As she's walking with Bobby at her side, her eyes are suddenly drawn to that fountain, and she sees those two people, the happy couple, laughing and skating all around. Per usual, she's entranced by them, unable to tear her eyes off the delight flowing out of them, clear in their body language, clear in their faces, clear in their smiles.

Except, this time it's different. Maybe it was because her mind was clearer than it has been in a long time, or because that haze from the visions were gone or just because Bobby was here, but something had changed. This time those faces become clearer, faces smoothing out, and with a jolt Kitty realize it was herself there, laughing and skating in circles, her and Bobby. She watches enraptured as she clumsily skates around in circles with Bobby at her side, noses red, eyes dancing with happiness.

"Kitty?" She blinked, and the images disappear. She's disappointed for a moment before turning back to Bobby. He's looking at her worriedly, and gently nudging. Kitty shakes her head slightly, and he thankfully drops it.

Across town, Marie has finally reached her location. She looks around quickly to make sure no one was following her or looking at her suspiciously before knocking on the door.

Kitty smiles with Bobby as she watches the newest student, Clarice Ferguson, peeks at James, smiling shyly before turning away quickly when he notices her. There's a grin spreading across her face, faster than the blush rising up. He smiles as well, and makes sure to catch up with her as she starts to walk inside, books held tightly against her chest.

She recognizes them both from her dreams, though they are currently younger.

A hand reaches out, and grabs Rogue quickly, almost slamming the door behind them.

"Were you followed?" The voice hisses impatiently.

Kitty and Bobby will call you crazy if you ever mention this, but they immediately start placing bets on the two. Kitty bets ten that they'll be together by at least next month, with all the friendship steps that they would both take. James was a chivalrous person. Bobby thinks they'll be kissing by next week.

Blink and Warpath were a great duo, and they often took surveillance duty.

"No. I double checked." Rogue said back, her southern accent showing. "We're all good sugar, don't worry. Our secret is safe."

They watch with wistful looks as Jean smiles while she and Scott walk among the gardens, hand in hand. Jean actually giggles as Scott lovingly places a kiss on the top of her head.

Jean and Scott were one of the firsts to go down, one of the firsts captured and sent to be killed immediately, both deemed too powerful to keep alive.

"Well then, come along," She smiles at Rogue. "We've been waiting for you."

Kitty waves happily at Ororo as she waters her plants carefully, and Ororo smiles back and-

A lifeless Storm was thrown off the the Sentinal's blade, attacked from the back.

Rogue raises an eyebrow. "Oh really? Because last I checked, My answer was a solid maybe, inches towards no."

They say a polite hello to Piotr as he silently sketches out an image of the children laughing in front of the giant tree that Kitty used to visit everyday. The dreams have stopped coming as much, and she suspects that the grand finale is about to happen soon.

Kitty sees in her mind his metal body being ripped in half by sentinels.

"Oh, we knew you were going to see things our way soon." Rogue didn't look convinced. "Okay, some of us didn't think you would actually come. But you're here now, and that's all that matters. You chose wisely."

Bobby, not her Bobby, the Da Costa boy, runs past her, laughing and flaming.

He gets cooled down many times by sentinels.

"I'm sure I did." Rogue watches with satisfaction as the members of the house recoil slightly she smiles at them, a wolfish glint in her eyes.

Wolverine nods at them as they pass him walking with the Professor.

Kitty gets a flash of his unmoving body, eyes tightening as Kitty pushes more power into the connection stabilizing him.

"Have your powers resurfaced?" Rogue nods. "Good. Has anyone found out?"

Jubilee runs up to greet them, laughing happily before bouncing off somewhere else again. Never could stand still, that Jubilee. Always happy, always cheerful, always up to something.

Kitty shakes off the image of her dead body laying on top of Angel's.

Rogue shakes her head. "The charm you gave me covered it up. Besides," A hint of bitterness enter her voice. "The few people who usually would notice are to preoccupied on other things. Actually, everyone's too busy being preoccupied by Kitty to notice."

Pietro is running around everywhere, still keeping a careful eye on his younger sister Lorna as she talks boldly with Scott's older brother, Alex Summers. They seem to be having fun, Lorna is laughing with her head tilted back, mouth open and green hair tumbling down. There is a carefree look, and for a moment Kitty sees her dead body, sliding lifelessly of a Sentinel's arm.

The woman nods in satisfaction. "Good, we have to move quickly. When the government catches wind that the cure doesn't work, when the X Men find out, the first people they're going to come for is us. We have to delay this as much as possible as we recover and regroup. At least there's one good thing about that girl," Rogue is satisfied to hear the note of distaste in her voice,"throwing that temper tantrum of hers."

So many die in that future.

They had finally reached their destination and the woman slowly slips behind the man sitting on the chair in front of Rogue.

They go their separate directions at the basketball court, Bobby going to join his friends, and Kitty going to join Elle, who is meditating by herself in a small grassy area.

"Hello my dear." Magneto says, smiling pleasantly at her.
