Part 2

They had had the blonde stranger for about a day, and he still remained unconscious. They found that he had no pulse, and thought he was dead, but Charles Xavier told them to keep him, that he could still sense something in the man. None of them understood what Xavier meant, but they all listened to him anyway. That was when he dragged all the confused and curious X-Men into a his small, secluded office.
"Okay" Logan began "I gotta ask, why are we keeping a dead guy?"
Xavier smiled "Haven't you wondered about why he was the only person laying in that crater, without a scratch on him, after a supernatural explosion?"
Sometimes Chuck really put things into perspective Logan thought.
"I sense workings in his mind, signals, I tried to read his mind, it was scattered like yours Logan, but it was alive"
"So, his minds alive, but his body is dead....."
"Like a zombie" Bobby commented
"Like a drop-dead gorgeous zombie" Rogue said under her breath, hoping the half-alive, half-dead man would awake.
Logan caught Rogue's and smirked- again.
"We'll give him time" Xavier said and exited the room, leaving all the X- Men extremely curious.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Rogue sat in a chair next to the mysterious man, in the hospital wing of the school. She had waited next to him for hours now, waiting for him to wake up. Hoping he would get up, and unravel this mystery- she was so intrigued by him. He had been stripped of his shirt and duster, revealing a beautiful, pale, muscular chest. She sighed, and couldn't resist running her hands over it. So beautiful. Rogue didn't realize his eyes had opened. He grabbed her gloved hand hard, but lightened his grip when she gasped. He was cold to the touch, and she was warm. She looked into his clear blue eyes, and they just stood like that for almost a minute, holding hands, and looking into each other's eyes. Just then, the door opened and Logan walked in, breaking the moment. He raised an eyebrow.
"I see you're awake"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
Logan had brought Charles Xavier in with him, he was anxious to see the mysterious man.
"Hello" He greeted looking at the confused blonde.
"Where the 'ell am I?" The blonde asked in a slightly raspy accented voice.
Rogue could get used to that voice.
"Xavier's School for the Gifted" Charles Xavier replied
"Right, thanks mate" He replied sitting up.
"You can call me Charles, may I ask who you are?" Xavier asked
His clear blue eyes clouded over with confusion "I honestly don't know"
"Like amnesia?" Rogue asked
"Exactly, pet" He said with a wink. Rogue blushed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------
Xavier explained to the blonde stranger that this was a school for mutants, and that he could stay here if he wanted. He agreed. The blonde stranger's situation was explained to him- that Xavier didn't think he was human, probably a mutant, and the story of finding him in the remains of Sunnydale. The blonde didn't seem scared, just mildly surprised, just accepting everything without a lot of questions. He also requested a room next to Rogue's- he liked that girl, felt a connection. Charles Xavier looked at him curiously but allowed it, since Rogue had no objections. Xavier offered to help the stranger with his past, and he accepted gratefully.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------
Rogue looked up when she heard someone knocking on her door. She opened her door to see the intriguing blonde stranger.
"Can I come in..." he didn't think he caught her name, he just said 'her' when he asked to be roomed next to her, and Charles knew who he was talking about.
"Rogue, or Marie" she answered his silent question with a smile and moved out of the way so he could walk in "What should I call you, since you don't remember your name?"
"I dunno he said, make up something" He replied, sitting on her bed, and patting the spot next to her.
"How about- Blondie?" She asked
He smirked "Blondie?"
She nodded
"I don't think so- not manly enough"
Rogue laughed
"Not manly enough?" Rogue laughed again "Do you have any identification- something that has your name on it?"
"Afraid not"
"We're gonna have to stick with Blondie then" She said with a giggle
"Fine" He said seriously "But you are the only one allowed to call me that, and that's only until I can get another name- deal?"
"Deal" she answered, shaking his hand, forgetting she had taken her gloves off. She was smiling until she realized that fact, and then looked down amazed, not letting go of his hand. He raised an eyebrow and her shocked expression.
"I can touch you"
"Yeah.and?"
"Well, you know I'm a mutant, right?"
He nodded
"My ability is that I can take other mutants powers, suck them right out by touching them, so if I touch other people or mutants, I end up hurting them" She explained
"Wait, since you're not able to touch anyone, how can you... wouldn't that make you v-"
"Yes" She answered quickly, blushing and avoiding his gaze. She looked up and his eyes had darkened considerably.
"I think it might have to do with me not having a pulse, I bet your powers only work on the living" He said with a wicked grin.
"Yeah, I don't think I've ever touched a dead guy before" she said with a flirtatious smile
"And you don't mind that?" he asked
"Not at all" she said, running her bare hands over the scar on his eyebrow. "Not at all"
