Chapter 4
Rogue caught the young girl's arms before they wrapped around her, with a look of confusion and slight anger.
"I am here to see Xavier and Xavier only," Rogue said quietly but firmly. The girl her psyches had called Kitty, seemed extremely disappointed, but she led her inside, to Professor Xavier's office. Rogue looked around her as she walked down the maze of hallways; memories were floating in her head. However one person seemed to be in all her memories, a boy with messy brown hair, and red on black eyes. As she walked down the halls heads began to pop out of rooms everywhere. One boy in particular seemed surprised at first then suddenly his expression changed to one of anger. 'Screw him,' Rogue thought, 'I mean, who is he to judge me without even knowing me,' Rogue tried to justify her thoughts to her psyches.
"Rogue, may I ask what you are looking at?" Rogue zoned back to earth, she turned to find a bald man in a wheel chair. So, this is what all her running had been for, a meeting that's all she wanted, so why couldn't she move? She glanced at Kitty out of the corner of her eye. Kitty glanced at the Professor and then suddenly left the room.
"So, Rogue you would like to talk to me." It was more of a statement than a question.
"Yeah, look I came here cause it seems that, uh, I, no, you owe me something." Rogue stuttered.
"Aw yes that I do, you saved my life once. By going with your mother- "
"She's not my mother, she just adopted me."
"I see I have touched a sensitive spot, well, you came here for a reason please sit and talk to me."
"Uh, nah I think I'll just stand," Rogue shifted her feet then look up into his face again, "I need some money just to, you know, keep me on my feet for a while."
"Well, by all means I would give you money; however might I advise that you stay here."
"You mean your actually gonna let a girl like me stay at a mansion like this?"
"Of course, you do remember your time here before, don't you?"
"Uh, no," Rogue gave him a quizzical look and added, "I stayed here before?" Xavier looked puzzled, what had Mystique done to her memory? This may take longer than I previously thought.
"Well don't worry about a thing I'm sure they will all love you anyway."
"Look lovin is the last thing I need, I mean since you are a telepath I would think you would already know, but let me refresh your memory. I can't touch people or they die, I can't even hug someone for fear of brushing my face against theirs. I can't shake anyone's hand without some sort of clothing covering mine. So if you want to give me anything just give me a roof over my head and food to eat." 'Oh Rogue, what has Mystique put into your head.'
"Rogue there is no need to fret, people here are all aware that we must be careful around other students," the Professor calmly told her. He led her down the halls to a room. As she walked in her voices began to scream, Rogue couldn't take it and tried to make the sound go away but only succeeded in fainting.

"Its okay Rogue, I'm here with you." A boy with dirty brown hair and red on black eyes looked down on her. Rogue smiled as she curled up into his arms, the feel on familiarity took over her body.
"No, Rogue you can't sleep, but don't worry they were just excited it'll be okay," he smiled at her. Rogue nodded and asked what she was to do?
"You have to wake up and go back to the real world." Rogue looked saddened but she knew that's what she had to do. She looked at him and smiled and watched as he faded and a large light replaced his face. ********************************End of Dream******************************
'Rogue are you alright?' The Professor's face appeared. Rogue nodded, she didn't feel like telling them about ruining her nice nap in her mind.
"I'm fine I just need a little more rest."
"Are you sure you alright? You had quite the fall."
"Yeah my psyches just got excited that's all. Can you show me to my room again?" He led her to the room again but this time a girl was already there. Kitty turned around to find Rogue and Professor Xavier at the door.
"This is your room Rogue. You've already met your roommate but I'm sure you two will have lots of fun." 'Right,' Rogue thought. The two stared at each other, when Rogue just went to the bed her psyches had said she had slept in before.
"So, you like have any clothes?" Kitty asked looked at Rogue current wardrobe.
"No. Look I know you are trying to be helpful and all but I'm outtie, k?" Kitty watched astonished as Rogue left without another word.
Rogue walked down the halls reading signs left and right. But stopped at one in particular, 'Danger Room', 'Um, what could I do in there?' She walked into the door but as she was going in someone was coming out.
"Ug, hey! Watch where you're going!" Rogue yelled and got up off the floor.
"Yeah, make me." The boy retorted. He looked her in the face wanting to scare her off with his eyes. Rogue brushed herself and looked up at the idiot who had just bumped into her, and stopped. It was the boy, the boy in her dreams, the one with the red on black eyes; demon eyes. Rogue kept staring not wanting to turn away, and unconsciously walked toward him. Remy looked at her, white bangs, he only knew one girl who had white bangs as radiant as this girl's in front of him. Remy angrily turned, and backed away from, 'No that girl had left him she was dead to him now. Rogue broke her trance she wanted so badly to find out how she knew him, and whether it was truly she who knew him or one of her psyches.
"Look, just watch where you're going, jeez!" Rogue shoved past him into the Danger Room.
Rogue caught the young girl's arms before they wrapped around her, with a look of confusion and slight anger.
