We have gained an addition to our team. A young man by the name of Piotr Rasputin; commonly known by Colossus. Rogue had taken it upon herself to help him secure his family's safety by releasing them from Magneto's prison in Istanbul. When I asked her why didn't she tell us she simply stated that we would had taken a long time trying to think of the right move and it was very dangerous so Logan would have never let any of them go. She did come back with a few bullet holes, scrapes, and a broken arm which was easily fixed when Logan allowed her to touch him.

The argument reminded me of when Scott yelled at me in this office about doing the right thing by saving the children in the school bus or by being self centered and thinking only of keeping our kind a secret. She knew that we would not approve, but did it anyway. In the end they came home alive and successful. So should I punish her? That is an interesting question.

I was curious about her destroyed van so I probed their minds. I know what they did and I know Logan covered to keep her here. I also know why she did what she did. Any student who was caught doing those things would be instantly expelled. I believe the reason I have let it go was due to the fact that I knew how much it would hurt Logan. I also knew that by expelling Rogue that certain members of the team would be upset and if I were to kick Gambit out the female populous plus Piotr would be very upset. So do I want disarray in my mansion? No. But should their deeds go punished? Yes. But when one ways the pro's and con's I decided to, let it go.

I also questioned myself. What if it were Scott? Would I get rid of my adopted son that I loved more than anything or one in the world? The answer would be no. Would I get rid of Jean? The answer would also be no not only because she is like a daughter to me, but also because of her rapid growth in her Pheonix powers. I fear that without me they are sure to escape. What if it were Kurt? Would I send him back to the persecution on streets of Germany? Would I send Evan back to the sewers? And if I let Rogue go where could she run off too? She didn't have a family out there. I am not heartless …

Like Dear Diary,

Pitor is here! I heart Rogue so much that I like swear for at least a little while I will not cook for her and I want like critique her clothes and like I'll stop destroying her closet. She is like the best friend ever. And like I will do my best in the field I know that Rogue like already appreciates my devotion to her so like I mean like…. I am like so freakin happy right now I can't like …. Gosh like…. Whoopee im so happy. I'll like write ya later bye bye!

Sept 16,

I think Rogue is trying to kill me with a premature heart attack. It wasn't enough that she got zapped by Apocalypse, drug off to the swamps, self possessed, and started to date that low down good for nothing Cajun ass hole , now she had to run off to Turkey and nearly got herself killed to save Pete's family without telling anyone. What the hell is running through her mind? We're a team and we stick together.

Damn it all I think she got this behavior from Gumbo. Maybe I should kill him the next time I see those ugly glow in the dark eyes. Why on Earth does she feel the need to scare me half to death? What have I done to her? Aren't a good parent? Don't I care about her? Didn't I get her that awesome van? Chuck makes it look so easy with Scott and Storm with Evan. GRRR

Gutertag,

Vrogue is my sister due to Mystique but I feel like I've known her my vwhole life sometimes and sometimes I don't. As team leader I respect her just as much as I fear her. On the battlefield I am not her brother just like Kitty is not her best friend. Vwe are a team of adults and she is our commander. At home she is my sister, friend, commander, and the girl that no one quite understands. I think vwhen she vwent to help Pete she didn't ask for our help not only because she felt like she didn't need it, but because she vwas helping an Acolyte an enemy. At first no vone vreally liked nor vwanted to help Gambit out. And I think she understands vwhat it is like to be the enemy. She started out as a brotherhood member after all, but she proved to us all by helping Jean and Scott out that she vwasn't entirely evil like vwe make the others out to be.

She understands vwhat it is like to be them and vwhat it is like to be us. She probably felt that she needed to help Colossus like Logan helped her. Most of the rest of us probably vwouldn't have done that for someone on the bad guys team. But my sister did! She's the best. Scott's a good leader for his bravery and capacity to hold us together but what I think makes Rogue a good leader is her experiences. How many people can be hurt like my poor sister and come out on top?

Jubes,

Where does Rogue keep finding thess hot guys to add to our team and since Pete is a new recruit he gets to be in my DR class with and I! It's a wonder I can focus at all with those sexy accents and arm muscles. I never really leave on missions, but I have seen Pete before and Kitty has told me that Pete's really a nice guy so I think we'll all get along. I've heard that Rogue went well … rogue and helped save his family. That was really sweet of her. I mean I really don't know her that well because she kind of creeps me out but from what I heard about her let's just say I'll never make the mistake of making her mad at me.

Dear Diary,

Rogue's taken over being leader of the Xmen and I am more than happy with that fact. Hopefully she stays the leader forever so that I can have Scott all to myself. I hate it that he always thinks of the team, that were a team, except were isn't just me and him. College has been great but I hate it that half the time Scott talks to Alex online to keep up with what is going on at the mansion. Maybe he needs a distraction ...

It had been painful to ignore Rogue. But he just had to do it. Only six more days then she'd barely go five seconds without having him around. Gambit wasn't happy that Rogue ran off on her own, but he wasn't completely upset either. It made perfect since that she was the one. Who else was going to be able to get the information out of Magneto without beating him half to death?

On the other hand he thought that he'd hate teaching the young students. The first day went as he suspected the girls goggling at him and the rest of them looking at him in doubt. After a while the class grew on him and vice versa. Sure the work wasn't always easy, but Gambit was not one for the danger room all the time. His father taught him outside underneath the sun like everyone else used to learn how to fight back then. So he brought them outside and got to know them.

Rogue didn't really want to be the leader because well she had a way of letting you know what she thought about you and her temper could use a little work from time to time. The first mission she went on with them was strange without Scott and Jean being there. The battle was easy since it was the Brotherhood, but a few things nagged her a little bit.

She knew it was hypocritical of her since she can't control her powers, but she failed to understand how Kitty couldn't phase threw every third thing that came her way. She also felt that Kurt wasn't using his powers to their full potential. He was always smiling as usual, but he always attacked head on. With Kurt's abilities he should strike more from the shadows. Also she felt that Bobby was a little one minded and didn't always mind his surroundings. Frankly she felt like he talked too much when it was time for action.

Rogue was happy that Evan had returned believing that he had learned to control his new found powers a great deal in the sewers. His problem however was that he always only wanted to go after Piedro no matter what. By now Quicksilver was well aware of the line of spikes that he threw to trip him. So instead of being helpful elsewhere he wasted a lot of extra time on an old rivalry. Of course she told them all this and they all flipped minus Kitty and Kurt. They were used to Rogue's tantrums unlike the rest of the team.

On her second and third missions she told them nothing nor did she help insisting that they should do it on their own. On the way home after the fourth run she pointed out their faults that she was trying to tell them. With a heavy sigh they agreed with her. Then since they weren't all listening she brought some things up with Logan and Gambit. Since DR sessions got harder she became public enemy number one.

And by the end of her first week she was challenged for leadership by Bobby. Rogue was upset since she had a history test to study for and just touched him ending the 'battle' in an instant. However, when he woke up he tried to attack her again. After he got painfully beat up no one decided to voice their objections out loud to her. Rogue didn't want to command by fear, but for now that was how it was going to be. Eventually, they did start to warm up to her for the most part and Rogue decided that she was ok with that. She didn't need their love she needed their trust. They all knew that she could be intolerable at times, but they also knew that they could trust her with their lives.

xxXXXxxx ….
