And finally, here we are. The last chapter in which Sean's introduction to the CDT Universe is complete. I have achieved what I want to get done and that is set up a character that I will need in Wushu Who and his origin story isn't going to take up space in the main events.

So, onward with the story!

Immune

"Come on, mom! I told you I was fine! Remember, it's me, Sean. I don't get hurt, period." Sean whined as he sat on the infirmary table while Dr. McCoy pressed his stethoscope to the young man's chest and he curled in. "Oh, that's cold."

Marianne just folded her arms and smiled at her son, the young man knowing that he had better shut up if he didn't want to earn the annoyance of his mom. Even though he couldn't be hurt, his mother terrified him far more than any super villain he had seen on the news.

Also in the room was the man that had hired his mom, Charles Xavier, and two of the kids from at the fast-food stop, Scott Summers and Rogue. He still didn't understand why the Gothic girl was looking at him with so much intensity. It was as though he was some how holding all the answers to the midterms and finals and if you stared at him long enough, Sean would just erupt in the answers.

Scott was just stupefied, so the young invulnerable man paid him little mind.

"I must admit, this is a first for me to witness such a power in someone like you." Xavier said as he looked to Marianne for permission to continue and at her nod, he did. "Most of the beings we've seen with this level of invulnerability match it with their size."

"So, does that mean I'm tall for my age or something?" Sean asked in confusion.

"Yes, but you're short when compared to your power." Dr. McCoy explained, Sean looking mixed between relieved and deflated. "This may change in time but it looks like you're power must have emerged when you hit by that car when you were younger. Since then, your power has grown with your age."

"And that means…" Sean asked and shrugged. "I don't know. I'm an arts major, I don't get science stuff."

"I know, your grades in the subject are evident enough of that." Marianne said haughtily, her son looking flabbergasted before she smiled. "You're art does make up for it, I guess."

Sean smiled at his mother's antics. It was their little way of having some sort of grounds of reassurance, so that they weren't caught too off-guard by anything said or done in the room. Yeah, it sounded a little condescending for the rest of the people present but it was a great way to shift the feeling in the room to your favor.

He could see that the other teenagers found in amusing as well and Sean couldn't help but feel a bit self-conscious about Rogue seeing him in his tattered jeans, which were really shorts now, and shirtless. He couldn't believe it; here he was, Mr. Impervious-to-harm, and he was worried about a girl seeing him without clothes.

"What it means, Sean, is that due to how powerful this mutation is now, there is a good chance that you may develop your own form of self sustained living." Hank explained and then sighed at Sean's look. "I mean immortality, my boy, the fruit of the Gods as Thor might boost; you maybe the closest person to being a true immortal."

"Whoa, that's creepy." Sean said quietly, the thought of being the only person left alive immensely disturbing.

Marianne could see the fear on his face and she knew that there was a good chance that Hank was right. It was a horrifying and unfair result for her son and she wished that it would never happen, but she knew. She knew that the reality of it all made it clearer and clearer that it was the fate that had been chosen for him.

"That's…." Marianne glanced to her left and raised a brow at the oblivious Rogue as she spoke in a whisper. "How lonely…"

Now this girl had her attention. The mother had already seen how the girl had stared at her son like a hungry animal but she had also noted the curiosity that was plastered on her face. She had been told of the girl's powers and she knew that Rogue had lived a very tragic life. Her power was a cursing but so where so many other powers…

Marianne then smiled deviously, her eyes hidden by the glare on her glasses. She wasn't even worried about the fact that Xavier could have read her thoughts, well aware of how the man operated with his psychic powers. But she couldn't help, considering the sheer possibilities of her thoughts.

"Well, I must say, you are the healthiest person in the world, Mr. Farris." Hank said, as he stepped back. "Now Scott, if you could join me in the next room, I'm sure Jean would like to see you."

Sean waved goodbye to them and then nearly jumped at the look his mother was giving him, a shiver running down his spine as she glanced at Rogue. The young man gulped his mother turned to Xavier and he could swear that he saw her eyes glowing with mischief.

"Xavier, I do believe that you said you want me to see my new office." Marianne said smoothly and effortlessly. "I'm sure we can leave this lovely young lady to show Sean around and I think he would like to get dressed again."

Sean felt himself pale as he mother left and Rogue stood up. He wasn't sure why, but he felt that now she knew he was a mutant that it made her that much more terrifying. He felt himself tense as the Goth slowly walked over to him and she carefully took her left glove off. Rogue looked so intent and focused on him that Sean couldn't help but back up as she moved closer and closer.

Sean slowly slid off the table and stared at the girl as she came, holding his hands at his waist. He was absolutely lost as to why she was coming closer to him, her fixated look not exactly reassuring.

"What? What is it, Rogue?" Sean asked in confusion.

"I want to know, if it's really possibly. I really want to know." She said as she closed the space and rested her hand on his bare chest.

"Was the really wise, Marianne?" Xavier asked as they took the elevator up to main level. "Leaving the two alone there when he might be the only one that can touch her?"

The woman sighed as they walked across the foyer and shrugged, a mischievous gleam in her eyes. She wasn't like many parents; she didn't worry about her kids because she knew that they had the right morals in their hearts. She knew that if she worried that meant that she didn't trust her kids, which she did a great deal.

"I think they'll be fine." Marianne said as they exited the elevator. "Sean will keep anything from happening."

"I may not be able that young man's mind, but it doesn't take a psychic to know how he feels about Rogue." Xavier dryly retorted and Marianne just shrugged.

"If something happens, I'm sure you will know about it before anyone else." Marianne assured Xavier, patting the older man reassuringly.

"You just want to start mischief, I see." Xavier said but not without mirth.

"What can I say? It will keep him out of mischief." She said with a chuckle. "At least the bad kind."

Sean thought he was going to rupture a lung from his hyperventilating, while Rogue rested her hand on his chest, her own breathing nervous and worried.

They must have spent at least five minutes waiting for something to happen, like the two of them were going to explode.

"Oh my god…."

"What!" Sean said in a panic as he leapt back. "What's wrong? What going to happen? Are you going to be…whoops!"

In his panic to give the girl enough space, the young man slipped over a stray cable and crashed into a tray of medical equipment. Some beakers and glasses crashes around him, the random pieces of glass scattering everywhere while a tray of medical equipment fell on top of Sean. He groaned as he sat up and shook his hair free the shards that had gotten caught there.

The Goth girl then leaned down to help him brush the glass off of his chest and she realized that she shouldn't have been able to. But as she wiped the glass from his body, Rogue found she wasn't getting a scratch. She then realized that she had managed to copy his power, closing her hand around a few of the larger pieces.

"Hey, be careful, you might cut yourself, Rogue." Sean said as he sat up and then he saw her hand were fine. "Or you won't."

"I copied your powers." She said in awe, staring at Sean is disbelief. "And your fine."

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Sugar, when I normally touch people, I sap everything from them." Rogue explained as she helped Sean to his feet. "Power, memories and life. If I hang onto someone too long, I could kill then just by accident."

"What?" Sean asked in disbelief; Rogue tried to turn away but he stopped her by hold her arm and she could feel her heart racing. "So, touching your skin like this?"

"If you were anyone else, you be trashing on floor right now or passed out." Rogue said in a lecturing tone, before she brushed over his hand. "I don't think I've ever had someone hold onto me this long in my life."

The silence was long and neither could tell whether it was awkward or just comfortable.

"So…how about some clothes?" Sean said awkwardly, his face burning as he felt the shredded pants slip a little.

Rogue's blush was a bit more impressive.

Sean was in awe. The mansion was freaking awesome! It had everything that anyone could ever want inside of it. A pool, plenty of rooms, TV and game consoles, kitchen…if this was where his mom was teaching, he was so there.

Rogue had gotten him a hooded sweatshirt with the schools logo on it and a pair of jeans that were a little too big but his belt was still useable. And so he was wandering around the halls in a pair of over sized pants that just made it to his ankles and toasty hoodie

But he was constantly aware of Rogue's presence around him and the news that she had given him. It was something that just itched in his mind, something he couldn't let go. She could never touch anybody because her powers were so uncontrollable, the slightest contact could even kill someone. So she had to constantly be covered up, stay away from people and be careful every single day of her life.

But he was immune to this power, for some reason…

Agh, it was driving him up the wall. He had no idea why he was able to touch her other than his powers cancelled the negative effects. Well, other than because it would entail some form of harm to him.

"So, how many people live here at a given time?" Sean asked as he tried to make polite conversation.

"Oh, I'm not sure, Sugar. Somewhere between fifteen and twenty five students at a time, I think." She said as paused to think, shrugging. "I never really cared about it, to be honest."

"Whoa, that's a lot of people under one roof." Sean said with whistle, his hand folding in the pocket at the front of the hood. "I can imagine using the bathroom is an all out war."

"Ha ha, you have no idea, Sean." The Goth laughed. "it's really not fair when Kitty just walks through the door."

"Kitty? The valley girl from earlier?" Sean asked as he chuckle.

"Yup, she can pass through anything. She calls it 'phasing'."

"Well, that decides if I ever take a shower here or not."

"The boys and girls have two separate shower rooms, ya doofus."

"Like that would ever stop someone."

"Hmm, good point." They then came back to the empty den and she looked back at sean with a smile. "Well, that's everything except the basements and the roof but I don't think you'd like those that much."

"Probably not….wait, basements? As in, more than one?" Sean asked in confusion.

"Yeah, we use it for training our powers and to store the jet." Rogue said casually

"You have a jet?" Sean asked in shock and then shook his head. "Maybe I don't wanna know."

"Why, scared of heights?" Rogue teased and Sean blushed, folding his arms.

"Forgive me if I think we were meant to stay on the ground." The invulnerable teenager said grumpily, the Goth only laughing harder.

"Well, I must say, things are going to be interesting for this year." Marianne said as she stood on the steps before the X-Mansion. "I really think I'm going to enjoy working here; the children seem interesting and I'm sure the other instructors are nice enough."

"I wonder why Logan wasn't around?" Hank asked curiously.

"He's here; he's just been talk to his daughter in China for the past two hours and apparently X23 and Todd had slit spat about something." Xavier said with a sigh. "There are time when I'm glad I don't have any children."

"Heh, sometimes it's tough but it's more that worth it for the majority of the time." Marianne said with a glance to Sean.

The young man was talking with Rogue, the untouchable mutant giving him the first warm smiling in what may have been seven years. Sean was still nervous around as he rubbed his nose but the Southern belle pretended not to notice, handing him a piece of paper. He took the piece of paper hesitantly and glanced over the number and letters.

"I figured you could give me a call or drop me an email." Rogue said in an explaining tone, smirking as he pocketed the paper. "Now you can ask me out on date whenever you feel like it."

Sean's cheeks blossomed brilliantly into a blush and Rogue giggled at her handiwork.

"How about we get to know each other first?" Sean suggested, gesturing to his mom with the jab of his thumb. "I think I'm be visiting fairly frequently, so I'm goanna be around a fair bit."

"Hmm, I guess I could let that slide…" Rogue said, her fingers resting under her chin as she gave him a wicked grin. "I do think that I should properly thank you, for earlier today."

"Oh, you do?" Sean said, propping his hands on his hips and tried to keep his face from opening up in a smile. "And how would you do that?"

"Like this." She said as she reached forward and the revered Ice Queen of the X-Mansion pressed herself to the Las Vegas Iron Kid.

Sean was caught between mindless bliss and heightened awareness as he knew his mom was right there and he was extremely aware of Rogue pressing herself against him so eagerly. He then caught her around the waist, his hand cupping her cheek as he pressed back.

"Visiting?" Marianne scoffed as she walked away, Sean breaking apart from Rogue. "We'll be lucky if we can get you to come home for more than a night."

Sean just absent mindedly followed his mother, his smile broad and goofy like a cartoon character while Rogue giggled. Oh, what a year Todd and X23 were going to miss….

The End

That's it, that's all he wrote for this story. Will I do another one of these cute Sean/Rogue fictions? I don't know but I might be able to think up of something, so we'll see. Wushu Who? is going to be my main focus as of now and what comes, comes. So, just keep some fingers crossed. Also, keep an eye out for Todd's Dark Provenances, the origin tale of Todd "Toad" Tolansky for this series as that has been in the productions for a while.

Any who, please send your reviews about the finale and I'll see you, well some of you, in Wushu Who? at the next chapter.

Later,

– Lin
