sorry.)
Chapter 3
"Students it seems Mystique is back. And she is coming for something, we are not yet sure what she wants but she is coming to the mansion. That is all I have to say." The Professor said with a grave face. The student began to file out, but they all had one question in their heads, 'What about Danger Room sessions?' "Aw yes, I almost forgot, due to this unexpected event there will be no sessions until we have figured out what Mystique wants. Rogue, please stay awhile, I need to speak with you." Rogue quirked an eyebrow like she always did, but then told Remy to go ahead without her.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Rogue, I should have told you before, but you were so young and it never seemed a factor but now you must know. Mystique is your adoptive mother and you have a brother, Kurt. We, as in all the teachers, believe that Mystique is trying to get back her children, who were taken from her long ago. Except for you of course who ran away, for fear you would hurt someone. I'm sorry but you won't be able to leave the mansion until Mystique arrives or she might kidnap you and we don't want that to happen. You understand all this, don't you?"
"Yes, Professor, I understand, I don't like it, but I understand. Rogue turned to leave she just needn't a minute to think. When a thought occurred to her, she spun around to face the Professor. "But Professor what about the dance on Saturday?"
"Again I'm sorry, Rogue, you won't be able to attend." Xavier lowered his head with the sincerest apologies. "Oh." Rogue said absent mindedly. As she walked to the door, she thought of how her plans were ruined, because at the dance she was going to tell Remy how she felt about him. Coincidently, Remy had been waiting outside the entire time and heard the whole thing.
"I'm sorry Rogue, I know how much you wanted to go." The soothing voice of Remy filled Rogue's ears. Rogue leaned onto Remy, like she had done before if she ever felt down. Rogue faked a laugh and added; "Now you don't have anybody to go with." Remy smiled.
"Who said I was going without you?" Rogue turned around.
"But you have to go, I don't want you to miss out on all the fun just cause I won't be there."
"Haha. Rogue your hilarious YOU'RE what makes it fun." Remy laughed. Rogue blushed but made sure to hide it from him, or he would tease her about it for days. "Come on Rogue, time for breakfast." They both walked down to breakfast, smiling and telling each other what they would do on Saturday.
"How bout we put blue hair dye in Jean's shampoo?" Rogue joked.
"Do we have to ruin the fille's beautiful hair?" Remy asked. Rogue laughed, "You so, like her, don't you?" Remy tried to hide his feelings behind his usual mask of boredom, but Rogue read him like a book.
"I DO NOT." Remy shouted.
"No need to PMS, I was just asking a question," Rogue laughed at his face, it looked like a mix between the feelings of embarrassment and his normally blank face.
"So I know you like Scott." Rogue snorted, "Haha. Are you kiddin? Me, like Mr. I-have-a-stick-up-my-butt? I don't think so." Rogue laughed again. By this time the two had come to the top of the stairs, everyone down the stairs had stopped talking. They all liked the way Rogue laughed, it sounded like the twinkling of bells but not so high. However, Remy was the only one who seemed to make her laugh.
"They look, like, so cute together and they don't even, like, know that they like each other," Kitty whispered to Jean. They both laughed as the joking teens walked down the stairs together. "They are, like, going to look so, like, cute at the dance." Kitty giggled.
At the Professor's office
"What do you think Xavier? Mystique is closing in fast and we still don't know if she'll bring the Brotherhood into this." Ororo asked.
"Well, Ororo, we just have to expect the worst and if that doesn't come then we go with what happens as it does. I know, I don't sound like myself, and I'm not Mystique but, Mystique has changed over the years, and has grown more unpredictable."
"I understand, Xavier. Well, we should still watch over the girl, she has no one but Remy. They have grown extremely close, and I do believe Remy will do anything to keep her safe. And you said he heard everything? Can't that be a hazard for him to know?"
"No, Ororo. I told him to stay for that exact purpose. He is the only who will always be by her side, who will always have tabs on her. We don't have that type of information. We just have to trust that Mystique doesn't do anything suicidal." The Professor said grimly.
Saturday Night
"Bye Kitty, have fun," Rogue said kindly. The crowd of student flooded out of the building to the garage where everyone was getting a ride or driving to the school dance. Rogue looked down for a second when all of a sudden voice came to her ear.
"Don't feel so sad, that you are stuck in a huge mansion with Remy all to yourself." Rogue turned, laughed and punched Remy lightly in the shoulder, "Don't scare me like that."
"You know, Ororo is makin a nice lil' dinner just for you, but I'm thinkin that I want it all for myself." Remy said smiling. Rogue grinned up at him, "Not if I beat you to it." She ran off toward to kitchen, Remy close behind, when all of a sudden Rogue felt fingers poke her in the sides. "Ouuu. HEY!!! That's cheating."
"Sorry chere, I forgot to tell you the rules." Remy said laughing.
"Oh, no you didn't. You want to play like that, fine then." Instead of running to the stairs she zoomed passed Remy using Pietro's powers that she had acquired over the years.
"Hey, Rogue. That really is cheating." Remy said frantically trying to catch up with her. Rogue laughed the entire time, and when she finally came to the kitchen she sat down, with her stomach hurting she was laughing so hard. Ororo smiled, 'The child looks so beautiful when she smiles, if only she smiled more often.' Remy finally made it into the kitchen, and he did not seem pleased at all. However Rogue, just laughed and laughed.
"Well, bout time ya got here. Haha." Rogue said laughing after the sentence. Remy huffed and sat down next to her and began to eat his food until he calmed down from the horrible defeat. Rogue followed suit still laughing inside her head. She was also contemplating how she would tell Remy how she felt. She thought first they'd watch a movie and ask lots of questions and lean in every time she asked one. She saw Jean do it all the time, how hard can it be? Remy was thinking about how he would tell her he liked her. And as far as he knew he was clueless. Well, dinner had gone on like this, in silence, when all of a sudden Ororo got up and quickly cleared what she was eating and briskly walked up to the stairs. The two kids got curious and followed her to the Professors door. They listened at the door, when they suddenly heard a feminine voice that was not Storm's voice.
In the Office
"I thought I told you to bring up Rogue, not her?" Mystique said, jabbing the gun at the Professor's head, "Now call her, or you die." Rogue rushed into the room, before Mystique did anything crazy.
"Now, here are my terms, Rogue comes with me, and I let the Professor live. I'm going to make the decision Rogue's." Mystique said while looking at her daughter. Rogue stared at this woman with such hatred that building began to shake, because Rogue had still not yet learned to control Lance's powers. Mystique still held steady, she was not going to back down. Rogue finally calmed down enough to not take the building down.
"Alright, I'll go with you."
"NO!!! You can't go without me." Remy yelled running into the room.
"Who is this?" Mystique said placing a questioning look on Remy.
"It doesn't matter you can't take her." Remy said while giving Mystique a glare that made his demon eyes glow a furious red. Mystique was about to say something when, suddenly some of the books on the shelves began to glow a bright red.
"What's going on here, Xavier?" 'Remy please calm down, this was Rogue's choice to make.' Remy did calm down but not before running to Rogue, and whispered in her ear.
"Come on Rogue you can stop her use your powers, you can still stay. You can still stay with me." A single tear ran down her face, as she projected with Jean's power, 'I'm sorry Remy, but is what is supposed to happen, I remember seeing it when I was little. I have to go.' Remy looked down and suddenly kissed her and collapsed. One thought ran through Rogue's hand like a lightening, 'I love you.' However, she didn't react fast enough something grabbed her from behind and the Professor's office was gone and in its place was an elegant room. Rogue looked around the room.
"Take this, it will help with your headache." A thick German accented voice came to her ears.
"Where am I?" Rogue asked but still taking the drink.
"She'll answer your question later, but first you need a shot. There are a few diseases around here you wouldn't want to get." Rogue found that was a reasonable excuse but still didn't believe it. The blue boy with the German accent took her to a room much like the Professor's office.
"Welcome Rogue. I know I may seem like an evil woman by now but I really just wanted have a family again." Mystique looked at Rogue with the most sincere look she could muster. "Do you remember Irene? Well, I had to leave you with her, and it surprised me that you left her. Why did you?"
"I left because I almost killed Cody." Rogue glared, she had remembered Irene and hoped to forget that life forever, it was a mistake to absorb Irene but she didn't know that then.
"So you do remember, well I think this is fine then. We can have the life we always wanted." Mystique smiled genuinely.
"You mean the life you've always wanted; I had the life I wanted." Rogue spat at Mystique. Mystique ignored it and gestured for Kurt, the blue boy, to give Rogue the shot. Rogue yelped but the pain soon dimmed.
"This won't hurt you Rogue, just merely make you happy. You're going to live here whether you like it or not..." Mystique voice faded as Rogue fainted.
4 years later
'It's sooo cold. Why didn't I just plan to run during the summer? Heck, why didn't I plan at all?' Rogue shivered in the snow. She had nothing but the clothes on her back and the psyches in her head.
'Go this way then down the street till you come to a gate.' Rogue obeyed the voice that had lead her this far. It was a high pitched voiced and one that sounded happy, so Rogue figured it couldn't be her voice. She had so many voices in her head that she couldn't remember many she had. Mystique had made her do so many terrible things, and she didn't even know of some things she did until the next morning she was speaking in her mind to a new friend; her only solace. When Rogue finally came to the gate she stopped.
'I remember this I lived here once...or maybe one of you did. I'm not sure but it is definitely familiar.' Rogue walked up to the gate, only to have it open as she walked up to it. She continued walking down the driveway till she came to the door. Rogue knocked on it cautiously. She heard a girl scream and a something crashed, and by that time Rogue was very curious as to what was inside. A girl about her age answered the door; at first glance hundreds of voices in her head screamed her name 'Kitty.' The girl seemed surprised that Rogue was here, but Rogue thought nothing of it and was getting ready to ask to see the famous Professor Xavier, her psyches had been telling her about. When suddenly the girl charged forward, "ROGUE YOU'RE BACK!!!!"
