Parties were so not her thing, especially not after her abilities had manifested. She couldn’t believe Kitty had dragged her along to this, thinking that her participating in parties was actually a good idea. As Rogue was trying to pass the crowd, watching the ponytail of her friend dissipate, Rogue could feel the rough hand of a frat boy grabbing hold of her arm, the contact alerting her body instantly. 

“Ugh, get off me!” she exclaimed, pushing him off her and into somebody else. Suddenly feeling a sense of claustrophobia as she noted just how tight the crowd of people seemed, causing her to flee the scene and step outside for some fresh air, trying to clear her head and navigate whether she had accidentally touched him, whether his mind was rummaging in her head in the midst of the masses.

It was for her own good. As the girl had neared her, Rogue’s anxiety had spiked. Even if it hadn’t presented on her features, perhaps coming off as aggression rather than fear, she hadn’t meant to be harsh on her. Though, it was an instinctual reaction

“I just.. Ah don’t wanna hurt ya.” A southern twang slipped into her voice, one that was particularly prominent when she found herself under great stress. “Mah skin’s poisonous. Ya touch me, and I absorb everythin’ you are.” It wasn’t really something she had explored much with aliens, but she figured the result would be the same; all of Starfire’s powers and memories would be hers, another addition to the mass of people in her mind. “I try not to get too close to someone, unless Ah have to.”

Starfire didn't even really think about this much. It was like nature for her - when she met someone new that wasn't an enemy, especially if that someone was offering to help with the mission at hand, she was getting close to hug them soon. Except that this girl didn't want that, and Starfire stopped when she stepped back.

"I apologize." She wanted to respect other people's wishes for distance, really, it was just difficult to fight her instincts sometimes. "I did not mean to press any closeness onto you. I can assure you that I am resilient and able to withstand bad things that may happen," in case she meant it in a literal way and it wasn't just a statement of not wanting someone close, "but I will respect your wish for no physical closeness. I am still thankful that we are able to work together on solving this situation."

Xavier had allowed Rogue some time off from the institute. Always caught on the verge of learning to control her powers and not, she figured she needed some time to do some soul-searching. She always dreamt of visiting France, and it appeared that it was going to be her first stop on her journey.

Despite how good she was at finding her way in general, it didn’t seem to be the case when visiting another country. A gloved hand waved towards a young girl who seemed kind, and right now, she seemed like her best bet. “Uhm, hi. Sorry t’ interrupt. Ah just wanna know, do ya know where this street is? I’m lookin’ for my Airbnb, n’ I think I might be totally lost or somethin’ because it ain’t here.”

“Yeah, Shiori! Sing it!” Rogue giggled. So maybe they were having a little dance party in the kitchen. Sue her. It was a Saturday. They were allowed to have a little fun, even if they were just staying in.

     The first person that Rogue had met when she moved into the apartment complex had been Ella. Her neighbor had been forward and outgoing, instantly giving off a positive energy that soothed her, so she didn’t flinch when she found her wrapping her arms around her in a tight embrace. Returning the hug, there was a small grin as she noticed the pile of clothes. It was like her own, so there was no reason to judge.  ❛ Yeah, Ah think you know how it is. Work can really get to ya, huh? ❜  she joked lightly. It wouldn’t surprise her if Ella barely had time to do her chores, knowing that she worked odd hours. She dealt with the same thing.  ❛ How have you been? Tell me ‘bout your life, Ah bet it’s been more interestin’ than mine recently. ❜

The gloves were ethereal, almost mirroring the light the Majesdanian emitted, perhaps meant to replicate their appearance. As green eyes looked carefully at the gloves, they widened at the words the Goddess uttered, shocked by the information she was given.

“You had your daughter alter these.. for me??” It was hard to believe that someone would see through her; understand her pain, and try to aid in making her life easier. No, she had never received a gift like this, nor did Rogue believe she was worthy of such kindness from her. She was nothing special, just another mutant that struggled with her abilities. “I— thank you.. But this is too grand of a gesture. I can’t possibly accept these.”

Not without offering anything in return, at least.

Rogue ( @toxintouches​​ ) is deserving of more than just this:  ❝ that’s so sweet. you didn’t have to get me anything. ❞

    “Oh, my love. I’ve been told that my ‘love language’ is doing for others. Giving to them all that they can bear and more… fills my heart with absolute joy.”

  The Goddess had so much more to give to this young woman. Anything, and everything that her heart desired. It was only fair. As she expected the young mutant to join her, eventually, through the kindness of her heart, it seemed only right to reward her for her eventual service.

    “Majesdanian Tactile ‘Lux Shrouds’. Meant to allow a Majesdanian to burn at full luminosity, yet avoid truly burning those they make contact with. At my behest, I had my daughter alter the gloves for you. They should provide you complete tactile sensation, wherever you wear them, without truly ‘touching’ whatever you come in contact with.”

“Ya ever take a breather, Danvers?” she wondered aloud, her comment perhaps a little smug as she looked at the other. They didn’t. If someone would know, it was Rogue; her mind was linked to hers, and Rogue’s knowledge was vast about this specific person. It seemed like Captain Marvel carried the world on her shoulders, and the job of a hero never quit. “C’mon, grab a beer with me. Let's relax for a couple of minutes. It’ll be my treat.” It was the least she could do for her.

“S’just a scratch, honey. No need to coddle me.” Well, that was putting it mildly. She had taken a rather heavy blow, fallen from the sky like a comet that was threatening to descend on Earth. Although there was a potential risk of hurting himself, he had stood his ground; caught her before the southern belle could hit concrete. Though, it seemed like he was hesitating to put her down. “Remy, Ah’m practically a tank. Ain’t no darn reason to worry ‘bout lil’ ol’ me. You can put me down now.”

@aapothic sent: ❛ there’s something tragic about you.

That was an understatement. There was nothing particularly joyful about Rogue’s past. She had been let down, used for other people’s vile actions; eventually doubting who she was. “Trauma does that to you.”

It was okay, she was a child. It was only natural for Shiori to be curious. Rogue had quite a vast history with the X-Men. “For now, Ah’m just tryin’ t’make lemonade outta those lemons. Look at the bright side of things.” It was the only thing she could do to get by. To not allow herself to be consumed by everything she had experienced.

“ATTA GIRL.” Better safe than sorry. Grabbing a helmet of her own, Rogue put it on to protect her head. Despite being rather durable, it was better that she did. Seating herself behind Raven, gloved hands were wrapped around her stomach, checking around them once she could see the coast was clear. “Ready to ROLL?”

“DO I HAVE TO?” Raven already knew the answer to that. No, she didn’t, but it was for safety. And there was a difference between being rebellious and STUPID. Raven was far from the latter, so she groaned in annoyance but put the helmet on nevertheless. “Alright, LET’S DO THIS.” Her grin returned.

“Honey, can ya hear me?” Rogue uttered, a gloved hand waving in front of the person’s face as she crouched down before them. They had walked into her, which had probably caused them to have quite the tumble; given the enhancements of Captain Marvel’s abilities, Rogue was quite sturdy, even if she may not look like it; capable of even knocking down the strongest of men. “Y’okay? Do ya need a doctor or somethin’?” Hopefully, she hadn’t touched them.

“It’s the beginnin’ of a new year.” An for once, Rogue felt hopeful. There was something about New Year’s Eve, like a slate that was wiped clean and the potential for a new beginning. Rogue knew that it wasn’t the truth, but it didn’t minimize her hopefulness. “Got any New Year’s resolutions?” They never worked, but it was nice to dream that something could change; that a new chapter could finally start.

So she was having some trouble adjusting to her new whereabouts. Everyone was looking at her skeptically, and it was like they were waiting for her to make the wrong move.

“I just gotta get away for a lil’ bit.” As Lorna offered her phone, Rogue looked at it for a moment, realizing that there was no one she could contact. Not her parents. She had no friends. She had absolutely no one. Only the minds trapped in her head, making her forget who she at times actually was. “I don’t even know why Ah asked for a phone.. I know literally no one.”

But maybe the minds in her head did. Was she losing it?

🧤-- “I’ve got mah eyes on ya, Cajun. I’m tellin’ ya, Ah don’t trust ya.” The first dip in the pool was always the harshest; when warm skin met cold water. Furthermore, Remy had this devilish look on him as if he wanted to splash her or pull her under. You could never be too careful. “All righty, here we go,” she muttered before diving in. It was a little cold, but she was pleased with how fast her body adjusted to the temperature. Poking her head out of the water, the bouncy white and auburn curls were now flat, but there was a pleased smile on her face, feeling refreshed from the cool water. “Well, ain’t this nice?”

They didn’t know when nor how, but Rogue had a bad feeling about this. It wasn’t the first time a young Jean Grey had gone missing. Last time, the X-Men had to go with Peter Quill to outer space to find her, and the Sh’iar had wanted young Jean to go to trial for the Phoenix��� actions. Considering how recent that was, Rogue couldn’t help worrying about the young redhead’s whereabouts.

One gloved hand was resting on Kitty’s back, whilst the other was held out to assist her on her descend from the tree. Hoping it would gather some perspective of whether she was in the nearby area. “Saw anythin’ interestin’?” Probably not, because maybe checking their surroundings wasn’t the ideal thing; but they had to do it first. It was in the protocol.

“You don’t think this a repetition of what happened last time, right?” If it was, there was probably a reason why Kitty was trying to avoid anything that had something to do with space. Rogue had heard plenty of times how much she hated it anyways. “Ah can hit up Danvers, if ya don’t wanna get in touch with your ex-fiancée. Ask what’s goin’ on.” Not that she was that fond of the idea either, but they were on somewhat decent terms now.

“Ain’t no fairytale what Ah see from your eyes.” From the expression that Carol had in her eyes, what she was about to ask of her was serious business. These days, Rogue had been trying to take a few days off, try to kick back, and get herself involved in fewer things.

But this was Carol. Rogue didn’t trust herself once she heard her call, knowing that she would go above and beyond to aid her whenever she needed it, wherever she needed it. Pursing her lips for a moment, there was a relenting sigh as gloved fingers tapped on the table, curious about what she had in store for her. “All right, what’s goin’ on, Danvers? What’cha need?”
