Emma...Sort of

"I figured you'd come here, like sniveling coward you are." Emma Frost declared.

Shaw couldn't believe it, of course then he quickly remembered that she'd been there before, he took here there to go underground for a bit, after the X-Men routed one of their many plans.

He fondly remembered those months of seemingly non-stop **** and sex.

Before he could get too lost in those memories, Emma leapt at him and he soon found a power suppressing collar around his neck.

"FUCK!" He shouted as she landed a kick on him that put him on his ass.

Emma was so busy with Shaw that she didn't notice Rogue until it was too late and Rogue soon used her powers on the former White Queen, which led her to find out that it wasn't Emma at all.

"MOMMA!" Rogue exclaimed as Mystique shifted back into her regular form, she'd taken Emma's form to try and catch Shaw off guard, it had worked, but, as always, Rogue had a way of derailing her plans.

"Anna, do you have any idea what you've done?" Mystique asked her, as she recovered from Rogue's powers.

"What do you think Ah've done?" Rogue shot back.

"I think, from the looks of it, that you've foolishly fallen under the spell of Shaw." Mystique said.

"Ah knew it, you're mad that I decided to make my own choices for once." Rogue angrily spat.

Of course, with Mystique distracted by arguing with her daughter, Shaw was able to try and get the power suppressing collar off of him.

"You've made the worst choice of your life, even worse than joining the X-Men and falling in love with that disgusting Cajun, at least you used to be your own person, now you're just a pawn to Shaw." Raven declared.

"Like it was any different with either you or Xavier." Rogue responded.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Shaw was trying to free himself of the collar, so she quickly realized she had to intensify the argument to really keep Raven's focus away from him.

"You know, deep in your heart, that you don't love me and you don't love Kurt, in fact, you only view me as someone to use to further your agenda and Kurt could die tomorrow and you'd just shrug and go about your life." Rogue said.

That comment hit Raven harder than any punch Rogue had thrown at her over the years, sure Anna had hated her at times, but she had never been this blunt and vicious towards her.

Not that Raven hadn't deserved it more often then not.

For several minutes, Rogue tore into her, for every single failure of her life.

Then she declared that Destiny would be disgusted by her and that was when Raven saw red.

As soon as Irene's name came out of Rogue's mouth, Raven was ready to kill her with her bare hands.

Which was exactly what the new Black Queen wanted.

That's it, Raven, walk right into the trap. Rogue gleefully thought as her adopted mother had finally had enough and took a wild swing at her.

Rogue ducked and dodged and made sure to never stop taunting her about her various failures.

If Rogue was acting this way, then it was a clear sign to Raven that she had to stop both Rogue and Shaw before Rogue became truly dangerous.

Eventually, Rogue had enough of Mystique and subdued her calming Raven down enough to get Raven back on track.

"If you absorbed my memories, then you know what Shaw is really up to." Raven said, still trying to appeal to her.

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't." Rogue snarked as Shaw finally got out of the collar and approached them.

"Rogue, this is your last chance, he's working with anti-mutant groups, trying to get a new Sentinel off the ground, everything I've seen tells me that this thing could be the end of mutantkind." Raven revealed, stopping Shaw dead in his tracks and causing a shocked Rogue to loosen her grip enough that Raven could squirm free.

"Anna, make the right choice and help me stop him, we can end this now and we can forget it ever happened and move on with our lives." Mystique said as she and Shaw readied themselves to resume their battle.

"Yes, Anna, make the right choice and fulfill your destiny as the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club, no more concerting yourself with people who are below you, no more being someone's pawn, this is your chance to truly show that you are your own woman." Shaw implored.

Rogue had a big choice to make on if she wanted to see this through, or if she wanted to go back to her old life and end Shaw's potentially genocidal business.

It didn't take long for Rogue to make her choice.
