Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men Evo. If I did, it wouldn't have ended! LOL

A/N: Wow, I know it's taken awhile to update but I've been back in school for a little while so I needed to take time for that. I hope you like this newest chapter and please, review. Thanks!


Rogue sighed as she walked through the halls of school. Her bag was slung over her shoulder and she was keeping to herself, more than usual. She stared down towards the floor as she walked and refused to look around her. She didn't want to deal with anyone.

"Rogue! Hey Rogue!" Kurt said as he ran up towards her. Rogue turned her head as she rolled her eyes.

"Hey Kurt."

"Whoa. Is that any kind of greeting for your brother?" Rogue sighed, shaking her head.

"Look Kurt, I don't want to talk to anyone right now. I just want to be on my own." She sighed and looked away from him, "I want to just be able to go off and think to myself.

"That doesn't sound like you Rogue. You at least have time for your brother." He sighed, "What happened Rogue? You've been acting weird since Kitty told you that Pietro was missing." Kurt's eyes widened, "You're worried about that freak?" Rogue smirked.

"Kurt, he's not a freak. No more than any of us are…"

"What do you want to do with him? He's been nothing but an asshole to any of us. Besides that he's never once even gave an inkling that he cares about anyone but himself. Look at how he treats Wanda." Kurt accused. Rogue turned towards him.

"You don't know Pietro. It's just, different. And you forget Kurt that I was with the Brotherhood for a few months before I came to the X-Men. So if you'd just like to do me a favor and shut up. I'd appreciate it." Kurt raised a brow and looked towards her as Rogue started walking away.

"What the hell are you talking about Rogue?" He called after her. Rogue sighed and turned around.

"It means that I know more about Pietro Maximoff then you think I did." She walked back up to him, looking up at him, "He was there for me when I found out Mystique was our Mom. He was there for me before I left and betrayed the Brotherhood to come here to the X-Men."

"How could he be? He hates you." Rogue shook her head, looking down as her eyes slowly filled.

"No. He didn't hate me, he just thought I betrayed him and I did. But now, I'm not so sure. Now Kurt, just leave me alone okay?" She wiped her eyes, turning to rush towards the bathroom.

"Rogue."

"No Kurt. Just, let it go alright?" Kurt sighed, he reached out to touch her arm but Rogue quickly flinched away. Quickly she walked off, leaving Kurt all alone. When he looked up, she was already gone. He adjusted his bag and when he turned the frown on his face slowly disappeared as he saw Tabitha leaning up against his locker. He walked up towards her slowly, wrapping an arm around her as he kissed her cheek gently. She laughed a little.

"Hey Blue, what's bothering you?"

"Nothing." He said, burying his face in her shoulder. Tabitha wrapped an arm around him and pushed his head up so she looked into his eyes.

"I know something's wrong."

"It's just Rogue. That's it."

"Just Rogue? She's kinda your sister, so it's a little more important than that. C'mon, you know you can tell me anything." Kurt sighed.

"Something is going on between her and Pietro. And it's something that I don't think I'm going to like. She's actually like, crying over him." Tabitha raised a brow.

"Well that's been obvious for awhile now."

"What?"

"You mean you haven't seen them acting like another couple around school these days?" When Kurt shook his head Tabitha rolled her eyes, "Okay, I know you're not that dumb."

"What do you mean?"

"Pietro and Rogue are like another Lance and Kitty. They're trying to hide their emotions but the more they try they keep getting pushed together. Hopefully, she finally got the idea into her head that it's okay to be with him."

"Why would she ever think that it's okay to be with him?" Kurt growled. "He's nothing more than a loser. He's part of the Brotherhood. He's scum." Tabitha moved back a little, pushing Kurt's arms off of her.

"He's what?"

"He's scum, and doesn't deserve to be near my sister."

"Oh. So because Pietro is a part of the Brotherhood and he's Magneto's son he's scum and doesn't deserve to be near your sister?" Kurt rolled his eyes.

"That's what I said."

"So, since I was a part of the Brotherhood and my father convinced me to steal money from the fair, I must be scum too. Therefore, I don't deserve to be near you." Kurt's eyes widened as Tabitha glared up at him accusingly.

"Wai-" He stopped, "I didn't say that, exactly." Tabitha raised a brow and shook her head.

"No Kurt, that's exactly what you said." She sighed, "I can't believe you. You're being so," She growled under her breath, "So damn hypocritical!"

"Why am I the one being hypocritical? All I did was say that I didn't want my sister hanging out with that, that freak." He sighed and looked down. He'd done what he swore he never would. For years he'd been called a freak and for years it was torture. And now he'd gone and called someone else a freak.

"You see Kurt?" He sighed and nodded, looking down.

"I didn't mean it."

"I know."

"I've gotta talk to Rogue. She's got to be pissed." Tabitha smiled and hugged him tightly.

"Don't you think she's allowed to be?" Kurt nodded, "But give her time. That's all she needs is time."


Kitty waited anxiously as she sat on her bed by the phone. Lance had asked her if Pietro had been over recently and after she told him what happened between Rogue and Pietro, Lance had been surprised that none of the Brotherhood still hadn't heard a word from Pietro. Now, he was going back to the house and everywhere else trying to find Pietro and if he didn't, he was going to call her. Kitty didn't want him to call. Because honestly telling Rogue that Pietro might be missing, or in trouble, or even dead. She didn't want to think about it and she didn't even want to try to-

The phone rang.

"Hello?" Kitty said softly into the phone. She wasn't even sure that the person on the other end could hear her.

"Kitty?" Lance replied.

"Yeah, it's me Lance. Please tell me you're only calling to tell me you found him."

"Not exactly Pretty Kitty." Kitty took a deep breath.

"No Lance. Please."

"Kitty we can't find him." Lance said quietly.

"No Lance, I can't. You can't expect me to tell Rogue."

"Kitty, you're going to have to. I know that they're pissed off at one another but she deserves to know. She needs to know. Okay?" Kitty nodded but took a deep breath in as she looked down, knowing Lance couldn't see her moving her head.

"Okay."

"Let her know and I'll be there in a few minutes alright?"

"Okay Lance." Before either of them hung up, Kitty quickly cut in. "Lance?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you." She heard his slight laughter, knowing there was a smile on the other end of the phone.

"I love you too Pretty Kitty." She smiled a little and hung up the phone. Slowly she ran her hands along her face, shaking her head as she pulled her legs up.

"How am I supposed to tell Rogue that Pietro's missing?"

"What?" Rogue said as she walked into the room.
