Rogue was relaxing on the beach of a coastal town called Gulfport, in Mississippi. Anna Marie didn't have a care in the world until she stood up and tried to fly. Finding out that she could only barely hover on the ground. "Well that just ain't very nice. Wait... then that means, Ms. Danvers..."
This was not good at all Rogue was going to have to find a way back to the X-Mansion it was the only place she could really be safe now.

A cloud of sand was kicked up as the Blackbird settled down nearby. The jaws and sunglasses of several beachgoers dropped at the sight of such a wicked aircraft.
Logan set the ship to idle and unbuckled. He quickly left the cockpit with Tanwen following close behind. Lowering the ramp, he exited the jet.
Looking around, Tanwen took in lungfuls of salty ocean air. His family spent their vacations at their beach house in West Virginia.

"We don't have a long time for a proper greeting we need to get you back to the mansion ASAP. Ms. Marvel is loose. No doubt she'll want revenge." Psylocke said running over to Rogue.
"So you gonna come with us? I think the X-Men could use the Femme Fattalle again." Kari said smiling with the memory of their old days as a small X-Men Rookie strike force.

"I'd like to, but without Ms. Marvel's powers I may not be much use to the team. I might just end up slowin' y'all down." Marie said feeling rather helpless in this matter much as she hated to admit it she'd come to rely a lot on Ms. Marvel's powers.

"We'll figure something out" Logan replied, "if not then you can always cheer us on from the sidelines?" He smiled and gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder, careful not to snap something.
Tanwen bowed politely and added, "I do not believe we have met Rogue. I am Tanwen Romney, codename Flashburn. I'm new to the team."

"Never been one to stick to the sidelines. You should know that fur-ball." Marie then kindly turned over to face Tanwen and smiled. "I'm Marie, but everyone calls me Rogue as you heard." She leaned back against a kiosk and thought for a moment. "Well I guess you guys are gonna twist m' arm off if I don't, and seein' as how right now that's a possibility I figure I could go back to the mansion... So I guess this means the team's gettin' back together then?"

"Not really, only a few of us stuck together and well. The rest we haven't heard from since." Kari said with a bit of disappointment in her tone.
"Well we should get going before Ms. Danvers finds you. I'd hate to see what she'd do after being bottled up for all these years."

"Aye. I don't fancy tryin' to take on a titan like Ms. Marvel" Tanwen replied, "we should leave before she shows up. A battle with all these people around would incur terrible casualties."
"Agreed" Logan replied, turning and walking back to the Blackbird.
Tanwen gave a longing glance at the cool ocean waters, but stuffed it and headed back to the Blackbird.

"Where do you think you're going Marie? We have a score to settle!" Carol almost bellowed in her strong heroic voice. "We're doing this here, and now!"
"Are you insane gal? With all these people around? We can't do this here someone'll get hurt." Rogue retorted trying to talk carol down.
"Don't play miss innocent with me! Now face me!" Carol shouted as her fists sparked to life.

Logan 'shinged' his claws and Tanwen fully ignited.
"Don't force us to fight you" Logan warned, "I don't want to have to hurt you, but if you attack Rogue I'll lop your head off!"
"Carol, we are all of us heroes" Tanwen said gently, "there is no point to this conflict. Rogue is right: if you go on a rampage here with your level of power, countless innocent people; men, women, and children, will be injured and killed. Do you want that on your conscience?"
Watching Carol's fist's spark, his own seemed to do the same. He flexed his hands and extended one, firing a gout of sparks that scorched the ground, but did not glass the sand like his fire did.

"Besids, don't you think she would have freed you sooner if she could have? If there had bin a way to release you that same year then it'd bin done and we wouldn't be having this conversation."

"You have no idea how torturous is was, so many years trapped in her mind. Unable to act freely! You will fight me Rogue!" Ms. Marvel shouted as yet more sparks fell onto the sand of the beach.
"Alright then, Let's do this!" Rogue said getting ready for the fight.

"Rogue, if you try and take her on without your powers, she'll rip you apart" Tanwen replied, "you have the power to absorb the abilities of other mutants right? Take mine, they should prove useful. I can manipulate plasmatic fire to quite an extent."
He held out a hand.

"Your right, we don't know what that's like but I would think that any good person would at least want to take there fight away form an aria that has inosent people. I'm saying you don't have a right to be mad, cos you do. But I just wish you would think for a moment, You wana fight her then why not do it were there are no people? Honestly I'm a little surprised that the same person who was seen on the news rescuing people form danger is the same person who is now willing to put people in danger with out even bothering to think of the consequences. What a difference a day makes."

"Psylocke this girl isn't gonna back down make the people scatter. At least we can give them a fighting chance that way." Kari said before walking over to Rogue she slid her and up over her shoulder. "Take Flashburn's offer." She said before making the slightest contact with Rogue's skin passing on her healing ability. Kari felt a jolt and then stepped back almost losing her balance.
Psylocke did as she was told and took to the air giving all the happy beachgoers a sudden irresistible urge to leave the beach.
