Spidergwen: I have a system?!

Chapter 141: Breakfast

[3rd POV]

Sitting at a table for breakfast, Gwen watched as Rogue and Jean sat across from her, sitting a bit away from one another, mostly for safety reasons due to Rogue's power. The girls sat around her, already munching on their breakfast. Said breakfast was okay to their standards, but nothing in comparison to what Gwen could make.

"So Gwen, when did you gain those powers of yours?" Jean asked, sitting across from Gwen as she took a bite of her breakfast, which was a Waffle with bacon and some fresh fruit. 

"Around a year ago or so" Gwen replied, biting into a piece of bacon with a hum.

"Really? You got them only a year ago and you've already learned so much? That's incredible!" Jean replied with wide eyes. Usually it took years upon years of practice to get to where Gwen was at this point, learning and training for years just to have a small chance of proper and absolute control, that Gwen seemed to have.

"Yeah well, my powers aren't too hard to control in comparison to yours or Rogue's" Gwen replied with a shrug, as it was technically true. Most of her powers were easily masterable thanks to her knowledge and intellect, whereas theirs were really complex thanks to their lack of experience and knowledge.

"M-My power isn't controllable" Rogue cut in, shaking her head at the thought. She had tried for a long time to learn her own power and control it, but she had yet to find a way to do so, giving up on the possibility. Rogue knew that Gwen had some sort of power that let her know things about people, as how else would she seemingly know so much about her powers. But she understood that Gwen didn't say anything when they first met the day before, probably because it would have been kinda creepy if she did, so she didn't mind much.

"Rogue, all powers are controllable, it's just how you go about it that decides whether or not you can actually control it" Gwen replied, knowing that Rogue could control her power, she did in the comics, but only after extensive training, and help from Xavier.

The entirety of her lack of "Control" and the absorption of other peoples powers, memories, and more, was psychological in nature. Once that "Block" of sorts was eliminated, she would have control over her power. BUT, that was something that couldn't be forced, and Rogue herself would need to work through with the help of someone else, Gwen in this case.

"But mine aren't, I've tried everything to control it, and I can't, no matter how hard I try" Rogue replied, growing frustrated with herself. At the fact that no matter what she tries, she won't be able to control it. But the fact that she now had someone she could touch, was enough in her mind. She would just need to make sure not to scare Gwen away. 

"Trust me Rogue, yours are. And since I plan on working here part time, I'll do my best to help you control them, okay?" Gwen said with a soft smile, knowing that she could help this girl, one who desperately needed it.

Jean sat on the side, listening silently with a soft smile on her face. She knew that Gwen was a good person, and she was happy to see that she would be helping someone who needed it more than most of the other students in the school. That, and she was smiling at the news that Gwen would likely join the school as a teacher for the kids, helping them learn how to control, understand, and manage their powers.

"Can you really help me?" Rogue whispered in slight hope, hope that she could finally get these powers of hers under control.

"I'm 100% certain I can, Rogue. Now, why don't we talk about something less depressing! Like why the dude with Red lensed glasses is practically glaring at me right now" Gwen asked, glancing at Scott who seemed to dislike her closeness to Jean. She knew that the teen definitely was not normal, and seemed to have some sort of mental influence clouding his mind, so she wasn't going to blame him.
