Surprise!-

It was another late night which had become common for Bobby. His recruiting missions had tripled in last month plus he was head of the Impact Unit who were in charge of tracking the cure. He didn't tell anyone that he had found a major supplier of the 'cure' in Manhattan, he refused too. Bobby enjoyed the independence of working the 'field' it gave him the freedom to whatever when ever he pleased. At times Bobby would be gone for hours sometimes and other times days. No one questioned him because he was given orders by Logan personality. On this day Bobby was arrived back early morning to the X-house and therefore missed all the excitement that took hold of the house hours earlier. He went unnoticed the curfew made it easy to come and out unnoticed. After showering he crawled into bed, tried he was asleep with in seconds.

When a cold 10 inch piece of metal slid across his warm neck; poking at the corners of his jaw. Bobby leaped a good ten feet in the air from his comma like sleep.

"It's time to get up Ice Pack…"

"Logan?" Bobby shuffled in his bed trying to fix himself from under the sheets. He was taken my surprise and it showed on his face. "What are you doing here?" his voice shaky as he tried to confront the pissed looking Wolverine.

"Get dressed"

"Dressed its 2am I just got home"

"Never asked were you been, I said get dress were going to have a little chat. I'll see you in the hall." Logan closed the door behind him.

"What the Fuck?"

Five minutes later Bobby and Logan started their journey threw the school. Logan face was peaceful it was creeping out Bobby he almost looked happy about something. Bobby knew that his facial expression was a sign of his doom to come. Logan only looked happy after a good fight or when he was going to fight. Each step with Logan was a nerve racking for Bobby it was his own personal green mile.

"Do you know why I get you do recruitments?"

"Ah, cause I'm good at my job?"

"Don't filature yourself. I gave them to you to keep yourself busy"

"Busy?"

"Busy. When you get bored you screw around… literally"

"…."

"Didn't think I knew about that huh? I know a lot more then you think"

"Logan listen"

"Can the bull Drake that two cent shit won't work on me." Logan stopped and pressed in the system codes.

"Ah Logan…"

"Get in" Bobby was in no place to argue with the man. So he stepped into the darkness. With the door closing as fast as it opened behind Bobby.

"Sure is dark isn't it?" Bobby was alone in the pitch black room "Logan?" it finally clicked that Logan wasn't there with him and there was only one exit.

"System On. Simulation street corner"

"Oh shit…"the bright lights flashed on followed by Logan's voice over the intercom.

"Were going to have a little lesson today just you and me on truths" he was in the control room good things lay ahead-Bobby thought

"Ah I'm not so sure about this…"

"Let's begin." A sentinel appeared a block left to Bobby it appeared to be turned off. There was no movement or light coming from it. Bobby was a little relieved that Logan hadn't lost his complete mind.

"Have you ever lied to Rogue on purpose?"

"No…"

"Wrong answer." The sentinel turned on. Bobby weaved in and out of the sentail path throwing blocks of ice and fast freezing its feet to concrete. He was able to take it down with some work but he remained in one piece.

"Have you told her you loved her lately?"

"Yes?" Two more sentinels entered the picture Bobby ran dogging explosives, shooting back hunks of ice to their chest.

In the middle of the action Logan continued "Have you been a supportive boyfriend?"

"Yes…" it went on for an hour, Bobby lying threw his teeth and Logan catching him each time. The danger room was specially designed the way that it tracked the heart rather and monitored the blood pressure when read right it could be a low key lair detector. Logan turned it up a level with each lie, every lie resulted in twice as many sentinels as before in total Bobby racked up thirty sentinels.

"Kid you just don't get this game do you?" four more sentinels stormed Bobby. He was able to find refuge by freezing the wall of a factory using it to withstand the blasts of the sentinels while lunching attacks back at them.

"Have you lied about loving her?"

"….No" he tried to sound confident

This time Juggernaut showed up hitting Bobby's ice wall along with the sentinels blasts.

"Don't know how much more your wall can take. Tell the truth…"

His wall was cracking fast; Bobby retreated to the second floor of the building freezing two sides.

"Did you cheat on her with the half pint?"

"….Ah no?"

That was the lat fuse; the walls of the upper building had been lifted off exposing Bobby in the corner. He was facing an army of sentinels, The Juggernaut while of a felt of mutants surrounded him being led by Magneto.

"Ok! I give in… I might have lied" Bobby knew that it was time to face the music.

The crowd of mutants and sentinels started to vanish.

"End Simulation"

"Took you long enough" Logan said entering the danger room. "Listen I shouldn't have to tell you that you're hurting her. Rogue close to me and I don't want some fuck up endangering her." Logan exposed his claws pining Bobby to wall "Now is the time more then ever to be a man" If Bobby wasn't so tired from the workout he would have peed himself out of fear.

"I can tell by your face that you have no ideal what the hell I'm taking about" Bobby shock his head in exhaustion. He was sweaty and weak ever muscle was tense. For a moment he didn't think Logan was going to stop.

Logan let go of his death grip around Bobby's neck lowering him to the floor. He gave Bobby and eye over –not understanding what Rogue saw in him.

"There is no way to say this. Rogue is pregnant with your kid" a rock appeared in Bobby throat it blocked his lung from working and his mind from functioning. "It's time to deal with it…" Logan started to walk away; he figured that by time sunlight hit the whole school would have told him anyways.

"One more thing Drake for your sake I hope you do right by her, I don't think you can handle any more of these late night chats." He said before leaving the stunted Bobby to collect his thoughts.

oooooo

Ok break!-

Thud thud thud….

Lately Ororo room had become the center of attention. It was clear to Ororo that sleep was a thing of the pass after taking over the school. She rose out of bed lazily dragging on her robe. The pounding not stopping for a minute

"Bobby? What is the matter?" she moved to let him in

"I need your help with this…"

Ooooooooo

Naughty, Naughty-

Rogue did promise that she would keep out of trouble. And she had no intentions of getting in any she was going to talk to Kitty in a calm fashion. Rogue needed to understand why Kitty felt it necessary to tell the whole school of pregnancy. She approached Kitty's room knocking on the door slowing.

"You can handle this…" she knocked slightly louder. It was after three in the morning, Rogue didn't want to wake up the whole school it was past curfew.

"Who is it?" Rogue didn't answer her, she continued her knocking.

"I said who the hell…" she opened the door a surprised to see Rogue pissed off face. "Rogue wait, you have to understand…" Rogue leaped forward punching Kitty in the face as hard as she physically could.

Kitty held her bleeding noise jumping on the bed to escape Rogue's furry. He head was pounding and her words ring in her head out of pain.

"Rogue I understand that you want answers but…"

Rogue leaped forward onto the bed fusing Kitty's bare hand with her own "Oh I intend on getting answers the best way I know how" Rogue held tight onto Kitty's arm, sucking in her memories. Kitty began to coke for air clawing at Rogue's hands. Her body turning stiff and her skin was getting paler with each second. Rogue's face reflected no mercy no remorse.

She pushed for more until it was becoming too much for Rogue, she was starting to strain herself. Her body started to crumble under the pressure.

"Don't fall victim Rogue. You can do this; finish her…. think of all the hurt she cause you. Take a little more and she will never disturb you again."

"Finish her."

"Do it" the low feminine voice echoed the room.

The words sounded almost real to Rogue as if someone was whispering them to her give her the permission she sleeked. She pushed harder and maybe she would have finished Kitty completely if a certain memory didn't fill her head. Rogue pulled back a bit shaken up from her explosive behavior. Her hands remained joined with Kitty's but her memories stopped carrying to Rogue's mind.

"Who said you couldn't take" a tall women with long blonde hair dressing head to toe in white walked into the light from the surrounding shadows.

Rogue dropped Kitty and she fell with thud on the floor. "Emma…."

"How did I get here? Your pathetic school is housing a student of interest to me. Then I heard your furry balling out, the screams were so blood driven from your mind I had find you, wasn't hard though" She clapped her hands shamefully at Rogue.

"I do remember you saying that you could never use your powers for 'bad'? This seems mighty naughty to me…" a slicking smile washed over her dry lips

"It isn't what you're thinking…" she said defensively

"Oh of course not, it's what you're thinking. I'm only reading your thoughts Rogue" she spoke coyly

"I wasn't going to… I just couldn't let go?" Rogue rubbed her head and put her hands over her face.

"Don't you dare! Don't you dare cry it's beneath you, this" Emma opened her hard to the room "This is all beneath you. You have unlimited power and strength." She took hold of Rogues bare hands "Look how much control you learned under my training, think of the places we can go."

"I am a…"

"An X-men don't make me laugh… look around Rogue they put you on the back burner a sectary come on we both know that you're more than that. You are one of the most powerful mutants I have ever seen….I've seen you unleash your power. Didn't it feel good to be the way God intended?"

Rogue originally joined the X-men to feel accepted with promise of family and community not jugging eyes. It was hard for Rogue to keep a deaf ear; no one had ever seen her as a true equal. She was the untouchable to so many. Now she was being offered a chance to rule a dynasty as a queen and to be treated as such in all its glory. There wasn't much left at the mansion for Rogue her time there was coming to depressing close. The place was driving her to madness, just thinking about all the horrible things she had done made her cringe.

"Emma, I'm having a baby"

"…I hope not forever. Think of the legacy you can leave. We can rule this miserable world, become the greatness you were always meant to be"

"That wasn't part of our deal. You can't make me join you"

"On the contrary I most definitely can, but I need you willingly…This is second chance at life Rogue think of the child"

"Sorry not happening I will never do anything to endanger my child" she placed her hand over her belly protectively.

"Do I need to remind you that you owe me for helping you get control…"

"I don't have full control…" Rogue had been sneaking out to meet Emma for assistant with her powers, between sessions with her and Ororo Rogue wasn't cured but she was starting to get a good grip on her strength.

"Don't test me."

"Not testing simply stating"

"You could have full control if you join me"

"Again not the arrangement…"

"I guess the arrangement is changing then, you want full control… to touch your baby….to have sex with your lover Remy… with out concentrating? Its time to side with the ones you can offer you life." She took a defensive pose crossing her arms across the room next to the door.

It was a damn good deal there was doubt about that Rogue pictured the possibilities; freedom to touch without losing her power plus unlimited strength and security. It was all temping but the ideal couldn't settle right with Rogue knowing she had betrayed the ones that took her in when she was broken even if she hated a majority of the school, there were some that were irreplaceable.

Rogue looked Emma in the eyes; her answer was a clear no. She gave left the honor to Emma to read it from her thoughts.

"Well remember this you made a deal with the White Witch and she always comes to collect" Emma Frost left room upset not defeated and Rogue knew she would comeback one day.

When Emma left Rogue's brain went to a zombie state, unable to understand how she almost lost the line between good and bad. She brought an enemy near death while making a new one. Things at the mansion have gotten from bad to worse for Rogue. She knew that if she continued on this destructive path she wouldn't be able to recover. Rogue decided that it was time to progress forward and lay the past to rest, starting with Kitty.

Rogue dragged Kitty over to bed, she was a tiny built woman so it didn't cause a lot of stress. She slipped Kitty back into bed pulling the sheet over her. Rogue worked on adjusting the pillows around her making it look like she had been sleeping the whole night. Taking Kitty's memories gave her a better understanding of the kind of person she was. Kitty was breathing normally when Rogue left feeling guilty once for what she did to Kitty. In the end Rogue found out the hard way that Kitty did do the right thing….

OOOO

Memories on the Phone

"Hey Pretty Kitty"

"Bobby Hi" there was a hint sadness in her voice

"I was thinking we could meet up Thursday to talk"

"Bobby I said no I told you what we had is over"

"Oh come on Kitty we both know that's a joke, that's what we do we break it off try to avoid each other but you know we always get back together"

"Not anymore"

"Don't try to pull that crap with me we both know that you and Peter aren't going to work. Stop lying Kitty" Bobby speaking with a cocky attitude

"Oh that's rich what about you and Rogue. Did you think that shit you've been telling her would make me jealous- I love you don't me laugh!"

"If you're not jealous then why are you freaking out?"

"Why did you tell Peter the ring is for Rogue he told me about that? The game was fun Bobby its time to put it to a rest now."

"What was I going to tell him that I got you an anniversary gift and not Rogue- ha I saved your ass too. Mine looks better though. We can do what ever now no one would dare question our loyalties.

"Bobby…What ever was there isn't anymore, I think it's time to good on those promises you told Rogue when you gave her the vale. No more shows it's time to grow up"

"What's sparking this Kitty…. this is us were talking about"

"No it's not us their hasn't been an us for a while now your been grasping at strings. Deep down you knows that."

"Do you really want to throw away all that fun we had? You can keep up with Peter I can float with Rogue it's fine…. I …"

"Hello? You there?"

"Then we could…."

"Bobby you're breaking up"

"No…. I can her hear you"

"Listen I'm just going to say I over heard Rogue she said she pregnant…..did you hear me pregnant…. I won't break up a family

"Kitty?"

"Hello….Bobby did you hear me? Hello?"

"…" The call had dropped. Kitty hoped that what she told Bobby she could live up to herself. She knew that Bobby didn't love Rogue as much he said he did, the game was different now it wasn't late night kisses and forbidden touch there was a new player an innocent child you didn't ask to be apart of that.

It was never Kitty's fault that students overheard her conversation with Bobby she was talking louder then she thought. Yeah she did say horrible things about Rogue in the past. However hearing the word pregnant made Kitty find her conscious real fast, it was like everyone had been finding there inner self perhaps it was Rogue's turn to make a independent stand.

'Is rising my child fatherless better then this drama? Could I do alone?' she questioned her potential all night while sorting threw Kitty's memories. More details about her and Bobby and Peter with added extra's of her childhood. It was going to be another long night.
