OT: Got pulled back into things a bit here at the Lounge with the announcement about the departures from Blizzard North. I've been lurking all this time. Hey everyone! :D
As for those two, here are my thoughts:
Mystique: Terribly wounded by being gored (ouch), she took on the form of that body guard and held it as best she could. The medical team arrived, treated here as if she were the guard, and at some point she probably busted out of the hospital (or just turned into a nurse and walked out calmly). I didn't see her "heal" at any point. I think it's just a matter of appearance.
Rogue: First off, her parents survived because her powers had not yet manifested. They described it something along the lines of how they appear around puberty, often during a traumatic experience, if I'm not mistaken. Well, perhaps not traumatic, but in those young days the situation would definitely get one's heart going. What we saw in the beginning of the first movie was the very first time she'd had that happen.
As for absorbing some powers, I don't think she can control them. She absorbed Magneto's... er... sure, his essence, and found her hands clamped down to the metal in the gyro. She couldn't do anything about it.
So most of the power, with almost none of the control.
