Chapter 3

We finally finished the project, and headed home. I remembered my plan about talking to the Professor, so I hurried to the Professor as soon as we got home. I knocked on his door.

"Come in, Rogue!" he said. I didn't see a point in asking him how he knew it was me, be, him being a telepath and all.

"Professor, Ah need your help. Ah was wonderin if there was a way to get rid of mah mutation?" I asked him, hoping he'd say yes. All my problems would be solved.

"I know why you've come to this decision. I have been thinking of your 'problem' for a long time." said the Professor.

"Ya' have? And..?" I asked with a surprised face and widened eyes.

"I'm sorry. It seems the only way out is through. You have to train your powers until you have total control over them." My hopeful smile quickly turned into depression, knowing my chances with Scott just flew out the window. "Now., you won't have to do it by yourself. After all, that's why you're here. We're all here to help. But your power needs time to evolve..." and so he carried on, but I really didn't care. My case was helples.

"Rogue, you are free to go."

"Thanks." I walked calmly out of his office and then ran through the empty hallways until I reached my room.

Where is everybody? I wondered and looked out the window. It was dark outside, the sun went down without me noticing it. Everyone was outside, talking. I decided to go down and see what was going on. I asked Kitty, and she told me Duncan was having a party and they were all going.

"Are you coming?" she asked me, her eyes glowing with the usual happines. Hatered filled me, anger, but I didn't yell at her. I knew better.

"Nah. I'll skip this tahme." With this I walked back to m room, lay down on my bed, and started to listen to some music. Walked b the window. I watched Scott flirting with Jean, forgetting all about me. But he was happy. And after all that's what I want. I want him to be happy. Maybe I never should've left the Brotherhood.

Someone knocked on the door. "Rogue?" It was Ororo. "You've got mail." She said with a smirk and gave me a postcard.

Happy birthday, Rogue.

I haven't forgotten you.

Love,

Warren.
