I'm not going to finish my other fics right now. I'm going to try and work on this one so I can get the feel of writing fanfics again.
"I'm scared"
Marie reached her hand out and held the smaller hand of a young girl.
"Don't be, they'll take good care of you." Marie smiled. The girl still looked shaken and worried. "Ella, I promise"
Ella nodded and started walking with Marie towards the school's front door. Waiting there was Storm; she had a friendly smile on her face, excited about the newcomer.
"Welcome, Ella. Marie has told me so much about you. I'm so happy you could join us." All the girls worried melted off her face as Storm led her into the building.
"I'll talk to you after you've settled in." Marie promised.
"Marie." She turned around to see Bobby standing behind her. "Welcome home"
She threw herself into his arms something she never could have done before the cure.
"Hello, professor." She murmured while she placed a chaste kiss on his lips. He placed his hand in his with a new found confidence and led her into the building.
"So who's the new girl, "he asked, as they sat in the common room.
"Ella Kelly. She's a shape shifter. Extremely bright, just turned twelve, her parents want to cure her but Ella feels it's her choice. I convinced her parents this was for the best." She explained.
"In my experience parents who aren't mutants, hate and fear their children who are. How did you convince them?" Bobby asked.
"I explained to them that when they cure you, you lose a piece of yourself you can never get back." She grinned sadly, "That she needed to learn how to use her powers before she can decide if she wants to lose them"
He wore a dopey grin on his face as he leaned in close to her. "That's why you are prefect for your job"
"Why thank you professor"
"BOBBY"
Kitty ran in but stopped as she saw Marie. "Sorry, I didn't mean to"
"It's ok, Kitty come in"
Marie felt a bit of hot jealously fill her as Bobby let Kitty kill their moment.
"I have the most glorious news to tell you, both of you"
"Spill it, Kitty." Bobby demanded.
"Peter asked me to marry him"
Marie felt her jealously turn to inner laughter at her silliness. "Congratulations!" she smiled then hugged her and moved so Kitty could hug Bobby.
"I'm so happy for you." He smiled.
"I have to tell Storm!" Kitty squeaked running out of the room.
"Speaking of marriage..." Bobby laughed.
"Bobby….You know who busy we are besides I've got fifteen more families to visit who can't wait to help or get rid of their kids. Not to mention the four orphanages that is begging me to come." Marie whined.
"Marie if we wait any longer…..look the world is secure now this is the perfect time to settle down…maybe start a family." Bobby bravely inserted. "And last time we spoke you said you only had six families and one orphanage"
"Well-" she started.
"Marie, your to nice. You need to take a break. Once Raven gets back from Europe with the five new kids you will take a break, please"
"I…alright, I'll try. I promise"
"Well, do you want me to help you unpack?" Bobby asked.
"No. I'm not staying." She explained. "Actually." She glanced at her watch. "I'm going to miss my train"
"What"
"I'm heading to New York City, young boy who can manipulate water got out of control, parents want me to meet them as soon as possible." She explained. "Now I have to make sure Ella's settled then I have to leave"
"Have it your way, Rogue. Just promise me one thing….take it easy"
"Yes, sweetheart!" she giggled exiting the room.
"I love you." He murmured. .
Marie stuck her head back in the room with a large grin on her face.
"I love you too."
