X-Mansion

The team arrived home a short while ago from their mission against Magneto. It had been successful and they had stopped the master of magnetisms' plot, but at a cost. While Cyclops and the others were fighting the Acolytes, Rogue and Nightcrawler advanced on Magneto before he could activate his device. They were too late.

Magneto started his machine and aimed it at the two mutants before they could attack him. Nightcrawler had teleported out of the way as a beam was sent out. Instead, it struck Rogue and Gambit was who sneaking up behind her for an attack.

Once Magneto retreated with his team, the X-Men went to Rogue's side, but had not woken up yet. Wolverine ended up carrying her to the jet, where they alerted Hank that Rogue had been hurt on the mission.

Everyone stood outside the medical lab waiting to see what Hank had to say. The only ones that were allowed in the room were Kurt since he was her brother, Wolverine because he threatened the others, and Hank being the doctor. "Is she going to be okay? She took a nasty hit back there." Kitty asked the Professor, who was sitting with his students trying to keep them calm. He communicated with Hank telepathically for information on Rogue's wellbeing.

"I believe she will be fine, I don't think Magneto's blast did anything, but knock her unconscious." The Professor replied to the young worried girl.

"This is my fault, if I blasted the machine sooner, she wouldn't be in there." Scott began to blame himself. He was supposed to be their leader and make sure everyone got home safely and here he failed a teammate. Jean placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"It's not your fault, no one saw it coming." Jean tried to reassure him with a small smile. She then turned back to the Professor. "Do you know what the machine did, I remember Magneto saying he was going to be testing it out on the president." Jean told the Professor as she recalled Magneto bragging about his new invention. She sent the image into the Professor's mind so he could see what went on.

"I am afraid not. I will have to talk to her when she wakes up to make sure she is unfazed. Hopefully, it will not cause her any problems. Although with Magneto, one can never be sure what he is planning." The Professor told everyone waiting in the room.

Inside the Med Lab

"Are you sure she vill be fine?" Kurt asked Hank for the hundredth time. He sat by her side holding her gloved hand and waiting when she would wake up. He promised her silently that he would not leave her side and prayed to God that she would be fine. He adored Rogue and she was the only family that he could turn to.

"Her brain waves are normal, I have also run other tests and all of her vitals seem to be in order. I believe she only suffers from a bump on the head." Hank said to Kurt as he picked up a clipboard and began looking over Rogue's history. It didn't help much that she had kept secret about her past and what she did before, but they accepted her privacy. Xavier said that when she was ready to open up, they would be ready to listen.

Logan leaned against the wall watching Rogue. Only a few short hours ago he had brought the unconscious girl into the mansion and straight to the medical lab. As soon as the blast from Magneto's machine hit her, he stopped fighting and ran to her. The others had been holding off fairly well and the Acolytes soon gave up and ran when a member of their team went unconscious as well.

"I think she is vaking up." Kurt said as he looked over at Logan, who started to come forward. Kurt gazed back at his adopted sister and watched as she slowly opened her green eyes.

"Welcome back, stripes." Logan greeted her with a half smile, silently relieved she was alright. Rogue blinked a few times before she could see where she was. Her eyes went wide when she saw who was in front of her.

'Merde, what de hell am I doin' here?' That was the first thing Gambit thought as he looked up at the X-Men.

Magneto's Base

As soon as they had returned back to the base, Piotr dropped Gambit off in his room for him to recover. Magneto was furious that his plans had been spoiled by the X-Men and was taking it out on his Acolytes. He went on a rampage for fifteen minutes while his team sat there and pretended to listen like they normally did.

"Are you sure he'll be fine, mate?" John asked Piotr, who shrugged. They seemed to be the only two that cared what happened to their friend. Magneto was mad at Gambit and blamed him for interfering and Sabertooth could care less what happened to anyone.

"Magneto said there was no harm done and he should recover soon." The Russian told John. The two Acolytes went to Gambit's room after Magneto's temper tantrum and watched over their friend with worry. Although Magneto said that he would be fine, the two mutants weren't going to be satisfied until their friend was back to his normal flirtatious, annoying self.

"I told him to leave that girl alone, but he keeps on going after her. Maybe this will teach him to pay more attention instead of chasing after that shella." John said as he looked down at Remy's unconscious body, which began to stir. Remy's hand went up to his forehead and began to run a hand through his hair. He stopped as soon as he felt that something was off and his red on black eyes snapped open.

He looked around and saw John and Piotr standing above him, John with a smirk on his face. "Welcome back, mate, had us worried there for a sec." Pyro told him feeling more relieved.

"Where the hell am Ah? Why am Ah here?" Rogue began to say in Gambit's voice. 'They kidnapped meh.' Was the first thought that came to her as she sat up in Remy's body, not noticing it wasn't her own.

"We were in battle and then you fell unconscious so we brought you back." Piotr told him. 'Must of been knocked out good. Wonder if Magneto knows about these affects.' He thought to himself as Rogue backed away to the headboard of the bed. Things were going to be interesting around the base if Gambit didn't know who he was.

"Like Ah'm goin ta believe that, ya kidnapped meh." She accused them. John looked over at Piotr, who looked just as confused and worried.

"Ugh, no, you see you joined a team called the Acolytes which consist of yourself, the big tin man over there, the handsome devil talking to you, bucket head the leader, and the big stupid animal Sabertooth." John tried to explain, but from the look on Remy's face he wasn't buying it. John cursed Magneto knowing this was his fault. Now they were going to have to explain everything to Gambit.

"Ah never joined your team, Ah'm with the X-Men." Rogue said as she looked down to find her hands had fingerless gloves. 'What happened ta mah gloves?' She thought to herself, she then looked down to find herself wearing Gambit's leather duster. She felt herself go numb as she was beginning to realize she was no longer in her body. It was just processing the information that was the hardest.

"No, you never joined the X-Men, unless there is something ya want to tell us Remy." John began to say then. "Although I see how you look at the one with the skunk hair." He began to tease with a smirk across his face.

Rogue stared at John as if he was more nuts than she already thought. She swung her legs over the bed and looked across into a mirror that hung on the door to see her new reflection. "Ya gotta be kiddin' me." She whispered in horror before she passed out.
