I told you I'd update quickly! I'm finished through chapter five, so they'll be up shortly too. PS: I'm not that good at fillers, so the action comes quite oftenly throughout my story. I'm not completely sure where I'm taking this either, so ideas are always welcome!

Chapter 2: The Rogue

A man that looked insanely like a lion walked in, growling, in his tiered up leather cloak and long, golden and filthy hair hanging down his shoulders and onto his bare muscular chest. Hadn't it been for the fact that he was dirty and snarling, he could have been considered attractive. His jet-black eyes roamed the cart before stopping on the woman with the white bangs. She tried to duck her face down into her black turtleneck, to somewhat hide her face, but she couldn't hide the white streams of hair that looked like her most personal trait.

The lion-man took two long strides and as he grabbed a hold on the auburn haired women's arm, he pushed me off my seat, and I landed hard on the floor. The pain that shot up my spine fired up my rage and I got back up of the floor, anger sprayed across my face.

The auburn-haired woman had taken her glove of and was trying to press her palm to the lion-man's skin, but every time she got close, the lion-man forced her hand away from him. He was pretty distracted by that, so I did what I had done in the orphanage yesterday. I snapped.

I felt the energy flowing into me from all the powersorces in the cabin. This time though, I managed to pinpoint what the energy was coming from. There were 15 cell phones, 10 laptops, several electronic watches and the subway itself. I let myself become a part of it; I let it flow through my body.

My concentration was broken when the auburn-haired woman was thrown at me, and knocked me against the metal door of the cabin. As her hand touched mine, I felt my life force and energy become sucked out of me, but what I lost was quickly replaced with new from the electrical devices around me. The auburn haired woman took her hand away from my skin and looked at me wide-eyed. However, before we could do anything else, the lion-man grabbed a hold of her shoulders and growled at her.

-"Don't try to drain me, you know that will take a bit more power then that", he said with a hoarse and dry voice.

-"Well, then don't try to kidnap me, Sabretooth", she sneered his name with a southern accent, and glared at him.

-"I do as I please," he glared back at her, and tried to tie her hands with a piece of rope. The surrounding crowd had stopped screaming, and had run out into the next cart. The only three people left were Sabretooth, the auburn haired woman Rogue, and I.

I got up from the floor once again, and charged the energy I had collected. I gathered it in my hands, and sent it towards the lion-man's back. The second the electricity hit him, he let go of the woman, and started writhing and screaming in pain. I just stood there, stunned at my own handy work.

The woman, Rogue, stared at him for a second, before placing her stare on me. It took me a minute to notice her looking at me, but when I did, she didn't look frightened like I did. She looked like she was measuring me.

-"Did you just see that? Did you see what I did to that man...?" I stuttered the words, freaked out.

-"Yeah, I did. It was actually not half-bad. Thank you for helping me. And my name is Rogue, by the way", the woman said in her southern drawl, extending a glove-clothed hand.

-"Amelia," I said, shaking her hand.

-"Are you a mutant?" I asked hopefully, but slightly surprised by my own unsubtle.

-"Yeah, I am. And so is he", Rogue replied, pointing to the heap of hair and leather, still tremoring from the 10.000wolt shock he just received.

-"I think I am too," I said. I heard my own voice crack, and I knew she had too.

Rogue looked at my bag and the way I was dressed and frowned.

-"From the display of powers you just showed, I would say yes. And from the way you look, I'm guessing that your parents saw you using your powers, and they either disowned you, or you ran way."

I think I looked a little fragile when I replied, but I quickly replaced that face of a young girl, with the strong face of the young woman I was.

-"No actually, my parents died right after I was born. I ran way from the orphanage I was raised in for the safety of the residents. I don't want them to get hurt just because I can't control my powers when I'm angry", I said sternly, hoping that she'd just accept the truth, and not dig any deeper. I wasn't ready to share anything else with a complete stranger.

-"You've got guts, good. You'll need that if you're going to survive out here. Where are you going, anyway? You seem like the kind of girl that doesn't just do things without a plan." Rogue sat down on one of the seats, and pushed her bangs away from her face.

-"I'm going to Xavier's school for gifted youngsters," I said, and fished out a pamphlet from my bag. "It says here that if you've got some gifts you don't really understand, that you're welcome there", I continued and sighed. "I guess that's 'uptown-talk' for mutant school." I sat down on the seat opposite hers and put my book and Ipod back into my bag

-"Good choice, Professor X will help you. And I bet Logan is ready for some new meat," she said and laughed. I frowned and looked at her.

-"You've been at that place before?" I asked.

-"Sugah, I live and work there."
