Disclaimer: I don’t own X-men and if I did Alex and Lorna wouldn’t be off together right now and Jono never would have lost his powers oh and romy would get more panel action.

Summary: What if the X-men never found Rogue in Self Possessed? What if she was found by four other mutants and her life at the X-mansion becomes a thing of the past? Couples will be introduced later. (Not an OC story.)

Need’s a Title

The Beginning

Rogue stumbled across the bare rooftop. Her vision was starting to get a tad blurry. She imagined it was due to the throbbing pain throughout her head. She groaned and slowly made her way to the ground. She shook her head as Sabertooth began trying to hack throughout her head. It was bad enough that she had all this commotion going on in her mind, but she had to face the fact that her best friend for all this time, was no other than Mystique. Then, there was the factor that Mystique had adopted her. That horrid blue woman was Rogue’s mother.

“Are you okay?” a voice asked. Rogue couldn’t tell if it was a voice from inside her head or one from in the real world. She studied the voice patterns of the person. She had never heard it before. The Southerner opened her eyes and looked up. A girl, about nineteen was standing in front of her. She wore a long black leather coat, and a black leather outfit. She had her dark hair up in a fancy bun. Her eyes were a cold blue that dark make up surrounded. Two unusual facial tattoos lay underneath her eyes.

“A-Ah’m fahne.” Rogue stammered. The girl shook her head.

“You hardly look it.” She spoke.

“Ah don’t know if this is real. Tell meh yoah name.”

“My name is Tessa. You can also call me Sage.”

“Yoah not in mah head. Ah can’t feel you.” Rogue mumbled as she shook her head. Her eyes began to glow red. “Get away.”

“I can help you.”

“Just please, get lost. Ah can’t hold it in.”

“I know.”

“Just leave meh alone. Ah can’t contain it.” Rogue whispered, tears streaming from her eyes. “Just go away.”

“I am going to help you.” Tessa repeated. Rogue frowned and grabbed the sides of her head. She could feel Jean’s psyche taking over.

“Can’t help meh.” She uttered.

“We can try, Luv.” Another voice announced. Rogue yelped as a glowing pink blade was shoved into the top of her head. She instantly fell over.

“Well, so much for me talking to her.” Tessa said, rolling her eyes. She looked at the figure behind the unconscious teenager. A woman with long flowing purple hair stepped forward. She just grinned.

“Sorry, Tessa, but you my friend were taking too long.” She pointed out. “And we have girls in the car who have school tomorrow morning.” She added as the loud sound of a honking horn was heard. The woman rolled her eyes. “They also can’t wait five damn minutes.”

“We can’t just take her. That’s abduction, seeing as you knocked her out.” Tessa stated.

“We’ll bring her home, fix her up from this mess and then she will be free to do whatever she bloody well wants.” The woman replied as she picked up Rogue in her arms. She was careful not to let her bare hands touch any of Rogue’s chalk white skin. “We have to move quickly.”

“They are going to notice that she is gone. They will look for her.” Tessa uttered as the two females walked to the edge of the roof. They both jumped down and landed on their feet.

“Ah, how I love that part.” The woman commented as they walked over to a long black limo that was parked not too far from the building.

“Betsy, she is part of that mutant team, the X-men.”

“I know. I know all about them. She is in better hands with us. We can help her much more than Xavier and his children ever could.” Betsy snapped. The doors to the back opened up and a girl with green hair helped the older females place Rogue into the back.

“This is the one you guys have been stalking?” she asked with a cringe.

“We don’t stalk, we research.” Betsy commented. “Where is your little friend?”

“Domino is in the driver’s seat.” The girl scoffed as Rogue lay in the seat across from her. “Why is she unconscious?”

“Betsy decided to stab her in the head.” Tessa sighed. She walked up to the front of the car. “Domino get in the back.”

“Nah, I’m, fine up here.” The lanky teenager replied. Betsy rolled her eyes and yanked her out of the front. She pulled her back to the end of the car. “Why must you wear that damn hood?”

“Well we’re in Bayville. I wanted to fit in.” Domino replied as she pulled off the hood, revealing her face. She smirked as the black spot over her eye shimmered in the moonlight. She unzipped her sweater and crawled into the back. She instantly noticed Rogue’s unconscious body.

“Yeesh, she put up a fight?” she asked.

“No, Betsy stabbed her in the head.” The green haired whispered. Domino rolled her eyes.

“Lighten up, Lorna, she’ll wake up.” She spoke.

“I just wana go home.” Lorna whispered as her eyes watered. “I don’t belong here. I belong in Hawaii.”

“Oh shut up with that. Get over him. He’s with that Annie chick now.” Domino scoffed. “Besides, we have a new friend to pay attention to. Something tells me that she’s got a history just as bad as, or worse than ours.”

The car started up and all the doors shut. The limo drove away from that building, as if it had never been there. It was unknown what would happen with Rogue, but what Tessa had studied, it appeared as if Rogue’s life with the X-men was as good as dead.
