The Mission
Chapter 1 = the message
"All Senior Students come to the briefing room." Professor X's voice chimed over the intercom. Scott looked up from his book and quickly rose to ascend to the bottom level. He insisted to get to the meetings before the others to set a good example. Logan and Jean soon joined him.
"What do you think the Professor wants to talk about?" Jean asked.
"Who knows, guess we'll find out in a minute huh." Scott answered.
They walked into the room to be greeted by some unexpected faces. Magneto stood behind the professor along with Sabortooth, Pyro, Colossus, Pieatro and Gambit. In a flash Logon's claws were out, Jeans hand was on her four head and Scott's was on his glasses.
"Calm down, this is a business meeting, we are to treat our guests as guests." The Professor said coming up to them. Pieatro smirked.
The same reaction was repeated when the other members arrived. None of the X-men happy about their visitor's presence, but then again Magneto's troop wasn't too excited to be there. They were preparing to begin when Magneto made an observation.
"Were is Rouge? We can't start without her." As if his voice had summoned her she entered the room head in her hands.
"Sorry ah'm late." She mumbled not looking were she was going.
She had not seen the reason for the meeting or she would have flipped as well. Rouge was about to look up when she ran right into Gambit (not that he minded).
"Sorry" She apologized rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"Gambit don't mind chere." He said with a smile, containing his laugh.
Rouge looked up in shock at the Cajun. She jumped two feet back to look at the whole group.
"What the hell is goin' on?!" Rouge exclaimed her accent making her anger show through. She noticed that she was still in her PJ's witch were a white t-shirt and white shorts. Her face grew pink from embarrassment and anger. She moved behind kitty and Kurt to hide. Gambit and Pyro chuckled.
"Magnet boy and his gang like are here to talk business." Kitty said eyeing Gambit; he had enjoyed Rouges reaction a little too much.
"Yes we have decided its time to see if we can track Apocalypse." Magneto said glaring at Gambit. They didn't need more confrontation.
"You mean you want the professor inside my head? Look there is nothin' there that will help, ah spent a week searchin'." She was still a little upset at herself for coming to a meeting in her PJ's. She was still exhausted from the draining process and slept most of the day.
"Please Rouge maybe I can find something that you missed." Xavier asked.
Rouge grunted, but she sat down in the middle of the room so the professor could investigate all he wanted. As much as she hated it when Jean invaded her mind she felt worse when the professor entered. She felt like he judged her in a way. Hopefully he wouldn't come across that thought while he was in there.
"Rouge try to relax you know I'm not going to hurt you."
"Ya ah know ah'm more worried about what they'll do while were doin' this." Rouge said looking at Magneto.
The Professor shook his head and placed his hand on her covered shoulders. He entered her mind slowly searching for left over memories. Rouge's mind was defiantly complicated. She had a place for her memories and then another area for people she absorbed. It moved allot so he had to find the memories first. He saw a white light and moved to look at it. As so as his mind touched the area the light grew and violently forced the professor out of Rouges mind.
Rouge screamed and then went silent. Her head lifted to show a blank look on her face as Apocalypse spoke through her.
"Pitiful I expected better from the mighty X-men. You should be more protective of your children, if your not careful this energy source shall again be mine." With that Rouge fell over.
Chapter 2= New Roomies
Kitty ran to Rouge's side. Rouge sate up and moved away from the professor, a look of sheer horror on her face. She tripped and fell, but Gambit again in her way. She didn't care who caught her Rouge sacked him in the jaw and took off toward the rooms. Gambit held his mouth. Rouge hit hard for a girl.
"What happened?" Logan asked.
"He was waiting for me to enter her mind so that I would scare her into thinking we can't be trusted." The Professor answered rubbing his temples.
"Do vou zink it vorked?" Kurt asked with concern in his normally happy voice.
"Ya." Gambit said still rubbing his chin.
"No, she was waiting for a reason to do that bub." Logan said coldly.
"I'll like go talk to her." Kitty said running off after Rouge.
