Chapter 1: Welcome Back Rogue

"'' ' ' ' ' ''"

Rogue sat in front with one of her friends who wants to join the X-Men, when they heard she wanted to go back. A muscular man known as Lucas Bishop was driving and Rogue was guiding the way. Her other friend Tessa, was sitting in back listening to the two complain about directions.

They were already in New York and for over four hours, Lucas still couldn't fine 'Xavier's Institute', thanks to Rogue's experty in reading the road map. Tessa knew not to get involved.

When they reached the mansion gate, Rogue started to feel guilty. She haven't called the X-Men for five years. Never even checked up on them once or sent them Christmas card. Not to mention that she was able to control her power, thanks to the help of her two best friends, Tessa and Bishop.

Her mind drifted back to Scott Summer, she wonder if he's still with Jean...

Then she heard Tessa speak "Don't worry Rogue, I'll bet your friends would be all over you when we get there."

Rogue look back to the passenger seat and smiled at the blacked hair woman "Thank Tessa."

"No problem Rogue" Tessa smiled, Bishop rolled his eyes.

Rogue got out of the car and went to the gate's typed in the entry code that belonged to her once before. Hoping it'll open.

Inside the Mansion. Logan and Kurt were in the security room, they had their back turn away from the monitor that showed the Institute gates because they were busy with updating the security system. Which a curent red eyes Cajun always fine a way to get pass.

They heard a female computer voice saying "Rogue, password correct." The two men looked at each other then turn back to look at the monitors.

Kurt happily wagged his tail. It was Rogue. Then teleported away, forgetting that there were two figure behind Rogue. Logan shook his head "Kid never change..." He told himself, referring to Kurt.

Logan left the room in a hurry as well. Some saw him and wonder what was going on, so they followed. They were Remy, Kitty, Jean with a baby in her hand, Scott, Bobby, and Jubilee.

"Are we under attack homme?" Remy asked when he caught up with Logan.

"No Gumbo, Rogue's back" Logan told everyone.

Everyone stop dead in their track and looked at Logan, who stopped as well "Well, aren't we gonna welcome Rogue back?"

He's serious, they all thought.

Kitty squeal in delight "Definitely!"

Then began to run past the short Wolverine.

"Has it been five years already?" Bobby asked, it didn't seem long to him since he and Rogue weren't that close "I wonder if she changed...?"

Kurt teleported outside in front of his sister, and two strangers. His mouth dropped. She changed. Her hair are longer, her skin isn't that pale, and most importantly, she seem to be more open up to people as he watch her laugh with or rather at one of the stranger. "Rogue..."

Rogue look at him, didn't even notice he was there "Kurt!" Rogue smiled and Kurt hugged her "Ah miss ya ta, little brother."

"Rogue" Kurt said and was about to cry.'

"Kurt?" Rogue look worry "Are ya crying?"

Kurt snicker and shook his head "I just miss you so much Rogue!"

"I miss ya ta Kurt, now, let's get in the car."

Bishop drove the car inside. Now Rogue was in back with Tessa. Kurt was in front with Bishop.

"Yer right Tessa, they do miss meh" Rogue said after she saw a large crowd of X-Men she once knew.

'Tess' Rogue telepathically called out.

'Yes Rogue?' Tessa telepathically call back.

'Don't tell them anything about meh begin able ta control mah power okay?' Rogue asked.

Tessa smiled 'No problem, and I'll make sure Lucas doesn't say word either."

"Thanks Tessa" Rogue said out loud, which made Kurt turn around.

"There talking telepathically" Bishop told Kurt.

Kurt nodded and looked back at Rogue, who smiled at him "Miss me Kurt already?"

"You could say" Kurt said "So vhat have you been up to lately Rogue?"

Rogue thought for a moment... Should she tell him that she was able to control her power? No, the elf can't keep a secret. Even if he could the telepath of the house would know, she thought bitterly.

"Life is great Kurt!" Rogue told him "Nevah been bettah!"

The four opened the door and stepped out. Rogue look around, really at everyone. Then her gaze meet Remy. She remember the last time she was with him. It was in New Orleans. He had kidnapped her, made her a bit better. She saw him grinned at her so she smiled back then look at Kitty, who was raning up to her.

Kitty hugged Rogue "Oh Rogue! You came back!"

"Of course Ah did Kit" Rogue smiled and hugged Kitty back.

"How you been?" Kitty asked excitedly.

"It's been great, Ah meet two wonderful people" Rogue was gesturing toward Bishop and Tessa "How have ya been?"

Everyone who wasn't looking at the two stranger, were now. Some came and welcomed them. While other that were closing in on Rogue and circling her, including Remy.

"That's great Rogue" Kitty happily replied and gave Rogue the biggest smile she'd ever seen "I'm engage too!"

"Congratulation Kit," Rogue congratulated Kitty "Who's the lucky man?"

Kitty smiled, Rogue didn't looked disappointed like she use to while living in the Institute, where everyone were coupled up, beside herself. Kitty was glad and didn't wanted to ruin the moment by asking.

Colossus stepped up and Kitty reply, "Piotr Raspueten, or Peter as he like to be call."

"Tha's great Kitty" Rogue gave the tall giant a smile "Ya a lucky one sugah."

Piotr slightest blushed "Thanks."

Rogue looked at everyone, Jean had a baby in her arm and Scott had her arm around her shoulder. They must of been married, she thought bitterly. Luckily she wasn't there for the wedding, and Miss Perfect couldn't read her mind thanks to the strong mental shield Tessa helped her made.

Professor Xavier wheeled into the circle and gave Rogue a 'welcome home' smile.

She smiled and nodded a 'thanks'.

"Where's the Stripes?" She heard Logan said.

A smile emerge from her face, she whisper "Logan."

Of course he heard it, thanks to his sensitive ears. He made it out of the large crowd and went over to give her a hug "Welcome home Stripes, we miss you."

"Thanks Logan" She smiled "Ah miss ya guys ta."

He smiled and everyone were muttering 'Logan's gone soft' with a hint of amusement.

"Pipe down! Or extra danger room sessions" Logan warned.

Everyone shut up immediately which made Rogue laughed. Everyone loved the way Rogue laughed, especially Remy. He was practically drooling over her.

Rogue looked at Scott and Jean again "Ah'm guessing yer marry?"

Jean happily nodded and Rogue walked over to play with the baby's nose with her gloved fingers.

"Then why wasn't Ah invited?" Rogue pretend to teased, but inside she was jealous. Her feeling for him were still strong, but she should let him go, since he is happily married and have a child. But it's hard to let him go.

"Rogue we-" Scott began.

"It's nothing, really, it's my fault, Ah shoulda at least call once and check on y'all" Rogue was still hating herself for that.

The couple smiled "No problem Rogue."

"Thanks Jean, wha's the baby name?" Rogue asked looking at the baby.

"His name is Nathan Summer" Jean said.

Rogue smiled, The new recruit were up next "Rogue you looked beautiful!" Amara complimented.

Rogue cheek was slightly red "Thanks Amara, ya look wonderful yahself," she looked at all the new recruit "All of ya."

Everyone said their thanks and line up to give her a huge.

Remy finally walked up to Rogue and gave him another grin. She took out the Queen of Hearts card that he gave her that night. He looked at it and smiled "Yo' still have dat card chere?"

His feeling toward her were the same as the night she left the X-Men, it never changed since and he never had any real relationship with any girl. Since his mind always drifted back to Rogue... telling him that she'll be back. Now she's back.

He didn't care about her power. Something about her he love, since that day when she return to help him out in New Orleans, no one had ever done that before. He had used her and she came back.

"Yep, It always give meh courage whenevah Ah don't have any" Rogue told him and held the card out for him to take, "Ya can have it back."

"Non chere, Remy wan' yo' t'keep it" he smiled and began to gave her his infamous grin "Yo' must love dat card..."

Rogue looked away from the card and into his sparkling red on black eyes "Maybe..."

He smirked "Dat mean yo' must aimé (loved) Remy too?"

"Don't push it Swamp Rat" She warned like he expected, but to his surprise, she smiled and ran one of her gloved finger down his face, she laughed at the expression on his face "Wha's the matter Swamp Rat? Got a girlfriend?"

"Of course non, mon cherie, Remy be waiting fo' yo' since de day yo' left" Remy was telling the truth and she sense it. Again she felt bad. She had dreams of him from time to time while living with Bishop and Tessa. The were nothing but anger, fear, and hatred toward the world.

Rogue looked at him, their eyes meet, both sparkling. They broke apart when they heard Logan snarl.

Rogue looked at Tessa, who sent her a smiled 'look like he really like you.'

"What do you know?" Rogue said aloud, earning her a confuse look from Remy.

She looked at him and smile "Sorry, Ah was talkin' ta Tessa."

Remy confusingly nodded, Rogue smiled "Telepathically."

Remy nodded again and grinned "About moi chere?"

Rogue playfully pushed him away "Maybe... An' Ah'm not tellin'."

She walked over to Tessa and Bishop, the X-Men helped them with their luggage. Professor Xavier gave the three new room. Rogue and Kitty's old room were now occupied with four younger students. All her old items were in her new room in one of the adult's doom, in case she return. "Thanks everyone!" Rogue thanked after she entered her new room with all her old furniture.
