Rogue awoke from her deep slumber to the warmth of the sun caressing her bare skin through the window's glass. From the feel of the warmth on her skin she could tell it was late morning. Outside she could hear muffled cries of happiness, all blissfully ignorant to the events that had come to pass only a short three weeks ago.

Apocalypse was gone his terror defeated. The younger mutants had gone back to their usual rowdy selves storing the terrible events in the dark corners of their minds. The older mutants dealt with it in their own manners each changing to adapt from the bad situation that had been thrown upon them. Each had grown slightly in their own way a change that in the months and years to come would show more profoundly. Rogue though still hid herself from those she wasn't as close with, though new friendships and loyalties had formed between the others involved, she still kept to herself with only one new person allowed into her untouchable life.

Walking to her glass door she looked out watching as the younger students splashed playfully in the pool, while the older students sat sunbathing at the poolside. As she watched she felt a slight chill cross the edges of her skin. She should have realized that in that moment something bad would happen, but beating a mutant as powerful as Apocalypse made her more oblivious to the oncoming danger, a danger no one would have expected to cause chaos so soon. It was after the chill had left her skin that everything froze as though the world clock had frozen for a moment stopping only time itself. Rogue though still remained as she was unfrozen and watching, as she watched a blinding flash lit her room penetrating deep within her mind causing her to slump heavily to the floor unconscious. Strong arms picked her up and teleported the pair away, in that some second the time unfroze. The mutants all obviously went back to their own devices, continuing as they were only moments before.

Only one other person in the world wasn't as obvious as the rest.

A/N: Will hopefully end up being a ROMY in the end but is still in the starting stages. Let me no what you think and ideas for the name are very much welcomed
