Sorry this chapter took so long. I had it ready to be updated then this site wasn't working. Then I got busy and couldn't get on the computer. So in short, sorry for this long wait.

"Okay, Dr. Milbury will be right in after he is finished with another patient." The woman told Rogue with a smile. She picked up a few papers and jotted down a few things before she was about to leave.
"Ah thought it was Dr. Rao who was supposed ta give the cure?" Rogue asked the woman before she got to the door.
"With so many mutants wanting to get the Cure, he called Dr. Milbury and a few other physicians to help him." The woman answered.
"Thanks." Rogue whispered nervously.
"You're nervous?" She asked the Southern girl.
"A bit. Ah mean, half of meh wants ta get this done, but ah'm a bit scared." Rogue answered.
"You have nothing to fear. From what I've heard, it's a simple procedure and will only take less than a minute. Then, you will be normal again." The nurse said before she finally turned to leave.
Rogue stared at the door as it closed behind and she began to get a little angry with herself. She remembered Storm getting very upset when the cure had been brought up. It had made her feel guilty rushing into the room asking the teachers if there was a cure for them. It seemed she was the only one excited. Truthfully, part of her just wanted to get up and leave the room. She didn't mind the thought of being a mutant, if she didn't have cursed powers.
'Ah gotta do this. It's the only way Ah'll be able ta have a life.' She thought to herself as a man with black hair and goatee entered the room. He was very tall and looked to be in his forties or so.
"You must be Rogue?" Dr. Milbury asked.
"Ya." Rogue answered quietly as she saw the needle in his hand. She gulped as he took out an alcohol swab and brushed it across her arm.
"This will only hurt for a few seconds." He told her before injecting the needle into her arm. Rogue squeezed her eyes shut.
'Ah'm doin' this for Bobby and meh. Then he won't have ta suffer everytime Ah try ta touch him. He won't have ta watch all the other couples kiss and hold hands while he is stuck with an untouchable girl.' She thought to herself, trying to distract her from the pain shooting through her arm.
"All done, my dear." Dr. Milbury told her as he discarded the needle.
"It's done?" Rogue asked as she closely opened her eyes.
"Of course. Your mutant powers are now gone." The doctor told her before he left the room in a hurry to move onto the next patient.
Rogue slowly opened her eyes. She found herself in her room. 'Ah had that dream again.' She thought as she sat up and rubbed her head. It seemed like every other night she would relive having the cure given to her.
"Ah'm sure this will fade." She said to herself before getting out of bed and going to go look for Bobby.
"There is no way I'm doin' it." Logan growled at Ororo, who sighed.
"Logan, someone needs to do it. Warren is already busy, as am I and Hank." Ororo told him.
"Well than call the elf back here. He doesn't have ta fight, just teach." Logan said to her. He started chewing on his cigar again.
"Kurt said if we ever had an emergency to call him. This isn't an emergency. It is not like it will be that hard. Besides, the kids like you." She smiled.
"No, that's fear. I ain't babysittin' no five or six year old." Logan warned her. Ororo was about to protest when the phone rang.
"Hello, thank you for calling Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, this is Ororo Munroe." She began saying when the person on the other line started talking. "Oh, Moria. How are you?" Ororo asked with a smile.
Logan sighed as he took the cigar out of his mouth and started heading towards the door. He figured there was no use waiting for her to get off the phone. "What?" Ororo stood up. This caught Logan's attention. He turned back to see Ororo looking in shock.
"T-thank you, Moria." Ororo said before she hung up.
"Is everythin' alright, Ro?" Logan asked.
"The Professor's alive." She whispered.
Rogue sat on the couch quietly and watched her boyfriend and Kitty play pool. She noticed Piotr watching them from the corner. The Russian student kept his eyes on Kitty the entire time and would smile every time she hit a ball into a pocket.
"Ha, beat that, Bobby." Kitty laughed as she won another game. Bobby smirked at her and shook his head.
"I let you win." Bobby teased her. He went to retrieve the balls and place them back into the center of the pool table.
"Uh huh. I really doubt that." Kitty rolled her eyes at him. "I don't want to play another game. I'm tired of kicking your butt." She sighed.
"Come on, just one more game. The loser buys the other lunch tomorrow." Bobby baited her in.
Rogue raised an eyebrow at him. 'He's hitting on her.' She realized and clenched her fist.
"Okay, we'll play one more game. With one exception, Piotr plays too." Kitty said and winked at the slightly older student.
"I don't play too good." Piotr answered quietly.
"Aw, come on, Pete. It's just a little game. What are you chicken?" Bobby taunted him. Piotr narrowed his eyes at Bobby and got up from the chair he was sitting in.
"Fine, one game." Piotr told them and grabbed a pool stick.
Rogue continued to glare over at the three. She was tempted to walk up to Bobby and ask why he was flirting with Kitty. 'Ah'll talk ta him later when no one else is around.' She thought to herself.
"If y' want my opinion." She heard a male voice whisper in her ear. She glanced over to find a young man leaning slightly over the couch. He had shoulder length wavy brown hair and slightly tanned skin. His eyes were hidden beneath black sunglasses. He wore a dark navy shirt covered by a black coat that came to his knees and black pants. "I think he's gay."
"Who?" Rogue asked as she eyed the stranger. She had never seen him here before. He didn't look young enough to be a student here, but not old enough to be a teacher. She guessed he was in his early twenties by his appearance.
"De one y'r lookin' at dat pays attention to all de girls except for y'." The guy answered and came around and plopped down next to her on the couch.
"He's not gay." Rogue growled under her breath.
"And how do y' know?" The stranger asked with a smirk. Rogue scooted away to the other side of the couch.
"He's mah boyfriend." She told him.
"If he's y'r boyfriend, shouldn't he be over here, instead of there?" He asked.
"He's just playing pool with his friends." Rogue defended. In truth, she didn't know if she was trying to convince this guy or herself.
"Uh huh. I've been here for only a few days and everytime I've seen him it's with de petite fille over dere, never with y'. Y' deserve someone who will be dere for y' instead of leavin' y' by y'rself. Especially after all y' did for him." He said to her.
"How would ya know anythin' about meh or him?" Rogue asked him.
"De petite, Jubilee, told moi about de two of y'." He smiled.
'Ah should have known that.' Rogue thought. Anytime Jubilee found news about someone, she would tell the entire mansion
Bobby growled as he walked away from the pool table. Kitty had won the game. He had let her. He thought she would let him take her out, but instead she wanted Piotr to take her out. 'There goes that plan.' He huffed and walked over to Rogue.
"Hey Rogue." Bobby kissed her on the top of her head and sat down on the other side of her, ignoring the other man.
"Hi, Bobby." Rogue said in an annoyed voice.
"This sucks. I was so close to winning. Oh well, I'm sure Kitty and I will have another match some other day." Bobby said as he leaned back into the couch. Rogue got up from the couch and stormed out of the room.
"Rogue? Where are you going?" Bobby called to her.
"Y'r a dumbass." The man sitting on the other side of the couch told him.
"Who the hell are you?" Bobby sneered at the other man.
"De name's Gambit." The other man said.
"Well Gumbo, why don't you mind your own business." Bobby growled at him. He was about to get up from the couch, when a red glowing playing card was held up against his neck.
"Here's a little warnin' for y'. When y' try to cheat on y'r girlfriend in front of her, she's gonna notice." Gambit warned and drew back the card and left the room.
Bobby glared at the door that Gambit left. "I'm really afraid. Rogue wouldn't leave me." He said confidently.
"Thank you, come again." A woman with black hair said to her last customer. Finally the long line ended. 'This is beneath me.' The woman thought as her boss came up to her.
"Raven, we've been getting complaints about you." Her boss said.
"I didn't do anything." Raven snarled at him.
"And that's another thing, I'm sick of your attitude." Her boss yelled.
Raven tuned her boss out as he continued on his rampage. Her fingers tabbed the side of her desk waiting for him to end. "What do you have to say for yourself?" Her boss shouted.
"I don't care." Raven answered. Her voice had changed. Her boss started backing away from her.
"Y-y-your eyes!" He shouted. Raven looked at a glass window near her and saw her eyes had changed back to yellow and her dark hair returning to red. A smile appeared on her face as her skin shifted to blue once more.
"Actually, I do have one thing to say." Mystique said as she kicked her boss in the face, sending him into a computer. "I quit."
