I know it's been a while but I am back in the game. Please keep reading and reviewing. Let's just say Santa came early this year and a new computer is what he brought me in away.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything x-men.

"So how was Christmas with Greta and Sophie Ann? Anything interesting happen?" Wade asked as with and idiotic grin on his face. It was now New Years.

Flash back

"Ah Dears do come in. Your bedroom is upstairs. There are lots of blankets and pillows." I was gripping onto Sophie Ann's hand even tighter. Greta was the only women who could scare me.

I couldn't imagine what the inside of her house looked like. We walked into Greta's home. Completely normal huh I would have never guessed that. I followed Greta up the stairs. Sophie Ann was trotting along behind me.

We entered the room and Greta shut the door behind us. I those moments I was jealous of Sophie Ann not being able to see. Greta left us in the room by ourselves. She didn't want us over for dinner. She wanted us to be like rabbits.

"Is everything okay Zero your awfully quiet today." She stated. There was porn laying out, a new box of Trojans and some sexy lace for Sophie Ann. I cleared off the bed quickly. After I was done I guided Soph to the bed.

"You stay put and sleep. You have to be tired from the car ride here." I told her. At truly didn't mean to be bossy towards her but I couldn't exactly let her wander around the room right now.

"Uh okay." She said and stretched out on the bed. I quickly hide all the stuff Greta had put out for us. I made sure to do the bathroom too which that had lubricant and some more condoms.

I came out of the bathroom to see Soph fast asleep. Her hair was all in her face and she had left her shoes on still. I untied and slipped off her Converse. She groaned a bit and then rolled over.

I couldn't help but smirk. She was ridiculous in a cute way. I left her in the room and went down stairs to talk to Greta.

"What the hell is all that stuff about?" She giggled at my words.

"You need to us what you got before it all dries up." She stated with a wink. I rolled my eyes.

"Did Stryker put you up to this? Is this what he wants us to do? Breed like animals." Stryker had been telling me very little about future plans lately. The only thing he seemed worried about was me keeping an eye on Soph.

"No don't be stupid David. You know better than I do that Stryker hates mutants. He only tolerates the ones he needs. I want you to keep her from Stryker. You know what happens to most of the ones he captures" Greta's sharp tone was one that I had never heard before.

"She wasn't captured like the others. We ended up with her by accident. Why do you give a shit anyway?" I tried to make sure my tone was a thoughtless one. Greta shook her head at me.

"I rather like her and Sophie Ann does not deserve to end up like the others." She turned away from me.

Thump

"I am going to check on Soph." I stated. I walked up back up stairs to the room we were staying in. Sophie Ann was sitting on the floor with all the pillows and blankets on top of her.

"What the hell are you doing?" I let out a chuckle. Her hair was all frizzy and in her face. She looked absolutely adorable and lost.

"I uh was trying to get up to use the restroom. Sorry I haven't felt up my surroundings yet." She spoke in a bashful manner. Most girls would have just said I had to pee. I helped her up and guided her to the bathroom. I let her feel up the room before I finally let go of her soft hand.

"Thanks David." Her face was like a strawberry.

"It's not a problem Soph." I shut the door behind me. I leaned up against the door and sighed to myself. This girl she makes me feel odd.

After dinner

Greta had dropped hints all night about the activities she wanted us to do.

"What's this?" I asked Sophie Ann as she was holding out an odd shaped gift.

"I believe it's called a present and you suppose to give people them around Christmas time." She stated with a smirk on her face. I rather enjoyed her moments of humor. They didn't happen often. Normally she was just polite and quiet.

I tore the shiny blue Christmas paper that children would love to play with. It was a bottle of butterscotch schnapps. 34% ABV or 64 proof, she knew what the good stuff was. (I didn't know what everyone goes by so I put both up there. Those schnapps are really delicious though.)

"I can smell the alcohol on your breathe sometimes and Greta told me what you liked." She grinned at me and sat down on the bed. So this was Greta's doing, why am I not surprised. You could say I was a bit of a boozer but nothing that has ever gotten out of control.

"Thank you, shall we open it tonight and drink up." I said in a joking voice. In the inside I just needed to get through the rest of the night and forget about what Greta had said. Her expression changed to a frown.

"Umm I don't really drink." She stated with pink stained cheeks. I chuckled at her.

"Did you have one bad night and next morning from drinking too much?" I teased. I knew she was underage but it's the 70's. It didn't really matter.

"No I just ended up with a stupid tongue ring the last time I drank. It was not a fun night." She shuddered a little. I take it there was more than she wanted to remember about that night.

"How long have you had the ring for?" I asked her as I got a small box from under the bed. It was wrapped in the same shiny blue paper as her gift was. I guess Greta had helped us both out. I didn't know what to get women.

"I've had it since I was fourteen." She played with the tongue ring for a little bit. I forget how young she is sometimes. Soph always acts so mature but sitting hear really look at her youthful face makes me realize her fragile age.

"You're about seventeen right?" I asked her, I wanted to make sure I was correct. Great she's the legal age of consent in most states. Wade was going to have a field day once she turned eighteen.

"Yep, I am a spring chicken compared to the rest of the team." She said with a giggle.

"I am not really that much older than you. I am only almost twenty. Wade believe it or not is only a year older than you but he certainly doesn't act his age."

"You don't act your age in either. Not in a bad way but I thought you were in your mid-twenties." Not being able to see people probably makes age a difficult thing for her to tell.

"I got you something too. Greta had to wrap it for me I didn't really have anything myself to use for paper." I lifted her hand up gently and slid the box under it. She tore at the paper as I took a seat next to her on the bed.

She felt up the gift, I didn't want to tell her what it was.

"It feels like shoes." She gasped

"Slip on shoes!" Her face was full of excitement. It's not that I don't enjoy spending time with her I just know I won't always be around to help her out. She doesn't really know any of the other teammates that well yet.

"I made sure to get silver flats so that way they'll match anything you through on and you won't fall over like you would in heals." Let's face it Soph was probably the most uncoordinated person I knew.

She felt my up my arm until she got to my cheek. She planted her lips were her hand had lain before. I felt my face flush instantly. I leaned down and softly combined my lips with hers.

End of flash back

I smirked to myself.

"Nah nothing really interesting happened I just spent a few days eating and drinking with them." I would never let Wade or anyone else know about the time at Greta's.

"Well that sucks you didn't get action from either one of them." Wade laughed and walked off to go work out. Oh Wade you have no idea how strange it really was
