Rogue sighed as she wiped a trickle of sweat off her forehead. She cursed as she stumbled on a rock. "I hate this." She grumbled. She had been walking for at least half an hour in the blazing heat and she didn't even know where she was going. She knew that she just needed to get away from everyone.
From Scott and Jean who were sickly sweet to each other.
From Kurt who kept referring to her as "big sis" despite the knowledge that Mystique had adopted her therefore making her and Kurt only adoptively related.
From Kitty and Evan and the rest of them who kept asking if she was okay, if she needed something because she looked pale, because she look like she was about to pass out.
From the professor who seemed to want answers from her.
Answers that she didn't have.
She looked up and saw the Brotherhood house that was practically falling apart. She saw the TV fly out the window and heard Lance yell something about being irresponsible and Mystique killing them for trashing her house.
She took a deep breath, walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell.
"Who the hell is it?" Lance screeched from presumably the top of the stairs.
The door flung open and Pietro stood in front of her, a stunned expression on his face with was a cross between shock and a slight hint of fear.
"Hi." Rogue managed to muster up. She felt incredibly stupid for not having a valid excuse for being there.
He stammered for a bit then yelled at the guys. "Roguey's home!" He bellowed leading her in, a smile plastered on his face.
She nodded as everyone ran towards her to greet her.
"Hey, good to see ya, Roguey!" Blob said from the top of the stairs.
"How are they treating you over at the x geeks?" Lance asked as he walked around the room, picking up the mess on the floor. She shrugged her shoulders.
"You come to live with us, Roguey?" Todd asked.
"I don't know." Rogue answered.
"Ok." Pietro said. "Well, there's leftover pizza, if you want some." He said, frowning at the stale bread. "Never mind." He mumbled.
"So..............." Blob said and the whole room fell into an uneasy silence.
"I should go." Rogue said hastily.
"No! No! Stay!" Everyone said, protesting.
"Okay. I just don't want to bother you but I can't go back to the mansion."
"Did they hurt you?" Lance asked angrily.
"No. They're just acting all nice and asking if I'm alright all the time." She replied. "Being all careful around me."
"Oh, the whole pity treatment." Pietro said and Rogue nodded, glad that someone understood.
Ever since she lost control of her powers and shifted back and forth to the people she touched and destroyed half of Bayville and almost all her friends, nothing has been the same.
She felt paranoid, insane, and delusional. She felt so out of touch with reality that she wanted to tear herself into pieces and just die on the bed that the professor, backed up with Logan and Storm, insisted she sleep in for at least a few weeks to heal herself.
"So, since you're here, you want to help us clean up or something because Mystique just might walk in anytime and see this place a mess." Lance asked.
"And kill all of you for trashing her house." She smiled, slightly wincing at the mention of her mother's name, as she got up. "Ok, let's clean up." She said clapping her hands together, watching them spread out.
Rogue smiled as she picked up the dirty laundry on the floor, grateful for the Brotherhood for treating her like usual, like she wasn't a fragile porcelain doll that just might fall off the shelf and break anytime.
"This place could look nice if you just changed the paint and added nice furniture." She whispered to herself as she stared at the torn out wall with the peeling wallpaper. The wall started to shift, the wallpaper began to disappear and new beige paint appeared.
"Holy Shit!" Todd yelled, startling her.
"What happened?" Lance asked.
"Roguey, she.....she...holy...did anybody see that?" He asked loudly, stuttering in pure shock.
Rogue backed away, her hand to her mouth, also in shock. "I did that?" She said to herself as she looked back at the tattered wall.
"Did what?" Blob asked as he munched on the bag of chips that he found in the corner.
"Do it again! Show them!" Todd asked excitedly.
"Do what again! Todd, what are you talking about?" Lance demanded, getting slightly peeved.
"She changed the wall. How the hell did you do that?" Todd asked, his eyes wide, his curiosity so obvious to everyone else who unfortunately thought he finally lost it.
"Just do what you did before." Todd urged and Rogue nodded hesitantly as she turned to face the wall. She stared at it for a few minutes, waiting for it to do its thing.
But nothing.
"Okay then." Lance said walking away.
"I don't understand. I saw it. Roguey?" Todd said.
She shrugged her shoulders, feeling more confused than ever.
"Hey, it'll come back to you. Whatever it is." Pietro said, touching her shoulder.
Rogue shrugged his hand off as she stepped closer to the wall, her annoyance growing from the fact that she couldn't do what Todd wanted her to do.
She saw it. She knew something happened before. The wall changed, just like she wanted it to. She didn't care how or why. She just wanted to do it again.
She pressed her bare hand on the wall, shutting her eyes to shut them out, to concentrate on her thoughts.
Change dammit! She mentally yelled at the wall. She felt her hand tremble, followed by the gasps from the guys behind her.
"I knew it!" Todd yelped happily.
She forced herself to open her eyes, to see what she had done to cause such uproar. She gasped, stepping back, amazed at what she had created. The once bleak, tattered shabby wall was now restored, beige paint with wooden borders and all.
"How did you-"
"I don't know." She replied, a smile creeping on her face. "That was amazing." She said grinning at her wondrous discovery.
"Guys and girl don't just stand here all day. We have to-" Lance said but he cut himself off when he realized that the whole room looked completely different except for the mess on the floor.
"She did it." Blob said proudly, pointing a chubby finger at Rogue who smiled hesitantly.
"You have new powers?" He asked.
"No. Yes. I don't know." She replied. "I....I don't understand." She said looking at her bare hands which were now trembling.
Lance smiled and hugged her. "Maybe it's from your power surge last month." He said proudly. "I don't really care. But your new power is great since it pretty much fixed the walls." He smiled.
"Do you think you can't fix the bathroom?" Pietro asked with a sly grin.
"No, way in hell, Pietro. No way in hell." She smiled as she proceeded to the kitchen.

The professor looked out the window, his face grim and deep in thought.
"She's becoming more powerful." He said to Storm who was standing by the door. "I can sense it."
"What do we do?" She asked.
"We have to control her. She might lose control. This is what I feared." He whispered.
"Magneto will want her." Storm declared.
"Yes, and so will every other mutant who wants to take over this world." Xavier said grimly, fear reflected on his eyes. "Or worse, destroy it."
