Kitty followed lance and the others down the tunnel all she knew was they weren't under the sea or in space she climbed through the hatch and started to breath in the air... she frowned the air tasted and smelled funny. It had that acidic burnt quality that kitty had smelled when they had wrecked the danger room...
"I wonder what got blowed up..." began kitty
"Um kitty?" said lance his voice awed
"Yeah lance?" replied kitty
"Turn around." Said lance
Kitty turned around and her blood turned to ice.
High in the sky...
Was two red suns....
"I ...I...don't think we're on earth anymore lance" said Freddy
Lost
Part three
It had to be some sort of sick joke. Thought Tabitha
It just had to be.
Before here was a blatant sign that she was no longer on earth. She turned and saw kitty crying into lances chest
The light...that's what did this...the light brought them there...they had been abducted by aliens...
"Tabitha ya all right?" Asked rogue
Tabitha looked at rogue her face full of tears...she nodded mutely
"Vat are we going to do?" Asked Kurt...
"I...I don't know...I..." stuttered lance he looked down at kitty
"I say we do recon," said Benjamin
Lance looked up "yeah that's a good idea... but we should stick together we don't want to lose anybody and we don't know what's out there its about 500 yards to that cluster of trees...how's about some of us scouts ahead and we follow behind by 500 yards the distance between us wont be too great..."
"I'll go with the scouts," said Tabitha "I can use my bombs as a flare to help you lot keep us in sight"
"That's great okay blob your bringing up the back Nightcrawler, Tabitha you go with radius and Benjamin that is if you guys don't mind..." said lance
"No problem" said radius
"It is fine," replied Benjamin
Suddenly there was a grumble and lance clutched his stomach "oh man...I'm hungry..."
"I've been hungry since we woke up," grumbled Freddy.
"We'll forage for food," said Nightcrawler...
"Thanks man..."
And with that the group set off ...
- - - - - - -
They had walked steadily for 2 hours when they came out of the forest they found themselves looking at a stream with weird fish jumping out and swimming up stream...
"Food!" Yelled Freddy rushing to the stream and with remarkable speed plunged a fist in and grabbed a fish and threw it on the bank...Benjamin and flex joined in
Lance turned to Nightcrawler "and you found nothing?"
"Oh we found plenty of leaves and plants and well they're inedible"
"How do you know for sure!" snapped kitty
"Whoa kitty!" said Tabitha. "Benjamin has a healing factor like badger and when he tried them the made him ill, he thinks they're all poisonous and I agree with him."
"But I'm a vegetarian! "
"We know but you're going to have to put your beliefs to one side kitty..."
"No! I wont eat living---"
"Kitty stop this right now you want to starve to death?" snapped lance "Are you that cowardly to give up?"
"What the hell are you talking about lance?!"
"If you don't eat you'll starve and die, rather than eat you want to give up...I thought the xmen don't give up!"
"Don't bring the xmen into this!"
"He's right." said rogue "the xmen don't give up...you have to go on kitty for the others who may be dead or out there somewhere it may mean sacrificing a few small beliefs but it means we go on... "
Kitty looked at rogue tears in her eyes... "Rogue I miss them my mum! My dad! Scott, Jean, Evan, Wolverine, and the new mutants I miss them so much... it hurts... I just I just wanna crawl up in a hole and die..."
"I miss my dad and my cuz," said Jenni
"I miss my sister," said radius
"Me too." said flex
"I miss Pietro and Todd," said Tabitha.
"We're all missing someone kitty but they wouldn't want us to curl up and die would they...they'd want us to go on," said lance
"Like, when did you get so smart lance?" Said kitty softly
"Me? Smart? Nah I'm as dumb as a plank that's just common sense"
Kitty smiled "well I say your smart and that's all that matters...say...how do we know the fish isn't poisonous? "
"Well if Freddy and Benjamin can eat em raw they should cause no problem cooked..." said rogue looking over to where the two boys were eating raw fish
"Ewwwww!" Cringed Jenni
"How are we going to cook them? "
"Roast them on an open fire?" said Tabitha
"Yeah!" said Nightcrawler "lets find loos twigs and leaves to make a fire... "
- - - - - -
Kitty pryde sighed and cursed herself she had forgotten how good fish tasted she snuggled in lances arms as he sung her favourite song to her...
Across from them Freddy and Benjamin were setting up camp... they had taken a large sheet of the rubbery material from the hull of the space pod, as the group had taken to describing the cylindrical container that the had left, as well as ripping out a few pipes to use as poles to make a tent big enough for them to sleep in...
"Do you think the others are out there?"
"I like to think so" said lance "I can just imagine Pietro is probably cursing and kicking up a fuss think we ditched him..."
"Yeah and Scott is doing his impression of professor Xavier telling the others to stay calm, but failing miserably" added kitty
"Yeah I can see that," chuckled lance "that guy has one huge stick up his arse...."
"Hey..." said Jenni walking over "the tents done..."
Kitty looked over at the tent and sighed it wasn't very good but it would have to do...
She walked over and stepped inside Tabitha and Jenni had made several makeshift mattresses of leaves and Freddy was already snuggling up on one...
"I will stand guard," said Benjamin "I do not need to sleep for another 72 hours..."
"Are you sure dude?" Asked lance
Benjamin nodded
"Okay..." said lance he snuggled on a bed of leaves...
Kitty made a decision she walked over to lance and lay beside him...
"Kitty? "asked lance
"Shush lance I...I just want to sleep in your arms..."
Lance nodded and pulled her close

Rogue was dreaming....
Back in the early days the brotherhood days
Pietro was painting the walls blob was in the kitchen eating and lance sat on the window ledge. She walked over to him "what's up lance?"
"I was just thinking rogue...why am I such a screw up?"
"What ya talking about?"
"There's this girl see"
"That kitty girl?"
"Yeah...that's the one. She's well she's cute, not a stunner but she's cute and
Well she makes me feel funny...but I screwed it up so bad now she wont look at me..."
"Ah seen the way she looks at you lance I think she still likes you..."
"You think so?"
"Heck ah'm sure she does..."
"Thanks rogue you know you're all right... kind of like the sister I wish I had"
"Puleeze! As if!"
The two laughed...
Suddenly the dream shifted before her was two people
Irene and herself as a little girl she started to cry and Irene lifted her up and sung a lullaby as she sung the lullaby rogue could hear the love in Irene's voice...
"Go to sleep my sweet Anna... "Said Irene, tears in her eyes... she placed Anna in her crib and walked out of the room
Irene sank to the ground and started to cry. "Oh god I don't want to lose her like I lost Kurt, graydon, June and Toby... why must I lose my children!" she cried
Rogue tensed lost Kurt? But Irene never... before rogues eyes Irene shifted into mystique this shocked rogue... just how many times had mystique taken Irene's place...
As mystique walked to her room she tensed and turned round... "Erik." she said softly
"Raven. I have need of you..."
"No." replied mystique
"Do not be a fool raven... the cause..."
"Damn the cause! Erik you experimented on my son!!!"
"It was for the good of mutant kind!"
"Damn the good of mutant kind I told you I'm through working with you! I want to live a normal life with my daughter your cause cost me her little brother "
"You will not refuse my summons mystique...or else..."
"Or else what..."
"Blood contains iron does it not?"
"You're going to kill me?"
"No. I will kill her."
"You wouldn't!!" said mystique in horror...
"To safeguard the future of mutant kind... I would"
"Please no...Erik...not my Anna please!"
"Then you will do as I say?"
"Yes magneto..."
Suddenly the dream speed up it showed mystique doing terrible things on the orders of magneto and it showed a little part of raven dying with each mission it showed her crying at night longing to hold her daughter in her arms but afraid of tainting her with her blood stained hands it showed mystiques terror at Irene's prediction of her losing rogue... it showed the agony mystique felt when she realised she had lost her daughter
Rogue sat up in shock she suddenly realised just how much mystique loved her just how much of her soul she had sacrificed for her and then she remembered the other revelation, "oh mah god..." gasped rogue "Kurt really IS my brother "
