Chapter 6: Meeting the Rogue
After a day of travelling, Ororo had finally made it to Caldecott. Pulling up the drive way drive way of the D'Ancanto Manor and turning of the engine she got out of the car and proceeded to the door. Ringing the doorbell she waited for an answer.
In about a minute the door was answered and she was let into the sitting room where she took a seat. About five minutes of waiting both Sarah and Jim entered the room.
"Ororo" the woman said happily hugging the white haired woman
"Its great to see you to Sarah" Ororo said pulling away from the hug and moving towards Jim "Jim"
"Ororo" he said pulling her into a hug
After been released from the hug all three sat down
"Where are the kids?" Ororo asked
"Well Crisse and Anson are over at Sandra's for a while and…" Sarah trailed off
"Where is Marie" Ororo asked then noticing the frown appear on their faces asked, "What happened Sarah?"
"Her powahs" the telepath said "FOH came afta her"
"When, she wasn't hurt was she?" Ororo asked concerned
"around eight months ago" Jim informed her "and no she wasn't hurt as far as we know"
"Why did you not call me?" Ororo asked
"She jus' took off" Sarah said "Ah don' think she could take tha whispahs, and tha looks anymore that tha town was give' her"
"What happened when they manifested" Ororo asked "What are they?"
"You remember Cody right, the mayors son?" Jim said and Ororo nodded "well she touched him and put him in a coma for three weeks, she took off not long after he woke up. But the mayor put FOH after her, we don't know what happened after she left we don't even know if she is okay or not, wether they got her. God I hope not"
"I can get Charles to look for her" Ororo said
"Yes, please Ororo. But don' bring her back down here, keep her up at that school. Its ta dangerous down here fer her at tha moment" Sarah said "Ya should leave now though, look fer her, tell meh how she is. Ororo she still not stable mentally, ah'm worried bout her. Rahght b'fore she got her powahs not long after ya left last tahme she went bout dealen wif her problems by turning goth an' a bad attitude ta go wif it. Ah think it is her way of scaren people off"
"Okay Sarah I will find her" Ororo said "How did the other two take it?"
"Well there angry, we never told them about FOH, didn't want to scare them" Jim said
"Understandable, well I better get going" Ororo said and got up and all three went to the door "It was good seeing you two again, Bye"
Ororo walked outside and got in her car and headed back home
Meanwhile back at the X-Mansion the X-Men are having a meeting in the war room.
"X-Men I have called you here this morning because there have been reports of a dangerous mutant in New York" Xavier said "This mutant hurt two people near the mall early this mornung"
"So whatcha want us to go stop the jerk?" asked Logan
"Yes, the mutant must stop hurting people but try not to hurt the person to much he or she could be a great asset to our team"
"So what does this mutant look like professor" Scott asked
"no-one knows only that this mutant wears a green coat with the hod up and black leather gloves"
"Like what can this mutant do professor" Kitty asked
"Yes I must say that would be nice to know, so we know what we are facing" said hank
Xavier steepled his hands "I do not know the answer to that, all I know is that this mutant can seriously hurt someone, so be careful everybody"
"Okay everybody move out, get ready and meet by the jet in fifteen" Scott said
Fifteen minutes later the team was filing on to the jet. They all took a seat as the jet took off when they were halfway there Scott decided to give out the team assignments
"We are going to split into two groups of two and a group of three, once their we are to search for this new mutant and then try to talk it into joining us don't attack first we don't want to scare it away. Understand?" Scott said getting nods from the rest of the jets occupants
"Good, now the teams will be Beast (Hank) and Spyke (Evan) as team one, Wolverine (Logan), Nightcrawler and Shadowcat as team two, and Jean and myself as the last team. Be careful everyone.
The jet landed in an old scrap yard and all the mutants filled out except for Xavier who stayed on the jet.
"We are going to split up if anyone gets in trouble just contact the professor and he will get the nearest team to help" Scott said "Move out"
And with that the teams set about their search for this new mutant.
Team one went about searching the old warehouses.
"Man this is boring, auntie O is lucky she gets out of this"
"Evan my dear boy, this must be done this mutant is dangerous and I am quite sure that if your auntie was here she would agree with me"
"I know Beast, but man cant you let a boy complain, we have been looking for an hour and have found nothing.
"New York is a big city my boy"
"I know man"
Team two was looking in the back streets of the city.
"Like how boring is this" Kitty whined "I am totally glad I have never done this before and I am not like going to again, its to boring!"
"Ja I agree vith you Keety" Kurt said
"Will you to shut up!" Logan huffed out
At that moment a figure in a green coat with the hod pulled up walked into a near by ally.
Logan looked at the two teens and pointed to the ally before taking out his communicator
"Found the mutant, where over at the back streets near the mall"
Okay Logan I will send the rest of your team to your position
Wolverine grunted and then the three headed quietly towards the ally the mutant went down
The figure in the green coat sat down on a dumpster and took of its leather gloves and stared down at her hands
Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Shadowcat moved down the ally to see the mutant sitting on a dumpster just staring at its hands. Wolverine smirked this was going to be easy he could easily take down the mutant. As if reading his thoughts Shadowcat stepped forward
"Like I will go talk to the mutant okay" she whispered giving Wolverine a look. Getting nods from both men though reluctantly from Wolverine she walks towards the mutant
"Like hi" said a voice from behind the figure
The figure jumped and turned to see a teenaged brunette walking towards her. Scared she got up and started to flee in the other direction, noway in hell she was going to hurt another person.
"Don't go I like just want to talk" the girl said
She wanted to talk, could it be a trap? She decided to stay and listen to what the girl had to say while staying close enough to an exit if it was needed
Noticing the mutant stop and face her I decided to introduce myself
"Im Kitty Pryde" I said waiting for the other mutant to give out her name but the mutant was just staring at me like I had three heads or something
"I am like a mutant just like you" I said hoping to get a response but still nothing
"I go like to a school where mutants learn to control their powers" I said waiting again and success
"Control yoah powahs" the mutant, said
So the mutant was female and obviously from the south
"Yeah, so like what is your name" I asked
The girl seemed to be thinking about what to say was she going to give me her real name?
"Rogue" she said softly
I moved a little bit closer to the new mutant so that I was standing near her
"So Rogue, is that like your real name?"
"A-Ah don't know mah real name" she said obviously lying
"Fair enough" I said "So the school I like go to, you are more than totally welcome to come and stay their it is like open to all mutants as long as you like believe in peace between humans and mutants"
She seemed to think what I said over, she was in deep thought. Then she looked up at me for the first time
"Ah'm in so where is this place" she said
"Cool" I squealed and went to reach for her bare hand "You will like have so much fun, wait till you like meet the rest of the people their you will love them" I said as I grabbed her hand
Wolverine had not been able to hear Kitty's conversation with the mutant because Kurt kept talking really loudly in my ear I could barely hear over him. The sudden scream of Kitty shut Kurt up. As soon as they come around the corner to where Kitty and the mutant was, they were shocked at what they saw.
Kitty was laying on the ground unconscious while the mutant was hovering over her.
"Leave her alone bub" I said dangerously, I was happy I could smell fear "Nightcrawler get Shadowcat to a safe place. I have got the mutant" Nightcrawler nodded and ported to Shadowcat and ported out of here. The mutant was backing up towards what looked like an exit out of the ally
I lunged at the mutant while unsealthing my claws. Although I couldn't see the new mutants face I could smell her terror. As I came close to the now enemy of the X-Men it dodged out of the way. I turned to face the mutant and growled in frustration. I go at the mutant again and it once phases through my attack. Surprised I go at it again this time faking to go for the mutant, it dodges and that's when I strike, I aim at the mutants side but get both my claws buried into its stomach. The mutant lets out a startled cry of pain. That is when I realise that the mutant is female. I look her straight in her green eyes before I retract my claws, she goes limp an passes out.
I bend down next to the unconscious girl and remove her hod. I stare at a girl no older than sixteen with two white stripes in her aurban hair, and shake my head. I pick up the girl and drape her over my shoulder and head back to the jet.
