Chapter 1

Weeks on weeks passed, the mansion wasn't the same after everyone...well Jean, Scott, and Xavier were gone. It felt awkwardly strange and to make things worse, one girl no longer had her powers. Marie Rogue. The after weeks months passed.

She watched out the window at the others, usually now days she would join them in the pool, she found it wonderful not having to on those dreadful gloves, touching and being touched was a blessing. Now she didn't have to worry about killing someone with her absorbing powers. Which this also took things between her and Bobby to a physical relationship..not sex she wasn't dumb.

She went back to reading the book she was assigned by her teachers. Life had become easier for all of them now. Humans and Mutants tried getting along with what they could, but not everyone liked the idea. Storm however was finding it a lot easier to cope with newcomers reassuring their parents there was no longer any violence. Although the abilities was put to good use and used daily.

Rogue's appearance had also changed considerably; the once dark brown hair with white streaks...was now a lighter brown almost red color with only two white streaks one on either side. She had gotten taller and leaner. Her eyes still an intense green color. She took more into what she wore as well. No longer long sleeves..no all those clothes were put in the top shelf of her closet in a box now the hangers held short sleeve shirts and skirts along with capris. Life was joyful.

But one thing had simmered on her mind since returning from having the injection. When Storm and Bobby saw her, Storm hadn't known what happened until she called her in the office alone without Bobby.

Storm sat down in the chair behind the desk rubbing her forehead. She didn't look up at the teenager not yet. "Rogue, I know there is something different with you...what did you do?"

Rogue bit her bottom lip and ran her fingers through her hair..she didn't know where to begin...to tell her how afraid she was of her powers and the injection or just tell her she had control of it finally and leave it at that..after all there was no pyschics here to tell Storm otherwise. But no..the truth would become clear in days anyhow.

"Palease don't get mad at meh, but well the injection was lookin so promisin and ah just couldn't put Bobby through not bein able tah kiss meh! So ah had the power suppressor injected into meh." She sat down ready to be ridiculed.

Storm removed her hand and looked at her..eyes widened and full of horror. "Rogue...why on earth? Hank was working with Xavier to come up with a solution that way..."She trailed off seeing the hurt expression on Rogue's face and she started again, "I guess it doesn't really matter now..I'm not going to put you out of the mansion, You still have to train with the physical combat classes but thats all I'm putting you through unless you want to help some younger students who are coming." She finished putting on the best smile she could.

Rogue walked out and about the halls looking around the open doors, newcomers meeting their roomates..she noticed Kitty was settling back in..seemed to be rooming with a newbie..she looked at the girl; short blond hair, tan skin, chirpy face and wearing torn jeans and a red tee shirt that said "I'm with Stupid". Rogue smiled watching Kitty walk away from the fuss of the new girl.

"Like I so rather room with you. Like at least you don't fuss over who gets which closet or bed. She is totally going to be a control freak!" Kitty muttered.

"Whats her name?" Rogue asked amused by her friend's behavior toward the blond.

"Tabitha but her 'elected' mutant name is Boom Boom. If you ask her why, she'll blow something you treasure away!" Kitty said walking off. Rogue walked in the room smelling the smoke of the remnants of a picture frame that used to set on the dresser.

"Hey..Boom Boom right?"

The blond turned toward her, "Thats right," and she walked off leaving Rogue alone. Everyone seemed to have an attitude here at the mansion. Great what a happy bunch of people!

She headed toward Jean's old room, it was sad looking in there and knowing Jean wouldn't usually be sitting on her bed organizining photos with her powers and studying for her finals in hopes of becoming a doctor. She remembered one night Jean showed her a photo of her and Scott when they were teenagers when they first arrived in the mansion. She only hoped she didn't go out that way like her and Scott did. She wanted to keep her life and everything she treasured about it with her.

She walked on hearing a growling down the hall...well it wasn't like its not expected after he did live here too. She looked through the door to see Logan trying to fix...something strange. She bit her bottom lip trying not to laugh.

"Damn nails...how about..."He turned upon hearing the faintest sound behind him, "Hey there stripes, shouldn't you be heading downstairs to hear Storm give the newcomer lecture?" He took the cigar out of his mouth wiping away the sweat dripping off his forehead.

"Yeah thats where ah was headed then ah yah in here beatin and clangin thangs togetha."She watched him get up and walk out with her. He was one of the few that knew what she had done with her powers..the only protection she had against other mutants who didn't know what would happen to them if they touched her, but he was cool with her decision, it only meant he had to become more of her surrogate father.

Downstairs in the hangar;

Storm was waiting for everyone to gather in the hangar..the only place big enough to fit a hundred and twenty students.(note to everyone...i'm not naming everyone of them...they'll randomly appear maybe once or twice...thats it!) She waited for Hank to join her on the little stage she had built, also waited for Logan and Rogue, knowing good and well thats where Rogue was if anywhere.

They walked in and went separete ways Rogue toward the audience and Logan toward the stage. Storm gave him an eerie look but continued to smile at everyone in the audience. "Welcome everyone to Xavier's school for gifted youngsters. I'm sure many of you heard the rumor, this school would be shutting down due to Charles Xavier's death but in no way as long as there is someone willing to run this school, will it ever shut its doors." mild applause broke out then silenced again, " I am the headlady of the mansion,Orroro Munroe..and these are my collegues Logan also known as Wolverine and professor McCoy also known as Hank, Kurt Onasi otherwise Nightcrawler. New teachers are being interviewed as well. Do not think I have forgotten house rules let me give you the lay down." A few complaining groans from the male population,"NO DRINKING or staying out past eleven unless your a prefect. The older students are responisble for helping younger ones in the house with their time here. Over all your here to learn to use your powers respectively and responsibly, do not abuse your privelages of the danger room and if you are using the danger room please make sure you have an adult with you some serious injuries could occur if your not careful. Otherwise have fun and now you can leave!"

Bobby walked over to Rogue, "Hey there beautiful!"he whispered in her ear. Kitty looked back to see if Rogue was going to join the group of girls for girl time but seeing as how Bobby had his arms around her, she believed Rogue had other things on her mind.

Rogue turned around pressing her lips to his and both of them walking outside toward the mansion. "I believe I want to see the full extent of this mutant supressor." He stated smirking at her. She rolled her eyes, as they continued in the house up the staircase.

Rogue closed the door behind her and turning around to kiss Bobby again...they were liplocked for minutes...and minutes.

Rogue felt something in her stomach, it was an unpleasant feeling..but so familiar, she couldn't place it especially after three long happy lived months, she wasn't about to stop her current activities trying to push whatever it was aside.

Bobby felt himself strangley getting weaker and weaker, he opened his eyes and looked at Rogue, her skin was shimmering, like it did when she was..his eyes flashed but he fell pushing her away.

"OH Mah GOD!"She screamed realizing what happened. He was laying there almost dead..probably dead! She ran over to the mirror in his room praying it wasn't happening again, hoping her mutation wasn't coming back on her.

"ROGUE, BOBOY!" Logan ran in and saw Bobby laying there shaking uncontrolably and saw Rogue sitting in the floor crying and sobbing. "Hank get in here and bring your first aid kit!" He walked over to Rogue not knowing what to say and he was about to touch her...

"DON'T TOCUH MEH!!" She screamed frightfully snuggling even more in the corner of the room, "Its mah powers, theh back!" She got up without touching him and ran passed Hank as well to her own room and closed the door jumping on her bed and covering her body with a sheet, she neglected to realize the pair of dark eyes on her.

"Wow someones having touchy moments!" The girl sat down on her own bed across from rogue looking at her, "My name is Jubilee...I'm guessing your the Rogue." She examined the scared girl laying under the sheets.

"Could yah palease go to mah closet and get out mah box on top of the shelf?" Rogue asked quietly still shocked. Jubilee did as she was asked and pulled out exatly what Rogue asked her to. Black tank top with a green jacket and black gloves and black stockings to go under her mini skirt she was wearing.

Deep down she should have known it wouldn't have lasted for long, she should have known her powers would resurface and she would hurt someone...but never did she expect to hurt the one person she cared for ever so much. It hurt her as well, she didn't leave the room any that night for fear of the rumors that might fly around about her powers resurfacing. She just wanted this nightmare to end. She had heard the calling of Hank outside the door and his pleadings wanting her to let him examine her blood and DNA but she would have none of it.

It was clear that her powers weren't ever leaving her. She was deadliest mutant in the mansion if you touched her. The untouchable one...was back.

"Back off! BACK I SAY!" Kitty and Jubilee were outside the room trying to get inside fighting off several students who wanted to see Rogue. "IF YOU DON'T GET BACK I'LL FEED YOU FIREWORKS THROUGH YOUR NOSE!" Jubilee threatened some young boys who ran away.

Rogue smiled weakly watching them come in with a plate of food. "Fireworks?"

"My special powers...or ability. Sometimes when I touch things..they go boom! Into fireworks exploding everywhere, but now I got the hang of it and I can keep it from happening." she flopped down on her bed.

"How's Bobby?" Rogue asked picking up the fork.

"Well like...he's alright, not like in a coma if thats what you mean, not mad at you, he believes you and him...trying to 'do it' triggered your powers, Logan believes so too and has forbidden him to like get around you again. Man, I wish I had my father here in the mansion!" Kitty laughed sitting in a seat around the window.

"So ah'm single again. Great, once again ah almost kill mah boyfriend and have the label 'freak' attached to mah forehead." Rogue stated pushing the food away.

"Hey maybe tomorrow like Storm might let us ya know! Go out, I mean me and you are eighteen and Jubilee is nineteen and Boom Boom...we can have a girl's night out!"

Rogue smiled and nodded that sounded the best thing as for now.

Storm sat in the infirmory looking at Bobby and waiting for Hank to come out. Logan walked up beside her cigar in hands.

"I don't understand how something as powerful as that supposed antidote could just wear off. They said it was permanent!" she fussed looking at the brutish man beside her.

"What do you want me to do about it? Slash their heads and shave their arm pits?" his sarcastic comments were sharp on the knot.

"Look into it please? Ask questions after all, Warren's father was the creator. You and him might be able to find some answers but DO NOT let Rogue know."She rolled her eyes then glared at him daring him to defy her.

"Hey look I get the picture weather witch, but don't try to be intimidating about it, it doesn't suit you." He walked off toward the upper levels. Women!
