In the dead of night a woman tosses and turns in her sleep as she dreams. But unlike the average person, for her these dreams aren't your everyday dreams. They are visions of the future. She sees a boy go over to a girl and ask her to dance she is reluctant but decided to. They get real close and he kisses her on the cheek but something happens. He falls to the ground and she screams and horror.
The woman awakens from her sleep and her milky white eyes open. "She's going to manifest" the woman cried. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time hundreds of miles northeast it is quiet in Bayville. The whole town is asleep, well except for one house in particular, the Bayville Boarding House. In the main living room four people sit around. A blond girl sits in an easy chair with her feet up reading a newspaper called the Wall Street Journal, and sipping tea. Another orange haired boy leans against the wall flicking a lighter on and off incessantly, while two other boys sit and watch TV.
"You know could you please stop with that stupid lighter" Emma Frost frowned looking up from her newspaper.
"Sorry luv can't help it, it's brand new and I have to get used to it" Pyro explained. "I want to ready for next time we deal with that Iceman. I can't believe he froze my favorite lighter" he frowned.
Emma rolled her eyes with disinterest. "Well I want to get Grey too but you don't see me annoying everyone because of it" she frowned. "Patience is a virtue anyway," she explained.
"Patience my ass" Lance snapped from over on the couch. He threw down the remote in frustration. "I've been here for days and all I've seen you two do is complain about the red-head witch and the little Popsicle all day" he snapped.
"Little Popsicle that's rich" Pyro began to laugh.
"Shut up, I'm not finished. What I want to know is why are we just sitting here instead of kicking their butts. I want action now" he frowned.
"Yo it's not that easy. I tried and not only did I have to deal with a blue fuzz ball, but the whole team came after me" he said. "And all that security would tell them we're coming man" Todd said.
"Well I rather take my chances and fight then just hang around here" he frowned.
Emma rolled her eyes as she sipped her tea. "Oh don't worry you'll have school tomorrow darling" she explained. "And besides Lord Magneto wouldn't want one of his newest members getting themselves beaten down" she reminded him.
Lance frowned. "Oh yeah well I'd like to meet this guy. Where the hell is he, it seems we never see him."
"Lord Magneto has better things to do then converse with a mindless thug like yourself" Emma shrugged. "You should know your place Alvers. He might hear you."
Lance frowned and made the room shake spilling Emma's tea. "My place, I'm not taking anymore crap from this guy. I mean how do we even know he's really all that powerful. If he wants me to work for me he better show himself now" Lance roared.
An angry Emma was about to get up when suddenly every metal object in the room began to shake. The metal fireplace cage was torn off and flew at Lance. It wrapped tight around him. "Avalanche, I am Magneto," a voice roared from the shadows. "You will know your place" he roared and put pressure on the cage wrapped around Lance. "Now I will give you a choice. Serve me unconditionally and I will give you power, or choose not to serve me and perish like humanity" he growled.
Lance grunted. "I- I'm with you" he yelled. The cage was pulled off from around him and he fell to his knees as he tried to catch his breath. "Forgive me sir," he said.
"You are forgiven. This time" the voice said then it was gone.
"Warned you" Emma smirked as Lance frowned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is morning at that same house in which the woman with the visions lives. She is blind thus she has black sunglasses on. She sits at her kitchen table drinking coffee when she hears footsteps. "Ah my little Rogue, you are headed off to school I assume" She asked.
A girl had indeed entered she had a lot of dark make-up on and is covered up from head to toe in green and black gothic clothing. "Yeah Irene, and ahm running late" she said. "But before I go I was wonderin, well ya see there's this dance and well."
Irene took a deep breath and sighed. "Yes you can go," she said.
Rogue smiled and ran over to Irene. "Oh thank you Irene, I promise I won't be too late" she smiled. "Got to go" she said and ran off to school.
Irene sat at the table and sighed. She got up and grabbed her cane walking over to the phone and started to dial. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile back in Bayville, school is just about to start as the Xavier institute students walk down the halls of the high school together. A terrified Kitty is in the middle. "Like oh my god I hate being the new kid" she sighed.
"Oh relax Kitty, you have Math, History and Earth Science with Bobby, Chemistry with Scott, Art with Kurt, Gym with me and Lunch with all of us. Besides you'll do just fine" Jean assured her.
"Well like okay I'm just glad we're all...." Kitty began
"Hey Jean" a voice said. They saw Duncan Matthews waving and a bunch other football players and girls calling over to her.
"Oh got to go" Jean said and rushed off.
"...Together" Kitty sighed. "So does she always do this?" she asked. She noticed Scott was quite annoyed by what had happened.
Bobby looked at his watch and smirked. "Right on cue" he said. "Ehh don't worry the rest of us are hopeless losers. Only Jean hangs out with the almighty popular people" he joked.
Kitty began to laugh. "Well I guess I can like live with that.
"Great then ve're all losers together" Kurt said putting his arms around them. Kitty phased out. She still was kind of freaked out about Kurt being the way he was, despite the fact he had the holo-watch on. Kurt sighed and walked away and Bobby was about to go after him when Kitty interrupted him.
Kitty had continued walking when she had spotted of all people Lance Alvers. "Like eww what's he doing here" she frowned as she looked over and saw him standing against some lockers with Pyro and Toad.
Bobby walked over next to her. "Wait Kitty who are you... "He began to ask when he saw for himself "Alvers is here and of all people he's with Pyro" Bobby frowned as he looked to see two of his least favorite people actually acting quite friendly. Bobby marched over there with Kitty trailing him.
Scott walked over with them. He had been quiet for most of the morning, a little annoyed by Jean's choice of friends. He had been concerned about Kurt and thought about going to talk to him. But the prospect of another Brotherhood member or two, with Toad being there, troubled him. Even more so that Bobby and Kitty were going over there. "I better keep an eye on those two" he thought and kept a little bit of distance, knowing Bobby's ego.
Lance looked up and saw them coming over and grinned. "Hey boys if it isn't some good friends of mine. Never thought you'd see me again huh Kitty-Kat" Lance laughed until Kitty slapped him. Lance went to make a move but was held back by Pyro and Toad.
"Easy mate" Pyro said.
"Like how dare you show your face around here, you should be in jail you thug" Kitty fumed.
"Well at least he's in the right company" Bobby snapped looking at Pyro.
"Ehh forget easy" Pyro frowned. "I say we waste them right now" he said flicking his lighter a bit.
Kitty became a bit nervous at his threat but stood her ground. "Like we're not afraid of you are we Bobby" She asked.
Bobby shook his head. "Hell no, I'll just freeze that lighter like I did last time" he laughed and Kitty did as well.
Pyro fumed at this and the two were about to go at it when Scott walked in between them. "Come on guys, forget them they're not worth it" he said.
"Shove it Summers" Todd said.
"Oh didn't see you there hiding behind your new friends, guess your with them huh Tolensky" Scott asked.
"Righteo mates, your not the only one's who can get recruits. And ours aren't naïve enough to listen to that weak old man" Pyro smirked.
Scott took a deep breath but then just turned around and walked away. "Come on you two," he said to Bobby and Kitty and they left the Brotherhood down the hall.
"Well at least Emma wasn't with them" Bobby said. "Bet that traitor can't stand to be seen in public with them" he joked.
"What do you mean traitor?" Kitty asked. She knew Emma Frost was part of the Brotherhood but not much else.
Bobby and Scott looked at each other and back at Kitty. "It's nothing Kitty" Scott said not wanting to get into the old story. "Anyway I've got class" he said and walked off quickly.
Kitty turned to Bobby. "Like yeah right, what are you guys keeping from me" she frowned.
Bobby became nervous. "Uhh nothing really and besides we got class now" he said and began to rush off. Kitty chased after him continuing to question him as the bell rung.
Meanwhile in the Principals office Raven Darkholme is sitting at her desk doing meaningless paper work. "Sometimes I wonder why I do this job" she frowns when her phone rings. She answers. "Hello Raven Darkholme."
"Raven, it's Irene. I had a vision. Tonight she will manifest. At the dance" she told her.
Raven almost dropped the phone. After so long waiting it was going to happen. "Okay Irene, I'll be there as soon as I can," she said hanging up. "Doris call in Emma Frost" she said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that evening a small group of people stand waiting in the reeds of a Mississippi bayou that overlooks a large house on the water. From the house loud music is playing as a dance goes on inside. They are all wearing strange costumes; one even has a glass bowl on his head.
"So what are we doing here?" Lance Alvers asked. "Are we just going to sit here" he frowned looking over at Mystique and the others. Pyro is playing with his lighter again. Todd is taking in the atmosphere including all the bugs, while Sabretooth and Emma both fold their arms looking impatient.
"Though I hate to admit it I have to agree with Avalanche. "I mean we're here to get another mutant. You say she's in there, so why don't we go and get her already" she frowned at Mystique. She was quite tempted to just read her mind.
"Because, she is about to manifest and she will be confused. The X-men will detect it and rush down here to recruit her. She'll be frightened and scared and I intend to use that to make sure the X-men look absolutely terrifying to her. Then you all get to swoop in for the rescue. Understand now," she asked.
Lance and Emma exchanged evil grins and nodded then set their eyes on the dance.
Out on the deck railing the girl known only as Rogue stands alone and reflects. She was really hoping one of the boys would ask her to dance.
Watching her are two boys one a round blond boy, and another boy skinnier with brown hair. They both have football jackets.
"Go on Cody" the skinnier boy said and pushed the blond boy ahead into Rogue's direction. Rogue hears and turns to see him.
"Can ah help ya," she asked.
"Yeah uh I was wonderin if ya liked to dance" Cody said nervously.
Rogue shrugged. "Yeah ah guess so. Sure" she smiled and took his hand with her gloved hand. They started to dance and soon a slow dance came on and they became closer. She was really enjoying it and hoped for a kiss. She would soon regret that wish, when he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. She pushed away and held her head. She felt so strange. She looked and saw him passed out on the floor. "Oh mah god" she screams as everyone stares at them. She holds her head and has a flash of Cody playing football then freaks and runs out the door. Knocking down people in the process like a football player would. "Ah got to get home," she mutters as she continues to have flashes of strange image dance in her head. She disappears into the night.
Emma feels the telepathic distress. "It seems manifestation has happened. It will only be a matter of time before Xavier detects it" she smiled at Mystique. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the institute the students sit in a control room, over looking the Danger Room watching Storm and Wolverine. He had tried to sneak into the institute. He had gotten by most of the security barriers but with much difficulty. He had finally made it to the ventilation system when Storm sent a gust of wind into it and blew him out into the Danger Room where plenty of laser weapons, flying blades, rolling balls and other dangerous obstacles started ramming into him as Storm continued to attack from the sky. Logan does quite a good job and is able to stop all of them even after being hit.
"Okay that will be enough" The Professor's voice could be heard and Logan stopped. "Everyone please remain in the control room" he said.
Logan smirked and nodded heading up to the control room as did Storm. "Now was that a demo or what Icecube" he said entering and punching Bobby in the arm who nodded.
Scott nodded. "Yeah hell of a job as always Logan" he said.
"Well when I do a demo, I do a demo, Slim" he smirked. "And I think I made my point, we're going to need a lot more defense" he said. "I'm talking about top grade laser systems, electric fencing, and poison gas" he said and Scott and Bobby nodded with interest.
"Like don't you people find it kind of weird that we need this stuff and do you have a nickname for everyone" she frowned.
"You bet Half Pint" Logan smirked.
Kurt teleported around the room listening and smiled. "And Fraulien besides vhat do you expect from a school who have people who can do things like this" he said teleporting beside her. "And this" he smirked teleporting to her other side.
"Like would you knock it off" she fumed and phased out the door.
"She is totally knock digging the fuzzy dude" Kurt sighed and Jean put a hand on him.
"Just give her time Kurt" Jean said when Xavier rolled in.
"Everyone suit up we have a mutant gone Rogue in Mississippi" he explained and they all nodded running off to get ready.
Soon they had all piled into the X-Jet and taken off. Kurt was in the pilot's chair, with Scott instructing him. "Professor I've logged our flight plan with the FAA" he said and the Professor nodded, from behind Scott. Kitty was sitting in the middle with Jean and Bobby, while Storm and Logan were both toward the back.
"You know Scott's kind of cute and so like put together and mature, very impressive" Kitty said to Jean.
Jean shrugged. "I'd say kind of stiff, and as for cute, well maybe in the right light" she said.
"Or if he played football" Bobby joked only to get smacked by Jean. Kitty laughed a bit.
Kurt listens to what Kitty says and sighs. But then smiles when he gets an idea. "Vatch this" he said and before anyone else said anything he teleported.
"Where'd he go" Scott asked then saw Kurt on the front nose of the plane outside as it flew. He was balancing on one foot.
"God damn it and they say I'm reckless" Logan grumbled.
Xavier saw as well and frowned. "Kurt get back in here now" he told the boy in his mind.
"Oh sorry sir" Kurt nodded and teleported in. When he reappeared he went flying and fell right on to Kitty.
"Get off me" Kitty squealed and Kurt did jus that.
"Sorry Kitty I didn't mean..." he began and she just glared at him.
"Like just leave me alone" she frowns and he walks away dejected to the back of the plane.
"Harsh Kitty, real harsh" Bobby frowns and he, Jean and Scott all give her looks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A little while later the X-Jet landed in a field outside a neighborhood and the X-Men got out. Xavier turned to them. "The girl's powers have just manifested so she will be very confused" he explained. "Be careful around her, contact with her skin will result in her knocking you out or maybe even killing you if contact last" he explained. "She also will acquire your memories and abilities," he said. "She already absorbed one boy who lives in this neighborhood. She might head to his home" he explained. "Do your best to bring her in quietly" he explained.
"Right Professor" Scott said and he and the students all nodded.
"Okay, Cyclops stay with me, we'll go on foot, while Iceman takes Marvel girl onto an ice bridge so she can scan for her from there and Storm head in by air, see if you can get a good view. Nightcrawler, Kitty, stay near Logan" Xavier ordered and they all went in to try and find the Rogue. Nearby Emma Frost hid and smiled.
"They're here" she said on a cell phone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rogue had run for hours. She had no idea where to go. But she kept having these flashes in her head. But these weren't her memories. "What's happening to me?" she cried then another flash came and she saw a house. She knew where it was but never been there before and it was close by. She runs straight there and goes for the door it is locked. For some reason she remembers a key is hidden in the low hanging gutter. She uses it to get inside.
Watching from a hidden spot are Irene and Mystique. "Please don't hurt her," Destiny pleaded. "I mean she is your..." She began.
"Don't worry Destiny, I would never risk hurting her. She has the potential to be unstoppable, I'm just going to make sure she joins the right side" she smirked then transformed into Wolverine and headed into the house.
Inside Rogue had wandered into a bedroom. In it there were pictures of Cody and trophies. She started to remember winning the trophies and when the pictures were from. "Is this me" she sighed and looked in the mirror. "But I don't look like this. Ahm so confused," she cried when she heard something. She looked up and saw an angry man dressed in army with metal claws. "Who are you?" she says as she trembles.
He glares at her. "Names Wolverine, of the X-Men. And your going down mutant" he said.
In terror Rogue runs past him and out the door. He smiles then changes into Storm. She had a strange device in her hand then chased after her.
Rogue ran out to the backyard and went toward the fence starting to climb. She looked back to see a black woman with white hair, and the X logo on her clothing look at her. "Oh mah god" she cried.
"Die mutant" Storm said and threw the device in her hands making it look like Lighting striking. Rogue jumped off the fence on the other side and ran to the street where Irene was standing.
"Rogue stop" Destiny said and Rogue stopped to listen.
"Irene something weird happened and now people are trying to kill me," she cried.
"Yes honey you're a mutant and they're the X-Men, mutant hunters, you have to get away from them. I've called for help, the Brotherhood is coming they are like you. Look for them they'll find you and help" she said. "Now run before more X-Men come" she explained.
Rogue nods when three people run up. It's Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Kitty. "Like that's her," Kitty says and they run over quickly. Rogue freaks at the sight of Wolverine. She runs off but Kitty tries to grab her, but only gets her glove.
Wolverine sniffs. "She's headed that way," he said. "Let's go" he says and runs after her to another yard, where she has stopped to catch her breath. He is about to enter when Kurt stops him.
"Herr Logan she seems terrified by you, maybe you should let me try," Kurt said and turned on his inducer and teleported before Logan could disagree.
"Fine you wait here half-pint, I'm going to get Chuck" he said and walked off.
"Like yeah right" Kitty frowned and phased through the fence.
In the mean time Kurt had teleported to a swing in the backyard Rogue was in. "Greetings Fraulein" he said swinging.
Rogue looked up. "Where'd you come from" she cried. "And what do you want."
Kurt smiled. "I teleport" he said then teleported behind her then back in front of her again. "Amazing jah. I'm a mutant like you and I want to help" he said looking quite sincere.
"Really" Rogue asked feeling more comfortable. She walked over to him.
Kitty was watching and saw Rogue approach Kurt. "She's attacking him. Wait not if I can help it" Kitty thought and ran straight at Rogue.
Rogue felt Kitty grab at her and got another one of Cody's memories. She flipped Kitty over. "You tricked me" Rogue gasped when Kurt tried to stop her from hurting Kitty. She grabbed his arm and hit the holo-watch causing it to short out, and Kurt's true form was expose. "Oh mah god a devil" she gasped and pushed him out of her way with her ungloved hand. She felt strange again and teleported.
"Oh my" Kurt moaned and passed out.
Kitty gasped at him and shook him. "Kurt" She sighed. "Come on don't be hurt. Please oh please be okay. Scare me, tickle me, show off anything," she cried but he didn't respond. "PROFESSOR HELP KURT WAS ATTACKED BY THAT GIRL" she called out with her mind.
Meanwhile the Professor was with Scott, they had met up with Bobby, Jean, and Storm.
"I can't seem to get a lock on her Professor, her mind seems so erratic" Jean sighed.
"Yes Jean, I've noticed that as well. I've tried to keep a lock on the boy's brainwaves but they seem to have gone dead-" he was cut off by Kitty's call and held his head. "Okay Kitty not so loud next time, don't worry we're coming" he told her. Then looked at the others. "The Rogue has absorbed Kurt's powers and memories, she is in the cemetery, go ahead, I'll meet you after I find Kitty and Kurt" he told them and they ran off to meet her.
Watching from the shadows was Toad. "Yeah she's in the cemetery yo," he said on the cell phone then got his orders and hopped off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rogue ended up teleporting to the cemetery. She looked around and started to mutter something in German. "Wait how did ah do that" she cried then held her head as she started to have flashes of Kurt's memory. She teleported again and reappeared under a large monument. "Wait I'm acting like that Kurt boy and before I was like that Cody boy" she said to herself then started to figure things to. "I touched both of them, they both fell and I started acting like them" she thought when she heard foot steps and turned to see a red-head girl wearing a green and black body suit. "What you want," she sobbed and through a flash of Kurt's memory saw this was Jean Grey, an X-Man. She became scared.
Jean walked over to her and spoke softly. "Look don't be scared, I just want to help. I know your confused and all. Your powers are just coming into being and you can't control them. My friends and I can help you," she said. "Maybe you don't want it now but if you do just use this to contact us" she said and handed her a little pen-like device. "It's a communicator," she said.
Rogue took it and nodded. "Well maybe ya can help" she said.
Jean smiled. "Oh look here are my friends," she said as Scott, Bobby, Storm walked over.
"You" Rogue said freaking out at Storm and running off. She went and hid behind another large monument.
"What was that all about" Bobby wondered.
"I'm not sure" Storm sighed.
"Well whatever it was it doesn't matter," Scott said. "Everyone pan out and look for her.
Meanwhile Mystique watched from the shadows and smirked. "Time to finish the job" she thought.
Rogue sat and tried to get her thoughts back together while she looked at the communicator. "That girl was so nice. What do the X-men want from me" she sighed. She heard footsteps and looked up to see Jean Grey wielding a large shovel. "Jean" she trembled confused.
"Well I tried to be nice but some people just won't be helped" she swinging the shovel at Rogue, who in turn closed her eyes and teleported over to another part of the cemetery. She turned a corner and ran into Cyclops.
"No one messes with the X-Men" he growled at her as he came closer. In fear she teleported again. This time she reappeared right outside of a crypt. "Oh mah god" She cried when she heard someone behind her glaring at her. It was another X-Man, Iceman. "Hey babe time to get iced" he snarled and raised a fist.
"Get away from me" Rogue cried and ran off into the cemetery. She kept running till she turned around to see if she was being followed and didn't see a small foot gravestone and tripped falling on the ground. "Ouch" she grumbled as she tried to get up. She looked at the ground and saw a shadow of a person behind her. "Don't hurt me" she cried turning around but saw a boy with a glass bowl on his head offering her a hand.
"You okay" the boy asked as he helped her up with her gloved hand. Another boy in Green, who was kind of hunched over.
"Yes but who are you" she trembled.
"I'm Avalanche and this is Toad. We're with the Brotherhood," he said. "Look we don't have much time. We've got to get you out of here before the X-Men come" he said.
"Yeah yo they're dangerous" Toad nodded.
Rogue thought. Irene had told her the Brotherhood would help her. "Okay, let's go" she said.
Near by Bobby Drake had spotted them. "Hey guys, they're she is and the Brotherhood's got her" he said then fired an ice blast that threw both Toad and Avalanche off their feet.
Jean heard Bobby and rushed over to Rogue. "Rogue are you okay," she asked.
Rogue looked at her with fear then anger. "You ain't foolin me again" she said and took her ungloved hand to Jean's face and grabbed it. She felt herself get flooded with the same sensation as before and she rose into the air with her hands on her head. Pieces of chipped off gravestones and rocks flew all around the cemetery.
Bobby ducked from being hit and ran over to the knocked out Jean. "Damn it Jeanie be okay" he said and began to carry her out of harms way. "Professor she's got Jean's powers" he said mentally as the Professor, Kitty and Logan, who was carrying Kurt, entered.
"Okay just get her to a safe place," he said. "Storm, Scott try and stop her but don't hurt her, and watch out for the Brotherhood. Wolverine get in there" he said.
"Right Chuck" he said and handed Kurt to Kitty who held him tight with worry in her eyes. Logan opened up his claws and ran in but was suddenly tackled by Sabretooth. The two started to go at it.
Storm rose up to meet Rogue. "Please relax and let us help you" Storm said. "Take my hand, I'll help you control this," She said.
In her confusion Rogue ended up grabbing Storm's hand with her ungloved hand and drained her. Storm fell to the ground only being caught at the last minute by Scott.
Still in the sky Rogue's eyes began to glow and she used Storms powers without control, starting a lighting storm with strong winds. "What's happening to me?" She said as it began to hale.
"Relax I can help you" a female voice said in her head.
"Who are you" Rogue called out.
"A friend, call me Emma" she said. "Relax."
Rogue started to try, but it was so hard to concentrate with Kurt, Jean, and Storm's thoughts in her head. She was so confused as her storm continued to punish those on the ground. Wolverine and Sabretooth just ignored it. But Bobby was trying his best to shield Jean and Kitty kept a hand on both the Professor and Kurt keeping them in a state of intangibility, but it was starting to strain. Scott held Storm and sighed.
"I'm sorry Professor" he said then fired a hard laser blast at Rogue causing her to fall to the ground.
"It is okay, but go see if she's all right" Xavier told him as the Storm let up.
Scott nodded and started to run to Rogue but the ground began to shake and a crack in the ground broke out in Scott's path. "What the hell" he said then saw Avalanche shaking the ground in front of him while Toad started to carry Rogue away. "Oh no you don't" Scott said, determination in voice as he hopped over to attack Lance but a burst of flames came from Pyro. He had a whole fuel pack on his back with blowtorches on his arms.
"Can't take us both on mate" he laughed manically and sent a flaming bird, which soared over to Scott. Scott had to fall to the ground not to be hit.
"Come on let's move, we've got what we came for," Emma yelled from the far end of the cemetery. Toad hopped off with Rogue, and Pyro and Avalanche nodded, running off after him. Sabretooth grumbles but then hops off Logan and follows after into the shadows.
Scott got up and walked over to the Professor. Bobby had already come back with Jean, and a very peeved Logan was holding Storm. All three slowly were coming too.
"Sir do we go after them" Scott asked.
Xavier shook his head. "No we have our own to tend to" he said.
"But the Brotherhood has her" he protested.
"Maybe but they are long gone and we just have to try to reach her in the future" the Professor explained and Scott and Logan nodded but reluctantly.
In the mean time Kurt started to awaken. "Vhat happened. Did I miss all the vun" Kurt yawned.
"Your okay" Kitty squealed with joy and grabbed him. "Oh I'm so glad your okay you fuzzy elf" she hugged him.
"Vow I did miss a lot" Kurt grinned as he smiled back at Kitty.
"Indeed and we'll explain it all on the ride home" he said and headed in the direction of the jet. Bobby carried Jean and smirked at Scott.
"So Scott want to carry Jean," He grinned.
Scott took a look at Jean. She was so beautiful. He was so tempted to but shook his head. "Nah some exercise will do you good" he said and walked past him. Bobby rolled his eyes and they all followed the Professor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Next Day Principal Darkholme is back in her office doing her meaningless paper work when her window blasts open. "I see you and your recruits were successful in your efforts, I am very impressed, she will make an excellent addition" a man said in the shadows.
"Well I appreciate that you have noticed" Darkholme nodded and smiled.
"But are you sure that any positive memories of the X-men have been flushed from the Rogue's mind" he asked.
"Emma assures me they are absolutely gone" Darkholme nodded.
As she says this Rogue wanders the hall alone with her hands in her pockets. She feels something and takes it out. It's the communicator. She examines it, not sure what it is. She shrugs and puts it back into her pocket thinking it might be important and then continues till she entered into a room where the Brotherhood members were hanging.
Okay another section done. Thanks for all of the reviews. As for Marrow I might do her but I also might do Moonstar, I haven't decided. If I do Moonstar I'll add another boy like Spyke or Thundy III or maybe Sunfire. Though any other suggestions are welcome. As for Thunderbird I, I have other things in mind for him. Anyway the next chapter will be up in a few days since I've got a big test on Monday. As always READ and RESPOND.
In the dead of night a woman tosses and turns in her sleep as she dreams. But unlike the average person, for her these dreams aren't your everyday dreams. They are visions of the future. She sees a boy go over to a girl and ask her to dance she is reluctant but decided to. They get real close and he kisses her on the cheek but something happens. He falls to the ground and she screams and horror.
The woman awakens from her sleep and her milky white eyes open. "She's going to manifest" the woman cried. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time hundreds of miles northeast it is quiet in Bayville. The whole town is asleep, well except for one house in particular, the Bayville Boarding House. In the main living room four people sit around. A blond girl sits in an easy chair with her feet up reading a newspaper called the Wall Street Journal, and sipping tea. Another orange haired boy leans against the wall flicking a lighter on and off incessantly, while two other boys sit and watch TV.
"You know could you please stop with that stupid lighter" Emma Frost frowned looking up from her newspaper.
"Sorry luv can't help it, it's brand new and I have to get used to it" Pyro explained. "I want to ready for next time we deal with that Iceman. I can't believe he froze my favorite lighter" he frowned.
Emma rolled her eyes with disinterest. "Well I want to get Grey too but you don't see me annoying everyone because of it" she frowned. "Patience is a virtue anyway," she explained.
"Patience my ass" Lance snapped from over on the couch. He threw down the remote in frustration. "I've been here for days and all I've seen you two do is complain about the red-head witch and the little Popsicle all day" he snapped.
"Little Popsicle that's rich" Pyro began to laugh.
"Shut up, I'm not finished. What I want to know is why are we just sitting here instead of kicking their butts. I want action now" he frowned.
"Yo it's not that easy. I tried and not only did I have to deal with a blue fuzz ball, but the whole team came after me" he said. "And all that security would tell them we're coming man" Todd said.
"Well I rather take my chances and fight then just hang around here" he frowned.
Emma rolled her eyes as she sipped her tea. "Oh don't worry you'll have school tomorrow darling" she explained. "And besides Lord Magneto wouldn't want one of his newest members getting themselves beaten down" she reminded him.
Lance frowned. "Oh yeah well I'd like to meet this guy. Where the hell is he, it seems we never see him."
"Lord Magneto has better things to do then converse with a mindless thug like yourself" Emma shrugged. "You should know your place Alvers. He might hear you."
Lance frowned and made the room shake spilling Emma's tea. "My place, I'm not taking anymore crap from this guy. I mean how do we even know he's really all that powerful. If he wants me to work for me he better show himself now" Lance roared.
An angry Emma was about to get up when suddenly every metal object in the room began to shake. The metal fireplace cage was torn off and flew at Lance. It wrapped tight around him. "Avalanche, I am Magneto," a voice roared from the shadows. "You will know your place" he roared and put pressure on the cage wrapped around Lance. "Now I will give you a choice. Serve me unconditionally and I will give you power, or choose not to serve me and perish like humanity" he growled.
Lance grunted. "I- I'm with you" he yelled. The cage was pulled off from around him and he fell to his knees as he tried to catch his breath. "Forgive me sir," he said.
"You are forgiven. This time" the voice said then it was gone.
"Warned you" Emma smirked as Lance frowned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is morning at that same house in which the woman with the visions lives. She is blind thus she has black sunglasses on. She sits at her kitchen table drinking coffee when she hears footsteps. "Ah my little Rogue, you are headed off to school I assume" She asked.
A girl had indeed entered she had a lot of dark make-up on and is covered up from head to toe in green and black gothic clothing. "Yeah Irene, and ahm running late" she said. "But before I go I was wonderin, well ya see there's this dance and well."
Irene took a deep breath and sighed. "Yes you can go," she said.
Rogue smiled and ran over to Irene. "Oh thank you Irene, I promise I won't be too late" she smiled. "Got to go" she said and ran off to school.
Irene sat at the table and sighed. She got up and grabbed her cane walking over to the phone and started to dial. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile back in Bayville, school is just about to start as the Xavier institute students walk down the halls of the high school together. A terrified Kitty is in the middle. "Like oh my god I hate being the new kid" she sighed.
"Oh relax Kitty, you have Math, History and Earth Science with Bobby, Chemistry with Scott, Art with Kurt, Gym with me and Lunch with all of us. Besides you'll do just fine" Jean assured her.
"Well like okay I'm just glad we're all...." Kitty began
"Hey Jean" a voice said. They saw Duncan Matthews waving and a bunch other football players and girls calling over to her.
"Oh got to go" Jean said and rushed off.
"...Together" Kitty sighed. "So does she always do this?" she asked. She noticed Scott was quite annoyed by what had happened.
Bobby looked at his watch and smirked. "Right on cue" he said. "Ehh don't worry the rest of us are hopeless losers. Only Jean hangs out with the almighty popular people" he joked.
Kitty began to laugh. "Well I guess I can like live with that.
"Great then ve're all losers together" Kurt said putting his arms around them. Kitty phased out. She still was kind of freaked out about Kurt being the way he was, despite the fact he had the holo-watch on. Kurt sighed and walked away and Bobby was about to go after him when Kitty interrupted him.
Kitty had continued walking when she had spotted of all people Lance Alvers. "Like eww what's he doing here" she frowned as she looked over and saw him standing against some lockers with Pyro and Toad.
Bobby walked over next to her. "Wait Kitty who are you... "He began to ask when he saw for himself "Alvers is here and of all people he's with Pyro" Bobby frowned as he looked to see two of his least favorite people actually acting quite friendly. Bobby marched over there with Kitty trailing him.
Scott walked over with them. He had been quiet for most of the morning, a little annoyed by Jean's choice of friends. He had been concerned about Kurt and thought about going to talk to him. But the prospect of another Brotherhood member or two, with Toad being there, troubled him. Even more so that Bobby and Kitty were going over there. "I better keep an eye on those two" he thought and kept a little bit of distance, knowing Bobby's ego.
Lance looked up and saw them coming over and grinned. "Hey boys if it isn't some good friends of mine. Never thought you'd see me again huh Kitty-Kat" Lance laughed until Kitty slapped him. Lance went to make a move but was held back by Pyro and Toad.
"Easy mate" Pyro said.
"Like how dare you show your face around here, you should be in jail you thug" Kitty fumed.
"Well at least he's in the right company" Bobby snapped looking at Pyro.
"Ehh forget easy" Pyro frowned. "I say we waste them right now" he said flicking his lighter a bit.
Kitty became a bit nervous at his threat but stood her ground. "Like we're not afraid of you are we Bobby" She asked.
Bobby shook his head. "Hell no, I'll just freeze that lighter like I did last time" he laughed and Kitty did as well.
Pyro fumed at this and the two were about to go at it when Scott walked in between them. "Come on guys, forget them they're not worth it" he said.
"Shove it Summers" Todd said.
"Oh didn't see you there hiding behind your new friends, guess your with them huh Tolensky" Scott asked.
"Righteo mates, your not the only one's who can get recruits. And ours aren't naïve enough to listen to that weak old man" Pyro smirked.
Scott took a deep breath but then just turned around and walked away. "Come on you two," he said to Bobby and Kitty and they left the Brotherhood down the hall.
"Well at least Emma wasn't with them" Bobby said. "Bet that traitor can't stand to be seen in public with them" he joked.
"What do you mean traitor?" Kitty asked. She knew Emma Frost was part of the Brotherhood but not much else.
Bobby and Scott looked at each other and back at Kitty. "It's nothing Kitty" Scott said not wanting to get into the old story. "Anyway I've got class" he said and walked off quickly.
Kitty turned to Bobby. "Like yeah right, what are you guys keeping from me" she frowned.
Bobby became nervous. "Uhh nothing really and besides we got class now" he said and began to rush off. Kitty chased after him continuing to question him as the bell rung.
Meanwhile in the Principals office Raven Darkholme is sitting at her desk doing meaningless paper work. "Sometimes I wonder why I do this job" she frowns when her phone rings. She answers. "Hello Raven Darkholme."
"Raven, it's Irene. I had a vision. Tonight she will manifest. At the dance" she told her.
Raven almost dropped the phone. After so long waiting it was going to happen. "Okay Irene, I'll be there as soon as I can," she said hanging up. "Doris call in Emma Frost" she said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that evening a small group of people stand waiting in the reeds of a Mississippi bayou that overlooks a large house on the water. From the house loud music is playing as a dance goes on inside. They are all wearing strange costumes; one even has a glass bowl on his head.
"So what are we doing here?" Lance Alvers asked. "Are we just going to sit here" he frowned looking over at Mystique and the others. Pyro is playing with his lighter again. Todd is taking in the atmosphere including all the bugs, while Sabretooth and Emma both fold their arms looking impatient.
"Though I hate to admit it I have to agree with Avalanche. "I mean we're here to get another mutant. You say she's in there, so why don't we go and get her already" she frowned at Mystique. She was quite tempted to just read her mind.
"Because, she is about to manifest and she will be confused. The X-men will detect it and rush down here to recruit her. She'll be frightened and scared and I intend to use that to make sure the X-men look absolutely terrifying to her. Then you all get to swoop in for the rescue. Understand now," she asked.
Lance and Emma exchanged evil grins and nodded then set their eyes on the dance.
Out on the deck railing the girl known only as Rogue stands alone and reflects. She was really hoping one of the boys would ask her to dance.
Watching her are two boys one a round blond boy, and another boy skinnier with brown hair. They both have football jackets.
"Go on Cody" the skinnier boy said and pushed the blond boy ahead into Rogue's direction. Rogue hears and turns to see him.
"Can ah help ya," she asked.
"Yeah uh I was wonderin if ya liked to dance" Cody said nervously.
Rogue shrugged. "Yeah ah guess so. Sure" she smiled and took his hand with her gloved hand. They started to dance and soon a slow dance came on and they became closer. She was really enjoying it and hoped for a kiss. She would soon regret that wish, when he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. She pushed away and held her head. She felt so strange. She looked and saw him passed out on the floor. "Oh mah god" she screams as everyone stares at them. She holds her head and has a flash of Cody playing football then freaks and runs out the door. Knocking down people in the process like a football player would. "Ah got to get home," she mutters as she continues to have flashes of strange image dance in her head. She disappears into the night.
Emma feels the telepathic distress. "It seems manifestation has happened. It will only be a matter of time before Xavier detects it" she smiled at Mystique. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the institute the students sit in a control room, over looking the Danger Room watching Storm and Wolverine. He had tried to sneak into the institute. He had gotten by most of the security barriers but with much difficulty. He had finally made it to the ventilation system when Storm sent a gust of wind into it and blew him out into the Danger Room where plenty of laser weapons, flying blades, rolling balls and other dangerous obstacles started ramming into him as Storm continued to attack from the sky. Logan does quite a good job and is able to stop all of them even after being hit.
"Okay that will be enough" The Professor's voice could be heard and Logan stopped. "Everyone please remain in the control room" he said.
Logan smirked and nodded heading up to the control room as did Storm. "Now was that a demo or what Icecube" he said entering and punching Bobby in the arm who nodded.
Scott nodded. "Yeah hell of a job as always Logan" he said.
"Well when I do a demo, I do a demo, Slim" he smirked. "And I think I made my point, we're going to need a lot more defense" he said. "I'm talking about top grade laser systems, electric fencing, and poison gas" he said and Scott and Bobby nodded with interest.
"Like don't you people find it kind of weird that we need this stuff and do you have a nickname for everyone" she frowned.
"You bet Half Pint" Logan smirked.
Kurt teleported around the room listening and smiled. "And Fraulien besides vhat do you expect from a school who have people who can do things like this" he said teleporting beside her. "And this" he smirked teleporting to her other side.
"Like would you knock it off" she fumed and phased out the door.
"She is totally knock digging the fuzzy dude" Kurt sighed and Jean put a hand on him.
"Just give her time Kurt" Jean said when Xavier rolled in.
"Everyone suit up we have a mutant gone Rogue in Mississippi" he explained and they all nodded running off to get ready.
Soon they had all piled into the X-Jet and taken off. Kurt was in the pilot's chair, with Scott instructing him. "Professor I've logged our flight plan with the FAA" he said and the Professor nodded, from behind Scott. Kitty was sitting in the middle with Jean and Bobby, while Storm and Logan were both toward the back.
"You know Scott's kind of cute and so like put together and mature, very impressive" Kitty said to Jean.
Jean shrugged. "I'd say kind of stiff, and as for cute, well maybe in the right light" she said.
"Or if he played football" Bobby joked only to get smacked by Jean. Kitty laughed a bit.
Kurt listens to what Kitty says and sighs. But then smiles when he gets an idea. "Vatch this" he said and before anyone else said anything he teleported.
"Where'd he go" Scott asked then saw Kurt on the front nose of the plane outside as it flew. He was balancing on one foot.
"God damn it and they say I'm reckless" Logan grumbled.
Xavier saw as well and frowned. "Kurt get back in here now" he told the boy in his mind.
"Oh sorry sir" Kurt nodded and teleported in. When he reappeared he went flying and fell right on to Kitty.
"Get off me" Kitty squealed and Kurt did jus that.
"Sorry Kitty I didn't mean..." he began and she just glared at him.
"Like just leave me alone" she frowns and he walks away dejected to the back of the plane.
"Harsh Kitty, real harsh" Bobby frowns and he, Jean and Scott all give her looks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A little while later the X-Jet landed in a field outside a neighborhood and the X-Men got out. Xavier turned to them. "The girl's powers have just manifested so she will be very confused" he explained. "Be careful around her, contact with her skin will result in her knocking you out or maybe even killing you if contact last" he explained. "She also will acquire your memories and abilities," he said. "She already absorbed one boy who lives in this neighborhood. She might head to his home" he explained. "Do your best to bring her in quietly" he explained.
"Right Professor" Scott said and he and the students all nodded.
"Okay, Cyclops stay with me, we'll go on foot, while Iceman takes Marvel girl onto an ice bridge so she can scan for her from there and Storm head in by air, see if you can get a good view. Nightcrawler, Kitty, stay near Logan" Xavier ordered and they all went in to try and find the Rogue. Nearby Emma Frost hid and smiled.
"They're here" she said on a cell phone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rogue had run for hours. She had no idea where to go. But she kept having these flashes in her head. But these weren't her memories. "What's happening to me?" she cried then another flash came and she saw a house. She knew where it was but never been there before and it was close by. She runs straight there and goes for the door it is locked. For some reason she remembers a key is hidden in the low hanging gutter. She uses it to get inside.
Watching from a hidden spot are Irene and Mystique. "Please don't hurt her," Destiny pleaded. "I mean she is your..." She began.
"Don't worry Destiny, I would never risk hurting her. She has the potential to be unstoppable, I'm just going to make sure she joins the right side" she smirked then transformed into Wolverine and headed into the house.
Inside Rogue had wandered into a bedroom. In it there were pictures of Cody and trophies. She started to remember winning the trophies and when the pictures were from. "Is this me" she sighed and looked in the mirror. "But I don't look like this. Ahm so confused," she cried when she heard something. She looked up and saw an angry man dressed in army with metal claws. "Who are you?" she says as she trembles.
He glares at her. "Names Wolverine, of the X-Men. And your going down mutant" he said.
In terror Rogue runs past him and out the door. He smiles then changes into Storm. She had a strange device in her hand then chased after her.
Rogue ran out to the backyard and went toward the fence starting to climb. She looked back to see a black woman with white hair, and the X logo on her clothing look at her. "Oh mah god" she cried.
"Die mutant" Storm said and threw the device in her hands making it look like Lighting striking. Rogue jumped off the fence on the other side and ran to the street where Irene was standing.
"Rogue stop" Destiny said and Rogue stopped to listen.
"Irene something weird happened and now people are trying to kill me," she cried.
"Yes honey you're a mutant and they're the X-Men, mutant hunters, you have to get away from them. I've called for help, the Brotherhood is coming they are like you. Look for them they'll find you and help" she said. "Now run before more X-Men come" she explained.
Rogue nods when three people run up. It's Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Kitty. "Like that's her," Kitty says and they run over quickly. Rogue freaks at the sight of Wolverine. She runs off but Kitty tries to grab her, but only gets her glove.
Wolverine sniffs. "She's headed that way," he said. "Let's go" he says and runs after her to another yard, where she has stopped to catch her breath. He is about to enter when Kurt stops him.
"Herr Logan she seems terrified by you, maybe you should let me try," Kurt said and turned on his inducer and teleported before Logan could disagree.
"Fine you wait here half-pint, I'm going to get Chuck" he said and walked off.
"Like yeah right" Kitty frowned and phased through the fence.
In the mean time Kurt had teleported to a swing in the backyard Rogue was in. "Greetings Fraulein" he said swinging.
Rogue looked up. "Where'd you come from" she cried. "And what do you want."
Kurt smiled. "I teleport" he said then teleported behind her then back in front of her again. "Amazing jah. I'm a mutant like you and I want to help" he said looking quite sincere.
"Really" Rogue asked feeling more comfortable. She walked over to him.
Kitty was watching and saw Rogue approach Kurt. "She's attacking him. Wait not if I can help it" Kitty thought and ran straight at Rogue.
Rogue felt Kitty grab at her and got another one of Cody's memories. She flipped Kitty over. "You tricked me" Rogue gasped when Kurt tried to stop her from hurting Kitty. She grabbed his arm and hit the holo-watch causing it to short out, and Kurt's true form was expose. "Oh mah god a devil" she gasped and pushed him out of her way with her ungloved hand. She felt strange again and teleported.
"Oh my" Kurt moaned and passed out.
Kitty gasped at him and shook him. "Kurt" She sighed. "Come on don't be hurt. Please oh please be okay. Scare me, tickle me, show off anything," she cried but he didn't respond. "PROFESSOR HELP KURT WAS ATTACKED BY THAT GIRL" she called out with her mind.
Meanwhile the Professor was with Scott, they had met up with Bobby, Jean, and Storm.
"I can't seem to get a lock on her Professor, her mind seems so erratic" Jean sighed.
"Yes Jean, I've noticed that as well. I've tried to keep a lock on the boy's brainwaves but they seem to have gone dead-" he was cut off by Kitty's call and held his head. "Okay Kitty not so loud next time, don't worry we're coming" he told her. Then looked at the others. "The Rogue has absorbed Kurt's powers and memories, she is in the cemetery, go ahead, I'll meet you after I find Kitty and Kurt" he told them and they ran off to meet her.
Watching from the shadows was Toad. "Yeah she's in the cemetery yo," he said on the cell phone then got his orders and hopped off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rogue ended up teleporting to the cemetery. She looked around and started to mutter something in German. "Wait how did ah do that" she cried then held her head as she started to have flashes of Kurt's memory. She teleported again and reappeared under a large monument. "Wait I'm acting like that Kurt boy and before I was like that Cody boy" she said to herself then started to figure things to. "I touched both of them, they both fell and I started acting like them" she thought when she heard foot steps and turned to see a red-head girl wearing a green and black body suit. "What you want," she sobbed and through a flash of Kurt's memory saw this was Jean Grey, an X-Man. She became scared.
Jean walked over to her and spoke softly. "Look don't be scared, I just want to help. I know your confused and all. Your powers are just coming into being and you can't control them. My friends and I can help you," she said. "Maybe you don't want it now but if you do just use this to contact us" she said and handed her a little pen-like device. "It's a communicator," she said.
Rogue took it and nodded. "Well maybe ya can help" she said.
Jean smiled. "Oh look here are my friends," she said as Scott, Bobby, Storm walked over.
"You" Rogue said freaking out at Storm and running off. She went and hid behind another large monument.
"What was that all about" Bobby wondered.
"I'm not sure" Storm sighed.
"Well whatever it was it doesn't matter," Scott said. "Everyone pan out and look for her.
Meanwhile Mystique watched from the shadows and smirked. "Time to finish the job" she thought.
Rogue sat and tried to get her thoughts back together while she looked at the communicator. "That girl was so nice. What do the X-men want from me" she sighed. She heard footsteps and looked up to see Jean Grey wielding a large shovel. "Jean" she trembled confused.
"Well I tried to be nice but some people just won't be helped" she swinging the shovel at Rogue, who in turn closed her eyes and teleported over to another part of the cemetery. She turned a corner and ran into Cyclops.
"No one messes with the X-Men" he growled at her as he came closer. In fear she teleported again. This time she reappeared right outside of a crypt. "Oh mah god" She cried when she heard someone behind her glaring at her. It was another X-Man, Iceman. "Hey babe time to get iced" he snarled and raised a fist.
"Get away from me" Rogue cried and ran off into the cemetery. She kept running till she turned around to see if she was being followed and didn't see a small foot gravestone and tripped falling on the ground. "Ouch" she grumbled as she tried to get up. She looked at the ground and saw a shadow of a person behind her. "Don't hurt me" she cried turning around but saw a boy with a glass bowl on his head offering her a hand.
"You okay" the boy asked as he helped her up with her gloved hand. Another boy in Green, who was kind of hunched over.
"Yes but who are you" she trembled.
"I'm Avalanche and this is Toad. We're with the Brotherhood," he said. "Look we don't have much time. We've got to get you out of here before the X-Men come" he said.
"Yeah yo they're dangerous" Toad nodded.
Rogue thought. Irene had told her the Brotherhood would help her. "Okay, let's go" she said.
Near by Bobby Drake had spotted them. "Hey guys, they're she is and the Brotherhood's got her" he said then fired an ice blast that threw both Toad and Avalanche off their feet.
Jean heard Bobby and rushed over to Rogue. "Rogue are you okay," she asked.
Rogue looked at her with fear then anger. "You ain't foolin me again" she said and took her ungloved hand to Jean's face and grabbed it. She felt herself get flooded with the same sensation as before and she rose into the air with her hands on her head. Pieces of chipped off gravestones and rocks flew all around the cemetery.
Bobby ducked from being hit and ran over to the knocked out Jean. "Damn it Jeanie be okay" he said and began to carry her out of harms way. "Professor she's got Jean's powers" he said mentally as the Professor, Kitty and Logan, who was carrying Kurt, entered.
"Okay just get her to a safe place," he said. "Storm, Scott try and stop her but don't hurt her, and watch out for the Brotherhood. Wolverine get in there" he said.
"Right Chuck" he said and handed Kurt to Kitty who held him tight with worry in her eyes. Logan opened up his claws and ran in but was suddenly tackled by Sabretooth. The two started to go at it.
Storm rose up to meet Rogue. "Please relax and let us help you" Storm said. "Take my hand, I'll help you control this," She said.
In her confusion Rogue ended up grabbing Storm's hand with her ungloved hand and drained her. Storm fell to the ground only being caught at the last minute by Scott.
Still in the sky Rogue's eyes began to glow and she used Storms powers without control, starting a lighting storm with strong winds. "What's happening to me?" She said as it began to hale.
"Relax I can help you" a female voice said in her head.
"Who are you" Rogue called out.
"A friend, call me Emma" she said. "Relax."
Rogue started to try, but it was so hard to concentrate with Kurt, Jean, and Storm's thoughts in her head. She was so confused as her storm continued to punish those on the ground. Wolverine and Sabretooth just ignored it. But Bobby was trying his best to shield Jean and Kitty kept a hand on both the Professor and Kurt keeping them in a state of intangibility, but it was starting to strain. Scott held Storm and sighed.
"I'm sorry Professor" he said then fired a hard laser blast at Rogue causing her to fall to the ground.
"It is okay, but go see if she's all right" Xavier told him as the Storm let up.
Scott nodded and started to run to Rogue but the ground began to shake and a crack in the ground broke out in Scott's path. "What the hell" he said then saw Avalanche shaking the ground in front of him while Toad started to carry Rogue away. "Oh no you don't" Scott said, determination in voice as he hopped over to attack Lance but a burst of flames came from Pyro. He had a whole fuel pack on his back with blowtorches on his arms.
"Can't take us both on mate" he laughed manically and sent a flaming bird, which soared over to Scott. Scott had to fall to the ground not to be hit.
"Come on let's move, we've got what we came for," Emma yelled from the far end of the cemetery. Toad hopped off with Rogue, and Pyro and Avalanche nodded, running off after him. Sabretooth grumbles but then hops off Logan and follows after into the shadows.
Scott got up and walked over to the Professor. Bobby had already come back with Jean, and a very peeved Logan was holding Storm. All three slowly were coming too.
"Sir do we go after them" Scott asked.
Xavier shook his head. "No we have our own to tend to" he said.
"But the Brotherhood has her" he protested.
"Maybe but they are long gone and we just have to try to reach her in the future" the Professor explained and Scott and Logan nodded but reluctantly.
In the mean time Kurt started to awaken. "Vhat happened. Did I miss all the vun" Kurt yawned.
"Your okay" Kitty squealed with joy and grabbed him. "Oh I'm so glad your okay you fuzzy elf" she hugged him.
"Vow I did miss a lot" Kurt grinned as he smiled back at Kitty.
"Indeed and we'll explain it all on the ride home" he said and headed in the direction of the jet. Bobby carried Jean and smirked at Scott.
"So Scott want to carry Jean," He grinned.
Scott took a look at Jean. She was so beautiful. He was so tempted to but shook his head. "Nah some exercise will do you good" he said and walked past him. Bobby rolled his eyes and they all followed the Professor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Next Day Principal Darkholme is back in her office doing her meaningless paper work when her window blasts open. "I see you and your recruits were successful in your efforts, I am very impressed, she will make an excellent addition" a man said in the shadows.
"Well I appreciate that you have noticed" Darkholme nodded and smiled.
"But are you sure that any positive memories of the X-men have been flushed from the Rogue's mind" he asked.
"Emma assures me they are absolutely gone" Darkholme nodded.
As she says this Rogue wanders the hall alone with her hands in her pockets. She feels something and takes it out. It's the communicator. She examines it, not sure what it is. She shrugs and puts it back into her pocket thinking it might be important and then continues till she entered into a room where the Brotherhood members were hanging.
Okay another section done. Thanks for all of the reviews. As for Marrow I might do her but I also might do Moonstar, I haven't decided. If I do Moonstar I'll add another boy like Spyke or Thundy III or maybe Sunfire. Though any other suggestions are welcome. As for Thunderbird I, I have other things in mind for him. Anyway the next chapter will be up in a few days since I've got a big test on Monday. As always READ and RESPOND.
