A/N: Okay you guys, I'm just warning you, I love fight scenes and all that, but I'm not very good at writing them. So please don't hate me if this chapter is bad.

Chapter Eleven: The Fight

The minute Kitty hit the ground, the rest of the acolytes took the opportunity to begin to attack the X-Men who were so surprised by what had just happened were caught slightly off guard. Quicksilver, wanting to get back at Cyclops for blasting him in the chest began running around him really fast creating a small tornado that lifted Cyclops up into the air, spinning around. Cyclops made attempts to blast Quicksilver but the speed demon was to fast for him.

The rest of the X-Men sprung into action, and began fighting the acolytes. There were only three X-Men who didn't immediately join in on the fight. There was Kitty of course, who was lying on the ground with a look of disbelief and betrayal on her face.

"What happened to you Rogue?" Kitty barely managed to ask, as Rogue ignored her question and approached Kitty with her hand outstretched.

The other two X-Men who had not yet joined the fight were Logan and Kurt. The two X-Men were as stunned as Kitty was. There was no way Kurt was ready to believe that his sister had joined the acolytes. Why would she do that? Rogue was apart of the X-Men. She was his sister.

Logan on the other hand was slowly coming to terms with it. The closer he saw Rogue reach her bare fingers to Kitty the more he realized that she wasn't an X-Men anymore. There was no way she could be Rogue either. He didn't know who that girl was, but it wasn't Rogue. And then reality finally hit him and he sprung into action. Rogue was going to absorb Kitty, and he was to far away to get to stop her in time.

"Elf, get Shadow Cat out of there now!" He yelled to Kurt. Kurt snapped out of his trance and finally realized that Kitty was in danger. As soon as Kurt bamfed from one spot to another Wolverine began running toward Rogue. Kitty would be long out of there by the time he got there, but he wanted to know who that was standing up there.

Kitty was to stunned to try to get up and run. Rogue's eyes held no emotion as she reached down for her. Suddenly the smell of brimstone filled the air and blue hands grabbed Kitty right before Kurt bamfed her away from Rogue.

"Damnit!" Rogue swore under her breath. Then a smile crossed her face as she saw the Wolverine running towards her. The famous Wolverine that all the X-Men admired. She would have fun fighting him. "Come to join the party Wolverine?" She sneered.

Snikt His claws came out. "Look kid, I don't know where this sudden change of attitude came from but I came to take you home. And if I have to do it with you dangling from my shoulder kicking and screaming then so be it. But either way, you're coming home NOW!"

"What the hell is with you X-Men?" Rogue asked, looking at Wolverine like he was crazy. "Yall are acting like Ah'm one of you!"

Wolverine's claws slid back in. Her words confused him. "You are one of us Rogue."

Any other time Rogue would have laughed, but the sincerity in his voice and the look on his face triggered something. Once again Rogue found herself trying to grab onto something in her mind that was just out of reach.

Wolverine began walking towards her very slowly. "Rogue," he said her name carefully. Rogue's first instinct was to throw a punch at him and start kicking the crap out of him but something in the back of her mind wouldn't let her. Wolverine held his hand out to her. "Come on darlin, I'm not your enemy."

Why does this seem so familiar? Rogue wondered. Something was desperately urging her to take his hand, to go with him, to go with him. The X-Men are your enemies! A small voice in the back of her head said.

Wolverine watched Rogue's face carefully. It looked to him like she was having some kind of inner battle. She had a very confused expression on her face. She looked like she wanted to go with him, but something was keeping her from it. He just had to be patient he knew he could reach her. "Come on kid, whatever it is that's making you this way, fight it," he whispered.

Rogue was struggling in her mind. She was fighting so hard to find that part of her mind that she couldn't reach. For a brief moment she thought she had found it. A moment of clarity, she was there, she knew-

Her thoughts were interrupted by intense vibration and rumbling sound of the ground. The distraction snapped Rogue back to what she thought was reality. Both she and Wolverine looked up to see the brotherhood joining the party. Avalanche had created an earthquake that had gotten everyone's attention. Behind him all the members of the brotherhood looked ready to fight, mischievous grins etched on their faces. And if front of him stood the person Rogue hated the most. Mystique.

While Wolverine was distracted Rogue took the opportunity to punch him in the jaw, and then swung her leg down and tripped him. Wolverine was to shocked to have to fight Rogue and found himself lying down on the ground.

"Sorry big guy," Rogue said not really meaning it. "But Ah've got bigger fish to fry. Hope ya don't mahnd if Ah borrow some strength." The next thing Wolverine knew, Rogue's bare fingers were touching his cheek, and he began to feel his energy drain away from him.

AN: Okay sorry this is another short one, but I don't have much time, I don't know if the next one will be any longer, but I'm pretty sure the one after that will be longer. I know have my Romy and Rietro fics out. Their both only one chapter right now. I'm not going to update them as much as I do this one at first cuz I wanna try and get this one done, but I will update them at least once a week, so hope you enjoy.
