Chapter 2:

 

Rogue made it to the Professor's office within a couple of minutes of his call.

When she got there she hesitantly knocked on the door.

 

“Come in Rogue,” she heard and she tentatively stepped inside.

 

“Hi Professor,” she greeted, nervously.

 

“Hello Rogue. A pressing matter has come to my attention. It seems that I may have located the whereabouts of my son,” Professor X told her.

 

“That's great,” Rogue exclaimed, forgetting her own depression for the moment. She knew how much the Professor had regretted the day he had lost his son.

 

“Yes, well I hope it will be,” he told her, trying to contain his hope, “Hank, Logan and I are going to confront him.”

 

“Did ya want Scott and ah ta come along?” she asked eagerly.

 

“No, thank you. That won't be necessary,” he said, kindly, “I only called you in here to give you your Christmas present.”

 

“Ah can wait until ya come back,” Rogue said graciously.

 

“I know, but I really wanted you to have this as soon as possible,” he said to her, making her curious as to what the present was.

 

He opened his desk drawer and pulled out a festive looking box, wrapped in green paper with sparkly reindeer on it.

 

He held it out to Rogue and waited for her to take it. When she did, she said, “Ya really shouldn't have.”

 

“Nonsense,” he replied warmly, giving her an encouraging smile, “Open it.”

 

She smiled a rare smile and unwrapped the paper quickly. When she opened the box she found a small glass bottle filled with blue liquid.

 

“Perfume?” she asked, confused.

 

“No, no. Something, I think, that is much better,” The Professor said excitedly, “This liquid, for a short time, will allow you to touch.”

 

“Wha- huh? Ah,” Rogue started many sentences, but couldn't finish a single one.

 

“For a total of 24 hours after you drink this, you will be able to touch without absorbing anyone,” he explained.

 

“But how?” Rogue managed to croak out.

 

“The liquid, which we haven't named yet, seems to suppress the phenotype of your mutant genotype,” he explained, “Basically it makes you human for the day.”

 

“Just a day?” Rogue asked.

 

“Yes. Hank and I have been experimenting and we've found that it only works for 24 hours, but it works well. But, if we administered it a second time it did not work. Right now it's only a one-time thing. But we're still trying to figure something out that will help you control your powers. Yours and Scott's,” he told her.

 

“So do you have some for him too?” she asked.

 

“Yes we do,” he replied, “In fact, I was going to give it to him after he came back from his vacation. But I think I'll give it to him before we leave.”

 

“Oh,” she replied, falling silent.

 

“I hope I didn't offend you by giving you this,” the Professor said unsurely.

 

“Oh no, Professor. Ah love it. It's what ah've been wanting, for forever. Ah day is better than nothing at all. Thank ya so much. Ah was just lost in thought,” she said quickly, so as to leave no doubt that she was grateful. She didn't bother to tell him that she was busy thinking about what color Scott eyes were.

 

“Blue, definitely, blue,' she thought, losing focus of what was going on at the moment.

 

“Rogue?” Professor X asked looking at her curiously.

 

“Oh sorry,” she replied, blushing.

 

“Well you're welcome to use it whenever you like. I'm very glad you like it,” he said smiling at her warmly.

 

“Thanks again,” she said, and hesitated for a minute before hugging him.

 

“You're welcome Rogue. I only wish I could do more,” he said sighing.

 

“Ya've done plenty,” she replied before leaving the room, “Merry Christmas.”
