CHANGE

It wasn't but a week later when Kurt left to the X-men. He never even told anyone but Rogue good-bye. Rogue didn't want to be there when Mystique found out, so she left a note for her explaining to her why the left in a rather nasty letter. But unlike Kurt, she actually told everybody else good-bye. She made sure that there were no hard feelings between her and Wanda, and that they could stay friends. In fact, they both enjoyed the fact that it would add to Mystique's pain in the end of the day. She drove Kurt to where the X-men stayed, still owning Belle's car, wanting to make sure that they weren't double crossing him, even though they were the good guys.

But while she was there, she was in awe of the place. It was really nice. Kurt insisted that she could stay but she was wary of signing up for something like this. She was never exactly on anything that would ever venture onto the side of good. Sure she never exactly believed in Mystiques ideas, but she didn't have any of her own. She still didn't even fully understand mutants. Just as she was about to head out somebody said something.

"I understand how you feel Rogue." She looked around.

"Who said that?"

"I must apologize. My name is Charles Xavier, and-"

"Ah know who ya are, but Ah don't like people in mah head. 'Nough people there now." She turned to see the man in a wheel chair come toward her near the front door.

"I understand, especially in your situation."

"An' what might that beh?"

"We might be able to help you."

"Help meh what?"

"Control your powers, understand mutants, many things my dear."

"Whay should Ah trust ya?"

"We are not your enemy Rogue. I am willing to earn that trust."

"Whay do ya want ta help meh?"

"That is what we do, we help people."

"Ah dunno."

"It's alright, you don't have to make a decision right now. It is a great deal to think about. If you like, we could give you a room and you can choose later. No strings attached."

"Really?" she said skeptically.

"Yes. It will give you a chance to make sure that your brother is safe."

"Alright, but if'n Ah choose ta leave, Ah leave."

"Good, then we are in agreement?"

"Yeah, Ah suppose." he smiled.

Professor Xavier had Scott show her around the grounds, but not to any of the X-men's private areas, and finally to her room.

"I'm sorry, but for the moment we are a bit...full. We don't have any spare rooms, so you will have to share with Kitty."

"Kitty?"

"Yeah, she alright."

"She ain't gonna bug meh or try anythin' is she?"

"No, don't worry about it. We are all aware of your powers Rogue. Each of us has them."

"Yeah, yeah. Ah already heard the speech." She walked into the room and looked around. 'Great, she's got a fetish with pink. Just mah luck.'
