Author's Note: I am so sorry guys, but my computer took a major crash due to my own fault. Viruses and spy ware galore. It literally wiped my computer clean and I only now got it back up to speed.

Ohh yeah, this chapter is mainly about Rogue's past, to kind of give you a clue about what she's been going through. Bear with me it will get better in the next chapter, training time.

Disclaimer: I don't own Highlander or X-Men Evolution. So you cant sue me and even if you tried I am flat broke.

Pairings: Havent decided yet, but give me one more chapter.

Chapter Five

Smiling slightly at all the stunned looks she was getting Rogue gently shut her adopted brother's mouth and gave him a kiss on cheek before continuing on it the mansion.

"Well, now if you all will follow the charming young woman, we can begin the long process that is called interrogation." Methos said herding the more reluctant children up the stairs and into the living room.

"Now Rogue, if you will so kindly start from the beginning and run briefly through everything I'm sure that we can work out something." Professor Xavier said settling down for a long story and gently probed her mind so he would know when she was lying.

"I guess the beginning would be the best place to start isn't it?"

Taking a deep breath Rogue went over and sat down in Eliase's lap feeling more comfortable with a familiar presence against her back and thought back to her very first memory.

"I was born in a small country that no longer exist on any map that is around today, it was destroy over two thousand years ago, I was the leaders daughter and given more independence than all the other females due to my status. I was taught how to fight with a sword and how to shoot what was then a bow and arrow. On the day of my nineteenth summer I was taken into battle with the rest of the warriors in my village and it was then that I killed my very first human." Rogue paused when she saw the horror in many of the other's eyes and only kindness in the eyes of those who mattered.

"You have to understand, in that time and place, the leaders children were expected to have at least ten kills by the time they were nineteen, I was considered weak because that was my first kill. But only days after that my village was betrayed by our allies and everyone was massacred. I didn't understand why I was still alive and yet everyone else was dead. I wandered around for about four weeks, I really don't remember much of that time until I came upon Methos, he took one look at me and took me under his wing and taught me about what I had become and a few other things."

Looking over at her old lover Rogue remembered vividly the first time that they had made love. It had been her first time and yet it had been the most precious moment in her entire life. He had made her feel like the only thing in the world and had proceeded to teach her every trick that he knew in the art of seduction.

"Methos and I stayed together for about one thousand and five hundred years before we went our separate ways, I wanted to travel the known world and find out what was beyond my own culture. The first place I went to was India, I learned their ways and found that I was easily calmed by their teachings I stayed in the country for about two hundred years, until I became restless and I then traveled to Japan where I met the most beautiful man of my life and the one who would later turn my life into a living hell." Rogue stated remembering how infatuated she had become with her new companion and shivered slightly.

Eliase looked at the small girl in his arms and warped his giant arms around her giving her a small measure of security from the prying eyes of all the others and their thoughts that were betrayed by the look in their eyes. Many of them were amazed at her story, while others were disgusted with her.

"I will say this right now, what Rogue did is what every other immortal has done to survive and I will not have any of ye condemn her just because you don't understand our ways and you find them unbearable." the giant said looking straight at Scott and Jean as he said this, not surprised when the girl turned her head away with an uncomfortable blush gracing her cheeks.

"Anyways, I meet James one night when I had gone to a geisha house to see if I could possible learn how to act like a lady of the times. He was the one to convince the owner to take me in and teach me the ways of the geisha. I think he was secretly happy to have me there, since I was able to bring in more clients than the other girls due to my looks and my manners. But soon James became very possessive and he bought my contract and asked me to become his wife."

"You mean you married him?" Kitty squeaked her eyes growing huge at the thought of her best friend married and to someone who had introduced her to a brothel.

"I did, we were so happy for the first hundred years or so until I received a letter from an old friend of mine, Methos, he was in Japan and had heard that a lovely foreign woman had married the most prominent man and resided in the capital. Surprised I went to meet him and found him just as irresistible as ever and when I told him I was married he was so shocked that I couldn't help but laugh, we talked and agreed to meet again. But when I went home later, I found James waiting for me and the next thing I knew he was throwing me into the wall saying how if he couldn't have me than no one could."

Rogue stopped and remembered the pain of how the fire had scorched across her skin and had almost paralyzed her with pain, the look on her husbands face as he reached for his sword and how she had somehow managed to find the strength to run out into the night and straight to Methos.

"I ran that night, Methos helped me leave Japan and traveled with me until we reached Greece, I thought that I had seen the last of James and I was content to be a priestess in the Temple of Artemis. I stayed there for about four hundred years, I was thought to be sent from the gods, mainly because my powers had emerged and I was never aging. Everything was going wonderfully until one day I was asked to come and bring rain to a small village that had been in a long drought that was killing off all their cattle and sheep, but it was then that James found me and I was forced to run again, this time I ran to Scotland."

"But child, why did you not fight him, surely you could have beaten him easily?" Storm asked digesting all the information and trying not to gather the girl in her arms.

"I had not gotten over the fear that I felt for him, you have to remember that James is at least six hundred years older than me and he is much more experienced than I was in many styles of sword play." Rogue said smiling at the weather goddess.

"Yes and if I remember when you finally found your teacher not only did you seduce him but you also made him your little companion for a few years." Methos grumbled throwing Rogue a dirty look.

"Your just mad that I didn't turn to you for help like all those other times, but you have to admit he was a cute little thing and so willing to help me."

Clearing his throat slightly Professor Xavier raised one eyebrow at the looks that passed between his student and the older man even had him slightly flustered.

"Ohh right, sorry, while in Scotland I ran into the most charming man by the name of Duncan MacLeod, he was also one of my teachers and he and I would pick up where we left off every time we ran into each other, which was often in my case. I stayed over in the northern European continent for some time, traveling here and there until the time when they discovered America and I decided to venture there and see what could be gained in this new land and so I went and decided to seek out the natives of the land and soon I was taken in by the Comanche's of the area and I was taught their language and their way of life. I was so happy in that time, at least until I was accidentally thrown from my horse and I broke my neck. I came back to life as they were pouring their cleaning water on my body and they claimed that I was possessed by the spirits and that I must leave. It was the hardest day of my life, I had grown to love them all, but it was their custom and so I went away and found another tribe this time it was an Apache."

Rogue trailed off and noticed that Professor Xavier was wearing a most unique expression on his face and looked at him until he noticed that she had grown quite and was looking at him.

"I'm sorry Rogue, but I was just getting the most lovely image from your mind, a small boy and girl wearing brown clothes helping you clean something in the river." Xavier said surprised when he saw Rogue nearly burst into tears.

"That would be Shining Star and Smiling Hawk, they were the closest things to children that I can ever have, they were part of the Apache tribe and they followed me everywhere I went, even to the cliff near the camp. That was how I lost them. I had been in a fight with the chief one day and he said because of they way of my people that I was no longer welcome in their world. I left vowing never to return and I would have stayed away except for the fact that my children were dead the very next day, they had run up to the cliff and in the dark of the night, they hadn't seen the edge in time and had fallen off and died." Rogue explained her voice straining under the weight of her sorrow as she tried desperately not to cry.

"Ohh, you poor child, I am sure that they are very proud of you and that they wouldn't want you to mourn for them any longer." Storm said comforting Rogue trailing her bare hand down the immortal girl's face.

"I know but since immortals can never have children it is hard when we lose those that we consider our children, I havent tried to fill their places but I know one day I will and I hope that I can help them like they helped me."

Eliase and Methos gave bitter smiles at the thought of all the children that they had watched grow and die as they remained young. They would never forget the ones that had changed their lives.

"I meet Eliase only five years after that in what is now called Texas, he was a gunslinger and I was working as a singer in a salon. He challenged me to a match and when he finally saw me face to face he didn't do anything but jump on me and declare me his baby sister and then proceeded to dress me every single frilly outfit you can think of until some damn unknown immortal tried to take my head and then he allowed me to wear pants and taught me how to shoot a gun and trained me to be a bounty hunter so I could help him. We stayed together until the eighteen hundreds and I decided to check out what else was going on and I traveled all around the world picking up souvenirs, making friends and enemies until I decided that it was time I put down roots for a while and then I learned that others had powers just like me so I decided to learn more about it, so here I am and you know the rest."

Silence reigned through the room as they looked at the small girl sheltered in the giants arms and had to admit silently that she had endured more hardships then they would in their life time alone. But many of them agreed that she should have told them.

"Now Rogue I have only one question, why didn't you tell us that you were a immortal, we wouldn't have judged you." Xavier said trying to get a handle on the concept that his student would live forever.

"If I had come up to you and said that I would never die what would you have done, locked me in a mental institute, I couldn't take that chance so I waited, either I would be killed a normal death or I would go on the run again." Rogue stated not even blinking an eye as she saw the disbelief run across his face.

"Plus there are people that have recorded every one of our moves, they are called Watchers and our dear Hellfire is mine, he records what happens to me and makes a journal of it for my future watchers to read so they know what they are in for."

Looking over at the other mutant who nodded his head in agreement Xavier put his hands together and thought long and hard about what he was going to do, when a stray thought crossed his mind and he looked up to see Rogue nodding off slightly.

"One more thing Rogue and then you can go to bed, what does this James want with you, why come after you after all these years?" Xavier asked watching as Rogue sighed and stood up in the middle of the rooms and called upon her prophecy powers.

"A child of the sun and moon,

One who can see the truth behind all lies

She is the one who will bring peace to the world

The one with the power to bring destruction or peace

Only when her heart is tamed will the fate of the world be decided

A love pure and sweet will bring untold centuries of peace

A love of hatred and violence will bring untold destruction

But only she can decide which path to take

Let not the powers bring forth pain

May her heart be forever pure."

Opening her eyes, Rogue saw the looks of awe on the faces of Methos and Eliase and disbelief on the other students as they listened to the prophecy and thought about what the implications were.

"So your telling me that someone, a female to be precise, is going to decide the fate of the world as we know it." Scott yelled disbelief running through his veins as he advanced on the young girl.

"Believe it or not I don't really care, but James believe that the prophecy is talking about me and that is the reason he is always after me." Rogue said exasperation evident in her tone.

Snarling Scott reached over and started to shake her until a fist planted itself square in his face and caused him to drop to the floor in a pitiful heap on the floor groaning with pain. Looking up at her savior, Rogue was startled to see Duncan advancing on the poor unsuspecting boy.

"Duncan MacLeod you cant just come in here and start hitting people whenever you feel like it without saying hi to me first!"

Grinning the Scotsman picked up the young girl and twirled her around until he was stopped by a grinning Methos and a chuckling Eliase. Scooping the young girl up in his arms Eliase made his way to the stairs where he waited patiently for instructions as where to put her.

"Ohh, here I'll show you where our room is and where you can sleep too." Kitty said bouncing up off the couch and running up the stairs.

"So how did you get here so fast MacLeod, I thought only jets could move that fast." Methos said grinning.

"You wouldn't the imagine the contacts that I have acquired in all the years I have been alive." Duncan explained motioning to the stairs.

"Well now that the main part of the story has been explained I am going to retire for the night and I do believe that Duncan here wants to catch up with our dear little flower, so I bid you all goodnight and I will explain the rest in the morning, after training." Methos said waving to the others before ascending the stairs with Duncan right behind him.

"Vell that vas certainly interesting, who vould have thought that my baby sister is an immortal, totally cool!"

A/N: Sorry about the boring chapter but I thought that a lot of people would like me to explain what was going on with Rogue and how she knew everyone.

I think I'm going to pair Rogue with Duncan or Remy. Its still a toss up.
