X Mansion:

Rogue knocked on the door to the professor's office. In a few seconds the professor responded by saying, " Come in Rogue." Rogue entered the room and sat in a chair in front of the professor's desk.

"Professor I need for you to look in my head and let out one of the psyches." The professor raised his eyebrows expecting for Rogue to explain the reason for this. Rogue sensing what the professor wanted continued. "That night in the alley there was someone there that helped me before you and the others arrived. His name is Gambit and he is one of the mutants that work for Magneto. He touched me and his psyche helped me fight the others in my mind. I also got his memories and I think that he and the other Acolytes are not working for Magneto by their own free will. So I was wanting to know if you could help me find his memories in my mind and to find out if there is any truth behind Magneto blackmailing them to work for him." Rogue stopped and waited for the professor's response.

"It may take me a minute or two to find the memory and find out if there is any truth to it. If there is any truth to it then we as X-Men will help the Acolytes that are being blackmailed. I am going to go inside your head now if that is okay with you." Rogue nodded her head and the Professor came around the desk and placed his hands around Rogue's head. After a couple of minutes the Professor looked at Rouge and said, "I am going to call everyone on the senior team into the rec room and explain this to them and then we will try and come up with a plan." Rogue nodded and after a few seconds left. Charles wheeled over to his window and wondered what had pushed his one time friend into blackmailing mutants to work for him.

Across Town:

John looked at the picture on his desk again and thought that in a few days he would see her again. He hoped that she would still be healthy and strong. Maggs seemed to be treating her well and he only hoped that things would stay that way. She was the only person who had protected and stood by him when his powers had developed. She had always been there for him and at this point in his life the only woman that he had ever truly loved. Remy, Piotr and himself had come up with a plan but it wasn't going to work if it was just the three of them. They were going to need some serious firepower to get this job done.

A/N: Thanks to all who reviewed my story. I hope that this answered some of the questions that you had cool-chick-rae. After my next chapter I plan on the chapters getting longer.
