[Rogue is at the Battle Dome, running a sim against the Third Party. It's not going well, since all she has are the weapons she picked up in the smithy, all those months ago.
It's not the first time she's run this sim. And she's gotten better. But it's clearly just a decently trained, average girl with two very hard sticks going up against big flying people with superpowers.]

It ain't like it's something people are linin' up for me to measure.
[Sigh. But the fact that she did sort of - drop on his lap - means that she does owe him some sort of answer to his questions.] It has ta do with how long I touch someone. The memories I see, I remember. The rest get locked up. [If you don't count the dreams. And if she doesn't go digging. Which she doesn't.] The longer I touch someone, the more I see.
It's the same thing with the powers, mostly. [Unless you count that one time she went out of control and... no one was able to explain to her how she was able to access powers which had faded completely. Sabertooth? Honestly?] But it ain't like I can pull them out whenever I want.

[Vash is getting the hint that this isn't exactly something you like discussing, but seeing as you didn't really give him any sort of time frame, he just pushes ahead. Only one way to find out really.]

Yeah, that's what I meant. [He's sorry, but for a weapon that can destroy an entire city of millions? He has to be sure on this. Even if he wasn't sure if you could activate it without the gun, but in a strange body, who knows what his power could do.] That's what I was wondering. [He's glad that's one less thing to think of, but he's sad that he apparently upset you with his questions.]

My power, what I can do. It's devastating. The damage it can do to everything around me... [He trails off. Memories of July flashing through his mind, he doesn't wish to finish that thought.]
To be honest, I wasn't even sure if you could activate my powers, even if you did still have them, but I had to be sure. If anything should something happen out there and you get cornered, I couldn't blame you for using anything you had to get out alive.

[She crosses her arms and looks down for a moment.] I know ya know what it's like to have powers that are bigger than you are, that you can't control.
[And then she looks up.] But do ya know what it's like ta cover yourself up every day just in case? Not to touch anyone, for years, not unless it's ta hurt them? If ya think I value my life more than anyone else's, you're out of your mind.

[Rogue just frowns and shakes her head.] Whatever.
[She doesn't even know what he's apologizing for. She can't blame him if he thinks her a monster - she is one. And she won't take sympathy for her powers. So she just look away, waits for him to leave.]

What about my powers? Do you still have them?

Ya mean, can I still use them? No.

Ya thought I'd set it off. Kill allies and enemies alike.

Be safe out there, alright?

She wants to point out all the things wrong with this - I didn't mean to upset you - ha.
She doesn't want to talk about it. She doesn't want to think about it.
So she just turns back around, towards the Dome.]
You too.
