Best Two Out of Three
Chapter 12: When You Have No Sense of Direction…
"Don't worry Master. I have taken care of it."
A dull mummer caught her attention. She was confused. She thought for sure that she was Rogue, but now she didn't know.
She wasn't exactly sure where she was either. All she could see was something like a dense fog in her mind…sometimes she could see glimpses of her situation through the clouded orbs that had become her eyes, but mostly it was darkness.
She had also discovered something that puzzled her: her psyches were missing. She had not heard a word from them since she had come into the state she was in.
It was a strange feeling…being alone. Her mind hadn't been this clear for the past three years, when she first found out about her powers.
Rogue felt like she had been trapped in her mind for days, even weeks, and still the slow, silent passage of time went on.

"Dis doesn't look good," Gambit murmured. He looked over at the anxious looks on St. John and Piotr's faces and decided he should take action.
"John, Piotr," Gambit said as he caught his companion's attention. "Let's go. Stay close." Gambit started walking towards where he thought the exit of the park was.
A thief had to have a little thing called a sense of direction, and naturally he, Remy Lebeau of the Thieves Guild, would possess that quality.
Gambit walked uncertainly towards the densest part of the fog. Somehow it made more sense to him that if he met the fog head on, he would find the exit. Suddenly, he felt a shiver go down his spine.
Rogue's body stirred uneasily in his arms. Something was about to happen, but he didn't know what.
"Did anyone else feel that?" Gambit heard St. John ask, but he did not stop to answer.
If they didn't find the exit there was no telling what would happen.

It didn't matter what the Professor had said; Kitty was still worried about Rogue.
He said she was supposed to be back by dinnertime, and it was already past midnight. She had half a mind to go to the Professor and demand that he tell her what was really going on.
But she could sense there was a reason he was holding back from her. Well, if the Professor wasn't going to be of any help, then she would have to find the answers herself.
Kitty stood up from her bed and walked across the room to her closet.
She flung open the door and grabbed her X-men uniform. Now all she had to do was find Kurt and convince him to come with her.
It wouldn't be that hard.
All she had to do was tell him his sister was in trouble and sit back and let him do all the difficult stuff.

Professor Xavier glanced over at the man to his right.
Magneto was in deep thought, and he had been staring out the large window that took up half of Xavier's upstairs office for more than a half hour.
Xavier had to give the man some credit; he was as disciplined as he boasted he was.
But recent events had made Xavier think that his trust had been misplaced when he let Magneto into his home. He held little against Magneto, but he knew what the man could do.
And for one time in his life, Xavier was actually afraid. Afraid for his students, Magneto, and even afraid for himself.
This would be a deadly challenge, and Rogue's life would go to the victor.
Xavier's stare fell, and, laying his head gently down to rest on his hand, he closed his eyes and waited.
