Summary
At a school dance Cody and his friend Ty walk out onto a
deck where Rogue is gazing out over the water. Cody asks Rogue to dance.
She hesitates at first but agrees. As they're dancing Ty tells
Cody to "make his move" and pushes him into Rogue. They both fall down
and when Cody reaches down to help Rogue get up he touches her skin and
her power is activated for the first time. Cody passes out and Rogue
"sees" Cody's memories.
Ty freaks out and asks her what she did to Cody, when
she tries to run he jumps in her way but she tackles him and takes off.
Irene (Destiny) who seems to be Rogue's guardian, foresees the whole
event and calls in Mystique.
A ninja sneaks into the X-Men mansion. Storm attacks him
and ends up knocking him into the danger room. The ninja takes out some
machinery before Xavier calls for him to stop. Turns out to be Wolverine
giving a demonstration for the students. He tells Storm that the
mansions defenses were too easily breached and they talk about ways to
boost security.
During the flight Kitty talks to Jean about how she
thinks Scott is so "together" and cute. Kurt overhears them and acts
jealous. He 'ports out to the front of the Blackbird trying to show off.
He loses his footing and 'ports back into the Blackbird but slams into
Kitty. Xavier tells him it's no place to be goofing off, and that he
scared Kitty. Kurt apologizes but Kitty tells him to stay away from her.
Mystique morphs into Wolverine and attacks Rogue. She chases her out of
the house, then morphs into Storm and throws fake lightening at her.
Kurt talks Logan into letting him go after the girl,
since she seems so terrified of Wolverine. He agrees and tells him to
watch after the "half-pint", which makes Kitty mad. Kurt ports up to
Rogue and tries to talk to her. Kitty phases through a fence behind
them, and decides to "show" Wolverine by taking down Rogue. She tackles
her and Rogue throws her off. When Kurt grabs Rogue she touches him and
absorbs his powers. Rogue 'ports away and Kurt collapses.
Rogue reappears in a graveyard, she starts to figure out
what's happening and uses Kurt's power to 'port around the graveyard
until she falls. Kitty tries to revive Kurt and then calls out to Xavier
for help. Xavier sends Wolverine after Kit and Kurt and sends out Storm,
Scott, and Jean after Rogue. Mystique shows up at the graveyard. Jean
finds Rogue, who recognizes Jean using Kurt's memories. The two talk and
Jean gives Rogue a communicator in case she ever wants to talk to her.
Storm shows up and Rogue runs.
Mystique follows her and morphs into the different X-Men
and chases her around. When the real Storm tries to help Rogue, Rogue
absorbs her powers and loses control. She wrecks the graveyard and then
'ports away. The rest of the X-Men arrive at the graveyard and they
figure out that Mystique was there causing trouble.
