The Shy Fire Starter

Chapter 3

The Institute and Meeting some of the Students

Gabriel had fallen asleep on the way over after telling them what had happened. Rogue had eventually joined her, leaving only Logan and Scott awake.

"She seems very innocent, shy, and lonely." Said Scott.

"Ya and extremely sad." Logan muttered.

"(She seems so sweet and kind. Why would anyone want to abandon her Scott thought with a frown marring his face.)"

"I hope she does ok at the institute. She seems kinda awkward around most people unless she is mad at you or feels safe around you. Like she did with Rogue." Mumbled Scott to himself.

Scott looked back at the two girls. What he saw shocked him. Gabriel and Rogue's cheeks were touching but nothing was happening. Rogue and Gabriel were sitting next to each other. Gabriel had her arms wrapped around one of Rogues arms cuddling up to her. They looked really adorable, but he was still miffed about how her powers were not being sucked out of her.

"(There is more to her powers than we know)"

"Logan, look at Rogue and Gabriel." Scott whispered to Logan.

"Fuck we got to get them to stop tou…"

"No Logan look nothings happening see."

"Holy shit that's amazing. We have ta tell the professor as soon as we get back." Logan Whispered excitedly.

They traveled in the X-Jet for a while longer. After they landed Scott and Logan got off and brought Gabriel's stuff inside. Leaving the girls to sleep for a few more minuets. While they were gone Rogue woke up. She then started to panic as she noticed that Gabriel's face had been touching hers. She was to scared to notice that nothing had happened to Gabriel.

"Crap Gabriel wake up. Come on WAKE UP."

Rogue started to shake Gabriel's shoulders very roughly.

"(God could whoever it is that is shaking me stop FUCKING SHAKING ME)"

"Mmmmmm" Gabriel couldn't help but groan.

"Thank god you're ok. Are you feeling ok? Are you hu…?"

Rogue said crying but was interrupted as Gabriel shot out her hand and covered Rogues mouth. Rogue tried to struggle away with no success.

"Could you please calm down? I am fine. Yes I am awake. And are we there yet?"

Blinking in shock Rogue just nods her head yes. Gabriel nodded her head in a thank you gesture and got up slowly still half asleep.

"Why are you ok? I mean you touched me, you should be in a small coma or something."

"Why wouldn't I be ok just because I touched you?" The puzzlement was clear in her voice which was even clearer while being added to her violet eyes.

"Because if I come into skin to skin contact with somebody I'll absorb their memory's and powers if they have any. They'll go into a type of coma because of the shock of it all. They still have their memories and powers but it does hurt them. That's why I was so scared. Rogue said looking down sadly.

"I'm so sorry. I guess I'm fine so don't worry ok. Hey if it's ok do you want to show me around once we get inside." Gabriel said to Rogue giving her a friendly hug..

"Sure I'd love to. Let's just get you inside now ok."

Just as she finished saying that Scott and Logan walked into the X-Jet.

"Good your awake now. Logan and I already put your stuff in the institute. Then later when you get your room we'll help you move your stuff up to your room, but until then lets go in and meet professor Xavier and the students."

"Umm k can Rogue come with I'd be more comfortable if she did if that's ok with her."

"Sure I'll come but only if it's ok with the professor."

"I don't think he will have a problem with that. I'll ask him when we get there ok."

"Thanks Scott." Said Gabriel

"No problem. Let's go now."

Scott, Rogue, and Gabriel were walking towards the professor's office. Logan had run off somewhere. Scott stopped them in front of the office and told them to wait. HE them walked out a few minuets later.

"He said Rogue can come. You can go in now."

"Thanks"

"So you are the one cerebro picked up good to meet you. Hope you get along fine here."

After a while of talking and explaining that she can ouch Rogue without her memories and powers being absorbed and some room switching later. They left to meet the other students.

"Ok now for the tour. You're going to love it here Gabriel and we get to share a room how cool is that."

"That's awesome, but what about the girl that was your roommate before? What will she do?"

"Ohh well she will be switched to a different room."

"Well ok but what if she gets mad?"

"Don't worry she will understand. Now lets go meet some students. Hmmm ohh there's Kitty. Hey Kitty come here."

"Like hey Rogue. What's up?"

"We have a new student her names Gabriel."

"Well hello there nice to meet you Gabriel."

"Hi nice to meet you to." Gabriel said very meekly.

"Wow you seem pretty shy. Well I got to go. I hope we become really good friends. Bye. Oh and I think I saw Kurt in the other room."

"Thanks kitty. Come on I want you to meet Kurt I think you'll like him."

Rogue dragged Gabriel threw a couple rooms looking for Kurt until she found him.

"Kurt."

"Yes vat may I help you vith Rogue." Kurt asked smiling brightly.

"We have a new student. Gabriel, Kurt. Kurt, Gabriel."

"It is a pleasure to meet you Gabriel." Kurt then sticks his hand out to shake her hand.

Gabriel awkwardly sticks out her hand and shakes hands with him.

"It's nice to meet you to Kurt."

"Kurt why don't you show her your real form."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes so you don't scare her when she sees you later and doesn't know it's you."

"Fine then zis iz my real form."

He shuts of his disguising watch and stands there waiting for a scream."

"Oh my gosh you're so adorable your like a huge cat how cute."

"A huge cat? Never heard zat von before. I vas expecting a scream az alvays."

"Why would I scream? You're not that scary."

"Vell almost every von I have shown except for other mutants have screamed."

"Well then the ones that screamed are very immature." Gabriel said very stubbornly.

"You're very sveet but not every von iz like you."

"I guess you're right."

"Well hate to break up this little chat but there are other places here to go look at. So you can talk later ok."

"Ok talk to ya later Kurt."

"Ok zee you later Gabriel."
