Chapter 24:
"Kitty, Jean, Amara!" Rogue yelled, "Get your asses in here right now!"
Rogue was in her room putting away the clothes they had just bought that day. But when she opened her closet and drawers she noticed that most of her Goth clothes were gone.
"What's wrong Rogue?" Jean innocently asked when she walked into the room.
"Ya know what's wrong!" Rogue continued to yell.
"What's with the yelling?" Kitty asked, phasing through the wall.
Amara also stepped into the room, but didn't say a word; guilt was written all over her face.
"What's wrong is ya guys took all mah clothes! Now where are they? Ah know ya guys did it, ya can see it all over Amara's face," Rogue said.
Amara turned a deep shade of red as Kitty and Jean glared at the younger girl for giving away their secret.
"Listen Rogue, we knew that you wouldn't wear any of the clothes we bought today if you still had all your old clothes," Jean started.
"So we like got rid of them," Kitty finished, a little too cheerfully.
"What!" Rogue exclaimed, "Ya through mah clothes away?"
Rogue looked like she was about to have a heart attack.
"No, no," Amara amended, "We still have them."
"Where are they?" Rogue asked, glaring at each of them in turn.
"Listen Rogue, we'll give you back your clothes if you wear each new outfit at least once," Jean reasoned calmly, even though she was at the receiving end of a very nasty death glare.
"That way we haven't wasted our money," Kitty said, optimistically.
"Ah'm not five, guys, ah can dress mah self," Rogue said angrily.
"We know," Amara said sheepishly, about to give in and give her clothes back.
"We just want to see how you look in them," Kitty said.
"Ah'm also not ah Barbie( doll," Rogue said, still mad.
"Just wear every outfit and then we'll give them back," Jean said sternly.
"Fahne!" Rogue yelled.
"Good!" Kitty exclaimed, happy that they won.
"Now get out of here before ah change mah mind," Rogue said, not feeling like socializing with them at the moment.
"Whoa Rogue you don't have to be so rude," Kitty said.
Rogue glared at her and they all left without another word.
As soon as the door was closed, she sat on her bed and took a deep breath, calming herself down.
She looked at her clock and saw that it was 5:30pm.
"Ah have an hour before tha session wit' tha Professor," she thought, "Ah guess ah'll call Micheal then."
So she took out her phone book and found his number. She quickly dialed it and waited for someone to answer.
"Hello?" a young girls voice asked.
"Hi may ah speak ta Micheal?" Rogue asked, politely.
"Hold on a sec," the girl, who was probably Micheal's sister, said. Then Rogue heard her yelling to Micheal to grab the phone.
After a few more seconds she heard Micheal's voice.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hi Micheal, it's meh Rogue," she said.
"Oh hi Rogue! I hope everything's ok now," he said immediately concerned.
"Everything's fahne right now," she assured him.
"Good. I was really worried about you at the mall. What was that all about?" he asked.
She then explained the whole situation to Micheal right from the start all the way up to her choosing between Scott and Pietro. She really felt like she could confide in him even though she had just met him. She really needed a friend who wasn't biased.
"And here I thought I had a chance with you," he joked.
"Ah really don't know what ta do," she said, sadly.
"Rogue the best advice I can give you is 'follow your heart and you'll find the answer eventually'," he said seriously.
"Thanks Micheal," Rogue replied.
"And who knows that heart of yours just might lead you to me," he joked again trying to lighten the moment.
"Don't ya have ah date this Friday wit' ah Miss. Jean Grey?" Rogue replied, after laughing for a second.
"Yeah," Micheal replied.
"So what's up wit' that?" she asked.
"She asked me and I said yes. Nothing else to it," he said and then paused, "Besides I think she's really cute!"
"Cuter then meh?" Rogue kidded, faking hurt and laughing a little.
"Rogue, no ones cuter then my Goth girl," Micheal joked along.
"There's one problem with that," Rogue said laughing at Micheal.
"What's that?" he asked.
"Jean and my two other friends confiscated mah clothes and left meh wit' regular clothes," she explained.
"Well we'll just have to remedy that when I move in. We'll search everywhere for them," Micheal declared.
"And when are ya moving in, by tha way," she asked.
"Tomorrow, hopefully. I just have to talk to Professor Xavier and see if it's ok with him," Micheal replied.
"That's great!" Rogue exclaimed, "So what did your parents think of your plans?"
"They were nervous about it at first, but they eventually said it was ok. Besides I'm an adult now I would have moved in whether they oked it or not. They also want to come and check the place out for themselves and talk with the Professor," he said.
"Well we're all looking forward to ya moving in," Rogue said sincerely.
"Thanks," he replied.
Rogue all of the sudden heard her stomach growl. She realized that she hadn't eaten anything all day and was really starving. She glanced at her clock and noticed it said 6:00pm, just enough time to go get something to snack on.
"Well ah've got ta go now," Rogue said, "Hopefully ah'll see ya tomorrow."
"Yeah hopefully," he replied.
"Bye," she said.
"Bye," he replied.
Rogue hung up the phone.
She made her way down to the kitchen and found that it was empty. So she went to the refrigerator to see what she could make. She opened it and found everything to make a nice sub.
When she was done she grabbed her plate and went to watch t.v. There she found Jamie sitting there all alone watching t.v.
"Hey Jamie. What are ya watching?" she asked, sitting next to him.
"The Simpsons," he replied.
"Mind if ah watch wit' ya?" she asked.
"Go right ahead," he replied, happy for her company.
"Want half of mah sandwich?" she offered, before getting into the show.
"Sure!" he said.
So they sat there watching Homer be an idiot, eating a sub and just enjoying each other's company.
As soon as the show was done she told Jamie she had fun and that they should do something together again sometime. Then she excused herself and told him that she had to meet the Professor.
So she walked upstairs to the Professor's office. She knocked on the door and he told her to come in.
"Hi Professor," she said rather cheerfully.
"Hello Rogue, how are you today?" he asked.
"Ah'm fahne. Just finished watching T.V. wit' Jamie," she told him.
"Ah yes Jamie. I'm very glad you spent time with him. I wish there were more kids his age here," he said.
"Yah ah know. Ah don't mind hanging out wit' him though," Rogue added, "It was nice."
"That is very thoughtful of you Rogue," he said and then continued, "Would you like to get started now?"
She nodded.
"Very well. I was thinking that we should work on the psyches that seem to be most prominent in your mind. Which do you think those would be?" he asked.
Rogue took a minute to think. She had touched Scott more then once so he was up there on the list and Pietro's psyche was always chattering away in her head. If she could deal with those two she would have more restful nights.
"They would have to be Scott's and Pietro's psyches," she answered and then thought for a second more, "And Jean's too."
"I see; well we will concentrate on them one by one and see how far we can get today. And after today you will be one step closer to controlling you powers on your own," the professor told her optimistically.
So for a full hour and a half they worked hard on controlling the psyches.
In the end they had only successfully dealt with Scott and Pietro's psyches.
"So how come ah can control Scott's powers and he can't?" she asked him.
The Professor explained to Rogue the reason why Scott could not control his power, being that he damaged the part of his brain, which could control it. And then he explained that this would not be a problem to her. She thought that this was kind of cruel to Scott, seeing another person have his powers and being able to control them. So she told herself she would refrain from using them unless absolutely necessary.
As for Pietro's powers she had mastered them by the time the session was over.
"Professor how come it is so easy for meh ta get tha hang of other peoples powers? Ah mean it takes them years ta figure them out and here ah'm learning them in an hour or so," Rogue asked.
"I believe it is because when you absorb people you absorb their memories as well. And logically these memories would include the "instructions" to their powers," he explained.
"Oh, so how much longer do ya think it will take for meh ta control mah own powers?" she asked.
"I think by the time we've got all the psyches under control you should be fully able to focus on learning control of your own absorbing mutant power," he said.
"Ah understand. So there is no definite date," she said, "Well at least ah got tha watch."
"Unfortunately I can't be certain as to how long it will take you to control them. But I believe you will eventually," he encouraged.
"Thanks Professor," she said, with a small smile, "Got ta get ta tha danger room now." And then she teleported out of his office and into her room to get her uniform.

Well I hope you liked it. I know, I know no Scott and no Pietro. But they'll be in it soon.
I'll try to update next weekend.
Please Review.
Thanks!
