Feedback: Please I love getting replies to my work. Good, bad or ugly welcome. But please if you want to tell me it sucks please give me reasons so I can try to get better.
Author's notes: This has not been beta'd. It took me a while to choose which area to put this under but I finally decided here because in later chapters the story will take place in Smallville with mostly an entire Smallville cast. I would love to know what you guys think of it so far and who do you think Rogue should become involved with; Clark, Lex, Jason or someone I haven't though of?
Chapter 1
Rogue stormed into her room and slammed the door behind her. She looked around and then opened her closet. She pulled a dark green duffel bag off the top shelf and through it on her bed. Next, she started grabbing clothes and throwing them towards the bed. Some of them made it but the rest fell short.
Knock, knock
"Go way" She yelled at the person on the other side of her door as she walked over to her dresser and opened the top drawer and pulled her underwear out. They like the rest of her clothes were thrown on her bed.
"Rogue, its Storm. Please can we talk." Storm knocked on the door again and hoped that Rogue would let her in. She didn't want to just walk in but she would if Rogue didn't open the door.
"No just leave me alone. Why can't you all just leave me alone." Rogue yelled at her as tears started sliding down her cheek. She slides down the wall and sat on the floor with her head down. She heard the door open but didn't look up. "Ah just want to be left alone." She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "Ah just want to be normal."
She looked up at Storm who was kneeling near her but still far enough way to feel safe. Seeing her there made Rogue cry harder. "Please Rogue, just tell me what happened. Why are you packing?"
"What happened? Nothing Happened. Nothing new at least. I'm just sick of it all. Everyone is afraid of me. It doesn't matter if I cover every inch of my body they're still afraid. Even you're afraid to get too close. I can't take it anymore. I can't stand to see people who are supposedly like me cringe when I walk by them. I just can't take it anymore. It would be better to live where no one knows what I am. At least then even if I can't touch them I don't have to see the fear in their eyes." She took a deep breath, wiped the tears off her face and got up. Rogue picked up the clothes that hadn't reached her bed. She started packing them away.
"Rogue, where would you go? Do you have a plan? Money? A Place to live or a way to make more money?" Storm asked as she watched the girl. "Just… Just don't go yet. Talk to the Professor. Maybe he can help you come up with a plan." Storm got up and walked to the door. "Please Rogue, you shouldn't just leave. Not with at least some idea of how you will survive." She looked at the girl waiting for a response but when she didn't get one she walked out.
Rogue sat on her bed looking down at the sweater she had been folding when Storm walked out. Maybe I should talk to Professor X. He might know of where I could go. But what if he tries to talk me out of going? But if I don't talk to him and I just leave? Where would I go? She got up and walked to her closet. She grabbed a locked box that was hidden in the corner of her closet. She opened it and pulled out her money. "500… 600… 750… 957 dollars and 54 cents. How far can I get with less then a thousand dollars" She put the money back in the box and then started pacing. I have to talk to him I don't have any choice.
Rogue walked up to Professor X's door and raised her hand to knock. She stood there and wondering if she was making the right choice. "Rogue would you like to come in?" Professor X said in her mind.
She jumped and then opened the door. "Hi Professor, I just come to tell you I'm leaving. So thanks for everything." She looked at him and tried to smile.
"Here I thought you were coming to ask if I knew anyplace you could go not just to say goodbye." He picked up the papers that were lying in front of him turning them so she could see them. "At least that was I got from Storm."
Rogue looked down at the papers. They each had a picture attached to them. "What is all this?" She picked up one of the papers and looked at the picture. It was of a nice looking house maybe two or three stories. The paper under it said Smallville, Kansas on top and then described the property. She read it but stopped when the professor spoke.
"Those are properties I own. Spread out all over the country, I buy them incase anything happens. But if you would like you can have the use of one of them. And I'll give you money for food, clothes and some for you to spend as you choose. The bills I will keep paying like I am now. Of course I do have a few conditions. You have to go to school. You will need to check in every once in a while. Probable once a week, we might make it more or less depending on how things go." He leaned closer to her and let her think about it.
She looked at him "Why would you offer this to me? If I go I won't become one of your X-men. I won't be able to pay you back. So why?"
"I am not doing it to make you owe me anything. In all truth I have been thinking for a couple of weeks now that this might be better for you. I had hoped that you could live here Rogue. To have this become your home and to help you with your powers but as the weeks have gone by I have seen how uncomfortable you and the other students are. And I think that as long as you live here your powers will always be as they are. I think if you could find a place to live were you felt safe, that you might find the key to controlling your powers. That is why I am offering this to you. Too help you and I admit to help the other children as well. I do not wish for them to feel uncomfortable in their home." He stopped talking and gave her a small smile.
"Take the papers Rogue look through them. I think you might like it there. It's a small town, friendly with a big city only a few hours."
Rogue picked up the other papers and looked though them. "Why don't you take those up to your room. Think it over and let me know what you decided. Either way I'll get your school records together so that you can take them with you. Whether that be to Smallville or to where ever it is you choose."
"Okay I guess. I'll see you later professor." Rogue said a little dazed. She really hadn't expect to get much if anything but here he was willing to give her a place to live even if it was so the others wouldn't have to live in fear. It was still more then she had ever expected.
She left his office still in a daze. She didn't know if she would take him open on his offer or not. She would have to think about it.
Let me know what you think and who should she met when she first gets to Smallville
