The next two weeks went well for Rogue. She cooked once or twice for everyone and they all agreed that the mansion had never seen such fine food. When she made fried chicken, corn and mashed potatoes which far surpassed any processed garbage that KFC produced, Ray 'proposed' on the spot, causing laughter from most, and jealousy from one certain Iceman.
Rogue was now in a session with the Professor in the Danger Room, working on controlling some of her new powers. The Danger Room looked like a smaller version of the Grand Canyon. There was a large gap between two mesas, where 'Scott', 'Kitty' and 'Kurt' lay injured.
"I want you to concentrate, Rogue. Use Bobby's powers to make a bridge between these two cliffs and rescue your teammates."
Rogue exhaled slowly before she transformed her body into ice. She rubbed her hands together before spreading them apart and started constructing a slippery bridge to the other side.
"Its not wide enough Rogue, make it cover the whole width of the gap."
Rogue spread her arms out more and the ice spread the tiniest bit.
"Bobby, go in and help her, please."
Bobby who had been watching in the control room with the Professor, Ororo, Logan and the team, had Kitty phase him through.
Rogue was struggling with the ice, as she had taken a big step from icing medium sized objects to making large bridges. Bobby came up behind her quietly, in his ice form. Standing behind her, he took hold of her arms and spread them farther apart.
Rogue was a little uncomfortable with the close proximity between them, but she relaxed knowing it was Bobby and he knew to be careful.
"Now, Rogue. You control in the ice, don't let it restrict you. You can do it. If you spread your fingers apart, it'll get the ice to go wider for you."
Up in the control tower the Professor nodded as the bridge was iced the rest of the way correctly,
"Good work Rogue."
Ray glared down at Bobby talking animatedly to each other, and high fiving after Rogue helped 'Scott', 'Kurt' and 'Kitty to the other side.
Jean whispered conspiratorily to Kitty and Amara, "Looks like we have some rivalry going on here."
Amara and Kitty burst into a fit of giggles.
Meanwhile Ororo was talking to the Professor, Logan, Hank and Scott.
"Its amazing that she is able to commandeer that many powers with such control."
Xavier nodded in agreement, "Yes, she really has worked hard in order to control all of these. I think she's been working for the control of her own power. It must be difficult for her not to touch anyone. Have you been able to help with that Hank?"
He shook his head, "No, I'm sorry Professor. I'd have to create something that could regulate the X-gene and its been difficult. But I am making some progress, thanks to Scott acting as my 'guinea pig'."
Scott grinned, "Hey, it was no big deal, it was great to be able to see a color other than red for a couple minutes, even though I did blow the roof off of my room, pass out, and wake up with a killer headache after the stuff you gave me wore off."
The Professor typed in a new scenario, in which several 'men' were trying to make off with a large amount of stolen electronics in the back of their truck. They were frozen for the moment as he debriefed Rogue.
"Rogue I want you to use your telekinetics to stop this truck and apprehend these men." Turning to Ororo and the other leaders he said, "I really believe that Rogue is the key to limitless power, although it is a double edged sword."
Logan growled out, "Yeah cuz now everyone's going to want her on their side, and they're going to try to get her no matter what it takes."
Scott stated, "We're just going to have to make sure that doesn't happen. We'll have to keep someone with her at all times, wherever she goes."
The Professor started the simulation.
The truck roared to life and started driving off down the street. Rogue rubbed her hands together again before raising one hand up to stop the truck's progress.
Rogue was visibly straining as she lifted the car into the air, about three feet above the ground. Slowly she mentally opened one car door, turning the car on its side to dump the criminals to the ground.
The three men started running away from her, down the street.
She let out a cry of frustration, "Oh no you don't!"
Rogue created a box of ice with one hand which trapped the three men while using the other to lower the truck to the ground.
Hank looked on impressed, "Amazing!"
-_-_-_-
"You're positive that she's been working on using these new powers with Xavier?"
"Yes,she'sbeenpracticingeachdaybeforeschool.Icanonlygobyquicklyorthey'dnoticemebuttheyaretoobusywatchingher.Shecanusemorethanonepoweratatimenow!"
"I need her. She's too powerful to waste. Pietro, I want you to go get my good friend Mastermind."
"Okay."
"Colussus, Sabretooth."
"Yes?"
"Da?"
"I want you to find Sage and bring her here to me. I'm going to need her as well. Don't let her argue with you."
The two left without a word.
"Gambit?"
"Yes, mon ami?"
"Retrieve the rogue. I give you four days. That should be sufficient time for you to find out when she's alone and take her. Do not underestimate her, she is very powerful now."
"Don't worry about it homme. Jes leave the femme to Remy."
-_-_-_-
thats it for now!
