Footsteps echoed down the path, as Rogue made her way back to her home, and
school, Prof. Xavier's School for gifted Youngsters. It had been a bad day
for her at Bayville High, her actual High school. She had been held back
for lingering after homeroom.
" That is so slack!" Rogue called out loud, dragging her coat behind her.
It was a hot day, but she had to wear so much clothing.
"Protection. Ah mean, ah don't think that anyone would even want to get
near me. They all think ah'm a freak."
And she continued her way down the footpath.

She decided to bring herself in quietly, because, she wanted to take off her gloves. So before she opened the gate, she slipped off her black gloves, and shoved them in her pocket. CREEEaaK went the gate as she pushed it open. The bars felt cold and solid under her fingers. " At least this won't get me in trouble." She whispered to herself. Rogue decided to walk the long way, through the back door. "Hang on," she thought, "why walk when ah can run?" So she crouched down, and untied her shoelace, and pulled off her boots and her ankle socks, revealing a small ankle bracelet she had made for herself. She was about to walk away, when she noticed that the pool was empty. It wasn't a cold day, and the water looked warm, so she sat down at the edge of the pool, and dunked her feet in.
SLAM! Went the backdoor, frightened, Rogue sat up and made a run for it. Not realising that her feet were wet, she slipped, and came crashing into a Kitty, dressed in her swimming costume. Rogue didn't have her gloves on. "Ooh" moaned Kitty as she fainted. Rogue could feel something growing through her fingers, and racing throughout her body. She let go of Kitty with a gasp. She grabbed her gloves out of her pocket, slipped them on, and ran inside to the Professor.
"Professor!" she yelled, not hearing a sound. "JEAN?" she yelled as though Jean was an afterthought. "Yes?" Came a sound from upstairs " Do you know where the Professor is?" She cried "No, but I think I might be able to help you.. ROGUE?" Jean answered surprisingly, as she made her way downstairs. Rogue, suddenly remembered Kitty lying motionless on the cold floor of the back yard, and burst out with tears. "Ah'm sorry, ah didn't mean to!" Rogue sobbed. Jean ran up to her, and tried to put her arm around Rogue's shoulder, but she reluctantly pulled away. "Rogue, just tell me what happened, and I'll try to help.ok?" " Well, ah was only.Ah mean, . Aww, just come out." "Ok," answered Jean. Rogue ran out to the backyard, but as she had absorbed Kitty's powers, she ran right through the wall. "OY MY GOD!" Yelled Jean, "You! You took her powers! Is Kitty all right? You didn't hurt her did you?" Jean ran out and immediately began to help the weak Kitty up to a chair. " Ah didn't mean it. Ah only wanted you to help." She whispered, with tears forming in her eyes.
