Chapter 2 Welcome Home

After Rogue had gotten back from the park she had done more lifting, the others weren't back and she didn't care. All Rogue ever wanted to do was be "Normal" But she had no clue as to what it meant to be normal. Was it that bad to not be a talkative person? Or to not come out of your room. She pondered these thoughts as she put down the bar bell and walked up to her room. It was starting to get dark, and Rogue sat in her bed as she began to read.

Party

The others had been sitting at a table with sodas in their hand, "I wonder if I was to hard on Rogue?" Kitty said.

"I'm sure she knows you didn't mean it" Said Jean. "Well if that's the case then why do I feel so crummy?" Kitty asked.

"Look why don't you talk to her tomorrow" Kurt suggested. Kitty nodded her head, "We'd better get back or Logan will freak" Said Scott.

He got into his car and they drove off, it wasn't a long drive back so they arrived quickly and got out. Without saying anything else they all went to their bedrooms and went to sleep. Rogue waited for a while until she was certain every one was asleep, then she packed her clothes and put them in a bag. She didn't want to leave but also felt as if she didn't belong again.

She went to her window and threw her bag out, then she jumped out the window grabbed her bag and ran off. She could feel a tear running down her face but ignored it as she stepped up to a door and knocked. "I knew you would come, but I didn't expect you so early, come on in" Lance said.

Rogue sat down, "Welcome to our home" Fred Said. "Yeah, whatever" Rogue said. "I know what she said was wrong" Said Lance. He put his hand on Rogue's shoulder, she moved away. "Look ah know your just trying to help but ah think ah need to be alone for a while." Rogue said.

"Want a drink?" Toad asked. "Sure what do ya got?" Rogue asked.

"Are you crazy? You actually think she wants a beer you dunce?" Pedro said smacking Toad upside the head.

"That sounds fine to me" Rogue said. Lance threw Rogue a drink as she opened it, "Your room is upstairs the last one on the left" Said Fred.

Rogue went upstairs and shut her door, she laid on her bed and began to cry she finally cried herself to sleep.

Rogue woke up and went down stairs to see Wanda sitting on the couch, "Wanda!" Rogue said surprised.

"When I heard you joined us I came back" Said Wanda. "Why?" Rogue asked.

"Were going to fight the X- Losers! And Wanda is going to help you crush them" Lance said.

Sure Rogue was mad, but hurting them? She almost didn't want to, but she then shook her head as they all ran out the door.

Institution

Everyone was downstairs eating breakfast they were unaware that Rogue was gone, so they thought she was still asleep. "Kitty, why don't you got talk to Rogue?" Jean asked. "Ok, I just hope she will forgive me" Said Kitty. "I'm sure she will" Kurt added.

Kitty walked up the stairs and knocked on Rogue's door, "Rogue?" Kitty said. There was no answer. "Look Rogue I need to talk to you" Said Kitty as she knocked again. There was still no answer.

"Rogue?" Kitty said again. There was no answer so Kitty did the only thing she could do and phased through Rogue's door.

Kitty ran downstairs, "You guy's Rogue is gone!" Kitty shouted. "What!" Logan said sternly. The alarm went off and Xavier told them to get down town immediately, they all hopped out of the X-jet. "Well, well, well if it ain't the X-losers!" Lance said. Fred began laughing. "Let's bash in their skulls!" Toad yelled.

Scott hit Lance with his laser beam, as Lance flew back then everyone gasped as Rogue came forward.

"Rogue! Your okay!" Kitty shouted. She ran towards Rogue, but Rogue lifted up her hands and used her power to throw Kitty. "Hey!" Jean yelled.

"Stripes! What's gotten into you!" Logan shouted. "Someone who will never criticize me about who I am and what I do!" Rogue shouted as she and Wanda attacked them. They all stood in a defensive position ready for the fight that was about to begin and unsure if they were going to win.
