An: Well this is just to get it off my mind so if you like just let me know.

' Thoughts '

The guy who Rogue spoke to turned around to reveal someone who looked familiar. He was young looking with a well-built body like Remy. He wore a big brown leather jacket with a lot of zippers, he also had dark denim pants on and leather biker boots with leather gloves, and black glasses. What was so familiar to Rogue was that he had brown hair with two white streaks in it, just like hers.

"Um. Rogue hi my name really isn't Drew," he didn't have time to say anything else Rogue took the fighting position. "No need to worry that was just in case the line was bugged I'm really Nathan Christopher Charles Summers also known as Cable," he held out his hand.

Rogue stood up straight and visibly relaxed then shook his hand. "So tell me about yourself ah don't think it is fair that you know abut meh."

"Of course," he laughed. "I'm a mutant my physical attributes have been enhanced to super human levels. I have vast telepathic and telekinetic abilities. I have a techno-organic left arm and right eye. My eye can see through things." He answered and took off his glasses.

His eyes were closed and then he opened them. He had a blue eye and a solid red eye. "Did I mention that I can shoot a laser beam through my right eye," he said.

"You look like meh but you also remind me of someone else but ahm not sure who it is," Rogue said.

Nathan shifted nervously then spoke," You know I have always hated the way I look with the hair but on you it looks beautiful."

Rogue wanted to say something back but he was being honest not cocky or anything. She stayed quiet for a bit but he broke the silence. "Do you know self defense?" he asked. ' Again with the questions ' Rogue thought.

"Did it look like ah knew what ah was doin' when ah was about 't' attack you?"

"Okay here inside id=s a ring that can help you control your powers. What it does is makes your power grow like they would as you got older but just faster without the ageing. I think it will fit," he said as he held out a small black box.

Rogue grabbed it then took off her glove and put it on then pulled the glove over it. It fit and was silver with an almost dirty cream diamond on it. "What is your power?" he asked.

"Thought you knew."

"No only knew that you had no control," he said interested in what her power was.

"Well ah can't have physical contact with anybody unless ah want 't' absorb their life force. If ah do absorb a humans life force ah have there memories inside me and for a short time ah have there physical appearances and abilities. If ah were 't' absorb a mutant like yourself ah would take some physical appearances, temporarily have you power under mah control and the bad thing about mah powers besides the fact that ah can't touch is that the people ah absorb stay in mah head," Rogue explained trying not to sound bitter and avoiding eye contact.

She after a while looked up at him expecting to see sympathy but instead she saw him looking proudly at her, like a father would look at their child after finding out they were smart enough to go to collage or something along those lines. Rogue was taken back but looked at him longer to see if he would look at her in a different way.

"What are ya lookin' meh like that for?" Rogue asked angrily.

"How long?"

"How long?" Rogue asked.

"Yeah how long have you gone with out touching?" he said calmly.

"Sic years. Now answer mah question," she demanded.

"It is just amazing that you have gone that long living like this and your still sane. And your strong willed I can tell."

"Shut-up!" Rogue snapped then smiled apologeticly.

Nathan grinned," You don't get told that a lot do you? Well it's true though so I'm gonna say it till you are tired of hearing it okay?" he felt corny but that feeling vanished once she smiled a real smile.

"So.um.thanks ah guess. Do you know what time it is?"

"Past 10:00 why do you need a ride home?" he asked.

"No just tired is all," she responded.

"Yes well if you would meet me here tomorrow but just tell me what time is accurate."

"Well ah have school tomorrow so how about after school Friday ah mean tomorrow well same thing." Rogue said feeling nervous in his presence.

He smiled then walked in one direction then Rogue did the same and suddenly she heard," Your beautiful you know that."

She shook her head and turned a corner but when she did she walked into someone. She looked up to apologize but who she saw made her frown.

"Does Remy need 't' keep a closer eye on his chere? He was hitting on you who is he?" he wasn't mad but just curious.

Rogue narrowed her eyes. ' Does he think he owns me or somethin'? how dare he. ' "Ahm not your anything but your enemy now what did you hear?" she demanded.

"Just the last part. Boyfriend?"

"Bye," Rogue began to walk away and of course Remy followed.

"Ya wound me chere," he mocked hurt.

"Not enough obviously if your follwin' meh," she spat out.

Remy was about to respond when there was aloud beeping noise coming from his jacket," Sorry chere Remy is needed now but he sure he see you tomorrow."

Rogue turned around and knew he was already gone then she headed back for the mansion n=knowing she would be late. She sighed as the mansion came into view and jogged to the door. When she opened it she spotted Logan and Scott waiting for her, but she felt like they weren't there.

"Where have you been Rogue?" Scott demanded.

"Extra danger room session now," Logan growled in disapproval.

Rogue nodded," Let meh get dressed first, oh hi Scott how's it going?" The fact that she might beable to control her powers had just hit her.

Logan blinked and Scott gave an uneasy smile. Rogue walked up the steps and into her room. Kitty was sleeping already so rogue dressed quietly then went to the danger room. She opened the door but nobody was there so she walked in further.

"ARRRGHHHH!!!!!!!" Logan growled as he jumped for Rogue.

Rogue wa shocked she didn't expect thet who would. They both rolled to the other side of the room. Rogue realized what was going on and while Logan was on top of her she pulled her knees to her chest and pushed her feet hard on Logan's chest and he went flying, ' Whoa that has never happened before ' Rogue thought. She knew that wasn't her strenghth but pushed her thoughts aside. She did a flip and landed on her feet. When rogue looked up there were two Logans and they attacked her. Rogue out of nowhere was coming up with moves that her favorite characters like Jackie Chan and Chun- Li could do. She was hitting hard like the Blob and hitting fast with the speed of Pietro. To her thing were happening but in slow motion, Logan was keeping up fine but it was taking a little more concentration than usual. He was surprised and proud but he would not show it. The fighting repeated for hours and they were both whipped even Logan with his healing power. Soon they heard the bell ring in the living room telling them that it was midnight. They silently agreed to stop.

"Where have you been training and with who," Logan growled.

"What nobody," Rogue snapped.

She wasn't tired so she took a shower hoping she would be tired after wards. Then she dressed in some sweat pants and a tube top. When taking a shower didn't work and when she thought she had nothing else to do she took out a piece of paper and colored pencils. She began to draw her dream outfit thinking that they would never be able to make it. She finished after only half an hour and decided to get something to drink.

She poured her self some soda and headed out the door but as she was the door opened knocking her down. She squeased her eyes shut waiting for the fall but instead she felt someone grab her arm, her uncovered arm. Nothing was felt at first then it was like walking across the room in some sock then touching the doorknob. It was only a shock that never went away and the thing was Rogue didn't feel anything absorbing just that shocking pain. She pulled her arm away.

"Sorry Ororo," Rogue felt like crying.

"How?" was all she managed to say.

"Please don't say anything, I've been practicing privately it's a surprise please," Rogue begged.

Ororo was silent then she caught her voice," O-okay Rogue but what happened I mean I feel like nothing was absorbed."

"let meh just say ah powers are sorta bein' forced to be controlled."

"That's great that you controlling them better," and with that she went in the freezer and pulled out a bucket of ice cream and then a spoon and began to eat.

Rogue stared at her like she just became a man. Ororo ate so fast like she hadn't had sweets before then she noticed Rogue staring at her. "What! I haven't had anything sweet for at least a month and I have a sweet tooth. Want some?" she offered.

Rogue walked to her and took a bite," No thanks." Then she left.

Rogue went to sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
