No One's Pov.

In Mississippi there was a school party going on and everyone was having a good time. all but one girl who was watching the party saw everyone being happy. She sighed and turned around. This girl's name was Rogue.

Then two football players step outside

"Body snatchers. That's the only explanation, man." A football player named Ty said.

But his friend Cody stopped and sulked at the girl.

"My good buddy, Cody, is now a pod person. Gone in an evening from bad to sad, flame to lame. Nurse, he's coded! Personality paddles, stat!" Ty remarked

"Oh, come on. Ah'm just, you know, picking my moment, taking it slow." Cody explained.

"Cody, Ah've seen glaciers move faster. There she is, the girl you've been staring at all week. Please tell me you at least know her name?" Ty asked.

Cody shrugs and smiles sheepishly.

"You lame-o! " Ty said as he slapped his forehead. "This ends now."

Ty then grabs Cody's arm and drags him towards the girl.

"Come on, Ty I-" Cody tried to say but Ty pushed him forward and the girl turned around.

"Huh? Can Ah help you?" Rogue asked.

"Uhh... Dance. I-I mean, would you like to? With me, that is. Together." Cody replied nervously.

"Ah'm really just hanging out here and..." Rogue started to say but she saw the hurt puppy dog look on his face "Aw, hey, why not? After all, where's the harm in one dance?"

Rogue heads inside while Cody and Ty high five each other then go inside as well.

In a house not too far away a woman was sitting on her chair but then suddenly got a vision.

"No! Don't touch him!" She yelled then she saw Cody touching Rogue skin to skin contact. "Oh, my dear child!"

Back at the dance everyone was having a good time Cody and the girl were dancing but she is still distant.

"Get closer. Make your move." Ty said then he shoves Cody who falls and knocks down Rouge in the process.

"Hey, I'm sorry." Cody then grabs her wrist to help her up just like in the woman's vision.

He touched her bare skin a little and the two shook and screamed. Cody let go and now everyone was now watching as Cody stood there for a second before falling over in a dead faint.

Rogue watched in horror and now she has his memories. She saw Cody as a child climbing a tree, him at the school watching her at lunch and finally him at the football game.

"Aaah! My-mah head. All these images. What's happening to me? What am Ah? Who am Ah?" Rogue asks in fear.

Everyone was now in a circle around Cody. Ty was on his knees to see if his friend was OK as Rogue was backing away in fear.

"Cody? Cody, what's wrong? What did you do to him?" Ty asked her.

Rogue was crying hysterically and she started to run away to the door but Ty was faster and blocked the door but she remembered Cody pushing a person down from the other team in a football game as she then rams into Ty just she remembered it making him fall to the ground.

"Woah. I thought only Cody had moves like that."

At the woman's house she was on the phone talking to someone.

"That's not what I said. I see pathways... probabilities. I predicted what form her mutant powers would take, not when they would manifest." The woman said.
