"So she can touch yo?" Todd asked shocked.

"Yeah she can touch." Pietro said grinning.

"We have to be careful though." Lance said. "It may be a way for her to stay with the X-Squad."

"What are you talking about?" Tabitha asked.

"For instance, she leaves them then she'll have to leave that device with them."

"Oh yeah." They all said disappointingly.

"So your like not mad at me anymore?" Kitty asked.

"Ah guess not." Rogue said. "Ah think ah had too many memories runnin` through mah head ta think clearly."

"Well, I'm like so glad and I promise to like not dance around the room on the phone while your doing your homework."

"Deal."

Kitty sighed with relief as she phased out of the room and almost into Evan. "Like sorry."

"It's okay." He said. "Rogue in there?"

"Yeah." She said walking off.

Evan sighed as he knocked on the door. "Come in." He heard the southern beauty say as he entered. "Hey Rogue."

"Oh hey Evan. What brings ya here?"

"Figured, I'd come see how you were doing."

"Ah'm doin` pretty good."

"Did you try the device out?"

"On Scott."

Evan chuckled. "I mean besides in the professors sight."

Rogue didn't know how to answer him. She did on Pietro and was happy she did, but she couldn't tell Evan that. "Uh, no."

"Well, don't you think you should at least try it on someone other then Scott?" He said sitting next to her on the bed.

"Ah, uh, ah suppose ah'll hafta sooner or later, right?"

"Right." He said lifting his hand up and touched the side of Rogue's face moving a strand of her hair out of her eyes. "So is this natural or did you have it done?"

"Mah hair?" She asked as he nodded. "It's natural."

"The thought ever cross your mind of just having it one color?" Evan asked.

"No, ah like it this way. It fits me."

"Yeah I guess it does fit you, Marie."

Rogue's face turned pale and looked at Evan. "What did ya call me?"

"Marie. It's your real name right?"

"Yeah, but no one calls me that any more."

"Scott does." He said.

"Scott doesn` call me Marie. He usually calls me Kate."

Evan chuckled. "Just another way to make Jean jealous I guess."

"Ya know ah'm gettin` kind of tired." She said hoping Evan would get the idea. "Ah'm goin` ta take a lil` nap."

Evan smiled and nodded. "No problem. I'll se you at dinner, Marie." He said leaving and shut the door behind him.

Rogue sighed and she curled up into a ball under her covers. She didn't want to hurt Evan, but she didn't fell that way about him like he obviously felt about her. She some how felt more close to Pietro then she did to Scott right then. She'd find a way to give him a call later without any one suspecting anything.
