Chapter 10: (yeah!) Spies and Questions

"All residents please report to the meeting area immediately." Said a computerized voice coming from the intercoms.

Rogue stood up raising an eyebrow. What was going on?

"Rogue onde está você que vai nós não somos feitos com o jogo." Adao protested gesturing down at the chess game Rogue had been trying to teach him to play.

"Por que você não vem longitudinalmente mel?" Rogue asked "Nós podemos jogar o jogo mais tarde."

"Realmente? Eu posso vir com?" He said eyes widening.

"Sim se você se apressar" She said smiling at him sweetly.

He jumped from where he was sitting and pulled Rogue out the door and to the left.

"Não essa maneira silly esta maneira." She said giving him a gentle tug to the right. She led the eager child to the large meeting hall where there was already quite a few people there. Almost everyone that worked there was there and quite a few people that didn't. They must be the volunteers, she thought. Hack's face appeared on the monitor. She looked very distracted and serious. Which scared Rogue even more because Hack was never serious.

"Quiet down and listen up everyone." Her voice strained through the noise and every one quieted. "We have a situation on our hands. I need all Squad members and X men too join in the planning room. The rest will be staying In this hall under lockdown."

Shock spread through the hall. This had never happened before. Rogue gave Adao's hand a squeeze and said "Adao I tem que sair para discutir coisas com as outras crescidas levanta-o tem que permanecer aqui neste quarto porque é seguro aqui."

"mas por que?"

"por favor eu não posso explicar agora mas eu começar-lhe-ei para trás assim que eu puder. Satisfaça assim não fazem um problema"

He sighed. "toda para a direita."

Rogue smiled, then called over to Derk otherwise known as Translator, a mutant that could understand any language and communicate in it. He was about 34 with brown hair and a short beard. He had a chubby face that always seemed to hold a grin. He was the jokester of a bunch of scientists. Not a good mix. "Yo. Derk Ah need yah to keep the kid company till Ah get back!"

"On one condition yeh tell me what the hell's goin' on up with Hack kay?"

"Whatever but if yeh ditch the kid Yah ass is mine."

He gave her an impish grin and answered. "I thought it already was."

She just rolled her eyes and turned back to Adao "Estada com Derk eu estarei para trás e sentirei livre dizer nele se fizer algo estúpido."

"Oí eso." He said jogging over.

Adao grinned. "será meu prazer. Este deve ser divertimento."

This time it was Derk that was the one that rolled his eyes. "Respeite suas pessoas idosas."

"Adeus." Rogue stated and ran off in the directions of the planning room.

She arrived there just as the last of the X men were entering. That asshole Cajun, being one of them. He grinned and held the door for her. She rolled her eyes and walked through she didn't have time for him right now. She crossed over to Garret's side.

"What's goin' ahn we've neveh had a full lockdown befoh?" She asked trying to stay calm.

He glanced at her and said "I know as much as you, I didn't call for a full lockdown."

Hacks face appeared on the screen above and every one quieted immediately. "I'm sorry to have startled you like this but something has happened. Just a few minutes ago I intercepted a call from inside this building, a call to outside these walls but that isn't the problem. The problem is that the person that made that phone call was giving information to an outside source. The voice was scratched and I couldn't make out the voice but I sure as hell could make out the words."

She tapped some thing onto her large console. There was a low strange sounding voice that came from the screen speakers. They couldn't make its out.

"They used a voice scrambler. But if I rewire the sound waves you get this."

"They don't suspect a thing. Though we may have to take care of that Hack girl but we need a location and no one has one. They haven't any leads, it's doubtful they'll find you but I'll keep them off your tail if they get a lead and don't worry they'll never know who it is. Over and out."

A hush fell upon everyone as they glanced around the room.

"I checked the camera's and I came up with a list of people I found using the phone of course the camera's don't stretch every where it's possible for a person to get out of the camera's view but doubtful. Garret, Xa, Rogue, Remy, Colossus, and Blob were all using phones in that time period." Hack glared at them. "There's a lot of other people on the list but I need an alibi from you people."

Wait Remy was on da phone but Remy doesn't remember bein' on the phone. How-

She turned to Garret. He narrowed his eyes. "Your accusing me I'm the group leader how dare-"

"Alibi." She snapped.

He glared at her. "Well if you must know my aunt passed away, and my mother used my emergency beeper to get me to call her."

Hack nodded. Then turned to Xa who was looking around staring as if there was something on the wall. "Xa."

"Have you ever wondered what it would be like if guns were never made you know like… Why are humans so greedy they take and take and soon every thing will be gone."

"Xa I need a strait answer from you. What is your alibi?"

"Alibi?"

"Why were you on the phone?"

"Oh that." She gave them a kind of spacey look. "I was just talking to Garret's aunt the one who was supposed to be dead. She said she was going to the dentist and to tell Garret to call her on her cell. But that's strange because I didn't know that she knew the number to the base. But I guess she does." Xa clapped her hands together loudly, and then went looking on the floor for something.

"WHAT were you doing talking to my aunt!" Garret cried.

"Oh she called so I decided it would be rude not to answer was she dead then or did she die afterwards?" She said inspecting an invisible piece of lint she found on the floor.

"I-I-I…" Now every one was looking at red faced Garret. "I…okay I was-"No one could hear the rest.

"What, speak up!" Hack said very agitated.

"I-I-I was talking to my little cousin about private things." He said a little flustered.

Hack looked at him strangely. "Your cousin will confirm this."

"Yes" he said confidently.

"What's her phone number?"

"I don't know where she's staying otherwise I would have picked her up by now she called from a pay phone." Hack raised an eyebrow. His head dropped and his hair fell over his eyes shadowing his face. "I-I'll tell you the other details in private later."

Hack still eyed him suspiciously but then nodded and turned to Rogue. "Alibi?"

Rogue nodded. "I was talking to Betsy and told her all that was happening. She said she's arriving in a few days after she makes sure all is settled up north."

Hack mouth dropped same with Garret's they closed them quickly but Rogue still saw it. Strange.

"Did she say anything when you told her about the X-men?" Hack asked calmly a little too calmly.

Then it was back again, everything phased out off focus and something new came into the picture.

"Where's your allegiance, kid? Us or them?" The voice came from a man in a yellow and black suit with a mask covering half his face.

Rogue shivered she was suddenly cold and wet. Her mouth opened and words came pouring out words she didn't know.

"If I don't say you, will I get thrown off this jet?"

The man shook his head. "Nope, not our style." We've either earned your trust by now or we haven't."

Again her mouth opened against her will but this time only one word slipped through.

"You."

He smiled and held out his hand. "Welcome to the X-Men."

She seemed to fall and she landed back into her body with a crash. "What the-."

"Rogue what happened?" Garret asked rushing to her side.

"Nothin' I just-." That voice was so familiar yet she couldn't place it. "Ah just had a slight dizzy spell Ah'm fahne"

"Um Betsy didn't say any thang whah should sheh?"

"Nothing it's just-…nothing." Hack said brushing it off. "So Remy you have an alibi?"

"I tink yeh made a mistake about ole Remy he hasn't touched no phone since he got here."

Hack's eyes narrowed in annoyance. "I don't make mistakes. Alibi!"

"Remy!" Then a memory hit him he had been calling that hot girl's phone number the blond one from the bar. "Ahhh…. Now Remy remembeh he be talkin' to a young femme. Lindsy tink name was."

Hack rolled her eye's then turned them onto Fred. "Alibi?"

"Ah-AH was…" He blushed. "I was talkin' to mah mah grams."

"What-." Lance said nearly chocking on the coffee he had been drinking.

"MAH GRANDMA OK!" Blob yelled his face turning Magenta.

"No need to yell I heard." Hack said taking of her mike/headphones and rubbing her ear. "Ooow."

"Well I suppose these will be substantial enough." She said putting her headphone back on. "but I will be checking them heavily." She said precisely. "and I guarantee you I will find the one that did this."

"You may leave. Garret stay and give me the 'details'" They slowly started to file out with questions on their minds.

Remy's mind- God for the life of meh Remy can't remebeh dat fille's name.

Scott's mind- I bet it was Garret He's the spy why else would he stay to 'talk' with Hack?

Xavier's mind- That was strange I got this vibe off Rogue, I wonder what is wrong? I'll ask.

Lance's mind- Blob has a grandma?

Todd's mind- BLOB HAS A GRANDMA?

Rogue pulled Mirage aside. "Mirage can Ah ask yeh somethin'?"

"Yeh just did."

"Oh stop Ah hate it when people do that."

Mirage just grinned tucking a loose braid behind her ears. "sure."

"Ah know this is goin' tah sound dumb and all but was Ah eveh part of the X men?"

Mirage paled. "N-no why do ask, did some one say something to you."

"Nah," Rogue shook her head making her braids fall onto her face. "Ah just it's notin'."

"No tell me." Mirage persisted.

"Ah…well it's that everyone in the X men has just been actin' strange aroun' meh."

"Really…" Mirage looked down on the ground lost in thought.

"Yeh don' have tah worry bought it. Come with meh to go and talk tah Adoa ." Rogue said with a smile and clasped her arm leading towards the hallway she came before.

"Wait child!" A knew voice broke into our conversation.

They turned to find Professor Xavier wheeling down the hall towards them.

"Yes?" Mirage said with a slight edge on it. Rogue glanced at her then back at Xavier who was looking at Mirage with an eyebrow raised.

Rogue knew that they must be having a psychic conversation so she pushed a little with her telekinesis's she had gotten from Betsy.

I guarantee you none of my student's have told her anything and I will not.

You better not because I'm not the only one who will fight for her and with Black Flame and Betsy it's guaranteed to be a bloody battle. Watch out when Betsy gets back you're in for an earful.

Thank you for the information I will heed it wisely.

"Rogue I was just wondering if you are all right. That was quite the 'dizzy spell'." Rogue was startled when he spoke but hid it quickly.

"It's fahne realeh but thanks for yah concern."

"Your very welcome." She looked in his eyes and felt safe in them. They seemed so fatherly yet sad. "feel free to talk too me if you wish my ears are always open and my mouth stays shut."

Rogue smiled. "Thank you. But yah'all don't need meh on yeh hands yeh got so many already. Ah admire yeh. Sometimes Ah wondeh how yeh can sleep at night now'en that yeh responsible for so many."

Xavier's eye's saddened suddenly and he wiped away a tear that fell. "It's hard especially if your student gets hurt. You feel guilty, oh so guilty."

She just wanted to envelope him in a hug she felt so bad, and her giving out hugs to others wasn't somethan' she normally thought of. Well she did with the kids but they were different. She was tempted to hug him but something held her back and it wasn't just the psychic conversation.

"Professor, could Ah ask yeh a question?" She said looking into his eyes.

He gave a small smile and nodded.

"Why do yeh X men act all strange around meh?"

He raised both his eyebrows in surprise. "Well, you look a lot like someone that was on the X-men a long time ago."

"Really? And Ah thought Ah was one of a kind" she said gesturing at her bangs. "What happened teh her?"

She saw the professor pause. "If yeh don't wanna answer that's fine."

"No.." He said shaking his head wiping a few tears away. "It is just hard… Her power destroyed her killing her. We miss her very much."

Rogue mouth formed a oh and then a feeling came upon her. Screams, uncontrollable power, sorrow and incredible pain. She was drowning in emotions that she had never felt, memories that weren't hers. It was terrible and yet so familiar she let out a gasp.

Her companions looked at her worry in their eyes. "Ah'm fahne ah just…think Ah need a rest."

They nodded but they still seemed worried. "Ah promised Adao that Ah'd see him and promised Derk Ah'd take the kid off his hands. So see yeh around."

She took off to the left. Mirage stayed talking to Xavier. Rogue used Gravitate's power to slowly make her way to the ceiling then crawled back in the direction of Xavier and Mirage. She used Mirage's own power to conceal herself on the ceiling. She crawled close enough for her to hear and strengthened her mind block.

"You shouldn't have told her that much she might get suspicious." Mirage said in a annoyed voice.

"She won't find out." Xavier said calmly.

"Let's hope not." Mirage said and slowly walked away.

When she was gone, a tear dripped from his cheek and he said in a whisper that Rogue could barely hear. "You were the only student I couldn't help, I'm so sorry. We miss you. You seem so close yet so far away. But if you knew what we did would you ever have the heart to forgive us."

He brushed the tear away and wheeled away.

Rogue sighed. Wow that student must have meant a lot to them, to him.

She jumped down. All of this answered some of her questions. But in turn it grew new ones. What were Mirage and Xavier talking about? What didn't the MPRS want me to know?

She messaged her temples and groined. Adao! I almost forgot about him. Well, those stupid secrets will have to wait to be exploited. But she had to figure it out.

She just had to.

Some how she had a feeling they would change her life.

She brushed off the feeling. What am I? A fortuneteller… Sheesh yeh getting all soap operish on yehself.

Translations- I know this is kind of annoying but it going right after a sentence looks stupid, oh and I go these off a translating web site so don't be offended if it's wrong.

Rogue where are you going we are not done with the game.

Why do you not come along honey?

We can play the game later

Really? You mean I can come too?

Yes if you hurry

Not that way silly this way

Adao I have to leave to discuss things with other grown ups. You have to stay here in this room because it's safe here.

But why?

Please I can not explain now but I will get back to you as soon as I can. So please do not make a problem

All right

Stay with Derk I will be back and feel free to tell on him if he does something stupid
