Okedokey people same old boring drill- i own nothing

btw-im using emma frost because she's the only character i know mentioned to be some sort of teacher or whatnot- and this really doesn't work with an X-Man involved


When Bobby and I had graduated from here, though we had broken up, in a rather unfortunate incident that involved him and Kitty without much clothing on, I had approached him one night about college and asked what he was thinking of doing.

"I don't know Rogue," he told me simply, "I mean I want to go and stuff but-how can I be an X-man still if I'm outta town or across the country?"

I had generally the same feeling, though after receiving the cure I had become more of a protectress of the kids- no easy feat believe me- trying to calm a mansion full of hysterical mutants with their powers going haywire during an anti-mutant attack alone?

Upon return, Logan had taken one look at his depleted alcohol stash and had known not to say a word.

How could I go to college and leave the kids? I loved the little brats and the X-Men needed me to look after them. Storm was too busy running the school, Logan only interacted with the kids to tell them to shove off, Dr McCoy was a U.N. ambassador and could only spend the occasional night at the mansion (and I'm pretty sure those nights were spent in Storm's bed). Colossus was the big scary giant with a heavy European accent, that had them calling him Frankenstein behind his back and Bobby was dating Kitty making him 'one of them' not really a positive for asserting control. I on the other hand had the 'tough-girl' image going on; don't ask me where I got that! Something to do with my former powers and friendship with Logan, so when I told them to do something they did it, but they knew that when they had a nightmare that my door was open and I was always willing to cuddle a frightened kid.

We had spoken to the other X-Men about it because it was a decision that Kitty would be facing in a couple of years too. Though I think, everyone was a little distracted by the fact that Bobby and I were able to sit next to each other without hands itching for throats. They had agreed to give it a test run and see what happened, though they requested we didn't go anywhere they couldn't reach in an emergency.

Well Bobby and I had applied for NYU, the closest place, by mutual agreement we had decided to explain we had attended a school for mutants and were both X-Men. How many essays did they get describing near death experiences on Liberty Island or Alcatraz?

The Dean had turned up at the mansion a week later asking to meet with us. He had been nervous at first but eager to welcome us to NYU, he then asked the question,

Would we be living on campus or housing nearby?

Without even looking at each other, Bobby and I had answered on campus. Despite the new friendship between Bobby, Kitty and I, I didn't think her good nature would extend to her boyfriend shacking up with his Southern Belle ex (again don't know how I got that!)

So we were accepted, we packed our bags, listened to Logan's 'What I'm gonna do to ya if I find out you've done (insert thousands of illicit behaviours here) speech' and hugged Ororo goodbye. We were barely down the street before our communicators went off and we had to rush back, some mutant peace rally under attack. They had barely even waited for Bobby to suit up before dragging him out and telling me that dinner was on the stove. I had rung the Dean that night to see what could be done, as much as I felt loyalty to the mansion, I wanted an education, I wanted to be something other than an X-Men. When Bobby had come back, I had given him the news-

School by correspondence.

Every night after dinner, Storm would put the kids to bed for me and Bobby and I would start our homework.

Not the ideal situation I admit, and the chance to go to actual lessons would be fascinating. But it was an empty promise. Not that Dr McCoy didn't live up his side of the bargain-as much as possible when you're in Switzerland talking about trade agreements anyway- but by then Emma had stepped in and firmly ruined the chance.

But I'm straying. I'll start at the beginning when she arrived at the mansion.
