A/N: Meet Tabitha in this chapter, she's my own OC and now you can find out why she's here. Also this is set around the time when the cure is being created and Angel's mission will be coming out in the next couple of chapters or so. Hope you like it.
Tabitha stood in the middle of an unfamiliar room that would be her home now. She couldn't change the person she was anymore than the girl in the room next to her could, the girl she was to watch over until he got here in due time. Tabitha had a mission to with hold and she would do exactly that. Tabitha was a mutant like the rest of the household; her power held a difference no other held, a mix of more than one single ability. She had the power to invoke the element of earth at will though her power over it was limited. She was able to mould and control it at her will but she was unable to create it of her own, though her power to mould and control the element of earth was limited and she couldn't do heaps with it anyway. To complete her power she could also become an animal at will her animal she became was a golden tiger with silvery-yellow eyes, the inspiration for her code-name too. She was Tigress, a wild yet powerful person and she was on a mission.
As Rogue slept the thin shadow that passed over her went unnoticed. In her sleep she looked peaceful and innocent unlike the girl she was when she was awake. He wished he didn't have to leave but he had business to sort out before his return. He knew that Tigress would befriend the girl and kept her safe, he trusted her like the family she was. He watched as the girl rolled to face away from him, taking one last look at her he took to the air and disappeared through the open window. She was in Tigress's care for now until he could return. He trusted her completely, she was family through and through, her blood deemed it true. His only cousin would keep Rogue safe and befriend her; Rogue would still be here when he came to return once again.
Tabitha looked to the stars as her only cousin flew away into the moonlit skies. Tomorrow she would begin her mission and befriend the untouchable Rogue. In her world nothing was impossible, so this was her chance to shine, show the world the impossible was possible and that Rogue was capable of a normal life with friends even with the lack of skin to skin contact involved. Tabitha knew she'd do her cousin proud.
