Sorry I haven't updated for a bit. Anyway I'm late for work AGAIN lol. So here's a quick review.
Rose- Well at the moment Sinister has used a secret mutant to put them in a kind of "dream land" to what would be if Apocalypse was defeated. But Apocalypse will soon get his hands on Rogue.
Anne- Thanks that's very nice of you. Please review againXxX
tinuviel-telcontar- Lol well she's really excited to be at the Xavier Mansion. I guess her throat is just made for her personality lol. Thanks for reviewingXxX
mazdamiatta- No Jean never went anywhere, she's been turned to a dark side of her personality by Oracle. Well in the comics Jubilee is part of a team called Generation X which was founded by Xavier who made Emma and Sean the head of it. Jubilee has never been in the Xavier mansion before so she's excited. Rogue's in another dimension with Remy. You're on the right track and thank you for your long reviews which I really enjoy reading.
LEDIABLEBLANCTHE2ND- Thanks you also for your review. You're very sweet.

Lois was watching Sabretooth play with a coin, flipping it into the air and catching it in his hand. She was sat on a barrel in her prison while he was sat on a chair with his legs up on a desk. He had been flipping the coin for ages and it was really starting to get on her nerves.
"Can't ya find some yarn to play with instead? It doesn't make a noise and it's soft. Cats like soft things right?" offended Lois sarcastically. Sabretooth flipped the coin and caught it in his hand. This time he closed his hand with the coin inside it. He looked at Lois.
"Ya not makin' my job any easier, so why doncha shut up!" he shouted. He started to flip the coin again.
"I hate cats." said Lois. Sabretooth growled to himself. "I love dogs though, there all cuddly and cute. And ya know what else I love, I love hamsters. I don't know why, I just think small things are cute. Fish are okay, but when I got my first fish t thought it was like a dog so took it out of its tank and started to stroke it. Then I put it on the ground and threw a ball for it to go catch. I was two though so I didn't realise what I was-"
"-For the love of God will ya shut up!" shouted Sabretooth. Lois smiled to herself.
"I didn't know you were a holy man." said Lois. Sabretooth growled. "Ya don't have to stay here and baby-sit me ya know."
"I have no choice."
"Ya know, people like you always end up with the choices." said Lois. "I bet one day you will come to an end of a line, and you will have to make a choice. For example to become good and live, or stay bad and die."
"I don't know what the fuck you're talking 'bout, but I'm warning you to shut up!" shouted Sabretooth.
"Does every sentence you say end with shut up?" Sabretooth got up immediately and growled loudly at Lois, who seemed totally unaffected. "Hey I asked for the news not the weather."
"You are a cynical bitch ya know that!"
"That's me for you." she said. "I didn't know the big bad kitty cat knew such a smart word like 'cynical." mocked Lois. Sabretooth just growled.
Xavier's Mansion
Outskirts Of New York
4.56pm
"So you wanna get through the force field?" asked Emma. Emma, Sean, Xavier, Ororo, Logan, Bobby, Kitty, Bishop, "Jean" and Scott were in the rec room discussing there first means of attack.
"Yes, but first we must put together a team of strong mutants. Maybe then we can find a way to destroy Apocalypse." said Xavier.
"But Professor that is suicide!" shouted Scott.
"There is no other way." said Xavier.
"Charles I know there is another way. I know that we want the end of Apocalypse, but if we walk right into his vessel…well me thinks ya know the answer to that 'un." said Sean.
"Then how do you want to approach this?" asked Xavier.
"I say that we do weaken his force field." said Ororo. "But I do not recommend going into the actual vessel."
"So we shut down the force field…then what?" asked Logan. "Wait until he's so powerful and then attack him! Come on guys, we got a guy from the future who says we all die, is that any wonder with your suicide plans!"
"I know Logan, but we can't like, do much else. We don't know what his plan is." said Kitty. "We know he wants Lorna to power up his vessels."
"I know his next plan…" whispered the Professor deep in thought. The X Men turned to him.
"What?"
"I think I know his next plan." said Xavier. "He needs a life supply to give him his energy. He wanted Wanda, he still might be using her, but I know a powerful mutant who has all the energy he needs."
The X Men looked round at each other. Bishop however smiled, he knew the past more than anyone. His grandparents had been told by their grandparents and so on. He knew every stage of the rising of Apocalypse and how he won.
"Rogue." he said. Everyone turned to Bishop in shock, except the Professor who already guessed.
"What!" shouted Logan.
"Rogue?" asked Bobby.
"It was inevitable." said "Jean". Scott turned to her.
"What do you mean?"
"Well she can have any power, be anyone she wants by one simple touch. Imagine all that energy in her right now. Apocalypse already knows of the girl." said Jean. She then realised what she said. "Well I think he does anyway."
"No, he can't use Rogue, she's just a kid!" Logan shouted. Ororo put a hand on Logan's shoulder.
"She's 19 Logan."
"So, she's still a teenager! Bishop, what happens to her, does she die, Jean saw a vision, she said she saw all our graves and Rogue's!" shouted Logan hysterically as he shook Bishop back and forth. Bishop pushed him back.
"…I'm afraid so. Most of the X Men die." said Bishop.
"But how Bishop, how does Rogue die!"
"…Rogue in my time is but just one of the greatest X Men legends. I am afraid that I cannot reveal all the future to you. But I do know that she will always be a good person, and she died for the world." explained Bishop softly. Logan stepped away.
"I have a strong feeling Rogue's in big trouble." said Kitty.
"We have to go to the caves again." said Logan. "NOW!"
"Logan-"
"I can't fucking believe that you Storm and Bobby let her stay there!" shouted Logan.
"Excuse me Logan, but I was unconscious at the time!" shouted Ororo.
"Yeah and there's no point on pointing blame at me, we didn't think it was that big. Besides we couldn't just leave Gambit there to die!" shouted Bobby.
"But you knew Apocalypse wanted her for something!" shouted Logan.
"Well I just assumed nothing would happen!" shouted back Bobby.
"Professor, we have to make sure Apocalypse hasn't taken her!" shouted Logan. "She and Beast have been in those caves long enough!"
"I know Logan, but I cannot go with you. I must stay here with the students." said Xavier.
"We're the X Men Prof, we can handle it." said Bobby.
"No way, I'm only taking a couple of X Men down there, ones you don't leave their team mates behind." said Logan. Bobby and Ororo have him a dirty look.
"Hey, we're all concerned about Rogue, Remy and Beast, we should all be aloud to go!" shouted Kitty.
"I know kid, but we can't bring to many in case Sinister sees us. And I'm defiantly not bringing frosty here." said Logan. Bobby stuck out his tongue.
"Hey I'm the leader, who made you boss!" shouted Scott.
"Sorry bub, this mission don't concern you." said Logan growling at Scott.
"In a more polite manner, Scott, I would prefer it if you were here with me, the rest of us can find a way to break down the force field." said the Professor.
"Bust Professor-"
"-Jeez Scott just do what ya daddy tells ya." said Jean. Logan chuckled for a moment.
"Ya own girlfriend is mocking ya now one eye, what next?" said Logan. Scott turned to Jean heated.
"Thanks a lot Jean, was that meant to be funny, or have you totally forgot about the other night!"
"No, I was just saying what everyone else here wanted to say…get that pole outta ya ass, ya ego is way too high and ya know those boots are getting to big for ya. Plus the other night was not high-quality." said Jean. She shoved past Scott and went up to Logan. "Besides, looks like Logan has all the "good moves" and muscles."
"You can defiantly be part of the small team." said Logan flirtatiously. Jean winked at him.
"I'll go get changed. Care to join me Logan." she said as she walked out of the room.
Scott growled at Logan. "Ya came to the Xavier mansion a couple of years ago, and ever since then I knew you had a crush on her, but you're going too far!" shouted Scott.
"Hey don't blame me if ya girlfriend wants a real man." said Logan.
"Why I outta…."
"ENOUGH! I will not have this kind of behaviour in my house! Now be off with you!" shouted Xavier. Scott just growled again and walked out of the room.
"Jean was acting strange." said Emma.
"Yes…" said the Professor. "Emma, Logan, Jean and Bishop will go to the Egyptian caves. The rest of you follow me."

"Apocalypse." said Archangel as he came up to the monster.
"What is it my dark winged angel?" asked Apocalypse.
"Sinister has got Rogue, he has used Malachi to put them in a dream state universe."
"Tell him to stop messing around and to bring her to me. What is he doing to them?"
"Sinister has made Malachi produce the actual images of what would happen if you were destroyed." explained Archangel. Apocalypse walked towards Archangel.
"I have a job for you my darkened angel"
"Anything."
"Paradigm, he has used Wanda, a prisoner as bait to get Magneto." explained Apocalypse. "He has Magneto thanks to Malice. But I am displeased of him going behind my back. Bring him to me."
"At once my lord." said Archangel as he bowed to him. He went out of the room. Apocalypse turned back to the screen with different shots of the force field.
"Mesmero!" he shouted. Mesmero ran in the room, limping.
"Yes m' lord." he said as he bowed.
"You have done well for me, you have gotten me the three keys which has let me be released, even though you got the X Men to steal them, and you have chosen me a life supplier…but you have also failed me by letting Xavier have knowledge of my existence a year ago, and then you were captured by the brotherhood. Who knows what information you have given them. Especially to that Magneto, he knows a great deal about me, but Xavier knows the most." explained Apocalypse.
"I know My lord, but I did not betray you, I have stood loyal to you." cried Mesmero.
"That you have, and hopefully, in death you shall." said Apocalypse. Mesmero looked up, frightened. He knew what would happen…
Apocalypse walked over to him. He lifted him up with his powers. Mesmero started to choke. Slowly, blood vessels popped up on his neck and forehead. He was blue as the sky, then blood came out from his ears and eyes and nose. He fell on to the floor and his skin started to burn. He couldn't scream as his throat was being choked by Apocalypse's telekinesis. Boils came up on his face and steam started to come from his body. Mesmero held his throat in pain, now being able to scream.
He then died…Apocalypse smiled.
"And that is only a minor amount of my power!"

"But I wanna go with you!" shouted Jubilee as Emma, Logan, Jean and Bishop got ready to go to Egypt.
"Sorry kid, ya just not ready yet." said Emma.
"I've fought loads of bad guys with Generation X!" she shouted.
"This aint the same. Besides you'll get bored, we're only looking for some X Men."
"So, something interesting always happens!" moaned Jubilee. Bishop quietly looked over to Jubilee. He knew that one day; she would become one of the legendary X Men. It was sort of ironic. All he heard was tales of the heroics of the X Men. "Jubilee the hope of a new dawn" they called her. All he heard was how she fought many and commanded the 'D.O.A' (destruction of Apocalypse). He never thought that she had to beg to become and X Man.
"What are you smiling at?" asked Logan as he noticed the grinning Bishop.
"Oh nothing, nothing at all." he said.
Jono came into the gear room. He was on his mobile.
"Great they won't let me come with 'em!" whispered Jubilee. Jono wasn't even listening, he was reading a message. "Hey Jono ya listening to me!" She looked at his mobile and grabbed it off him.
"Hey give it back!" shouted Jono.
"Jono please be careful. You know how much I care about you. Text me back Loads of love and kisses, PaigeXxX." read out Jubilee. She started to laugh.
"Hey that's not funny, you shouldn't be laughing at what she's saying!" shouted Jono.
"Oooo, that message has really got to ya huh?" asked Jubilee joking. Jono gave her a dead eye.
"Sometimes…no all the time, ya a pain in the butt gel." said Jono. Jubilee stuck her tongue out and text Paige back. "What are you doing?"
"Oh nothing." she said. 'Wait until Paige gets this.' Jubilee thought. She started to press all the buttons.
"Hey, you're textin' 'er back! Give me that phone!" shouted Jono.
"Will you two babies quit it!" shouted Emma.
"Okay." said Jubilee happily as she threw the phone to Jono. He caught it but it slipped through his hands. "Good catch."
Jono growled and looked at his outbox. He gasped as he saw the quick text. His upper face burned with anger.
"I'm gonna kill that gel!" he shouted.

Paige sat on the sofa, staring at all her other friends laughing and playing about. She wasn't really in the mood to join in.
"Hey Paige ya okay?" asked M.
"Huh?" asked Paige as she came out of her daydream. "Oh yeah I'm fine." Paige sighed. She missed Jono. Sure she wanted to be an X Man, but she was more bothered about love than that.
Suddenly her phone went off. She looked at it and saw Jono's name. She jumped up in excitement and walked out of the room into the hallway. She started to read it.
'Baby I miss you, I love you soooo much. From ure JonoXxXxX'.
Paige read the text over and over. At first she smiled but then realised that Jono wouldn't ever right something like that. He kept his feelings to himself.
'Jubilee…' she thought. Maybe It was Jono, Paige would like to believe it…but she knew that Jono would never ever ever say something like that to Paige. She grumbled, she would defiantly have to get revenge on Jubilee…

Kitty looked at herself in the mirror. She had a long red dress on with the arm sleeves covered in glitter. Her hair was tide up in a bun; she looked beautiful…and a bit slutty.
She was all set for her date with Piotr. She looked to the clock on the wall. It was now 5 minutes past seven. Kitty always new to keep a man waiting no matter what. She did it to Piotr all the time, though this time was different. She got up and grabbed her handbag. Kitty had one more look in the mirror and went out of her room.
Piotr looked at his watch. He had been waiting nor for 5 minutes. He knew what Kitty was doing, making him wait.
"Hey, she'll come." said Bobby comforting his friend.
"He is correct my friend, you know what Kitty is like." said Ororo.
'Well she has to know vat fings have changed!' he shouted in his head. Suddenly he glimpsed to the top of the grand staircase to see kitty walked down, smiling. He couldn't help but smile at her beauty.
As she reached the bottom stair, Piotr took her hand and smiled.
"There's one time in a girl's life when they get to walk down a grand stair case looking absolutely beautiful, all eyes on them, I think that was just Kitty's." whispered Ororo to Bobby.
"You look beautiful." he said. Kitty giggled.
"Thank you, you look very handsome." she said politely.
"You two have a good time, and be careful." warned Ororo.
"Yeah, least some of us get to go out and have some fun. The rest of us have to do research on Apocalypse with the professor. How boring is that?" complained Bobby. Kitty laughed which made Piotr's heart beat faster.
"See ya later k?" said Kitty. "Come on big guy." Kitty linked her arm with Pete's and walked out of the door.

Logan was tensing up, he had never been so worried before. Him and Storm were flying the jet, and she noticed his grip on the handle. She put her hand on top of his gently and he looked at her. She smiled.
"Logan, it will be alright, Rogue will be alright." reassured Storm.
"But…maybe this is how she dies 'Ro, maybe she gets killed by Sinister…"
"Logan, all I know is that Rogue is a strong girl with attitude. She can take care of herself, and Sinister. Plus Beast is there with her."
"We were all taken to the savage lands 'Ro, we all know what Sinister can do. And not even we were able to stop him." said Logan. Storm sighed and looked out of the jet window. Maybe he was right…
Dina's Restaurant
7.20pm
Kitty looked at the menu and kept flicking the pages back and forth to see what she wanted. Piotr was already getting bored, but he was used to it because every time he took Kitty on a date she would always take for hours to choose. But this was different, they weren't together.
"Have you ordered yet Keety?" he asked slightly impatient.
"Huh…oh yeah sorry. I was just thinking about Rogue and Beast." said Kitty. Piotr was a bit surprised, but it was her friend, and Beast was certainly close to Kitty after he was possessed by his 'inner beast'.
"I'm sure they'll be fine." he said.
"I just don't know how we and all these people in this room can sit here eating, while there is an Apocalypse on our hand." said Kitty.
"Do you want to leave?"
"No, but I'm just like…confused."
"Don't be Keety, tonight is about us, forget about Apocalypse, that's what everyone else is trying to do in here, just for one night." reassured Piotr.
"Okay…so what am I going to have?" said Kitty to herself. Piotr sighed, this was going to take forever.

'Jean' looked out of the window beside her. She saw the dark night and the water below them. She smiled at what was about to happen, she knew what was about to happen.
"Jean, are you okay?" asked Emma as she leaned over Jean. Jean snapped out of her trance and looked at the blonde.
"Yeah…just thinking." she said.
"Ha, people have been doing that a lot lately, even me." said Emma.
"Wow, that is something, a blonde bimbo actually thinking." said Jean.
"…Excuse me!" shouted Emma. "What did you just call me!" Jean stood up and nudged Emma as she went past her.
"You heard me." said Jean simply. Emma grunted.
"What's wrong with you lately?" asked Emma.
"What do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean! The thing with Scott, calling him a teachers pet, and then flirting with Wolverine, and now this!" shouted Emma.
"Look, just 'coz you fancy Scott, doesn't mean I can't fancy anyone. You couldn't find your own man so you had to settle for someone else's." Jean looked over to Logan who was controlling the plane with Strom and Bishop with them. "Besides, who wouldn't like Wolverine? I certainly don't know why I didn't go for him in the first place." Emma snorted.
"And I certainly don't know why he would like you." said Emma.
"And what's that meant to mean!" shouted Jean.
"Oh come on Jean, I've never hated you, I just don't think you're good enough for Scott. But you've always been the background, but now you want attention. Thing is Jean, I only make enemies with people who are truly not my type of person, you're just a low life pitiable little girl who's not worth my hatred." explained Emma. She shoved past the angry looking Jean.
"You'll pay for that…" said Jean inaudibly.
"Oh yeah," Emma came up into Jean's face, "and how are you planning to do that red?"
"Oh I'll think of something." whispered Jean.
Dina's restaurant
7.45PM
Kitty leant over the table and put her hand on Piotr's. He wasn't even looking at her at the time. He jumped and looked at her, not moving his hand from her soft touch. She was smiling at him with her beautiful girly smile he adored.
"I'm glad you asked me out tonight Pete. It's nice to get away from all the like, stress." said Kitty.
"Yeah…" he said silently. He was quite nervous…well not nervous. He felt as though this was his first date with her. Not only that, but he just didn't feel the spark anymore. He knew Kitty was trying hard, but he couldn't feel the same way about her anymore.
"Are you like okay?" she asked him concerned. Piotr looked up to her and held her hand tight in his and sighed.
"Keety, I still love you, and I know what you said about Kurt wasn't true, but it hurt me deeply. I'm an emotional man Keety…"
"I like know that, and that's what I love about you. But what I said Kurt was a simple mistake of the tongue. I like, never think about Kurt. I know we can work things out Pete-."
"Vats the ving Keety, I don't know if vwe can." said Pete. Kitty looked at him deeply hurt and took her hands away from his. Sadness and confusion was in her eyes, a hint of anger possessed her.
"So you like, asked me out tonight to dump me!" she shouted.
"No Keety, I asked you out tonight to see if ver was still a spark between us. And I just don't feel it…maybe this is just meant to be." he said. Tears ran down Kitty's cheeks.
"I cannot believe you are giving up on us just because I like, said the wrong name." said Kitty.
"It's not just that Keety, its other things too. I don't want to upset you, but maybe we should split up for a while. Meet new people, and ven if we want get back together." explained Piotr. Kitty looked at him in disgust.
"Why would I want to like, get back with a jerk who think he can have me anytime he wants…ya know Pete, I thought we'd be together forever, looks like I was wrong!" she shouted as she grabbed her handbag and fled from the restaurant. Piotr looked down and sighed.
Awww poor Kitty….Don't worry I have big plans for the two of them. Anyway, the Romy fans will be pleased for the next chapter.
Next Chapter – Home is where the heart is? – Remy is even more confused and tries to find some answers. Meanwhile Rogue starts to have flashbacks of another life, which turns out to be hers. Will she find Remy before it's too late?
