Rogue had known by the grumbling of the earth that she had better hurry, but Jean was in her way. Punching at the girl to try and knock her down and give herself room to get to the orbs, Jean had used her telekineses to take hold of Rogue hand before it had hit her.

"Let go'a me!" Rogue growled, trying to free her wrist. Her eyes shot in the direction of the orbs, then looked up. She watched as they soared off, her eyes wide.

She stopped struggling. "They… they left meh."

Jean released her then, seeing she wouldn't attack. "Magneto doesn't care about his lackies, Rogue. You're a tool to him."

"Ah know." Rogue hissed, and then the ground gave way. Both girls screamed and fell, fell, fell.

As they landed, Jean looked around. Seeing most of the X-men and Brother Hood there, with a look of confusion on their faces, she turned to Rogue. "What's going on?" She demanded.

"Wha don't ya find out fa' ya'self?" Rogue growled, not liking her tone of voice. And then, there was a great vibrating. Something large was coming foreward. Rogue thought she knew what it was, but she wasn't sure, and hoped she were wrong.

To her dissapointment, Rogue wasn't wrong. A large sentinal lumbered toward them, walked up, nearly squashing Toad, but he jumped away in time.

"Targets, affirmed." And with those mechanical words, the ground gave another great shudder. Everyone lurched back to the ground.

"Lance!" She heard someone scold, but his response came back clear.

"I'm not doing it!"

Slowly, the ground began to lift, to raise up.

Well, this is it. Rogue thought to herself. Magneto's plan put inta action, an' mahself all caught up in it. Damn him!

Rogue thought to herself.

The rumbling motion of the floor moving beneath them had set even the sentinal off balance, but as it came to a stop, and everyone managed to get their bearings, it came to blazing life, setting off a series of lazers at the mutants below, all of which just barely escaping it's fire.

It was a frenzy then as the sentinal pushed them back into the streets of New York, trying to kill them. Rogue found herself fighting alongside whom she'd been fighting, but with very little ability to do so. She managed to produce several more spikes before finally, the power was gone from her.

Looking around desperatly, she searched for someone with some helpful ability to tap into, but no one was near. There were, however, cameras around. She noticed that. People all over holding up news cameras. Rogue scowled at them. She disliked that they could sit in the back doing nothing but record while the rest of them fought for their lives. This was no longer Magneto's group against Xavier's against the Brother Hood. That sentinal was bent on killing each and every one of them. Well, Rogue didn't plan on letting it do that.

Whirling around, she saw that the sentinal had aimed something at her. Flinging herself backwards and into several backhand springs, she avoided three green balls of whatever. She didn't care to find out.

It was distracted, however, when something blue and fuzzy landed on its shoulder, then dissappeared.

Rogue nearly whooped in pleasure as she saw explosions go off in the sentinals shoulder, but it made hardly any effect. All it did was knock it back into a building, then it got right back up.

"Ah've got ta get near someone." She growled out loud to herself. She was defensless at this point, Collosuss' power always having warn off a while ago.

Looking around once more, she saw that Spyke had gotten caught in one of those green balls, and so had Blob. They were stock-still and clearly helpless.

Diverting her eyes, she looked back up at the sentinal. Something was aimed at her. "Shi-" There was a flash of green… and a flash of blue. She felt hands on her chest and she was knocked back. Looking up she say Shadowcat, the girl Piotr had a thing for. She had phased Rogue through whatever it was the sentinal had thrown at her, but she had little time to ponder it. Kitty had grasped Rogue's wrist and basically yanked her to her feet, rushing off and away from the sentinal.

"I like, don't know why you got left behind, but now we're like, totally on the same side."

"Tha side that saves our asses?" Rogue questioned, running after Kitty. She still had Rogue's wrist.

Kitty chuckled. "Yeah, you could like, put it that way. Isn't there anything you can do?" She asked, stopping now that they were at a good distance.

"Lihke what?" Rogue questioned sketpically. "Ah have no power 'cept mah own an' that's not gonna help meh rawght now."

"Alright, take some of mine."

"What?" Rogue questioned, surprised that the girl was offering. Only a little while before they were 'enemies.'

"Take some of my powers." Kitty repeated, taking off her glove.

Rogue shrugged and removed her own glove. She touched Kitty's finger, held on for but a moment, then let go.

"Whoa." Kitty swayed. "That was like, really weird."

"Unpleasant?"

Kitty blushed. "Rather."

Rogue chuckled and nodded. "Ah know. Now lets short circuit that sentinal." She said, before rushing at the robot, moving out of its path or phasing through the objects or beams aimed at her. As she actually got to the sentinal, however, it whirled around, suddenly facing a different direction. It froze, then jets under its foot started up and the force threw Rogue back into a car. She gasped for breath then watched as it flew up, targetting something else obviously.

"X-men! To the X-jet!" A woman called out. She recognized the voice as belonging to the windrider.

"Come on Rogue." Kitty said.

"What! Ah'm surely not welcome onta that plane." Rogue said, getting off the car and massaging the back of her neck.

"Well we can't like, just leave you!"

"Why not?" Avalanche was suddenly beside her. "This is partly her fault, and not long ago she was fighting us!"

"Unlike the Brother Hood, we're not like that." Kitty said firmly, and she reached out and grasped Rogue's arm once more. "Come on, I'm doubting you like, have somewhere else to go."

Rogue followed, to amuse her. She highly doubted they would let her come along, but if the girl wanted to try…"

Reaching the place where the plane was supposed to be however, it wasn't there. Storm called into her transmission device. "Charles, do you read me? Where are you?"

"What are your coordinates Storm?" The man's voice replied back.

"We're where the plane had been Charles."

"I'll be right there, make room."

It wasn't long until the plane did arrive. Once it landed, the others started to load onto it. Rogue just stood there, watching, but Kitty urged her forward. "Ya know Ah'll jus leave ta go back when Ah get the chance ta, right?"

Kitty looked at her oddly. "They like, totally abandoned you! Why would you go back?"

"Ah will." Rogue said simply, avoiding the question.

"Well, oh well. You like, need someone right now. Do you have anywhere else to go?"

"…"

"That's what I thought. Now come on!"

Rogue let her drag her toward the door, but as the got to it, Storm held out a hand. "Kitty… what are you doing?"

"Ororo, they like, just left her to be killed by that sentinal. We can't like, just leave her."

"What is it?" Charles's voice wafted toward them.

Ororo looked back inside. "One of Magneto's lackies was left behind. She wants to board." You could tell by Storm's voice she didn't approve.

"Now Storm, you know we don't refuse the needy. Perhaps she'll see that Magneto's no good for her and perhaps join the team."

Rogue scoffed.

"Come now, we must hurry."

Grudgingly, Storm moved her hand and made her way into the jet. Kitty pulled Rogue inside and they headed off for the mansion.

Sorry this took forever to come out, and especially that there isn't much to it. It's really hard choking out these entries right now but I'm hoping it'll get easier as I go on. Yep

Again, sorry for the delay!

Oh, and also sorry for any spelling/grammar errors... I'm not rereading it once I've typed it up.
