Chapter 17

Adam stared down at Rogue, his face slowly turning red. He opened his mouth to speak, but was surprised to see her lose consciousness once more.

"Um, now what?" Blake asked suddenly as they rode in silence. "We obviously can't go home."

"I'll bring ya to the mansion," Logan said gruffly. "We'll go to your house tomorrow and pick up some clothes. Until then, you'll stay with us. Chuck will know what to do."


"You did what?" Xavier shouted the next morning when Logan told him what happened. They were in Xavier's office and he was so absorbed in what he was hearing that he couldn't think straight as Logan sat down in one of the two chairs in front of his desk. Rogue was sleeping in the infirmary. The tranquilizer she had been given was still wearing off. "How could you do such a thing without letting me know? Something could have happened!"

"Chuck, calm down, I took care of it. The Rogue is downstairs recovering now and I doubt Magneto and his goons will be coming back anytime soon." Xavier shook his head.

"That is beside the point. Anything could have happened to those boys."

"Anything could have happened to the girl too, Chuck. They needed me and I couldn't turn them down." Logan grinned. "Especially if it was for a fight."


The X-men sat outside of Rogue's infirmary watching through the glass as the three brothers waited for her to wake. They hadn't left her side since they'd come in the night before. Especially Adam, he'd sat beside Rogue the entire time, only moving to glance at one of his brothers every now and then.

"Boy," Scott said with an amused shake of his head. "He's got it bad."

"Got what?" Jaime asked.

"You think he knows?" Jean asked Scott. Scott shook his head again.

"Knows what?" Jaime asked again.

"I don't think he has a clue."

"Will someone please tell me what's going on?" Jaime said suddenly. The others looked down at the boy, a bit surprised, but soon began laughing when they saw his facial expression. "What?" he asked not getting the joke.


"Son of a bitch," Rogue moaned when she woke up. She glanced around to see Blake, Adam, and David staring happily down at her.

"Hiya," Blake said with a maniac grin. "How're you this fine morning?" Rogue blinked at him.

"Are ya kiddin' meh?" she groaned. She sat up. "Where are we?"

"We're at the X-mansion. The house has got a big hole in it so we're going to live here for a while."

"Sorry about that," Rogue said. "Swampy kinda got the jump on meh."

"No worries, babe," David said with a wicked twinkle in his eye. "We gave 'em more 'n we got." Rogue smiled faintly before frowning again.

"They wanted meh tuh join them. They-they promised meh the ability to touch." She smiled painfully. "Imagine. Meh being able to touch." She shook her head. "Crazy isn't it." She laid back down on the bed. "Ah'm still not feelin too well. Ah'm gonna rest for a bit longer." She closed her eyes.

"Okay," Blake said softly. "We'll go and get something to eat. We'll be back." Rogue didn't respond as the three brothers left her to herself. As soon as the door clicked, signifying she was alone, she let herself go.

"Why?" she whispered to herself as tears flowed down her cheeks. "Why can't Ah feel?" She began sobbing even harder as the thought of never making skin-to-skin contact with anyone assaulted her. "Ah nevah wanted tuh beh a mutant. Why are ya punishing meh?" She asked this question to no one in particular and no one answered it.
