There was no doubt left in Rogue's mind that Clark was her brother. She pulled away from his embrace and wiping away her tears she said "Yah have to come to Bayville. The professor will help you control your powers better and you will be able to stay in the mansion with meh." Clark shook his head slightly and said that he couldn't possibly go anywhere without telling Dr. Stevens. "He was like a father to me. He took care of me when I was a kid and he could really help you Rogue. He can help you control your powers. He can help you touch." Logan, Kurt and Remy looked up sharply at these words and in response to their questioning looks Rogue explained about the serum that Dr.Steven s had made and how it had helped him to control his mutant powers. Logan spoke for the first time since he had boarded the plane to find Rogue. He had always felt rather fatherly towards her and when she had run away from the mansion he had been devastated. "But Rogue you cant take that serum before the professor and Hank conduct a few tests on it." Rogue opened her mouth to protest but Kurt cut her off "Logan is right Rogue. You should let the professor take a look at it before you decide to go through vit it." Rogue accepted it and she decided to let the professor check it first. Logan placed a cal to the professor and after he had explained the situation to him the professor decided to leave immediately. He was also bringing Dr.McCoy with him.

Rogue, Kurt and Remy were showing Clark the jet while Logan was trying to get permission to park it in a legitimate spot for a few hours until the professor came. The airport finally found a spot for the jet and Clark was thrilled as he watched Logan driving the jet. The professor arrived in about 2 hours (in his other jet. Am not sure if he really has one but in this story he does.) And after hurried introductions he asked Clark to take him to Dr.Stevens house so that Dr.McCoy could make sure that there was nothing dangerous in the serum that might harm Rogue. During the long drive from the airport to Dr.Stevens apartment, Remy tried very hard to talk to Rogue and explain to her the whole situation so she wouldn't be mad at him anymore. Although Rogue was reluctant to listen to him she finally agreed and Remy explained to her in hurried whispers about Belladonna and how his whole family's lives would be at risk. He also explained to her that her own life was at risk, which is why he had told her in the first case. Rogue felt awful after she had listened to everything he had to say. She had no idea how to react and so she simply leaned over and hugged him. Although surprised by Rogue's reaction, Remy reacted immediately and held her close as he whispered, "I love you" into her ears. Rogue pulled back surprised and looked into his eyes once before hugging him again and saying "I love you too."

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww."

This came from Clark who had been watching the whole spectacle with considerable interest. Rogue blushed and pulled away from Remy as she hit Clark playfully on the arm and told him to shut up. Though Logan was a little uncomfortable with the idea of Rogue and Remy going out he was extremely happy about the change in Rogue's behavior. She was so much freer now. He smiled as he heard Clark protesting loudly at Rogue's "awful and undue" behavior towards him. Remy turned towards Clark and inquired if he was doing okay. Remy had known Clark ever since they were little kids and he knew that Clark blamed himself completely for his mother's death. Clark nodded that he was fine. Remy that Clark really did mean what he said. When he saw Clark smiling and teasing Rogue a few minutes later he was kinda convinced that Clark really was ok or rather as ok as he could be expected to be in the current circumstances. Remy leaned back in his seat and slipped his arm around Rogue's shoulders and to his surprise she didn't pull away and snuggled into his arms as the car (which the professor had brought wit him in the jet.) rumbled on.

………………………………………………………………………………………………Kurt sat stone-faced as he heard Clark and Rogue in the back seat. He was very happy for Rogue. She had finally found the families that she had wanted and needed so badly but seeing the two of them together as they supported each other and just plain old enjoyed being with each other just made him think of his mother Mystique and the relationship he shared with her. She had never offered him any support or love ever. Even Rogue had never been as friendly and sisterly towards him and as happy as he was for Rogue it just hurt that he didn't have anyone who would be there for him really be there for him when he really needed it. Only families did that.

………………………………………………………………………………………………They arrived at Dr.Stevens apartment in a few more minutes and Rogue hesitantly got out. This was it. This was the day when she was finally going to be able to touch. That was what she had wanted most in the world ever since her powers manifested themselves so why was she so hesitant to go through with it?
