Authors Note: Here are a few more notes I made about my story. I picture
Rogue's "Armor" as appearing sort of like the way Mystique changes her body
to look like different things. Also, I picture Logan being present in the
danger room when the incident occurred, but now is out. I figure he now
lives at the school and trains with the X-men.
Chapter Two
Three hours later, as Bobby made his way through his tenth training exercise, he was starting to regret agreeing to become part of the X-men team. He was breathing so rapidly, he sounded like a train. He also felt for sure that his legs would fall off from all the jumping and running he was doing. As a large circular gun shot a metal disk at Bobby, he used his power to freeze objects, to stop the disk from flying at his head. He shot a blast of sleet at the disk, which quickly froze over and harmlessly fell to the ground. He turned around, and saw Rogue dodging a large group of metal hoses. To her right were Piotr and Professor Summers testing out Piotr's body shielding. As Professor Summers shot laser beams at Piotr he changed the amount of force to a higher or lower degree.
Bobby turned back to where the metal disks were flying from, and tried to concentrate on dodging them without worrying about his friends. He had just stopped his fifth disk when he heard Rogue scream oh no. He turned around and saw her tangled up in the metal hoses. He started to laugh, but stopped when he saw her face change.
He could only describe her as mean. Her face started to frown, and then it seemed like it was straining at something. A few seconds later her eyes turned completely black, and seemed to bulge out of her head. Bobby was afraid she was suffocating and rushed over to try and help her but was stopped by Professor Xavier's voice.
"Wait Bobby." He said. "Let's wait and see what is happening to her."
As the rest of the activity in the danger room became still, all its occupants watched as Rogue struggled with the metal roped. The group only had to wait about thirty seconds until something happened. Rogue gave a loud cry and her body lurched as a black metallic substance appeared all over her body. Everyone in the danger room stared as a few seconds later the ropes binding Rogue disintegrated and dropped her to the floor. As soon as she hit the floor, they watched as the black metallic substance covering her body seemed to evaporate into her skin.
When Bobby rushed up to her and grabbed her hand, he didn't think about the fact that he was touching her without having his life force sucked out of him. All he knew was that Rogue was hurt and unconscious. It was only until Dr. Grey came up to check Rogue's pulse that Bobby realized he was touching her without being hurt.
An hour later, Rogue woke up in the school hospital to a pounding headache, and a reception committee that included Dr. Grey, Professor Xavier and Bobby. As she sat up she looked around and realized where she was, but didn't know how she had got ten there. She was about to ask what had happened, but was interrupted by Professor Xavier.
"How are you feeling Rogue? For a few seconds there we were wondering if you were going to make it."
"All right I guess. What happened, how did I get here?" Rogue asked. She could remember up until the ropes twisting around her, but then she had no memories of anything else. Rogue looked over to Bobby but was only met with a small smile.
"To put it delicately, I believe your mutant powers have evolved Rogue." Professor Xavier stated. "As you know, here at the school we teach young mutants to control and expand their powers. It seems that yours have advanced on their own. When you were in the danger room, your skin took on a sort of black armor and disintegrated the metal ropes that were holding you. You then fell to the floor where we realized you were unconscious."
When Professor Xavier finished speaking, Rogue just sat on the hospital bed and couldn't believe what had happened. She knew that it was big news for her powers to expand, and hoped that her life would not be even more complicated than it already was. "So you are saying that my powers have expanded and I can now affect metal?"
"Yes. But I am afraid that is not the only advancement that has been puzzling us all." Professor Xavier stated knowing what he was about to tell Rogue would change her life importantly. "When we had bent down to check on you, you no longer had your gloves on your hands. We had to check your pulse, and Dr. Grey took the chance with her bare hands. When she touched your skin, we realized that your skin had no affect on her."
As Professor Xavier's words sunk into Rogue's brain, she felt shocked and couldn't believe that her one wish had actually come true. "Are you sure?" Rogue asked hoping that this wasn't some sick twisted joke.
"Yes, I am sure." Professor Xavier said. "Now I want you to get some rest and we will continue our discussion tomorrow."
As Professor Xavier turned his wheelchair and left the room, Rogue noticed Bobby at her side.
"I'll help you up to your room. Congratulations." He said gingerly to her. "When you are ready, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here."
"Thank you Bobby, I'll be sure to take you up on that offer." As Bobby walked with Rogue up to her room, they both knew that her life was about to change. They also knew that this would open up a whole new door for her.
