Chapter 9- Where Am I?

Rogue felt someone gently shaking her awake. She slowly opened her eyes and found that the jet had landed. Rogue looked to her left and saw Jean Grey with a worried look on her face. Rogue chuckled to herself as she remembered what had happened. She had been asleep and Scott had been an idiot and woken her roughly. She had hit him and because of her new super strength, he'd gained a lesson in flight that she was all too happy to give him.

Rogue stood up and stepped out of the jet, her eyes widening at the sight before her. In front of her was an enormous mansion which towered over her. To Rogue, it was an imposing sight; she had never seen anything so big before. The X-men had explained everything and she couldn't believe that she was going to live there. She had lived on the streets for quite a while and she had to steal food so she could eat. Now she didn't have to worry about that. All she had to worry about was the other children.

Rogue had been told that she had to attend classes with everyone and the X-men would be her teachers. She wasn't really looking forward to it. Remy had told her that Carol hadn't been popular with anyone but the Professor but her abilities were going to make everyone nervous. She also dreaded meeting the Professor. Rogue didn't want him to hate her for what had happened; it hadn't been her fault.

Rogue stiffened as she saw the mansion doors slowly swing open. A man in a wheel chair came up to Rogue and said,

"Welcome Rogue, to my school for the gifted. I am Professor Charles Xavier. You must be hungry," he smiled. "Why don't you come in and have something to eat."

Rogue smiled at that and followed him in to the mansion. She tried not to stare in awe at her surroundings. She blushed slightly as she caught people staring at her from behind the classroom doors. They arrived at the kitchen and there were several girls and a boy in there.

"Rogue I'd like you to meet Jubilee, Kitty and Bobby. You'll be sharing a room with Kitty."

The girls nodded at each other and Bobby gave a slight smile. All three of them seemed wary of her like she would touch them on purpose.

"Bobby can I count on you to show Rogue around?" Professor Xavier asked.

"Yeah no problem professor."
