-1CHAPTER ELEVEN

Rogue and Sonima spend all of their free time together. No one but the Professor and Beast know what their true intentions were. Rogue is still very untrusting of the whole situation. She believes that Sonima is leading her down the same road she has ventured so many times before. "Rogue, you know how after you have absorbed someone how hard it is to control the powers you have borrowed from them is?"

"Ya, Sonima."

"I have a felling that if you can learn to control those powers you might have more success in controlling your own. You have no way of knowing how to turn off those powers so how would you be able to turn off your own."

"Ya really think so."

"Yes I do. I know that when you were with Mystique you were working on that what do you say about us starting there?"

"Ah guess its worth a shot."

"Ok, let's go." She grabs Rogue's hand and takes off running. When they get outside she starts flying with Rogue in tow.

"Where are we going?"

"Just wait and see." After a few minutes they arrive at their destination. It looks to be an old run down house. Once inside Rogue notices that there are about ten mutants living inside this place. Sonima walks over to an older looking mutant and whispers something in her ear. The mutant nods and walks over with Sonima to Rogue. "This is Milia; she is the leader of the Unknowns, a group of mutants who are like the Morlocks. They hide here because most of their mutations have drastic physical affects. She has agreed to help us with your situation. Milia is the one that helped me over come my problem. She would be more than happy to assist you as well."

"Ah don't wanna hurt anyone."

"You see that mutant sitting over there by the T.V. That is Remedy she can undue any harmful effects of your powers."

"Ya sure about this, Nima."

"I wouldn't be doing it if I wasn't"

"OK let's try." Rogue removes her gloves and a mutant girl comes over. She has the ability to control water. Rogue warily touches her. Sonima walks Rogue over to the bathroom and fills the tub up. "Try and form something from the water, Rogue." She tries and tries but fails. "This time when you do it I want to watch from the inside of your mind. To see what happens when you touch someone and try to use their powers ok?"

"Alright if ya think it'll help." Rogue and Sonima walk over to the same mutant girl who is fine now thanks to Remedy and Sonima uses the Professor's powers to watch from inside. Rogue reaches down and touches the girl again. From inside her head Sonima sees something interesting. Telepathically Sonima tells Rogue to touch someone else. She does but this time Sonima blocks off the area she noticed before. When Rogue touches the girl nothing happens. Ending her telepathic link with Rogue Sonima says, "Honey I found the problem. Now all we need to do is figure out how to fix it. It seems your powers are always switched on. I found the switch inside your mind, now we need to train you to learn how to use the switch."

Sonima and Rogue leave the house and thank everyone for their help. They fly back towards the mansion. When they arrive Gambit is outside waiting for them. "Ladies, Gambit hurt. You go out on da town for fun and not invite Gambit."

"Aw sugah, next time ah promise to invite ya for the fun."

"Sonima, Remy tinks da maybe you try and steal his girl."

"Never Remy, I am just borrowing her."

"Listen chere, you have spent no time wit Remy lately, he starting to tink you no love him no more."

"Remy, ya know betta then that. Ah will always love ya, Swamp Rat."

"Remy just makin sure, everyone starting ta tink you switched teams chere."

Rogue shoves Gambit out the way. Sonima and Rogue make their way to their rooms. Every since they have been working on their special project, the Professor thought it would be a good idea fro them to room together.
