Jubilee paced the space next to the garage.

It was 2:30 and Rogue still wasn't home. Jubilee knew that Rogue went out with Pyro today. She knew that Rogue would've called her if she was staying with Pyro, wouldn't she? She and Rogue were best friends, of course she would've called. Unless she got hurt in some kind of way. Pyro could've…. raped her? Nah… ol' John wouldn't do that, would he? No, he wouldn't because Rogue was the most powerful mutant Jubilee had ever met. She had never met anyone with such power, not even Magneto or the Professor. Even though she was so powerful, Jubilee wasn't scared of her. She wasn't even scared of her even when she couldn't touch anyone. Rogue was nice to her when she came and they immediately became best friends because… she was different. Jubilee was just about to go up the hallway to go to her and Kitty's room when she heard the garage door open. She ran to the garage and covered her eyes from the bright light coming in.

"Where the hell were you? Were you really fuckin'– Wolvie?" Jubilee immediately saw the big hairy man that called himself one of Rogue's friends. Jubilee wouldn't say friend though, half the time, the old man would only stay for a few days and then leave again. She met him when she came to the Mansion and he was the Danger Room occupant when Jubilee was being tested. Instead of the scary man many children saw, he was actually quite the sweetheart if you were on his good side.

"Firecracker, what are you doing out 'ere? And watch your language," the gruff voice from the elder man said.

"Uh… I was just waiting for someone…sir," Jubilee smirked.

"Who?" Logan said whilst wiping his- no Scott's car from the grime he encountered on his way to the X-Mansion.

"Rogue," Jubilee said whilst she slowly crept back. Logan looked up.

"Rogue…?!" He said, "hm…… It's 2:43 you better get back to bed,"

"Sure, okay. Goodnight… uh… Logan," Jubilee said whilst getting out of the garage.

"Night Sparkler," Logan said whilst he looked around. Why was Marie still out? And what did Jubilee mean about fucking someone? Logan went inside the mansion and went to the kitchen. To his surprise Storm was out and it looked like she was making coffee.

"Logan, great to see you back," Ororo said whilst she poured milk into her coffee.

"Hey 'Ro, how's it hangin'?" Logan asked whilst he sat in one of the chairs.

"Quite well. We have recruited some new students actually," Ororo said whilst she put 2 teaspoons of sugar in her coffee, "do you want me to make you some coffee?"

"Nah, I'm too awake anyway," Logan said, Storm nodded.

"How's the Professor… and Boy Scout," Logan said. Ororo slightly smiled at the name Boy Scout.

"The Professor is okay although it seems like he is a bit stressed with helping the new recruits though. Scott? Well, Scott is… well, very depressed. On a good day he comes out at eating times and sometimes helps with Danger Room sessions. On a bad day, he doesn't come out, normally we have someone bring him food, the only people talks to are the Professor, sometimes myself… and Rogue," Ororo said.

"Rogue?" Logan said whilst he was reminded to ask Storm what the firecracker meant about fucking someone.

"Yes Rogue. Well, after you left Logan; Rogue started to become… lonely. Her relationship with Bobby ended icily – no pun intended – and she only really had one friend, Jubilee. Scott seemed to notice this and they sort of formed a friendship. They talked and laughed like how Scott was before Jean… passed away. I once asked Scott why Rogue was talking to him – because no one talks to her – and he said that she actually was broken. She took the betrayal of Pyro too hard – even more than Bobby – and that made her even more angry at Bobby because he got over Pyro leaving so quickly whilst Rogue was still sad. Scott likes her, not more than a friend but it is very sisterly." Ororo said whilst sipping her tea as she sat on a kitchen chair.

"Oh…" Logan didn't know what to say, but he knew one thing. "Ororo?"

"Yes?" Storm looked up from stirring her tea.

"When I came in, just now; I heard firecracker talking and I think she thought I was Rogue and she said something about 'fucking' someone? Does that mean anything to you?"

"Rogue is out?" Storm asked. Logan nodded. She sighed and then continued to drink her tea.

"From what I've heard, Rogue has gotten the cure. I guess she's out experimenting tonight," Storm said. Logan immediately growled and he unleashed his claws.

"What?!?! She's not even legal! A 16 year old girl shouldn't be looking for boys to screw!" Logan yelled. Storm sighed again.

"Actually Logan, she's not 16, she's not even 18 like she thinks she is. We got letters in the mail yesterday and it was Rogue's real birth certificates, her foster parents never really knew how old she was, Rogue didn't either. Her real birth mother sent them to us. She's actually 21. When she was actually 6 years old they thought she was 3. How stupid is that but I guess, we can't really blame anyone here," Storm said. Logan's eyes bugged out.

"What?! Does she know this?" Logan asked. Ororo shook her head.

"No not yet. We haven't told her." Storm said.

"Whaa?!?! Why haven't you told her yet? She's the one they mailed it to obviously!" Logan said.

"We only got this yesterday and since she got the cure we thought it might be better to wait awhile…" Storm said.

"Wait awhile? Wait awhile?! Why!? I know Marie is not my daughter but I feel like she is! And even though I respect you a lot Storm, I can feel your hatred towards her. It is not just a normal 'I dislike you' it's a full-blown 'I hate you because you did something' hatred. Marie not knowing that she's actually 21 is not good. Heck, it's horrible! It's just like keeping her childhood away! Y'know what I'm saying darlin'?" Logan growled. Ororo sighed.

"I do understand what you are saying but I think it is you Logan who doesn't understand the importance of Rogue not yet knowing her real birth date. Firstly, she's just got the cure and I- we think it'd be best if she starts getting used to the fact that she isn't a mutant anymore. Secondly, the fact that you already know from Jubilee that Rogue us out shows that she isn't responsible enough to actually know the fact that she is 21 and is allowed to go out and mix with the opposite gender since from her knowledge she is 18 and is a minor. Lastly, do you seriously think it'll make a difference if you tell her that she is actually 21 not 18? I mean it's only three years different, it is not like that will get her any friends at this place," Ororo sighed as she sipped the remains of her coffee. Logan growled once again.

"I don't know about you 'Ro but I'm telling Rogue that tomorrow… or whenever she gets back.." Logan said. Ororo just sighed once more.

A Couple Hours later… around 6am.

In John's City Apartment

John stirred slightly as he woke up from his wonderful dream he was having that included Rogue, him and his bed. John then opened his eyes and wondered whether or not the dream was actually real. He looked around and found himself naked, the beds smelt like sex and lastly there was a note on one side of his bed with a rose. A fucking black rose! He wondered whether or not that he actually had sex with Rogue or if his partner last night was just a person who looked like her. John slowly picked up the card and read the messily written note.

Hey Johnny,

I hope last night was as good as it was for me but seriously last night was the best night I've ever experienced. I know you might feel a bit… I dunno, used since I'm not there but hopefully you'll find this note before that happens. I'm sorry I had to leave before you woke up but I didn't want to raise any suspicion from my absence of last night. I also know that this rose might be a bit corny since it's also burnt… if you were wondering why it was black. I'd also really want to catch up with you again and don't think this was just a one night stand cos' I'll be back for more… ;)Also, saw your phone on your table and decided to put my number in. Hopefully you'll call me soon! Btw, this isn't just a sex note; I really do want to catch up with you for old times' sake since I really had fun with you the day before. Anyway, just wanna say, hope to see you soon…

Love Rogue

John smirked. Sure, he'd be back for a lot more.

X-Mansion… 5am (I know, I know, the other one is later! But this is my story!)

Rogue quickly jumped up the few steps to the front door of the X-Mansion. She quickly looked through the window to check if there was anyone there. Nope. Zilch. None. Good, she thought to herself, she might be able to do this one night stand with Johnny more than she anticipated. Besides, no one is awake at 5am anyway. She quickly got a piece of metal and shaped it into a paper clip. Rogue then unbent the paper clip and unlocked the door. Whoa, Rogue thought to herself; that was a bit too easy. But then as she stepped into the house, the freaking bell rang. And no, not the door bell, it was the emergency alarm bell that went: WEE WOO WEE WOO like a freaking fire truck! (Or Ambulance) Great… I am so stupid! I did not think at all! A – mutant – school is one of the most safest places for us, and I think they would just let people in with a few paperclip maneuvers. Rogue sighed for about the seventh time since the bell rang and it's only been half a minute. She quickly decided to run into her bedroom and pretend to be awoken by the loud alarm. She figured that she had around 1 to 1 and a half minutes before people would start to get up and do something about the alarm and check if there were any intruders.

As Rogue stepped inside, she stopped and looked around. Just freaking great, Logan is back. She caught the scent immediately as it was different than all the other people at the mansion. His scent was more feral in more ways than one. Not like Jubilee's scent which smelt like pop rocks, no his scent smelt like an animalistic dog or cat. No, not cat, Rogue remembered that Sabretooth's scent smelt more like a cat than Logan's. Oh and that Wild Child guy she saw when she went on a Brotherhood recruitment with Mystique.

Rogue quickly and silently flew into the house; she saw the Wolverine run out of the kitchen and ran to the door. Rogue hid in a near closet.

Logan unleashed his claws in that, 'Snikt' way. He then smelt the door and his eyes narrowed. The scent belonged to Rogue but… there was another scent on her, a scent that smelt like sex and ash mixed together. He then saw kids run downstairs in a scared way. Storm then caught up to him whilst flying.

"What is it Logan? Who is it? The government?" Ororo said quietly. Bobby, Kitty and Piotr then ran up to Logan.

"We got here as fast as we could. Do you know what came into here?" Iceman said.

"Everyone go back to bed, all I need is a talk with MARIE!" Logan said as he opened the broom door Rogue was hiding in. Everyone then stared at her. But instead of blushing like the old Rogue would do, she looked at everyone and glared at them. Ororo then understood and narrowed her eyes at the young Rogue.

Bobby shook his head, thinking about all the reasons why he actually dated her. Of course, she was beautiful, heck she was probably the most beautiful girl at this place. But firstly, he thought she was stupid. Why would she try to break in from the front door? All she had to do was ring the door bell! And now she was probably going to get a scolding from the big Wolverine! Wait a sec, when did he come? He wasn't here yesterday. He then felt a hand on his shoulder and looked into the eyes of his girlfriend.

"He came back last night, but it's good that he came back. The bitch got what she needs," Kitty laughed.

"Don't say that about Rogue. If you got to know her Kit, I bet you'd be the best of friends, she's actually really nice," I defended Rogue.

"Pfffft! Puh-leez! That girl is like a freaking retard! Like who'd like wanna get the cure anyway? It's like so stupid and like uhm.. like y'know crap! She's like such a douche bag!" Kitty said and then flicked her brown hair over her shoulders and walked away in her Jimmy Choo heels. Bobby shook his head; it was one thing he knew girls' shoes and another that he actually sort of went believed Kitty more than he believed Rogue. Maybe because she was his girlfriend and Rogue was his ex. He didn't know. Bobby then stopped and went to his room to catch up on his sleep.

Rogue was dragged by the mighty Wolverine and Jubilee was following. Rogue was wearing her light green sweater whilst Jubes was wearing her infamous yellow coat. Even though Rogue has told Jubilee many times that her coat looks more like a children's raincoat, Jubilee never seems to listen. In fact, it seems like she's wearing it more often now. Even though Rogue was much stronger than Logan, she didn't wanna cause a scene. The girl who got the cure shouldn't be able to push the Wolverine let alone fight him, so Rogue just decided to go along with it. She then felt Jubilee touch her arm in way that meant she had an… incoming call.

Does Wolvie seriously have to pull you like that? I mean, I know you can handle this but. If you did take the cure, wouldn't this sorta punishment hurt?

Rogue shrugged to her. The last time she was a real human, was a long time ago and besides, she'd have worst punishment before when she even was human. She remembered when she was a 14 and her powers started to arrive after she sent Cody into a coma.

FLASHBACK

Anna sat on her bedside table crying. Why oh why did she have to have such leech like powers? Why was she cursed like that? What did she ever do? Anna packed her clothes and accessories into a small green duffel bag and got her favourite green trench coat on and headed downstairs. She was immediately met by her raging father.

"Wha' the hell happened to young Cody? Whe' he came downstairs he had blue lahnes on his face? Wha' was tha'? Tell meh girl!" Her father yelled at her. Sure, he'd always been tough but, was it necessary to yell at her. She didn't know what was she going to tell him? Anna shrugged and said,

"Ah dunno," Anna sniffled. Anna-Marie really liked Cody; he was the only boy she could ever talk to. Everyone else was annoying but Cody; there was something special about him. Anna then felt arms gripping her coat and bringing her towards him.

"Wha' the hell happened Anna? The Robbins are a very respected family in this 'hood. An' ya mutant powas did something ta him! Tell meh! Tell meh ya disgusting mutant!" Her father threw her to the ground. She felt herself get bruised a little. Her tears ran down her cheeks. She didn't answer. Her father then kicked her and her ribs felt a bit battered.

"Ah dunno father. Please!" Anna cried.

"Ah'm not gonna let anything happen to this family to get thrown outta Caldecott County, so you bettah be gone in 10 minutes or Ah'm callin' the cops!" Her father growled. Anna's ribs were hurting so much she had a lot of trouble trying to get out of the house. She then ran out, holding her ribs, she then got picked up by a lady whose name was Raven. That was the first time she even met Mystique.

END FLASHBACK

Rogue then blinked some of her remaining tears away from her flashback to the past. Wolverine then walked past her and dumped her into the couch.

"Okay now, where the hell were you last night?!" Wolverine growled.

End Chapter.

Oh my god. Sorry that took ages. Well, I'll tell you my excuses.

I went to America and Greece for awhile and had a holiday there.

I then had a computer bug that went for ages.

Then I got Windows 7 and totally forgot about this story.

Then when I did realize about it, we didn't have Microsoft Word installed on the computer.

Lastly, only recently I got Word and I hate WordPad so I didn't use that. So yup!

I'm really sorry! And, MERRY CHRISTMAS! So happy it's Christmas time. Even though there is still a week left!
