Author Ramblings: Wow, I feel loved. I got three reviews! I know a lot of you might be saying "three reviews whoope-te-do /waves finger in circle in air sarcastically/" But to me this is a big deal! If this chapter seems poorly thought out that's because it is! Again, sorry if I steal some lines I don't mean to. If I do give me a holler and I'll fix it! Feel free to correct me on anything. Don't worry I won't bite your head off! Flashback normal

In Rogue's room:

She lay alone, holding back the tears. She hated to cry and she certainly wasn't going to over something so stupid. It still hurt though.

She glanced at her bedside table and saw a picture from before her days at the X-Mansion. It was a picture of her and the guys. They were all standing in front of the house. Blob was holding Toad up like a ballerina in one hand while holding up a sandwich in the other. Lance was smirking. Front and center was Pietro with a big cheesy grin and one arm around Rogue who actually had a real smile on her face.

Rogue snapped out of her daydream. She then pulled another picture out of her pocket. It was of the original X-men. Just thinking about them brought tears to her eyes as she remembered what Jean and Kitty said to her earlier that day.

Flashback

She just got back from the Professor, Logan, and Scott chewing her out for missing the Danger Room session. She ran into Kitty and Jean literally. Ever since last week those two had had it out for Rogue. She didn't know what she did and right now she didn't care she just wanted the peace and quiet her room offered her. But apparently Jean and Kitty were in a worse mood than usual and wanted someone to take it out on.

"Well, well, if it isn't the resident freak," sneered Jean.

"Like, watch out if you get too close she'll drain you dry," warned Kitty with a sick little smirk on her face.

Jean: "Where did you come from? Did the Professor finally kick you out? It's about time I don't think I could take any more of you stinking up the air here."

Kitty: "Like, you must've absorbed Toad before you left the Brotherhood. You certainly look like him. You dress like you're living in a dump."

Since she heard this kind of talk all the time it didn't really faze her, but what they said next chilled her to the bone.

"You should go back to the Brotherhood; after all that's where your mother is and you two are so much alike."

She didn't know who said it since she turned around before Kitty insulted her clothes. She just calmly went to her room.

End Flashback

Now she was right where they said she should go. Sometimes she missed her time at the 'Hood House playing pranks on the boys and having some played on her. Though the pranks were very few and far between because the boys weren't stupid like everyone assumed and knew what she'd do. She also got the opportunity to brush up on her pick-pocketing skills. Plus the boys had the funniest things to do to Mystique when she annoyed them.

In the Living Room at the Brotherhood House:

"So that's the plan, everyone got it?", asked Lance.

"Yeah. Oh man this is going to be so funny!" exclaimed Tabby with that troublesome glint in her eye that usually meant trouble and more money for her parents' therapists.

"Good. We're going out now. So everyone get the supplies they need and make it fast," Lance continued.

"You-did-not-just-say-that-to-me-did-you?" asked Pietro

"Wait what about Rogue?" Wanda worried.

"Don't worry, with "Mr. You talking to me?" going along we'll be back soon." Lance reassured.

They all proceeded to get into Lance's jeep as fast as they could, which caused an entertaining argument to happen. Pietro decided he didn't have time for this and zoomed off to the store. Finally after much rearranging they departed.

In Rogue's Room

It was quiet downstairs, too quiet. She decided to end her poor little pity party and check it out. When she got downstairs she found the house amazingly empty. She decided to figure it out later and went to the kitchen to see if they actually had some food in the house that wasn't moldy, gross, or moving. She opened the fridge and found nothing. So she settled for a lukewarm bottle of water.

Walking out of the barren kitchen she decided this was a great time to snoop. She decided to find out if there was any blackmail material she missed her first time here. First up was Blob's room, it was neater than you'd expect and Rogue was surprised. The bed was broken in the middle and somewhat fixed with duct tape. She went right to the nightstand and opened the drawer. In it were a chocolate bar and a newspaper clipping for his old act at the monster truck show. Not seeing another thing of interest she moved on to the dresser. She paused. On top, she saw, was a copy of the very same picture she had in her room and was looking at earlier. She smiled. Freddy kept the only picture she was in with the boys. She decided that was enough snooping in Freddy's room.

Next up was Lance's humble abode. Walking in she immediately saw a picture of Kitty and turned away. Then she saw his guitar.

After playing for a while she became tired from her bad day. She went back to her room for a nap but vowed to continue looking later.

Author Threat: Ok I didn't want to have to do this but I'm not posting any more until I get at least ten reviews. So the prettiest please in all the land I give to you (foreshadowing) with evil plans on top too.
