She was always untouchable. Her parents couldn't touch her. Her boyfriend couldn't touch her. What friends she had couldn't touch her. She didn't think it was fair. It was such a small thing to everyone but to her it was everything.
She went to Xaveirs in hopes of being able to touch again. She quickly realised it wouldn't be easy. She spent most of her time in pain. Her pain was both physical and emotional. Training to control her power meant touching someone. The only one strong enough to handle her powers was Wolverine. His memories were terrible. They gave her nightmares.
One night when Logan was away she locked herself in the bathroom she shared with Kitty. She took out a razor and dragged it across her wrist. She went deep, slicing open a vein, maybe two. The blood started to rush out. She grew paler bu the minute as her life left her body.
No body could touch her long enough to stop the bleeding and save her. Her powers were stronger. A mutants power normally were strongest right before they died. It was the bodies way of trying to save them.
He roughly pushed everyone out of his way. He was going ot save her or die trying. He very carefully picked up her wrist and put a piece of cloth over the wound. He tied it tightly to stop the flow of blood. That little bit of contact was already rapidly draining him.He fought for any strength he had left and lifted her up. He carried her to her bed and laid her down. Once he had laid her down he collapsed on the floor. Bobby and some other boy he didn't know got him up and carried him to the room he shared with the iceman.
Untouchable
She was untouchable again. This time it wasn't because of her power. It was because she was Bobby's girlfriend. No one stood a chance against the gentleman. He was sweet and caring. He was the boy you took home to mom and married.
John didn't believe he stood a chnace. He was to guarded to tell her how he felt anyways. He would have done anything for her though. All she ever had to do was ask. Finally one night she did.
"John?" That sweet southern voice caught his attention.
"Yes Marie?" He was the only one who called her Marie. Even Bobby called her Rogue.
"I want to ask you something..." She bit her lower lip. She always did when she was nervous.
"Well?" He sounded impatient but he had all the patience in the world for her.
"Can you make it stop?"
"Make what stop?"
"The pain. The memories that aren't mine. This damn power." By now she was crying. She knew he couldn't but she had to ask. He was the only one she trusted enough to save her. After all he did save her once before. "I just want to touch without having Logan's memories."
"I have an idea." She couldn't control her power but he could control his thoughts. He crashed his lips on hers and filled her with all the reasons he loved her. How he always loved her. The memory of being the one who saved her. All the things he felt about her but would never dare say aloud.
She was still untouchable but one person ould touch her. St. John Allerdyce made Marie touchable even if only to himself. She would always be untouchable to everyone but her pyromanic.
