A/N: Sorry for the wait, exams just finished and I know that I didn't update regularily like I said I would. Will try but will make no promises, life has become very hectic right now. Spitfire47

Okay so it wasn't too difficult hiding Pyro from everyone although I had made many mental notes to find a better hiding place then a bathroom. Pyro didn't seem to mind though and kept telling me that he was alright. I was still trying to figure out a way of telling Tyson that his dad was officially in the school but I also didn't want him to have a major freak out about it either. I tried to play back in my head what would happen if Tyson and Pyro met. Obviously some awkwardness but I would be able to handle that, the explaining...well Pyro and I would have to work on that. I walked downstairs to see everyone glued to the television of course but instead of the usual bickering over cartoons, it was set on the news channel.

"In other news," the anchorwoman explained, "People are wondering why the government doesn't just give those in GC max the cure and in quote 'be done with it.' General Dubwa explains that there is much paperwork and surveillance to be done if the cure is administered to the mutants who are in GC max. There is no doubt that the cure works but they are worried that if anything were to go wrong then they would be able to handle it calmly and safely. Also General Dubwa tells the public that there is no prison anywhere that would take the prisoners."

I listened and remembered what Pyro had told me last night, the reason they didn't administer the cure is because the mutants would loose their powers. No powers, no experiments. I walked into the kitchen to find Storm, Kitty, Bobby, and a few other mutants in a deep conversation. I slowly walked up to them. Storm turned around and saw me.

"Thank goodness you're up," she said coming over to me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"We need you to examine someone."

"Examine? Who?"

Storm took in a shaky breath and then said, "Rogue."

I was led down to the infirmary and while walking I thought back clearly remembering the girl. I remembered when we literally bumped into one another and I felt my powers slowly drain.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked wanting to know what I was going to deal with.

"She had gotten the cure," Bobby replied although his voice shook, "A few months ago."

"But now something has happened," Kitty said taking up the story, "We found her passed out this morning running a high fever but that wasn't the strange part."

"Bobby tried to cool her down," Storm said, "But instead his powers stopped working."

We walked at a quick pace to the infirmary and I waved my hand over the doors as we walked to the doors. The metal doors parted and I walked in and gasped. Rogue was lying on a metal table, sweat formed on her head, her hands were shaking and her eyes were squeezed shut. I rushed over and placed my hand on her head. Immediately I felt strange, like something was flowing out of my body and I took my hand back as if I had just touched fire. I looked at Rogue and couldn't comprehend on what I was seeing.

"What is wrong with her?" I asked shocked.

"We're not sure," Storm replied who's voice quivered. I placed my hands around her head careful to not actually touch her. I could feel something definitely different about Rogue's body. Something inside was spreading fast which was probably why she was so feverish, her body was working way too hard to fight whatever it was in her, but her body was losing.

"What is wrong with her?" Bobby asked.

I squeezed my eyes shut and replied, "I don't know...trying to find out."

I could sense some strange movement in Rogue's body that I tried to zoom in on but then immediately pulled back not wanting to mentally hurt Rogue either. I took in a breath and then immediately pinpointed on what the strange organism was doing. It seemed to be coating all of Rogue's DNA structure and seeping into other tissues and fighting off organisms. My eyes flashed open as I realized what was going on. Rogue was getting her powers back.

"What is it?" Storm demanded.

I went in again to make sure that I was right and I was. I realized that two organisms looked slightly similar but one was bigger and it seemed to be absorbing the smaller cell and moving on. The cure cells were shrinking making it quite possible for powers to come back.

"Rogue," I whispered and straightened, I could feel everyone anticipated and anxious on what I was going to say, "Rogue's getting her powers back."

That pretty much killed the morning. I stayed with Rogue all morning to monitor her process but each time I peered in, I could sense that her powers were growing and manifesting. I wondered how this could have happened.

"You alright?"

I turned to see Logan right behind me. He was standing arms folded and leaned up against the side of the doorway.

"Yeah," I muttered and then said, "She's fine too."

Logan smirked and then said, "Stay out of my head kid."

I couldn't help but smile back as I replied, "Didn't need to be telepathic to know that you wanted to know how she was doing."

Logan chuckled and walked in.

"So her powers are returning eh?" he asked standing beside me now, I could smell the faint scent of booze and smoke.

"I haven't quite made it clear yet," I corrected, "Who told you anyway?"

"Bobby and then Storm told me."

I rolled my eyes, I really wasn't comfortable with people going off telling others my suspicion of what was going on with Rogue, but honestly it looked that way.

"It will take a few days until her body adjusts."

"Will she get her old powers back?" Logan asked.

I shrugged. "I'm not totally sure, it all depends on how the mutant who was used for the cure, and how his mutated cells react to Rogue's."

We stood in silent, Rogue shifted in her sleep a few times and I had to tell Logan that it was natural as he almost tried to wake her up once.

"So Pyro's out," Logan started and I knew where he was going with this.

"Don't tell anyone," I replied.

Logan raised an eyebrow, "I'm still serious about the whole 'stay out of my mind' thing girly."

I looked at Logan and said, "I'm not hiding it from you because I know that you're going to play detective and look all over the mansion for him. He's in my room recovering, I would appreciate it if you just left it alone."

"You're not worried that I'd tell Storm?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Yep."

Logan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why?"

"Because if you tell Storm then I'll turn your mind into that of a six year old girl."

Logan chuckled and said, "Ah yeah, the professor used that one on me."

We stood in silence then I turned to leave and Logan whistled. I turned around.

"Just for the record," he said turning to me, "You're secret's safe with me."
