Y/N sits on his bed while holding his wrist. He takes a deep breath and slowly exhales.

Y/N: Okay. You've done this a million times. It's no biggie.

He concentrates and he hisses a bit as he feels three claws move up his forearm. He continues to groan and the claws finally cut through his skin and blood drips a bit.

Y/N: Holy shit!

He drags a finger along the claw and he smiles as he stands up.

He slashes the air and thrust his fist forward, which the claws stab his wall. He struggles a bit to get the claws out and someone knocks on his door.

Y/N: Hold on. Give me a moment.

Rogue: Okay.

She is on the other side of the door and hears Y/N struggling, then she hears him fall.

Rogue: You okay?

Y/N: Yeah. Just peachy.

He dust himself off and wipe his knuckles clean with a disinfectant wipe before drying it. He opens the door and sees Rogue.

Y/N: Hi.

Rogue: Hi.

She smiles at him.

Y/N: Wanna come in?

She nods and he moves out of the way to let her in. He closes the door and Rogue looks at the three clawed shaped holes in the wall.

Rogue: What did you do?

Y/N looks at her bashfully and rubs his neck.

Y/N: Uh, I was testing out something.

Rogue: Which is?

Y/N shows her and the claws pop out.

Y/N: This. My "gift" is to mimic other mutant powers. Of course this has limits. But the Professor says I haven't unlocked my true potential yet.

The claws retract into his arm and walk over to the damaged wall.

Y/N: Scott is going to chew me out for this.

Rogue giggles a bit and Y/N turns to her.

Y/N: This is funny to you? Is me suffering, funny?

Rogue shakes her head and Y/N chuckles a bit.

Y/N: Bobby and John thinks so. I swear those two will be the death of me.

Rogue: You guys seem close.

Y/N: Oh yeah. We're practically brothers, alright. Both of them were the first students to greet me.

He sees her book bag.

Y/N: Enough about me. Ready to study?

Rogue nods and they sit on his bed. She pulls out her textbook and Y/N does the same. Clare de Lune plays softly on Y/N's radio and Rogue feels a calm sensation wash over her.

Rogue: You got that wrong.

Y/N: Did I? Well, I'll be damned.

He mimics a Southern accent which makes her giggle. He quickly corrects his mistakes and they continue to study. After a while they have a light conversation, mainly about Y/N's powers.

Rogue: How does it work?

Y/N: Hmm?

Rogue: Your powers. How does it work?

Y/N: Well, I just watch the person use their powers... And I sorta "analyze" it. Let's take Bobby for example.

He rolls up his sleeve.
