Bobby paced back and forth Professor Xavier's office. Logan, Storm, and Scott all stood around processing what had just happened.
"Why would she do it? Why would she go with John?" Bobby wondered aloud.
Professor Xavier looked at Bobby with sympathy in his eyes. He knew what was going through the boy's head. He was angry, hurt, and all he cared about was getting Rogue back at this point. He really did truly love her.
"Well Bobby revenge can cloud even the most humane persons mind. Right now all she feels is hate."
Logan stood up and put on his leather jacket.
"I'm tired of just sitting here and not knowing what she's doing or where John took her. I'm going to go find her and bring her back."
"And how do you suggest you find her? You saw what John could do. They could be anywhere." Storm said holding Logan back from leaving.
"Professor can you try and locate her with cerebro?" Scott asked.
"I've already tried but somehow she's shutting me out."
"This is bull I'm going to find her before she gets hurt or hurts anyone." Logan said.
Bobby stopped pacing. "I'm coming with you."
"No kid you stay here."
"Hey I'm not a kid and I love Rogue just as much as you do. I know that she herself could never hurt anyone but if John is with her there is no telling what he'll convince her to do."
"Fine but we're leaving now."
Logan and Bobby rushed out of the room before they could be stopped.
"Logan, Bobby!" Storm shouted after them but it was to late no one could stop them.
"Storm, Scott go after them make sure they don't do anything dangerous."
Meanwhile Pyro had decided to take Rogue out for a little fun. They walked around for a while before he decided on a rundown little bar. As soon as Rogue walked into the bar she could sense that there were mutants in there. Part of her longed for their power, their life forces. She knew it was wrong but the feeling was overwhelming. She scanned through the people in the bar and finally focused on a man who was playing around with a glass of water. With nothing but his hands he made small water tornados and was controlling the water. Rogue watched hypnotized as he did this. Pyro came up behind her and gently whispered in her ear.
"If you want what he has then take it, you have the power."
Rogue hesitated but the need, the urge to have that man's power running through her veins and body overtook her. She slowly walked up to him and flashed him a sweet smile. He immediately responded.
"That's a neat little trick you can do."
"Oh yeah well I have a whole bag of tricks up my sleeve."
"Oh really?"
"So you look kind of young to be in a bar."
"Yeah I get that a lot. I'm Rogue."
"I'm Clint."
"Well Clint it's nice to meet you."
"Likewise. Hey do you want to get out of here? My bike is parked right out back in the alley."
"Sure lets go."
As soon as they were outside and the coast was clear Rogue took off her left glove and touched Clint's forearm. He quickly fell to the ground and Rogue could feel his power and life being sucked out of his body and into hers. She wanted to stop, she knew it was wrong but her body wouldn't let her stop. Clint finally took his last breath and collapsed. Rogue smiled to herself as his power flowed throughout her body. Pyro flamed into the alleyway behind her.
"So how did it feel?" Pyro asked.
"It was amazing."
Pyro grabbed Rogue and kissed her for as long as he could until he had to stop.
"What do you say we get out of here and tryout that new power of yours?"
Rogue took Pyro's hand and led her down the alleyway. The power that Rogue felt was starting to fog her mind and the only things she could think about were the power she felt and what Pyro could show her and help her achieve.
