Upstairs, in Rogue's room, Rogue and John sat on the bed talking (that's all they do nowadays). "Ah told ya Ah would handle it."

John, being upset, got up to pace. "You didn't say you were going to make out with him as your way of handling it."

"Well, John, Ah didn't say a lot of things that are goin' to happen. Are ya goin' to freak out at every one?"

"No." John ground out. Just then a brilliant light appeared in the Northwest corner of the room. A time portal. Rogue knew that within seconds she would have her baby back in her arms. But then something happened. The portal closed without anyone coming through.

"What the hell was that?" John asked.

"Ah don't know but Ah'm goin' to find out."

"Where you going?" John called after the receding back of the woman he loved as she stormed down the hallway.

"Ah goin' to find me a husband!"

Three Years Into The Future (Rogue, John, Katherine, and Mystique's Timeline)

"It didn't vork!"

"Damnit Kurt! Why not?" Wanda shouted back from where she was firing off several hex bolts at the approaching "time correctors". Shaped like cyclones, these anomalies were the result of a time line change, hopefully by Rogue and the gang.

Behind Wanda, her husband Brian sat with Elias. The babe was asleep thankfully. Across the small ruins, Kurt was busy trying to create a time portal on his own. Unfortunately he needed Wanda's help to stabilize it. Her powers over probabilities were the only thing that had allowed his sister and the others to go back in the first place.

Swearing, Wanda gestured to Brian to help. He came over to take over with keeping the cyclone looking disturbances at bay. Using all his concentration, Brian constructed a force field around them. Nodding to him Wanda grabbed Elias and ran to where Kurt lay on the ground. He was panting, obviously exhausted.

"Get up. Now!" Kurt struggled to his feet as Wanda ordered him. Together they both concentrated on creating a time portal. Once again there was a flash of light, but this time it held. Kurt had disappeared and then reappeared in seconds.

"I t'ink I got the right time. Go!" Wanda jumped into the portal, heading through the other dimensions and into the right one. Behind her, Brian turned to enter as well. He slapped Kurt on the back before jumping through. As he did, the force field around Kurt collapsed. Just before he was consumed by an anomaly, Kurt thought he caught the glimpse of green grass and a large beautiful mansion on the other side. He thought he glimpsed children, mutants, playing outside. What a wonderful idea, he thought, that we might have succeeded.

Rogue stormed down the halls and into the room where Bishop, Sage, and Sean had been assigned. The only one in the room was Sean.

"Release it."

"Release what, wife?"

Rogue gritted her teeth and walked to where he sat on the bed. "The hold you have on time travel. Ah know it's one of ya, and ya will release it."

"Expecting someone?"

Rogue stifled the urge to slap the smug look off his face. "Yes, now do it."

"What will you do for me?"

Rogue floundered. "Huh?"

Sean stood, and stepped closer to Rogue. "What will you do for me?"

"What do ya want?"

"I want you to tell me what your plan is."

Rogue smiled and used her index finger to push him away…all the way across the bed and onto the floor on the other side. "Ah thought ya knew Sean-ie?"

Sean grumbled and rose from the floor. "Sage has given us an idea of what your plan is. I want definite." Sean smiled lasciviously at her. "Unless you want to offer something else?"

Rogue felt the first surges of anger within her. She shoved them back down. Anger had no place in her right now. "Let's get one thing straight. Ya may look like mah husband, may talk like mah husband, ya may even be mah husband in another dimension…but ya are not mah husband. Despite that little encounter earlier, Ah am not ya wife. Mah husband died two and a half years ago. Nothin' will change that, and Ah have no interest in playing a substitute for ya dead wife."

Sean looked at her in shock. How does she know…

"What? Think Sage is the only telepath around here? Ah can see into minds too, and Ah saw into yours. True, we were married in ya timeline, but ya left me. When Ah moved on and married Remy, ya regretted leavin' me and started to try and get me back. Ya were still tryin' when Ah was killed by someone named Vargas. That's part of the reason ya here…ya're still tryin' to get me back." Rogue looked at him in sympathy. "Ya got to move on. Ah am not your Rogue, Ah am my Sean's."

Sean looked at her obstinately. "Won't stop me from trying."

Rogue sighed. "Just release the hold on the dimension. Please?"

Sean looked at her and felt part of the understanding she was trying to give him. This wasn't his Rogue, but he damn well still felt the love he had for his. He nodded and gestured to the small laptop computer on the dresser. Rogue hurried over and after a cursory glance undid the dimensional lock. Almost immediately a small tremor shook the school.

Rogue left without speaking to Sean again. Despite what she'd told him, he felt like her Sean. It was difficult to deal with him, seeing him and talking to him. Rogue steadied herself and continued back to Rogue's room. It probably would have been a good idea to remove themselves to their assigned room but this room felt like home.

Letting herself in, Rogue could see that, indeed, the two travelers had arrived. Rogue studied their faces and could see that they'd had a rough time. Other than that they looked fine though. She turned to John, who held her son in his arms. It had been six long months since she'd seen her baby. Rogue ran to him and scooped him out of John's arms. She held him above her head and laughed when he opened his eyes and smiled at her. Already more than two years old he had learned a couple of words while with Wanda.

"Mama!" Rogue almost dropped him in surprise.

"He can speak?"

Wanda smiled. "Yeah, and he's pretty darned smart too." Wanda turned to her husband, who had sustained a severe headache holding up the force field. She soothed him and used her gifts to relieve his pain.

Wanda turned back to Rogue who was now twirling around the room. "Mah baby is so smart. Oh, yes ya are, oh yes ya are!"

At the door there was a knock. Immediately everyone went silent, including the child. "Umm, Ms. Future Rogue?" Kitty called through the door. "The prof wants you to come down and, like, meet the new arrivals."

"That's alright. Ah've got a couple for him to meet too." Rogue handed her babe to John and instructed him to stay up there and out of sight. She didn't want anyone to see Elias.

Together, the trio of mutants (Rogue, Captain Britain, Scarlet Witch), headed downstairs. As they entered the front lobby all three were aware that unintentionally they'd made a grand entrance, what with the lobby full of mutants and them being the last to arrive.

"I see we have more guests?" The professor made it a question; though it was obvious he wasn't pleased.

"Yeah. Ah think y'all know the Scarlet Witch?" Wanda stepped forward in all her glory. She was wearing her usual uniform, red leather leotard, red cape and elbow length gloves, and a very slight pink (almost white) body suit underneath it all. She also had this sort of hair thing that was the same red as the rest and framed her face. It was definitely an improvement over her current uniform.

"And now y'all can meet her husband…Captain Britain." Brian stepped forward and clasped her hand. He could tell she was nervous. Wanda had a dislike for large groups of mutants…things were always unstable and unpredictable around them. Wanda liked to have a stable environment. Something to do with predictability. Next to Wanda, any mutant could easily feel less than, but only if that mutant wasn't Captain Britain. Dressed in a bodysuit of white (bottom) and red (top) of the same leather as Wanda's, along with a blue mask and boots, Brian was as formidable as his wife. On top of the blue mask was the flag of Britain, proudly displaying where his loyalties lie.

Gasps from most of the mutants were heard. Wanda married? Shocker. After all, you could barely get the girl to speak to anyone else, how on earth did she get married? In reality, Earth had nothing to do with it. Wanda and Brian had met on Otherworld (a pocket dimension in Rogue timeline). It was also the place where Brian was ruler, and the third world to be taken over by Apocalypse in their timeline. That was the reason Brian had agreed to break the law and go back in time, to save his realm.

"I see you still have surprises up your sleeves, Rogue. Why don't you meet some of mine?" The Professor called out, sweeping his hand to the small group of mutants behind him. "I'm sure you'll be surprised by who I've called."

Chica, would you believe it was a typo?
