When they got to Bobby's parent's Rose was glad to find they were out. She stood awkwardly in the corner of the kitchen close to the back door. She closed her eyes and took deep breathes. "keep going. Keep moving. Keep going. Keep moving." she whispered to herself.

"don't start that again Ro," Logan said softly. He was standing by the fridge, a bottle of beer in his hand. "you need to stay calm. Where is James, by the way?"

"I gave him to metal head with strict instructions of where they all have to go and what exactly will happen to him if anything bad happens to James." Rose started to nervously twirl the ends of her hair around her finger.

The back door opened. Rose jumped and spun round to face the people walking in. there was a scuffling on the stairs that announced the arrival of Bobby and Rogue. "hi," Bobby smiled at them.

"Bobby, we thought you were at school." the woman of the group said.

There was a moment of awkward silence.

They settled themselves in the living room. Logan and Rose stayed standing. Rose felt uncomfortable and stationed herself close to the door. She wanted to be near an exit. Rose blinked. She'd been so focused on trying to figure out why she felt so unnerved and uncomfortable about being out of the school, that she'd not paid attention to what had been happening since Bobby's parents and brother had arrived. She'd felt worried and uneasy since she had come round in the school. Something told her something wasn't right and whatever wasn't right was going to show its unwanted, ugly head very soon. At present there was a long haired, grey cat sat on the coffee table licking at a tea cup shaped block of frozen tea. She smiled to herself at the sight. The cat looked up at her. It jumped off the table and walked over to her. She bent down and patted its head. She glanced over at Logan. He looked back and grimaced. Bobby's parents were proving to be difficult. They seemed unwilling to accept the fact that Bobby was a mutant. Annoyance boiled up inside Rose. She just wanted to get moving again. Se felt the more she kept moving the more the she would out run her unease. But Bobby's parents were making it hard. She was drawn out of her reveries by Bobby's brother storming past them and upstairs. He threw a deathly glare at Rose has he passed. She returned his glare with a piercing stare of her own. She even let out a quiet growl. He ran up the stairs quicker. She grinned smugly until she Logan shook his head at her. Her unease grew. After a few minutes of zoning in and out, having moments of listening to the conversation and making non committal facial expressions when she wasn't paying much attention and Logan glanced over at her. A sudden sound of cars outside made her ears twitch. She closed her eyes and opened her senses. She had a sudden brainwave. Help! Jean we need help! We're in Boston at Bobby's house. Something's not right! she thought. She sent out the telepathic message. Hoping that Jean would respond.

She panicked suddenly. She had reached the peak of her uncomfortable nervousness. She began to sweat and her breathing became heavy. Logan took hold of her arm and lead her into the kitchen.

"we need to get out of here as soon as possible. I have a really bad feeling. We need to go. Something really bad is going to happen." Rose said. She paced around nervously.

Logan looked past Rose and out of the kitchen window. "I couldn't agree more." he said. They stalked back into the living room. "we need to go. Now." he said. Bobby, Rogue and John stood up sand they all moved back to the kitchen and out of the back door. They rushed onto the porch. There was a squad of police cars all turned towards the house. The police inside them had opened up the doors and hid behind them. Their guns pointed through the open windows at them. Both Logan and Rose had walked out of the house with their claws unsheathed and hands, though hanging loosely by their sides, balled into fists and ready to throw a deadly punch at a moments notice. From out of no where two shots rang out. Both Rose and Logan dropped to the floor. A small bullet hole in their foreheads. Rogue screamed.

Somewhere in the fuzzy haze that was Rose's mind she heard the scream. She heard police scream for them to get on the ground (but I am on the ground), she heard two people drop to the floor next to her. She heard the police scream at someone to get on the ground (but they're on the ground). After a moment or two she realised that only two people had dropped to the ground. She heard someone say "you know all the mutants you hear about on the news? Well I'm the worst one." she wanted to laugh but she couldn't she wanted to move as she heard the sounds of whooshing fire and cars explode. She wanted to tell John to stop it. It wasn't their fault. The police were just doing their job. John shouldn't hurt them. She felt a surge of power next to her. She felt her own energy and power draining slightly. Rogue had put an end to it. Slowly the haze began to clear. Her head throbbed a few times and she felt the bullet being pushed out. "that hurt." she muttered to herself. Rose and Logan both stood up straight.
