19. New Information
Bobby's POV
I couldn't believe it, I was one of the witnesses to Rogue coming back to life and I wasn't allowed in the meeting because I wasn't an adult! Teenagers get all the abuse, they aren't young enough to get the advantages of children, but not old enough to be counted as adults. Our lot in life is to be considered rude, rebellious, and extremely moody.
I stood next to the metal door, my ear pressed against it, trying to hear even the smallest amount of noise. I quickly learned that the doors were sound proof; I wouldn't be overhearing any conversations today.
Suddenly the door whizzed open and I jumped back in surprise. Storm stood at the door, a grin on her face.
"Those doors are noise resistant, something I figured out in my earlier years here," she said, winking at me. She moved so that I could enter, and I quickly made my way in. Rogue sat on a hospital bed, her face showing the fear that she was feeling inside of her.
"Bobby," said Xavier, wheeling over to me. "Marina has convinced us that it is only fair you know what we have learned as well." I smiled at Marina, my mother, who grinned back at me.
"How is Rogue alive?" It was the question that had been going through my head the moment she had sat up. Doctor McCoy, a blue fury man, stood forward to explain.
"Rogue sucked the other mutant's powers to her death, it was also more than Rogue's body could handle, so it momentarily shut down, to install her new powers into her body."
"Install her new powers?" I asked, confused by what the big man was saying.
"The woman who Rogue touched-"
"Carol," Rogue interrupted.
"Yes, Carol was her name. Because she held onto Rogue for so long, her powers seemed to have permanently implanted themselves into Rogue."
There was a hush in the room; the only sound was the beeping of equipment.
"Carol could not only fly but she had super human strength," said the Professor. "Rogue has just become one of the most powerful mutants in the world.
Rogue's POV
When they told me I was dead, at first I didn't believe them. If I was dead than how come I was alive and breathing? Then I felt Carol in my head. She didn't feel like the others, she wasn't one of the pack, she was the leader of them. Sure my brain was the leader, but she was like second in command; a second brain but without a body.
Brain. A thought surfaced to my head and I knew it was important for me too meet with the Professor, without and audience this time. I jumped off my bed to go get him, forgetting the fact that he probably already knew I wanted to see him.
"Where you going young lady," asked the fuzzy doctor.
"I…I need to see the Professor, immediately."
"Well you just lie down and I will go get him for you," said the big man, resting two large blue hands on my shoulders. I was frantic, and I couldn't wait.
"I'm fine," I snapped. I put two hands on his chest and shoved. My eyes widened in shock as Doctor McCoy flew across the room and hit the opposite wall. "I'm so sorry, sir!" I exclaimed running over. I reached to help him up, but my second surprise was that I pulled him off the floor with one hand as if he were as light as feather. I know I was told that I was very strong, but I never thought I would be that strong. "Are you alright, sir?"
"Yes, perfectly alright," said the doctor cheerfully. "But you may call me Hank." I nodded and opened my mouth to speak when the door opened and I spun around, knowing who I would find.
"You have something important to tell me Rogue?" The Professor asked, wheeling in. I glanced over at Hank and Professor Xavier fallowed my gaze. He smiled kindly at the big doctor.
"Hank, Rogue and I need a moment alone. You can come back to do your tests in a few moments."
"Of course," said Hank, moving quickly out of the room, and closing the door behind him. Professor Xavier wheeled his chair so he was facing me directly.
"Please go ahead, my dear."
I took a breath and sorted out the messed up thoughts in my head. All the voices were talking at once, distracting me.
Every one shut! Carol screamed in my head. The silence that followed was immediate. "Thank you, Carol," I said allowed. I then addressed the Professor.
"Carol had been with Ken for some time, and he has revealed quite a lot of his plans to her. She happens to know what Ken wants from you so badly," I said, pronouncing each word slowly, giving me time to listen to Carol at the same time.
"Please tell me," said Professor, not hiding the eagerness in his voice. Ken's actions had confused even him.
"He wants…he wants your brain."
"My brain?"
"Yes. He believes that with your mind, he can operate it so that he can also become physic…without becoming a mutant. His intelligence would increase, and that would help him create a plan to destroy all mutants. He could sell this plan to the highest bidder, becoming a very rich man?" I exhaled, finishing up all that I had to tell him.
"Rogue you are sure of this?" asked the Professor, sweating appearing on his brow. "Is Carol honest?"
"Carol would never lie to me, were to closely knit for her to lie," I said, with complete confidence. I had not yet spent time getting to know the only woman to ever enter my head, but she had held onto me until the end, binding us closer than I was with any of the others.
"Thank you, Rogue. I must go discuss this with the others."
I nodded and sat back down on my bed. The professor exited and Hank came back in, a happy smile on his face.
"Well my dear, let's do some tests on that strength of yours."
When Professor Xavier left the office, he immediately went in search of Marina. With all her experience, she had a better insight on the criminal mind than normal people, even physics like him; especially since he could not seem to find Ken's mind to read. Xavier scanned the house with his mind and he found Marina sitting by the pool with her son. He called out to her and she immediately dismissed herself and headed down to his office.
"Hello Professor," said Marina, a large smile on her face. Since she had told Bobby about their relationship, she couldn't seem to keep from smiling.
"Marina, in exact words, what did Ken ask for when you met with him," said the Professor, not bothering to greet her. Marina sat down on the couch, her smile finally leaving her face as she thought.
"He told me that he wanted nothing of the school. He wanted me to get you so that he could 'talk' with you for awhile. I think he wanted to do more than talk since he needed some one to force you to him."
"Marina, I have acquired new information from Rogue. I need to know what you think would be the best course of action."
Toad was stretching his legs on the floor when there was a knock on the door of is temporary room.
"Come in," he shouted. Instead of the door opening, water seeped through the bottom of the door and formed into Marina. She grinned and flopped down on his bed.
"Hey Toad, are you still in touch of your assassin side?" she asked casually, tracing designs on his bed cover.
"Oh don' apologize, I just love forward people who like tah re-open closed wounds. In fact I like tah make a daily sport if it," snapped Toad.
"Do I detect sarcasm?" asked Marina, sitting up and squinting at him.
"Shut up an' tell me what you wanna know." Toad put his hand on Marina's forehead and playfully shoved it so she fell backwards on to the bed again.
"I want to know if you wanna do a little job with me," she said, propping herself up on one elbow.
"Like?"
"Like taking out Ken," said Marina. Toad studied Marina for a few moments, looking at her with his large yellow eyes, making her fidget.
"How do ya wanna do it?"
