Visiting Day

"Well who's going today?" Ororo asked as she looked over her tan outfit in the mirror one last time.

"Kurt obviously," Xavier told him.

"Rogue doesn't want to see Mystique," Ororo sighed. "And I can't say I blame her. But she does want to see Evan. I'd like her to come with me when I see him."

"That's perfectly all right," Xavier told her. "Considering what I wish to discuss with Mystique maybe it's better she doesn't come with us. I have a feeling she might want to speak to Destiny though."

"All right," Ororo nodded. "What about the others?"

"I think it might be a good idea that we not have too many mutants visiting the prison at the same time," Xavier said. "Just those two for now."

"We're ready," Kurt and Rogue appeared. Kurt was wearing a suit and his inducer on. Rogue was wearing a modest green pantsuit with long sleeves and a white top with green jacket as well as her gloves.

"Then I guess we'd better go then," Xavier sighed. They went to the prison using the X Velocity. The ride was mostly silent until they were near the prison. "I can't believe that Evan is locked up in the same place they had the Juggernaut," Ororo shuddered involuntarily.

"I know Ororo," Rogue looked at her. "I hurts me to think of Irene and Evan locked up in here."

Ororo wisely kept her mouth shut about Mystique. They didn't say anything else until they landed. Xavier and Kurt went to the visit Mystique in her cell Rogue and Ororo went to see Evan. Since Stonewall prison was built to house the most dangerous criminals all prisoners were stationed in single cells specifically built for them. Evan's cell was on the other side of the building from Mystique's. Two male guards stopped both Ororo and Rogue. "Hold it! We need to make sure that you two aren't carrying any concealed weapons."

"Guess we'll have to frisk 'em," The other guard leered.

"Before you get too into your job I think you should know that I'm the one who has the poison skin," Rogue told them. "And she tends to shoot off lightning when she gets excited for any reason."

"Uh…On second thought they look okay," The first guard backed off.

"Yeah go right ahead," The other gulped.

"Good thinking," Ororo whispered to her as they left.

"Sometimes it's good to be a mutant," Rogue made a slight grin. "Guess there's some advantages of folks being scared of us."

They went to Evan's cell. It was covered with an energy screen. Evan was wearing some kind of electronic bracelets and the bottom half of an orange jumpsuit; the top had been torn away because the spikes on his upper half were too thick. "Oh Evan…" Ororo's face saddened.

"Hi Auntie O," Evan said. "I'm sorry about all this."

"So am I," Ororo said.

"Hey girl," Evan smiled at Rogue. "Good to see a friendly face."

"Are they treating you all right?" Rogue asked.

"Yeah," Evan nodded. "It's okay. Guards aren't exactly the friendliest folks in the world but they tend to stay away from a guy with spikes. At least I got my own cell. No roommate. And of course the latest fashion accessory." He showed them the bracelets. "Can't get an inhibitor collar around my neck because of the spikes. So they made these bracelets to shock me if I use my powers. So they tell me. I don't really want to test that theory yet."

"Evan we're trying to get you out of here," Ororo told him.

"I know you are Auntie O," Evan nodded. "But it doesn't look like I'll be going anywhere for a while. Mom and Dad were here yesterday. It took me a while but I made them promise not to sue the Institute."

"Well maybe if you'd talked to them in the first place…" Rogue began.

"I know! I know! I got the same lecture from them yesterday and I don't want to go into it now," Evan told her. He decided to change the subject. "So what's new at the mansion?"

"Well we have a few new students," Rogue told him. "Rahne's back."

"That's great!" Evan grinned. "How's Wolf Girl doing?"

"Fine. Oh and Kitty's friend Danielle is staying with us as well as Alison Blaire and X23."

"Wait, that's Wolverine's clone right?" Evan asked. "And isn't Alison Blaire…"

"The Dazzler yes," Ororo told him.

"Whoa…" Evan blinked. "Man that place is happening. And I guess Thornn is celebrating huh?"

Ororo paused before speaking. "Thornn…Has left the mansion temporarily to be with her sister."

"Feral?" Evan asked, obviously shocked.

"No her other sister on Muir Island," Rogue told him. "The one she thought Feral killed."

"Oh…" Evan said. "Man what the hell was I thinking hooking up with her?"

"I was going to ask the same question," Ororo's eyes narrowed.

"Oh boy. How much did she tell you?" Evan winced.

"The fact that you cheated on her and were sleeping around with nearly everything in a skirt down there," Rogue folded her arms.

"Okay now that's a bit exaggerated," Evan huffed. "I screwed up with Thornn. I know I did. I've made a few mistakes in the dating department. Okay a lot of mistakes."

"When you get home Evan we are going to have a nice long chat about those kind of mistakes," Ororo told him.

"You didn't tell Mom about this did you?" Evan asked.

"Of course not!" Ororo shouted. "You think I'm going to broadcast another thing I've failed you in at this time?"

"Oh come on Auntie O," Evan groaned. "You're making a big deal about all of this! I mean, most of the time it didn't mean anything. It was just something to do."

"Something to do?" Ororo's voice rose.

"That did not come out right," Evan put his head in his hands. "Was that a wrong choice of words! Rogue come on, you tell her."

"Evan I am the last person right now to sympathize with you on this!" Rogue snapped.

"Look just because you can't touch anybody doesn't mean…" Evan stopped when he saw the look in her eyes.

"Don't go there Evan," Rogue growled.

"Okay that was out of line," Evan backed off. "Do we really need to talk about this now Auntie O? I mean…" He indicated Rogue.

"She's here to make sure that I don't kill you for what you've put me through," Ororo told him.

"Don't be so sure," Rogue told her. "I might decide to help you."

"Please tell me that at least you were safe!" Ororo said.

"Safe-ish," Evan whistled. "Oh who are you to talk? You dated Dracula!"

"At least she didn't hop into bed with him!" Rogue snapped.

"Oh god…" Evan groaned. "This is a nightmare."

"You think being in prison is a problem wait until we clear your name and get your lazy butt out of here," Rogue told him.

"You might consider this place restful after we're through with you," Ororo told him.

"Well if it isn't Charles Xavier," Mystique drawled as she paced her cell wearing an orange jumpsuit and an inhibitor collar. "And my loving son here for a visit. What a surprise. I didn't know you cared. Oh wait you don't. Mr. Daniels is in here too. I take it you decided to make it two for one. Save you a trip?"

"Considering our family history Mother I hardly think you're one to complain," Kurt snapped.

"We haven't come here to gloat Mystique," Xavier told her. "We've come to discuss your…situation."

"You mean my pregnancy!" Mystique snapped. "You think by now I would have learned not to have stupid mistakes like this!"

"You mean like me?" Kurt asked bitterly.

"Kurt," Xavier held up his hand. He turned to Mystique. "You know there is a very good chance that your child could end up as a mutant?"

"Would be a real kick in the pants if it wasn't," Mystique grunted. "But then again maybe that wouldn't be so bad would it? Then the kid wouldn't end up a soldier in your little X-Men. Yeah I think it would hurt you even more than if it was human because you couldn't use it against me!"

"Mystique please," Kurt asked. "Do you really want your baby to grow up in prison? At least with us it will be with family."

"That's hardly a comforting thought," Mystique told him. "There's not really much of a choice is there? I mean I wasn't offered some sweet deal with SHEILD like Destiny."

"Destiny's not here?" Xavier asked.

"You didn't know?" Mystique smiled. "Not even ten minutes after we arrived at this charming facility your good friend Nick Fury waltzed in and took her. I find that rather insulting. Here I am a shapeshifter, the perfect spy and he doesn't even give me the time of day!"

"I was not aware of this," Xavier frowned.

"Well it's nice to know that there are some things the world's greatest telepath hasn't a clue of," Mystique said sarcastically.

"You're the one who doesn't have a clue Mystique if you think…" Kurt began. An alarm cut him off. "What's going on?"

"Gentlemen," Mystique grinned. "I believe this is what is called a break-out."
