Linda was humming a show tune that had found a way into her brain and stayed there. She didn't mind though, nothing could ruin her mod right now. She was currently shuffling through papers that held tiny rooms on them. These rooms were the entire institute and Linda was looking for Jean's room. She had a plan for the red hared wench. It involved blond hair dye, fake bugs, and clown masks. Linda knew that she would have fun with this plan.

Upon finding the room on the second floor she marked it off with a large red X and then set out looking for the dear darling Professor's room, intending to do almost the same but not quite to the professor. This plan would involve raw salmon, frogs, and numerous mice tails. These were all things that the professor was afraid of. Linda knew this because the good professor left his mind quite open as he slept when drugged. It was quite easy to drug someone when you controlled the very thing they drank.

All one had to do was pop in some pills and politely ask the element if it would hide the pills. Once the water agreed that it would the rest was amazingly simple. Water was used for scrying and Linda was quite good at it as she had practiced this talent when she had first found her talent when she was six. The talent was very easy and when Linda had looked into his dreams in the small silver bowl she always carried around with her she had seen hundreds of mice tails without the mice attached jerking spasmodically. It had been a terrifying dream and had left her watching the professor carefully after that.

She had drugged Jean as well and found that the red head was terrified of insects, blondes, and of course clowns. Not that the last phobia bothered her as Linda herself was quite afraid of Clowns. Bugs were all right although Linda didn't particularly like them. She snickered at the being afraid of Blondes part, some of her best friends were blond. She located the professors room and marked that off with an X as well.

Still humming Linda was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice John silently walk through the door. He smiled and moved behind Linda grabbing her hips at the same time as he whispered 'boo' into her ear. She shrieked and the marker flew out of her hands. She whirled around to face him.

"What was that for?"

"You were working so hard and it looked like you needed a break." Linda's anger at her boyfriends quickly dissipated and she grinned.

"Your probably right." Linda stretched her arms high over her head then covered her sides and squeaked as John poked her with a mischievous grin.

"Dooon't." She whined acting like a small child.

"Fine." John sighed and rested his chin on her head.

"When are you gonna be done?" He questioned "I'm tired of waiting around for you to be done your plan."

"I'll be done soon." She reassured him in a gentle voice as her continued to hold her in the metal room, with papers lying all around. It was times like these that Linda treasured the most because you never knew when your family would be gone and then all you would have to hold onto were memories of your most precious moments. Linda wanted to be sure that she would have many such memories of her and John.

She gave a weak shudder and nuzzled into his shoulder the dream she'd had the night before coming back to her full force. John had looked older maybe 30 and she was still by his side. In her dream they were lovers and it seemed as if five years had passes before her eyes but this wasn't what had bothered her, wasn't what had made her wake up sweating with tears running unchecked down her pale cheeks.

In her dream John had been holding her just like this when he had suddenly collapsed bringing her down to the floor with him. He had shown no sign of being ill but he was suddenly near death. In her dream she could only watch as months passed and he became sicker reminding her of cancer. John had lost his gift for manipulating flame only five months after his initial collapse and he soon passed away like his flame.

Linda let out a loose sob as she remembered her dream self clutching her lovers favorite shirt at night and wishing she could die.

"Luv are you okay?" Her John asked pulling back a little so he could see her face. Linda nodded keeping her head down so he wouldn't see her tears. It would embarrass her to have him find she had been crying over a dream. But what scared Linda the most is that it hadn't felt like a dream at all. More like the distant feeling she got when having premonitions in her dreams. She could only pray to God that he would stay safe and alive until they were both ready to leave this world together or that they both contracted this disease together. All Linda knew is that she couldn't live without John, he was her rock.

A/N

Wow that was a deep chapter. As all X-men fan's know, not the wimpy fans that started liking it because of that stupid show X-Men evolution, St. John Allerdyce dies of the Legacy virus around the age of thirty-five. Quite young I know.

Anyway's thanks for reading and please review.

Hugs and kisses.
