1K comments, first impressions/relationship meme, where the hell did all of those comments come from so quickly, etc.. Be warned that I will be asking for reverses. Also, that this might take me a while, since yesterday's internet blackout left me quite behind.

Erik, you don't count, you're getting your own essay or something.

In addition to the obvious mutant interest, Charles is struck by Rogue's sense of insecurity. Even though the future clearly isn't all peachy, she does have the school and the knowledge that she's not alone in what she's going through -- there's obviously other factors at work here. And Charles is curious to know what they are! He wants to help! And he is very clearly not put off by grumpiness or guardedness at all.

And those Professor-ly feelings are only increased by the way that Rogue sees him. Charles's sense of responsibility is only increased by all of this -- it's like he's taking care of the future here a lot more literally than one usually expects it to be. While he realizes that he is his own person and not necessarily what Rogue sees him to be, he nevertheless feels a duty to not disappoint. It's both encouraging and intimidating for him to find so many people with so much faith in him. Mainly, it just inspires him even more strongly to be there for her (and the others) in the way that they need him to be.

and feed them on your dreams/ the one they picked, the one you'll know by/don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry/ so just look at them and sigh and know they love you

Reverse, please!

Professor!

Rogue is very aware of the fact that while you are a Professor X, you are not exactly her Professor. So, because you're the Professor, she kind of automatically trusts you, she's just not sure...exactly how much trust to give you because she's not sure how similar you are to the Professor she knows. Like, she really wants to ask you to help with her powers (which you may or may not see in the back of her head???) because her Professor is the one who was helping her with them, but she's not sure if there is anything you could help her with because not even older you could do much and you are still unfamiliar and stranger-ish and she does not want to ask for help. But she is very glad there is at least some sort of Professor in case she loses control again and the psyches go crazy. Basically she wants to see what you can do and see if you are helping other people and eventually Rogue might bring it up. Eventually being way off into the future. Possibly after she's absorbed a few too many people.
