The next day Rouge woke up in her room as usual. She sighed as she thought of Charles being stuck on that bed after something she'd done to him. She hated her powers and hoped that Charles was right that soon she'd be able to control them.
She went into the bathroom and put her hair into a high ponytail and brushed her teeth. After that she just stood there , staring , so deep in thought she couldn't remebr what she was thinking about.
It wasn't until around 10 minutes later that she'd snapped out of thought when someone knocked the door.
"Come in " She yelled.
"How'd you sleep" Charles said as he entered her room.
"Charles you should be resting" Rouge replied cautiously.
"Oh please, I'm fine " Charles smiled.
"Well I'm glad to hear that" She said as she went to sit on her bed. She patted the bed next to her to tell Charles to sit next to her. He sat down next her.
"Look, I came here to talk to you about your powers" He began. Rogue nodded. This was it . This was when Charles told her there was nothing he could do and if she could leave.
" Do you remember when you first used your powers on me and you were able to use my powers for a short while. I was thinking then you were aiming to take them , yesterday you accidentally touched me and I fell unconscious.I believe if you truly think about it you should be able to touch someone and not harm them" Charles explained.
"Wait…You really think that" Rouge asked in shock.
"Ye , I do, in fact try it " Charles insisted.
"Charles , you cant be series , you almost died " Rogue said shifting away slightly.
" I know , I know but I promised you I would help you , this is me helping" Charles said calmly.
"I would never forgive myself if I….." Rogue said before getting interrupted.
" I'm the worlds most powerful psychic , I think I can handle some human contact" Charles smiled. Rouge sighed.
"I'm sorry , I cant hurt you Charles "Rouge said as tears started streaming down her face. Charles nodded in understatement.
"The offer still stands" He smiled softly . She forced a smile back at him. Charles got up to leave but stopped at the door.
"Oh and Rouge , when you are able to control your powers your still able to stay here if you want " Charles said. He then left her.
"Thank you" She said under her breath.
Enough feeling sorry for myself it's time to get a job she thought to herself. She nodded slightly , got up and went to the kitchen.
She walked in and saw Charles and Raven talking , it looked to be series . She stood out of sight but within earshot and listened.
"Charles you don't understand" Raven pleaded.
"We cant abandon her" Charles said.
"Now that Eric knows of her abilities ,everyone will , she's not safe" Raven replied.
"Well what do we do?" Charles asked.
"I don't know" Raven said in a defeated tone.
" She's family , whether you admit it or not" Charles said.
"I know , she's like a sister I never had Charles , I know" Raven said in a defensive tone.
"Then why kick her out" Charles said more sympathetically.
" She's not safe, you know we can't protect her here " Raven said sadly.
" Logan could" Charles replied.
"Oh ye we go up to him and be like , hey Logan fancy risking your life to save a girl you barely know" Raven said sarcastically.
"He can regenerate" Charles replied. Rouge had had enough of listening to this so she walked in.
"Morning "She said as happily as she could make out.
"Morning" Raven smiled. She then went to her room.
"I'm looking for a job today so I can start getting income and be out of your hair "Rouge said.
"You don't have to leave Rouge" Charles smiled.
"I know , either way I need to get a job" Rouge explained." I'm going to make breakfast , do you want anything?"She asked changing the subject.
"Full English with waffles and maple syrup" Charles joked. Rogue smiled at him. "Whatever your having " He replied.
"Frosties it is "Rouge smiled. She turned to the counter and reached for the cereal. Charles sat down and subtly put his fingers to his temple and entered Rouge's mind. What are you hiding he thought to himself.
He reached for her thoughts .
What if someone hurts them trying to get to me? I cant saty anymore . It's not safe . I cant have them brought into harms way for me . And Charles I don't even know what Charles wants from me . He says friends but I think he fancies me . I cant be with someone , physically and mentally . I don't want to hurt or loose him . Wait a minute , Charles is being awfully quite for hir loud and happy self .
How much of that did you hear Charles?
"Enough"He said calmly.
"Well this is awkward" Rogue said faking a smile. He carried on making breakfast. When she'd finished she sat opposite him awkwardly .
"Rouge"Charles started before getting interrupted.
"Charles , I'm sorry , you're a great guy and all and I really do care for you but not in that way. Your more like an older brother to me than anything else and I don't want to ruin that." Rouge explained softly.
"Rouge , as lovely and beautiful you are I don't fancy you , like you said were family"Charles smiled back. "I have to ask , where you listening to mine and Ravens conversation?"
"Maybe"She replied quietly .
"Look were not in harms way , not with Eric. Whether he admits it or not he's no monster but a stupid good guy . He wouldn't do anything to endanger us " Charles said.
"Charles…"
"Didn't you say you were looking for a job today ? Why don't I go with you?" Charles offered. Rouge nodded and pair got out and left.
As they walked to the mall they saw many protests.
"What do you thinks going on"Rogue asked curiously .
"Lets find out"Charles pair walked towards the entrance of the mall and saw the signs that read 'NO MORE MUTANTS' In the crowd there was a familiar face . The man that fell unconscious after touching Rouge the night she'd first met Charles.
"Uhh Charles"She said unable to looked at pointed towards the man.
"We better come back another day"He said. Rouge nodded and the pair dodged the crowds in a mean to escape.
The man spotted them…
