I'm so sorry about how long this took and I hope there's still someone out there willing to read this. Besides, the next update will probably take a long time as well. XD I completely forgot about this story to be honest. Anyway, here's Ororo.

FYI, in case it hasn't been clear, there are going to be things that will happen in the coming chapters you may not agree with or like, but please don't judge the entire story based on one character's feelings or memories.

Amelia walked out into the hallway after Scott, who looked like he had recently been crying, and looked at Ororo, who had been waiting outside to check up on him. She smiled at the older woman, "Would you like to go next?"

A jolt of fear ran down her spine, but she threw up a practised mask and smiled at her, "Whenever you're ready."

Amelia stepped back and gestured to her that she was clearly ready then. Cursing herself for loving the students as much as she did, enough to get herself into places like this, she walked into the room and gracefully sat on the couch, waiting in silence.

Amelia pulled the filled sheets of notebook paper off of the notepad and put them into Scott's file. When she put his file back in the cabinet, she pulled another one out, which Ororo was sure had her name printed on it. The doctor sat down in her own plush chair and opened the file, "Your history is...interesting."

"Hmm, which part?"

Amelia laughed, "Your entire past. All of you come from such interesting places, it's a wonder that Charles just thought of doing this now."

"Is Scott okay?" she couldn't help but ask.

"He'll be fine. We didn't nearly get through everything we wanted to, but he'll be back later. Probably for the best considering. Why are you so concerned for him?"

Ororo stiffened. Was this one of her mind games? "I'd be concerned for any of the students. It looked like he was crying and it takes a lot to get him to show emotion. I was just worried."

Amelia twirled her pen around in her fingers, "It's amazing. No matter how many people I talk to, the masks are always different. It could be slight or it could be something I haven't seen before. You live in your mask so fully, it's definitely something I haven't seen. I haven't ever seen a woman as young as yourself live so fully as the maternal figure."

"I just know how many of them could use a true parent."

Amelia laughed again, this time in astonishment, "Do all of you people sit around late at night and prepare your responses or are you just really good on the fly?"

Ororo thought it best to stay silent.

"Tell me about your childhood."

"What about it?"

"How much do you remember about your parents?"

Ororo sighed, "I can barely remember what they looked like and not much else. What I mostly remember is...how they died."

"Would you like to talk about it?"

"I don't see how I have much of a choice," she laid back on the couch to make herself more comfortable and began. "My parents were killed in a house fire that destroyed everything we owned. My sister had been at school, but I had been at home with them. I was trapped beneath the rubble for days. When they finally got me out, no one could understand how I'd survived. My sister and I were sent to a local orphanage, where we were raised and sent off to school. She became a nurse and I, a teacher. Eventually, I met Charles and he invited me to join his already established X-men

Amelia thought for a moment and then looked into her blue eyes, "That's interesting."

"Yes, and I'm blessed that it didn't end up much worse than it could have."

"Oh, but I think it already has," she dropped the hammer. "First you fail to keep your nephew, Evan, safe, which I'm sure your sister can't think too well of you for. Your ignorance has almost gotten the team killed on more than one occasion. You failed to keep the Hungan from capturing you and him having your powers could have easily hurt the team, but then again you were captured by Apocalypse and once again almost killed the team that was sent to help you. How does it feel knowing you're doing nothing but hurting the team?"

Ororo shot up from where she was sitting into a standing position, her eyes glowing white and the air crackling with the amount of electricity she was commanding, "How dare you? You know nothing!"

"Then tell me what is so different from what I've already said."

Tears gathered in her white orbs, but she refused to let them fall, "Evan made his decisions by himself. Vivian understood that no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't control him."

"You can't even control yourself. How could you ever hope to control another being?"

The tears began to fall like the raindrops hitting the ground outside, "None of that was my fault. The Hungan was a powerful man whom I met on a visit to one of the villages I used to teach at there! There was no way I could have expected his attack. As for Apocalypse, no one could have singularly beat him, even though I tried! There was no way I could have ever fought him off from controling me as one of his Horsemen. I was just lucky we trained those kids enough to be able to."

"So, in reality, it is your fault."

"I-I-I," she collapsed into a heap on the floor, a boom of thunder sounding from overhead. "I don't know. Yes! YES! It's my fault! I should have been protecting them, not attacking them!"

Amelia let the woman cry herself out for a moment and then handed her a tissue, "It seems Scott isn't the only one with pent up emotions."

Storm laughed without humor, "With everything we've been through, I wonder if we still qualify as sane."

"Define 'sane'."

"Good point."

Amelia stood and helped the other woman to her feet, "Why don't you take a break? We'll come back to you later. You know the rules. Don't converse with anyone about anything that has happened in here and make sure you keep your mental shields up from those telepaths. That doesn't mean put your mask back on, though."

"Point taken. Thank you Doctor Voght."

"I'll see you later, Ms. Munroe."

Alright. There goes the next update. I'm not as happy with this story as I was in the beginning, but I plan to see it through to the end. This story is still listed as being on hiatus because I have other stories that need finishing, but I'll get it up...within a month. XD

Next up is Kurt. Please review and tell me who you would like to see after him!
