Oh, this one's short too. Patrick and Austin let me go long enough so that I could get this one up. They were worried because I had just managed to make this one before I hit the slump. I got to my ideas, but I don't want to kill any surprises just yet, you're not allowed to find out the secrets until later.

Read and Review! Don't be afraid to tell me your thoughts on your story! And let me know any ideas you guys might have!

What's going on?

No, seriously. What's going on? That's the question that Patrick keeps asking himself, sitting in the living room with the rest of the X-Men, all of them watching the stranger who had been wandering around on the front lawn.

The professor let out a quiet sigh, sitting back in his wheelchair. He had just tried getting a glimpse into the boy's mind, and the scowl on his face showed that he hadn't succeeded. "I just don't get it, it's like his mind is empty. I'm not getting much from him, at all." Xavier said, sounding slightly frustrated.

Austin looked up at the professor, apology written on his face. "I'm sorry sir, but it's like I told you. I woke up in a room hooked up to a beeping machine. I took off right after that and found my way here."

No one seemed to buy his story, and that made Patrick worry. He wondered himself if Austin was telling them all the truth, but something about the boy in front of him seemed familiar, even if he couldn't quite place it. He seemed like someone Patrick had met before.

Patrick glanced at Rogue and then back to Austin. One thing was for sure, he definitely looked just like Rogue. It was actually kind of strange. If Patrick had longer hair, he knew that he'd look like Rogue as well, but seeing this stranger look like her twin was kind of disconcerting. It seemed like he wasn't the only one who thought that, there were a few other X-Men who kept glancing from Rogue to Austin and then to Patrick.

Jean frowned, obviously looking slightly annoyed. "I'm not getting anything either, professor. There's definitely something strange about this."

Xavier nodded his agreement, but continued giving Austin a strange look. Patrick spoke up, his eyebrows drawn together in thought. "Professor, I t'ink Austin woke up in a hospital, from deh sounds of d'ings. If it a local one we might be able ta find out what 'ad happened to 'im, dey might know more 'bout 'im."

Xavier thought about the idea and nodded his head in agreement. "Yes, I think we should find this hospital so we can find out just who Austin really is."

Rogue spoke up for the first time since they entered the living room. "Professor, ah think I might now who 'e is already." Rogue said, though she definitely looked unsure of herself. "Or at least how to tell if dat's who 'e really is."

Xavier and Patrick both looked at Rogue in confusion, while everyone else's attention was still on Austin. "Watcha mean, you might know him Rogue? I dun know any'ne by dah name Austin." Patrick said, knowing from experience that Rogue wouldn't have met anyone named Austin, at least from what he could remember.

Rogue spoke up again, fiddling her thumbs as she thought about what she was saying. "Well, deh thing is, I sort of had a dream again last night. An' in deh dream I was with two boys. One of 'em was you Patrick, and I t'ink deh o'der one was Austin."

Xavier and Patrick both had surprise flash across their face, almost at the exact same time. "And your certain that's what you saw, Rogue?" Xavier asked, the gears already turning in his head.

Rogue nodded, looking up at Xavier. "I din't say a thing earlier 'cause I wasn't sure if deh dream was real or not. But seein' Austin here now made meh t'ink dat maybe it wasn't just a dream. Maybe Patrick and I knew Austin when we was younger."

The three of them looked back at Austin, who had been avoiding the looks from the other X-Men in the room. "I don't think he's in the best shape to tell us though," Xavier said, just barely getting the words out before an alarm sounded throughout the entire mansion.

Well, that's the last chapter for today! I really need to go and work on the next chapter, so I'm not sure when it'll be posted, because it might take a little while for it to all get typed up. I left you at another cliff hanger, now didn't I? Why are the alarm's going off? Did someone break in? Was Evan just skating through the halls again and broke an alarm? Maybe Bobby got carried away and destroyed something in the DR control room. You never know, but you'll find out next chapter. Make sure you subsribe and review! The more you do the faster the chapters will be up!
