Kitty huffed as she turned to look out the window of the cab. Ororo had told them that Remy and Rogue hadn't returned home and were not answering their com links. Kitty had volunteered to go look for her two friends, but Storm insisted she take someone with her. Her first choice was Piotr, but he had a Danger Room session and was unable to go with her. She ended up getting stuck with Pete, who was more than happy to tag along with her.

Pete sighed as he turned to look out the window. They had been in the cab for over an hour and still were unable to find the southern couple. "Can we stop off at a pub?" Pete asked, finally breaking the silence.

"No!" Kitty told him as she glance him a quick glance.

"But I'm thirsty." Pete whined as he leaned back into his seat.

"No." Kitty repeated herself and leaned up in her seat to talk to the cab driver. "You'll have to excuse him driver. When you get to be his age, things get difficult. I'm his nurse." She told the driver and then looked over at Pete who was grinning at her. "Please tell me that didn't put dirty thoughts in your head."

"Too late, it did." Pete said as he continued watching her.

"Oh God. That's the last thing I need you thinking about: me in a nurses outfit." Kitty sighed. "Can we please drop the subject?" She asked nicely.

"Fine, luv." Pete replied as he tapped his fingers against the seat. 'Why the hell can't there be smoking in cabs? It's not like they've never smelt it before.' He thought to himself as the craving for a cigarette increased.

"So, how long have you been at Xavier's school?" Pete asked Kitty.

"Um, for while. I originally lived in Chicago, which I guess is now destroyed.." Kitty sighed to herself. She had called the night before to make sure her parents were okay. Luckily, they had been away when the Phoenix attacked. "I've been an X-Man now for a few months now." She told him.

"That must be fun." Pete said as he glanced out of the window.

"Oh yeah, it is. It's like wearing a big sign saying 'Please kill me, I like it.' But there are some really cool things about being one though. We don't get treated like little kids. I mean we still have special Danger Room sessions cause we like need them. Other than that, we get to go on missions against all these bad guys." She smiled.

"I remember the first one we went on. We'll we were supposed to go on it cause we weren't X-Men. Some of our teammates were kidnaped by these things called the Sentinels and the older people got to go, but not us. So, Piotr, Jubilee, Bobby, and myself all snuck onto the jet. We got into some trouble for it, but they did need us. After that, they allowed us to be X-Men. Then there was the mission after that, this creepy guy named Sinister. He was a freak. Jubilee and Bobby got yelled at by Storm for taunting him. But the guy deserved it." Kitty laughed to herself as she turned to look at Pete.

"HEY!" Kitty yelled at the ex-spy, who had his eyes closed and head thrown back against like he was asleep. She smacked him in the arm to wake him.

"Huh? Oh you're finished? Darn, sorry I missed it." Pete said with a yawn.

"You are such a jerk. I don't know why I bothered talking to you." Kitty folded her arms over her chest and looked out the window.

"Sorry, tell me it again. I'll listen this time." Pete told her as he rested an arm around her shoulders. She shot him a dirty look before she turned back towards the window and saw someone familiar.

"Driver, stop the car!" Kitty yelled and the cab came to a screeching halt. She opened the door and got out of the cab, leaving Pete to pay the driver. "Rogue?" Kitty asked as she saw her friend sitting on a wooden bench alone.

Rogue didn't acknowledge her. She just kept staring down at the ground. The southern girl didn't register anything or anyone until Kitty placed a hand on her arm. She looked at Kitty with her blood-shot green eyes.

"Rogue, what happened? I've never see you like this. Why didn't you come home last night?" The brown haired girl asked. 'And where is Gambit? I swear, if he left her out here I'll kick his ass.' She thought to herself then realized something. 'Rogue can fly, so why didn't she return home?'

"Ah." Rogue whispered in a cracked voice. Her throat was dry and new warm tears entered her eyes.

"You can tell me anything, what happened?" Kitty tried again. She saw Pete had paid the driver and was standing off to the side.

"We w-went out." Rogue stuttered. "Ah told him some things Ah didn't mean." She shut her eyes and let the tears roll down her cheek.

"Did you guys break up?" Kitty asked.

"Ah told him we should break up before we start havin' a relationship like Ah had with Bobby." Rogue replied and leaned her head against Kitty's shoulder.

"Then what happened? Did he walk off and leave you?" Kitty asked her.

"No, he's dead." Rogue whispered. Kitty fought the erg to jerk back and ask Rogue what she meant, but she stayed calm. She took a quick glance at Pete and noticed he was now listening in.

"What do you mean he is dead?" Kitty asked. 'There's no way she could have killed him. Unless he attacked her. No, there is no way they would do that.' She shook her head.

"This guy came out of no where. He was aimin' at meh and hit Remy instead. Because of meh, he is gone. It should have been meh." Rogue squeezed her eyes shut as a sob escaped her lips. "He must hate meh for breakin' up with him before that."

"Rogue. Gambit loved you. Ever since the guy entered the mansion, me and Jubilee could tell he loved you. There is no way he would ever hate you. No matter what you told him." Kitty tried to assure her. "Come on, let's get back to the mansion." She helped Rogue stand.

"I'll call another cab." Pete told the two girls as he walked over to the street.

"Ah don't think Ah can go." Rogue said to them.

"You said that this guy was aiming at you and hit Gambit instead. What did he shoot at you?" Pete asked as he waited for a cab.

"Ah don't know. This bright blue light left his hands and shot at meh. Then Remy pushed meh out of the way and took the hit." Rogue answered as she wiped her eyes.

"I don't think he is dead then." Kitty told her. Rogue looked over at her like she was crazy. "The same light hit Wolvie and Wanda. We thought they were dead too, but this Cable guy told us that they aren't. So that means Remy is alive too." She told her and gave her friend a small hug. "You'll get him back, don't worry. We'll also get Wanda and Wolvie back."

"Ah hope so." Rogue said to herself as a yellow cab pulled up.

X-Mansion-Danger Room

Bobby glared over at Alex who was making his way towards the other man. "What do you want, Summers?" Bobby asked in an annoyed voice.

"Just making sure that 'my girl' was away from you." Alex sneered at him.

"What do you mean 'your girl'? Lorna is NOT your girl." Bobby shot back at the blonde haired man.

"Oh, but she will be soon. I mean, I could kick your ass any day of the week. Who wants a whiny cry baby like you?" Alex smirked when he saw that Bobby was defiantly angry.

"Well, who wants a freak like you?" Bobby snarled at him. He saw Lorna enter the Danger Room and knew he had better finish this before she questioned anything. "Why don't you go comfort you brother? He just lost his wife." Bobby suggested to him.

"I don't need to. He lost her once. He'll get her back." Alex rolled his eyes and had no clue that Lorna was hearing what he said. "Besides, he'll get her back. If not, then he'll find someone else."

"Aren't you a loving brother." Bobby said as he looked behind Alex and at Lorna.

Alex turned around see why Bobby was starring past him. He saw Lorna behind him with an unhappy look on her face. "You make me sick." Lorna spat at him.

"Lorna, I can-" Alex tried to defend himself, but Lorna slapped him across the face.

"-don't talk to me again. How could you say that about your own brother? He's your family and is in pain from losing the love of his life again." Lorna shook her head at Alex as Bobby moved away from him and went to Lorna's side.

"I didn't mean it like that." Alex tried to defend himself, but Lorna stopped him.

"Don't bother. I thought you were a nice guy, I guess I was wrong. Don't ever talk to me again, Alex." Lorna told him before she walked off with Bobby.

Havok stood still as he watched the couple leave. 'This is far from over. She will be my girlfriend.' He thought to himself.

Cells

John stared at the energized bars. He had ran at them early, but ended up unconscious. 'There has to be a way out of here.' He thought to himself bitterly. The outside door opened and a white-haired young man entered.

"What do you want?" John growled at Pietro, who was standing on the other side of the bars.

"The same thing you do. I want Wanda back. They aren't doing anything. She's not dead!" Pietro shouted the last part in rage. He loved his sister deeply and having her gone hurt him.

"What? That light didn't kill her?" John asked as he stood up.

"No, it apparently transported her somewhere else." Pietro said as he began to pace before John's cell. "They aren't going to go look for her. They want to get Mrs. Summers back before they try to find Wanda again." He growled.

"What the hell is their problem?" John cursed. "Oh wait, of course. Jean was one of the first X-Men, so she is more important than Wanda. And since Wanda is Magneto's daughter, who gives a hell about her." He snarled.

"Looks like we are thinking the same thing." Pietro commented as he walked over to a set of buttons on the wall.

"What are you doing?" John asked as he eyed the white-haired mutant.

"Letting you go. We'll find Wanda on our own." Pietro told him as the energized bars went down and set John free. "Let's go."

John smirked and walked out of the cell. Pietro tossed him his lighter. "If the X-Men know what's good for them, they'll stay out of our way." John stated as he clicked his lighter open and produced a small flame.

The two men exited the cell area and walked down the hallway. "Hey John, when did they let you out of the cell area?" Domino asked as she leaned against the wall casually.

"Get away from me." John growled as he glared at her.

"Excuse me?" Domino asked as she squinted her eyes at him. No one told her to get lost.

"He's not supposed to be out of the area yet." Warren said as he came down the hall. He had heard the young man's voice and knew something was not right.

"We're leaving here for good." Quicksilver told them. "Now, if you don't mind. Bug off!" Pietro shouted and didn't hear X-23 sneak up on him until she pounced and pinned him to the ground.

Pyro saw the attack on his friend and sent a flame in Angel's direction. Warren quickly flew into a open room to avoid getting burnt.

"Get the hell off of me, X-23!" Pietro shouted as he tried to get out, but she stabbed his sleeve with her claws and kept him in place.

"What is your problem?" X-23 growled.

"I am going to find my sister since no one else wants to!" Pietro shouted. Bobby and Lorna had heard shouting from the Danger Room and ran towards it.

"John, calm down." Bobby tried to ease his friend, but Pyro looked at him like a maniac.

"I don't think so, Drake. What would you do if it was Lorna who was taken and no one did anything about it?" John spat at him as another flame entered his hand from his lighter.

"I would probably be the same way, but trying to kill everyone in your way is not going to help Wanda." Iceman told him.

"Wanda is my best friend and we are trying to find out where she is. At the moment, we can't do anything. We are looking though. As soon as we find her, we'll get her back." Lorna swore to him, but he only shook his head.

"I don't believe you." Pyro shouted at her and threw the flame at the two mutants. Iceman quickly made an ice wall to protect them from the flames. John was about to sent another wave of fire at them when he was hit by a dart in the next. "You'll pay for this." John said as his eyes rolled back into his head and he fell to the ground.

Bobby and Lorna looked past John to see Cable putting away a gun. "What happened to him?" Lorna asked as she bent down next to John.

"He misses Wanda." Bobby whispered.

"Hey, where did you get that gun from?" Domino asked Cable, who gave her a glance and then turned away.

"I brought it from my time. They need to be placed back into their cells and then we must find out where Apocalypse is." Cable ordered as she turned and started walking.

"You really need to lighten up sometime. Have you ever had any fun?" Domino asked as she followed him.

X-23 had finally calmed Pietro down by knocking him out. 'I didn't want to do that to ya Pie, but you left me no choice.' She thought to herself as she picked him up and walked towards the Danger Room.

Warren stood near the door way shaking his head. "Look at what we've been reduced to: attacking each other." He whispered.

New York Airport

Sam and Alison waited outside the terminal waiting for Sam's sister, Paige. "Are you sure this was her plane?" Alison asked him. Already many people had exited the plane and there was still no site of Paige.

"Yeah, she called and told meh that her flight was 180." Sam answered as a blonde haired girl came into view. She looked to be a few years younger than Sam, most likely sixteen or seventeen.

"Paige!" Sam went to greet his sister.

"Hey Sam." Paige smiled and then looked at the blonde standing next to him. "Who is this?" She asked.

"This is Alison Crestmore. She's from the school." Sam answered as the two girls shook hands.

"Nice to meet you." Alison said. 'Why doesn't she have an accent like Sam?' She thought to herself.

"Well, let's get goin'." Sam told the two girls as he picked up Paige's bag.

"I can't wait to see this school you've been talking about." Paige told him with a small smile as she followed him out.


"You want to repeat that to me again?" A large fat man angrily asked as he stepped up to another large man with a helmet over his head.

"Ya heard me. I could kick your ass from here to the moon." The other man yelled as he pointed his large finger at him.

"Oh my god here we go again." A man off to the side sighed as he leaned back in his chair. "I swear, this only proves that there is someone stupider than Blob." He stated as he watched them until a fly crossed his line of vision. He eyed the fly until he stopped on the table in front of him. Before the fly had a chance to move, the man's tongue extended out of his mouth and captured the fly and brought it back to his mouth.

"Can you do that somewhere else? I just had lunch." The brown haired man next to him said. "So, I'm guessing Blob and Juggernaut are arguing again?" Avalanche asked Toad.

"Yep. Thought no one could be stupider than Blob, then Mags brought in Juggernaut and proved me wrong." Toad told his teammate. He looked across from the table and looked at the other two people that had recently joined Magneto's team. They were brother and sister by the codenames of Sunfire and Sunpyre.

"Were you talking about me?" Juggernaut demanded to know as he turned to look at Toad and Avalanche.

"Why don't you all shut up or I'll rip your insides out and paint this room with them." Sabertooth snarled at all of them as he bared his fangs.

"Great, now kitty is pissed." Toad shook his head. There would most likely be a fight soon. Sabertooth looked for any reason to try and kill someone. The metal doors hissed open and Magneto walked in which immediately quieted everyone.

"Take a seat, gentlemen." Magneto ordered them. "As I discussed with you earlier about our plans for taking over Genosha, there are certain people I will need for it." He told the group and sat down in his chair.

"That's not going to be hard. All we do is go in and crush the tiny little people." Juggernaut spoke up and smashed a fist into his palm.

'Tiny and little mean the same thing.' Avalanche thought as he looked at Juggernaut. Before Magneto had a chance to speak again, the phone started ringing.

"Must there always be interruptions?" Magneto sighed as Toad put the phone on speaker. "What do you have to report?" He asked as he leaned back into his chair.

"Your daughter Wanda was captured by some mutant named Apocalypse." A male voice spoke through the phone.

"And what of my other children and Pyro?" Magneto asked.

"Pyro was thrown in a cell and your other children are still at the mansion." The person reported.

"Very good, Joseph. Make sure they stay there. Is something new comes up report it to me." Magneto told him before he terminated the call. "Now, onto important matters." He said.
