Meeting the Morlocks
Rogue followed the girl through a series of tunnels. She tried remembering which turns she took but she couldn't remember them all. Rogue had no idea where she was going to end up when she went through a manhole.
Several times she had almost lost sight of the little girl but fortunately she caught glimpses of her rounding corners. She was being led deeper and deeper in to the sewers when suddenly the little girl stopped.
Out of the shadows, a group of people a group of people emerged carrying torches. They formed a circle around her. One of the stepped forward and said,
"What are you doing here?"
She had green tinged skin and sharp spikes, which looked as though they were made of metal, ran down her back, arms and legs. She had waist length vivid green hair and emerald green eyes.
"Ah'm sorry," Rogue whispered, "Ah was trying to talk to her," she pointed at the girl. "Ah didn't know if she had anywhere ta go."
The woman, who appeared to be their leader, went to grab Rogue's arm but she quickly pulled back.
"Ya can't touch my skin."
The woman's eyes softened as she said, "Ah. You're one of us. Welcome, we are the Morlocks; mutants so disfigured we can't show ourselves to normal people. I am the leader here. My name is Poison."
"Rogue," she said nodding her head politely.
"So what is your power?"
"Ah permanently absorb anyone ah touch and ah guess your spikes are poisonous?"
Poison chuckled and nodded her head and gestured for Rogue to follow her.
