Professor Xavier." He said nodding. "I think I might take you up on that offer for now."
