Chapter 2

Rogue stood cornered between the huge machine and a solid brick wall, no way out. She looked around for possible help but everyone else was fighting their own fights, she looked back at the huge machine with the look of horror written out on her face. "Ahrigh' sugah, lets dance!" she smirked running and jumping upon the shoulder of the heavy metal monster. It didn't take it long before it realized she was moving on it instead of the ground. It furiously tried removing the mutant from its shoulder but no such luck came to its aid. She swiftly moved across the shoulder and behind its head before it could swipe her with its claws.

Everyone else had their own problems to deal with as of the moment. Kitty and Roberto were also in a pickle similiar to hers, only Roberto had melted its feet down while Kitty used her powers to go inside the machine and unplug it. Roberto started dodging the deadly arms as they swung narrowly missing his back.

Boom Boom and Warren were running from the smoking debri flying everywhere, trying to get over to some more mutants to help.

From atop in the control room Storm watched everyone's actions somewhat liking the ability of the newbies and somewhat dissapointed in them, hoping they would be more accomplishing then this. But no doubt in her mind they were the next generation of fighters and she would have to deal with it.

Rogue kicked the back of the metal head denting it in, she dug through her mind to find the right pysch to help her out in that moment. It was part of her mutation, the mutants she absorbed she was allowed to use their powers, which was pretty neat if you could deal with their voice in your head while you used it. She finally decided on Magneto's ability which would come in handy right about now. She focused her mind on taking the metal covering off its neck, she put her hand out to the metal slightly ever touching it watching it cringe as it peeled off like dead skin.

How dare you use my powers!Magneto's voice chimed in her head as he started mentally thrashing about.This is injustice and you call yourself a mutant!?

"Hush up metal head!"Rogue muttered to herself.

Kitty and Roberto flung themselves out of the way of danger just in time as they saw Rogue standing atop the machine using her powers or well someone's powers to help her out. "Like should we go help her?" she asked dusting herself off and kept running.

Roberto nodded and they joined Rogue.

Wolverine stood admist it all watching, not really helping them what so ever. He didn't believe in going soft, each session of the danger room he chose and let them fight it out. Sure he'd come in just to make sure everything was smooth but he never helped unless someone was seriously injured.

"Ahmost there.."Rogue stated looking for the central control switch in the machine. She looked to her side just to see Kitty standing there beside her. "Kit get outta here! Yah could get hurt!" she turned back reaching for the switch. Kitty rolled her eyes and helped, they both pulled the lever down watching as it switched off the machine.

"Like piece of cake!"Kitty smiled as the room dissovled back into a regular metal room. rogue flopped her ass down on the floor resting wiping the sweat from her forehead. Sometimes she didn't understand how Kitty stayed so cheerful.

Rogue was changed already out of the locker rooms walking toward the medical facility where Hank was with Bobby. She pulled on her gloves for extra reasurrance having a grim look on her face. She wondered about what Bobby would say if he was awake, no doubt tell her not to blame it on herself but she had to blame it on someone, so why not herself? She was stupid enough to take the injection and not think twice it wasn't permenant. And that led her to wonder about the other mutants she'd seen there as well, where they still anti-power or did theirs come back as well? Too many questions and still not enough answers.

She looked through the door at Hank, "Hey um...could Ah see Bobby for a sec?" He turned looking at her nodding allowing her permission inside the recovery room. She walked by him and into the room. At first she almost didn't regonize him in the semi darkness laying there with his eyes closed. It made her wonder if she had put him in a coma as well like Cody.

His eyes. those dark eyes fluttered open looking at her a weak smile coming across his face, "Rogue...what.."She put a gloved hand up in the air.

"Look Ah just want to say Ah'm sorry, I know it wasn't mah fault but Ah want to take responsibility. And Ah think its time we face the damn fact, there ain't no way we're evah gonna be togetha...Ah'm real sorry."She stated looking away. He didn't say anything. It was that defeaning silence that you knew wouldn't break, the silence that meant there was nothing left to say except goodbye. The silence that Rogue so desperately wanted to end but couldn't bring herself to it. She smiled vaguely and walked out not giving him anytime to stop her.

Normally if she drained someone it only took a few hours for them to heal, but something was obviously wrong because Bobby still looked ghostly white. Hank said he was okay and should be fine after a day or two but she didn't think he was telling her the truth. But thats the way it had to be, because of who she is she could never know the truth even if it meant someone she cared about dearly dying. Everyone rather keep her in the dark than let her in. She shrugged against the wall not really wanting to move.

"Stripes? You should be getting to school." Logan growled walking by her with a newspaper in his arms. She didn't look up, right now school was promising.
