Chapter 13: Spies Like Us

"Where did you run off to?" Chelsea asked Mystique when she got back to her room after class.

"Out" Mystique said.

"Right" Chelsea sarcastically replied to the dodged question.

"Why? I didn't miss anything important did I?"

Chelsea had to pause before she replied. She didn't think Mystique would be pleased to know 'Marie' had kicked the crap out of two boys in class. "No, I was just wondering."

She glanced over at Mystique and just caught her rolling her eyes. She looked like she really didn't care, but knew Chelsea wasn't saying something.

"I need to know what classes Rogue is taking this semester" Mystique asked as Chelsea moved to her dresser to brush her hair.

She looked at Mystique in the mirror with narrow eyes. "Why?" She replied turning to face Mystique, who sighed. Mystique didn't want to tell her anything about her discussion with Magneto, but as Magneto said this was a test and like it or not, they could use her. Toad, Sabretooth, their newest recruit Sledge, and 'the boy' as Mystique called him were not much of an army.

"Marie," Mystique began, "the real Marie has written to Professor Xavier requesting homework from her classes for the next two weeks. I need to get it for her."

"Why?"

"It's just one more thing to keep her busy for a while until we are finished our work here."

"I see…Why not just kill her?"

"I am not going to kill her."

"I'll do it."

"NO."

"I really don't mind, where does she live? I'll go do it now." Chelsea began to walk to the door. Before she could get there, she felt a hand grab her shoulder, hard. The hand was Mystique's, though it had morphed into that of a beast with long claws and very hairy knuckles.

"You are not going to touch Rogue."

Once again, Chelsea turned to Mystique, and looked at her through narrowed eyes. "Why?" She asked Mystique in more of a statement or demand than a question. Both the tone of Chelsea's voice and the way she stood in front of her, told Mystique that this girl knew she was not being told everything, and she wasn't going to deal with the secrets anymore. This actually impressed Mystique for once. This young girl was standing up to her. Chelsea looked determined to find the truth and showed no fear of standing up to Mystique to get it. Mystique had only seen one other person brave enough to stand up to her like this, and that was Wolverine. "Perhaps Erik is right about this kid," She grinned.

"Marie is my daughter…well, kind of" Chelsea raised and eyebrow and looked at Mystique. She looked like she was going to say something like "you've got to be kidding," but she said nothing.

"Anyway," Mystique continued, "I need to write back to her tonight so I need the class schedule so I can go get her some homework."

"You can't just call her?"

"No."

"Why not, you could just change your voice to baldy's."

"Because Marie's father is and old hippie. I'm surprised he finally left the commune…He likes to 'live off the land' as he puts it, as much as possible, so they have no phone, no TV, no radio…"

"Logan" The voice was strong, powerful, and commanding. To anyone that didn't know he was an omega mutant hearing that voice come out of a "crippled" man in a wheelchair might sound absurd. Logan knew the professor though, he knew what he could do, as well as what he wouldn't do. Still Professor Xavier was not a man to mess with. "Could I have a word with you in my office?"

Logan didn't reply, he just turned toward the office and grunted. He walked in behind the professor and sat down, cigar in hand.

"I wanted to talk to you because I heard the murmurs of some kids leaving your last class. Let me tell you that what I heard was rather disturbing."

"Chuck, I--"

"Logan I'm not mad, certainly not at you. These kids have never had a teacher that could show them how to defend themselves by any means necessary. I value your leadership in my school. Now, after hearing these children leaving your classroom I decided to do a little probing. What I saw; what happened in your class today--"

"Chuck, I can explai--"

"I don't want your explanations Logan. It's a class where they learn to fight. Naturally, I would expect that fighting would happen. What I'm having trouble understanding is that it was Anne-Marie that was fighting. And not only fighting Logan, she was attacking Piotr and Robert. She was fighting offensively, something truly out of character for her."

"I know," Logan began, "I really don't know what to say."

"Neither do I. Within the last few days she has changed, become a completely different person. I asked you here because I wanted your opinion of the matter."

XXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

BBBBBBBRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!

"Oh shoot. I'm late for class!" Mystique said while changing from the adult blue seductress to the young preppy school girl. "I have to be in Chem. lab now." She grabbed her backpack and headed for the door as she spoke, "I need a list from you of all her classes right after lab." Before Chelsea could give a reply, the door had slammed shut and Mystique was gone.

"Don't forget who you are dealing with Mystique. I'm not a shape shifter," Chelsea glared at the door while she spoke, "When I touch you I don't just absorb your mutation…" She pulled a piece of paper out of her notebook on the bedside table. "…I absorb your thoughts, your feelings, your memories... I absorb it all." Grabbing a pen, she began to jot down the classes. "So I know all about your stupid little plan. I know Magneto has no intention of helpin' me, he's just testin' me. I know that you don't think you can trust me. You think I won't play by the rules, you think I'm not good enough for the brotherhood…" She looked down at the list and smiled, "…well Mystique, you're right."

XXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I don't know what to say Chuck, something hasn't been right for a while now."

"So you think Rogue may--"

"I dunno Chuck, I guess Rogue could be it, but my senses have been going haywire for a long time now."

"Yes I have been having some difficulties too."

"Chuck?"

"Well as you know, Cerebro was no longer working correctly after Mystique had sabotaged it, then William Stryker took a lot of it."

"Yes"

"Well what you don't know is Lillandra--"

"You mean that chick you like who has the funky hair? The 'She-Hair' empress?"

"Shi-ar, Logan, and yes that is Lillandra. She has given us some of their technology to fix and upgrade Cerebro. Hank had been working on it, but he still hasn't gotten it to work…"

"Where are you going with this Chuck?"

"Well, my telepathy, for some reason, has been off a bit."

"What do you mean?"

"Rogue for example, I have never read her mind without her permission, but now I can't even if I wanted to."

"Huh,"

"And it isn't just her, Sara, Marie's roommate, John St. Allerdyce, and a number of other students seem to have shut their minds shut off to me too."

"Maybe they just don't want you in their heads Chuck."

"Yes well, as I said before Logan, I don't just 'go in their heads' but it is alarming because I'm reading them as having no brain activity. It's as if they are brain dead. That has never been the case, usually if I cannot read a person's mind I'm just cut off from it, but they have never registered as brain dead by my telepathy before."

"Huh…"

"And with Cerebro currently unavailable to enhance my telepathy, I am completely in the dark on this."

"Well Chuck that is odd"

"Yes, very."

"Well I don't know what to say Chuck. I'll sniff around, but my sniffer isn't working too well these days either."

"Thank you and if you find anything--"

"You'll be the first to know."

Logan left the Professor's office puzzled. He was worried about what was going on. His fears didn't last too long however, he shrugged them off as he walked to the kitchen insisting that their was a six pack calling him from the fridge.

XXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Chelsea looked at the list of classes;

Fighting: Offense, Defense, and Mutation With Professor Logan

European history With Professor Munro

German I With Professor Wagner

Calculus II With Professor Xavier

Advanced Computer Tech.: Danger Room Independent Study with Kitty Pryde

Medieval British Literature With Professor McCoy

Physics With Professor Xavier

She smiled as she left the schedule on shape's bed. "You've messed with the wrong girl Mystique; enjoy it while it lasts because your life will be over soon."

XXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXX

"That's the point stupid, otherwise it wouldn't be an adventure" She looked at him laying there with her. He leaned in to kiss her. They kissed. It was wonderful, powerful, but then it felt too powerful. She stopped kissing him and jumped back with a start. He was shaking. She screamed.

Rogue awoke with the scream in her throat. She was breathing harder than ever. The darkness of the room overwhelmed her. The only light came from a small glow-in-the-dark clock that read 11:48 pm. She tried to move her arms but found they were pinned under covers that were drenched in a cold sweat. It took a moment for her to untangle herself from the moist sheets. Finally, she kicked the sheets free from her warm body. Breathing heavily she stared at the ceiling. Normally she could just tell herself it was just a bad dream and go back to sleep. But this wasn't just a dream, it was a nightmare from the past. One of many that will haunt her for the rest of her life.

She left in the middle of the night and took a train from Mississippi to New York City. It took two days to get there; she had to switch trains so much.

She knocked on the door.

"Mama Raven!" She said when the door opened, "I'm so glad you are here. Dad let me surprise you and come see you"

"Don't lie my child" A tall lady with dark sunglasses said, "Tell the truth, Raven will understand. She can help you."

"Irene's right, what is wrong?"

She began to cry, "The boy I liked, He kissed me and something happened, I don't know what,… or why… I don't understand, he's in a coma… What did I do to him? What happened?"

"Hush child, come sit down with Irene and I. We'll tell you everything."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mystique came back to the room late that evening. Chelsea was watching TV but turned it off when Mystique came in.

"Finally," she said, "I made you the list of classes," she nodded toward the paper on Mystique's bed, "now you need to return the favor."

Mystique, who was scanning the paper glared at Chelsea. "You may think you are tough, but order me once more little girl and I'll show you what tough really is."

"I just meant I wanted you to tell me more about Rogue's friends. I need to know as much as possible about them if I have to pull this off for two more weeks."

Mystique continued to glare at her. After what seemed like five minutes she began, "fine, I'll start with Bobby. They have been together for a long time now, seven or eight months I think. He is madly in love with her, but she is somewhat distant with him because of her mutation. Up until recently they hadn't touched, but now he tries to kiss her all the time, it's rather pathetic."

"They have been together for eight months and they haven't kissed or touched?"

"They have, but not much. Though Bobby has been trying. I don't know too much more about their relationship, and I really don't care to. Rogue can do much better than him…"

Mystique continued to talk, but Chelsea was forming a plan, one that would with any luck, ruin Bobby and Marie's relationship forever.

XXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So ah am a mutant." She began to cry again, "Ah heard them whisperin' everywhere ah went, but ah didn't believe 'em"

"It's okay Anna, we are here for you." Raven went to hug her.

"Stay away!" She jumped from the couch, "Don't touch me!"

"Anna, It's okay," Irene said, "It's only if we touch your skin."

"How do ya know?" she asked.

Raven stood up, "because like you, we are both mutants too."

"Ya'are?"

"Yes."

She collapsed into Raven's arms crying uncontrollably

"Rest child, Rest"

XXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Well everyone should be in their dorms now, so I'm going to get the homework for Rogue," Mystique said as she picked up the class schedule, "I'll be back early tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Chelsea said, "Have fun" Chelsea flipped through a magazine until she no longer heard Mystique's footsteps down the hall. When she thought Mystique was gone, she threw the magazine on the nightstand and got out of bed. She carefully opened the door to the room and looked down the hallway. The coast was clear no one was around.

Quietly, Chelsea walked down the hallway to the boys' dormitory wing, stopping in front of John and Bobby's door. She paused, took a deep breath, and knocked lightly on the door. Having second thoughts, she almost ran back down the hall, not wanting to go through with it. "Remember the plan, stick to the plan," she thought to herself as the door opened.

"Marie?" Bobby answered the door in his pajamas of boxers and a t-shirt, "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you, I HAD to see you." Peering into the dark room she asked, "is John around?"

Bobby didn't answer, when Chelsea looked back at him she noticed that his thoughts were not on what she had asked, but on what she looked like, She had on a green nightgown, but it was a small piece of lingerie that didn't leave much to the imagination. It was obvious that Bobby liked what he saw. Chelsea blushed and looked down toward the floor – it was very obvious he liked what he saw.

"Bobby," Chelsea said a bit louder.

Bobby jumped out of his daze, shook his head and replied, "oh um, John, uh yeah, John's gone, I mean um, he isn't here, I mean he um, he went into the city for the weekend." Bobby finally spit out what he was trying to say while still somewhat fixed on the body of the girl in front of him.

"Lucky me," Chelsea said coyly. She stood in the doorway for a few moments before finally saying, "um, can I come in?"

"Oh uh, yeah sure," Bobby cleared his throat, "come on in."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mystique left the room and walked down the hall to an open window. She jumped out and in mid-air morphed into a raven. She flew around to the other side of the mansion to the school wing. A window was slightly ajar on the second story. The window wasn't open enough for Mystique to fly through, so she carefully morphed back into her scaly blue self while standing on the small window ledge. She then pushed the window open with her foot and slid inside.

When inside Mystique found herself in Ororo Munroe's office. Smiling slyly, she went over to Ororo's desk and began to shuffle through papers. She didn't really care what she grabbed, just anything that would make sense to give Marie for work.

Having taken what she thought was enough materials; Mystique began to get up from behind the desk when she noticed a small set of keys. She didn't know what they went to but figured she would bring them with her. If they did go to a room she needed to get into, the keys would be much easier to use than breaking in would be.

Mystique quietly went out into the hall and walked over to Logan's office. She tried the keys. The fourth key she tried fit in the doorknob and unlocked the door. "That was easy," she thought.

She was surprised when she walked in the room. She thought is would be very messy when in fact it was spotless. It was so spotless that if it weren't for the strong smell of cigars, she would have thought Logan had never come in there.

She went over to his desk to look for any lesson plans or any homework papers. She found nothing. Opening the drawers, she found four things; dust, a box of cigars, a penthouse magazine, and a textbook on martial arts for Logan's class. The textbook had three thin holes in the cover going all the way through the book. "Guess he wasn't happy about the book." Mystique thought as she threw the book back in the drawer.

Quickly scanning the room for anything else useful, she signed and walked out unsuccessful.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXX

She awoke to voices in the other room. It took her a moment to remember she was at her Mamma Raven's apartment in New York City. When she finally was fully awake she began to listen carefully to the voices.

"I'm not sure what will happen," Destiny said, " but Ms Marvel will hurt her. Ms Marvel may kill her"

"I won't let that happen Irene. I'll stop Ms Marvel, EVEN IF IT COSTS ME MY LIFE!"

'Oh no,' she thought, 'Mama is the only person that is okay with mah bein' a mutant. She's the only one that still loves me. She'll die if she fights Ms Marvel, she's an Avenger!' She heard the words in her head again 'EVEN IF IT COSTS ME MY LIFE'.

'Ah'll go find Ms Marvel and take care ah her. She may be strong, but once ah touch her I know I can take her!'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The boy's room was cleaner than Chelsea had expected it to be. John's side was somewhat messy, but Bobby's was very neat.

"Um, Have a seat," Bobby stammered while scratching the back of his neck. Chelsea sat on his bed; he sat down beside her.

"Well I came here because I wanted to show you something," Chelsea began.

"Rogue, I--"

Chelsea put her gloved fingers over Bobby's mouth. "Trust me."

For the first time since she had gotten there, Bobby looked at her in the eyes. He wasn't sure what to say. She took her fingers away from his lips and began to take off the glove. She met his eyes again, "Do you trust me?"

"Of course," He replied. Gently Chelsea touched his cheek with her bare hand. He closed his eyes, waiting for the pain, but it never came. Alarmed he opened his eyes to look at her.

"You lost your powers?"

"That's what I wanted to show you, I didn't loose them; I learned how to shut them off."

"You what?" Bobby asked puzzled.

"I can shut my powers off, or turn them on whenever ah want to."

"Rogue that's great" Bobby hugged her overjoyed. "How did it happen?"

"I think it must be a side effect from the accident," Chelsea lied.

Bobby smiled and hugged her again. After a short while, they slowly pulled apart. With Rogue still in his arms, Bobby smiled happily and moved his eyes from dazing into hers, to looking at her lips. He could finally kiss her without pain.

He pushed his lips to hers. They were warm and thick. He parted his lips and moved his tongue into her mouth. She smiled a bit under his mouth and welcomed his tongue. With one hand on her cheek and one on the small of her back he gently pushed her back until she was laying on the bed with her head on the pillow. Chelsea moved her hands to the back of his neck and began to kiss him deeper. She wrapped one of her legs around his and rubbed his calf with her foot.

When their lips finally parted, Bobby began to move down, kissing her neck. She stretched her head beneath him and he moved down farther to kiss her chest. Chelsea moaned wanting more.

"What about the door? Shouldn't we lock it?" Chelsea asked in a breathy voice.

Bobby stopped kissing her chest and looked at Chelsea's face. He moved his hand from the side of her breast and shot it back behind him toward the door. Instantly the door became frozen to the wall in a huge block of ice. Chelsea looked at the door, then smiled back at Bobby. She moved her hand to his neck, pulled him back down on top of her and kissed him deeply.

While they continued to kiss, Bobby traced his hand down her arm. When he got to her glove, he began to slide it down her arm and off her hand. Then he threw it to the floor.

XXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Once again, Rogue lay awake in bed. Her clock flashed 1:18am. She felt like she had been asleep for hours, but it had only been a short while since she had woken to the dream before. She untangled herself again from the sweat-soaked sheets and threw them off her. The dream scared her, but what scared her most was knowing that it really happened. Tears began to fall from her eyes because she knew that the dreams, the memories weren't over. There was still more she had to relive.

"Trouble with the door Sugah? There—All fixed"

"Who…?" the lady lay on the ground scared.

"Ah'm Rogue, and you, it seems, Dahlin', are a thorn that's been stickin' in our side for a while now! Ah'm here to remove it!" She picked up the lady and threw her into the side of a car.

"If you want this fight – by heaven you got it!" the lady yelled at her and transformed into Ms Marvel.

Ms Marvel moved toward her, and punched her in the back so hard that both women flew into the air. Ms Marvel kept pushing her through the air, flying to the golden gate bridge.

"Got you" Ms Marvel yelled as she slammed her head into the bridge.

Quickly she took off her glove and said, "Well s'cuse me, sugah – but you got that backwards!" She grabbed Ms Marvel by the face, "Y'see, all I have to do is make flesh to flesh contact an' my mutant power kicks in – absorbin' your powers into me."

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH………"

XXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Chelsea moved her hands to his waist and slid her fingers up his stomach under his shirt their lips parted for a moment while Chelsea moved the t-shirt over his head. She threw it to the floor as Bobby wrapped his arm around her waist once more. Chelsea's hands caressed his upper arms and slowly moved to his back. She was surprised at how muscular he was. His biceps were huge, as were the muscles in his back.

Bobby kissed the side of her neck, "I've wanted you for so long".

In response, Chelsea kissed his neck then sucked on his earlobe. When she did this, she could feel his blood begin to rise. Bobby sat up straddling her. He moved his hands to her hips and slowly began to move her nightgown up her body. As he did so, he kissed her body. First, he kissed her thighs, then her hips, then waist, belly button, and so on until the nightgown was off. He kissed her again on the lips, parting them more forcefully this time, then quickly took off his own shorts.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yes" she replied.

Bobby smiled and held her head in his hand while he kissed her.

"Oh" she moaned quietly when he entered her. She moved her hands down his spine feeling every vertebrae.

Bobby moved his hand down her side. As he did this, she wrapped her leg around his. Bobby's hand moved down farther still until it rested on her butt. With this, he pushed himself farther into her.

XXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mystique went to Beast's office next, followed by Kurt's, and finally Xavier's office, a different key fitting into each door. After taking assignments for both classes Marie had with Xavier, Mystique sat down and quickly wrote a note on Xavier's personalized letter paper.

Dear Marie,

I am glad to hear that your trip home was successful. Please stay as long as you like, your family is most important and I know you will have no trouble making up any missed school assignments.

Kitty and Logan have both told me that they have nothing you can do outside of class, but they would be happy to work with you to catch up when you return. The remainder of your professors did give me some assignments for you; they are enclosed.

Again, do not feel like you have to hurry back to school. If you want to stay with your father for a few extra weeks, please do so. Have fun and enjoy your time with your family.

Sincerely,

Charles Xavier

She threw the letter and homework assignments into an envelope and headed for the door. Mystique walked back into Ororo's room, threw the key's back where she found them, and carefully climbed out of the window and onto the ledge. She pushed the window closed with her foot, and holding the envelope in her mouth, jumped off the ledge. Again, in mid-air she morphed into a shiny black raven, still holding the envelope in its beak.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Chelsea's body began to tingle. Her breathing was heavy and her chest was heaving. Likewise, Bobby was breathing heavily; beneath her now.

Chelsea had gotten on top of Bobby and was now rocking her hips back and forth. Bobby had his hands firmly on her butt while she did this.

Back and forth.

In and out.

Each time penetrating deeper.

Bobby moaned loudly. He felt like he was going to burst. After a moment his hands tightened on Chelsea's butt and his eyes rolled back .

She could feel him inside her, warm and wet. "So soon!" She thought, "talk about pre-mature". Still it was good while it lasted; she just wished it had lasted a bit longer; she was just getting warmed up. But her job was done, she came to his room to ruin Marie and Bobby's relationship; if this didn't do it, nothing would.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"………AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"

Rogue woke with pain shooting through her body. She got out of bed and ran to the bathroom and threw up. She couldn't fall back asleep after that dream; she knew it. Instead she took a shower and got dressed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The raven flew through the air back to the girls' dormitory. She flew into the open window at the end of the hall and morphed back into Sara. She walked back to her dorm quietly and went inside. Looking at Chelsea's bed, she noticed that Chelsea was not there. "Damn girl", she thought.

-click-

The bathroom door opened and Chelsea walked out. Mystique eyed her suspiciously.

"What? I had to pee."

Mystique put the envelope on her nightstand and got into bed. Chelsea did the same and smiled to herself slyly before turning out the light.

Writer's note:

Well another chapter done. I hope everyone liked it, but since I'm the only one reading this I guess I shouldn't be too worried. I enjoyed it :P . Anyway, here is the scoop on this chapter, yeah there was a sex scene. Hope you liked it and thought it was as realistic as fan fiction would let me go! Also, the parts of Rogue's dream that involved Ms Marvel came from the comic Marvel Superheroes #11. Some of it is direct quotes, some I had to change to fit my story. Sorry this chapter took so long to write. I haven't wanted to write anymore because no one is reading, but I figure, I enjoy writing it, so I'll continue.
