When Rogue woke up it was seven in the morning. She had her session with the professor in 30 minutes. She took a shower and got dressed.

"Rogue? If you could, get Logan he may prove useful in our lesson. I'll understand if you're late; I know how hard it is for even you to wake him." The professor interrupted her routine.

"Yes professor." Rogue stated sleepily as she brushed her hair and then blew it dry. She made her way over to Logan's room and listened for him much like she had with Scott. She lightly knocked and heard him grunt and the covers rustle as he changed positions on the bed.

"Logan?" She walked in and closed the door behind her. She kept a safe distance away from him considering what had happened the last time she had tried to wake him. She looked at him, the rough Wolverine, sprawled out across his bed, the blanket covering him from the waist down. He was lying on his stomach and a little trickle of drool came from the corner of his mouth. His hair was all over the place and out of the shape of horns.

It was ironic to her, the very symbol of a badass sleeping as soundly as a kitten. It would melt anyone's heart. She'd seen this man slice people into pieces and yet, he seemed content in his peaceful dream at that moment.

"LOGAN!" Rogue yelled, hating the fact she had disturbed the adorable sight. Logan shot up claws extended, completely uncovered by his blankets in his birthday suit.

"What's wrong?" He said looking around and sniffing the air.

"Get some clothes on and come to the professor's office when you're done." Rogue immediately turned around and blushed. Logan grabbed the blankets off the floor to cover himself as she walked out.

"Good Morning Rogue." Xavier greeted her from behind his desk.

"Mornin'" She chirped, apparently having a better day than yesterday.

"I bet you're wondering what we're going to do today." He said as she sat down in a chair across from him.

"As a matter of fact I was." She smiled.

"Testing how long you can touch someone without hurting them, and then we'll see if I can double that time." Xavier smiled.

"Oh so that's why we needed…."

"What you need me for chuck?" Logan burst in.

"Have a seat you're going to help Marie." Charles motioned to the chair next to Rogue. Rogue carefully slid a glove off her silken hand and waited as Logan got comfortable. She grabbed his bare hand and at first it was easy for her, she didn't even try. But after about a minute and a half she started struggling, and my 2 and a half minutes Logan's veins started showing and she immediately let go.

"Very good, that's about a 25 second increase from last week." Xavier scribbled in his record book as Logan recovered. He cracked his neck and waited for the next round.

"Hopefully in that amount of time I can tap into your powers and at least double that time." Xavier wheeled himself beside Rogue. "You have to tell me before you can't handle it anymore so I can let go okay?" He said lifting his hands to touch her temples. She nodded and concentrated. Xavier tapped into her mind. She kept herself steady. Soon half a minute had passed. Rogue started struggling at 2 minutes, she gave the Professor fair warning. And at the last second Xavier had succeeded, she didn't have to concentrate anymore.

"Ready for round two?" Xavier looked at Logan.

"What the hell? Why not?" He said grabbing rogues hand. For a moment someone could mistake them for lovers because they just sat there holding hands and looking in opposite directions and giggling when their eyes met. Two minutes passed and Rogue simply smiled at Logan and stuck out her tongue. At 4 minutes she began to struggle and finally had to let go at 5 minutes and 17 seconds. When Xavier told her this her eyes got wide.

"FUCK YEAH!" she jumped up and flung herself onto Xavier's chair and thanking him over and over. Finally she realized what she said and apologized.

"It's quite alright, when I figured out to control my powers, I reacted in much the same way." He smiled kindly. Logan had been laughing so hard he was almost crying.

"Kid, you never fail to amuse me." He said grabbing her head under his arm and giving her a nuggie.

"But seriously, do you know what 5 minutes of touching can do for me? That's long enough for a quickie!" Rogue whispered as they were walking down the halls. Logan immediately put his hands over his ears.

"I didn't hear that." He looked at her sternly.

"Of course you didn't." Rogue smiled.

"What's on the agenda today?"

"Sleep and talking to Remy."

"Think you can pencil me in?" He furrowed an eyebrow.

"I'll try. We'll take a walk around the gardens after dinner okay?" She stopped in front of her door.

"Okay see you then." Logan lightly tapped her jaw with his fist and walked off. When Rogue went into her room she immediately kicked off her shoes and plopped down on the bed falling asleep in the position that she landed in.

"Remy?" Marie's voice was soft and loving.

"Oui mon amor?" Marie felt his arms tighten around her from behind and heard a slight yawn like he had just woken up. (yes my love?)

"Promise me that you'll never treat me like the dirt on the bottom of your shoes. Promise me you'll love me even if I have a bitch fit everyday for the rest of our lives. Promise me you'll never leave me alone. You have no idea how much you mean to me. You're the only stable thing in my chaotic world. I need you here, I need your love." Rogue turned to face him in his arms.

"I promise. Je t'aime." Remy whispered in her ear and kissed her on her cheek. (I love you)

"Bon, Parce-que Je t'aime aussi." Marie closed her eyes and rested her forehead on Remy's chin. Suddenly Remy's thoughts flooded her mind and she awoke surrounded in his blood. She knew Remy was dead. She held him in her arms and screamed. Hoping someone would take it all back.

"MARIE!"

Jubilee smacked Rogue across the face.

"Ouch what the fuck was that for?" Rogue sat up and held her cheek.

"You were screaming bloody murder."

"You got that right" Rogue thought. She looked at the alarm clock and noticed it was 4 in the afternoon.

"Enough time to talk to Remy and Xavier before dinner." She thought, pulling back the covers and straightening herself out.
