I am so sorry, I didn't realize that I put "Rogue dies" for the next chapter part. I meant to write something else, she does NOT die in this chapter. Besides, if I was gonna kill a character, I would never say who it was, until they died, it ruins the suspense if ya know who's gonna die. Well hope ya enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: I own nothing, I wish I owned X-Men, but I don't see it happening in this lifetime or the next.

Hank yawned as he awoke from the 'nap' he had taken in the cap. 'Oh dear, we should be there by now.' He thought to himself as he sat up. He realized then that he was sitting in a small room with no furniture or anything else in it. It was painted green all around and had grey carpet.

"Where am I?" Beast whispered to himself as he stood up. A window at the corner of the room told him it was still day outside, but he began to wonder if it was the same day he had left. He saw a door that lead to the outside and began to walk to it.

Before he could reach the door, two strangers emerged from the back room. "Good, I see you are awake." A male voice said. The man was wearing a green cloak that hid his face stood in front of another, who was wearing a silver mask that covered his entire face, minus his eyes and wore a silver uniform and cape.

"Who are you?" Hank demanded to know as he backed away to the door.

"You shall know soon enough. I had you sent here so I could free you from yourself." The hooded man told him.

"What are you talking about?" Hank growled. It suddenly dawned on him that there was no convention; the whole thing was a trap.

"This is not the real you. Inside you is a creature that wants to be released, but you won't let it." The hooded man began to creep closer to him.

"I am sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about. I shall be on my way." Beast quickly turned and ran to the door; before he could open it, he was stopped in midair.

"Your not going anywhere, fur ball." The man in silver laughed at him.

"Hold him, Stryfe, while I free his mind." The hooded man commanded. He walked up to Hank and placed his right hand on the blue mutant's forehead. He began to chant in a language that Beast had never heard before. He had taken a class in Latin and knew this was not the same. The only thing that it reminded him of was Egyptian.

A sudden sharp pain went through Hank's head and he began to scream. He wanted to desperately to hold his head and fall onto the ground, but the other man didn't let him. A few seconds later, he felt something ripped out of his body and the man holding him up with telekinesis dropped him to the floor.

Hank tried to sit up, but his entire body felt weak. He opened his eyes to see a creature that looked identical to him, except that the fur was darker blue. It turned around and glared down at him and let out a low growl. The creature bent down and was about to take a swing at him when the hooded man stopped him.

"Stop. We may need him for later." Mesmero commanded to him as he pulled down his hood. "Your orders are to go to the X-Men's mansion and keep an eye on them. When the time comes, you will know what to do, Dark Beast."

"I'm not going to take any orders from you." Dark Beast growled as he stood up.

"No, but you will take orders from Apocalypse. He knows of these X-Men and wants to make sure they won't get in his way when he is released. Now, unless you want to argue with him and die, you do as Mesmero says." Stryfe told Dark Beast.

Dark Beast nodded at Stryfe. He was handed a communicator before he left for the door. "And remember, you must return to the mansion in two days; that is when real Hank McCoy is supposed to return." Mesmero said to him.

"Stupid animal, I don't know why Apocalypse wants him on his side. He is useless and will become useless." Stryfe folded his arms over his chest.

"If the master wants him, he shall get him. He wants to be sure that he can take over this world with no problems." Mesmero told him as he bent down next to Beast and placed his hand on his head. Immediately, Beast fell asleep.

"He won't be having any problems, reason why he sent me here." A cruel smile spread across Stryfe's lips. "This world will be taken over in less than a month. I so can't wait until that happens."

"Yes, as for now, Legion will have his fun with the X-Men. Hopefully, he won't kill the ones we will need for Apocalypse's horsemen." Mesmero mused to himself.

X-Mansion-Kitchen

Bobby and Lorna sat in the kitchen eating their breakfast with pleasant looks on their face. "I think that went well, don't you agree?" Lorna asked him as she sipped her coffee.

"I can't wait to see their faces. This will teach them to cover my girlfriend in honey and feathers." Bobby chuckled as he ate some more cereal.

"If they know what is good for them, they'll give up." Lorna smirked as she placed her coffee down on the counter. John and Wanda entered the kitchen. Both of them did not look happy.

"Hey guys, enjoy your showers?" Bobby asked his friends in a cheerful voice. Wanda glared at him. She was resisting the urge to hex him across the room and into the stove.

"You're going to pay." John growled at Bobby and Lorna. They didn't hear Kitty and Pete walk into the kitchen until they saw them going to the fridge. "You're going to regret messing with us." John vowed as he took Wanda's hand and left the room/

"Geez, like, they didn't look happy. What did you do to them?" Kitty asked as she sat down next to Lorna, while Pete made her some pancakes.

"Bobby froze their pipes to the shower." Lorna answered as she drank some more coffee.

"That was not very nice." Pete commented to them.

"Well they threw honey and feathers at Lorna and John put my hand in a bowl of water when I was sleeping." Bobby grumbled.

"Oh yeah, I remember that. That was a good one." Kitty said as she rested her arms on the table and waited for her pancakes to be done.

Lower Level of the Mansion

Remy had finally fallen asleep an hour ago. Even while he slept, his hand held Rogue's. He never heard the rustling of the sheets next to him as Rogue opened her eyes and tried to sit up. She felt a pain in her chest and immediately laid back down.

She looked down at and smiled when she saw Remy sleeping next to her. With her other hand, she ran it through Remy's silky reddish-brown hair. She saw the bags under his eyes and began to wonder if he had stayed up while she slept.

Remy slowly opened his eyes and saw her staring at him. He quickly sat up and gave a soft smile. "I was wonderin' when y' was gonna wake up." He told her as he caresses her hand.

"How long was Ah out for?" She asked him. He released her hand as she stretched her arms in front of her.

"Out for a while, scared moi to death. Didn' know if y' was gonna wake up." He replied to her.

"Ah'm fine, mah chest hurts meh a bit though." She told him as she looked over at the bed table. "What's that?" She pointed to the piece of paper with a crayon drawing on it.

Remy smirked as he reached over and handed it to her. "Sarah made dis for y'." He responded.

Rogue smiled as she looked at the picture of herself standing outside with little flowers and grass beside her. At the top of the paper, in big letters it read 'GET BETTER SOON ROGUE.' "Ah'm have ta thank her. She did a good job on it."

"Ah'm surprised ya are still here." Rogue told him. He raised an eyebrow at her. "Ah know ya hate labs. Even when ya are injured ya won't come in here." She commented to him.

"Didn' want to leave y' here by y'rself." He told her as he took Rogue's hand again. "So glad y'r alright. I swear to y', mon amour, nothin' will ever harm y' again." He whispered.

Rogue smiled and was about to say something when Logan entered the room. "Good ta see ya up, Stripes." He greeted her.

"Hey Logan." She smiled at him.

"Listen, Jeannie said that as soon as ya woke up ya could absorb my healin' factor." He told her as he held out his hand to her. "That way ya can get outta this place sooner."

Rogue reached out and took his hand and began to absorb his healing factor. She got a rush of his memories, none of them were of his past, only of the past few days. Thanks to her practicing with the Professor, she learned how to block the memories out so she wouldn't see them again. "Thanks Logan." She smiled weakly at him as he pulled back.

He felt a little dizzy and nauseous, but it would soon be gone in a few minutes. "No problem, kid." He told her as he left the infirmary.

"There is one thing Ah'd like ya ta do for meh, sugah." Rogue said to Remy as sweetly as she could.

"Anythin' for y', chere." Remy smiled at her.

"Could ya quit smokin'?" She asked him. "Ah was gonna ask ya before, even got Jubilee ta get the patch for ya." She told him.

Remy sighed. "Dose things don' work. And Gambit don' wanna." He told her.

"Please Remy, for meh." She pouted as she twirled a piece of his hair in her fingers.

He knew this was going to be a losing battle. "Oui, fine. I'll try it. Mais, if Gambit don' like it, he's quitin' de patch." He grumbled. Rogue smiled and hugged him.

"Thanks sugah."

Professor's Office

The phone began to ring, causing Charles to put down his pen and answer the phone. "Hello, thank you for calling-" He went onto say when he heard a familiar voice.

"Charles? Is that you?" A female voice asked into the phone.

"Yes?" Xavier answered. He knew he had heard that voice once before, but couldn't remember where it was from.

"This is Gabrielle Haller. We met twenty one years ago in Paris." She said to him.

"Oh yes, of course. I remember you now. How are you?" He asked her with a cheerful voice.

"I'm fine. Listen, I need your help. My son has been kidnaped and I know you are able to find mutants anywhere around the planet. I remember you and Eric showing me the machine you two had created, Cerebro." She told him in a worried voice.

"I can try to locate him. Are you sure that he has been kidnaped?" He asked her.

"Yes, I'm sure of it. I got a phone call the other day from his university saying he was killed in a fire, but I know that it is impossible." She answered him.

"Hm, that is odd. What is his name?" Xavier questioned her. He hadn't remembered her having a son. Unless she had one with someone else after they had met in Paris.

"His name is David Haller. And-" She didn't know how she was going to explain the next part. He would most likely be mad at her when he found out.

"-I have some things I have to do, but I shall get around to looking for your son. Have a good. . ." He said when she cut him off.

"-he's your son." She blurted into the phone. Charles leaned back into his chair. When he heard those words, his heart skipped a beat.

'Son? I have a son? That's impossible. I would have known about that.' He thought to himself. "Could you repeat that?" He asked her.

"During our time in Paris, that one night we had together before you had to leave. Well, after you left, I found out I was pregnant. I knew you wanted to follow your dream of helping mutants with their powers. I didn't want to disturb you, so I kept it secret. I told David about you when he was little. I even told him that he would one day meet you. I'm so sorry I never told you." Gabrielle apologized.

"Can you meet me somewhere? It would be better if we looked together for him. I will go use Cerebro to find him as soon as I'm off the phone." Charles vowed to her.

"I can meet you tomorrow morning. Once again, I'm sorry I kept this from you. Goodbye, Charles." She said as she hung up on him.

'I have a son.' He thought to himself again.

Jean and Scott sat in the living room going over the final arrangements for their wedding. Jean's family was unable to come. They were expecting Scott's younger brother to be there, but were unsure. His parents had been killed in a plane crash when he was little, so his hopes were that his only living relative would be able to make it.

"Okay, and then Warren is going to be your best man. And you said that Hank, Logan, and Bobby are there too. Though, are you sure you want Logan to be up there? I mean, he did have a crush on me and it might be mean." Jean told her future husband.

"I talked to him about it and he said he was okay with it." Scott told her as he kissed her forward. He then looked down at the wedding plans. "And then your maid of honor is Ororo, and Betsy, Rogue, Jubilee, and Kitty." He smirked at the last three names.

"They begged me to be in it. I couldn't say no to them." She smiled while looking down at the names.

During all their talking, they did not see the figure through the glass windows until a tentacle shot through and wrapped itself around both their necks. "Where is Weapon X?" They heard a Russian voice ask as it brought them closer to a man with white face and red eyes and had long blond hair pulled into a pony tail.

"We don't know what you're talking about." Jean told him as she tried to use her telekinesis to get the tentacle off her and Scott.

Jubilee and Jono had been showing X-23 around the mansion and introducing her to all the residents. As soon as they heard a noise in the living room, they came racing into it. "Oh my god, it's another one of those freaks." Jubilee whispered to Jono.

Stay back. I ain' gonna let yer get hurt again. Jono told her as he placed a protective arm in front of her. Besides yer injured. Maybe go find Logan and some of the others. He told her. She nodded and left as quickly as she could.

X-23 didn't waste any time, she ran at the intruder and dug her claws into the side of his hip. "Pathetic." The creature snarled and flung X-23 into a bookcase.

Listen to me, this is one of the men that is trying to go after you and Logan. His name is Omega Red, his body is made out of carbonadium, meaning your claws won't hurt him. Jean telepathically sent to X-23 as the younger girl got to her feet.

"Hey, Jubilee said that-whoa, what is that!" Bobby shouted as he, Lorna, and Wanda entered the room.

Omega Red threw Scott into the three teenagers, but Wanda hexed him over to a couch before he hit them. He threw Jean the opposite direction, luckily she was able to use her telekinesis before she hit the fireplace.

"He's mine!" X-23 ran at Omega Red, she didn't care what Jean had said, this thing had to die. She knew it was the only way she would be able to live her life without someone coming after her.

X-23 leapt into the air and was about to slice at Omega Red's face, when she was caught by one of its tentacles. "Stupid girl." He growled as slammed her into the ceiling, before throwing her at the group.

"Are you alright?" Lorna asked X-23, who nodded.

"Hope the Professor has insurance on this place." Iceman mused to himself as he looked at the damage done to the wall and ceiling.

"He's rich. I'm sure he can afford it." The Scarlet Witch whispered to him. She hexed a nearby table into Omega Red, but it did not seem to phase him.

They won't stand a chance. He will kill them all. You can stop him, just let me free and I can end his pitiful life. Jean heard the voice say in her head.

'Why does this stupid thing have to talk during a battle?' She asked herself as she looked over at her team. An idea came to her mind.

Everyone, distract Omega Red. Iceman, while he is distracted, try to turn him into ice as fast as you can. Jean telepathically sent to the group.

"Hey dumbass, over here!" The Scarlet Witch shouted as she hexed a chair into him.

"You are going to pay for that, little girl." Omega Red growled as he started walking towards her.

"No, over here!" Polaris yelled at him. He glared over at her and shot his tentacles at her. Before they could reach her, she stopped them in midair. "Aw, too bad. There's metal in here. Otherwise, you would have gotten me." She smirked at him and kept him in place. "Now Bobby!" She shouted to her boyfriend, who began to freeze Omega Red.

"This is not over, you will all-" Before he could finish his sentence, Omega Red turned into a big block of ice.

"Why do they always come to us? Is there something in this mansion that drawls all the baddies here?" Bobby asked.

X-23 glared at Omega Red's frozen form. She wanted to slice him into two to make sure he couldn't get free, but her claws wouldn't work against him. "Hey, are you alright?" Jean asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She told the redhead and then left the room.
