Rock Me
Disclaimer: I don't own X-men: Evolution at all in any way, shape, or form.
Summery: Mystique never convinced Rogue to join the Brotherhood and the Professor didn't detect her. She ends up in Bayville with no place to stay, no friends, no answers, and doesn't know who to trust. She finds herself outside of a house hungry, tired, and scared. She knocks on the door and finds three guys that'll rock her world...
AN: This is my first Rogue fic so constructive criticism is allowed, but no people being plain rude.
Thanks to: Everyone who's reviewed so far. I hope you all like the next chapter.

Chapter 5
After dodging what had to be the thousandth explosive Rogue began to think about how helpful it would be if she had some physical powers instead of one that had to be provoked. While thinking this she didn't notice an explosive that was flying at her. When she noticed where it was it was too late to move. She put her hands up to shield herself and was surprised when it blew up. Looking down at her hands she noticed that she had once again used Blake's power of electricity.
"Thank ya," she muttered under her breath. "For ya powahs, Blake." It took a few seconds to get the hang of his powers, but she soon learned how to control them.
She noticed that the space they were aiming to get to for safety wasn't too far away from her. She began to run towards the space with the others in front of her. She knew that because of her powers Blake, Adam, and David were destroying most of the explosives so that she could have a better go at the safe spot.
Not noticing that she had explosives behind her, as she was fending off the explosives in her sight, Jean continued to block them with her telepathy. When Rogue saw that one was almost on her she threw an electricity ball and blew it up before it got too close. Jean whipped around in surprise and sent a startled thanks at Rogue.
Before Rogue knew it, the simulation was over. She and the others changed back, went to the living room, and waited for the Professor to give his opinion.
'Ah wondah how come Ah could still use Blake's powah,' she thought leaning against the windowsill of the living room. She scowled outwardly. She'd learned that while she held that look on her face people would steer clear of her, giving her enough time to think, until they thought she was approachable. 'Ah drained Cody and he left meh alone aftah a few hours. But Blake's powah came when Ah was thinkin' about how useful it would be tuh have a powah lihke his. Maybe Ah can call on them whenevah I want. Maybe Ah can learn to control them as mah own and they'll surface when Ah need 'em.'
Professor Xavier rolled into the living room with his colleagues flanking him.
Rogue noticed that he had a new mutant with him. She knew this because the man's mutation was outward. He was built like a gorilla, but had human characteristics. He had fangs, long blue hair on his head and body, wore glasses, and was carrying on a conversation with the Professor.
She didn't stare knowing how rude it was and how bad it felt to have someone stare at you because of your appearance.
"Good job, everyone," Ororo told them. She walked towards her nephew and put her hand on his bare shoulder.
The simple skin-to-skin contact made Rogue bristle uncomfortably. Her attitude became sour and her angry expression suddenly wasn't so hard to keep.
'This is ridiculous,' she thought. 'Ah can't get mad every time someone touches someone else. It's just stupid. Ah can't touch or be touched, it's that simple. Ah'll deal. It's not lihke Ah have a choice.'
"Yes," Professor Xavier agreed. He placed his hands on his lap his fingers touching one another. "You all showed excellent teamwork. Rogue, how did you create the electricity balls to save Jean?"
Rogue shrugged as everyone's attention was turned to her.
"Last nigh' Ah accidentally drained some o' Blake's powah. Today when Ah was thinkin' about how much easier it would be if Ah had a powah that Ah could use to destroy some o' those explosives," Rogue trailed off and shrugged. "They just came back. Ah was surprised because they fade aftah awhile. You know the story, but when Ah needed them they came back." The Professor nodded his head pensively.
"Yes, we saw. What I don't understand is how, when Cody's essence has seemed to fade from your persona, Blake's hasn't. Unless, perhaps his hasn't faded at all. Perhaps you're able to call upon their characteristics when needed, but where do they go when you don't?" he asked himself more than Rogue. The question, of course, was rhetorical because the answer alluded them all.
"Ah kind of think tha same thing. Maybe Ah can control what Ah drain. But Ah'm not sure if Ah can." Xavier nodded in understanding. He gestured around him.
"Would you like to join us? You don't have to. You could come here after school everyday and we'll all work together on your control." Rogue took few minutes to think about it.
"Okay," she agreed slowly allowing her facial expression to relax. "Ah'll do it. But Ah stay with tha guys."
"That's fine, Stripes," Logan spoke up. "Just try to keep your powers under wraps. Be here tomorrow with the guys and we'll work more." Rogue nodded.
"It was nihce meetin' y'all," she said as she and the guys started to leave. Jean smiled at Rogue as she passed by her.
"Thanks for having my back earlier," Jean said.
"No problem." Rogue allowed herself to return the friendly smile as she exited the house.
