"What's that"Raven asked.

"A group of mutants who protect both mutants and humans" Charles explained. Logan looked at him puzzledly . "Some humans are cruel to us but there are some who didn't ask for any of this"Charles said.

"So a team?"Rouge asked.

"It would be Me , Raven , Logan, Hank and an old friend"Charles said. Rouge looked at him confusedly.

"What about me Charles" Rouge asked confusedly.

"Well with your powers it would be difficult for you to defend yourself " Charles said carefully .

"No , you just don't think I can handle myself"Rouge said angrily .

"That's not true "Charles replied.

"I don't need to be a mind reader to see that Charles "Rouge said sadly . She got up and left.

"Rouge "Raven called after her. "Charles"She said sternly. Charles gave her a confused look. "Why cant she be one of the X-Men or more specifically why do you think she's incapable of it"Raven said angrily .

"I don't think she's uncappable and you know that Raven" Charles began his tone was slightly annoyed. "She's more powerful than all of us combined."

"That's a good thing Charles"Raven stated .

"Rouge is unique Raven , she's young, smart , clever and has this huge power that could essentially destroy the world "Charles said braking eye contact.

"Your protecting her" Raven said sympathetically. "She's not Eric Charles "Raven said.

"Look I'm going to go and talk to her "Charles said as he got up.

"Let me "Raven said also standing now .

"It's my mess Raven , I'll talk to her"Charles stated . He then left before Raven could leave.

"Well , that was awkward "Logan said slightly gave him a scolding look and left. "What" He said to himself.

Charles knocked on Rouge's door gently . What was she thinking? He thought . He shouldn't go in her head in case she gets more angry at him. Did she hate him? He knocked on the door harder this time. There was no reply .

"Rouge?" He shouted worriedly . Still no reply . "Rouge!" He repeated now banging on the door.

"What Charles " Rouge said angrily as she yanked the door opened. It was clear she had been crying because her cheeks were red and her eyes were blood shot.

"Rouge , I didn't mean to hurt you" Charles said sorely.

"You did Charles "She stated . "Anyways I'll be out of this place soon enough"She said with a slight sad tone.

"What do you mean ?" Charles asked worriedly.

"You treat me like I'm some child just because I live under your roof Charles , how do you think that feels " She said almost shouting .

"I don't think you're a child Rouge , let me explain , please " He begged. Rouge nodded and let him in. She went to sit on the edge of her bed and Charles stood not far in front of her. "Rouge your powers are truly unique" he began. " If someone was to find out about your magnificent abilities and choose that they want to control it , it would put you in harms way" He explained. Rouge softened slightly.

"You cant protect me from that Charles "She said softly .

"I can try " He replied.

"Charles" She said sadly . She walked up to him and hugged him tightly. "Your an asshole"She joked.

"Charming " He smiled . He pulled away slightly so he was facing her . "You really are one of a kind Rogue " He said admirably. He rested his head on her forehead.

"So can I be an X-Men , or X-Woman " She nodded

"Be careful"He smiled and kissed him softly . She loved how much he cared .She loved him. When they broke their kiss he hugged her again." Fancy lunch?"He whispered in her ear smiling.

"Sure" She replied. She held his hand and the pair went to the kitchen.

Albert was hidden in a dark alley way. He had two friends that looked like they could be body guards and a high tech phone .

"Yes , so when can you be here , it's urgent " He whispered into the phone. "Ok , tomorrow , perfect " He grinned evilly. " Where should I meet you…..yes I am in danger … what do you mean you'll find them alone"He said angrily.

"What did she say boss" One of the men said .

"She'll find them alone " He scolded. "At least their doomed, at least their doomed " He said evilly.

"What exactly are you planning boss ?"The other man said.

"I cant say that due to our …. Guest " He sad evilly. He looked over to the corner where there was a teenage boy with brown hair surrounded by a frozen puddle .He was unconscious .

"What are his abilities" The first man asked.

"Ice manipulation " He said obviously . "His name is Bobby , otherwise known as Ice man, level four mutant I think "

"Why is he here boss ?" The second man asked.

" He amuses me" Albert answered evilly. They both nodded and looked at the boy . He looked drained , like his life force had been ripped out of him. His under eyes were purple and his shit was ripped. "Tomorrow will be a good day "Albert smirked.

A.N: Albert is not a permeant character, he is only here for the build up to chapter 15. Also I want to do a chapter on self harm to help people be more aware of it. I know I don't have that many followers but it's an important subject . If that is something you guys would like please let me know in the review section. I have pre written most of these so it might be in chapter 17 or something xx.
