IvyZoe- Thanks. I really appreciate it. You're right, Remy doesn't know what he wants. But he will have to figure it out. He can't have them both.

GOING ROGUE

She loved the freedom of the road. It helped her to free her mind. Anna did not care where she was going, as long as she was out of Louisiana. As she passed the 'Welcome to Mississippi' sign on the freeway she smiled. She was home, even though she no longer had one. She decided that she had a fresh start, a new life. Sure it wasn't under the best of circumstances or the fact that she has a deadly touch doesn't really help, but maybe she could make the best of this. A new life of her own choosing. No one to tell her what to do or how to do it. No guild, no momma, nothing.

It was pretty late, and she was getting tired for all the driving she did. She spotted a small motel that could do for the night. It was a little slummy, but nothing she couldn't handle. She decided a shower would do her some good, but when she was done, she found herself staring into the mirror. But the image wasn't of herself, it was Belle. Was she Belle? No Belle was in her home in some type of coma.

"What do ya want? Where are ya? Whay won't ya leave meh alone?"

"You don't deserve him. He loves me not ya."

"Leave meh alone!" she yelled clenching the sides of her head.

"I can't Anna. I'm stuck here. Better to torture you, non."

"Stuck? Stuck where?"

"Inside your mind Anna."

"Ah didn't mean-"

"Oui, ya did. You wanted ta kill me. Don't ya remember?"

"Yeah, but not everythin'. Ah don't know whay Ah wanted ta kill ya. Somethin' just snapped. Ah don't know." Then she doubled over in pain clutching her head. The pain passed as fast as it had came. When she looked back up at her reflection, it was her again.

"Maybeh Ah am goin' crazy." Then she stared at herself for a minute longer.

"The new meh, she needs a new look." She went for her bag and pulled out a knife and started chopping her hair off at the shoulders. But that didn't seem to be enough. She went through her bag some more and found her black skirt and tank top. She liked what she saw when she looked in the mirror.

"But Ah don't need ta kill nobody." She dug a little more and found a green, long-sleeved, see through shirt.

"This'll do." Then she stumbled onto a dark green, almost black panty-hose type stockings. She put everything on and then put her boots on and the gloves that she usually wears with her uniform. She put some make-up on and whatever other accessories she could find, grabbed the keys and walked out of the door.

"Ah need a night out. Have a lil fun." She hoped into the car and went looking for a club or something that she could sneak into.

NEW YORK...

'X-men meet me in the war room.' Professor Xavier telepathically called out to his students known as the X-men. When everyone had gathered, Scott was the first to speak up.

"What's going on Professor?"

"With Cerebro's help, I have detected a new mutant in Mississippi. I cannot get a very good read on her, she is very confused, but it is very likely that she is a danger to herself as well as to others. She seems to be running from something. Suit up and head to the Blackbird. Once you are there I will give you the coordinates. But hurry, there is no time to waste."

"Yes sir." Scott said and then headed out followed closely by the others.

THIEVES GUILD...

A long, black stretch limo pulled up followed closely by a green jeep. Jean-Luc had seen this coming, since he and the guild were not fully able to protect Anna. Mystique stepped out and walked towards him near the door, with four boys standing behind her.

"Where is she?"

"We don't know, but we do know dat she stole a car."

"Whose car?"

"De girl she kill, dat assassin Belladonna."

"Why didn't you protect her?"

"We did not know de extent of her power nor when it decide ta show up. She chose to fight. Seemed lil on edge dough."

"What do you mean, on edge?"

"Emotional, very angry. She left a trail of dead assassins where ever she go." Mystique smiled knowingly. Then stepped closer.

"You broke our agreement."

"Non, we did what we could. We still lookin' fer her." She laughed.

"You know nothing about her, nor do you care, except for her power."

"Dat true fer you too."

"Perhaps. You said she killed some girl. What makes that so special?"

"Oui, 'cause she kill her wit a touch of her skin. Her smile broadened evilly.

"Still, you broke our agreement. Do you really believe that I should let this go so easily?"

"Oui." She turned and walked back to the limousine, but before she sat inside and closed the door she turned towards the boys and said, "Avalanche, take the boys and have a little bit of fun, won't you."
