You'll see why I introduced Apoc so early, in a second. Thanks for reading, I just wrote another scene. Glad to see other X-Men fans that have imagination and writing ability as well. I like yours.
Okay, I'm just re-posting this scene because it's on a new page. And I'll correct some typos..
(opening scene)
FADE IN
Present Day. Cairo, Egypt. A group of Egyptologists of British origin are excavating ruins in a dry arid desert. The men are dressed in white garb, holding water canisters and sweating profusely. They have employed some locals to do manual labor.
Local 1: (in Arabic) I think we are insane for going through with this. You've heard the legend, haven't you?
Local 2: (in Arabic) Will you shut up! We need the money.
Egyptologist 1: We've found it, Nathanial. We've finally found it. After years of searching and piecing these damned parchments together, we've actually found the site of En Sabah Nur's sacrophagus. I still cannot believe it.
Egyptologist 2 (Nathaniel): No thanks to the Ministry of Science. You'd think a discovery such as this would be able to fit into their budget. Atleast we'll be the one's to get all the accolades.
Egypt 1: And the Queen's money.
(Both men share a laugh)
Egypt 2: Do you think the myth is true?
Egypt 1: We'll soon see. His story has all the makings of Ancient Egypt mythos. It's highly doubtful. I mean, he couldn't really be the living incarnation of an Apocalypse could he?
(The man look at eachother a while and laugh off the thought).
Egypt 2: Egyptians and their stories. All the ingenuity in the world and only myth to show for it....
(THE SKIES SLOWLY BEGAN TO DARKEN)
Egypt 2: Blasted clouds! The Weather Station in Cairo promised a very clear day.
Egypt 1: Well atleast it will cool a bit.
Egypt 2: Yes, but we need the light.
(Cut to En Sabah Nur's sacrophagus. One of the workers hits it with a shovel. The moon begins to cover the sun; a solar eclipse).
Egypt 1: I'm hardly the Astronomer but we aren't due for a solar eclipse for another month. Something is amiss....I.....
(The foundation begans to shake slowly at first. Concern and panic is shown across the face of the people)
Locals: (In Arabic) Earthquake!! Earthquake!!
Egypt 1: I think they're saying Earthquake
Egypt 2: You think!!!?
(The Sarcophagus opens slowly, smoke emanating from it. The naked body of E.S.N (Apocalypse) is seen inside. He loooks as fresh as the day he died. Apocalypse rises from the Sarcophagus out of the site with an enraged look on his face)
Apoc: WHO HAS AWOKEN ME FROM MY SLUMBER!!!!!! (his voice is thunderous, almost deafening)
The Egyptologists have an aghast look on their face. They are pale with fear, eyes and mouths wide open. Apocalypse is radiating a hellish light that reflects off of their faces).
Egypt 2: My Lord. What have we unleashed?
(Apocalypse grows to three times his size and unleashes an omnidirectional energy blast that destroys everything in the vicinity. He begins to laugh hysterically, his voice thundering through the desert..it can be heard even in the villages)
Apocalypse: ha..haha...haha..HAH...HAHAHAHAH!
(laughter continues into next scene and fades away).
The X-Mansion. It's 4:00 in the morning. A beautiful blonde haired woman is making use of Cerebra. She is looking for signs of professor Xavier all over the world. This woman is Emma Frost.
Emma: Professor..Where are.........ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
She screams from mental pain, her voice echoing through the Mansions corridors. Everyone is still fast asleep, but Beast and Wolverine with their superhuman hearing are awoken and rush to the Cerebra room.
They run into eachother on the corriders
Wolverine: (While still running) Hank, did you hear that?
Beast: I did Logan.
The dart off to the room, both cat-like in nature with amazing agility for their bulk. The two mutants enter the room. Emma Frost lays there in agony.
Wolverine: Emma!!
Beast: What...what happened here?
She takes a few seconds to gather her thoughts.
Emma: I...I was searching for signs of the Professor, but found nothing. But then I found some strange energy signatures located around Egypt. Very powerful energy signatures. On the Psychic Plane, this signature was like a wall of light. Very powerful..Oustanding.
Beast: You think this was the professors?
Emma: I seriously doubt that. The entity, whatever it may be, actually hurt me when I tried to get in contact with it. It's psychic power is enormous.
They are silent. Thinking of what all this could mean.
Beast: We'll assemble the rest of the team in the morning. I'll start putting the finishing touches on the new X-Jet, and we'll be off for Eygpt by midday.
Emma: Whatever happened to the old X-Jet....?
Beast: Well Jean....
(Wolverine cuts him short)
Wolverine: Nothing, Emma. Just an accident.
Emma: I know I'm new but..
Wolverine: Save it Emma. Let's just concentrate on this 'thing' you picked up on Cerebra first, okay?
Beast: Then, I guess I'll finish it up then.
(Emma Looks at Wolverine)
Fade Out
Fade In
"Earth. 3999 AD. A Future Timeline". There is a war going on between mutants and human mechanized infantry. The humans seem to have leverage. There is one mutant thats within our focus now. This mutant is known as Cable.
He shoots a couple of the robot-like creatures down. And continues running through the melee until he gets to an Alley Way. There is still war going on around him. He has a portable computer A.I device in his right hand.
Cable: Computer! Give me an approximate number of operable mechanized units in this vicinity.
Computer: Hello, Nathan Summers. Interfacing..There are approximately 45 operable units. Command?
Cable: Don't worry, I have it from here.
Cables left eye is glowing a brilliant Silver. He leaves the Alley Way and runs into the melee. He sticks his right arm out and concentrates. He uses his power of Cyberpathy to stop the machines dead in their tracks. He causes them to fight eachother. And they do. Casually, he causes them to explode.
Cable: Computer, brief detail of casualties.
Computer: Interfacing. 123 living bodies....432 dead.
Cable: Mutants?
Computer: Yes, Mr. Summers. Mutants
Cable: Dammit!
Cable looks at the mayhem around him, and sits down on one of the destroyed mech robots. The Computer speaks to him.
Computer: Mr. Summers, I have located a temporal distortion in this cycle. It appears that there is a tear in the fabric of time.
Cable: Details.
Computer: Interfacing. It seems as though a being of enormous power is affecting a balance in time and space simply by awakening. The time is Two Thousand and...
Cable: Eight. 2008.
Computer: But how did you..
Cable: Apocalypse. That's all I need to know.
FADE OUT
new scene
X-Mansion. The X-Men (Colossus, Kitty Pride, Rogue, Wolverine, Storm, Emma Frost, Beast, Archangel and Nightcrawler are gather in the hangar, ready to depart on their mission).
Wolverine: So we've all been briefed then. Let's be professional about this....(close up) and in time for Monday Night Football.
Colossus: Amen to that!
Kitty Pride: Shouldn't you be watching hockey or something?
Wolverine:............(jokingly) Rogue, touch her.
Rogue: With pleasure.
Kitty Pride: Still mad I got your man then?
Rogue takes off her glove.
Rogue: Now, I'm really gonna touch you.....
Kitty Pride: (Goes intangible) I doubt that. Little miss ho-down, thinks we've forgotten all about her taking the mutant cure. Lucky for you it wore off then. Traitor.
Rogue: Okay, that's it. (approaches Kitty)
Iceman cuts them off. Setting up an ice barrier between them.
Iceman: COOL it. Both of you.
Nightcrawler: Nice pun, but I was hoping to see a cat fight, yah?
Storm: Why don't you guys save your energy for the mission.
Emma: Children..
Beast: I think one of us should wait here, to look after the mansion. It would prove economical.
They all look at each other......
Beast: Anyone? Well I have to stay on board because I designed the X-Jet, and if it has any faults, I'm the only one that can fix it.
Wolverine: Hey, don't look at me bub. I haven't had any action in months.
Emma: (Smiles at him) You're telling me........
Wolverine: Not that kind of...
(Wolverine is cut short by a mutant that walks through the door. They are all silent. Almost in shock at who walks through the door. The female mutants have lustful looks upon their face. This mutant is GAMBIT)
Rogue: Gambit!!!
Wolverine: Well, I don't believe it.
Gambit: Happy to see you too, mon ami. I heard you were looking for a babysitter. I don't mind hanging around while you kids are off saving the world. Besides I'm about to make a nice Cajun meal.
Beast: Well then it's settled. Take care of the Mansion, Remy. It's nice to have you back. And try not to needlessly explode anything while you do it.
Gambit puts two fingers two his head, as if to salute them.
Gambit: Adieu!!
Kitty (looks at the other females): Hot!
Cut to the X-Men about to take off. It takes off. Cut to the X-Jet in mid-flight.
Storm: So how are you liking your first few months as an X-Man, Emma?
Emma: I prefer X-WOMAN, Storm. And I love it.
Kitty: This team is kind of chauvinist isn't it.
Rogue: For once we agree on something.
Wolverine rolls his eyes.
Wolverine: Oh, not this again...Like..
Emma: (Cuts him off) --Like I was saying,...I'm enjoying it very much. And you guys were like, totally in need of a psychic, since you know---Jean and the Professor.
Colossus: A change from the Hellfire Club, I'm sure.
Emma: I--I try to keep that part of my past behind me.
Colossus: I didn't mean.....
Emma: I know what you meant. Don't worry.
Kitty: Yeah, she's a good guy..I mean girl, now.
they share a laugh.
Storm: Warren, you've been awfully quiet back there.
Archangel (Warren): I don't know Storm. I'm having a bad feeling about this. I have this feeling... in my stomach..that something's not right.
Wolverine: Joy...we have two psychics again.
Storm: Not funny, Logan. (pauses) Emma, we're near the location of the psychic imprint. Sense anything?
Emma: Yes, I sense a faint impression. It's the same signature as the one before, but it's slightly diminished. It appears to be weakened maybe. Okay, it's getting stronger. You can set the jet down, Hank.
Hank: I've always been known to be a jet...
Emma: A jet setter? Why did I have to pick up that thought from you? It made me cringe. Please stick to building things. Not comedy.
Hank: heh, noted.
They set the X-Jet down in in the desert. They step out.
Wolverine: Jesus Christ. It's hotter than a monkey's ass out here.
Storm: Very subtle, Logan.
Wolverine: (sarcastically) I'm the best at what I do.
Beast: At least you don't have a layer of thick blue fur over your hide. I feel like I'm in a furnace.
Kitty: Storm, can't you like....change the weather? I mean that's the whole point of being Storm right?
Nightcrawler: Yah!
Storm: Done.
Storms eyes light up as she cools the temperature down via her powers.
CUT TO APOCALYPSE- who senses the use of her powers.
Apocalypse: What's this, the use of a mutant power? Hmm..
CUT BACK TO X-Men.
Beast: Thanks, I needed that.
Storm: Emma.....
Emma: On it Storm.
We see the psychic plane now that Emma is on. The being Apocalypse is seen as a very dark, red impression on it, shining brighter than the others. Apocalypse notices her on the psychic plane.
Apocalypse (on the plane): Ah, yes. You were the one that noticed me before.
Emma: Yes, and you had some pretty good defence up for me. I mean you no harm.
Apocalypse: But I do to you!
He sends a surge that hits her on the psychic plane. She feels the hit in real life, and is knocked back.
Emma: ARRRGH!!
Wolverine: He's in there....Let's go.
They all run into a market, searching for Apocalypse.
Wolverine: Look for anyone that looks strange or suspicious, or just like a mutant. Warren, take to the skies, Hank try and revive Emma.
They disperse. Focus on Wolverine. We are focused on his senses now. He tunes the outside noise out and focuses on the sounds. He then sniffs the air once. He sniffs it again. He walks into Apocalypse. He looks like one of the locals now. He stares directly at Wolverine...smirking in a sinister manner. Wolverine notices this.
Wolverine: Hey.................HEY!......Hey, Bub, I'm talking to you. Wait a second, you don't smell human. Listen pal, I don't know who, or what you are, but I aint waitin' to find out.
SKINT! Wolverine unleashes his claws and charges straight for Apocalypse who returns to his true form
Apocalypse: heh, Fool!
(he dodges Wolverine's lunge and punches him about 30 feet away).
He falls into the path of Storm.
Storm: Logan!!
Wolverine (noticeably hurt): He's over there, Storm
Storm: Yeah, I see him.
Wolverine: Careful. This guy hits harder than the Juggernaut.
Storm: Gotcha!
Storm gathers a storm cloud in the sky and sends bolts of lightning down at Apocalypse. He laughs at her futile attempt. He absorbs the lightning and directs it back at her. She lands right beside Wolverine.
Storm: I don't know what the Juggernaut hits like. but if this is any indication....
Colossus storms in and goes into metallic form, Iceman and Nightcrawler behind him.
Colossus charges at him.
Colossus: GRRRRRRRRRRAHHHHHHHH........
They start to trade blows. Meanwhile the rest of the X-Men have gathered.
Rogue: Hey, let's go help Peter!
Emma (revived): Dearie, if you want to go in between those two behemoths, be my guest. As far as I can tell, this guy is impervious to harm- mental or physical.
Kitty: How 'bout I go crush tall, dark and uglie's heart.
Rogue: Wouldn't be the first time...
Emma: This isn't a good time for this, Marie.
The two young girls trade looks. Kitty runs toward Apocalypse remaining intangible, and tries to grab his heart. He grows in size to thwart her attempt.
Kitty: Dammit!
She runs back to her colleagues. Apocalypse then steps on Colossus. They gasp.
Beast: Oh, Heavens no.
The X-Men simultaneously attack Apocalypse. Iceman trying to freeze him, Storm using her elements to subdue him, Rogue trying to absorb his powers etc all to no avail. He sends a blast that knocks all of them down. That is- all apart from Warren Worthington, who is flying now, with a spear-like weapon in his hand.
Angel: No. This madness. This chaos. It stops NOW!!!!!!!!!!
He tries to put the spear through Apocalypses head. He misses
Apocalypse: An admirable attempt winged-one, but presumptuous. I know your moves before you even think them.
He slaps Warren to the ground. He gets back up and attempts the same thing. (the others start to revive). He slaps him back down. Warren gets up again. He is hurt.
Angel: I.....will.....not....fall.......(he flies at Apocalypse again).
This time Apocalypse grabs Angel, and crushes him in his palm. He screams in agony.
Apocalypse: You. This winged avenger. You are but a mere gnat to me, yet you insist on destroying me. Such fearless valance will not be overlooked. He takes Warren and flies off with him. The X-Men watch as their team mate disappears in the hands of Apocalypse. They all stand there horrified.
Nightcrawler: (Grabs his rosary): Our father who art in Heaven.
Rogue: Noooooooooooo! (she breaks down in tears). Storm, you can fly after him!
Storm: (tears in her eyes) There's nothing I can do.
Rogue grabs onto Storms clothes and falls to her knees.
Rogue: Please, I'll absorb your powers. Anything, we can't just let him go.
Storm falls to her knees to comfort Rogue.
Storm: (Crying now) There's nothing we can do, hun. There's nothing we can do.
Beast: Dear, Lord.
Emma: Warren……..
Wolverine: Gather everything up. We're going home….
FADE OUT
CUT TO THE X-MANSION. They arrive at the hangar, still onboard the X-Jet. The mutants Gambit and Jubilee are waiting there.
Gambit: Ah, the Cavalry has arrived.
Jubilee: Finally. It was getting boring without them.
Gambit: Hey! You had me for entertainment, petit.
Jubilee: Gambit, stories about your life in a SWAMP is hardly entertainment.
Gambit: To each is own….
Jubilee: Here they come.
The X-Men step off the X-Jet, clearly distressed and distraught.
Gambit: What, did yall have a bad flight?
Wolverine: Now---is not the time Cajun.
Gambit: Quoi? Did I miss something.
(the rest step off the Jet)
Jubilee: Oh my God..
Gambit: What petit?
Jubilee: Wasn't Angel wit them?
Gambit: Mon Dieu!! You are right. Logan, what happened to Warren?
Iceman interjects. Meanwhile, some of the X-Men have gone inside the Mansion.
Iceman: He was captured Gambit. He was captured.
Gambit: Captured by whom?
Emma: We don't know. And it doesn't matter. What matters is how we get him back.
Gambit: Pardonnez-Moi. I'm afraid we haven't met.
Emma: You could choose a better time to flirt with me "Gambit". I'm still taking in all of this. It's surreal for me.
Gambit: But I wasn't…
Emma: I know, but you were thinking it.
Gambit has a flushed look on his face.
Gambit: I see.
They all walk through the Mansion to arrive at the briefing room. While they walk through the corridors, some of the students are watching them. Emma talks to the rest of the X-Men via telepathy.
Emma: (psychically) Try and put on a brave face for the students. We don't want them knowing to much of what going on.
Rumblings are sent through the school. There are whispers of the events that took place spreading.
Briefing Room. The X-Men (Wolverine, Storm, Emma, Beast, Colossus, Storm and Gambit are here)
Beast: Next plan of action.
Wolverine: Well I think that's obvious. We find him.
Storm: But, how?
Wolverine: Emma can use the psychic plane again.
Emma: Erm, I'm afraid it won't be that easy this time Logan. During the battle, I tried probing his mind to no avail. He has some sort of psychic blocks in place now. I think he'll be expecting me to find him psychically.
Gambit: What if he's dead?
Storm: Gambit!
Colossus: He could be right you know? You saw how that thing crushed the life out of Warren.
Beast: That is probable, but it begs the question: Why did the creature leave with Warren's body?
Wolverine: Who the hell knows. That thing, whatever it is, is evil. I could smell it in him. For all we know it could be doing sadistic things to Warren's body. And I'd be damned if I just sit here and let that happen to a team mate.
Beast: Actually, Hank is right. I sensed faint neural activity in Warren, still. He is probably alive.
Gambit: And you were waiting to tell us this when?
Storm: (again) Gambit!
Gambit: No, Cherie. Who is she anyway? How come she knew how to find this creature? How come this happened when she came? I don't gotta be Wolverine to know that something don't smell right.
Storm: She was traumatized like the rest of us. Cut her some slack, Remy.
Gambit: I don't care what you say, she--
Emma: "She" can speak for herself. I'm just as depressed about this as everyone else. I know I haven't been an X-Man for long, but my intentions are genuine. I told Peter that I put my life in the Hellfire Club behind me. We can't work as a team if there's not trust.
Colossus: I believe her 100%. She has proven her worth as far as I'm concerned.
Gambit: You sure he ain't just toying with your mind. I see she's pretty good at that.
Wolverine: Enough of this childish bickering. Sheesh, that's why I told Bobby, Rogue, Kitty and Jubilee to stay outside.
(Cut to the outside of the door)
Kitty's ear is pressed against the door.
Jubilee: What the hell are they saying?
Kitty: Something about how having firecrackers as powers isn't really helpful to the team….
Jubilee: (looks at her scornfully): Funny..
Iceman and Rogue exchange looks. The silence says it all.
CUT BACK INTO ROOM.
Wolverine: So it's settled then? We go back to Egypt to find Angel?
Beast: Agreed
Storm: Agreed
Gambit: You know it
The rest: Agreed.
Wolverine: Then that's it. We leave in 0800 hrs.
Storm: I'm impressed Logan. You're handling this team quite nicely. Guess your stint in Department H is paying off quite nicely.
Wolverine: I guess so.
FADE OUT
again its good but there is no background. in the ones i have written (By the way reading back through my old one i aint so keen on it) i've backed stuff up why i have introduced people. but gambit and emma have come from nowhere and angel is already archangel? it needs explination.
[EDIT] however i do like some of the comical lines in there!!! 😄
1. Angel isn't Archangel yet
2. Emma's background has been touched briefly.
3. Gambit's will also be talked about as the story goes.
Remember in X3? Hank's background was barely touched on, but he was integral to the plot, so even a non X-Men fan can catch on. Mine is the same way. You'll understand it in due time.
Thanks for reading, again!

if he isn't archangle yet then why is he named so?!
and ok but meh.
the only thing that i know i would really like to see is rouge coming out of the shell that the movies put her in and what happended to iceman and rouge why how did they break up and kitty and him get together i would love a mention,,and gambit is he going to get together with rouge like they did in the comics....i love your scripts and can't wait to see how you put it all together and what you do.
My first script was way better, because it was more professional.
EXT. LOUISIANA SWAMP. NIGHT
It's dark and calm outside on a cool Louisiana evening, but the tranqulity is suddenly broken by numerous footsteps. The mutant Gambit is being chased by several men in uniform through a wooded area.
Guard 1: After him. After that stinking mutie!
Guard 2: Don't let him get away. The boss will be thrilled if we get this piece of shit back.
Guard 1: He said we should be careful with this one.
Guard 2: The day I'm scared of a mutie is the d----
The Guard never had a chance to finish his sentence. He exploded into tiny fragments due to a discreetly placed rock that was laid by the mutant on the floor, which was charged with potential energy-having explosive results
Guard 3: Jesus Christ what was that?
They can see Gambit heading towards a fence. He scales it with gazelle like agility.
The guards come to the fence--seemingly insurmountable.
Guard 4: I didn't sign up for this shit.
Guard 1: Well you didn't have to
Guard 1 shoots the fence apart with no hesitation. Gambit stops, and is now standing 20 metres from the broken fence.
Gambit: (tauntingly) Bon soir mes amis! A beautiful evening to die, no?
Guard 1: Put your damn hands up, or I will shoot you in the face mutant.
Guard 3 (nervously): D-d-do what he tells ya.
Gambit: Mon Dieu! I have to tell you that you have the wrong man. I am not a mutant.
Guard 3: It's a trick!
Guard 1. Of course it's a trick!
Gambit: Non. I am being very serious. In fact you can see my card.
Guard 3 approaches Gambit rather naively, weapon still aimed. Gambit reaches into the inside of his leather trenchcoat, and reaches for his cards- 8 of clubs, Jack of Hearts and 3 of Diamonds.
He charges all three cards and throws it into the face of the Guard. The other 4 Guards open fire. His agility is too much for their human accuracy. He dodges everything, twisting and turning in the air like an acrobat.
A fight ensues. Gambit makes light work of all of them.
Gambit: (Tauntingly) Here's my card.........
I can't write any scripts but i'm going to try. This is my second try. Tell me what you think…edited first part
This is not the whole beginning but maybe the in the first 15-20 minutes
Storm: In a time that the world is in crises one tends to turn to their loved ones, but not everyone has someone to turn to. That is when people turn bitter and angry. This can lead to a powerful revenge that hurts and even kills millions of innocent victims who are in the way. This is a way of human life, it is even a part of human evolution.
we cut to the mansion and rouge is looking for bobby he has been seen and neither has kitty and she is nervous as to why. Rouge walks up the stairs and as she dose she bumps into Pete and he sort of shrinks back unsure as to why.
Rouge: Sorry I didn't mean to
Pete: Its okay i'am just acting from old habit... (Sees that she is distressed) are you okay?
Rouge I just need to talk to bobby. Something terrible has happened and I ...... just need him.
She continues up the stairs and Pete sees her crying. And he tries to tell her something but can’t seem to talk, and knows what she has to say. Rouge finishes the stairs and heads to Bobby's room but she is stopped when she passes kitty’s room and hears her and booby. She opens the door (which was cracked) and sees bobby and kitty on her bed doing what looks like is kissing.
Rouge: Gasps: bobby
both bobby and kitty look up. Bobby jumps/falls off the bed
Bobby: Rouge wait it isn't what it looks like.
But rouge doesn't wait for an explanation; she just runs and cries even harder. Both bobby and kitty chase after her shouting her name. Logan over hears and tries to stop, he unsure of what exactly has happened only aware that rouge is hurt. So does storm and Pete who has been informing her of what he thinks rouge is going through. While rouge is still running but is half way down the steps, bobby trying to stop her makes an ice slide and cuts in front of her. And bobby holds her by the arms.
Bobby: rouge nothing happened I swear it--
Rouge: don’t... don't TOUCH ME!!!
Bobby: no listen
Rouge: NO!!
She sends bobby flying because she tries to push him away he flies into the wall, but their is no damage, and they all gasp and she runs to the door.
Logan: rouge wait what happened? Rouge?
Rouge: I can't don't, just let me think
she runs out and into the forest area, she and everybody knows that her powers are back and she seems to have more power then before.
************************
Cut to rouge in the woods behind the mansion and she remembers that bobby was crying to stop her and as she starts to go to the mansion she sees bobby and he is only ten feet away.
Bobby: rouge we were just looking …talking
Rouge hunches over and whispers his name. Some figure appears and has stabbed her in the stomach as she was walking to him. Logan appears.
Both Logan and Bobby yell her name, and rush to her. But the figure and rouge disappear. And Logan and bobby are alone trying to figure out what has happened.
Standing in rouges blood
rush/blurred vision of Logan, Bobby, Storm, Kitty, and Peter in a room try to figure out what has happened and hank comes running in with some ideas.
Storm: what is it hank do you have any ideas?
Hank: we had some type of threat a when the cure came out---
Logan; what kind of threat, fur ball?
Hank: well when the cure first came out we had so many threats that it started to get hard to tell each of them apart.
Bobby: what does this have to do with rouge, the cure doesn't work?
Hank: well, it appears that one threat was that who ever took the cure was threatened to go and be the rats for them. They promised that who ever took the cure would meet their...... end by one of two things either tortured so they could find the cure for the cure, or they would die for their cause. And now I think that it’s true. It seems that 39 of the mutants who took the cure are dead and another 21 are missing........well 22 including rouge.
Logan: and you knew this for how long and you NEVER WARNED HER!!!! You didn't even give her a CHANCE.
Hank: we didn't seem to think about as real.
Bobby: what about when you found out about the others huh why not then! 60 seems like a big number to me.
Hank: some people heard that some mutants who took the cure died while or after the fact. and we didn't consider it.
Kitty: and now
hank: and now we wait to see if we can get anything from her. if only ... we could use cerebro.
AT some hospital miaro and Charles are in a bed. Charles has been dreaming about all of this and he wakes up.
Miaro: what is it... what’s wrong?
Charles: I need to get home right now or she'll die or worse.
Mario" who
Charles: Rouge
rouge wakes up in a nightmare like prison and is strapped down on a bed she shakes to get free and hears someone laughing.
Pyro: so nice to bump into you rouge.
Rouge: you? what is going on here?
Pyro: just a simple experiment that’s all
Rouge: let me go?
Pyro: umm no
Rouge: but why me why this?
Pyro: well when we first started all of this we tried to find a way to gain back powers, now we just want to see how much stronger one can get from this. and I just thought of you.
Rouge: that’s so nice, NOW LET ME GO. (ground shakes)
Pyro zaps her with a fire ball and it causes her to black out and pyro orders some guards to take her away because she is useless now.
Back to the mansion storm receives a call from Mario. All the other x men are also in the room
Strom: how are you doing
Mario: well I was fine up until I had to make this call
Storm: what’s wrong?
Mario: I can't go into explaining things right now but you are going to have to trust me okay just trust me.
Storm: okay I... i mean we will all trust you
Mario: he’s alive Charles is alive i can't go into the whole story but right before the phoenix destroyed him, he ducked into the body of a brain dead patient of mine and has been here since.. Look I am sorry for not telling you sooner but he needed time to think and heal his wounds. And now he wants to come back he wants to come home to all of you.
Storm: But how….this isn’t possible people just don’t get destroyed into a million pieces and then live through that.
Logan: look lady I don’t know what your game is but this…..
Mario: it isn’t a game logan
Kitty: but if he was alive he would have come back...he wouldn’t slink away just when we really needed him.
Mario: he didn’t slink away kitty he just…well he didn’t have the strength. And it isn’t really easy trying to explain how he got in here without stepping on some toes.
Bobby: but he could have told us.
Charles: storm… storm I m sorry that ….i didn’t come back sooner
Storm: I just …..
Logan: why now…you don’t sound very good right now anyway
Charles: You know why its rouge she’s in danger she is either going to.... look i just need to get home. And your help
Logan: what do you need Professor.
Charles: I need the jet and my chair. I am not strong enough to walk yet…yes I can walk but not now.
everybody was still and shocked including storm
Logan: okay lets get it, bobby , Pete get the chair, kitty tell the kids that we have a visitor, and Mario help the professor get ready to leave, well find away to get by security okay?
Mario: okay
Charles: thanks
Logan: any time
they hang up and Logan walks toward storm and holds her as she breaks down in his arms crying and he strokes her hair while kitty cries in Pete’s arms and bobby sits down with hank and both clasp their hands over their eyes.
Bobby: how could this happen. I bet that if the professor had been here rouge would still be here. I just feel so helpless.
Storm walks over to bobby and puts her hand on his shoulder.
Strom: look it will be okay. When the professor gets back he can help us to find her.
Bobby: but what if it’s too late huh… and she ……you know…..
Logan has walked over
Storm: …but if you feel helpless imagine how she feels…if only we had stopped her in the mansion.
Logan: look she’s tough and she’ll get through it
Bobby: if only she hadn’t seen us.
Logan: yeah what was that bobby; huh I thought that you loved her?
Kitty: look nothing happened, between us we were just talking and I was telling him something …well private, and that was when rouge walked in nothing happened.
Bobby: if only rouge had stayed around long enough to hear this and hadn’t run out.
Logan: bobby that is how she’s had to survive I mean her life hasn’t been perfect you know.
Bobby: I understand Logan.
Logan: no bobby you don’t, look when we first met, me and rouge, we talked a lot and still do, well when she was younger she had a troubling childhood her mother tried to make her someone she wasn’t and when she got her powers it was like she…you know disappointed her mother and her mother turned on her along with her father and just about the whole her whole town….lets just say that …. If she hadn’t ran she would be …well a goner.
Bobby: looked my family turned on me too.
Logan: your brother did not you family you didn’t have people try to kill you, hell you didn’t have your parents declare you dead when you were in the next room.
Bobby: Yeah….. I love her. (looking at Kitty)
Kitty looks like she was slapped and then confussed but no one really notices. But Pete who is watching looks a little hurt but not too much.
Logan: one question . What if the professor can’t find her... and can’t use cerebro?
Storm goes to Logan and puts her arm around him
Storm: we won’t know anything until we get the professor home so let’s think about that now and worry about rouge when we get to her, but first let’s be concerned about the professor, at least we’ll know something then.
Logan: you’re right let’s go…Storm can you get the jet ready in 5 minutes,
Storm: yes I can, and bobby and Pete get his chair ready, and kitty only inform the student that we have a visitor and only a visitor, we can’t have chaos in the mansion. Okay. And Logan helps me get the jet ready.
All agree and leave the room.
Back to the professor and Mario are getting ready.
Charles: so how are we going to get past the guards?
Mario: Charles this is a hospital not the white house, which I understand you had no problem getting past those guards.
Charles: look I can’t just free time I need to save my energy so I can find out where rouge is and save her, before…well before it’s too late.
Mario: look Charles it isn’t hard I just said that I am taking you for a field trip and that’s all … after I might have to find a new job but hey I hate this one.
Charles: thank you and you know that you always have a job back at the school with me and the kids.
Mario: I know this and I might just take you up on it.
Charles: good well that’s get ready they should be here soon.
Logan and storm walk in storm is in tears and Logan holds her with one arm and they walk to the professor in his new body. Logan has his wheelchair
Logan: sooner then what you think professor
Charles: storm , Logan I am so glad to see you, were the others?
Storm : in the jet, professor. Are you ready?
Charles senses that both are a little hesitant
Charles: I know I don’t look like myself but it’s really me
Logan: well we have got to go the jet isn’t going to go unnoticed for long.
Charles: I guess your right ….I am ready
Mario: yeah let’s go.
And Logan puts Charles in the chair and they all leave. The professor hugs storm first and then Logan and her walk side by side with Mario at in back.
*****
In the prison rouge is shaking in a cell like place with three people watching her and one finally comes to wake her up and talk. Rouge is still bleeding from stomach and the person who touches her shrinks back.
Gambit: pretty wake up, its time to wake up we don’t have long before the guards come back.
Rouge wakes up quickly and leans against the wall, scared.’
Gambit: its okay we won’t hurt you okay.
Rouge: where are we, and who are you?
Gambit: I am gambit, this here is marrow, Emma frost , and night crawler
Rouge and Kurt say an awkward hello
Rouge: how did you get here Kurt I thought you were in Boston?
Kurt: I was until well they took me and well I‘ve been here for a month
Rouge: a month how come storm didn’t know or even me. I thought that you were very quite. I’m sorry I should’ve checked when you weren’t talking to us.
Gambit: wait gambit thinks that you two know each other.
Kurt: well kind of she and I are old friends.
Gambit: interesting
Rouge: so what is going on here ….is pyro in charge now or what?
Kurt: I don’t know much gambit here seems to know more then I do
Gambit: look I’ve been here for 5 months and I don’t know too much, but what I do know could help us all get out of here. First when this “program” was first started it was to find a way to end the cure, and your buddy pyro was in charge of our holding.
Rouge: probably to help magneto or mystique.
Gambit: who is she talking about
Kurt: it is a very long story. But no rouge I haven’t seen or heard of them, but I have heard a lot about some master. That pyro is working for. But I don’t know everything I can’t just teleport around like I used to be able to.
Rouge: are you powers gone too did you take the cure?
Gambit: all of us have or all of us thought of doing it until the last minute and they thought that we did…but anyway everybody has their powers ,but with their powers of controlling us … we have to work with our powers all over again. And gain control….but we don’t want them to know about it.
Rouge: why not I would think that if you did that you could get out of here.
Kurt: no they would use it against us.
Rouge: how could they us it against us, I mean Pyro is about mutants ruling he wouldn’t go and kill all of us especially if …..well if we… you know are stronger.
Gambit: we might be stronger but they aren’t afraid of us and because they think that we took the cure ….they all think that we are sub mutants and kill us. Besides things are a lot worst off then they seem to be.
Rouge: and how is that exactly?
Gambit: well Gambit can’t talk for everybody but he does know a thing or two pretty…and let me tell you if you think how they got you here was bad it is only going to get worse before it gets better.
Rouge looks down and she is still bleeding in her side.
Kurt: do you need help with your wound? (Handing her some rags to warp her wound, she takes it and applies it)
Rouge: I…think that I …can make it, don’t worry. About me.
Gambit: so look before the guards come back… make sure that if you get your powers back.
Rouge: I already have
Kurt: are you okay?
Gambit: sure she is okay its only who she is.
Rouge: (starting to cry) yeah who I am I can’t do anything that I want.
Gambit: at least you ain’t dead
Rouge: sometimes i think that it would almost be better if I was.
Kurt: how can you say that the good lord put you on this planet for a reason, and if he gave you your power, your gift,
Rouge: more like curse
Gambit: look we can’t sort this out now whether or not you’re cursed pretty but look I need to tell you this you have to hide your powers at least for the time being, and stop crying they’ll take it as a weakness, and we need you to win.
Rouge: look I…I can’t control my powers not now not ever. And I definitely can’t hide it …you see…when…when I touch somebody with my bare skin I hurt them ….well really I take their power or life force and I can’t control it…I am sorry I am no use to you …I am weak less.
Pyro walks in and he is with two mutants one juggernaut and the other is Strong guy.
Pyro: (laughing) that’s right rouge its all over you are weakless and you don’t have Bobby or Logan here to protect you any more. Go and get her we have some work to do before he comes and we’re going to start with her. ( they do, but they don’t touch skin)
Rouge: no …let me go let me go NOW!!
Rouge feels that she could do some damage but knows that she can’t when she looks at gambit and Kurt. Pyro walks out
Pyro: NOW
Juggernaut and strong guy drag Rouge and leave the others alone.
Back at the Mansion in the hospital unit of the underground layer. The professor is getting checked out and bobby and Logan are alone with him while storm calls Hank.
Bobby: so how are you professor?
Charles: I am okay still weak but …. I needed to come back.
Logan: but why…why did we have to think that you were dead? Couldn’t you have told us that you were okay?
Charles: I didn’t the strength back then.
Bobby: and you do now?
Charles: I think that I can I’m starting to get it all together.
Bobby: I know that now mightn’t be the right time but, do you know where she is or if she’s okay or anything I m worried, and I need to know.
Charles: Rouge is alive but she’s not okay.
Logan: what do you mean.
Charles: have you ever heard of sinister
Logan: no…why
Charles: well I think that he has something to do with it and if I really am getting a clear picture if we don’t get rouge back soon we could be up for a strong fight
Logan: how
Charles: I m not sure ,but something tells me that when we find rouge she’ll be changed.
Bobby: wait so you mean Rouge in danger?
Charles: yes I think so.
Bobby: what kind a danger?
Charles: Bobby she could die...or worse
Bobby: what do you mean worse?
Charles: well when some of the mutants who took the cure got their powers back—
Logan: but how could that happen I thought that it was supposed to last.
Charles: well it was but now they no it doesn’t and it turns out that when you get it back you are two times stronger, and more capable. But I don’t know how it is going to affect rouge. And Sinistir isn’t going to let her power go without making sure that she can’t do anything.
Bobby: what do you mean?
Charles: rouge hates her powers always has, and if her powers are even stronger …well rouge was powerful before almost too powerful for her own good, and as long as she had that power she was always going to be a target for other mutants who have plans for what she could do with those powers. ….and if she really is stronger then the plans they are making could be even more horrible then magneto’s when we first met Rouge
Logan and bobby realize what this means and bobby just about collapses.
Logan: what is it bobby?
Bobby: that’s what she was going to tell me when she …well when she got captured.
Charles: bobby she needs you .
Bobby: and I’ve helped her a lot. and she knows that now.
Charles: bobby don’t give up she loves you and that can help her really it can, like it did with you and jean Logan.
Logan: but I couldn’t help her
Charles: you helped her more then you will ever know Logan. Now listen sinister has been more harmful then good , and all I know is that pyro is helping him in some holdings, and is in charge of only a couple that he seems to be working for someone else and who is in direct contact with sinister.
Logan: well were there’s and maniac there a helmet head.
Charles: no ..No Logan magneto isn’t involved somehow pyro over threw him and he isn’t in the picture any more.
Bobby: how?
Charles: I don’t know, maybe it happened because he lost his powers, and pyro didn’t I don’t know, all I do know is at this very moment he is torturing rouge and she isn’t strong enough to handle all of it at least she doesn’t think she is..
Bobby: but she is right … she can’t die…not now.
Charles looks at bobby and then at Logan and the scene ends
We are now at the outside of the mansion Logan is standing on the porch like balcony and storm walks in.
Storm: how are you keeping up Logan?
Logan: I told her that I would take care of her storm and now she… she could be dying…..I guess I didn’t do to good of a job for her did I?
Storm puts her arm around him and he lets her.
Storm: this isn’t your fault, you know , you did everything that you could.
Logan: it’s not all I’m going to do. When we find out where she is and who took her other then pyro you’re going to have to stop me from killing him.
Storm: you’ll have to do the same thing for me
Logan: really
Storm: yeah, I love rouge…she’s something special.
Logan: yeah I know that kid has something in her.
They both lean closer together and it looks like they’ll going to kiss when kitty walks in.
Kitty: ahem ….umm the professor wants us with him when he tries cerebro.
Storm: already.. Is it safe for him to
Logan: if he says that it is storm it is
Storm: you’re right let’s go.
Scene goes back to rouge she is being tortured by Pyro’s lackeys ,such as being punched kicked thrown against the wall, nearly drowned,. She looks bad and she collapses, when pyro steps in.
Pyro: that enough for now take her back to her cell and lock her up then get back here, the master will be checking in.
Cuts to the cell and rouge is shoved into the cell and the gate closes.
Kurt: are you okay?
Rouge: I …I think so. But where are the others?
Gambit: well gambit thinks that they were taken to the torture chambers like you pretty.
Rouge: Hah I don’t think that I look all that good right now.
Kurt: now theirs that sense of humor I know.
Rouge: look I didn’t use my powers back and I think that those lackeys are too strong that they didn’t notice my powers.
Gambit; what does that mean?
Rouge: it means that I have theirs but they don’t know it…..so if you do have a plan I suggest that we work fast….so how many mutants are in here?
Gambit: i only counted about 15 others.
Rouge: and on their side?
Gambit: about 30.
Rouge: then let’s get started on a plan huh.
Gambit: are you sure?
Rouge: worse then I am now?
Kurt: maybe.
Rouge: well do we have anybody that can …fight now…and what are their powers?
Gambit: all 15 do, why you got a plan?
Rouge: yeah I have a plan. I am not an x men for nothing.
End scene, with them all talking in a group.
Back to the mansion with all of the x men outside of cerebro storm ,hank, and Logan in one corner, Pete, kitty and Bobby, are in a little group of their own.
Kitty: are you okay bobby?
Bobby: oh sure I am great Rouge, is in some prison camp with a lunatic who wants to kill her. I am just great….you know I would always ask rouge that and now look where it has got me, since I stopped.
Kitty: it’s not your fault we did nothing wrong.
Pete: yeah , rouge well she’s just sensitive.
Bobby: what does that mean?
Pete: she’s scared that she’s going to lose you.
Bobby: (whispers) I think she has. And now shes gone.
Logan: hey kid you okay?
Bobby: when we find Rouge I will.
Just then the doors to cerebro open and a tried professor wheels out.
Storm: are you okay.
Charles: yeah I think so.
Bobby: did you find rouge?
Charles: no….she’s blocking everything out…I was right she’s stronger. But I think that she could be okay…
Logan: but how can she block you out?
Charles: I can tell a round about area where she is. But it isn’t because of her its sinister….i think that she is trying to make sure that he doesn’t find out what she’s doing.
Bobby: why not ?
Charles: because she’s fighting it … and she’ll win in the big event.
Storm: what big event ?
Charles: she and some of the other prisoners are going to fight back. And I think that they’ll win…that is if we help them.
Bobby: of course we’ll help them. But how will we know when it happens.
Charles: well I don’t know exactly but I’m sure that Kurt , Sarah, and Remy can help her.
Logan: whose Sarah and Remy?
Hank: Sarah or marrow is an old class mate of mine and Storm.
Storm: I remember her. But who is This Remy
Charles: Remy is a very powerful but very angry. Almost like Pyro but more hurt
Storm: well that’s a relief.
Logan: watch it your sounding more like me every day.
Charles: He’s right you know? I think that rouge is beginning to realize that her powers could save her, not really destroy her.
Bobby: is that what she’s been afraid of?
Charles: look I think that we really need wait for Rouge to contact us , because I know that is what’s going to happen.
Storm: how?
Charles: I can hear what rouge some of what is thinking and I know rouge. She tell us how to help.
Logan: so now’s the time that she chooses to go all independent.
Charles: it’s about time (thinks: I just hope she doesn’t stay out of our lives for too long or we could lose her).
Cut to rouge in cell she is sleeping Kurt is cleaning her wounds. Gambit is talking to marrow.
Marrow: but why not huh why can’t we turn her in? She’s the one that we’ve been looking for .
Gambit: because she has more potential then they realized
Marrow: but that’s a good thing she should have something more after all she did take the cure and you know what they said about them who did.
Gambit: I know…but here’s the thing I think that Pyro could be going over broad with this, don’t you?
Marrow: no he’s our leader.
Gambit: he’s not mystique is. Well more above Pyro at least.
Marrow: look Pyro is our leader not her. We were assigned to him not her get it straight okay, or you can join them in their fate. So you had better start abiding by his rules. Now do you know if they’re planning anything?
Gambit: No I don’t …I don’t even think that they are planning anything at all.
Marrow: really
Gambit: at least not at this moment.
Kurt : hey I think I could use some help over here...she’s going into shock
Rouge starts shaking on the floor and gambit rushes over to help marrow stays back.
Gambit: come on pretty you can do this. You’ve come so far already.
Kurt: Gambit hold her still and be careful that you don’t touch her, Marrow hand me a blanket, it might help her.
Marrow: how?
Kurt: it looks like she went into a hypodermic shock, combined with the lose of blood she has suffered.
Gambit: (looking concerned) how much has she lost?
Kurt: not a lot she’ll be fine but it still has taken a toll on her.
Gambit this whole time has been holding her down and marrow gave Kurt his blanket for Rouge. After another one or two minutes she stops shaking.
Kurt: she should be fine now.
Gambit: good
Gambit looks at marrow and she looks disgusted. Marrow takes gambit aside.
Marrow: why were you helping so much?
Gambit: well none of the bosses would be to happy with her dead would they?
Marrow: no
Rouge: (weak) what are you two whispering about?
Gambit: nothing pretty….(walks over and kneels by Rouge) you okay?
Rouge: I’m now at least I think so. ( and she goes back to sleep)
Back at the mansion hank has called all of the x men he thinks that he has a lead of some kind.
Hank: I just can not believe it is really you.
Charles: and it is good to see you ambassador.
Hank: I don’t think that I’ve been doing a very good job at it, or else this never would have happened.
Logan: why did you call here anyway fur ball?
Hank: well I’ve been looking over the mail that we received about the where rouge could be.
Bobby: where could she be?
Hank: now that’s where it gets a little fuzzy…she could be in one of ten weapon x prisons.
Logan: then we can go to all of them.
Storm: no we can’t Logan…I mean if we go to the wrong about the first one and they’ll send up an alarm. Who knows what could happen.
Bobby: then what can we do now…sitting around here like this …well its driving me crazy.
Kitty goes to comfort him
Pete: so how can we help her.
Hank: do you want to handle this part Charles and I’ll come over and give you what I have?
Charles: yes, that would be just fine.
Logan: so what do we do?
Charles: Look, my friends, she is forming a plan, and when Hank gets here we will go and look over the little information that both I and Hank have collected together. And see what matches up…this way we can have a round about look at where she could be.
Bobby: but I thought that you said that she would tell us where she is when she’s strong enough. Isn’t she?
Charles: yes bobby she is, but right now if I can pin point where she is, and we go save her she will never except here powers. And she could think that she only needs us.
Logan: so then all we can do is wait?
Storm: for now, but not forever.
Kitty: I …I have to go check on the students.
Pete: me too.
Cut to magneto he is coming nearer to the mansion ,he looks troubled. After a little bit of time, he stops in front of the door and goes to knock. When the door opens up and the “new” professor in his old wheelchair opens the door.
Charles: hello old friend. How are you these days.
Magneto: char…Charles…is that you? (he is in shock)
Charles: yes, it’s me.
Magneto: but how.
Charles: for another time my friend…but now what is troubling you?
Magneto: I think you know sinister
Charles: What?
Magneto: can I come inside.
Charles: you have always been welcome here.
Magneto: well then let’s see who all is home.
Logan and storm walk in…Logan draws his claws
Charles: do you really think that it will help? Erik on his own now.
Storm: what do you want.
Magneto: I hear that you are missing something.
Logan: you son of a ------
Storm: Logan ( she holds him back ) let him continue.
Magneto: at least one of you two has some sense.
Charles: Erik why are you here?
Magneto: well you will not believe it…but he’s back Charles…Acropolis
Storm: What…how?
Charles: no…it can’t be.
Magneto: sinister is working with, Mystique who is trying to rise Acropolis from his crypt.
Cut to rouge in the cell she has just got back from another torture session but it wasn’t as bad as the first. Marrow is gone and Kurt and Gambit are looking concerned.
Gambit: you know chere you are holding up very well.
Rouge: Thanks…I guess, (coughing) did you get a list of which mutants are here and what they can do?
Gambit: Gambit has an idea pretty. Besides the four of us in this sell there are four others. In the cell two away are three mutants one of them is a mutant who calls herself Dust, she can control dust in any way shape or form. Sam who is invulnerable , flies thermal energy and is almost immortal but he goes bye cannonball. and paint, and she does tattoos. Some others in two cells down Emma Frost who has a high telepathic ability and make her self into a diamond that makes her indestructible. and Sage, who can jump start powers, and a whole lot more
Rouge: did you say she can jump start powers?
Kurt: yes he did.
Gambit: why?
Rouge: and dust and move dust? Get her
Gambit: ( in a loud whisper) Dust……Dust?
Dust: gambit?
Gambit: Gambit has someone hear who wants to talk to you .
Rouge: dust is there a way that you can help me? And in turn help us all?
Dust: how?
Rouge: can you move the dust to look like me?
Dust: yeah…but how is it getting dusty in here help us all?
Rouge: later on a lot but if you can move the dust to look like me…then kust and teleport it to some friends of mine and EMMA (you see a head in the back turn to look) can make them hear what I say. And we can get the hell out of here, and stop what they’ll planning.
Dust: okay I guess that it’s worth a shot.
Rouge: thanks
Dust starts to move some of the dust around and you can see that it isn’t helping.
Rouge: Sage can you help too I need you to find a way to her powers.
Sage: I can try.
Sage starts trying and you can see a change in dust and dust starts moving up the dust once again and shapes it in rouges image.
Gambit: not a bad plan chere. (looking guilty)
Rouge shh…they need concentration for this. Now Kurt I need you help to teleport this shape. Emma can you focus your powers on me so I can use them to talk to my friends.
Emma: yeah if it is who I think it is then you bet.
Kurt uses his powers to transport the shape of dust and it’s gone… all the mutants stare at her.
Back the mansion everybody is in the underground part of the mansion when they see a shape to appear.
Bobby: Oh my god…( all get ready to fight And they almost do when bobby speaks out )
Logan: kid?
The shape just looks as if unsure of what to do.
Then the professor stares at her.
Shape/Rouge: hi there y’all
Bobby: is it really you?
Shape: yes
Logan: Kid
Shape: look I don’t have too much time I can’t control this for too long...look me and about 15 other mutants are being help captive including Kurt…and we are going to break free…but we need more time. Too group together and form a plan. Plus I need to see who Pyro is working for. (sees the professor, and almost breaks down) Is it really you pro…professor?
Charles: yes…I am … and I am happy to see you taking control and I’ll explain everything when you are back.
Bobby: are you okay?
Rouge: Bobby none of us are okay. But were strong.
Kitty: how bad is it?
Rouge: cuts ,scraps , and a couple other things, (to bobby, who is looking sick and confused) but there are others who are a lot worse then me.
Pete: how much time do you need:
Rouge: I don’t know I just wanted you to know all that this isn’t going to last to long because we all want this to be over.
Storm: You said that Kurt is there.
Rouge: he’s okay…in fact we’re in the same cell.
Logan: how come you don’t all just teleport out?
Rouge: because they’ll just find out where we are it will just start again. Plus I don’t know if he’s strong enough because, he’s having trouble with this shape. And like I said I want to find out who pyro is working for. (notices Magneto) What is he …..
Magneto: it is okay I will not hurt you.
Storm: what do you mean that Pyro isn’t the only one whose in charge are there others?
Magneto: who is he working with?
Rouge: (still in shock over Magneto) I know of two Strong Guy and Juggernaut…but I think that there are 28 others so 30 in total.
Logan: and that’s why you’re going to stay there huh?
Rouge: I want it to end with us, not only be one of a thousand like it…I want it to be over. And I don’t want whatever their planning for to happen
Rouges shape starts to bend over as if in pain and the shape holds her head.
Bobby: Rouge!
Logan: Kid…what’s wrong!
The shape walks towards bobby, and kisses him on the cheek.
Rouge: I miss you bobby, and I don’t blame you (whispers) its okay I understand your decision
Bobby: we didn’t (shape outs her finger on Bobby’s mouth)
Rouge: I know…I just want you to know that i have a plan, to get out… all of us…just wait till I can make sure it will work…..Professor I’ll keep my thoughts as open as I can so when its time you guys will know. Good bye everybody.
Bobby: don’t go. please.
Rouge: I have to …good bye ( she hugs logan who during the middle of this walks over and then bobby …turns away and disappears.)
Logan: she’s some tough cookie…huh…I always knew that she was.
Kitty walks over to bobby, and puts her arm around him, and storm does the same with Logan.
Kitty: she will be okay.
Charles: I can track her now…she’s leaving a stronger beam.
Storm: do think it will be long before they move?
Pete: the way that it all sounds I don’t think that it will be too long
Logan: you better watch it kid your starting to sound like the old bean over here.
Charles: glad to see you’re getting use to me Logan
Cut to Rouge back at the prison. The Kurt and gambit make it look like she has been sleeping and now they see the dust appear, but not in her shape, just as dust, and she wakes up, with a gasp.
Kurt: how did it go?
Rouge: Good they’ll help us all they can.
Emma: so it is true you are a x-men?
Rouge: how do you know about them?
Emma: I used to go there.
Rouge: really?
Paint: hey rouge…is it?
Rouge: yeah
Paint: that was pretty cool how you handled that.
Rouge: I don’t really know I just did it…
Paint: nice
Rouge: you have some nice tattoos
Paint: you want one.
Rouge: what?
Gambit: we all have one….its our mark
Kurt: well I don’t, they couldn’t find a place to put it.
Rouge: are you serious?
Paint: yeah….now hold still it will only hurt a little….
Rouge: it will hurt you more then me… how do you know what to do?
Paint: I just do
Paint almost touches Rouges back and she begins to tattoo her… a shape of an x appears.
Rouge: thanks
Gambit: what does it stand for?
Rouge: who I am
Gambit: and whose that chere?
Rouge: I am an x man. And I got it.
Kurt: and what exactly do you have rouge?
Rouge: well …how to get out of here.
Gambit: what do you mean?
Rouge: I think that I have a plan…I think that if we work hard enough that we can get out of here.
Gambit: but you know that we shouldn’t rush things.
Rouge: look I want out of here as soon as possible. I need to.
Gambit: you don’t like it here chere?
Rouge: oh no its lovely, of course I don’t like it here….and I want to go back home…I miss my family.
Kurt: I thought that you didn’t talk to your family.
Rouge: My biological family I don’t but my new family I do.
A guard comes ( strong guy ) and takes Gambit and Marrow. They look to be putting up a fight …and then get through the door and they let them go.

Strong guy: nice fight.
Gambit: gambit thought that we should make it look a little bite more real.
Strong guy: next time just go, because they are going to think that it’s a good idea.
Marrow: maybe it is. For them I mean..
Pyro: and what is that supposed to mean?
Pyro and mystic walk in.
Marrow: I just mean that if they fight …we can see what all they can do.
Pyro: and what all can they do they are all weak pathetic cowards.
Marrow: actually the new one isn’t
Pyro: Rouge…please she’s more scared of herself then she is of us.
Marrow: she might have you think that but the truth is she could be trouble.
Pyro: and what does that mean.
Marrow: she talked to them.
Pyro: who.
Marrow: her family or new family or what ever it is….i think it is where you guys got her from.
Pyro: No …how could she.
Marrow: she used all of the others powers. Sage jump started her dust help her cerate a dust that took the shape of her and then kurt helped her transport it. I don’t know what she told them…but now she and others are trying to get out of here.
Pyro: and you didn’t stop them?
Marrow: lets just say with her power, she’ll be felling the pain today without much gain…especially if you have a girl like me on your side who goes and gets a job done.
Gambit: whats the job?
Marrow: well she wants to contact her friends in spear time…
Gambit: we don’t give her any spear time.
Pyro: so I’ll pump up the sessions and you two pump up the what ever it is that you do.
Gambit: gambit thinks that he can do that.
Marrow: yeah and I have a why to do it.
Pyro: well then tell me what are your all doing here go stop that traitor before she tells all of her x men buddies where we are. Strong Guy and Juggy takes these to out ( into Strong guys ear ) and make it look realistic ..huh.
Strong Guy: sure boss
