Vincent looked up alarmed at the Professor words. "What? There inside Rogue's mind right now. I want to join them." Vincent said standing up only to be forcefully pushed back down by Warren.

"Vincent you're in no condition to be going anywhere. You're barely able to stand on your own let alone fight." He told him sternly.

"Besides we need to keep an eye on you. We don't know if there is any nasty side effects because of the induced nightmarish sleep. Now get back in bed where I can keep an eye on you." Beast told him.

"But Mr. McCoy I have to do something! Rogue is stuck in dream she can't awaken from. She could get hurt or even die! At least let me stay by her." Vincent insisted.

"Alright my boy. But only if you stay in bed and don't try anything funny. Jaime will you please roll the gurney over here next to Rogue's bed. Rahne please bring the monitors over here as well." Beast told him.

"Sure thing Mr. McCoy. Come on Rahne help me." Jaime said eagerly. Rahne and him went over and collected the monitors placing on the bed. Both of them started pushing the bed over to where Vincent was sitting. Once there they both helped Vincent into bed and hooked up again to the device. "Don't worry Vincent I'm sure that everything will be all right." Assured Jamie.

"I hope your right Jaime. But I still worry. Rogue has had such a terrifying life. Not to mention the horrors of other people's lives. Whatever she's experiencing right now must be truly terrifying." Vincent told him.

"I've got him covered for now. Why don't you two go check on the others," suggested Gale as she and Beast begin to run routine test on Vincent's.

The two young mutants wandered over to Sam who was sitting next to Ray talking to his buddy. "Come on buddy time to wake up. I promise that whatever you're experiencing right now isn't real. If you can hear me respond."

"Nothing yet?" Rahne asked gazing down at the sleeping mutant.

"I can't get through to him. I'm really worried. Not only about him and the others, but also my sister. This is her first real mission as a member of the X-Factor team. What if something serious happens to her? How would I explain it to my parents? And what about Tabby? Is she okay?"

"Hey I'm sure that their both okay. Both of them have faced some pretty tough opponents and they've come out okay. I mean when the Acolytes kidnapped Paige and me held her own ground. And let's not forget that Tabby lived with the Brotherhood for a while. Anyone who can survive them has to pretty resourceful." Jaime pointed out. He was trying to convince them that everything was okay, but even he didn't know that.

"Maybe I could go check on Forge and Jean. They could tell us what is happening with how our friends are doing. You two stay here I'll be right back." Rahne said hurrying out of the infirmary.

She transformed into her werewolf self and ran full speed to the elevator. Hitting the button with her paw she waited impatiently for the door to open. Finally she arrived at her destination transforming back she knocked on the door. "It's Rahne. Can I come in?"

Jean opened the door and smiled. "Hi Rahne come on in. Here for an update? Forge and I are just about done with our status check on the team."

Forge turned around and waved. Rahne smiled seeing as how Forge was finally wearing his X-Factor uniform. It resembled a New Mutant uniform with the sleeves missing and a tool belt on it. "I've checked the latest readings from the armbands. They're all in tune with Rogue's dream pattern so they should be in her dream right now. Communications are working fine. Health readouts indicated that they all are suffering from serious injuries. They need medical care, but I can't think of how to get it to them."

"Have you been able to determine where and when Rogue's dream is taking place?" Jean asked him. She looked down at the floor below and shivered. The black cloud had disappeared being replaced by a greenish and purple one.

"Not really. Her dream wave patterns are slightly erratic so I can't get a definite reading on where they are. However I think that this dream takes place in the not so distant past so Rogue should recognize them."

"Does that mean that they will have their powers?" Rahne asked urgently.

"Most likely yes. Time to check in with the group. Jean you want to do the honors?" Forge asked her.

Jean nodded her head and turned on the speaker. "Shadow come in please. This is Jean, can you hear me?" All she got was static. Concentrating she used her telepathy to strengthen her message.

"This is Shadow. I hear you Jean. We made it safely into Rogue's dream. We're currently outside the mansion assessing our injuries. Will proceed inside to try and find Rogue."

Rahne whispered something to Jean who relayed the message. "Is either Tabby or Paige badly injured? Sam is anxious to know."

"Tabby took a blow to the abdomen but she's fine. Paige had some injuries, but they healed when she ripped herself a new skin. Don't worry everything will be okay." Shadow replied.

"Alright proceed with caution. You don't know what you'll find in there." Jean warned him.

"Will do. Contact you once we've found Rogue. Shadow out." With a click he was gone. Jean looked up at Rahne who was standing still. "You can go back up there and tell them that everything is going as smoothly as possible. Don't worry Rahne everyone will be okay." Jean said placing a comforting hand on the Scottish girl's shoulder.

"Thank you. I shall go tell the others what I heard. Please inform us of any news at all. Bye." Rahne said disappearing. Sighing Jean turned back to the Danger Room with a look of concern on her face.

"So what do you want to do? Should we enter the mansion or stay out here?" questioned Sunspot.

"We need to attend to our injuries. This may be a dream, but it's likely the medical equipment will heal us. We should at least see if we could find something to heal us. I'm not going to be much use if I have to keep limping." Daytripper pointed out. She winced in pain as she put her weight on her bad ankle.

"Well there is a plus side to being in Rogue's mind. We all still have our powers." Magma stated forming a fireball in her hands and then extinguished it.

"Alright will go in. But be alert for the slightest sign of danger. We have no idea what kind threats are in this dream. Lets go." Mirage said bravely. Checking to make sure she still had enough arrows she walked up the stairs and pushed opened the doors to the lobby.

"Hello? Is anyone home? HELLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Boom Boom yelled. Her voice echoed across the room. It looked exactly like the real lobby except the colors were faded, it was colder, and there was no sign of life anywhere.

"Where is everyone? Hey you don't think that Rogue's worst nightmare is being alone in the mansion do you?" Husk asked as she brushed a light layer of dust off a table.

Shadow raised a hand to silence the chatter. Instantly it was silent. He raised a finger to his lips and whispered, "We are being watched. Act naturally." They all started milling around. Suddenly Shadow struck fast with his katana ready to inflict harm when he halted a bare millimeter before his victims. Everyone gasped as they saw who it was. It was Kitty!

"Kitty! What are you doing here? You're suppose to be asleep?" Husk exclaimed.

"Guys I don't think that's Kitty. At least not the real Kitty Pryde. Look at her outfit. Its different then the one she had on back at the infirmary." Mirage pointed out.

Kitty or whoever she was giggled. "You're like right! I'm not your Kitty. I'm more like a distant echo a ghost if you had to label me. I'm like what's leftover after Rogue absorbs someone. You should be careful. There are a lot of dangers around here."

"What kind of dangers exactly? Whatever it is we can handle it. Where not afraid of anything and we have our powers this time around." Sunspot assured her crossing his arms defiantly.

"What are you mister macho men? Never mind I guess I can answer your questions. You won't find many others around here who will like help you out." Ghost Kitty replied.

"Others? You mean there's more like you in this place?" Magma said intently. She started glancing around furiously.

"Yeah. Everyone Rogue's ever absorbed lives here. Most of the time we get along fine. But right now it's chaos. The only way to restore balance if you like find Rogue and get her back in charge. But in order to do that your going to need to be fixed up so follow me. Come on I'll take you to Beast. He'll help!" Ghost Kitty said excitedly as she started phasing through the ground.

"Kitty we can't follow you through the floor." Mirage reminded her best friend. Kitty quickly fixed the problem by phasing Mirage and Husk. Daytripper teleported Magma and Sunspot while Shadow traveled through the shadows to the infirmary.

When they arrived they found Ghost Kitty talking to a Ghost Beast. "Well it seems we have some new arrivals. You don't seem to be like the rest of us."

"We're not Mr. McCoy. Where real and where here to help Rogue wake up from this horrible nightmare. But right now we could use some medical aid. Think you could fix us up?" Mirage asked hesitantly.

"Of course. Everyone hop on top of a table. I'll get some things to help you guys. Just weight a moment." Ghost Beast said. Taking his advice they all sat down and waited to be attended to. A few minutes later they where all healing much better then they had been feeling. It was like their injuries had magically disappeared. Wondering about this they inquired why they felt so good.

"Hard to explain. It could be an infinite number of reasons. The dream itself, an unexpected side effect of Forge's machine, who really knows. The point is for now you feel better. Now you best be off before someone else finds you down here. This isn't the best place to be right now." Ghost Beast warned them as he finished treating Daytripper's ankle.

"Why? I don't understand why we have to be careful. According to Kitty the only people who live here are the ghosts of the people Rogue's absorbed. The majority of the people that Rogue's absorbed are friends not enemies." Boom Boom pointed out.

"Like you don't get it do you? Most of the time where faint whisperers in her head, but right now where full-blown people fighting for control of this place. And where all acting like the way we where the moment she absorbed us or even just acting like crazy. If you don't watch yourselves you'll all get hurt." Ghost Kitty tried to explain.

"Hey we've dealt with the Acolytes, magical threats, Hellions, Neophraym, and the Friends of Humanity. I think we can handle a couple of ghosts." Sunspot said arrogantly.

Ghost Kitty shrugged her shoulders. These people weren't her responsibility. If they wanted to walk through the mansion with dozens of dangerous super powered beings that was their concern. Still she couldn't just leave them alone could she? "Look I'm just trying to help. I don't want to have see you guys end up as permanent residences here because someone screwed up. Just find Rogue and get her back in charge fast."

"We will Kitty. That's a promise. Now before we go do you have any idea where Rogue might be hiding?" Mirage asked her friend.

Ghost Kitty shrugged her shoulders. "The last time I saw her she was like in Professor Xavier office. But that was a long time ago. Sorry I can't be more help to you. Good luck."

"Thanks. All right team grab some medical care to take with us. We have no clue when where going to be able to heal ourselves next. Lets search the mansion from top to bottom. Remember anyone we see is not the real person and their highly dangerous." Mirage ordered. After one final check they headed out ready for anything.

They had only made it halfway down the hall when a flaming horseman stopped them. They heard a crazed laughter and peered through the flames to see Pyro standing with his flamethrowers ready. "Howdy mates. Funny running into you here. I've been bored out of my mind trying to find something to do. Now you guys have provided me with the perfect entertainment. Burn baby burn!" Pyro screamed loudly. He manipulated the flames till they encased the boys in a fire cage and leaving the girls vulnerable to attack.

"Just you and me Shelia's. Just the way I like it. Time to roast some X men." Pyro laughed manically.

"Get behind me girls. This Acolyte is mine! Hey Pyro guess what? You know that old saying about never play fire? Well here's why!" Magma shouted turning into her lava form and began firing molten lava straight at the crazed Aussie.

Pyro blocked her attack with a flame monster of his. He then turned up his own attack pushing back against Magma. "You're my kind of Shelia. Full of burning passion! But you made a mistake attacking me with your fire powers. After all I control fire!" Pyro reminded her.

"I know, but I'm betting you can't control lava! Its not true fire so I give up now!" Magma told him. Drawing back her hands she began hurling fireballs at high speeds at him while at the same time sending a stream of fire from her feet.

Pyro was unable to defend against the simultaneous attack. He dropped to the floor trying to put out flames that had engulfed his supposed fireproof costume but was just making it worse.

"Let's put an end to this now. Daytripper if you be so kind?" Magma said stepping back. Daytripper nodded and raised her hand. Focusing all her powers she zapped the convulsing man with a very powerful force bolt knocking him out.

"That should keep him out of our hair for awhile. Shadow, Sunspot you okay?" Daytripper asked turning to face the boys who had been freed from their fiery prison.

"Yeah were fine. Why do you think he separated us? I mean he went after you girls specifically." Sunspot said gravely.

"Who knows why he does anything? This guy is insane. One thing is certain though. We shouldn't underestimate anyone in here. Now let's move on. We have a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time." Shadow pointed out.

"Maybe we should check in with Jean and Forge first. See if they have anything that could help us locate Rogue." Husk suggested.

"It couldn't hurt. Mirage to Jean come in Jean. Jean if you can here me we need to know if you can help us locate Rogue in this dream and if there's any change in Rogue's condition at all." Mirage said.

"Negative Mirage. I've tried using my telepathy to locate her for you guys, but nothing. Forge is unable to pinpoint her either. Nothing from the infirmary yet on Rogue's condition. Vincent is awake and fine. He's also complaining about being stuck in the infirmary. Please hurry." Jean said before cutting the connection.

"Things must really be tense for her to hang up like that on us. We better get moving." Husk said urgently. She started running down the hall before anyone could stop her. They others ran after yelling her to get back to him.

Husk entered the kitchen warily. She ripped her skin revealing a metal one underneath. She began scanning the place searching for a sign of life. There was none. Hurriedly she opened the fridge hoping to get a snack when she was lifted into the air and hurled against the stove. "Ahh!" she screamed collapsing to the floor. She looked up and snarled. Standing over her smirking was Magneto.

"Well if it isn't one of Charles misguided X-men. I'm afraid I don't recognize you. Who are you my dear?" Ghost Magneto asked gliding over towards her.

"My name is Husk bucket head! You must be from before Rogue met me because we have met and it sure wasn't a pleasure." Husk growled raising her fist to hit him. Magneto merely waved his hand halting her in the middle of the air.

"You are such a child. As you must know I control all things that are metal. And that includes your metallic skin my dear." Ghost Magneto said as he used his powers to hold her prisoner.

Suddenly a brilliant red beam hit him in the stomach sending him careening through the window. Husk dropped to the floor and was immediately surrounded by her friends who had finally found her. They looked up to see who had saved her. They smiled as they saw it was the ghost of Scott. "Thanks Scott! I owe you big time!"

Scott who was wearing his uniform tuned to face him. His expression was that of pure rage. He didn't know them at all. The others started to back away as he brought his hand up to his visor to blast them. "Say good bye freaks!"

Right before he fired his beams a very angry Magneto who came flying through the broken window knocked him off balance. He wasn't alone. Sabertooth ripped open the back door and came charging at him ready to tear out his throat.

In mid leap he was halted by Jean's phantom. She looked exactly the way she did when she had been under Mesmero control. Cold, serious, and deadly all wrapped in one package. She brought her hands together and made motions to rip Sabertooth apart.

"What is going on with them? What are do they think their doing?" Daytripper yelled over the roar of the fighting. They scramble to hide behind some broken furniture and avoid being hit in the crossfire.

"I think its some sort of power struggle. Remember what Kitty said. Without Rogue in charge its total chaos. This must have been what her mind was like when she lost total control. That must be her worst nightmare." Sunspot said ducking as the kitchen sink was thrown their way.

"I think it is more then that. Her fears run deeper than this. I can feel it." Mirage said.

"One thing is certain we need to get out of here now. I'll create a diversion. The rest of you crawl out of here as fast as you can. I'll be right behind you. Go!" Shadow ordered creating shadows to cover their departure. Soon they where out of the kitchen and in the rec room locking the door behind them.

"We have to find Rogue soon. This is getting out of hand!" exclaimed Magma.

"How do we do that? With all those ghost out there fighting for control we have no way of safely exploring this place." Daytripper pointed out.

"Not all of us are fighting for control. I watch out for Mystique though. She's on the warpath upstairs. That's why I'm hiding down here with Jaime." A voice said. Whirling around and they saw Kurt hanging from the ceiling while Jaime hid under the pool table. "Hello my friends."

"Kurt! Do you recognize me? It's Amanda, you're girlfriend." Daytripper asked intently running over towards him. Kurt let go of the ceiling and landed in front of her. He looked her over slowly and carefully.

"I'm sorry I don't know you. I must have been absorbed before I met you. I wish I did. You're very beautiful. I'm surprised that a beautiful person like you would go out with a freak like me." Ghost Kurt told her looking down at himself sadly.

Daytripper tilted his head up and looked him straight in the eyes. "You're the most handsome guy I know Kurt. We all could use your help. Have you or Jaime seen Rogue?"

"I haven't seen Rogue at all. She went into hiding when the darkness came and surrounded the place." Ghost Kurt told them.

"Darkness? You must mean the nightmare. Do you realize that this is a dream?" Mirage inquired.

"Yeah we know. Right now we have to move. I don't want to be here when Juggernaught comes tearing through here. I think I can help you guys. Come on follow me." Ghost Jaime said leading them upstairs to the bedrooms.

"We have to be very quite. Several of the more hostile ghosts have been running loose around here. Early today I spotted Rogue hiding up here. I think she locked herself in her room to try to block out all of us. Usually she stays in the Professor office keeping us in line. But when the darkness appeared around this place something freaked her out big time. She ran screaming out of the office and into her room. I was all alone up here when it happened." Ghost Jaime explained as they crept through the hallways. They paused at corners to check to see if anyone was coming.

"Why didn't you try and find out what was going on? You could have helped her." Shadow pointed out.

"Hey give the kid a break. The moment Rogue lost control I bet all hell broke loose. Hiding was the smart move." Magma snapped at him.

"Uh you guys better stop arguing and start running. We got trouble!" Boom Boom said pointing down the hall. They all gasped seeing Vincent flying towards them hands charged. Boom Boom threw some time bombs down on floor to block Vincent path. "Come on guys lets move."

"Whoever that guy is he's been really hot tempered since Rogue disappeared." Ghost Kurt said. "We need to get out of the halls. Can any of you teleport?" he demanded angrily.

"I can take two with me. Shadow can move through shadows. I hope the layout of the mansion hasn't changed or where going to end up in a wall." Daytripper said grabbing Magma and Husk. Ghost Kurt grabbed Mirage and Boom. Sunspot charged up and started flying down the hallway at full speed as Shadow jumped from shadow to shadow. Ghost Jaime stayed behind to distract Ghost Vincent.

A minute later they were all outside the bedroom door of Rogue. They could here the sounds of someone crying inside. "This is where I must leave you. I will try to buy you some time my friends. Please be careful and good luck." Ghost Kurt said and in puff of smoke he was gone leaving nothing but the scent of sulphur.

"Well we've made it this far. Might as well go in. Everybody ready?" Mirage asked bravely. The others nodded their heads. Grasping the doorknob firmly she twisted the knob and opened up the door.

The room was pure white. There was minimal light. Their footsteps echoed across the walls. The room seemed huge compared to the real one. They looked all over, but they couldn't spot Rogue. "Fan out. Find her. When you do try to comfort her. Convince her this is nothing, but a dream."

A few minutes later Sunspot called the others over. He found Rogue curled up on the floor crying. Her Goth makeup streaked her face. Her clothes where ripped and torn. Her hands weren't gloved. She looked like she had been in a fight because her lip was bloody. When she saw them she tried to back away from them, but was trapped. "Get away from me! Leave me alone. I don't want you in my head."

"Rogue it's us! We are your friends and where here to help you out of this dark place and back to the light. You have to trust us when we say none of this is real. Take my hand and let's go." Magma said holding out her hand.

"No! Don't touch me! No one can touch me!" Rogue said desperate to get away. She struggled to get to her feet. Drawing on her strength she tried to flee from them, but just fell to the ground.

"Here let me help you up." Husk said already leaning down to pick her up.

A chill ran down Mirage's spine. A vision flashed through her head. It was like she could predict what was about to happen in the nightmare. "Husk don't touch her!"

To late Husk touched her and both girls started screaming. Rogue was absorbing her and she had no way to stop herself from doing so.

Meanwhile in the real world Xavier, who had been trying to reach Rogue telepathically, heard Mirage's warning screaming in his head. "Vincent get away from Rogue!"

Too late she had already started absorbing him. Vincent screamed and tried to break contact, but was unable to. No one could get close enough to separate the two. "Stand back I have an idea. Shield your eyes Vincent!" Jubilee ordered lowering her glasses and shooting a bunch of fireworks straight at him.

The fireworks broke the connection and sent Vincent gurney spinning right into the Professor. Sam and Jaime ran to check on him while Jubilee tossed her coat over Rogue. "What happened Professor? Why did Rogue suddenly start absorbing Vincent like that?"

"I don't know and neither does Forge. Jean and him just heard from the team. They found Rogue, but experienced the same thing. They are unsure how to proceed."

"We should have known that her worst nightmare would be that she could lose the ability to touch and be overrun by the personalities in her mind." Rahne said.

"What is done is done. We must focus on what is going on right now. Vincent are you okay?" Xavier asked concern in his voice.

"A little drained, but otherwise I feel fine. Nothing a quick nap won't cure. I'm more concerned about Rogue. A moment before she started to absorb me I thought I heard her say no. Do you think that means she can be reached?"

"I don't know. I myself had a warning that something bad was going to happen. It might be that since Danielle caused the nightmares in the first place that she can manipulate better while inside one. That might include being able to sense what will happen next before it occurs." Xavier mused.

"Whatever it is let's hope that they save Rogue soon. She's not going to last much longer." Vincent said evenly.

Meanwhile back in the dream they had managed to free Husk from being absorbed by having Sunspot blast them apart. Magma was looking her over while the others discussed how they were going to help Rogue. She had retreated to a corner and was muttering under her breath.

"This is an unexpected setback. How do we help her if we can't get anywhere near her?" demanded Boom Boom.

"I don't know. But somehow we have to convince her that she dreaming and I don't think talking is going to help at all. I'm open to suggestions of how we convince her to wake up." Mirage stated.

"Perhaps the answer is staring us straight in the face. When she was absorbing Husk I notice that she seemed confused. It was almost like she knew from her memories that she was dreaming. If we hadn't broken contact we might be out of here." Shadow explained to the group.

"You want one of us to be absorbed by her so she can learn this is a dream? What if she holds on to long and we end up vegetables! Have you thought of that?" Sunspot demand of her.

"We really have no choice. It's our only option. So who is going to be the lucky person who has their life force drained?" Daytripper asked everyone there on the team.

"Let me do it. She already has absorbed me. If she touches me again she might get all my memories." Husk volunteered stepping forward.

"Forget it Husk. You're too weak. I'm the leader of the group so I'll do it." Mirage informed them.

"Mirage we can't guarantee your safety. We don't even know the effects of her absorption powers inside this nightmare. Are you really willing to put your life on the line for a theory?" Daytripper asked her.

"There is no other option. Take a look at her. She can't last much longer in here. If we don't take action now she could withdraw permanently into her mind. Or worse. Die because none of us where brave enough to take the risk. I don't know about you guys, but I sure don't want that on my conscience." Mirage replied.

"At least let us run this by Forge and Jean so that they know what going on. Jean come in this is Shadow. I need to talk to you come in."

"I can barely hear you. Were experiencing some sort of static here. Forge is trying to fix it, but it might take some time. Think your question to me." Jean told them through a bunch of static.

"Jean we think we found a way to wake Rogue up. It involves having her absorb one of us so she obtains the knowledge that this is nothing, but a bad dream. Our problem is we don't know what will happen to the person who's absorbed. Any ideas?" Shadow thought to her.

Jean relayed the message to Forge who was in the middle of repairing the com system. "The Danger Room has been converted into a portal to the dream world. My device interphase can only keep them safe from harm for so long. As long as Rogue doesn't touch the person to long they should be okay. But to be on the safe side I'll stand by ready for the fail safe."

"You got all that? I've informed the Professor. He doesn't sound to happy about it, but he says you should go for it. Just be careful and be ready for the next jump." Jean thought to them.

"Okay we got approval. Its up to you now." Shadow told Mirage. She nodded and removed her right arm grip so she could make better contact. She slowly approached Rogue.

Rogue saw her and scampered under the bed. She was whimpering like a little baby. Sunspot and Boom each grabbed a leg and hauled her out. She resisted all the way clawing at the carpet desperate to get away. "Go away! Leave me alone! I don't want you or anyone to touch me. My mutation isn't a blessing it's a curse. Don't you get it I'm poison!"

"Your not poison Rogue and your certainly not cursed. You more than anyone else in the entire world deserve the ability to touch without fear. I want to help you Rogue. Take my hand and I'll show you a place where you don't have to worry about personalities or curses at all." Mirage said softly. She held out her hand, but Rogue refused to take it.

"I know you're scared. Believe me I know what its like to have a gift you don't want. I mean my powers just seem to cause trouble. But I do know my life wouldn't be worth living if I didn't have my friends to help me." Mirage told her kindly.

Rogue still looked at her hand suspiciously. "Why? Why do you want me to touch you? I'll just hurt you. I'm tired of hurting people."

"Because if you don't you'll remain here forever. Is that what you want? To be locked up her all alone for the rest of eternity? I don't think so. Take my hand and let me show you the truth about this situation."

Rogue hesitated for moment. Glancing at each one of them she felt that she could trust them. Reaching out she took Mirage's hand firmly in hers and let her memories flow into her. It was chaotic for a moment. So much detail so many emotions. But the knowledge that this was dream stood out clearly. Jerking away she broke her connection from Mirage who looked seriously drained.

"I know the truth now. I guess it's up to me to wake up. Thank you for the help. I'll see you back in the real world." She said smiling. Closing her eyes she wished herself awake.

In the infirmary Rogue let out a groan and pushed Jubilee's jacket off of her. Sitting up she shook rubbed her eyes and looked around the room. Vincent was resting in the bed next to hers and everyone was smiling. "How long was I sleeping?"

"A little over two hours. You had us worried there for a moment. We thought we lost you. Here put these on until we know for sure you have control again over your powers. No need to take a chance." Beast said tossing her a pair gloves and a long sleeved shirt. Graciously she put them on.
"How's the team doing? Did they get out of my mind in time?" Rogue asked.

"Yes they did and except for a little fatigue they seem to be holding up pretty well. Forge has informed me he placed them in your brother's dream. If you like you can talk to him, but you must stay in bed. Do I make myself clear?" Beast told her.

"Crystal. Man that was the strangest experience of my life. For a moment there I thought I was going to be lost forever. I hope that they get through to the others soon." Rogue said gazing fondly at her little brother.
