Rogue had just finished her breakfast which consisted of a bowl of wheetabix, sweetner, and cold milk along with a freshly made cup of tea. With her appetite sated, Rogue padded out of the kitchen barefoot in her pjs. She had a simple pair of floor length black and white chequered pj bottoms, and a long sleeve silk thin polo neck pj t-shirt. Her flame red hair was unruly and untamed, as well as loose. It was very early in the morning, and Rogue preferred to have breakfast at this time. It lowered the risk of bumping into anyone and risking their lives on her skin. Her fingers rubbed against the black elbow length gloves she wore, twiddling her fingers nervously as she padded back up to her room. Once inside she stripped off, padded into her en-suite, and turned on the shower. She took a long lazy shower, deciding if the only way she would feel touch was touch herself such as washing her hair and touching her arms for example, then she was going to indulge. Besides, she did like the feel of something even though it was just water touching her skin. She loved the feel of the wind too, and touch of grass on her bare skin. So many small and simple things many took for granted that Rogue depended on just to feel the simple sense of touch.
After three quarters of an hour Rogue wrapped a fluffy white towel around herself before walking over to her wardrobe. In the end she picked out a pair of ankle length black leggings, an elbow sleeve length black v neck dress shirt ( that went down to her knees ), elbow length black gloves, a pair of black ankle length Ugg boots, and a thin beige belt which she put around her body just under her bust. Rogue then grabbed a beige long sleeved waist length cardigan to go with her outfit. After she had dried herself she got changed, before drying her hair. She left it down in loose curls, before giving her room a quick once over. She quickly tidied what needed to be tidied before glancing at her watch. She had an appointment with Xavier at nine am, and it was eight fourty five am. She would be on time. Maybe even a little early. Content she was ready to go she left her room, shutting her door before walking down the corridor at a lesuirely pace, making sure not to bump into anyone.
Before long she found herself stood outside Xavier's office. Taking in a deep breath she lifted her hand to knock. She waited for a few minutes before grasping the door knob and opening the door. As if on automatic pilot she wandered to the seat infront of Xavier's desk before sitting down. Rogue supposed though it was instinctive for her to come to this seat and sit down. She had been working with Xavier for a while to try and get some control over her skin. She really wished she knew what was wrong with her that made it so she couldn't gain control. Of course if she knew it was a mental barrier stopping her from not only gaining control but for her power to progress so she could access the powers and memories of anyone she touched at will, she would have been able to tell Xavier that so he could start instructing her on how to tear the barrier down. As it was, she didn't know, and as far as Rogue knew neither Xavier or Jean had been able to find out the problem either.
"Hello Professor."

Xavier was in his office it was starting to feel that this is were he lived now. he was tempted to move a bed in to here so he did not have to walk to his room for all of an hour sleep. He would be glad when all this paper work was over and done. he heard some one at the door. it never ended and in truth he never wanted to end. He heard some one at the door and got up a lot of people were coming and going.
he smiled when he saw Anne Marie. it was good that some of the x men had come and stayed at the school. "hello Anne Marie i was just think about you. how are you?" he normal made a note of not reading his students minds with out there consent and he would not unless there was a need.

"Ahm fine thankyou Professor."
Rogue responded with a small smile as she lifted her head to look up at Xavier. Her southern accent dripped off her soft voice. Tucking a strand of white hair behind her hair she smiled shyly at Xavier.
"How are ya professor?"
She asked politely. She may not have lived with her adoptive parents long, but they had taught her manners, and as a Southern Belle, Rogue was not about to forget those manners. Besides, Xavier had given her a home, and for that she would always be entirely grateful. One day she did hope she'd have control over her ability though. To just be able to have a simple handshake... That was her dream whilst others dreamt of fame, fortune, and other such material things. Rogue couldn't help but envy other people. At least her curse had done one good thing for Rogue - she learnt not to take anything for granted, especially the little things. Rogue knew if anyone could figure out how to help her gain control it was Xavier. His telepathy helped also.

"tired Anne Marie, tired. Its the joys of running slightingly understaffed school but you did not come here to listen to an old man moan about his problems what is it i can do for you?" HE smiled hoping it was something that could take his mind of forms and paper work that the school produced. he knew she was not fine he could see it in her eyes but he knew better than to ask her about it.
He did have a few thinks he wanted to talk to her about and hoped that she would agree it may do her some good in the long run but that could wait for now.

"If ya need meh to teach or anything professor, then ah'd be more then happy to help."
Rogue offered, not liking to see or hear that Charles was suffering. She honestly hadn't thought about teaching before but she liked little kids, so she knew she could probably help them out a lot. Besides, despite the fact she was scared of her ability - and therefore limited her social interaction - she was getting lonely. Teaching, she supposed, would be a nice way to have social interaction but help out also. Rogue had a good heart, and if she could help anywhere she would. She was just the kind of girl who would sacrifice herself for anyone else. Especially if it was within her reach to do so. She listened as Charles asked what he could do for her today.
"Honestly professor... Ah want to have control over meh ability... Ah was hoping you could try again to figure out how ah can do that."

"Of course you have meh permission professor. Ahm willing to do anything to get control."
Rogue responded with a soft smile. She did hope the professor took her seriously when she mentioned she would be willing to help around the mansion as a teacher if he needed. She'd do anything to help him. Well, anything to help anyone. Rogue had such a pure heart, and if she could do something to help someone then she would do it. It was just who she was and who she had been brought up to be.
"Ah will definately be at the meeting professor. Just let meh know the time and ah will be right here."
She answered with an affirmitive nod.

"Thank you i knew i could count on you for this. I think it may be time for the x men to get a couple of new team members and i want every one feed back on this. But lets not talk about that for now we are here for you. How are things with you?" he felt so bad for her at time's her power pushed her out of the world even more than a normal mutant and she was such a kind caring person but she had it tougher than any one else.
"would you care for a drink?" Xavier headed towards a small fridge and opened it up he pulled out a bottle of water and got him self a drink and one of rouge as well. He walked towards her and offered her the glass.

"Couple new team members? Yeah, that could be good... The mutant population is always increasin', which means the anti mutant people are always increasin' too. We could help more people if we had more team members."
Rogue responded softly, agreeing with Xavier entirely.
"Of course we'd have to make sure whoever we choose can work as part of our team... but you have such good judgement Xavier. Ah trust you."
She added with a small smile. She always liked it when someone sought out her opinion. It made her feel a lot more human, and a lot less like a freak. Xavier always did make her feel normal. A lot like Logan did.
"Ah'd love a drink, thankyou. Water would be nice."
Rogue responded, taking the glass when it was offered to her.

"Yes but i am not going to be around forever so i want you all to be able to make the choices. There is a few people i could name some of them are new and others are no were near ready. After i trust you as well." he smiled and took a drink. "there is some of them you may relate with. There was one thing i was going to ask you and you may say no if you wish, I want you to be in-charge of the students. I need some one with your hart looking after them."

"True... but ah like to think that you'll live forever in all the people you know and teach, if not as yourself. Ahm sure though when the time comes for us as a team to make a decision without you, we'll do fine."
Rogue responded, the corners of her lips in a soft smile as she looked at her mentor. Whilst Logan was her father figure, Xavier was definately her mentor. Someday she did indeed hope she could help others as Xavier did. Xavier made such a big difference in the world. It was so inspirational. She couldn't help but feel her heart swell as Xavier mentioned he trusted her and then asked her to be in charge of the students. Rogue didn't even have to think about her answer.
"Of course professor! Ah'd be honoured."
She was intrigued by the mention that she may be able to relate to some of the people he was thinking of to join the team.

"Good, so its settled then you will be in charge of all the students. You will have to arrange rooms and all that stuff. Yes i don't think i will die any time soon but i do have to be ready for the worse. So tell me how are things with you and bobby getting on?" He had to face it with all that had been going on he needed to be ready for the worst case just encase he did die or worse.
He was thinking of asking bobby to run the team while Scott was away. It would be time for the younger one to take over soon enough. He just hoped that he could hand down enough information as possible before it was time for him to steap down and he would always be here to help them.

"Of course. Ah will attend to the students' every need."
Rogue answered. She would look after the students well. A part of her was actually excited about new students coming in so she could welcome them in. She would have to tours for them, arrange rooms, and of course make sure they see Xavier for class schedules. She really felt honoured Xavier had given her such responsibility. It definately made her feel useful and actually worth something. She had never felt so human before. She almost felt like she had no troubles any more, and all because she actually had a purpose. She had a purpose. She couldn't help but smile at that thought.
"Ah thought we'd be better as friends. He's really nice but... Ah just couldn't keep him tied down when he could have more with anyone else."
Rogue confessed.

"That is very noble of you. Surely it was his choice if he wanted to be with you? but that is some thing i will not get involved in is affairs of the hart. I would like you to get to know some of your charges." i thought came in to his mind. "i have just had an idea about your powers may be it's not as complex as we have been thinking. Threw touch you drain some of the person life energy and take some of there thoughts as well. So i am wondering if your powers can be regulated like any other energy based power.
if we can work out how you absorb the powers we could create some thing to regulate them until we can find out a way for you to swich off and on your powers your self. I do believe that is possible."

"Of course. Is there anyone inparticular you were thinking of that I should get to know?"
Rogue asked, just to make sure that she had all the information she required. She would probably have to go around all the students' rooms and let them know of her new position. Yes, she would have to do that. Then they would know to come to her now, and not Xavier, when it came to their needs. She did briefly wonder what Bobby and Kitty would think, but put that to the back of her mind. She really was very happy about getting this job, and she was determined to do her best. She just hoped that the students wouldn't make her job hard for her on purpose. She doubted anyone was mean like that though. This was after all the home of the Xmen, and the Xavier institute. They were all good people here.
"Ya really think so? That would make a whole lot of sense. Ah do drain peoples energy... Ah guess we won't know though until someone offers to let me touch them... Then ah could try and feel how it works or something..."
