In case you missed it, I reposted chapter 5 making Mystique head of the brotherhood not the Acolytes. oops
"Rogue, y' okay?" Remy walked into her room. His empathy picked up her sadness and his heart wrenched at the sight of her tear streaked face. Merde you really fallin' for dis one. He slowly walked over and sat down next to her. "C'mon chere, don't let what happened last night get t' you."
"That's all ah'll be good for, Remy! This damned mutation is only good for death. People like Mystique, they just want to use me as a weapon." Remy put his arms around her but she flinched away. "Don't, please, Ah'm meant to be alone." He just put his arms around her again.
"Dats not true, Rogue, I don't care whether y' can touch me or not, You're de most amazing person I've ever met an' I want t' be wit y'. Ah'll protect y' from bitches like Mystique an' anyone else who wants t' get t' you for stupid reasons. C'mon chere, we'll get t'rough dis." He felt a feeling of hope slowly come over her and squeezed her tighter. Suddenly there was a loud knock at the door.
"Who could dat be?" They both got up to open the door.
"Momma!" Rogue exclaimed excitedly, seeing Raven Darkholme standing at the door. "What are ya doing here? How did ya find meh?" Raven engulfed her in a hug.
"Baby I've missed you so much. I understand that you felt you had to leave, but I have this mutant friend, she and a group of other mutants work together to help each other and get control of their powers. I thought I would see if you would like to join. They really are nice people who can help you very much. You would be very comfortable staying with them in a nice big house with people your age." Rogue processed what her mother said but remembered the events of last night. Then she scolded herself. This was her mother and she trusted her.
"Could Remy come too?" A look af distaste flashed across Ravens face but she easily replaced it with a smile. Rogue didn't see but it did not go unnoticed by Remy. Something was not right here and he made up his mind to follow Rogue with this group of mutants to find out what was wrong and to protect her from whatever that was.
"Of course he can come. I can take you over now to introduce you to some people and show you the place." Rogue agreed so Remy followed.
They were taken to a nice manor with high fences and sophisticated décor. They rang the bell and a girl that looked Rogue's age answered the door. She was tall with short hair, black on top and red on the bottom. She was dressed in gothic clothes and wore thick dark make up. Rogue liked her immediately.
"Ah, hello Wanda," Raven greeted her. "This is Rogue and Remy." She gestured to the two. "Where is everyone?
"Oh they went out, but they should be back soon." Her voice was very cool and uncaring.
"Ok, well why don't you show Remy around while I show Rogue around." Remy flinched at this. Whoever this woman was, she was trying to separate them. I'll play along but she won't get away with whatever she's planning. He opened up his keen senses to his surroundings so he be able to detect anything wrong. His empathy picked up the tiniest hint of satisfaction in Raven. You're good at hiding your emotions, but not good enough. He thought as he walked out with Wanda.
"-and this is the kitchen, down this way is the lab-" Remy had been mostly tuning Wanda out but he was losing his patience. Nothing seemed suspicious but he knew there was something wrong. Wand opened a heavy metal door.
"-this is the-" Remy grabbed her arm tightly.
"Ok I'm sick of dese games. Tell me what de hell is goin' on here and what y' people want with Rogue." Wanda's face looked up in confusion.
"I don't know what you're talking about. We just want to help her." The fabric of her top started glowing pink and orange.
"Y' better pray I don't let go or you'll be in worst shape then that fake who's got Rogue. Tell me what you want." Wanda smiled.
"I can see why Mystique wanted you out of the way. You're much too protective of that girl and it's messing up her plans." Wanda's hand started glowing blue and she shot to bolts of blue energy into Remy. He gasped as he felt the charge he put in Wanda's shirt violently force it's way back into his hand. He let go and screamed, his arm felt like it was on fire. He fell into the open doorway and watched helplessly as Wanda shut the metal door.
Just then a loud alarm sounded and Wanda rushed meeting Raven and Rogue on the way. Rogue saw a large group of people coming in, all wearing similar uniforms with X's on them.
"Are those the other mutants here?" She questioned.
"No that's the enemy." Raven hissed. "Stay back." She grabbed Rogue's wrist to pull her behind her back but she touched just above the glove where her bare skin was exposed. Rogue yelled loudly as her vision blurred and just before the flood of memories flowed into her mind, she saw Raven's white skin turn blue and her dark hair turn red. In her mind she saw scenes from her childhood, Irene was there, everything was. Mystique and Raven are the same person, she realized, horrified. All the way in the dark room Remy was in, he felt Rogue's pain and her feeling of betrayal. He had to get out.
Rogue clutched her head on the ground watching, not comprehending what was going on. There were three more people fighting on Wanda's side, the two who were with Mystique the night before and another who was large and very strong. They were going against the other group of mutants. One was shooting laser beams from a visor on his head, two flying up in the air, one with dark skin and white hair, another with bright red hair. A short, animal-like man was fighting with exceptional skill and metal claws from his hands and a furry blue creature was disappearing and appearing all over the place. Remy got out and came to Rogue's side as a girl phased out of the ground. So much noise and confusion, Rogue lost consciousness.
