Ms. Rogue LeBeau, and Chica De Los Ojos Café thank you both very much for reviewing I'm glad you enjoy my story. Like I said I'm going to write out as much of what's in my head before winter break, but for like three weeks there's probably going to be nothing new.

The X-Men dressed and were ready to roll in minutes. Except for Kitty who was only just stopping jumping up and down. Rogue squeezed into the last seat of the Blackbird just as Kitty phased through the plane into the one next to her.

"So?"

Rogue looked at her. "So what?"

"How was he?"

Rogue sighed. "You know nothin' happened."

Kitty grinned. "But did you want it to happen?"

Rogue blushes. "No. Not with him."

"Why not with him?"

"He's too…smarmy. I'd just be another notch on his bed post." Rogue knew this wasn't true but didn't want to reveal her true feelings to the younger mutant (who had long ago lost her cherry to one Mr. Lance Alvers). Her feelings for Remy were too…big. And they had to go away. Far, far away.

Up ahead on the plane the professor turned to speak to all of them. "From what we can tell, it's three mutants against one. You are to-"

"What do you mean three against one? Why would mutants attack other mutants?" Kitty asked.

"We attack other mutants all the time Shadowcat. This I think is no different." In the background Rogue heard Logan mutter that it was a difference of motive. "I want you to split of into two teams. Logan and Ororo are going to go in solo, but I want the rest of you to watch each other's backs. Two of the mutants are very powerful and the other one I can't get much of a reading on with cerebro."

Rogue nodded and then asked her question. "Who's going to lead the teams?"

The professor looked at her speculatively. "I think you will lead one and Scott the other."

Scott looked affronted at that. "Even after…"

"What do ya mean 'even after'? Ah have done nothing wrong Scott Summers!" Rogue said fiercely as she rose from her seat. "Need Ah remind you that Ah have yo memories and Ah know some things that ya…"

Scott, too, rose from his seat. "Nothing?! You were in bed with that…"

The professor had had enough though. "Enough!" (See?) "You two will quit fighting. Scott, it was my decision to put her in charge and no one else's. Rogue, you and I will discuss what happened at the house. Now everyone prepare."

The professor turned around and wheeled his way back to the front. Rogue and Scott glared at each other before returning to their seats as well. Interesting to note that when Scott sat down Jean subjected him to a smack on the head.

When the Blackbird touched down, the two teams split up. Rogue's team had Kitty, Nightcrawler, and Magma (one of two new recruits allowed on this mission). Scott's team consisted of Cyclops, Jean, Beast, and Iceman. The only thing about the situation they knew was that it was Angel that was under attack. The last sighting of the fight was on the rooftop of Chrysler Building, or at least above it. Rogue's team was to head up there and look around. Scott's team was searching the area on the ground in case the fight had fallen a bit.

Nightcrawler teleported the team up there, two at a time. Then they began to canvas the areas they could reach. Shadowcat phased up to the very top to see if the fight was still in the air while Magma searched the floors below. Rogue and Nightcrawler walked the balcony looking at the buildings below.

Rogue's communicator chirped. "Yeah?"

"Nothing down here, Stripes. I'm headin' up to give you a hand."

"Cool, but nothin' here either. Wait, Ah see somethin'!" Rogue turned off her communicator and called for Nightcrawler. Together they ported down to one of the lower buildings, just as some kind of dark blue light hit Angel in the stomach.

Rogue snuck around the corner of a large vent after sending Nightcrawler to get the others. She removed her glove so that she could knock out the attackers and save the delectable Angel. Just as she turned the corner she ran into someone. Her own future.
