[Rogue's very relieved that he doesn't flinch away from her touch, that the sharp rejection she expects never actually happens. Nothing really excuses her to carefully dig into his memories without consent, but she needs to know if she's lost her mutation or she's somehow gained control over it without her knowing. She'd been avoiding skin on skin contact since the kidnappings, so something could have definitely happened since then. She just... Doesn't know what exactly.

Tears well in her eyes when she feels that familiar pull of her power, smile curling onto her features even before she loses herself in his memory, in her power functioning as she wills it rather than with the force of an untamed disaster. Seeing Owen with his pack as children moves her further, the tears she's been holding back falling hot down her cheek as her smile grows.

His hand on her wrist breaks the spell, and it takes her a few moments to return back to present.]

It's mah power, ah haven't had control of it since...

[Since she absorbed everyone superhero on Earth's powers to save Earth. Since Wanda couldn't remove Simon from her head. Too long is the answer. Too much of her life has been spent without control of her own mutation. She glances down to stare at the hand he's captured.]

Most of mah life since ah was a teenager. [She pauses, still a bit overwhelmed. This explanation is mostly autopilot at this point.] Ah absorb life energy an' without control it just happens on contact. Ah get everythin'. Powers, skills, memories, an' physical traits sometimes. Usually in a rush, an' ah can take too much.

[She can take it all. Her eyes lift to his, deeply apologetic.]

Ah'm sorry ah didn't ask before ah took. Ah- Ah had to make sure ah hadn't lost me.
