Authors Note: so I still don't get many reviews, and I swear I will start holding chapters hostage should I not get any... Come on guys- just give me one! Please? Anyway here's chapter ten and hopefully it'll explain some stuff.

Jimmy shook his head pretending he hadn't even listened to what Rogue had said. He started heading back to his room but he heard a voice in his head, it was the professor's and he was summoning him to his office.

A few minutes later Jimmy arrived and leaned against the wall, cockily smirking, " You rang?"

"Yes James." He began "I wanted to speak to you about what went on in the kitchen a few moments ago." The smirk on Jimmy's face was wiped clean off and he knew he was really done for. "Oh. So you heard that." He said almost silently. "It was hard to ignore, yes." The professor said sternly. "You have to understand James you are two years older than her, which means I trust you to be mature enough not to instigate quarrels with a fourteen year old girl." He started at Jimmy "yes sir" Jimmy answered stubbornly.

"But there's also something else I wanted to tell you Jimmy, something I've been keeping from you." He looked away and Jimmy stepped closer to his desk wondering what he was going to say. "James, you know that the day Rogue broke in here a few months ago, was the same day the Avengers Academy was attacked, yes?" He clarified, "yes" Jimmy nodded. "And the reason your memories from before that day are wiped was because you were attacked by Stryker when you returned, and he shot you with an Adamantium bullet much like your father correct?" Jimmy rolled his eyes. "Yes I know all this... I also know what you've told me, I lived at the AA till I was 16, and when Stryker took me down he also took down one of my teammates... Finesse right?" He inquired. "yes" the professor answered slowly. "But the day Rogue broke in... She also absorbed you're memories... Permanently."

Jimmy's face looked livid. "So you're saying... That the only way I could get my real memories back... Is..." "Is to ask Rogue... and she'll have to answer, which may not be too probable given you're warm welcome." The Professor answered. "But... I don't remember being taken down by her... But I saw the security footage... She humiliated me! And if I have to beg her for information she'll do it again!" Charles sighed, "maybe James... But se could be the only one who can really help you remember."

Rogue walked back from the kitchen,

looking at the floor. She was satisfied with the way she had handled James but how could she ever make friends or feel as if she belonged, if no one would accept her?

She looked up right as she bumped into a figure in front of her that she didn't recognize in the pitch darkness. "Woah" he hollered, in a sort of half-laugh. "John?" Rogue said, relieved that it had been someone who she hadn't offended, or someone who wanted her in the ground. "Sorry," she said walking past him toward her room. "Wait" he called after her. "Why are you out so late?" He asked clicking his lighter on and lighting up the hallway. "Oh ah was just... Getting a snack" she said shielding her eyes from the fire.

"Oh" he said, not really believing that was all that had happened. "Later"

"Wait" she called as he started walking away. "Can ah ask you something?" She said timidly. He smirked "sure"

She led him to her room and she plopped down on her bed while he sinked into the chair in the opposite corner.

"Why... Ah mean... Why do Jimmy and Kitty hate me so much?" Rogue began not even trying to dance around the subject.

John almost laughed out at her forwardness. "Um." He said not positive he had an answer for her. "Well Kitty was really close to Carol, even more so than the rest of the Xmen. The rest of us have heard your story, so we can't really blame you." He said turning off his signature cockiness for this conversation, "Well" he continued "Most of us have gotten over it." "Most?" rogue repeated to herself surprised anyone had come close to accept her. "Yeah." John said, "But I mean no ones nice to you cause they don't want to be the first one." He said without regard for manners. "But Bobby and I, well we don't really care. We're pretty laid back." He said working his smirk back into his face.

"Oh" rogue said half smiling. "Well. What about Jimmy?" Johns face turned serious. "Jimmy. Well. The day you came here and absorbed the crap out of him... Well his girlfriend was with him and..." John was stuttering and dancing around the point. He straightened up. "After he told Finesse to leave... The Avengers Academy was attacked and well, She was killed. And Jimmy was shot... All of his memories, gone. He loved her, and when he finally came around after being shot he said he didn't remember anything...So we showed him the security cameras and..." Rogue cut in, "and he saw me almost killing him..." She looked away. It must've been awful, she thought to herself, him losing his love... And not even knowing it.

"Thanks John." She spoke softly.

"Anytime." He said plainly moving his attention back to flicking his lighter on and off as he often annoyingly did. "I know it may not be easy for you not knowing much about the school and how it-"

"No" she cut him off. "I'm not thanking you just for tonight... I meant for everything... You and Bobby (she blushed mentioning Bobby's name) have been so helpful and you're about the only ones who haven't shot me a dirty look or exploded my pencil or-"

This time he cut her off "no really, it's nothing" he thought about it "we just understand better than a lot of people here do... We're a bit more open minded I guess." He got up to leave. "Later Rogue" he smirked walking out the door.

"Bye John" she said pushing a white streak if hair out of her face.

"Oh" and John began right before exiting "I think Bobby has a bit of a crush on you."

But before she could question him he ran out the door, across the school, to his own room opened the door waking up Bobby and told him the whole conversation.

"You told her what?!" Bobby hollered after the last bit of the story.
