Chapter 1
A screech echoed through the room causing Rouge to sit bolt upright in her bed. She looked around wildly expecting something to jump at her. Instead her eyes fell upon a blue crow sitting on the windowsill.
"Go away Mystique," said Rouge falling back on the pillows and closing her eyes.
But instead of leaving, the crow transformed into a blue woman.
"My child, why did you leave?" asked Mystique.
"Ah said go away," shouted Rouge, at her mother.
"Fine, if that's what you want. But one day I will get you back."
"That's debatable," commented Rouge.
An hour later someone rapped hard on Rouge's door. She climbed out of bed and answered it, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. It was Logan.
"The boss wants to see you. Then come down for breakfast, there might just be something left," he growled then walked away.
Rouge closed the door again and threw on some jeans; a dark green shirt and her black boots then ran out the door. 'Hey wait, Ah don't know where his office is.'
/I'll tell you/ said a voice in her head.
/Sure thing Professor X/ replied Rouge.
After a few missed turns and wrong door, Rouge reached the study and proceeded in.
"Ah yes, come in Rouge. How did you sleep? Well I hope."
"Ah guess. Listen Professor, thanks fuh lettin' meh stahy last nahght," answered Rouge.
"It was my pleasure. Now how may I help you?" he asked.
"Ah…ahh…was …um…wonderin' if Ah could… mahybe…join ya guys. Ya know be an x-man or woman in mah case," said Rouge, suddenly finding her knee very interesting.
"We would be delighted to have you join us," said the professor. "Come with me down to the dining room and I will introduce you to everyone. Maybe have Kurt show you around? I know he's your brother, so an old face might be nice, right?"
"Suhe" replied Rouge. Her insides were leaping for joy, she would get to see her baby brother again, but of course no one would ever see her jubilation.
A few moments later the duo walked into a large hall full of screaming and eating teenagers. Professor X. let out a loud cough. Nothing happened, the students just continued there breakfast. He tried again, still nothing. Finally he let out a shout of, "SHUT UP" and everything was silent.
"I'd like everyone…" the professor began but was interrupted
"ROUGE!" a blue student known as Kurt yelled. He jumped up and ran at her, throwing his arms around her. Kitty threw her a dirty look from the table. She didn't know they were siblings.
"Vhat are you doing here?" he asked.
"I was just to say that when I was rudely interrupted" professor said accusingly, shooting a malevolent look at Kurt.
"Um…Riiight," said Kurt slowly edging away from the pair, a look of fear in his eyes. He had never heard the professor say anything like that.
"As I was saying, Rouge has decided to join us and become an X-man," he finished. You could here crickets chirping, it was so silent. Then all at once the noise erupted once more.
Rouge looked around nervously. She having until just recently been the enemy, she didn't know anyone but her brother.
"Like Rouge, come sit like over here." Kitty said pointing to a seat in front of her and Kurt. Kurt had just informed her that they were related, easing her jealous rage.
Rouge walked over and plopped down in the cushioned chair. She looked at the pair who were currently gazing into each other's eyes romantically. The untouchable almost wretched, she never ever wanted to turn into them. 'Well it's not like it'll ever happen.' "Stupid powers" Rouge mumbled under her breath. Logan caught the end of it but wasn't sure what she said.
"What was that, Stripes?"
"Nothin' Logan."
Scott stood up a few minutes later and announced a danger session would begin in a couple of minutes and instructed everyone to "suit up" as he put it. Every one got up and proceeded to their rooms to change into their uniforms.
/Rouge you have been moved into another room. Your new roommate is Kitty Pryde, I'm sure you know here from school. Your bag has been moved there already. Kitty will show you where it is/
Kitty promptly appeared in front of her.
"Like I am so glad you're like my roommate. I've been begging X to give me one for like ever." The girl rambled.
She continued to talk a mile a minute leading Rouge to her new abode. 'This is gonna be a long lifetime' the girl inwardly cringed. She sighed and stopped as she stood in front a plain wooden door.
"Like here we are." Kitty announced to no one in-particular. She threw the door open and pranced inside.
It was a plain white room with two beds, two wardrobes and a single bathroom.
'This room has so much potential' Rouge couldn't wait until she could hang the walls with her posters and other memorabilia. On her bed Rouge noticed a black and green spandex-type uniform.
"Rouge, like hurry up. Scott'll like have a total cow if we're like not l down there in like two minutes,"
Rouge threw the uniform on and replaced her boots for black converse. The duo ran out of the room and raced to the danger room, only a minute late. Kitty was right, Scott wigged out on them for holding up the group.
