Authors Note: This is my first X Men fic. This story is set during X Men The Last Stand. Since no one really knows what happened to her and I took the chance to write what I think happened.

Rogue

I could be cured?! Without being allowed to touch anyone in all the years I have been alive this would be something that could finally make me happy. I thought of all the obsticals I had faced when I was a child, no one was allowed to touch me I would have to wear gloves to school and kids often stayed away from me. I ran my hands through the white streak in my hair and I knew that it was there to send a message to have everyone stay away from me.

I signed as I laid back in my bed, I couldn't believe that this was happening. Bobby and I were at stand still he couldn't even kiss me. I knew that guys had a desire for more contact and it was hard to believe that he would choose to stay with me when he realized that he couldn't even kiss her he would choose some other girl and leave me alone.

Was that really the only reason that I wanted to lose my powers, forever. I took the pillow and hugged it tight to my body. It was as close to physical contact that I would ever get. I felt one lone tear streaking down my face.

I stood up and walked towards my window to stare at the stars, they were beautiful and I wasn't the only one that couldn't touch them, the whole world was out of their reach. I walked slowly my body exhausted from the pressure of having to deal with all the thoughts swirling in my head, I finally got to the window and my body froze.

Bobby and Kitty were ice skating together, he was holding her hand. They stopped and suddenly they were kissing. I knew that Bobby must have made the ice for her and now they were enjoying a moment together that he would never get with me. I threw myself away from the window and looked around feverishly. I found my bag and started to throw clothes into it. My mind did not focus on a specific thought other then I will get that cure and everything will be fine.

"You need a lift, kid?" I heard Logan's voice behind me. I knew he wouldnt mind.

"No," I said my tone emotionless, I didnt need sympathy.

"Whereore you going?" He asked curiously but somehow it didn't sound like he would remprimend me for my thoughts. The words burst from my mouth without a second thought.

"You don't know what it's like to be afraid of your powers, to be afraid to get close to anybody," I held my tears in check, but on the inside my heart was breaking over and over again.

"Yeah, I do," Logan replied and I felt guilty everyone could see how he looked at Professor Gray.

"I wanna be able to touch people, Logan. A hug, a handshake, a kiss," I emplored hoping that he would understand my pain more, he was able to touch, he knew what a kiss felt like, but I haven't had that chance and it was something that I would be willing to get rid of my powers for."I hope you're not doing this for some boy. Look, if you wanna go, then go. Just be sure it's what you want," Logan simply stated, I looked at him stunned.

"Shouldn't you be telling me to stay, to go upstairs and unpack?" I asked confused at his behavior, but thinking to myself when has Logan done anything expected?

"I'm not your father. I'm your friend. THinkg about what I said, Rogue," I thought of how much I hated that name, it wasn't me.

"Marie," I said simply before getting ready to leave the school. His words were already wrapping themselves around my head and I couldn't help but doubt that I would not be able to go through with it.

"Marie," he simply said waking me up from my thoughts and at that moment I felt myself smile I knew my choice would not change. I walked out of the hall and was ready to face whatever challange life through at me.
