Logan shook his head to clear the groginess, then looked in the direction Kes was indicating. He stared at the TV. It looked like something was going on, having to do with a mutant facility.
Thankfully he rememberd that beast had just installled a Tivo allowing him to rewind the video.
What he saw astounded him. "Oh my God...Rogue what have you gotten yourself into..."
He remembered Kes was in the room. "Oh sorry, It looks Rogue has broken into the Paul Martin Containment Facility, at least I think its Rogue smashing the camera." Logan snickered but only for a second, the seriousness of what she was doing , not to mention, the consequences; hit him dead in the face.

Betsy went down the stairs and was about to head down the hall toward the kitchen when she heard voices coming from the rec room. Knowing how early it was still, she was surprised that anyone was in there. Curiosity got the better of her and she walked to the door and saw Logan and Kes in the room, looking at the television. She was about to turn away when the word "X-Men" caught her attention. Betsy walked far enough into the room to see the broadcast and inhaled sharply when she saw the TIVO replay of the news broadcast.
"Oh sorry, It looks Rogue has broken into the Paul Martin Containment Facility, at least I think its Rogue smashing the camera," Logan said to Kes.
Although she knew it would still be uncomfortable to do, Betsy psychically scanned the mansion and grounds then said, "Rogue isn't here." She knew the implication of that simple phrase.

"Hey Bets, sleep well?"
Logan could smell when Betsy entered the room, his eyes still fixated on the report he was seeing as he was still shocked about the whole thing.
Rewinding the video back, Logan Showed Betsy the entire footage.
"Rogue isn't here."
Logan didnt like where this was going, not one bit.
"This isnt good, not at all...and we thought Tracker was a problem."

..."It looks like Rogue has broken into the Paul Martin Containment Facility..."
Images flashed through her head and for the second time that morning her left hand went upto her right shoulder.
"Who do you think she's trying to rescue?"
She hoped that whatever Rouge was doing she didn't get trapped in there. She didn't want her new friends to be exposed to that place especially when she knew exactly what went on and who ran it.

The replays of the camera-smashing stopped as the anchors touched their earpieces.
"It seems as if we have some more news coming in from the PMCF. Hordes of Mutants have been released, and are now making their escapes. Murderers, thieves, and the like are easily taking over the guards and exiting the facility. It has been confirmed that the person responsible for the break-out is the X-Man, Rogue. We will try our best to get in touch with the X-Men and see if they have any comment. To recap, hundreds of Mutant convicts are escaping the Paul Martin Containment Facility, seemingly set free by the X-Men."
The screen cut to footage of the outside of the Facility, where somone hovered in the air, their cape blowing as they dodged gunfire.
"Reports indicate that she is working with the aid of this individual, who has yet to be identified..."

"What the bloody h*ll does she think she's doing?" Betsy said as she finished watching the review on the tape.
Before either of them to answer Kes, the news reporter broke in with more information. Betsy watched, wide eyed as it appeared that Rogue had just unleashed some of mutantkinds less nobel citizens. When the camera panned upward to show a shadowy figure, Betsy said, "Magneto."

"Who do you think she's trying to rescue?"
Logan didn't even want to think about it. Could she possibly be...? No, not Rogue she wouldn't do that, or would she?
Watching the rest of the report he assumed Kes was getting her answer from the live footage.
"Betsy this dosent look good, someone needs to tell Xavier, I have a feeling we are going to be quite busy." Logan groaned realizing that he didnt have a stogie on him, figures that he would be in the Rec Room with nothing to smoke.
Logan looked to Kes, for a brief moment he sensed something was wrong with her since her smell changed slightly.
"Kes you okay...?"

Glancing off to the side of the room, she said, "Professor Xaiver is still in the War Room. I'll go update him on what's happening and meet you down there. Knowing him, he has every 24 hour news channelled taped."
She looked over at Kes and noticed the girl rubbing her arm but didn't say anything. Betsy could tell the girl was uncomfortable with her so she simply left the room.

"Kes you okay...?"
"Erm, yeah. I'm fine."
She removed her hand and consentrated on what the reporter was saying.
"Professor Xaiver is still in the War Room. I'll go update him on what's happening and meet you down there. Knowing him, he has every 24 hour news channelled taped."
Kes wanted to come aswell, she hated being out of the loop and figured that perhaps she could be of some help.
"Er...could I come?"
Her voice was small and unsure, but she didn't want to be left out again.

December 20
Betsy sat with her legs curled under her body, her back tucked into the corner of the couch and a book in her hands. She concentrated on the pages in front of her, reading the same sentence three times. Snapping the book shut, she set it on the couch next to her and closed her eyes. Not sleeping, she just let her mind wander past the mansion walls and gates. She searched for nothing in particular, just tried to soothe her restlessness. She really should be out shopping for presents for her friends but her heart wasn't in it this year. Christmas was only five days away and although mansion was very festive as always, Betsy would rather tune it all out and forget the holiday.

Being five days from Christmas, they didn't have schoolwork, and Ash was beggining to get bored. Sure she could always talk to the other kids, but she had found it hard to join in their conversations since coming to the school. She didn't have any books, so she had decided to come find one to read. Ash walked into a room and saw Besty curled up on a couch. She smiled and walked over to the other woman. "Hi"

Rogue walked in silently, not wanting to disturb Psylocke, who was obviously doing something psychically. She nodded a greeting to Ash and headed past her. Taking a seat in one of the chairs, she scratched at the little armband that kept her on the mansion's property. She felt a lot like a dog, wearing a shock collar. Truth was, though, she was on house arrest. Xavier had been able to use his influences to get her sentence reduced for breaking into the PMCF, but three months of house arrest was the best that she could get. The armband had a chip in it that told the authorities where she was at all times. It was not fun.
Leaning back into the chair, she put her feet up. She was starting to get stir crazy. There had been a few times when she'd considered just leaving. The odds of anyone being able to stop her were slim to none. Of course, then she'd have to spend the rest of her life on the run. And Xavier had given the police his word that she'd stay put. She didn't want to make him have to suffer for her.
She picked up a stack of mail that was on the table next to her and started to look through it. After a moment, she pulled out a postcard and read it. Looking over at Psylocke, she asked, "Did you see this? Jean and Scott send us a card from the Bahamas."

"Did you see this? Jean and Scott send us a card from the Bahamas."
James entered the room with his usual flambouance. "Really? How are they enjoying it there?"
He nodded to Ash. She seemed like she could be a fun person to hang around. He was looking for something to do, NOT that homework he still hadn't done that was suppose to be his christmas break work. He would do it most likely the two days before break was over, but what better way to get back into the routine.

"Did you see this? Jean and Scott send us a card from the Bahamas."
*BAMF!* Nightcrawler had just ported into the rec. room when he heard the happy news. He looked at Rogue, making sure she had sufficient clothing on and then ported directly behind her. *BAMF!*
He set his hands on her shoulder and peaked over to see the card.
"I vonder if all is vell for zem. I pray always for zere safety un safe return. Does it say ven zeye are coming back?" Kurt asked, it had been a long time since he had seen his friends.
