A/N- Thank you very much for the reviews, make me very happy and quick to update. The cuteness level of Romyness in this chapter, I feel like skyrockets, its very flirty from the Cajun side of things, with the usual fierce Rogue rebuttals. Gotta love it :D.

I've been trying to edit this is the fanfiction edit thingamabob but it just keeps coming up all funky and different on the web page. So I do actually have paragraphs and change scene things. But not matter how much i try they just don't stick. I'm so over trying to re do it 5 times with no result. Any help would be fantastic. Okay I just added the XxX's so hopefully that works. fingers crossed.

enjoy!

'Now Rogue, I'd like you to concentrate on Logan's powers, specifically his regenerative healing', said Professor Xavier from his wheelchair as he sat in front of his new student.

It was their first session together. The aim was to help Rogue gain control over her recall of the powers she had previously absorbed from other mutants.

Rogue sat in a large armchair cross-legged, her hands resting gently on her knees. She held her eyes shut, trying to remember the breathing pattern the Professor had just explained to her.

Inhale, hold and release slowly. She was feeling more relaxed, she thought as she allowed her thoughts to wonder. Her mind drifted away from the gentle voice of the Professor. She started to think about the mansion and her new friends, particularly one attractive male. She felt her heart beat quicken, what was with that she thought, he wasn't that good looking, well okay maybe just a tiny little bit.

'ROGUE!', yelled the professor, his voice broke her chain of thought and brought her back to reality.

'What?', she asked a little surprised at the professor, she was just a little distracted. She didn't feel that warranted him to yell at her.

She looked at the professor, to see him staring at her hands and what they were touching. Her once dark blue denim jeans, were now glowing a bright fuscia pink colour.

'Oh, oops', she said a little embarrassed at her slip up, she hadn't realized she had let her emotions get out of control.

She closed her eyes once again and continued her breathing routine, trying to block out her thoughts, until she felt the draw of Gambit's power release and slowly her jeans returned to their usual colour.

'Okay, good Rogue. But I do remember asking you to focus on Logan's powers, not Remy's', he said with a slight hint of good humored sarcasm in his tone of voice.

'Ah know, sorry professor, I just started driftin' off thinking about all the great people ah met since ah came here', she said, trying avoid the situation of Gambit.

'I understand Rogue, that your life has changed dramatically over the last few days here at the institute. But I thought that if you could learn to control Logan's healing ability, that you might be able to join the others in the Danger room for this afternoon's training session', said the Professor, having previously sensed her deep desire to join the others.

They had been telling her all about the sessions, and she had been dying to join them. It was just her injuries well still so new, that she'd have to wait weeks to heal naturally.

'Oh okay, ah didn't even th'nk of that mayself', she said mentally slapped her forward. How dumb could she be, she thought. Logan could heal, so could she if she actually listened to what the professor had been saying.

'Okay, ah'm trying again this time professor, this time ah might actually try concentrating a lil more', she said with a smile.

The professor made no comment, towards her lack of concentration, he could sense the feelings between her and Remy.

Rogue wiggled in her chair, trying to find a new comfortable position. She placed her hands back on her knees and closed her eyes and begun the breathing technique again.

She wasn't sure how long she sat there, her mind void of any conscious thought. She felt slightly disconnected from her body, it felt like she was sitting inside her head. She opened her eyes slightly to take a peek.

It was black, pitch black. She looked down, she was sitting on nothing, her chair was gone. Leaving only a void of black as far as she could see below her. Logan she thought, I have to find Logan. Out of the darkness before her, light came into view. She walked towards it, but it more like she was floating as her legs moved, as they never touched a thing. As she got closer, she noticed the snow. It fell in torrents, it was a small snow storm. She was outdoors, in a place similar to the senario she had walked into, in the Danger room the other day. She was surrounded by pine trees, all thickly covered in snow. She should be cold she thought as she looked down at her bare arms and her singlet top. She looked around at her surroundings unsure of what this place meant to her. It was then that out of the forest appeared a lone Grey wolf. It blue eyes piercing her own. It walked straight up to her, coming to a halt at her feet as it sat back. She closed her eyes and reached out her injured hand to touch its head, and she felt an incredible warm bright light engulf her body.

As she slowly opened her eyes, she found herself back in Professor Xavier office, still sitting in the armchair.

She felt good, great actually. Probably better that she'd ever felt before. The pain in her wrist was gone, she reached up her left gauze covered wrist to the side of her face, the brusie was gone. As though it was never there to begin with.

'Well done Rogue, that was a fantastic start. We should keep working at it though', he said before handing her a tissue.

'Whats the tissue for?', she asked as she held it in her hand.

He pointed up at her nose, she wiped it against up upper lip and nostrils, she pulled it back to reveal a small amount of blood.

'Oh', she said a little confused at its appearance, she felt great.

'It seems that although you can control Logan's healing ability with concentration, that it still takes a lot out of you to bring it to the surface', he said sensing her confusion.

'Hopefully as I help you, It should become easier', he continued reassuringly.

'That's great professor, Thank you for all your help, especially for letting me stay', she said feeling the need to thank him for maybe the 5th time.

'I assure you Rogue, that anyone in need is welcome to stay. Plus some of the staff and students have already grown attached to you', he said with a chuckle. Knowing more than he was letting on.

He began to wheel his chair back behind his desk.

'But, moving on. You should be able to start training with the others this afternoon in the Danger room, I think Scott's taking the weekend sessions. With Logan taking the morning weekday sessions with Storm.' he said as he went through his draw searching through various papers.

'I was wondering though If you would be interested in maybe teaching a class or two, with some of the younger students', he asked as he finally found the papers he was looking for.

'O course Professor, Ah'd be more than happy to help', she said eager to give back.

'Well it is a couple of weeks still the new term begins, but I'm still organizing out the classes', he said as he laid the papers out in front of him on the desk.

'Let see..' he said.

'I've got Jean teaching Chemistry and Biology.

Scott's teaching Ethics and English.

Beast is teaching Maths and Physics

Logan's teaching Physical Education and Auto shop.

Gambit's teaching French and Home Economics.

Rogue had to try hard to internally stifle a laugh at the thought of Remy teaching cooking classes, she'd be suprised if he knew how to work a microwave.

So that still leaves History and Driver Ed'. He said as he looked back up at her.

'Can you drive?' he asked.

'Yeh I remember, but I don't have mah license since I don' even know mah real nahme', she said slightly depressed.

'I should be able to work something out with a contact at the DMV. You said though that you remember staying with someone called Irene, before they took you?', he inquired.

'Yeh but, most of its pretty vague. Sumthimes Ah remember bits, like with Cody but I think she used to call meh Rogue, like a nickname.' she said unsure of where the Professor was going with his questions.

'I might have someone look into it, go through adoption files in Mississippi judging from your accent'. he said warmly.

'Ah'm not the one with the accent' she joked ' It's all you New York-ians', she laughed.

'I supposed we do all seem to have some sort of accent', he agreed. ' I 'll have someone look into it and let you know what I find out'.

'Okay thanks Professor, Ah'll see ya later', she said as she left the room.

'So like how'd it go with the Professor', asked Kitty as soon as she walked into their room.

Kitty was sitting on her bed her back against the wall, having just put down the romance novel she'd been reading, a headphone from her pink ipod still dangling from her ear.

'It was actually pretty good', said Rogue as just flung herself to land on Kitty's bed, pictures cut out from magazines fluttered into the air as she landed.

'Hey!, your messing up my pictures' said Kitty trying to appear angry, an emotion she just didn't posses.

Rogue picked one up that had landed in her hair, it was of George Clooney.

'Pickin' out new boyfriends Kit?', she teased as Kitty tried to grab the picture from her hand.

She'd been cutting them out to add to her wall, which was drastically running out of space she thought. She glanced at Rogues walls, I wonder if she'd let me use some of her space.

Kitty was drawn from her thoughts as she saw Rogue imitating Kitty making out with the poster of Orlando Bloom.

'Oh hey I do not make out with my poster's', said Kitty laughing.

'Then what were you doing this morning when I got out of the bathroom?' asked Rogue, knowing full well she'd seen Kitty doing it this morning.

'I ah, oh shut up', said Kitty before throwing her pink fluffy cushion directly at Rogues head, knocking her off the bed.

'Oh nice, throwing stuff at an injured girl', said Rogue as she stood up, her voice lined with sarcasm.

'Your bruise is gone, you can't pull that on me', she retorted, grabbing another pillow of her bed, as she sat up on her knees on her bed, her ipod discarded next to her.

'Oh well then try this on for size', said Rogue as she flung a pillow at Kitty.

It phased right through her.

'Oh hey that is so not fair! You already got me, no powers girl!', said Rogue as she flung another pillow at Kitty, who had gotten up and was running away from her just as the door opened.

Remy knocked but heard no answer, the girsl were yelling at each other inside.

'Maybee' a lil menage a trois eh?', he said to himself with a chuckle as he turned the door knob.

He received a pillow straight to the face that caught him off guard knocking him flat on his arse.

He pulled the offensive object off his face to see Rogue staring at him, slightly embarrassed.

Her faced though changed to that of a smile as she burst into laughter at the sight of Remy, sitting on the ground, blow his hair out of his eyes, in a bit of a huff.

Kitty looked down at him from behind the door, and couldn't help but join Rogue in her giggles.

'Oh you going to pay for dat chere', he said as he jumped to his feet, pillow in hand.

'Oh come on swamp rat, it was ahn accident ah swear', she said as she backed up her hands held up in defense.

He might have believed her, except she was still trying to stifle her laughter from moments ago.

He lunged at her with the pillow and she reacted just as quick, grabbing Kitty's fluffy pink monstrosity off the floor to protect her self.

He hit her like a tonne of bricks, or a mac truck. She wasn't quite sure which one it most resembled. Either way, he was strong.

They landed on her bed, the pillows had become useless at such close quaters.

Remy had resorted to dirty tactics; tickling.

He tickled her at the point were her neck met her shoulder and she burst into laughter, tears briming in her eyes as she tried to contain it.

'No-t fair - you-r strong'r haha than m-e'. she manage to say between fits of laughter.

Kitty still stood by the door, watching the two of them roll around on her bed. It was almost like a bad teen romance novel come to life she mused.

'Jeeze, get a room much, you too', said Kitty rolling her eyes.

'Maybe she right non, what you think?' Remy said wagging his eyebrows at Rogue

'I think a certain cajun ah know, is askin for a knuckle sandwich', said Rogue as she raised her fist, trying to look fierce.

'I be shakin in me boots', he quipped, a smile wide across his face. She was just too cute when she was mad.

The were interrupted from their standoff, when Jean sent a mental message through their minds.

'Danger room session, in 5 minutes. Don't be late, Scott's already in a bad mood', Even mentally Jean sounded exasperated.

'Maybe next time Gambit', Rogue said as she got off the bed.

'That be next time to the knuckle sandwich or us gettin' a room?' he whispered in her ear, as he follow her to the door.

He never got his answer as she shoved him out the door and into the corridor slamming it shut.

Kitty then fell through the door promptly after him.

'Like nice one Gambit', she said before she headed off in the direction of the danger room.

'What I do? Everybody loves Gambit?' ,he said as he followed Kitty. His coat tails flapping againts his boots as he walked.

'Okay, were going to get Rogue to go first, doing the primary level one training scenario. So we can gauge her fitness levels, and then maybe do a sparring scenario. And then finish off with a group activity.' said Scott standing in front of the group in the control room. Rogue was already down in the danger room, waiting to start.

Remy had quickly grabbed a choice viewing seat with the best view of the Danger room below, he even had a screen in front of him that was training to follow her motions.

What I wouldn't give to be those mats he though as he watched her. She had her hair up in a ponytail, but had changed from her jeans and tank, into a pair of shorts, with runners and a tight t-shirt. For her in was comfortable, for him it was sexy. He nearly lost his mind when he she bent over to stretch her back and arms as she warmed up.

'Mon duie, think un-sexy thoughts', he muttered to himself.

'What was that Remy?', asked Jean, having felt his emotions projected quite obviously.

'Nothin', he replied just a little to quickly.

Merde, he thought, I just had to think that with a telepath around. You should know better than that Remy, he berated himself as he concentrated on raising his mental shields again.

'Okay Rogue, this is just to test your fitness levels, so just take do your best, don't worry if you can't complete the whole course,' said Scott into the microphone. Knowing too well that only a handful of students had been able to complete the course without powers. And some who'd done it using only their powers alone. He thought as he looked at Kitty.

'What's that look for, are you seriously still mad about when I did the course for the first time?', asked Kitty as she caught Scott's disapproving look.

'No one said anything about no powers to me, its not my fault I totally rocked by phasing jeez, just coz I broke your record,' she giggled as she tightened pigtails.

'Whatever', he muttered. ' Begin training scenario 001', he said into the mic. The computers kicked into life.

Below on the danger room floor, Rogue stood and watched as the Danger room went from the normal plain steel, to that of an everyday school gym. It was layed out like an obstacle course. There were balance beams, various mats, vault boards, a pit full of foam with a rope above, monkey bars and a wall to climb over.

Lucky for Rogue, she had been very athletic as a child, bordering on tomboyish at times. The only thing holding her back from being full blown, had been her love of gymnastics.

'Now the aim is to finish the course as quickly as possible, but also to score points. So for example, at the mats, the more tricks I guess that you can do, the more points you get. Or at the balance beams or vault, If you can do a flip, or climb the rope with only your hands you score higher. But I wouldn't worry about it too much, it takes a few times on the course before you get to that sort of level'. said Scott from the control room.

'Ready?' he asked.

'Yeah, ah'll my life'. The last bit was under her breathe so no one heard her.

'Okay, go!' said Scott as he set the timer.

Rogue ran at the balance beam, and jumped up onto it without a second glance. She put her hands up in the air, just liked she'd always done in gymnastics class. She placed her hands down on the beam, as her legs swung up until they were vertical in the air, she then slowly let them continue forward and let go of her grip of the beam, one hand at a time until she was standing on the beam again.

She then slid down into the splits along the beam. She quickly jumped back up again, and turned around so she faced the way she'd came before doing a back flip. Her arms bent back and gripped the beam, she pushed up and let her legs flip over. Nver once losing her footing.She jumped off the end of the beam and progressed over to the mats.

She gave herself a little bit of run up space, before she launched her self into 3 cartwheels that ended with a round off. Next up was the vault horse. Too easy she thought, it had always been on of her favorites. At times it felt like she was almost flying. Once again she ran up, jumped on the spring board, both hands lightly touching the vault horse before landing straight up on the large cushy matt behind it.

She proceeded on to the rope, she knew she wasn't the strongest girl, but she could do alright. It took her a little longer than she'd expected, but at least she managed to get and down without falling into the foam below. It seemed liked she'd been in course of ages she thought as she approached the monkey bars, she went through them four at a time. He hands hurting a little as the skin rubbed against the metal.

Next and the very last, was the wall. It was wooden, with small peices nailed on to grabbed onto with her hnads and feet. It barely fazed her. And she was over in a matter of seconds.

'Scenario 1 training complete' the computers voice reverberating through out the Danger room as the gym setting disolved and it returned to it's usual appearance, leaving only a slightly sweaty Rogue in the middle.

She heard the door open to find Bobby walking through.

'Well done Rogue, I'm guessing gymnastics wasn't anything new to you by the looks of things' said Scott from the control room.

'Nah, I just been doin it for a wahile' she said, proud of her achievement.

'Have you ever done any sparring before?' asked Scott.

'Nah Ah haven't' she replied, wiping the sweat from her head onto her shirt.

'Thats alright, Bobby will go easy on you', Scott reassured her.

'Computer sparring scenario 002', he said once again voice activating the computer.

This time the danger room had become a simple room with mats on the floor.

She wish she hadn't tried so hard on the training scenario, she felt so tired. Her head felt foggy and dizzy.

'Okay Im going to start off slow, so just try an get a feel for it I guess', said Bobby as he got into a fighting stance.

It looked familiar she thought, but not to her.

X

X

Bobby took up his stance, as he watched Rogue, he noticed her seeming a little strange.

Her face went from one of tiredness to being full alert. It was strange. Her hair even seemed a little different, maybe it was the light but she seemed almost blond.

He watched as she took up a similar stance to his.

'Begin', could be heard from Scott up in the control room.

Bobby barely had time to think as Rogue launched herself at him. Her arms and legs became a blur or movement as she attacked him. Bobby was fairly good at sparing and he was struggling to keep up. She got in a punch at his chest and a kick in his side.

But just as fast as she'd started, she stopped. She was kneeling on the group her arms straight with the hands on the mat. She was struggling to breathe.

'Cancel scenario', could be heard faintly in the back ground.

X

X

The Danger room door opened to reveal the others from the control room as they came rushing in.

Scott rushed to Rogues side helping her to her feet, were she swayed slightly.

Blood was gushing from her nose, she clutched her hand to her hand, obviously in a lot of pain.

'What happened?' asked Scott, as he looked at Rogue.

'That wasn't me, it was someone else', she said, her voice faint.

'What do you mean, someone else?',asked Scott, everyone else just stood there confused.

'Ah don't know, I felt so tired like Ah was going to fall asleep then it was like ah could see what ah was doing but couldn't control it. Ah don't even know what those moves whare'. She said as the blood stopping flowing, she wiped in on her shirt, mingling with the sweat she was drenched it.

'You should go to the medical bay and see Beast, just to make sure every things okay', said Scott. Rogue started to fall a little as her knees weakened.

Remy was at her side in a flash to catch her. He picked her up in his arms. He could have sworn she mumbled, 'A girl could get used ta this' as he carried her out of the Danger room.
