Untouchable
AN. Hey! Yes, long time since I have updated, but now reason to be too terribly mad at me! Keep reading, and I will update whenever possible. Senior year is very busy, and I can only write what I am motivated too! Disney Channel helped with this chapter just for the fact that Cadet Kelly was on. *for those who aren't aware our lovely Shawn Ashmore is in it. Yum* Anyway keep on reading, and I'll keep writing!
Love all my reviewers,

Chapter 24
A Rogue by Any Other Name
"So what are we going to do?" Rogue sat on her leg, her foot swinging in the air, one of the few nervous tendencies she allowed herself. "When was the last time anyone saw him?"
Jean sat next to her, she placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "We are not sure. The last time one of the adults saw him was during his physical. Right, Dr. McCoy?"
Hank sat across from them at the conference table. "Correct. He seemed edgy, and I suggested that he should speak to you, Rogue. I was almost certain he would do so."
The table was crowded, and the whole faculty wore their night clothes. Rogue was the only one of her age, since they did not want to cause alarm to the rest of the students. They wanted to make sure this wasn't like the other attack.
The metal doors swung open, and Ororo paced in, her white hair streaming behind her, one hand clutching her blue silk robe closed, while the other held something in her hand. "I found something on the security disks." There were circles under her blue eyes. "Are you sure you didn't see him Rogue?"
Rogue looked up puzzled. "I am quite sure. I didn't even noticed he was gone until tonight. Why?"
Ororo handed the disk to the professor. Xavier had been unusually quiet, trying to figure out were one of his students went. He listened to the others babble, trying to make sense of this. He rolled over to the consul, and placed the disk inside. The wide screen opened up, and the disk played automatically.
It began with an empty hallway outside the metal room until one of the doors opened, and Bobby walked out. His face looked worried, until another figure walked up infront of him. There was no audio, but it was evident that they were talking. The figure walked in front of the security camera.
"Christ." Logan whispered.
There was Rogue, apparently talking with the missing Bobby.
Xavier rolled closer, and he almost barked out, "Freeze." The computer responded to his voice command, and the video paused. "Zoom in on the girl's eyes." The computer cooperated until the professor ordered him to stop. In the depths of Rogue's bottle green eyes showed yellow.
"Mystique." Scott's hand hit the table. "How did she get in here again?"
Rogue stared at herself blankly. "How, how did she… She did the same thing to me. When she lured me to the trap at the train station… Bobby's in trouble." She was visibly shaking.
Ororo sat in the empty chair next to her. "That's what I feared too. How did that happen?"
"Jean? Run a check on Cerebro. Make sure she didn't play the same prank too. Scott, check the jet, and Storm run the computer for any viruses. We need to have all our bases covered." Xavier wheeled up to the table again. "Rogue, I want you to stay in your room. Logan, watch her. I feel nothing is as it seems, and there is something is very wrong a foot. You will not be in any danger, especially with your newly acquired powers. When I know it is safe, and I can use Cerebro, I'll find Bobby coordinates, and I'll send a team." Xavier looked at her with a stern but gentle look. "You are not going. You still need time to heal."
Rogue just nodded. The mental blocks the professor put in blocked the first layer of her psyche from him. He couldn't tell what was really on her mind. "Ok." was all she said.
Logan grabbed on to her shoulder, and led her to the main elevator. "What ever bright ideas you have floating in your head, it would be for your best if you forgot them."
She smiled coyly at him. He knew her too well. They walked out of the elevator into the hallway. Everything was dark, and they made it to her room.
Logan sniffed for any unwanted smells, and shoved her inside. "Coast is clear."
Rogue sat down on her bed, ignoring the way he leaned against the door. It would bug her to hurt him, but a girl did what she had to do, and Rogue always lived up to her name. She knew what it was like to be in the clutches of Magneto, and she was going to get Bobby out of it as soon as possible.
She fell back into her head, and searched through the layers of conscience. She walked around, searching for Bobby. He was there, but his mind was off, as if he was asleep. She sighed out loud when she realized he was alive.
Kneeling down next to him, she mentally took off her glove and touched his smooth face. And then his memory became hers. Instantly he saw him kissing her, but then being knocked out. His next memory was of Magneto, and she felt the burns of Pryro's fires during his fight. She let go before she hurt him too much. He needed his strength to wake up.
She snapped open her eyes, and stared into Logan's brown ones.
"What the hell were you doing? Rogue, someone's going to get hurt."
"I know where he is."
He just stared at her. "You're not going. I won't let you."
She nodded, taking off her glove. "I know you won't let me. I'll even tell you that this is a trap for me. That's why I'll need you to follow me. Cerebro will be working soon, and you will know where to go."
He grabbed her shoulders. "I am not letting you go Rogue. He hurt you enough the first time." He touched one of her white strips. "I won't let it happen again."
Tears filled her eyes. "I'm sorry Logan. Come rescue me soon. You're good at that." And she touched his face directly.
His eyes rolled at once, his strength filling her. She knew she would need it. The connection lasted a few seconds, but he would be out for over an hour. Just enough time for a head start. She took off her other glove and left it on the bed beside him. She was going into battle with nothing stopping her power. Anyone who tried to hurt her or the ones she loved would feel the consequences.
Opening the window she jumped out, and flew away.
An. Hmm, good update or not? Keep on reviewing, and we will have to see what happens! Also, read any of my other stories, especially my new one Second Best. It involves Ronny Drake and Bobby, and it has some Riceman niceness too!
Keep up the great job.
Love to all reviewers,
