"is it true? There's a cure?" everyone turned to look at the young untouchable woman as she looked around hopefully.
Storm stood up and walked up to Rogue. "no!" she said blatantly. "there is no cure cause there is nothing wrong with you!"
Before Storm could walk away, Rogue called her. Storm stopped and turned around. Everyone watched as the younger woman walked up to the weather goddess. She slipped off her black opera gloves and reached out for Storm. Storm immediately took a step back to avoid the deadly touch.
"yeah, that's what I thought." Rogue said before turning to the door and leaving.
Storm stood there as if trying to analyze what just happened. Logan stood up and walked over to Storm. Clearly, the Wolverine was coming out.
"how could you say that to her? How could you step away from her touch?" Logan growled. Without waiting for an answer, Logan left after Rogue, leaving Storm to her thoughts.
Rogue sat in her room, allowing the tears to fall freely. Rogue could feel Logan approaching. She could always feel him there. As he stood in the threshold of the door, just watching her, she said quietly, "she doesn't understand. She just doesn't understand." Her shoulders began to shake as her tears turned into sobs.
Logan walked over to her and put his arm around her. "I know kid. I know."
