A/N: Here's chapter 16. Sorry it took me so long to get it up. hope you like it. Enjoy

The helecoptor landed as did Jean and the Master of Magnatisum stepped out and onto the grassy forest ground. "Mystique, get Dark Phoenix some clothes that are more comfortable and more fitting." Magneto said. Mystique wanted to objectbut she knew he was giing her an order and soshe was forced to do as he had asked. Mystique was threatened by Dark Phoenix because she was somuch more powerful than even Magneot or Xavier and what good was she to Eric as his right hand if he had a telepath to do his bidding and inform him of things? For this reason Mystique began to hate Jean Grey but Mystique did as Magneto asked andlead Jean to the hide out, where she could change into theoutfit Eric had foundspecifically for her. Just then a woman wearing black leather pants, boots, tube top with long black hair pulled back, which allowed her to show off her "mark" as she called them, approched Magneto, whi dismissed Juggernaut, Pyro and Multipule Man and then said, "Calisto, nice of you to greet me."

"I don't trust her."

"Mystique is not one to be trusted my dear, I of all people know that."

"Not Mystique, Eric. Dark Phoeinx as you called her. Why'd you call her that anyway?"

"In egyptian mythology the Pheonix was a bird that would sacrifice itself in a fiery death and always rise from its ashes and it seems that our Jean Grey has brought some tuth to that tail. She may not have died a firey death but she has come back from the dead. All the more reason for her name and you know Calisto, ever since I met her, I knew she would be a powerful being and to think that Charles tried to make this Goddess into a mortal."

"You may think of her as a goddess now but wait until she looses control. Wait until something happens and she won't listen to you any more. She the most powerful mutant on this planet. She even more powerful than you. You don't honestly think you can control her and her raw power, do you?" Calisto said in a voice that challenged Magneto's judgement. Calisto was a leader of the mutants who could not pass for humans and had been for a long time. She wanted to do what was right for her people but if Magneto really thought he could contol Dark Pheonix, he was insane. The Dark Phoenix was nothing but raw power that was hard to control, how could the Master of Magnatisum control the most powerful telepath on the planet and maybe the whole universe?

Magneto aggusted his cape, took off his helmet and said, "My dear, I all ready have."

Then Magneto spotted Jean returning with Mystique behind her and she now wore a dark leather tank, leather pants, black boots and a dark read leather trench coat. An out fit more fitting for a woman of her power than that xmen uniform she used to wear. Mystique moved to Magneto's left side and held onto his arm as Jean moved to the right and behind Magneto as Mystique began to speak to Callisto.

"How many are here?"

"Many, Mystique," Calisto said, "They are waiting for you to address them, Magneto."

Eric nodded as he handed his helmet to Mystiqe, wrapped his cape around his right arm and said, "Then address them I shall."

XAVIER SCHOOL FOR GIFTED YOUNGSTERS:

Rogue walked down the hall, out of the kitchen where she had just finished lunch and saw a couple holding hands. She lowered her head and tried not to look at them but she couldn't help it. that was something she wanted. she wanted to be able to kiss Bobby, or even hold his hand without hurting him and taking his powers and memories. As Rogue turned the corner she saw Bobby and immediantly turned around and began to walk away because Bobby was the last personshe wanted to see right now but just because she was walking away from him, didn't mean he didn't follow her.

"Rogue," Bobby called after his girlfriend, " Rogue, wait. I'm getting the feeling that your avoiding me."

"I can't kiss my boyfriend without killing him." Rogue said under her breath as she continued to walk away but Bobby grabbed her long black sleeve covered arm, turned her around, and as he crossed his arms said, "Have I ever put any pressure on you?"

"Your a guy Bobby and all guys have their mind on one thing and i can't give it to you. I guess I can't blame you for hanging around her."

"Who kitty?" Bobby asked and when Rogue didn't answer Bobby continued to say, "She's just a friend, nothing more."

"I've seen how you look at her Bobby and I can see why. She's pretty, smart, and you can touch her without getting hurt. There used to be a time when you looked at me the way you look at her now." Rogue said tears rolling down her face as she began to leave.

"Rogue I..." Bobby began to defend himself but Rogue simply turned back around and turned her plam at him telling him to stop, "No. Bobby. We need a break. I need a break. Maybe when this is all over and done with we can come out of this all right but for now, I can't be with you."

"Rogue." Bobby called as Rogue walked down the hall and with out turning around she yelled back, "Go play with your kitten!"
