Taken aback slightly by Lily's non-chalant attitude, Rogue pauses before continuing. "Well, I have deadly skin. I ... absorb people through it: their memories, traits, habits, and mutant abilities. The longer the contact, the more I absorb. If they or I hold on long enough, I'll absorb them permanently, and they'll die. Apparently there's only so much ... person in each person.

"I don't know if I absorb other people's special abilities, since I've not touched anyone other than regular humans and mutants. But, well, if I'm ever passed out or something, just don't touch me." She takes a breath. "It's not something I really try to advertise, you know, and I do take precautions," she holds up her gloved hands. "I just didn't know if the Professor at my old school sent down my paperwork, and it's something y'all should probably know."
