Chapter Two

"I'm going to get you." Bobby said, running and jumping into the pool. Rogue dove under water and came up on the other end.

"Really?" Rogue asked, slyly.

"Hey, no fair." Bobby said, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. "You know, this is the first time that I had seen you in a bathing suit."

"I hope you aren't mad that I took the cure." Rogue suddenly said. She pulled herself up on the pool edge and let her feet in the water. Bobby pulled himself up next to her.

"We already went through this. You are an independent woman. Just because we were dating, didn't mean that I was going to make all of your decisions for you. If you think that you made the right choice, then I'm right behind you. If you wouldn't have taken the cure, then I still would've been right behind you. I love you for you. Not for your mutant abilities." Bobby assured her. He cupped her chin and kissed her.

Just then, Storm's voice rang over the intercom system. "All X-Men report to the Danger Room."

"We'd better go." Bobby said, helping Rogue up.

When they got to the Danger room, Logan, Storm, Kitty, and Colossus were already there.

"What is it?" Rogue asked.

"A surprise lesson." Logan said.

Bobby and Rogue were about to head to the locker rooms to change when Storm stopped them. "Marie, since you don't have your mutant power anymore, I've had a friend of Charles make you a new suit. It's leather, like your old one, but the inside is lined with adamantium, the same indestructible metal that Wolverine has. It also comes with a helmet to protect your head."

Hours later, everyone was by the pool. "How did that suit feel?" Bobby asked.

"It was surprisingly light." Rogue asked.

Just then, the emergency buzzer went off.

Everyone jumped up. There was an intruder. Just then, Raven Darkholme, a.k.a. Mystique walked up to the pool.

"Hello." she said. Since she was shot with the cure, she has been really nice. Everyone relaxed. "I have news for you." She said.

"What is it?" Storm asked.

"People have been keeping a close eye on Erik after you injected him with the cure. We have news that his powers may be returning."

The look on Rogue's face made Bobby feel awful. "You mean, that everyone that took the cure will have their powers back?" She asked.

"No. not necessarily. Erik, along with Charles were level four mutants. I'm guessing your either level one or level two. He is trying to get them back." Raven said.

Rogue relaxed a little.

"What is it you want us to do?" Logan asked.

"You have Leech under your care right?"

"Yeah, as a matter of fact, he is playing basketball." Kitty said.

"Yeah, I look him there myself." Peter added.

"Well, Mr. Worthington is willing to make another batch of the cure, just for Erik. All we would need is a DNA sample of some kind." Raven said.

"Right now?" Bobby asked.

"Oh dear no. When we have more information and we think that he is getting powerful again, then we'll need it." Raven said.

"Okay. We'll do what we can to help." Storm assured her.

"Do you want to stay for a while?" Kitty asked.

"No, I have to get back. Hank needs my help." Raven said. "Rain check." she turned on her heel and was gone.

"Bobby, Marie, how's married life treating you?" Peter asked.

Rogue squeezed Bobby's hand. "Really good."

"Why?" Bobby eyed Kitty and Peter.

"Well, we were thinking of getting married too." Kitty announced.

"That's good. You can have my old room." Storm said. Since Storm was the headmistress, she was in Charles's old room.

"When's the wedding?" Logan asked.

"We were thinking of just going to a J.P." Peter said.

"When?"

"Tomorrow."

"Cool." Rogue said.

Just then, Kitty nodded to Rogue and Storm and all three women jumped into the pool, making the men jump in after them.
