First of all thank you all for the reviews and to Elanor Tique, you made some good points that I never really considered, but if you continuing reading this fic, you will find out the answers to which ye seek. : )
Or yes I'm an not quite sure whether this is a Romy or a Bobby and Rogue but I can guarantee that if you continue reading you will find out. ; )
Enough waffling, now on to the story:
"Now sugah tell me what kind of power you all have," she said turning to look at Bobby
It has been one hell of 'ah night thought Rogue as she fell against the soft bed that she was staying in for the night. 'Ah wonder if Trunks managed to get everyone back safely... of course he did she thought Trunks is the greatest he will do fine.
"Rogue are you in there" said a loud voice snapping her away from her thoughts
"Yeah" she shouted back, when no one came in she said
"Are ya gonna stand outside my door all day, or are ya gonna come in" she shouted
"What, Oh sorry" said Scott as he opened the door to her room but remained standing in the doorway, as he was still a bit wary of her ability to drain people thought and memories with a single touch "Well, the professor wants you to meet him in his office"
"Why?" she asked as she sat up at the edge of her bed
"Well Kurt and Kitty have been spreading tales of you all around the mansion, and the professor figures if you don't go down stairs there gonna come up here"
"An wreck havoc righta" she asked with a smile
"Yeah" said Scott smiling back genuinely "Anyway he wants to answer some questions that his sure you have, before you meet the other students"
"All righta then give me a minute and I'll be down" she said
"Ok I'll tell him your coming then," he said as he closed the door to her room
Ah guess ah better make myself presentable then she thought to herself, as she walked over to the mirror in the corner of the room. There ain't much I can do she thought as she examined her clothes which were badly ripped and severely dirty. It wasn't that Rogue cared much about how she looked it was just that she preferred people to judge her on what she said rather than how she looked. Ah well she thought its not like I'll be staying here forever.
A soft knock came from her doorway and in came Storm with what looked like some clothes over her arms
"Here I thought you might like a change of clothes," said the white haired woman as she gave Rogue the clothes
"Thank ya... Storm" said Rogue pretty sure that that was the name Bobby told her to call her
"You welcome child, I just hope it fits," she said with a small smile
"Ah it looks about right," she said as she examined the clothes
"Good, then I guess I will be seeing you down stair shortly" she said as she exited the room
Rogue hurried to put on the new clothes, she was very grateful to Storm for lending them to her. But was also cautious she wasn't really used to people giving a second thought about her, after all she was the survivor, the leader the invincible one. She could handle anything and rarely ever asked anyone for help. Although she felt that she could trust the women whom she had meet only twice, it was because of her eyes, it seem to hold so much wisdom and compassion, compassion that Rogue had almost thought was long forgotten.....
"So Ms...Rogue I'm sure your wondering what this institute is all about?" asked the Professor
"Yeah" said Rogue who was sitting comfortably in a black arm chair in the professor office
"Well I created this place so that I can help mutants to learn to cope with there abilities. It is a place where they can be themselves without fear of discrimination a place where they can be around others like themselves".
"That sure is nice"
"Yes but that is not all we do here, a group of mature student who were given the name the name X-Men by the younger students, help to fulfil my dream that mutants and humans can live in harmony with each other"
"That sure is ah nice dream professor, but ah don't see that happening"
"Yes well there are quite a few mutants that don't believe in my dream either. They believe that mutants are superior to humans and that we mutants should use our power to dominate humans. That a war is coming and that the winning side should and will be mutants".
"Listen professor not that ah believe in that dream on nothin', but how can ya ever believe that human and mutants can ever live in harmony. I've seen a lot of bad stuff happening to mutants out there and I don't see ya dream coming true"
"You see Rogue it is human instinct to fear what they don't understand, especially when a few mutants in this institute can destroy a whole city with there eyes or mind"
"I do see ya point," said Rogue slowly "But..."
"Sorry Rogue but would you mind if I ask what you believe in?"
"What" asked Rogue a little shocked she had never really thought about what she believed in? Or what she stood for?
"Well ah I don't know what ah believe in, ah guess I just fight for mutant rights. It sure would be nice to have ah dream like yours, but like ah said I've seen to much and can't see your dream happen. All ah see righta now is two sides mutants and humans and am a mutant and ah believe that we mutants have as much right to defend ourselves as humans"
"Well Rogue I hope one day you can believe in my dream"
"Yeah maybe" replied Rogue looking out the window
"I find your mutant ability quite fascinating Rogue, do you know you have the potential to be the worlds strongest mutant" said the professor changing the subject
"Yeah" she whispered sill staring out the window
"But is seem that you lack the ability too touch. Is that not the case"?
"Yes when ah first received my abilities I couldn't touch at all, but now ah can touch for about 5 minutes"
"Can I ask you how you do it?"
"It complicated," said Rogue turning to look at the professor "it takes a lot of concentration an' mind power"
"Yes I sensed you have a strong mind with tough mental shields"
"Yeah well I need them" and Rogue feeling that this conversation had now gone on for long enough
"Now I know you want to leave here as soon as possible, but perhaps you could stay here for a few weeks. Maybe me and Beast can help you with your mutation, like we did for Kurt"
"Why would ya do that" asked Rouge suddenly going on the defensive
"Trust me Rogue I do not want anything in return, I do not buy peoples trust or allegiance. I am just working to better mankind and help mutants with their abilities"
"I've already accepted mah abilities and ah fine with it. So thanks but no thanks" said Rogue getting up from the chair and walking out of the office
"Rogue" shouted Bobby "Wait up" he shouted again running to catch up with her
"You just talked to the professor right"
"Yeah"
"I hope he managed to convince you to stay, cause their aint enough cute people in this institute" he said with a smile
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint ya sugah, but no am leaving here tomorrow"
"What! That's a shame 'cause the professor his a good guy and I though for sure he could convince you to stay. His helped a lot of mutants and given them a home"
"So the professor legit?"
"Straight up, give it a chance... please," said Booby producing a iced puppy dog in his hand
"Oh or righta, how can ah ever resist a puppy" she said as she headed back to the professor office
Author note: This does not make it a Rogue and Bobby fic, as I said I am currently undecided but I leaning toward a ROMY unless people state otherwise.
But please carry on reviewing!!!! Because it's about to get a lot more interesting with the arrival of Magneto... and Gambit
