"Stripes?Stripes?!?!"

Logan was doing his daily rounds checking to see if everything was okay.
Right as he passed Rogue's room he started smelling tears and hate.

"What the heck?"

He peeked inside to see Remy staring out the window. Cigarette in hand.

"What did ya do now?"

"Not'in'. She jus' up 'n' left."

Logan smelled the room to smell a female cajunwith a hint of revenge.

"Name all girls from Louisiana who want revenge on ya."

"Belladonna and Candra.:

"I've met Bella, but not Candra and this scent is strange."

"Merde! She would do somet'in' like dis! Remy gotta find 'n' apologize to her."

He was starting to leave when Logan stopped him.

"I wouldn' do that. Rogue angry at you plus you showin' up ain't always a good idea. If ya do go your takin' me, Pyro, and Wanda."

"But moi 'n' Rogue got ta settle dis."

"Gumbo, look at what happened the last time ya did that on your own!!"

Remy glared at Logan, but he ignored it. When Logan shoved a phone at him he looked at him puzzled.

"Ya got some phone calls to make, cajun."

3 hours later-

Rogue walked up to the mansion and knocked on the door. When Jean Lucanswered her heart stopped. What if they wouldn't except her back? What if they threw her on the streets?

"Hey Jean Luc."

"Anna?"

"It's meh, shugah."

When he scooped her up in a hug she knew she would be safe and welcome.

Home was the place you felt like people loved you.

Rogue knew she was home.

"Merci, Jean Luc."

Jean Lucknew why she said that. She was thanking him for taking her in again.

"Chere, we are jus' glad your back."

Rogue walked inside, but the sight didn't please her. Inside were the dead bodies of Merci, Tante, Henri, Lapin, and Emille. Above them stood Candra, Belladonna, and Julien. Julienwaisted no time in throwing a dagger at Jean Luc'sthroat. When Jean Lucfell into her arms immediately dead she looked up. Her eyes were full of hatred.

"Rogue we thought you would catch on faster."said Candra

~Rogue! Let us help you, girl.~

Pippa's voice said.

~Rogue wait for the others.~

Mystique's warning ran through her head.

As she stood they saw the smirk on her face and the hatred in her eyes.

"Ya know......Julienah can see doin' this, Marius even, Bella would for revenge, but ah can' see what's in this for ya Candra."

"Ah've got mah reasons."

Julienattacked her first, but she was ready for him. She dodged his fist and grabbed his elbow, twisting it hard enough to break it. When he kicked she jumped over and elbowed the top of his knee making it broken. He fell on the floor and Rogue looked at her next component. Belladonna. As she fought him Candra went outside and saw the people she was expecting. Remy, Logan, Wanda and John were all in fighting positions, expecting her to fight. Candra laughed.

"Ah ain' gonna fahghtya. This is between moi and Rogue and the rest of the Ripers."

"Quoi?!?"yelled Remy.

Candra waved her hand and all 4 of the mutants were stuck.

"Enjoy."

Remy knew that Rogue would be able too survive. She just had to.
