"Nice." Anna said as she walked into what for be home. Throwing her book bag onto the bed.
"His forward nature got me into this place," she replied as she looked around the room. "Seems to think I can use other peoples mutant powers. I think he's nuts. I tried it. Didn't work."
Sitting on the bed she remembered why she stormed off in the first place.

"Aw now it can't be dat bad." Gambit said smiling. "Listen, we got to work to learn to control our powers if we gonna be betta X-men. Besides, when you figure out what you can do I believe you gonna be on tough cookie."
"I'm gonna go and let you get settled." He said "But maybe later we can talk if ya wanna. Until then." Gambit turned to go.

"I'd like that." She said as he went to leave. "You're the only one hear I've been able to talk to."
Closing the door behind him, she felt a since of of relief to be alone. However she didn't mind Gambit's company.
Staying in her room the rest of the afternoon, gave he a chance to claim down. It was getting close to dinner time. She could already smell something good coming from somewhere.

It would surprise many to learn that the cook at the Institue was not a mutant, especially after pretaking in one of her fabulous homecooked meals. She was a lkindly little old woman that made sure each and every person in the place ate and ate well. Not one person ever went less then two heaping helpings of Mama's food.
After the evening meal Cerebro knocked on Rogue's door, "May I have a minute, Anna?" he asked the closed door.

"It's your place," Anna replied. She was hungry her and was in no mood for another failure from herself.
Sitting at a small chair in the corner Anna tried her best fake smile.

Cerebro stepped him and sat at the work desk in the other corner of the room. He paused there for a momen collecting his thoughts and trying to decide how best to proceed. "You believe you did not do well out there in the yard this afternoon?" he finally asked, "In truth you did better then some of the staff thought you would. I know it seems like I am asking a lot from you but it's only because it is my belief that you have blocked yourself from using your mutant gift to it's fullest capacity. That is one of the reasons that I asked you to come here. But not as a regular student. I have others that recruit for that."
He shook his head gently, "No. When I bring someone here it is because they are going to join the X-Men field teams at there highest levels. Those mutants you faced were reservests for my senior teams." He paused for a moment then broached the less savory part of why he was telling her all this. "I also brought you here because I believe someone is hunting and abducting powerful mutants for some not so good purpose. You're name was on a list of mutants that we intercepted, unfortunately you were the only mutant that we were able to locate and protect. The others have gone missing."

Gambit sat in mess hall eating his second protion of gumbo."MMMM just mamma never made." He said as he swallowed down a piece of shrimp. He looked toward the door and was hoping Anna would come in.
He got up walked in to the kitchen to where mama was standing over a pot strring more of her scrumptious food. "Hello mon Cher--"
He was cut off by the older woman, "Look Frenchy, I told you no cajuns in the kitchen!" She chased him out with a wooden spoon.

For the first time she drooped the act. The news that someone or thing might take her. Was too much. Standing in front of her window she remained silent. For the first time in her life she truly felt helpless.
"I've blocked it for so long," She whispered. "How? How can I just let it go. I spent my life fighting to gain control. I can touch someone and they'd never know. How, you seen me out there. I could tell you their names, what they did this morning, even what they had for breakfast. But to use their powers? I don't know."

"It won't be easy," replied Cerebro, "You're used to suppressing your powers. But we will be here everystep of the way to help you. And imagine what you could have done with Avalanche's or Stature's abilities instead of just their memories."

Closing her eye she took a deep breath. It would be the start of a whole new life. One she wasn't too sure she would be ready fore. "Aim ready. But first am hungry." She said with a smile. "What smells so good.
After getting lost twice, Anna finally found herself sitting in a small dinning room. She took one of the back tables and sat down to eat. Thinking of the promise she had made to the professor, to meet him back in the courtyard after her meal. She wondered how much power she had in her touch.
The food was so good that she tuned out everything but eating.

After being chased out of the kitchen by the mad chef, Gambit saw Anna eating all alone. Grabbing a glass of iced tea, he walked over to her.
"Naw where I come from it ain't polite to let ladies dine alone." He said pulling out a chair. "Is this seat taken cher?"

She about dropped her fork when she heard his voice. She was already learning at this school. Lesson one that voice was her only weakness. The person that went with it was another story.
Nodding toward the empty chair she smiled. "Do you always pour on this much charm with all the women here?"

"Only the ones that are truly special." He said. Sipping his tea he made a sour face."Ugh, dis needs some more sugar! Put your finger in her and sweetin' it up for me?"
He smiled at her and winked as he looked into her eyes. "So, what kind of name are you gonna choose?" He asked.

"I have a name." She replied then remembered what she saw holding his hand. "You mean code names. Don't have one yet and don't want one. What kind of name is Gambit? I like your real name better."

"Well, if ya don't like code names, you can call me Remey."He responded. "I have benn called Gambit since before I can remember, the name just always stuck. I tell ya a funny name, Wolverine, I mean wolverines are small cute and cuddly, There ain't nothing cute and cuddly about him at all."
Gambit looked over and saw Logan eating and staring a hole in him. "Maybe we sould finish our drinks elsewhere before there is awhole heap of trouble." He stood up and offered to take her hand to guide her out of the lunchroom.
