AprilAngel413: Sorry I forgot to talk at the end of that last chapter. Imagine that me forgetting to talk. Any way here's the new chapter enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men
Because of the engagement Genie and Warren moved in to the guest bedroom, which was now becoming their room for when they visit. They had both been flying from the penthouse to the mansion. (By plane not wings.) Cass and Lizzie moved into Jeans room, it's the second biggest student room in the whole mansion. Cass didn't understand what Kitty ment in the car when she said "Hank's go' a love you." She hadn't met Hank formally yet so how could she. Kitty thought that it would be better to show her then to explain, She led Cass down to Hank's office in the basement. Kitty knocked on the door.
"Mr. Mc coy are you in here."
"Yes Kitty, What brings you down here?"
"I do believe that you have not been introduced to Cassandra yet."
Kitty gave Cass a little push into the Doc's office.
"Hello."
"Cass, I've heard only good things about you from everyone. So what is it that you have come to see me about?"
"Cass here got A's on three quizzes that she never got to study for."
"Really, that is quite interesting."
"And that's not even the best part. Tell him which classes you took the quizzes in."
"Advanced chemistry, advanced biology, and advanced physics."
She said this with no excitement in her voice what so ever.
"Wow those are hard classes."
"I'm sure that this conversation would lead to many fascinating things but I have a meeting with the professor."
And with that she left Beasts office and headed up stairs. Cass had no clue why the professor asked to meet with her. As she climbed the stairs she began to get more and more worried. When she finally reached his office her hands were shaking. Cass knocked on the door lightly.
"Come in Cass." Came the professors' voice.
Cassandra entered the room. Storm was already there, seeing the instructress helped her relax a little bit.
"Cass you have been living in my institute for just over a week now correct."
"Yes."
"This a safe place for mutants to come and develop their powers, and I have not seen any signs of you being one."
"So you're saying that you called me here because you think that I'm not a mutant."
Xavier nodded his head.
"We shall give you a full physical and mental examination, if you do well then feel free to join the X-Men."
"Ok, when do I take the physical?"
"Tomorrow."
Cass left with Ororo on her tail.
"I was talking to your sister today, and she said that you are a great cook."
"I don't cook any more."
"Well I need an idea for dinner tonight, maybe you could help me out."
Cass just stared at the adult standing next to her. She could tell that Storm was trying to connect with her. She had to admit she missed cooking.
"I guess I still have a few recipes in the back of my head somewhere."
They were walking towards the kitchen when Cassandra stopped dead in her tracks.
"Cass are you ok?"
"Yeah, go ahead I'll be there in a minute."
Storm went ahead, not sure what her fifteen-year-old friend was going to do. In the Rec Room she herd people talking.
"Why did Warren propose now, I mean their kid is like two?"
"Well I think that it's there own business, and we shouldn't be talk'en about it."
Cass new from the southern drawl that Rouge had made that last statement. Despite that everyone else kept talking. That just made her so angry. The green strip in the middle of her hair started to glow, and a little line of light started to branch out from her pupil. It started to go around the color of her eyes. Ororo had left the kitchen to locate Cassandra, and found her leaning up against a wall eavesdropping on the other students. She walked up to Cass very quietly.
"What are you doing?"
Cass turned her head quickly. Ororo caught a glimpse of the light retreating in her companions' eyes, they were now the exact color of her still glowing green stripe.
Storm was staring at her now and Cass didn't like it.
"Shouldn't we be in the kitchen?"
At Dinner
Storm and the professor had been talking from the minute dinner started. He seemed fascinated by every thing that the weather witch said.
"And then when I looked at Cass her eyes were dark green just like her hair."
Cass hated when people talked about her, but not have as much as when people talked about her family. That explained why her eyes were still green. Rouge had been the only one to notice this.
"Cass are ya ok?"
"Fine."
"Ya don't look it."
"I'm just thinking."
"Ah didn't know it took that much out a ya to think."
Cass didn't laugh.
"Ah'm sorry."
"Not your fault, you don't know what I know."
"We can easily fix that"
"Fine bring everyone that you think can handle it to the Danger Room at eleven."
Danger Room
Rouge only invited Kurt, Kitty, Scott, and Jean but of course everyone else found out.
The only people who weren't there were the adults. (Warren, Genie, Logan, Hank, Storm and the professor.)
"Like why are we down here Rouge?"
"You'll see."
Chairs were set up around the Danger Room. People began to take their seats. Down the hall Genie was sneaking towered the Danger Room, Jean sensed her immediately but did not say a word. Genie knew what her sister was doing, she was going to set the record strait. Tell them everything. Jean excused herself was went into the hall.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Saving my sister from reliving the worst pain of her life
Genie pushed Jean out of the way and sprinted to the Danger Room. Jean opened the doors a head so her fellow telepath wouldn't slow down. Genie ran up to Rouge and put her hand on the space between her glove and where the sleeve ended. Rouge was overwhelmed with visions and feelings. When she opened her eyes Genie was on the floor. Scott picked up the unconscious women, and carried her to the Med Bay. Jean got Xavier and Beast. With all the racket going on Storm and Wolverine went down to the Danger Room to find a stunted Rouge, and Cassandra.
"Cassandra are you ok?"
She did not answer Storm, she was in a trans like state.
"Stripes anybody home?"
Rouge didn't answer either. Logan put his fist close to her face and popped his claws, barely missing her of course. She didn't flinch.
"Chuck get in here quick."
Xavier wheeled him self over to Rouge and Cassandra. They both had the same blank look on their face. Hank and Logan brought them in to the Med Bay and put them on beds next to Genie. Angel was called and came down immediately. Shifts were a signed watch over Lizzie, whenever she started to cry they had to use their powers to calm her down. Jean would make the stuffed animal fly around the room, and Ororo made little tornados. But Lizzie liked Kurt the best. He'd do flips all around the room, and BAMph in and out. After the three girls were stabilized Hank allowed visitors. Warren refused to bring Lizzie in. Beast gathered everyone together to explain what was going on.
"Here's my guess at what happened."
Hank looked around the room, everyone was there and listening.
"Cassandra had locked away a very painful memory and was planning to tell everyone about it. Genie knew that it would wipe her sister out if she unlocked that memory. She wouldn't let her sister do it. But by the time that she'd gotten there Cass's memory was almost unlocked. It was to late too stop her, the only way she could help is if she joined her sister in the memory. The only way for her to do that was to get knocked unconscious, and the only way to do that at that precise moment was to get absorbed by Rouge. The plan was perfect, but she didn't count one factor."
There wasn't a person in that room that wasn't on the edge of their seat.
"Rouge."
Everyone looked a little puzzled at this point.
"Because she absorbed Genies memories she got sucked into Cass's memory with Genie."
"Vhat iz going to happen now Herr McCoy?"
"They must all relive the memory."
AprilAngel413: I just want to clear one thing up. When telepaths read a persons mind they look at the memories and she how the other person felt. But when someone like rouge receives person's memories not only do they see it they feel what that person was feeling too.
