Rogue Recruit

underline means telepathy
*then words* mean someone who isn’t a telepath is projecting their thoughts
Some character(Mystique) means that Mystique is disguised as that person and is talking.
Oh, and *FLASH* means either Irene is having a vision or Rogue is thinking about someone elses memories. Finally, there is screamng and grunting is every episode but I don't like writing all the "Ahhh's!" and Uhhh. But I think everyone will be able to tell when someone is sreaming or something.

We open up in Mississippi. There is a party going on and everyone is having a good time excepts for one girl who is outside watching all the happy people. It’s Rogue. She sighs and turns around to face the other way just as two football players (Ty and Cody) step outside.
Ty: Body snatchers. That's the only explanation, man.
Cody stops and looks at the sulking Rogue.
Ty: My good buddy Cody is now a pod person. Gone in an evening from bad to sad, flame to lame. Nurse, he's coded! Personality paddles, stat!
Cody: Oh, come on. I'm just, you know, picking my moment. Taking it slow.
Ty: Cody, I've seen glaciers move faster. There she is, the girl you've been staring at all week. Please tell me you at least know her name.
He shrugs and Ty hits himself in the forehead in disgust
Ty: You lamo! This ends now, come on.
Ty grabs his arm and drags him to Rogue
Cody: Ty, I...
Ty pushes him forward and Rogue turns around
Rogue: Huh? Can I help you?
Cody: Uh... Dance.
Ty gives a thumbs up.
Cody: I mean, would you like to? With me, that is. Together...
Ty covered his eyes feeling embarrassed for Cody.
Rogue: I'm really just hanging out here and...
Cody looks down, upset. Rogue sighs
Rogue: Aw, hey, why not? After all, where's the harm in one dance?
Rogue heads inside; Cody and Ty high five and the two also go inside.
***
Rogue’s house. A women (Irene) is sitting down and suddenly gets a vision. She gasps
*FLASH*
Cody trying to help Rogue up who is on the floor.
Irene: No! Don't touch him!
*FLASH*
Cody touching Rogue; skin-to-skin contact.
Irene: Oh, my dear child.
***
Inside the dance. Everyone is happy and dancing. Cody and Rogue are dancing but she is still sort of distance
Ty: Get closer. Make your move.
Ty pushes him closer to her, but pushes Cody a little too hard making him run into Rogue. The two fall down.
Cody: Hey, I'm sorry.
Cody helps Rogue up just like in Irene’s vision. He touches her bare skin a little and the two shake and scream. Cody lets go and everyone is now watching. Cody stands for a second then falls over in a dead faint. Rogue is watching in horror and she now has his memories.
*FLASH*
Cody as a child climbing a tree
*FLASH*
Cody at school watching Rogue at lunch
*FLASH*
Cody in a football game
*FLASH*
Rogue: My head. These images. What's happening to me? What am I? Who am I?
***
The party. Everyone is in a circle around Cody. Ty gets on his knees to see if his friend is okay while Rogue is backing off slowly.
Ty shaking Cody: Cody? Cody? What's wrong? What did you do to him?
She starts to run off by Ty is faster and blocks the door
*FLASH*
Cody pushing down a person from the other team in a football game
*FLASH*
Rogue rams into Ty just like in the vision making him fall down.
Ty: I thought only Cody had moves like that.
***
Rogue’s house again. Irene is on the phone talking to someone (Mystique)
Irene: *On the phone* That's not what I said. I see pathways, probabilities. I predicted what form her mutant powers would take, Not when they would manifest. She turns around and looks at a couple pictures of Rogue
Irene: Yes, I did take precautions. The phony skin condition. The way she dressed. But she's a teenage girl, I couldn't keep her in isolation. Of course you're coming, I know. And the others? Xavier's team? They're coming too.
***
The attic of the X-mansion. A went above opens up and someone jumps down. It is Logan in a Ninja outfit.
Storm: Impressive. You got past the automated defenses by using the air vents.
Logan sniffs and Storm steps out of a corner.
Storm: By you won't get past me!
Logan looks up and a window opens with a big rush of air. We see Logan’s feet as he has gone into the air vents again. He closes it and begins to climb.
Storm: Testing me, hmm? All right then, it's time you remember why they call me Storm.
She flies up a little and a t-storm begin to form, only over the roof. Rain starts to pour, only into the chimney.
Logan: Hmm?
He turns around and picks up the pace. Tons of water is right behind him. The water forces him out of the vent into the Danger Room.
Storm: You look a little flushed. And the forecast isn't good.
She is now in the control room for the Danger Room. Logan jumps up but is blasted with tons of ice.
Logan: Now. That. Was. Cold.
He breaks out of the ice surrounding him.
Storm: Then let's warm you up.
A cannon comes out from a wall and begins to fire.
Logan unleashes his claws and stabs it. It explodes forcing him back.
Logan: Gotta connect first. Got any other party tricks?
Something comes our from the floor. It has four weapons and spins around. He dodges them and gets to the middle part of the machine and also stabs it. The machine stops
Xavier’s voice: Stop! It is, at the moment, as much as we can afford, Wolverine.
Logan taking of Ninja mask: Hey, when I give a demo, I give a demo!
One part of the machine falls to the ground.
***
The control room. All the X-men are watching.
Scott: Is that "demo" as in demolish or demonstration? What was the point?
Storm: The point, young Cyclops, was to teach you something about finding the weak points in sophisticated security systems.
Wolverine comes in, his Ninja uniform ripped in several places.
Logan: That's right, bub. And I'd say ours needs a little work.
He walks by Kurt who is upside down eating popcorn.
Kurt: That was tight! I give it two thumbs up.
Storm brought up the video of Wolverine dodging radar lasers/motion detectors by doing impressive flips.
Logan: The vents were pretty easily breached. Gonna need to fix that. Maybe electrify 'em or install poison gas sprayers.
Storm: Wolverine...
Logan: Alright, alright. Knock out gas then.
Kitty, Scott, and Jean are listening to this. Scott nods and Kitty shivers.
Kitty: Brrrr, is it just me, or is anyone else, like, seriously freaked by all this.
All the X-men are just watching her not saying anything.
Kitty: Oh, right. It's just me? Great...
Kurt: Relax Kitty, you'll be fine.
He teleports to right side, sitting normally.
Kurt: We're right beside you.
He ports to her left side laying down, tail holding the popcorn bowl.
Kurt: Popcorn?
She freaks out and the two stand up.
Kurt: Heh, sorry. Next time I'll honk before I ‘port.
Kitty: Whatever. Look, guys, it's late. If it's no biggie to you, I'm gonna, like, drop out.
Kitty phases through the floor. Kurt looks down at the floor, downstruck.
Kurt: Ack, she's fully not into the fuzzy dude. Not that I really blame her.
Jean walks over to him and puts her hand on his shoulder in sympathy.
Jean: Aww, she just needs time, Kurt. She'll come around.
Kurt looks up at her in hope and Xavier enters the room.
Xavier: X-Men, we have an emergency. Scott, get the blackbird prepped for launch and since it's the weekend, assemble the full team.
Scott: Yes, sir. What's the mission?
Xavier: Cerebro has detected a new mutant in Caldecot County, Mississippi.
***
Mississippi. A few people are walking the streets. Rogue runs into a couple and another by but keeps on running.
Xavier Off Screen: My mental impression of the scene indicate a highly disturbed individual. Our mutant is a danger to herself and possibly others as well.
Rogue runs into the middle of a street and stops just when a car is about to hit her, but the car swerves to the right and runs into a lamppost.
Guy from Car: Driver: Hey! What are you, nuts? Crazy kid!
She continues to run off
Xavier OS: We have a Rogue.
***
The blackbird is on the runway gaining speed for takeoff. It goes through part of a waterfall and they are on their way.
***
Inside the Blackbird. Kurt is piloting and Scott is in the co-pilot seat.
Kurt: Stealth mode stable, leveling off at 10,000 feet.
Scott: Steady. Now hold it right there, and... you've got it. Nice job, Kurt. You'll make a pilot yet.
Kurt: Thanks.
Kurt leans back and begins to steer with his feet.
Scott shaking his head: Or maybe not. I've logged our flight plan with the FAA. We're cleared through to Jackson. We'll take the van from there.
Xavier: Good. You're picking up logistics quickly, Scott.
In the back of the plane. Kitty and Jean are talking.
Kitty: Scott seems so, like, together. So cool, and he's kinda cute.
Jean: Cute? Uh, stiff, maybe, exacting, definitely, but -- hmm, you know...
The two look at Scott
Jean: from a certain angle...
Kurt is looking at them and sighs. He teleports out of the plane on to the front of it. He smiles a bit while everyone is watching him. The wind is strong and he starts to fall. Kurt quickly teleports back inside. In the plane he is still falling and “flies” past everyone and ends up on Kitty’s lap
Xavier: Kurt, the blackbird is not the place to be fooling around. You frightened Kitty.
Kitty stands up and pushes Kurt off of her.
Kurt: Sorry Kitty.
Kitty: Eww! Just, like, stay away from me!
She unbuckles her seat belt and walks up to the front
Logan: Kids.
***
Mississippi. A plane is landing. It stops in front of a limp and Ms. Darkholme gets out. She enters the limp and Irene is there waiting for her.
Irene: You made good time, Raven.
Ms. Darkholme: Our organization's mysterious founder has certain resources, Irene.
She shifts into her actual form, Mystique.
Mystique: What happened? I left the girl in what I thought was your safekeeping.
Irene: At the school dance, her mutant powers manifested and she accidentally made physical contact with a local boy.
Mystique: Absorbing his memories and physical abilities. Wonderful. We keep her hidden away in this backwater for the better part of 5 years and in 5 minutes it all falls. We cannot lose her, especially not to Xavier. She possesses the potential for limitless power. You can see the future, Irene, where will she go?
Irene: Home. Or what she thinks is home...
***
In front of Cody’s house. Rogue is standing outside thinking this is her home.
*FLASH*
Cody’s dad walking through the door
*FLASH*
She runs to the door and looks inside. She reaches up to the roof for the key to the house.
Rogue lets herself in.
***
In front of a hospital. Every X-men except Jean is in the X-van.
Logan: This really necessary?
Xavier: Yes, Logan. The boy, Cody, is the key to finding our Rogue, but he's unconscious and his mind is illusive. To isolate his memory patterns, I need someone on the inside.
***
In one of the hospital rooms, Cody is in a bed and his parents are by his side. Ty is pacing around the room. Jean walks in dressed as a nurse. She puts a hand to Cody’s forehead to read his thoughts.
Ty: He'll be okay, right? You'll help him?
Jean: Yes, we will.
***
In front of Cody’s house. The limo stops and Mystique is about to get out.
Irene: Now what? You won't hurt her, will you? After all, Raven, she's your--
Mystique: I know, Irene, I know.
The driver opens the door.
Mystique: Trust me, she will come to us willingly, given the right incentive.
She changes her form into Wolverine.
***
In Cody’s room. Rogue is sitting on his bed looking at a yearbook.
Rogue: All this is me? Uh, mine?
She closes the book and heads to the mirror
Rogue: But which me am I?
She knocks everything off the dresser and quickly turns around. Wolverine(Mystique) is in the room.
Rogue: Who, who are you and what do you want?
Wolverine(Mystique): You, girlie! I want you!
“He” unleashes “his” claws and jumps at her. She ducks out of the way and “he” runs into the closet breaking it.
Wolverine(Mystique): Stand still and I'll make it quick. You’re dealing with the X-Men now. And you ain't got a chance.
Rogue picks up a board from the broken closet.
Rogue: X-Men? I don't understand. I just want you to leave me alone!
She hits “him” with the board and runs out the room, down the steps, and out the door.
Wolverine(Mystique) howls and jumps down the steps.
Wolverine(Mystique): One more turn of the screw.
“He” turns back into Mystique who then turns into Storm.
Storm(Mystique): And you'll come running into my arms.
***
In an alley. Logan, Kurt, and Kitty are searching for Rogue.
Kitty: So, does this, like, bite or what?
Logan: The prof says the girl's mind is confused and difficult to pinpoint. So keep lookin'.
He looks in a dumpster and then closes it. He then turns around and smells something. (no, not the garbage)
Kurt: Vas? Got a scent?
Logan: Yeah, I smell fear.
***
In a backyard Rogue is running across it. She climbs a fence then stops.
Storm(Mystique): One well-placed lightning bolt. One ex-mutant.
Storm(Mystique) throws some sort of ball that explodes. Rogue jumps down from the fence and the explosion barely missed her. She rolls on the ground right next to Irene.
Irene: Rogue, it's me Irene. Try and remember.
Rogue: Uh, who? Wait--Irene, yes, but... I'm so confused. Strange thoughts in my head
*FLASH*
Wolverine(Mystique) and Storm(Mystique) chasing her.
*FLASH*
Rogue: People chasing me.
Irene: Easy, easy, honey. The police are coming. The X-Men will not risk a confrontation.
Rogue: The X-men?
Irene: Yes, mutant hunters. Now hurry! I have a friend who can help you. I'll take you to her. Irene holds out a hand and she takes it.
Rogue: I don't know, all this is happening so fast. I don't ...
Rogue looks over Irene and sees Logan, Kurt, and Kitty running towards her. It’s him!
The one who attacked me! Run, Irene, Run!
She lets go of Irene’s hand leaving one of her gloves. The three X-men run past Irene.
Logan: That's gotta be her!
Rogue climbs on the fence again.
Rogue jumping over: Please leave me be!
Kurt teleports in front of Logan.
Kurt: Wolverine, wait! She seems to be terrified by you. Let me try.
Logan: Okay, kid. Just don't mess up, capeshe?
Kurt saluting: Yes, sir!
Logan: I'll go find the prof. And squirt, put on your best face.
Nightcrawler gives two thumbs up and turns on the image enhancer.
Logan: No sense freakin' the poor kid out any more than she already is. And keep an eye on the half-pint here. (Kitty)
Kitty: Hey!
***
In the lawn Rogue is running in, Kurt teleports onto the tree swing right behind her.
Kurt: Guten tag, frauleine. Please, don't be frightened.
He teleports on the fountain next to her.
Rogue: What do you want?
He gets off the fountain to face her.
Kurt: To help you. We're the good guys, especially me.
Kitty phases through the fence.
Kitty: Half-pint? I'll show him.
Kurt: I was like you once: Alone, unsure of what I was, afraid to show my face. Can you believe it?
Kitty: She doesn't look so tough to me.
Kurt: Kitty, no!
Kitty jumps on Rogue pinning her to the ground.
*FLASH*
Cody is wrestling getting someone off of him.
*FLASH*
Rogue does the same thing to Kitty. Kurt grabs Rogue’s arms holding her in place. She struggles a little and slams one of her fists on the image enhancer making Kurt appear in actual form. She screams and tries to push him away. (with ungloved hand) They both start to flash and yell. Rogue lets go of him and they both stumble backwards. Rogue gasps and teleports away while Kurt falls on the ground unconscious.
Kitty: Nightcrawler? Nightcrawler? Kurt! Kurt!
***
Rogue teleports into a cemetery.
Rogue: What just happened? Where am I? And ich verstenen deutscher. I can speak German? The fuzzy one... Kurt. I'm him. Just like I was Cody. I think I'm catching on now. But how did I..?
She teleports a few times around the cemetery and starts to enjoy it. She ends up on a bench but it collapses.
Rogue: When is this all gonna end?
***
Back to the lawn where Kurt and Kitty are in. Kitty is trying to wake him up.
Kitty: Say something, Kurt, please. Tease me, scare me, anything. Oh, please... don't be dead. Come on, Kitty, okay... what would Wolverine do, besides dice up, like, half the landscape? Wait, the professor can read minds right? *Maybe he can hear my thoughts.*
***
Xavier, Scott, Jean, and Ororo are on a sidewalk. The Prof is tracing Rogue with his mind.
Xavier: Odd, the trail seems to have gone suddenly cold. I can no longer read Cody's brain wave patterns.
Jean: But if he's gone, then...
Xavier: Then it may simply mean that the effect of transference is temporary. Our problem now is how to find the girl.
Logan jumps over the fence.
Logan: Try about 10 gardens due west. Kurt's trying to keep her from bolting.
Xavier: Then we must...
Kitty: *Professor!! Professor!!*
Xavier gasps and Kitty’s yelling.
Xavier: Kitty? Kitty? Not... not so loud. Slowly, please. Order you're thoughts.
Kitty: *It's Kurt. She hurt him. She did something to him.*
Xavier: Stay where you are, Kitty. Help is on its way. Wolverine, it's Nightcrawler. The Rogue has his mind and his abilities.
Wolvie growls and unleashes his claws.
Logan: This is my fault. I shouldn't have left the little squirrel in charge.
He jumps back over the fence.
Xavier: I'm getting a clear reading now on Kurt's brainwave patterns. She’s more focused each time she uses her power. You three go ahead, I'll guide you.
The three run off.
***
In the cemetery. Mystique is in the shadows walking towards Rogue. She hides behind a tall grave and turns to look at her. Just as quickly, she turns back around when she sees Jean walking up to Rogue.
Jean: Hi.
Rogue: Do, do I know you? Uh, these memories, I'm so confused.
Jean: Yeah, I know. I can relate to what you're going through.
Rogue: Jean. You're Jean Grey. You're like the others!
Jean: Relax! If you know who I am, then you know I won't hurt you. Look, it's tough to go it solo. Hey, zero pressure. But if you want to talk more, you can reach me anytime with this communicator.
Jean opens up her hand and uses her tk to float it to Rogue.
Rogue: Latest fashion accessory, huh?
Rogue looks behind Jean and sees Storm
Rogue: You, you... no, you won't take me!
She runs off and Scott tries to catch up with her
Scott: No! Wait!
Scott tires to tackle Rogue but misses and ends up in a puddle of mud.
Jean: I don't get it. We were connecting and then...
Storm: Then she saw me. For some reason, she's afraid of me. Scott wiping mud off his face: Well, she looked pretty beat, she can't have gone far.
***
Back again to Kurt and Kitty. She is still trying to wake him up.
Kitty: Come on, Kurt, wake up. You know, I'm still not big on facial hair, but, like, the pointy ears are starting to work for me.
***
Rogue is in some sort of room in the cemetery. She is crouched down on the floor. She gasps when Scott(Mystique) “drops” in.
Scott(Mystique): Thought you could escape us, did you? The X-men don't leave loose ends.
“He” walks towards her pushing down a few things. She runs out the door where the real Scott is walking past. She runs into him and pushes him on the ground making him shoot a beam at a power line. He gets up and she runs back into the room again where Jean(Mystique) is still there.
Jean(Mystique): I tried, I really did, but some people just won't be helped!
Rogue teleports out of the room into the sky. She starts to fall and teleports closer to the ground, but she still hits it pretty hard. The real Jean runs over to her.
Jean: Are you hurt? Lie still. Don't try to move.
Rogue crawls away from her right where Storm is.
Storm: Child, what is it? We are your friends. Ororo reaches out to Rogue but Rogue grabs her arm with her ungloved hand on purpose. The two start to flash and scream. Storm is shoved back unconscious. Rogue is up in the air and lightning and wind start to form. Scott: Hey, what's with the effects? Is... He looks at Jean who is watching Rogue go nuts.
Scott: Oh, no. No!
Rogue is still in the sky and a really bad thunderstorm is forming. A couple trees are pulled from the roots. Jean forms a tk wall around her and Scott.
Jean: I can hold it off a little.
Scott: Give it up. She's got storm's powers, but not her control.
Lightning is hitting tons of things making a couple building crumble. A bolt hits the power lines making them spark.
Scott: The power lines! If they hit that water, Storm'll be fried!
Scott and Jean run towards Storm. Scot grabs her and Jean uses her tk to bring all three of them in the air right before the power lines hit the water.
Jean: I can't keep us up for long.
Rogue: Too much power! I can't control it! I have to...
She screams and teleports away. The thunderstorm stops. Jean brings them back to the ground and runs over to Scott and Jean. A moment later, the rest of the team shows up.
Scott: Wh...what do you think happened to the Rogue?
Professor: Uhh, she's gone... Somewhere. Her mind is a jumble. I can't trace it. But I strongly suspect the hand of another at work here.
Logan smelling the air: Hmm, Mystique. She can change her body, but not her scent.
Kitty: Then we have to go after her!
Professor: There's been enough damage done today. And the girl must come of her own free will or not at all. And we must first tend to our own.
Storm and Kurt mumble a little and wake up
Kurt looking at all the damage: Huh? Looks like I missed quite a party.
Kitty: Kurt, you're all right!
Kurt groans and falls down, but Kitty catches him.
Kitty: Easy, you fuzzy elf. Everything is going to be just fine.
Kurt opens his eyes in shock and then looks over at Scott.
Scott whispering: Fuzzy elf?
***
In the hospital room. Cody is conscious again and talking to Ty.
Ty: Whatever this was, try to shake it off quick, ok? The game against Jackson is next week, and the last thing we need is Steven’s taking your position.
Ty throws a football and Cody and he throws it in the air. Through the window, we see the blackbird in the air.
***
In Ms. Darkholme’s office and Bayville High. She is greeting Rogue.
Ms. Darkholme: Welcome to Bayville high. I'm sure you'll be very happy here. Happy and safe.
Rogue: Sure. Thank you.
She walks out of the room. When Rogue closes the door some paper clips on Ms. Darkholme’s desk start to move around. Magneto is in the room hiding in the shadows.
Ms. Darkholme changes into Mystique
Magneto: The girl has great power. She is a fine addition to our side.
Mystique: Yes. We were lucky to get to her first.
Magneto: Indeed. You are certain any residual memories of the true X-men have faded?
Mystique: Positive.
Outside the office Rogue is holding the telecomunicator that Jean gave her.
