The night was cold and then lake was filled with noise while the barrier blocked the scream rogue let out.

"Relax, I won't harm you." Naruto said as he made sure she didn't fall and floated into a standing position safely

Rogue felt embarrassed at the fact she acted like a damn child and decided to ignore that small episode.

'Someone like me or is he an alien?'

"Unfortunately, I am an alien but it doesn't mean that I don't understand your pain."

"Are you reading my mind? And what do you know about my pain?" Rogue was not someone that backed down even against invincible odds so she acted like it was a normal thing. She felt annoyed as she heard the same words along with the fact the man was violating her privacy

"Let's sit down and talk, it will be much better for you. Talking is a good way for lowering stress and all the negative mojo." Naruto replied in a gentle tone and with a thought the wood extended from the peer and two chairs were made along with a table in between

"I have a bad habit of reading people's mind as you should understand people are hardly trust worthy and some don't know how to articulate their ideas well so I have to use this ability to avoid any problems.

We can argue about this later but first let's tackle your problem." Naruto put his elbows on the table and looked at her, waiting for her to sit.

Rogue didn't know what to feel about this unusual event but she felt it was much better than standing alone or being with those people. It was scary but she knew resistance was futile unless someone came and saved her.

'Maybe I can, no. No!' Rogue was about to devise a plan to absorb Naruto's power but she felt the thought process was repulsive and shuddered.

"Those are your powers so don't fear it and learn to control it. I understand your position. I really do as there was once a time where if I went into a hissy fit, the world would be in danger. See now your problems don't look so big in comparison." Naruto said in a calm tone and chuckled as he tried to act like his old self

"I don't think that was funny. Please tell me, you don't have that problem." Rogue sat down and asked in a worried tone. She ignored people and was annoyed at them but that didn't mean she d.e.s.i.r.ed destruction.

"Of course not, it is an old problem which is why I am telling you about it. So you think it would make sense if I said I couldn't control my power after training but you should still try to use it."

Rogue nodded and sighed in relief, she was starting to feel some life in her mind from this exchange as most people didn't treat her well and she felt uncomfortable in their presence. Rogue wasn't stupid so she could tell; some of it was just in her head.

"You were going to talk about understanding pain?"

"Ah, yes. Let us get back on track and let me start.

I do understand your pain as I can literally feel it, if I wanted. I have an experience of being shunned much worse than yours and have experienced more pain than you can imagine but even I can understand there are people much worse so I live on as it would make me a coward and a disappointment, if a fell from such things.

Words are hard to trust, especially from strangers so let me show you proof." Naruto talked in a slow and active manner, not realizing that he had been using chakra with his voice. His voice mesmerized Rogue along with the powerful but gentle Aura she felt as he talked to her.

Rogue wasn't used to superpowers yet and nor did she know how to fight against these affects. She was lucky Naruto was a nice person and wasn't interested in taking advantage of her.

Even though she was in a daze, Rogue reacted once Naruto tried to hold her hand. She had deep trauma about this subject, which caused the weak affect to disappear.

Rogue quickly took distance and stared at him warily, "Don't touch me."

"Sorry for doing that, I underestimated the shadows of the mind. But relax; you cannot affect me with your power. I can block it." Naruto muttered in a soothing tone as he did feel it was rude of him to ignore such a thing. He had gotten used to people following all his commands.

It was a new experience going back down from the throne and being a normal person.

Rogue looked at his extended hand and down to her own covered hand; she was hesitating since she was afraid to lose herself as her powers allowed the absorption of memories and physical capabilities along with skills.

The last time it happened, she was acting like her crush without even realizing and it made her afraid of being taken over along with the fact that her powers hurt anyone she touched.

'Should I do it? He doesn't seem bad, maybe it is the truth. Maybe he can help me.' Rogue thought and her mind was moving the positive side even though she was a pessimistic person

Naruto only smiled as he waited for her hand, he knew she couldn't resist as he made sure of it. Naruto didn't mind if she felt anything negative for him, if she was cured of her problems.

Rogue took of her glove slowly and moved closer hesitantly, and Naruto decided to take her hand before she could get to him.

She had closed her eyes, like it would make anything bad invalid.

This brought a smile to his face as he saw her as a cute little child.

"You can open your eyes now, the world is still running and I am still standing perfectly fine." Naruto muttered with a smile as he held her hand tightly

Rogue opened her eyes and saw that he was fine, she felt the warmth from his hand and felt that she had missed contact for so long as she couldn't remember how it felt. It brought a smile to her face but also brought the question.

'How many abilities does he have? Is he going to be danger? Why is he helping me? Oh shit!' Rogue mused and realized she was sitting across a mind reader, and looked at him with an awkward smile.

"Haha, you are really adorable, aren't you." Naruto couldn't help but laugh, he felt a bit more relaxed now. He felt happy helping the girl and it was a nice experience but he preferred talking with people of age as they had experience in many things while children were still too emotional. He knew that was a jab at his past tendencies so he pretty much dismissed people that were like him on instinct.

A weakness and a sign that he never overcame his regrets.

"Don't treat me like a child, I am an a.d.u.l.t." Rogue complained as she felt that he was looking down on her from his mannerism

"Sorry, sorry, a force of habit. But do you feel better now?" Naruto replied as he let go of her hand. He had already analyzed her genetic makeup and soul to see if he can find people like her easily since he can't tell if they were like Peter or not.

Rogue looked down at her n.a.k.e.d hand in a daze; she could tell that something was weird about her thought process. He must have pushed her into it but she wasn't feeling much dislike for him except some annoyance as he was overstepping his bounds but it was for the good so she didn't know what to feel.

She felt happy but then realized that she was still stuck with this problem and could only touch this guy, and rogue didn't think it would be a good idea to stick with him all the time.

"Thanks for helping me but can you help me beyond this." Rogue stood and looked at him, hoping for a miracle as this was her only clue

"What kind of help do you need? Do you want to train your powers and be someone special or lose them and become mediocre?" Naruto asked in a calm tone, he wanted her to voice her opinion

Rogue stared blankly for a minute as she thought through this dilemma but finally decided on keeping them as she knew becoming normal meant hardly any choice when in danger.

"I want to know how to use my power without losing control."

"Excellent, I am happy with your choice. But even though I accept your request, I am not really knowledgeable on your power so we will have to experiment. Absorb from me." Naruto replied with a jovial tone as he caught her hand and looked at her eyes

The atmosphere had lost its gloomy touch since Naruto appeared with his bright aura. It had started affecting Rogue and she was swept with the flow as the aura healed the pain in her soul, and brought some closure as she felt that he understood.

She nodded to his words and Naruto stopped blocking. It was careless action and Naruto quickly stopped it.

Rogue was overwhelmed by the energy she absorbed and the link that formed between her and Naruto. She could feel the pain that he held behind bars, the madness that was lurking deep within and it was affecting her mindset as she saw his memories.

'It hurts, it hurts so much.' Rogue felt her heart tighten as she felt Naruto's pain that he hadn't overcome that her power was going haywire. The chakra she absorbed would have destroyed the peer, if not for Naruto's intervention.

Naruto quickly caught her and erased the memories that were his along with the emotions that didn't belong to Rogue. He understood a bit more about her power and could tell it would be too dangerous if she absorbed someone with very strong emotions or will at this stage of her power.

"Are you okay now?" Naruto asked in a gentle tone, he was worried he might have hurt her too much.

"Huff, huff" Rogue breathe heavily as she felt her mind and heart calm down. Now that the problem was taken care of, she could feel the enormous power in her body. She felt invincible and capable of jumping into space.

"I am fine" Rogue muttered as she avoided talking about what she had just felt from those memories. It was bad, really bad and it felt like the person in front was not real but a façade.

"I am glad and next time we won't have this problem so don't worry. But for now, how does it feel?" Naruto helped her up and could sense she had absorbed enough chakra to be a chunin within a second because his reserves enormous. At the moment it would have been disastrous for Rogue if she had absorbed half his power as she might have lost herself and become a clone of Naruto

"I feel powerful, like I could fly and do anything I want." Rogue replied in a child like tone as she was mesmerized by the power

"That's good and I am happy that you are feeling happy but don't let it cloud you and always analyze where you stand factually not depending on feelings as it will lead to mistakes." Naruto warned as understood the feeling. He had felt invincible when he had combined with Kurama but then was trashed by Obito

Naruto's words pushed her out of the daze and she nodded, "I understand."

"Good girl lets relax now and eat something. We will continue later." Naruto said as he held her hand and flew along with her towards the city

-------------------------

The incident hadn't gone unnoticed as one bald man with a machine had caught onto Rogue's signal. Charles Xavier, a mutant that wants to help the poor children and give them place in this society.

Charles is a very strong mutant with telepathic power but unfortunate as he was unable to walk without assistance. Even then he never stopped and has made sure to work towards his goal tirelessly.

Charles felt the strong signal and could feel that the target was danger to others and herself. He took of the helmet and turned to Jean Grey, his assistant and a powerful mutant.

"Professor, what did you find?" Jean asked in a wary tone as she felt that Charles was sweating a bit here more than usual

"A mutant with a powerful ability but no control. Jean, I need you to go with Kitty and Curt." Charles said as he turned to Jean and stared leaving the room

"Anything, I should be careful off."

"Don't let her touch you." Charles warned as that was the memory that stood out sharply to him

"I will be careful." Jean replied calmly while hoping that it will be a nice person as most mutants that she encountered had been hardened by the lives they lived

----------------

But the Xmen weren't the only ones interested as the servants of Magneto were on the move. Rogue's foster mother, Irene Adler had just contacted Mystique.

Irene was confused as she had been unable to see this phenomenon clearly, she couldn't' tell what actually happened but knew that Rogue had absorbed a lot of power and it was time for Rogue to join her path as she was old enough/.

"Raven be careful, there is something strong on the loose."

"What is it?"

"I can't see it so be careful and don't be hasty." Irene warned as she was worried for her partner

"I am always cautious and did you see my death or something."

"No but I am not sure since this force is affecting my ability."

"Okay, just relax and wait for good news." Raven replied and hung up, leaving Irene to put down the phone and walk to her seat
