Remy paced the room; he had known that something wasn't right; he had caught glimpses of the real Rogue

Remy paced the room; he had known that something wasn't right; he had caught glimpses of the real Rogue. He had known that the Professor was in Rogue's mind but he hadn't known just how much was going on.

He felt so guilty however, he'd allowed them to lock her up, she had looked to him for help and he had let her down, he knew that he would make it up to her – somehow.

Logan stormed out of Charles' office with a disgusted growl. He was so angry with himself, the way that he had treated Rogue. He had sensed that something was off with her, but it was something that was out of her control, he had hurt her, threatened her, and treated her like crap and she was just a kid. He knew what it was like to be used as a weapon – that is what the government intended for him, to be a weapon; weapon X, but Carol had helped him to escape that hell-hole. Logan felt as though the guilt would eat him up, he had to make amends with Rogue.

Charles had told his tale and now he felt exhausted, however there was no time to rest, he had to speak to Jean and Hank and try to get a device made to protect them from the influence of The Shadow King.

Charles, Jean and Hank all made their way to Hanks lab intent on finding a way to block the Shadow King.

Scott and Ororo went to do some research to see if they could find out more about this 'Mesmero'.

Remy and Logan paced anxiously around the mansion waiting for Rogue to wake up.

At the Brotherhood things were tense, to say the least.

Mystique and Sabretooth had gone away for some 'quality time' with one another

Toad has holed himself up in his lab with his 'experiments'.

Magneto was tucked away in his office and normally this wouldn't be a problem, because that would mean that Amara and John would have the place to themselves, but now they had Boom-Boom appearing all the time.

"Hey Johnny! Hey Mari." Tabitha called cheerily as she burst into the living room.

Amara, who was sitting on Johns lap, ignored the blatant attempt to annoy her.

John just looked at Tabitha with a look of distaste on his face, he didn't care that she flirted with him, he did care that she went out of her way to humiliate and disrespect Amara.

Amara was John's most precious possession; he adored her and wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her in any way. Amara was the bright spot in his otherwise bleak life.

"Don't start Tabitha." John said seriously.

"Don't what Johnny?" Tabitha said flirtatiously. John gave a wry grin, there was no humor in that smile however, and his eyes remained cold.

"Don't be a complete dick Tabby." Amara said sweetly but her eyes flashed amber.

"Scared I'll take your man Maggy?" Tabitha taunted insolently.

"Enough!" John shouted and the pair looked at him in surprise.

"Tabitha, you could never take me away from Amara – never!" John said in the coldest voice both Amara and Tabitha had ever heard.

"Oh faced!" Amara said mockingly and grabbed John and the pair waltzed from the room.

Amara and John walked up the vast stairs to their room.

"Sweet Jesus Johnny, I've never heard you sound so mean before." Amara smirked and kissed him passionately, the two falling into their bedroom giggling.

Tabitha sat on the recently vacated chair and pondered, she was just eighteen years old and an immature eighteen at that, despite thinking that she was street smart, she wasn't overly, not compared to Amara and John.

She was an orphan and had lived in an orphanage since she was six, and then her mutation had appeared at fourteen.

She had the ability to create tiny little plasma bombs, it wasn't an impressive power by any means, but she had used it for petty crime, breaking into stores.

It was during one such time when Magneto had discovered her and brought her here.

As usual she had no friends, although she couldn't really blame them for not liking her. She had gone out of her way to antagonize Amara, purely because she liked John, if she wanted something she went out of her way to get it; but today John had shown that he wasn't interested and she didn't enjoy making a fool out of herself.

With a sigh, she fluffed her short blonde hair and headed out towards town.

Ok so you know a little bit more about Tabby, sorry if you're a fan of hers, but I was never that keen. Can you tell? :D

We'll be back with Rogue next chapter. :)
