Rogue sat outside the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters engrossed in a novel beneath the shade of a large oak tree. A warm breeze blew softly across the grounds of the Institute, embracing her, then gently caressing her hair before leaving on its way. Rogue savored the sensation as it passed. Enjoying nature was a pleasure that didn't frequent the inhabitants of the Xavier Institute. Seeing that the world was kept safe from harm required much time and after that was through there was little time for anything else. The soft sound of imploding air and the aroma of brimstone abruptly adjourned the moment.

"Hey sis, how's it going?" Kurt asked. "Are your feeling better?"

"Yeah, I'm better," Rogue answered. "Much better."

"That's good. I'm glad to hear it," Kurt nodded and gave his trademark thumbs up. A moment of silence passed between the two siblings. Kurt broke the silence with the question Rogue had hoped he wouldn't ask.

"What was bothering you this morning Rogue? If you don't want to talk about it, that's ok, but I mean, I'm your brother. If any one understands what you're going through, I do. I want to help you if I can."

The tone of her brother's voice and the look in his golden eyes was sincere. It didn't seem to matter to Kurt that she was adopted. He seemed to really care about her regardless. Maybe she could trust Kurt with her secret. However, before Rogue had the chance to explain herself, a voice spoke via telepathy. Professor Xavier spoke in his commanding, yet gentle tone. "X-Men, report to the den immediately for an important meeting."

"Let's go sis," Kurt said placing a hand on Rogue's shoulder and with a sound only to be described as "bamf," the two were off to the meeting.

* * * "What's this meeting about Professor?" came the question from Scott.

"Yeah, like, what's up?" inquired Kitty.

"Nothing of great emergency X-Men. I just wanted to inform you of a new mutant signature Cerebro just picked up. He enrolled recently at Bayville High."

"Who is this dude?" Evan interrupted.

"His name is Remy LeBeau. He's from New Orleans, LA. He has the potential to be very dangerous."

"Tell me about it," Rogue mumbled. "He had almost every girl in first period hanging all over him!"

Professor Xavier gave a light chuckle. "Well, I mean dangerous in light of his mutant abilities. He is able to create kinetic energy, transfer it to any object he touches and when he releases, create explosions."

"The guy sounds like a real bombshell," commented Kurt.

"That he is." Rogue thought then suddenly remembered that it is a bad idea to think private thoughts in the presence of telepaths.

"I want you all to try to keep an eye on him," the Professor continued. "Befriend him if possible. I hope he would like to join us here at the Institute."

"I would too," Rogue thought. "Maybe it would take his mind off Brittany McKinnley."

"Glad you agree Rogue," came the telepathic voice of the Professor. He gave a mischievous grin as he said, "That will be all X-Men. You are dismissed."

Do you think this is great and wondrous? Do you think this is the most horrible piece of writing you have ever read? Let me know! I appreciate positive reviews and constructive criticism! R&R! ~ Yelhsa D
