Changes

It was hard to believe to anyone in the mansion that Rogue herself would have taken the cure, as pathetic as many of the mansions in habitants thought she was for walking around mopping because she could touch anyone she would've liked to have seen them in her shoes for as many years as she had been unable to touch anyone. She couldn't seem to remember any touch other then the first time she'd kissed her boyfriend and put him into a coma for three weeks. And still after so many years just like she'd told Logan the night he'd come for her at the train station she could still feel him inside of her head. No matter how much his memory faded away there would almost be some part of her that could still feel him there in the back of her mind. There were three separate entities that made up Rogue. The first was David the first boy she'd ever kissed he'd helped her little in the beginning she hadn't been able to subdue his voice inside of her calling her mutant trash. Then there was Logan or the Wolverine she'd taken so much of him inside of her that growling even now after he'd stabbed her and him saving her at Liberty Island that had been years ago he still dominated a part of her mind and switching on and off into her personality had become like second nature to her. He'd saved her in more ways than one. He helped to quiet the other two entities inside of her the other being Magneto in many ways he'd also helped her become stronger but none that she could ever name right of the tip of her tongue but Logan or Wolverine was the one voice inside of her head that she listened to he was a part of her, but she seemed to be the only one who thought that she'd told Logan that once and he'd seemed to understand but she felt embarrassed afterwards Rogue had hoped that after telling him that he might stop calling her kid. She got so damned frustrated with him sometimes she was almost twenty-two years old and he still called her kid, didn't he see the way she looked at him sometimes when she didn't realize that he was watching. Didn't he know that in her eyes he'd hung the moon and stars? She guessed that he didn't.

But now Rogue was faced with a completely different dilemma she was human now after taking the cure. Logan had been most concerned that Rogue go it for herself and not for anyone else truthfully she'd done it to keep Bobby, but as fate always had a wicked since of humor after all she'd gone through just to be able to make the simplest touch he'd still fallen in love with Kitty she couldn't blame him but Kitty was one of her best friends and they had repeatedly apologized and she had of course being the humble little Rogue had forgiven them and went on with them being friends as if none of it had ever happened.

Well she couldn't stand it anymore, some of the students who had taken the cure had come back to the mansion for a brief time only to realize that they didn't belong there anymore. Of course they had not left there friends behind many students often came back for visits but they never staid for very long they had new lives everyone did. All the students she'd gone to school with here had grown up and become there own persons. It was time that she do the same.

Rogue since gaining a Logan inside of her head often leapt of into things long before thinking them over long enough to have a plan A or B or even C she just went off doing her own thing until she realized that things were not working out the way she had thought them to in the beginning.

So after packing her things she said goodbye to all her dear friends and made her way out into the big bad world thinking that nothing could possibly hurt her now that she was a human she'd somehow forgotten just how cruel humans could be in general. Happily she'd taken the Lexus Storm had offered her and the cell phone should she have any trouble on the road. Rogue couldn't go back to her family she knew they would always see her as a mutant and the only family she had left was the X-Men no matter how many had fallen during the Phoenix's rampage. They'd lost the Professor and Scott and of course Jean was dead again. There was a whole new team almost the only last remaining original member was Storm. Now many of the students were in training to make up the new team. Logan had long since left after killing Jean everyone tried to ease her conscience by telling him that he'd done the right thing, that it was the only thing that could have been done. But his stubborn streak had kicked in full force and he wouldn't listen to reason.

Standing in the garage Storm at her side along with Bobby and Kitty they all hugged like they would never see each other again Kitty making Rogue promise to keep in touch after she had time and time again told her that this was not the end she would always come back to see her family. Bobby kept silent somewhat in a strange way Rogue knew what he was thinking Bobby thought that she was leaving because of his falling in love with Kitty but it wasn't it was plain and simple she just needed to start a new life.

Stepping in front of Storm she have her a brilliant motherly smile before pulling into her arms and holding her for a moment before letting her go and holding her shoulders.

"Now you promise, if you need anything. Anything at all you'll call right Rogue?" Storm said looking at her stern but gently.

"Yeah I promise Strom." She replied with a smile before kissing her cheek and getting into the leather upholstered Lexus and putting the key into the ignition and started on her way.
