"Yah're a mutant" Rogue repeated disbelievingly and Clark grinned suddenly as he nodded. "I can sort of generate electricity in my body." he said "Want me to show you?" he asked in response to Rogue's disbelieving stare. Rogue could not believe this. On top of the fact that he is an orphan and lost his mother and his sister in a fire and the fact that they had the same color eyes and his skin was so pale like her own beneath all the make-up he was a mutant too. There was too much for her to just dismiss it to be a mere coincidence. While Rogue was trying to come to terms with this Clarks eyes turned completely orangish-yellow (the color of fire) and suddenly he was enveloped in a sort of whitish glow before he was surrounded by the blue-black streaks of electricity. About five seconds later the streaks disappeared and the whitish glow grew faint and disappeared finally and Clark's eyes became emerald green again. Clark laughed at the look on Rogue's face and said, "Now that I've showed you what my mutant powers are it's your turn to show me exactly how you use your powers.." Rogue hesitated and said "Yah don't want to know trust meh." "Oh come on." Clark made puppy eyes at Rogue until she finally gave in and she removed her gloves and gently touched Clarks face. She held the contact only for a second so that Clark did not faint but was only slightly weakened. He sat down dazed and said "Whoa. So you can't touch? Rogue shook her head slightly "That explains the full-sleeved clothing and the gloves." Clark said trying to make light of the whole situation. He had seen the sadness in Rogue's eyes when she spoke about her powers and how she could not touch and so figured that she did not like to talk about it too much and so he started telling Rogue more about the place he had brought her too. But Rogue wasn't listening to a word he was saying. Her mind was reeling with questions that needed proper answers. Answers that would erase all the doubt in her mind and ensure her that Clark indeed was her brother. She really did have a family.
Rouge was interrupted from her thoughts when she realized that Clark was waving a hand in front of her face. "Is something wrong?" he asked her and when Rogue looked up she saw the concern I his eyes and she desperately wanted to believe that this was her brother and that she finally had a family, an actual family. But after everything she had been through before she really didn't want to be wrong. She wanted to be completely sure about this. Rogue suddenly felt the intense heat of the noon sun on her face and she instinctively put up her hand to cover her face when it struck her that she was supposed to be catching a bus to St.Louis now. She looked at the watch on her hand and she just sighed as she realized that it was already about 12 and she had missed the bus to St.Louis. She suddenly did not care about that as she looked at Clark who was looking at her with a very worried expression on his face. She remembered that Clark had told her that he lived in St.Louis. "Ah know Ah've never really believed in fate and destiny before but all of a sudden I am staring to become a believer. Ah mean Ah don't really know why I decided to go to St.Louis Ah just did. How else would you explain all this." She thought. " I know it's really weird for me to be saying this considering the fact that we just met and don't really know each other that much but if you ever wanted to know how to control your mutant abilities so that you can touch I might know a person who can help you. When I first found out that I was a mutant I was completely freaked out. I had no idea how to control my powers and I was a wreck until I met this one guy. He's a mutant too and his mutant ability is to kinda burn people's flesh when they touch him. So he couldn't touch people either, until he made this serum that he could inject into his skin and then he could neutralize his mutant abilities for a certain period of time. But now he's able to control it completely without the serum." He stood looking at Rogue waiting for an answer but instead a moment later he felt Rogue's arms around him hugging him and thanking him. Startled and a little embarrassed Clark patted Rogue's arm awkwardly and said it was okay. When Rogue regained her composure she said "What are we waiting foe let's go to this guy." Clark laughed and as they walked down over to Clark's adopted parents house to get his bike that he left there she leaned over and whispered "If yah ever and Ah mean ever tell anyone what Ah did back there Ah will kill you and Ah promise you it will be slow and painful. Clark laughed and promised not to breath a word when suddenly Rogue halted to a stop and he stopped too as he saw the younger boy with untidy locks falling over his face and the lean man standing in the middle wearing a trench coat and the slightly more muscular man standing to the right who looked like he anted to kill him but immediately his eyes reverted back to the one in the trench coat and he gasped sharply as he looked at the red on black eyes.
