Rogue

I was stunned speechless when I saw who opened the door. The man towering over me looked clean cut and professional as he wore dark trousers and a light blue buttoned up shirt underneath a stark white coat.

He was gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous, in a yuppie vanilla way.

"I am he," the sexy blond angel answered. God he was beautiful. I felt my face heating and my heart accelerating. Unfortunately there was no sense getting all riled up. It would never work out even if I wanted it to. Everyone who touched my skin too long found themselves either dead or in a coma. I literally drained the life-force out of every living thing I touched. Wait a minute. "Are you serious? The Dr. Cullen I'm lookin' for should be almost eighty years old."

The yuppie angel before me remained calm which made me feel like an idiot for my outburst. He gave a little smile and explained. "And even older than that Miss Marie, please come inside" he motioned for me to enter.

Oh of course. He's some sort of mutant that can stop aging, like Logan. Missing the fact that he knew my name I nodded and introduced myself. "Names Anna-Marie. But I go by the name Rogue." I extended my hand.

He seemed a bit nervous and stared at my hand for a second before reaching for it and I was immediately shocked by how cold he was, even through my gloved hand. A pleasant shiver ran down my spine and I knew it had nothing to do with the cold. He seemed to have felt it too and gave me a nervous smile. I however grinned seductively and let my hand linger in his.

Dr. Cullen made a sound to clear his throat and motioned for me to come inside. Down girl. You only like bad boys remember.

I followed him inside his mansion to a seating area where I was once again shocked by the site of that strange boy from school sitting indifferently his chair with a blasé expression on his face.

The voice of Bella gasped in my mind and I did too. "You? What are you doin' here" I demanded.

The boy only rolled his eyes. "He's my son." Carlisle explained. "Edward, meet Anna-Marie."

"It's Rogue" I grumbled. I could tell this boy was going to get on my nerves.

"You can discuss anything with me in front of him I assure you Rogue" Carlisle explained soothingly.

When we were all seated I gathered all the courage I had and explained what I was doing there. "Professor X told me about you and well…I..um"

Carlisle features remained calm. "How is Xavier?" he inquired.

"Um…he died a year ago. I'm sorry" He frowned but remained cool on the exterior so I continued. "Let me start from the beginning. I have this power you see. I inadvertently drain any living thing that touches my skin. If I touch someone I absorb them into myself, taking on their memories and their abilities." I paused to gage their reactions.

The Edward boy looked gobsmacked while Carlisle looked empathetic. "I'm sorry to hear that. Life must have been extremely difficult for you."

I snorted. "Yeah I put the first boy I ever kissed in a coma" I replied ruefully. Edward was once again shocked and Carlisle's expression was difficult to read. He looked somewhat…jealous?

"Anyway," I continued. "It's been difficult but Xavier took me in and taught me how to live with it. I still can kill people if I touch them but he taught me how to handle their powers once their in me and suppress their voices in my mind. But…well a couple months ago I had an accident and touched a girl without thinking…she ended up in a coma."

"Bella Swan," Edward stated and I nodded. I didn't even want to know how he knew that.

"Yes. I...know I can just suppress her- lock her away with the others but I can't bring myself to do that. This girl never meant me any harm and if there's a way to save her before has severe brain damage…"

"You want to know if you can release her psyche back into her own body?" Carlisle asked. I nodded slowly. "And you came to me because you thought I could do that" he inquired gently.

"Gene was the only other person I knew with physic abilities and I figured since you worked with Xavier developing his you might know something…"

He didn't speak but somehow his presence was so reassuring. I suddenly felt like everything would be alright- like he would take care of everything. "My…son Edward has an ability much like Xavier's. He can read thoughts. Perhaps there is a way to transfer her back into her body" He was now in scientist mode. I could see his mind running over all the possibilities.

I turned to Edward and I'm not going to lie, I was a little disconcerted by the fact he could read my thoughts. Especially where Carlisle was involved. Edward snorted. "Hey get outa my mind kid," I shouted.

He rolled his eyes. "'Kid' I don't think so. How old are you anyway."

The question seemed to bring Carlisle out of his thoughts and he seemed eager to hear my answer as well. "21" I lied.

"You're 19" Edward announced. Calling my bluff.

"Fine 20" I huffed and gave a conceding sigh.

"19" He pressed even more forcefully.

"You really are startin' to bug me" I hissed. I could feel my temper boiling and my hand was beginning to become charged with energy.

"Children" Carlisle warned authoritatively. Edward looked indignant and I pouted. Oh great now he sees me as a child.

"Carlisle I'm hardly a child" Edward scoffed and Carlisle wearily apologized.

Oh hell no. Being from Mississippi I was raised a lot differently. "Mr. Cullen I know you're not going let your son talk to you like that." The words busted from my mouth and Carlisle looked a bit taken aback while Edward stifled a laugh. "If I was your parent I'd teach you a lesson about that smart mouth of yours"

Edward rolled his eyes and Carlisle appeared very amused. "You're barely two years older than me." "And I'm old enough to be your great grandfather" I thought I heard him say under his breath.

A great deal of Wolverine still remained in me which gave me a very short temper and at the moment I was pissed. "That's it. I'm about to teach you a lesson about respect." Edward was on his feet in a defensive stance and without thinking I was on mine…so to speak. I was actually flying several inches above the floor. My hands were charged with Gambit's kinetic energy while Storms strong powers pulsed through me. The result; my angry possessed, flying figure with white irises and a lightening storm outside. I was pretty sure I looked somthin' fierce.

Carlisle and Edward's eyes widened. "Wow" they uttered simultaneously.

"That's more like it" I huffed as let myself drop down to the floor. Outside the faint sunshine returned and I sat calmly as if nothing had happened.

"Holy shit I've seen a lot of things in my life but that was awesome" A loud voice boomed. The four students from school shyly crept into the room.

Holy cow I didn't know I had an audience.

Carlisle held a tight smile as if embarrassed by his children then introduced them to me. "I'm sorry for the intrusion. These are the rest of my children; Emmet, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper. They each waved at me and I was dumbfounded.

"My my Mr. Cullen you have been keeping yourself busy haven't you."

The little one, Alice giggled. "Hardly." Carlisle looked as if he wanted to blush but didn't. "We're his adopted children." She explained.

"Is this all of you" I pried quite shamelessly.

The blond boy next to Alice gave me a knowing smile. "Yes this is all of us" He drawled in his southern accent. I had a feeling he and I would be friends but for the rest of the day he, Jasper, actually avoided me like the plague. I guess not every southerner had southern hospitality.

"Rogue I am more than happy to assist you but I cannot do it without Edward." I groaned. "Right now I must excuse myself for work. Do you have a place to stay" Carlisle asked.

I shook my head. "Does a hotel count?"

"Well then you're more than welcome to stay here if you like. That way we can utilize more time." He added quickly.

Edward, Rosalie, and Jasper groaned. Alice and Emmett were the only ones who seemed thrilled at the idea. I knew what Edward's problem was and I figured that Rosalie was just a bitch. But I couldn't quite figure out what I'd done to upset Jasper. "Thank you. I'd love to stay with you…I mean at your house."

Carlisle

For the rest of the night I thought of Rogue non stop. In all my 300 years no human had ever called to me like she had. I could ignore her tauntingly delicious smelling blood but was unhinged at the sound of her velvety voice and curvaceous body.

A horrible thought hit me. I had left Rogue alone in a house full of vampires. What was I thinking? Jasper wasn't strong enough to handle that. And even if he was she's bound to find out soon enough.

PAGING DR. CULLEN. The voice on the intercom rang. I went to the front to see who was paging me. "You have a family emergency" the nurse explained and handed me a phone. Oh God. Please let Rogue be alive. I gulped and took the phone.

"Hello?"

"Carlisle I need you to come home…Now" Edward rasped on the other line.

"What is it?"

"It's Rogue. Jasper…" The phone dropped to the floor and I bolted through the doors. Not caring who saw me I sped past my car and into the forest where I could travel through the woods at advanced speeds unseen. I didn't stop until I was home. Ten minutes later I busted through the doors still wearing my coat with a stethoscope draped around my neck.

"What happened?" I breathed.

Jasper's POV

Rogue's blood called to me as I stalked into the kitchen unnoticed. She had her back to me and was fixing herself a sandwich. She was humming a familiar song that I remembered as a in my human confederate days. She was so close. No one would notice her scream.

Moving quickly I silently snuck up to her and grabbed her from behind. Before she could respond I positioned my teeth above her jugular.

"Jasper No" Alice screamed then threw her petite frame at me. Silly woman.

Rogue shrieked and fell to the ground. "Get away Alice. Her blood is mine" I growled and charged at her.

"Oh hell no" Rogue growled then charged at me, meeting me midair. I was shocked at her strength when she grabbed me and threw me towards the wall then levitated toward my crumpled body. "You just messed with the wrong chick" she rasped menacingly.

Carlisle

When I entered the house I was stunned to find my entire family cowering against a wall. Outside it was pouring rain and there were lightning bolts ripping through my house. As my eyes searched theirs for an explanation Alice pointed with a quivering finger and I turned to see who she was indicating.

I gasped. Rogue was levitating while shooting lighting bolts from her fingers. Her hair was whipping around her face and she looked like the most ferocious think I'd ever seen in my life. Behind her the symbol of a phoenix formed of fire and cawed as it moved around her. "How dare you. You will submit to the mighty phoenix" She bellowed in a voice that was not her own.

I cleared my throat. "Rogue could you please release my children" I asked calmly.

The phoenix disappeared the moment we locked eyes and she gasped and fell towards the ground. I rushed forward and caught her before she could fall. No one moved and I waited for her to respond.

"I..is it safe" Alice's weak voice whispered.

Rogue's eyes fluttered open and her green orbs greeted mine. "Hey handsome" She rasped in her throaty voice. Dear God she's beautiful.

Everyone else stood up from their cowered positions. "What did you do to her" I demanded. My voice was uncharacteristically angry.

"What?" Emmett protested. "Did you not see what just happened? We called you here to help us"

"Jasper over here tried to bite her then she went all exorcist on us" Rose explained as she straightened her clothing indignantly as if she weren't cowering on the floor moments ago.

"You're touching me" Rogue murmured in my arms and I pulled her closer to me. "Why aren't you passed out?'

I sighed. This was going to be a very long night. "Rogue there is something I must tell you about my family" Collecting groans rang around the room.

Rogue

B- First mutant now VAMPIRES. What next? Werewolves?.

Edward laughed at Bella's thought and I didn't bother ask him to get out of my head.

"So you all are vampires" I kept muttering over and over. I really had nothing else to say. Mutants were weird enough but vampires were unbelievable. Carlisle had assured me over and over that they only drank animal blood and Jaspers mistake wouldn't happen again but I was already sure of that. I whipped them all so good they wouldn't dare try to drink my blood.

Edward rolled his eyes. "Hardly" I touched his chair with my charged hand and he jumped up with a shriek. Everyone erupted in laughter. "You know I like your other personality Bella better" He muttered.

B- Really?

R- Ah hush. I rolled my eyes.

"So um…does that mean I can't kill ya if I touch your skin?" I asked weakly.

The good Dr. nodded and I couldn't fight the huge grin I knew was forming on my face. Things were looking better and better.

Rosalie and Edward snorted while Carlisle had the remarkable look of a man who knows he's got heap of trouble on his hands.

Oh yeah Dr. Cullen was in a heap of trouble if I have anything to do with it.

The spell was broken by that annoying Edward's voice. "Sorry to be the voice of reason here but we just revealed who we are to you and you've yet to tell us what you did to Bella Swan."

Now it was my turn to groan. Why did I think I could get away with not telling them that?

AN: So the next chapter goes into exactly what happened to Bella.

Leave some feedback.

Thanks.
