Yeah, finally I can write a new chapter, my telephone line was down yesterday so a delay. I hope this one will be better and not too confusing. Thanks to all those who gave me reviews, ecspecially about Altavista.com! Yumiko, ishandahalf, Tokyobabe2040, Sarah-Crysala, Rogue15, DaughterofDeath and everyone else who reviewed thanks a lot for the suggestions and the comments! I really appreciate it and I'll try my best for this one.

Rogue woke up earlier than usual. Usually she'd wake up early to put on her makeup and train in the Danger Room, but today was different, today she felt...different, powerful even.

//Wake up, shugah//

" Blaire?" Rogue asked groggily.

// Yup, it's me. I had to wake you up early. I'm going to help you out, darling, just trust me okay?//

Rogue hesittated. Not that she didn't want to trust her, but no psyche in her mind had ever tried to actually help her before. Usually they tried to take over her body.

//Don't worry about that shugah. My time is over, yours is here, now get up go to that Danger Room o' yours, I'm going to show you something//

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Rogue protectively wrapped her arms around herself. Blaire had convinced her to come out without her regular full clothing, just a black tank top, her black pants and combat boots, and, of course, her makeup. She'd only given in because no one was up, but as soon as they did.

//You worry to damn much. Lighten up//

" Ah'm sorry if I'm worried about sucking the life outta people." Rogue snapped.

Blaire chuckled in her mind.

// Alright shugah, about these powers of yours, I think I know how to control them.//

Rogue was silent.

// My powers allow me to manipulate mutant powers, allowng them to grow stronger or..weaker. If you learn how to use my powers, then you can use them to control your own.// Blaire said.

" Why would you do this for me? Ah did, after all..kill ya." Rogue whispered.

//Hahaha! Kill me? Get over it it's been done, I've gotten over it.// Blaire chuckled again and Rogue began to ponder if she was crazy.

" You didn't answer ma question, why do ya wantta help meh?"

The chuckling stoppd and a regretful sigh replaced it. // Because I know how you feel. You'e seen my memories Rogue, don't you know why?//

" Ah wasn't paying attention at the time, Ah was tryin' ta get ya off a meh, 'member?"

// Well..along time ago, when I was ten, I found out that I could detect other mutants and manipulate their powers. My mommah.. was a mutant, she had small elemental powers. When my powers manifested..I manipulated her powers, causing her elemental powers to fly out of control and she..wasn't able to control it, she-she died under the pressure of her own powers. I had killed her..//

// My father sent me to an orphanage where I was adopted by a man named Greggory Clyde. He used my powers for his own advantage. I became his own personal assassin, using my powers to manipulate other mutant's powers to my advantage, and my assassin skills to kill humans. I was a destructive killing machine. For so long I have been a killer, using my powers and skills for my own personal gain. But if I could just- for once, use my powers and skills to help others, I would. Besides, I like ya, ya got a lot of spunk, you deserve to be happy.//

Blaire said and perked up into her regular self.

" Thank you, Blaire. And you're not a killer." Rogue said.

//Yes I am Rogue, but you're not. Don't ever be.//

The man was small and stocky, his face rugged and his reddish orange hair was greased down upon his thick head. His eyes were viscious gray predators behind silver spectacles and his nose was thin and crooked. He was wearing an extremely expensive suit with brown alligator shoes and a golden watch hanging out of his right pocket.

Before him was a small woman with brown eyes and a bruised face. Once she saw him she screamed and began to squirm around helplessly against the bars that chained her down to the metal table.

" Aaah, Ms. Munroe, how are you doing today?" He asked sarcastically.

" You sick bastard, what do you want from me?" She cursed.

" Only your cooperation." He said with a smile.

" Never! You sick bastard you killed my son!"

" He was of no importance, he was human. No point in worrying over him." The man said.

" I will not help you. Damn you! Damn you to hell!" The woman spat in his face and began to try and squirm again.

" I wish you would have been cooperative, Ms. Munroe, then I wouldn't have to do this." He turned behind him to the surgeons and nodded, stepping backwards.

" Please, just calm down." The first surgeon said calmly as he picked up the long sharp instrument and held it methodically above her forehead.

" This won't hurt..that much."

Do you like so far? In the next chapter there's more action! I gotta get some stuff outta the way though. Review and place any suggestions or request I'll see to it if I can. Also: should Rogue be with or without the makeup? I'm thinking on removing it.... I hope no part was confusing!!!
