The two, Kurt and Amanda, where driving back to the institute, Amanda stopped crying. This was good because Kurt could barely handle it anymore. The drove in silence until...

"Kurt, I know I wanted to see the institute, but I really didn't mean in this way. Am I going to have to live there, I mean I guess it would be okay, but I am just not used to it. I could never go home. I mean my dad died a long time ago and now my... I really have no where else to go."

"Don't worry Amanda, you will like it there, maybe you could room with me that would be awesome, right? I guess if Jean moved in with Scott, and we went into Jeans room, she has her own room for some odd reason, and then we probably could do that."

"Yea, that would be cool. So, how long till we..." Amanda stopped when she saw the giant mansion. She had never seen a house so big before.

"You live here?"

"Yup! It is pretty big isn't it? It doesn't seem so big from the inside, where there are plenty of mutants. You will like it here. You will be able to learn to control your powers and be able to use them toward you benefit, and maybe you could become a member of the X-Men! That would be so cool!"

"Yea..." Just then Amanda and Kurt walked in through the front door. Amanda ducked instantly as a young girl with blond hair shot five little glowing TNT balls there way. Kurt, being careful not to touch Amanda's skin grabbed her shirt and teleported them to the stairs.

"TABITHA!? It is just me and Amanda! Why do you have to do that every time someone walking into the door?"

"Hey short, blue and furry! Well, what if you where one of the brotherhood, wait I used to be them, okay what is you where magneto? Or some other person out to kill us? I just want to keep them on there toes ya know?"

"Sure, sure, oh Amanda this is Tabitha, or as we all call her, Boom Boom."

"Nice to meet ya!" Tabitha stuck out her hand to shake Amanda's hand, but Amanda jerked her hand behind her back.

"No touching me, that is the rule"

"Why? You like Rouge? She can't touch nobody either."

"Yea, something like that. Kurt?" She turned towards him "Don't I have to meet this professor person?"

"Oh yea, do you want to go the long way for the short way?" Kurt asked

Amanda smiled, which she hadn't don't in a long time. "The short way!" Kurt grabbed her sleeve and with a puff of black smoke they where gone. They reappeared next to the professor in his office. She accidentally slipped and was about to touch him when Rogue stepped forth and pushed her hand away. Now you think why she did that, Rogue knows she can't touch other people, and knows Amanda can't touch other people, without them her flames killing them. So why did she do it? Because she thought I was worth it to risk her own life to save the professors.

"Hey? Why didn't you burst into flames? I mean it isn't like I wanted you to, but how come? You are Rogue right? You can't touch people either? Then how come we are touching each other and nothing is happening?"

"Yea, professor, Amanda is right, how come we aren't, bursting into flames, or having her powers absorbed?"

"Well, Amanda and Rogue look at each other, well look at Rogue, you see her skin making those bumpy lines on her face, well that is what happened when she touches some one else, and Amanda if you look at your arm you will see that you are on fire. I don't want to alarm you though, but you are on fire. It seems since neither of you can touch other people, when you touch each other your powers are effecting yourselves. Rogue, you can't absorb your own power and since you seen to be able to control your powers a little bit, you aren't dieing from the flames. This is fascinating!"
