Rogue sighed as she rolled over on her side. She couldn't sleep not matter how hard she had tried. She kept hoping the professor would call her into his office and say he's discovered a way for her to touch people and not hurt them. She and the professor has discussed it when she had came back to the mansion. Sure she was only gone for about a day or so, but it seemed so much longer. She didn't want to tell anyone cause she didn't want to get they're hopes up if it didn't work 'Rogue are you awake?'
'Yes, professor.'
'Please come downstairs.'
Rogue sighed, put on her robe and went downstairs quietly. she saw Ororo and Logan standing next to the professor. "Yes?"
"I believe I may have found a way for you to control your power." Professor Xavier said smiling as he handed back her necklace. He had asked for it earlier that week to try something. "Put it on."
Rogue was very skeptical but did as she was told. I felt nice to have it back, like a security blanket sort of thing. "Now I want you to touch Logan."
"Ah'll hurt him."
"Come on stripes. Do this and then we can all go back to bed." Logan told her.
Rogue looked at Ororo who nodded smiling. "Okay." She said moving towards Logan and took off her glove. She touched the side of Logan's face waiting for a reaction, but never got one. "How?"
"I was able to make a device and planted it in your necklace, Rogue. It will allow you to touch people, but it is only the first step. We'll see and if you can control your power we won't need it any more."
"Are ya serious? Ah can touch people now an` also use mah power?"
The professor nodded. "Now touch Logan again and concentrate."
Rogue hesitated before stepping near Logan again not really wanting his memories in her or his power, but did as she was told once again. She concentrated her mind when she touched Logan's face with her ungloved hand. Pulling back quickly as Logan fell to the ground. "Ah uh...."
"It's all right." Ororo said. "Logan will be fine. Go on up to bed. we can tell everyone the good news in the morning before school."
Rogue smiled and hurried off to her room, smiling as she fell asleep. Now ah can kiss Peitro without hurtin` him, she thought.
Kitty's alarm went off as she groaned softly knowing it was a school day. she looked across the room at Rogue who was still sleeping, but seemed to be smiling. she crept over to her friends bed. "Rogue wake up?"
"Go away." Rogue mumbled.
"No way, I want to know like how your date went last night."
Rogue opened her eyes. "Do ya trust me?"
"Like sure." Kitty said.
Rogue sighed as she took off her glove under the covers and touched Kitty's arm. Kitty gasped waiting for her power to be sucked from her, but it never came. "Huh?"
"Professor found a sort of cure kind of."
Kitty squealed happily. "This is like totally great. Now you need a new wardrobe and everything."
"Kitty, ah'm not changin` my wardrobe cause ah can touch people now."
Kitty pouted. "For like today then?"
"Fine."
"Be right back." Kitty said phasing through the door and into Jean's room. "Wake up Jean!"
Jean gasped and sat up. "What's wrong?"
"Come on." she said grabbing her arm phasing through her door and into her own room. "Show her Rogue."
Rogue sighed. "No one's supposed to know till breakfast."
"Show me what?" Jean asked as she gasped when Rogue touched her arm and nothing happened. "The professor made a device?"
Rogue nodded. "And now we like need her in new clothes."
"Morning Auntie O." Evan said sitting in his chair. He looked and also saw Logan, the professor, Scott, and Kurt sitting down too. "Where's the girls?"
Logan chuckled. "Finding some clothes for school."
"Vhy vould they need to find clothes for school?"
Scott shrugged. "Maybe there's a new guy at school they want to impress."
"Not funny." Kurt told Scott.
"I'll be back." Ororo said heading upstairs and knocked on Kitty's and Rogue's door. "Girls may i come in?"
"Sure." She heard Jean say.
Ororo walked in and shut the door behind her. "So I take it they know?" She asked Rogue.
"Yeah an` now ah hafta wear new clothes to school today."
"Found it!" Kitty said happily practically bouncing all over the room as she put a long blue skirt on the bed with a light blue shirt. "Try it on."
Rogue looked at Ororo and Jean for help which she didn't get any. "Fine." She said trying on the outfit. "Well?"
Jean smiled as did Kitty. "You look lovely." Ororo said. "Now come downstairs for breakfast before the boys eat it all."
"Vhy can't I have they're food too?" Kurt asked pouting.
"Cause we're like here." Kitty said.
Scott's mouth hung open as he saw Rogue. She wasn't in her gothic attire, except for her necklace and her make up. "Isn't that Kitty's outfit?"
"Yeah, it is." She said sitting down.
"What happened?" Evan asked noticing she didn't have any gloves on.
"I was able to make a device very much like Kurt's watch only for Rogue's power. She is able to control her power with her necklace on, with luck her body will become use to it and she'll be in enough control."
"Looks good stripes."
"Thanks, Logan."
After they finished breakfast Scott gave them all a ride to school. "So you can't use your power any more?" Kurt asked hopefully.
"Ah can use it if ah want ta." She told him. "Don` tempt me."
"No problem." Kurt sighed chuckling as she moved closer to Kitty.
"So what's the first thing your going to do?" Evan asked.
"Ah'm not sure." Rogue said seeing the Brotherhood standing around Lance's jeep.
"I think I know." Jean giggled as Rogue shot her a look.
"Okay everyone out." Scott said.
"Yo what happened to your girlfriend?" Todd asked as his eyes practically fell out of his skull.
"Huh?" Peitro asked as he turned around and gasped as he saw Rogue. She wasn't wearing her normal clothes and no gloves. "Something's up."
"Hey she is pretty eye catching now." Lance chuckled. "Hey that out fit looks familiar."
"Kitty wore it once I think." Fred said.
Rogue grabbed her pack and walked over towards the Brotherhood. "Looking good Rogue." Lance said chuckling.
"Shut up." She told him looking at Peitro. "Can ah talk with ya?"
"Sure, I guess so." He said as they went to sit on a bench outside the school. "Just to get this out, you're not dumping me are you?"
Rogue giggled. "No ah'm not dumpin` ya. Never would." She said leaning toward shim and kissed him on the lips.
Peitro looked shocked at Rogue after the kiss. "How?"
"Ah din` want to let ya know that the professor was workin` on something for me to control mah powers."
"Why?" He asked taking her ungloved hand.
"Ah didn` know if he could make somethin` or not."
Peitro smiled and touched Rogue's cheek. "You have no idea how happy I am to hear this."
Todd's mouth hung open. "Yo that is unreal."
"What is?" Lance and Fred asked Todd as they're eyes traveled to where Peitro and Rogue were. To they're surprise there were kissing. "How is that possible?"
"Cause the professor gave Rogue like something to control her powers." Kitty giggled as they turned around and saw the X-Men standing there.
"Then I take back what I told him last night." Fred said.
"Right." Scott said. "Come on, let's grab Rogue from the kiss of death and get to class."
Jean shook her head as Scott walked off. "He'll never like the idea of Rogue dating Peitro." She said as she, Evan, Kitty and Kurt followed.
"Yo I think Summers is jealous." Todd chuckled.
"That's for sure." Lance said. "I suggest keeping our eyes on him. Peitro's been in a better mood since he's been dating Rogue and Rogue's been less well bitchier towards us since then too. He's not going to ruin they're relationship."
"But you want to ruin Kurt and Kitty's." Feed said.
"That's different. Rogue was one of us at one time."
Rogue and Peitro heard someone clear they're throat and looked up. "Um.. hi Scott." Rogue said holding Peitro's hand.
"We got to get to class." He said.
Rogue sighed. "Rotten school."
Kitty giggled. "How do you like her out fit?" She asked Peitro.
"She looks great in it." Peitro said. "How did you do it?"
"She begged an` pouted till ah gave in." Rogue giggled as they both stood up. "Ah'll see ya at lunch."
"All right." Peitro said noticing Scott glaring at them and to make him mad he kissed Rogue deeply. "Just for luck."
