1Rogue was no longer at the mansion, she could tell by the overwhelming smell of brimstone and smoke surrounding her. He's got the same powers as Kurt, and even the same smell. Looking around Rogue found herself in a sitting room, a roaring fire in the hearth and a large Victorian chair with red velvet fabric.

"Tell me about Kurt." The man walked to the oak table close by, picking up a folder and made his way back to Rogue.

A look of pure horror crossed her face, not a another telepath, can't a girl get some privacy in her own mind?

"Excuse me?"

"I can probe your mind if you'd like but I can not guarantee you'll survive, or that I won't stumble onto something else." He then motioned for Rogue to sit and propped himself on the edge of a wooden desk Rogue had failed to notice before.

Rogue was uneasy, "What do you want with Kurt?"

"I want you to tell me everything about the Kurt you live with." He threw the folder in her lap and landed, opening up to Kurt's picture. Rogue didn't have to read the folder to know its contents. She had absorbed Kurt enough times for the truth to be revealed. She understood the circumstances and didn't think any less of Kurt. She also didn't appreciate demon men trying to threaten him with his dark secret

"No." The man threw his eyes at her in surprise.

"Care to run that by me again?"

"I said no. Kurt is no concern of yours. You need to give up on whatever evil scheme you have concerning him before you get seriously hurt."

A deep roaring laughter filled the room suddenly.

"I'm not kidding. If you try to hurt Kurt, the X-Men will defeat you."

"Oh my, I'm shaking with fright. Will you come after me with sticks and stones?" He hovered over her menacing, "or maybe, you'll absorb me."

Rogue locked eyes with the man, defiantly. He was either bluffing or he knew/had something she didn't know about. Knowing her luck he probably wasn't bluffing. It was better for your opponent to underestimate you, so Rogue decided to milk her roommate's influence for all it's worth."

"Like, I think you have me confused, with like Rogue. She has the ability to absorb people. I just go through walls and what not," Rogue inwardly cringed at thought she could actually pass as Kitty Pryde. Her roommate had convinced her two nights ago to color her white streaks to match the rest of her auburn hair. Rogue even let her go as far as put her hair up into Kitty's famous ponytail. So the two girls did in fact look like each other, to the point it was scary.

The man stood up, "Is that so?" He waved towards a doorway, saying something in French. In the next moment a dark silhouette form materialized itself seemingly out of thin air, but Rogue couldn't be so lucky.

"If you are indeed who you claim to be, you would have met this young man once your entire life. Ms Katherine Pryde I'd like to reintroduce you to your fiancé,"

Damn it Kitty why the hell didn't you tell me you were engaged! Kitty Pryde when I get out of this place, you're dead. D E A D, dead.

Rogue searched her mind frantically, flipping through Kitty's memories, hoping beyond hope she could get some information on her alleged "fiancé."

"Is it really you? After so long, my, time certainly has treated you just fine," Rogue flashed a smile as she silently prayed to the Powers That Be for a miracle of some sort.

You're not my Kitty, who are you and what the hell have you done with her?

Oh great, another freakin telepath.

Rogue could feel the two sets of eyes bore into her, clearly searching for something.

You're right I'm not Kitty, but at the moment I need to be. This guy is after my brother and I need your help to protect him.

Why should I help you? You who is impersonating my love?

Because Kitty knows you would. She knows you fight for the side of good. Well X-Men is as good as it gets.

The X-Men? You fight side by side with my Katherine? How can I be sure you're telling me the truth?

Because only her roommate would know of her secret love for the bagpipes, especially on rainy days.

Bagpipes! You really do know my Katherine

So are you going to help me?

Yes, yes. Of course, any friend of Katherine is certain alright in my book

What a relief.

"Don't be rude Katherine give your fiancé a kiss. After all you haven't seen him in, how long? Five years tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken."

AN End of Chapter in case you couldn't figure it out. Will Rogue get kissed? Will the evil man who looks like Kurt succeed in his diabolical plans. Will Kitty ever see her fiance again? Review and tell me what you think should happen.
