"Hey Logan. How's it been?" Anna said slowly turning around. The feral mutant looked exactly like he did five years before. Guess having a healing factor for your mutation had some perks.

"I would have been better if we had known where you disappeared to that night. The Professor tried to find you, but couldn't locate you." Logan said gruffly. As he had been talking to Rogue, he had been observing the two men that came with her. "We thank you for returning her to us, but you can go now."

"Sir, I'm her boss." The older of the two responded sardonically, almost like he couldn't believe that the other man believed that they were just dropping Anna off. "And she's a very qualified member of my team. And we actually came up here to ask you a few questions about one of our marines."

Logan appeared to take offense to that comment, and started to puff up. The surrounding mutants took slight steps back to be clear of the impending altercation.

"Why don't we all take this to the Professor's office?" A voice asked from the front door of the mansion. In the door stood Scott Summers, the X-Men's leader and pain in Logan's ass.

The X-Men turned to go inside without question, well all but Logan did, but he followed just the same knowing that eventually they would get Rogue's reasoning. Tony and Gibbs looked toward Anna in a silent exchange between team members.

Following Scott into Professor Xavier's office, the three NCIS agents found that the entire X-men team had been called to join them. Meaning the whole X-Men team was watching the federal agents with varying expressions. Rogue guessed they were not going to be able to get straight to work, some members looked like they wanted an explanation for why she left.

"Where have you been Rogue?" Bobby asked once he got over the shock of who had walked into the room after him. "We got back from Alcatraz, and you weren't here. We assumed that you went for the Cure, but you never returned."

"I had other things that I wanted to be doing with my time that didn't include sitting in high school classes, and playing hero. And I'm not Rogue anymore." The Southern mutant ground out. She didn't want to be reminded off what she used to be like, the meek little girl she had turned into when she first arrived at the mansion.

"No, you'll always be Rogue." Logan said.

"That's just what you guys didn't understand." She cried. "I was never Rogue. And now we have to get down to business. I didn't return here to rejoin the X-Men. We came because we have a job to do."

"And just what is that job?" Remy Lebeau drawled from the opposite side of the room as the three new comers.

"NCIS." Gibbs answered.

"Naval Criminal Investigative Services," Tony stated after noticing the blank stares that Gibbs received from his statement. "And we are here because yesterday a marine was murdered and he had a dog tag in his possession, indicating his involvement in a Weapon X program. Agent Darkholme informed us that one of you had some personal connection to the program."

"Isn't Mystique's name Raven Darkholme?" Kitty spoke up for the first time in the office, looking toward the Professor for some clarification.

"Yes, Mystique's name is Raven Darkholme," Anna responded to Kitty's question before the professor had the chance to answer.

"And the reason you suits are believing the word of that terrorist," Scott said incredulously.

"Who is this terrorist they are talking about?" Gibbs asked looking at Rogue with a raised eyebrow.

"It just so happens that Raven Darkholme is my mother," Anna said quietly, this announcement was met with shocked silence, from both parties, they had all learned something new in regards to the Southern woman standing before them. "But I am Agent Darkholme, so I know for a fact that you have some knowledge pertaining to Weapon X, I have your memories rolling around in my skull."

"Why didn't you ever tell us that Mystique was your mother?" Peter asked quietly looking at the girl who'd sit with him for hours in the library, and neither would ever utter a word.

"Just what would you have done if, I just casually told you, 'By the way, my mother is a terrorist and I was trained by her ever since I could walk'? I'm thinking that it would not have gone down well in either of my lives," Rogue stated giving Gibbs and Tony an apologetic shrug. "You already walked on eggshells around me, so I hid certain aspects of my life that would single me out as more of a freak then I already was."

"Certain aspects, as in plural. What else were you hiding from us?" Storm stated calmly from her seat next to Logan.

"I don't see where that information has any impact on why we are here. So I refuse to answer any more questions about my life." Rogue answered stubbornly, just as Tony knew she would. She'd been answering that same question the same way for the last twelve months.

"Well Darlin', that's where your wrong. I don't feel like answering any of your questions, until our questions are answered." Logan said smugly leaning back in his chair.
