CiceroGuided, Comma Happy, January13, julian's angel 2010, Kitty2228, AMBERLEAH, Psyc0gurl0, EPandAR4ever, pengwin-jibberish and irisheyesrsmiling – thank you all for your reviews, I'm sorry I couldn't comment on them but I hope you like this chapter, and please don't hate me by the end of it lol.

Reanne1102 – To be honest, I have no idea where this is heading, lol I have a rough outline in my head and a couple of scenes which I've gone over and over in my head as well, but apart from that….I'm just sort of going where ever I feel like, adding things, making notes of them and where they could go. And thank you, sometimes I worry that I'm not staying true to Rogue in cartoon or comics or the film, but I hope it gets across that this is movie Rogue, and she's a bit different, a bit younger, and that she's changing, even now. Thank you for my review, and I hope you like this chapter!

Maresia Eterna - Thank you for the review, and I will continue this, though I've kind of stuck myself again, I told myself that I will only do one fic at a time, but then I came up with two more that I'm really interested in continuing, this being one of them. So I'm switching between three fics lol. Anyway, enjoy this chapter.

Lunafan – Please, write an Angel/Rogue fic, we could start a club! Lol, anyway, I'm happy cause they put Angel in the category thing, now I can find Angel and Rogue fics a lot quicker. And I'm glad you noticed the little comment I put in there about her teeth, I hate it when people take what they know and fact and ignore it, I try not to do that. Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter, and thank you for your review.

Wolfesss – Riveting, eh? I kind of like that, lol. Anyway, this chapter is a bit slower, but it's needed. And you can wait no longer! (Eagerly or not) For here is the next chapter! Enjoy and I think you for your review, it was very welcome.

w1cked angel – I know what you mean, movie Rogue is a little bit…sucky. And in each movie her part got withered down into nothing. She would have been better with a bit of sass or something. But I'm trying my best to slowly change her into my liking lol. Well, thanks for the review, and I'm glad to hear you like Angel to! Hope you like this chapter!

Hiroshikata – Well, for the sake of good writing I will continue lol. I know what you mean with the, there not being many so the good ones are made even better, I've been found to write about very unusual pairings, it gets loney, but its fun. Thanks for the Review. Hope you like this chapter.

-Sweeping Shadows- - Have I told you lately that I love you? Omg, your reviews are mind blowing! Anyway, to comment on things you've said, This "New guy that Rogue just met" is gunna be quite important. But don't worry, this is still a Warren/Rogue fic, that won't change, and if you're having trouble picturing him, he looks likes Warren, with a bit of Gambit thrown in, and acts like Gambit and with hints of Logan. Does that make sense? Only he's more of a gentleman. And Storm is a very counselling person, I think that's one of the main reasons Xavier wanted her to take over for him. She's only a minor character, but she's special. And the whole never can over do emotions speech was very moving lol. Thanks for another fantastic review, and I dedicate this chapter to you so I hope you enjoy it!

Here I go, enjoy, and I'm sorry that it's a bit slow but there are some very important things in this chapter.


This isn't who ah am

Chapter Four – All I can taste is this moment

It was always harder to look at her after he realised he loved her. Harder to work with her, harder to watch as she kissed Bobby, harder to watch as she broke up with him because she looked as if she was breaking, right in front of him, as her tears started to fall as she just hugged him and forgave him. He didn't know why she had let Bobby go like she did, not many people knew that he was falling in love with Kitty, but the people who did also knew he would never act upon those feelings. Rogue pulled him over one day, she was the first to notice his feelings, not even Bobby or Kitty knew that he loved her.

Everyone else was watching a movie, he couldn't remember which one, he didn't care, but he had left when she did with Bobby. Seeing no reason to stay there anymore, he decided to go into the kitchen and get a beer; he had a habit of doing that now after he had anything to do with Rogue. And he walked into the kitchen and pressed his thumb on that small pad, it was smooth but worn down from how many times he and Logan had used it.

He took a bottle out, he hated the fact it was warm, but he knew he couldn't keep it in the fridge because of the children. He was about to twist the top off when he heard people talking out side. He instantly knew it was Rogue, he could see her legs just outside the doors. He guessed they were both sitting on the bench, getting a bit of peace and quite from everyone. Most likely so they can just kiss and be with each other.

"No! That's not true!" Bobby cried out, he seemed shocked and Warren suddenly got interested in what they were doing.

Her voice was calm, and it held an edge that showed that she knew what she was saying and that there is no point in denying it. "Bobby, ah know ya do. Ah see the way ya look at her." There was a slight pause and Warren wondered what was going on, all he could see where her legs. "Ah understand, and ah'm okay with it, ya didn't take action on ya feelings, ya stayed faithful, but ah know that ya love her-"

Her words were cut off by Bobby, his voice was shaking and Warren could almost picture Bobby's eyes pleading into Rogue's.

"No, no Rogue, I love you, I do, I really do." He didn't know what made him stop talking, but it went quite and she started talking again. She had stood up and turned away from him, so now Warren could see her clearly, but luckily she was looking straight past the doors and kitchen. She looked so sad, and Warren wanted to rush over to her and kiss her troubles away. He looked down at his feet for thinking that.

"But ya love her too. And we both know that you both should be together. Ah'm breaking up with ya Bobby." These words made Warren look up suddenly, was he hearing this? She was leaving him? He didn't know whether to be happy or sad, because she had started to cry. He was the only one who saw her tears, Bobby was still standing behind her, her back to him.

"Ah'm giving ya the freedom ta be with her, with out cheatin' or feeling guilty. Ah want ya to be with her." She didn't wipe the tears away.

"But I still love you, Rogue."

"Ah know, and that's why ah'm leaving. Makin' it easier for ya, and Kitty and everyone. Be with her Bobby, make meh proud."

Warren had to give Bobby credit, he didn't want her to leave and by the looks of it neither did her. He saw Bobby's hands grab her by the waist and spin her around. He watched as he kissed so passionately that he was sure she wouldn't leave after it.

As he let go of her, she smiled up to him through her tears, "She loves ya too ya know."

There was a very long pause, one which made even Warren feel uncomfortable. But it gave him time to think. She was leaving? But she couldn't, he loved her and she couldn't leave him. Except she didn't know that he loved her.

"Why do you have to leave? None of us want you to go away."

Warren was pulled out of his thoughts and he felt his heart fall and wanted to actually rip it out just so he could feel bad for what he heard her say next.

"That's not true, lahke Angel says, ah'm not a mutant. Ah don't belong here, Bobby. And how can ya get over meh and be with Kitty if ah'm always 'round here? Anyway, Ah got a job in New York now, and ah found a nahce building that's just been built and it's got apartments goin' really cheap. Ah know what ah'm doing, just think about what ya want, ah know it's not meh." After that speech there was another pause, one where she hung her head, but quickly lifted it and gave Bobby a hug. For the last time she said, "Ah forgive ya." Before she turned around and walked back into the kitchen, leaving Bobby outside to contemplate what just happened.

Warren quickly made it look like he had just come in, he turned away from Rogue and the patio and he opened his beer and took a swig. He heard Rogue gasp and he turned around to look at her, she was wiping her tears away now and she looked at Warren with eyes full of sadness.

They stood there for a couple seconds, just looking at each other. Warren wanted to walk over to her and hug her, hold her so close to him that all her tears and problems went away, but he held himself back. He didn't know why, she needed someone to be there for her, and it wasn't like she had a boyfriend anymore.

Finally Rogue gave a weak smile and went to brush past him. After she did, she stopped at the door and turned around to him, "Angel?"

He turned around, and tried to make himself seem normal by taking a swig at his beer.

She looked as if she was going to ask him something, but she seemed to be fighting inwardly about it. After a couple seconds she took a step back into the kitchen and closer to him.

"Ah'm leavin' and there's a place up York that ah would lahke ta rent, only ah have to have a deposit of nine hundred dollars. Ah was wonderin' if ah could get a loan off ya for it. Ah'll pay ya back, with interest, probably by the end of the June. Please, ah just.. .. Don't have anything.. .. Ah don't have the money right now." She sounded beat by the end of her explanation. He didn't want her to leave. It was breaking him just to think about it, and she meant it, it wasn't an empty promise, she was planning it, she had already found everything, a job, a place. All she need was the money. Money that he had.

She looked so desperate, yet determined. Warren found himself nodding, he ran a hand thought his hair.

"Yeah, sure."

Rogue's face lighted up and but she kept a straight face, she was still upset from what just happened, Warren guessed she wouldn't be smiling for awhile. "Ya sure?"

He nodded firmly. "Yes, I am sure, Rogue. I will have it ready for you tomorrow if that will meet your requirements." If he couldn't have her here, he guessed that he would at least want her to be in place that he knew about, that she was safe in.

Rogue nodded. "Yeah, that's perfect.. ..Thanks Angel." She said before turning out and heading up the stairs.

He watched as she left and took a swig of his beer, pulling it back down from his mouth he frowned at it being warm. Walking outside and to the patio, he took the bottle by its body and threw it out into the pond surrounding the water fountain. He stood there for a second, looking at where the bottle had landed in the pond, he watched the little updraft of water that came up when it made contact and quickly sink. He watched as the ripples emerge from where the bottle had landed and spread out to until they faded.

He turned around, now with a cooled downed mind and expected to see Bobby, upon seeing him, coming up with an excuse for what he just did. But he didn't. Bobby wasn't there, or in the kitchen. Sighing Warren was pleased that he wouldn't have to lie and make up a justification for throwing a beer bottle into a pond.

Walking back into the mansion he looked up before he left and saw Rogue enter her room and switch the light on. He saw her open her wardrobe and take out a duffle bag, which looked like it was already packed. He watched as she took out another bag, a smaller one, and open it, she took the pictures off her night stand and put them into it and pull out the small draw in the stand and empty it straight into the bag by turning it upside down.

He shook his head and forced himself to stop watching her.

He wondered now, as he lay on his bed, wings flat against his back, that if he had refused her the money, if she would have stayed, even if it was just for a little while. He knew she would have stayed for a couple extra weeks, working hard to get the money before leaving. He wondered if it was better that she had left the very next day, or if it would have been better if she waited for a week or two before going. But he knew she didn't have any reason to stay, anything that may have been a bit of hope, or at least none that anyone had told her about.

He stood up and pulled a shirt out of his wardrobe; he pressed his wings closer to his body and tugged the shirt on over them. He buttoned it up and grabbed a suitcase out of the bottom of the closet and placed it on his bed. He unlocked the two small locks on the top of it and opened it. It was empty and Warren walked back to the wardrobe again and unhooked a couple more shirts and folded the pile in half and placed them on one side of the small suitcase.

He turned and looked at the many suits he had hanging up, he sighed and grabbed the first hand full he found. He did the same with the shirts and walked over to his chest of draws, opening the middle draw, he grabbed a hand full of socks and threw them into the still open case on him bed, he did the same with underwear and took a folded tie that lay at the side of the draw and walked back to the suit case. The tie was silk and a deep green that had many rows of small white wings that unless you looked closely, just looked like white blobs in a pattern. He smiled at the tie and remembered last Christmas and that Rogue had gotten it for him.

Christmas. It was almost seven months ago, but he could still remember when he opened the small flat box and saw the tie laying there in gold paper. He looked up at Rogue as she told to story of how hard it was to find to everyone and he couldn't help but love her more. She didn't know that he loved her; she still thought he hated her yet, she had gotten him a present anyway. He smiled and thanked her. He watched her confusion as Kitty gave her a present that had her name on it, but no sign of who had sent it. Jubilee squealed and giggled something about a secret admirer, to which Rogue rolled her eyes.

She slowly opened it, to much of the other girls annoyance, Warren couldn't look away, he knew that if he kept staring and she saw, that she'd understand that he was the one who brought it for her, but he wanted to see her reaction so badly.

Slowly she took out the black belt. She ran her fingers over the many different gypsy style patterns and studs. She smiled lightly, and Warren watched her intensely, he knew everyone was watching her as she studied the belt so carefully. She seemed to laugh to herself for a second and Warren wondered what she was thinking.

"Oh my god, Rogue, it's beautiful!" Kitty said.

"Ah know.. .." Rogue agreed, it really was beautiful. It was different, in a really good way, it took in her kind of style and she already could think of a couple items of clothes it would go perfect with. She quickly snapped out of her daze like state and looked in the box for a name tag or some hint of who sent it. Warren quickly looked away as she began to scan the room. She looked back down at the belt and saw a gift tag hanging on the end of it. She hurriedly turned it over to see what it said. She frowned when she saw it just had the words "I'm hugging Rogue's waist, how cool am I?" written on it. She showed it to the other girls and they all laughed.

Warren glanced back at her whist he was having a conversation with Hank. He saw her standing and tugging the belt on and through all the hoops in her dark faded jeans. He noticed how well it went with them and looked up to see her face, she was smiling, yet it held a slight hint of disappointment and wonder to it. He smiled to himself, and breathed out in a sign of relief, she liked it. He wondered what she would do if she ever found out it was a designer one of a kind belt, that cost more then she would make in a month, but he just turned back to Hank, he nodded and agreed with what he just said, glad that Rogue had no clue who sent her the belt, yet slightly saddened that she would also never know it was him.

He threw the tie on top of everything in the case and shut it quickly, flipping the locks shut as he did so. He slipped his business shoes on and picked up the tickets and mobile phone off his bed side table.

He grabbed the suitcase with his other hand and the jacket on his chair that matched his trousers in the hand that held the phone and plane tickets. He threw it over his shoulder and held the case by the handle in his hand and walked out his room, shutting the door by hooking his foot round it.

He walked out to the main door, he saw Bobby and Peter playing of the football table and saw Kitty, Jubilee and Rahne watching the big TV near them. He walked over to Kitty and tapped her on the shoulder, she turned around and smiled when she saw him.

"Hey Warren, what's up?"

Warren cleared his throat before talking to her. "Can you tell Ororo that I have left next time you see her please."

Kitty nodded and smiled at him. "Sure. Have a good trip." She said nicely.

Warren laughed at her comment. "I will try. Thank you." He turned and walked to the door and left. He walked to the garage and tugged his keys out of his pocket. Opening the door to his car her leaned in and placed the case in the other seat of his Aston Martin. He got in a placed his hands on the cool leather of the steering wheel, he loved this car, it was the DB8, and practically perfect in his opinion.

He started it and drove smoothly out of the garage and to the airport.

Rogue looked down at the papers she spent the two hours sorting the other day. Every time someone came in and said their name, she checked her list and if they were on it she gave them one of the stapled pieces of paper. It was simple, which also made it mind numbingly boring. She ran a hand along her hair, which today was held up in a tight bun, her white hair half dangling down the side of her face, and some brushed back in the bun.

She looked up and saw Warren; she instantly stopped breathing and stood up in anticipation. But when he got closer, she realised it wasn't Warren but the man she had met the other day, Calvin. She slowly sat back down and smiled up to him when he reached the desk.

"Hey, what ya doing here?" She asked lightly.

"Wow, the second you become friend with you, you lose all politeness don't you?" he kidded and smiled back to her.

Rogue laughed and checked her list to see if Calvin's name was on it. "Sorry shugah, ah just didn't feel like sayin' "Hello, welcome ta the Sony Tower, how may ah help ya" one more time."

Calvin smirked at her reply, "Mr Calvin Rankin, here to hold the beRage conference this morning."

Rogue's eyes widened, she looked down at the papers she had been handing out to everyone that came though the doors that morning. She never noticed before, or made the connection. At the top it said "The beRage" Presented by Dr Calvin Rankin. Her mouth dropped and she looked up at the uncomfortable looking man on the other side of the desk.

"Doctor? You're a doctor?"

The man winced and nodded grimly. "Yeah, but it's nothing special, I can't save anyone's life, it's a doctor in technology. Basically I know loads about computers and make stuff for them."

"Lahke this beRage thing?"

"Yeah, that's one of them."

"Still, that's pretty cool." She handed him on of the papers and he looked down at it calmly, "Here, good luck Calvin, it's starting in 'bout half hour."

He forced a smile and tapped the paper on the desk. "Do you know how many people have turned up yet?"

She nodded and quickly counted the peoples names on the list that she had highlighted. Flipping over onto the next page and the next she glanced up and answered, "Roughly sixty at the moment, wait," she flicked over onto the last page and found on highlighted person, which there was a small note next to, she looked back up to him, "One of them brought 'bout seven other people with him so ya only got ta worry 'bout approximately seventy people."

Calvin groaned and grabbed the sheets of paper on the desk and nodded to Rogue. "Damn, I was hoping no one would show, I'd then just drink in misery on my own."

"Well the only reason ah'm here is ta sort out this meeting, so when it finishes ah'm free ta go, so we can go out and drink together in misery." Calvin laughed and said a quick good bye before walking briskly into the room where the conference was being held.

She smiled as the door shut behind him. She turned to her computer and opened the internet, the homepage popped up and she was about to click on the address bar but she saw the news section of the page it was opened on. She looked closer and saw that her first reading of the headline was correct. It was about the Worthington Enterprise and how Warren Worthington III was now taking it over. She smiled lightly and wondered how he was, he was in such a state the other day that she hoped he was alright. Sure he was always cruel to her, and he was one of the main reasons she left the mansion, but after seeing someone like he was the other day, she couldn't help but feel sorry and concerned about him.

She decided to open up the link to read the full story, she read through it quickly and looked at the picture that came with the story. It was Warren and he was shaking someone else's hand, his wings hidden underneath the suit he was wearing. Below the picture it had the caption; Warren Worthington III will be arriving at WE HQ later this afternoon.

Raising her eyebrows she guessed she wouldn't be seeing Warren anytime soon then.

She went back to what she was doing before, typing in the address for her email account she pushed the enter, slowly the page opened up and she signed in and watched as her account showed up on the screen.

She clicked on her inbox and noted that she had two new emails. She waited for the page to load up and smiled as she saw that both of the were from Shadowcat and that the one of them had a small paper clip next to it. She opened it other one first and read it.

Shadowcat was Kitty, she and Rogue had been in constant contact over the past couple of months. Basically talking about what's been going on in the mansion and what they've both been up to, it was nice, her way to stay in contact with what was happening and she always found it helpful to have a friend. Especially one who was brilliant.

She spoke about Warren leaving, and them trying to decide who should be on the X-men, she smiled when she learnt it was going to be Roberto, he was a sweet guy, always joking and laughing. She was a little saddened that they had replaced her, but understood, they couldn't go on without another person, what if an emergency happened and they were needed? She couldn't go out and help, she didn't have her powers and mostly, she wasn't even there anymore.

She smiled and was about to reply when she remembered the other email, she went back and opened it, she downloaded the attached file and opened it. It was a picture, of most of the students and some of the teachers; she looked closer and tried to figure out who everyone was. She spotted Logan and Storm on one side, Storm holding Logan by the arm to make him stay. Close to them were Beast and Angel, and working her way to the right she saw Kitty, Bobby, Roberto, Jubilee, Siren and Sam. She laughed a bit at Sam's goofy expression; she remembered that she had always called him, her little southern friend. She knew the picture must have been taken a couple weeks ago, because Sam left about a month ago and she couldn't see anyone she didn't know, she frowned, wanting to see what Rahne must be like. Down at the front of the picture were loads of small students, she noticed one of them to be Peter's little sister and the girl next to her to be Sam's. Both of the small girls were smiling had their arms around the others shoulders. She always knew those two would be great friends.

She printed the picture off and folded it in half and put in her jacket pocket. She then started to reply to Kitty's emails.

She spoke about the man she had met, Calvin, and that he was the inventor of beRage and that she was a computer genius and if she knew anything about it. She wrote about how work was and asked Kitty about her and Bobby, she then quickly wrote a bye and that she should get back to work, because she was meant to be bringing in drinks for everyone in the meeting.

She sent the message and clicked the little x in the corner of the screen and stood up. Walking to the room down the hall, she thanked one of the catering staff as she took the tea and coffee trolley and made her way down to the conference room with it.

She knocked on the door and opened it carefully and rolled the trolley in and to the table at the side of the room, by the door. She started to take all the cups and pots off the trays and put them on the table and she had the strong feeling that nearly everyone was watching her and all the males staring at her butt.

She heard someone cough and start to speak again, she knew from his voice that it was Calvin and when she had finished, she stood up and took the empty trolley with her, but not before giving Calvin, who was standing at the front of the room, a massive projector and screen behind him, a reassuring wink and smile, which he slyly returned before speaking again, continuing his speech.

As she closed the door behind her, she couldn't help but think about how strikingly attractive he was. He seemed so smart and.. .. sensibly, without being boring or predictable.

She returned the trolley to the kitchen entrance and went back to her desk. She sat there bored for a little while, contemplating something. She finally decided that she didn't care how dumb or stereotypical she would look, she opened her bag, which was underneath her desk, and pulled out a nail file. She sat there, sorting out her nail, she had broken it when sorting out all the coffee, cups and pots just then.

She spent a couple minutes sorting it out, until she realised she couldn't make it grow to match the others and just left it, flat at the top, yet smaller then the rest of her nails. Sighing she wondered how long it would take the meeting to finish, looking up behind her at the clock that hung on the wall, she saw that it was nearly one. Meaning they had just been in there for nearly two hours.

She was about to open her email again and see if Kitty had replied when she saw a beautiful Aston Martin drive by over the other side of the entrance of the building through the glass wall. It was a DB8, which reminded her of Warren's. It was black, so it couldn't be his, Warren's was silver.

She wondered why she kept thinking of Warren so much, she had thought Calvin was him when he came in this morning, and read the story about Warren on the internet. She guessed it was just because she saw him the other day and was still concerned for him. She thought back to the other day, he had been so fragile and she couldn't help but try and help him. She had to wonder why he would come to her though. It's not like she was the closest person to him, to be honest they hadn't seen each other in awhile, the last time was when he had given her to money she needed. She didn't even see him after that. She just sent the money to him via post. She had asked Kitty as well in one of her emails, and Kitty had just said he seemed fine around the mansion, kind of a loner, but he never cried or showed any real emotions.

Rogue looked back out the glass doors and the Aston had gone. She sighed and looked at a pile of paper clips on the desk. She picked up a few and started to bend them, and twist them, she never used to do that, but after she had absorbed Magneto, it seemed like it had become one of her habits. Frowning she looked down at a small pile of thin metal strips in straight lines. Too straight for her to bend that way, she past it off as a coincidence or a freak of nature and heard the door to the conference room open. She looked up.. ..

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Kitty had just finished history, one of the most boring subjects in the world in her opinion. She liked up to date stuff, not the past, that's why she loved computers and mainly, her ipod, which she had affectionately named, Alan. She smiled as she slipped Alan out of her pocket and went over to her desk where she got the cable that connected her ipod to her laptop. She opened the lid to her laptop and pressed her finger on the mouse pad and wiggled it. Her laptop suddenly woke up and she sat down on her chair and waited for it to load up.

She spun around on her chair for a second and stopped, "Come on, Joan." She said to her computer and ran her hand through it, that rarely helped it hurry up, but it made Kitty feel better.

Finally it loaded up and it read that she had one new message. She opened it up and smiled when she found that it was from Rogue, or rather her screen name, Southern Baptist girl. Kitty always laughed at her screen name, many times Rogue had explained to her that it was the way she was raised, but Kitty still found it comical.

She opened up the email and started to read it but when she read the name Calvin Rankin she stared at the two words very carefully, like she had heard of them before, she continued reading and when her eyes crossed the words "beRage" she phased though her chair. Landing on the floor with a thud, she didn't care because she was trying to remember where she kept her Computer Monthly magazine. She left it in the living room, she closed her eyes and phased down to the level below, the living room. And stopped phasing just in time for her to land on the sofa. She jumped up and saw her magazine on the coffee table, she grabbed it and closed her eyes again. Slowly she jumped up and started to phase before she started to fall back down towards the floor. Slowly she rose up and went through the ceiling, into her room again. She floated up until she landed on her chair again.

She then frantically flipped through the pages and came across and article. Titled "Upcoming products that will change technology forever." And on the first page it had the product and man that Rogue was talking about in the email. She smiled and returned to the email, excited with knowledge that Rogue was now friends with the next Bill Gates.

Kitty was about to reply but she remembered something Bobby had asked her to do. She smiled at the thought of Bobby, she really did truly and deeply love him. And she was eternally thankful for Rogue, for doing something she could never do, give up the man she loved so he can go love another. Her smile saddened, but still remained as she thought back to the night Bobby had told her he loved her. She would remember that night forever, but she couldn't help but feel guilty, Rogue had left because she knew that if she was there, at the mansion with them all, that Bobby would never tell her.

The night Rogue returned to the mansion, she and Kitty were outside by the pool, they were talking about something she couldn't remember now, but it was the first time she found out about how religious Rogue was.

They were all either sitting on sun lounges or standing, Beast and Logan were both sitting in normal chairs and Storm, Kitty, Jubilee and Rogue were all lying on the beds.

Kitty was on her back, sunglasses on her head, and saw looked over to Rogue, who was turning over, Jubilee had somehow convinced them all to come outside and work on their tans. She heard Rogue groan and sit up.

"This is so borin'! Why do ya do this all the tahme Jubs?"

"Cause I need to stay tanned and beautiful!"

"Ya already tanned! Ya Chinese fa Gawds sake!"

Kitty laughed and rolled over, she shut her eyes and was enjoying the warm sun on her skin when she heard a gasp.

She kept her eyes shut and just listened, she always found that if you listened rather then spoke all the time, you find out more.

"Oh mah Gawd." Rogue spoke slowly, with a lot of awe in her voice, "Y'all don't -- ah mean -- an angel with -- with wings and the whole thing. Ah just saw an angel! A real-life honest to Gawd Angel."

"Do no fret Rogue, that's Warren, he is a mutant, just like you, like us. Not a real Angel." Ororo reassured Rogue.

"But why does he look lahke that? Ah mean, the way ah was raised, he looks lahke every angel ah've ever believed in! He could have looked lahke anything.. .. why?" Kitty smiled at Rogue's strange reaction to Warren. She had to admit though, it was the same way she reacted too.

"Dunno, kid, mutation got a funny way of workin'." Logan spoke up.

Rogue didn't seem to let it go like that though. "But, ya'll remember Kurt, he looked lahke a demon, far from it as he was, but people seem lahke they just walked out of a paintin' or the bible! An' that kid who walks on water!"

Beast chuckled lightly at Rogue's comment, "Yes, Rogue, you are correct, you are clearly illustrating the things around you, some mutants powers can be very biblical, and I think that is a very good discussion point, maybe I could bring it up in one of my classes and see what other students think and feel, see if they have ever noticed they all live in a world of Demon's and Angel's and if they all just think it's a coincidence or if mutant powers do represent more then we think."

Kitty smiled, she would love to hear that discussion. Deciding to join in herself she turned over and spoke up.

"Your right, of all the forms we could mutate into, it's very bizarre that some mutants look like that. I could do some more research if you want Rogue." Kitty really needed a good reason to use Joan, she didn't have any school work right now and she felt that Joan was getting a bit lonely.

"That would be great, Kit. Ah was raised all catholic, ah just think it's all a little close ta home fa meh." Kitty watched as Rogue got up and walked into the mansion.

She wondered why Rogue reacted so weird towards Warren, and she always wondered if she held it against him and that's why they never really got on, but she knew that wasn't really it. She knew Warren loved her, she was the first person to realise. The longer then usual glances when no one was looking. The way he always insulted her, he always stood up for her opinions when ever she wasn't around yet never admitted that it was really her that he was standing up for.

She realised the instant change when Rogue left, he was more sulky, he wanted to be alone a lot more and he was always perking up when Rogue was concerned.

Warren knew she knew. And Kitty knew that Ororo knew as well, Warren always shoved them away when they asked him about it, but something inside of Kitty never made her stop. She guessed that if she helped get Warren and Rogue together, she would feel less guilty about Rogue breaking up with Bobby and leaving, just so they could go out.

She stood up and walked through her door and jumped up, grabbing onto the ceiling and pulling herself up to the next floor and into the room in front of her. It was Bobby's. She was extremely thankful the Storm had given her a CD with all the blueprints of the mansion. It was very hard to access though, so many codes and passwords to get into it, but she guessed that was because of the attack on the mansion nearly three years ago now.

She was about to walking into his room, when she paused. Her shoulders dropped and she knocked on the door.

"Yep?" At that reply she walked into the room and saw her boyfriend, she smiled and walked over to him, she hugged him and gave him a light kiss before pulling away, his arms around her, she looked up into his ice blue eyes.

"Wanna go out?"

"Sure, where to?" he moved his face down so his nose touched hers.

"Well, I need to pick up this program, but after that, we can do anything."

"Sounds good."

She smiled up at him and breathed a light breath of air out through her nose.

"Cool."

Bobby smirked and blew some cool air onto her face. Kitty giggled and kissed Bobby once more.

After everyone had cleared out of the conference room, Rogue watched as everyone shook people's hands and speak about things she didn't understand. She saw Calvin and smiled over to him, he was talking to a tall brown haired man, and she blushed down at the papers in front of him when he pointed over to her and the other man looked over and saw her. The man started walking over to her and rested his brief case on the desk before he started speaking.

"May I use your phone, my battery just died on me." He was British, and Rogue smiled and nodded.

"Sure, ah just have ta type in a code first." She picked up the phone and held it to her ear, when she heard it make a humming noise she pressed down on a couple numbers and handed it to the man. "There ya go, just dial in the number now." She held up the rest of the phone and put it lightly on the high desk so the man could reach it.

He quickly dialled and held it to his ear. After a surprisingly quick time she heard someone pick up and distinctly heard a man talk.

The man began to speak and she lost or concentration, she looked over to Calvin, she had to admit, it was nice having someone she knew near, it made her day seem a bit happier.

The man coughed and she turned to him quickly, he was holding the phone over to her, which she took and placed back down to where it belonged. The man thanked her and she said it was okay and that she hoped he had a nice day, he smiled, nodded and left.

After everyone had left she sighed and contemplated standing up, but she didn't really want to put her feet through unnecessary pain because of the shoes she had to wear. She decided not to and looked down and checked her feet, just to make sure they weren't bleeding or fallen off. She looked back up and saw Calvin was on the other side of her desk, looking down at her.

"Don't worry, their still there. You up for that drink now?" His voice was upbeat, but it also seemed a bit worn out, she guessed it was most likely all the talking he had just been doing.

"Ah need ta wait for the other girl to show up first, ah can't leave mah trusty desk alone." Calvin smiled and Rogue realised she was flirting. It kind of struck her quickly and with force that she had been seeing this guy. She'd gone and had drinks with him, she was going out with him again and she was okay with it, that was the most surprising thing about it.

"Okay, well you wanna know what beRage is? I've been talking about it for a couple months now, everyone seems to be interested, but then again, their all computer freaks, I guess you'd die of boredom if I told you." He joked, Rogue smiled up at him and nodded.

"Ya probably right, ah only know really how ta click, double click, turn it on, turn it off, open emails, send emails an' hit it when it freezes it." She looked over his shoulder and saw the other receptionist arrive. She stood up and picked up her bag. "Ah have a friend who loves computers though. She's a real genius with 'em. She's named it Joan." Calvin laughed and the woman, who was walking to the door where they all had to sign in, turned and raised an eyebrow at her.

"See I think I should meet her, maybe introduce her to Steve." Rogue gave him a blank look, he sighed and looked down at his shoes, embarrassed, "I call my laptop Steve, I just remembered you didn't know that."

After they stopped laughing and Rogue pulled her bag onto her shoulder she asked "So, where ya wanna go?"

"Well, it's only three, so it's too early to drink.. .. " Rogue laughed as he looked at his watch, no trace of a joke on his face.

"Well, ah quickly need ta sign out an' then ah'll be all yours." She turned around and began to walk to the door marked for Staff Only. When she reached it she finally realised what she had said to him, she blushed furiously, and as she opened the door she saw the reflection of him staring at her in the door.

She quickly came back out, the other receptionist just in front of her.

When Rogue reached Calvin, he held is arm for her, which she light-heartedly took and walked out of the entrance. She turned to head in the direction where the coffee shop they went to the other day was, but Calvin stopped her.

"Er….I bought my car with me." He said lamely, pointing over to the Sony car park. She nodded and began to walk over to gate that lead to it.

She smiled at his cuteness. And she felt a small flutter in her chest, this man was generally interested in her and she felt happy about it. When she first found out Bobby had liked her, even with her powers, she had always felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable because she felt she was holding him back. She never really had a relationship with him until she gave up her powers and even then she never felt at ease with their situation because she could tell that he was falling for Kitty.

She guessed she was just born unlucky in love, that's why she was given those powers, because if there's no one to touch anyway, why be upset that you can't touch even if you wanted to.

For many years she had mused and believed that touch was one of the most natural things in the world. A baby would die without touch from someone and people would be isolated and rejected, that is until everyone dies out because they can not reproduce and continue civilization.

"Cool, so what car ya got?"

"It's a rented car, I ended up with a BMW, I think it's an M3, to be honest, I know nothing about cars. I'm more of a bike person. I prefer the freedom it gives, plus, cars just smell, that whole new car smell isn't nice, makes me feel sick." He told her as he guided her to the very back of the car park where his car was on its own.

Rogue nodded, she didn't know much about cars either, but spending most of her time in the mansion, where Logan wouldn't shut up about bikes, it helped her learn a bit about them.

He pulled out a set of keys, and fumbled with them for a second before finally managing to open the car. Rogue got in and looked around the insides of the car, it was all leather and plastic, she ran her hands along some of the many surfaces. After she had given up her powers she had become very tactile, touching every surface she could, to make up for the lack of contact over the last couple of years.

She watched as Calvin got in relax in the chair and looked over to her.

"You okay? Cool, so you not gunna go running like last time?"

Rogue smiled at his comment, she couldn't figure out why she had reacted that way when he mentioned the mansion, she loved it there, and would go back to visit if she had the chance, but it was just kind of sudden when he mentioned it.

"Not unless ya give meh a reason ta."

He gave Rogue a strange look before starting the car. He sat there for a couple more seconds, the same bewildered look on his face before finally asking her the question on his mind.

"Why are you coming with me? I could be a rapist or a murderer.. .."

Rogue let out a small chuckle, "Ya don't seem lahke one, plus ah could take ya." She stated simply.

Calvin raised an eyebrow at her, and started to drive out of the car park. "Really now? I've seen that your acrobatic," Rogue gasped when she remembered when she first saw him, she had just done a backwards flip off of her unstable chair, she hoped he hadn't seen it, but obviously he had. She blushed at the thought of him watching her as she did that. "But I'm still strong, plus I got my powers."

"Ya powers only work when other mutants are 'round, ya said so ya self, an' maybe ah'm stronger then ah look." She glanced up at him and saw him concentrating on the road in front of him and driving. She looked over to the street and told him to take a left.

He smiled and turned left, "So where we going?"

"Depends, ya wanna get drunk or ya wanna just get a drink? But ah have ta say, ah'm only twenty, so ah can't legally drink."

Calvin seemed to think about this for a second, before turning and looking at her as he slowed the car down at traffic lights.

"Wanna go to my hotel?"

Rogue smiled and nodded, "Sure, sounds good."

Calvin smiled and looked back at the lights, they were changing back and he reached his hand up quickly and pushed a button, slowly the roof lifted up and back, folding away behind them, Rogue watched as the top did this and thanked god she wore her head up and back.
