Hello! another chapter! i was doing Concerts all weekend with my chamber choir really busy, anyways! Translations are: good morning, you look so bueatiful in the light of the dawn...please Enjoy!

Lily, slowly waking from a deep restful sleep void of dreams good or bad, gradually opened her eyes to see Kurt's sleeping face next to hers. He looked so beautiful in the morning light as she smiled softly and nuzzled his deep sapphire blue cheek before turning to look…down. Terra Firma was apparently a good twenty feet below them and the branches they were currently sleeping in. Lily's eyes widened at the sight before turning back to see Kurt's golden eyes watching her curiously.

"Guten Morgen." He said pressing his forehead against hers tenderly.

"Good morning." She whispered back, closing her eyes and smiling as she reached out with her mind to gently touch his.

"Du bist so schön im Licht der Morgendämmerung." He said softly watching as she stretched out her naked body next to his.

"Perhaps… but you should know the old stories better than me. The most beautiful angel was also the most wicked." Lily replied with a searing smile.

"Some vould endure hell for zhe sake of a seraph." Kurt retorted pulling her onto his lap.

"I'm surprised we managed to stay up here this long." She said with a laugh, her eyes drifting closed and leaning her head against his shoulder as he ran a hand through her long, long hair.

"Reminds me of my first trapeze lessons…" He said looking down at the ground.

"When Frank had to bribe you down with sweets because you didn't want to come down?" Lily asked absently with a contented sigh. Kurt's hand stilled halfway down her back.

"I didn't tell you about zhat." He said slowly as Lily opened her eyes to look at him warily.

"Yes you did…" She said carefully as he shook his head.

"Nien, I told you about zhe first time I teleported."

"You must have told me about that too…How else would I know?"

"You tell me." Kurt said pushing her away slightly beginning to look angry.

"I…I…" Lily stammered as he looked more and more outraged.

"You read my mind didn't you? Didn't you?"

"No, I…it was an accident…please, let me explain." She said as he pushed her off his lap and teleported to the ground.

"Vhat's zhere to explain?" He snapped pulling on his ripped pants as she jumped gracefully down from the branch.

"Please…"

"No! I don't vant to hear it! How much do you know?"

Lily looked at him uncomfortably before turning her eyes to the ground in disgrace.

"Everything, just…everything." she said as he glared at her.

"Everyzhing… did you ever zhink zhat maybe I vouldn't vant you to know everyzhing about me?" He said angrily pulling on his shirt with sharp jerky movements. Lily narrowed her eyes as she located her own clothes and began pulling them on.

"No not at all, Kurt. I just decided to know every moment of your life. Every girl, every guy…every touch…every transition, every revelation…just for shits and giggles." She said an edge creeping into her voice as she held her ruined pants up by the belt loops.

"Zhe vay you are vith people I vouldn't be surprised."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Just zhat I vouldn't be surprised if you'd done it to zhe ozhers."

"You're not just talking about reading their minds…Are you?" Lily said her face becoming hard as he just stared at her before walking away.

"You screamed just as loud as I did last night, Kurt Wagner!" She yelled after him angrily.

Erik watched the blue imp walk into camp holding up his shredded pants and carrying his shirt. He noticed the young man looked agitated and angry as he walked over to one of the tents and disappeared inside. Mystique suddenly obscured his view as she sat next to him holding her head and a cup of steaming coffee.

"I didn't get an ounce of sleep last night…I blame your daughter." She said sending him a mild glare as he looked confused.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Seriously? I thought you would be up looking for them or fuming about it at least…"

"Why?"

"Well…Lily and Kurt…they um…"

"I'm going to kill him."

"Erik…"

"I'm going to kill him."

"No, you're not…"

"I'm going to rip that metal plate and screw out of his leg and then I'm going to kill him!"

"Erik Lensherr, stop it!" Mystique said angrily. "It's not like he forced himself on her!"

"But-but…!" He stammered looking at a loss for words as Mystique glared at him over her coffee cup.

"And if you try to hurt him I'll come after you and rip your lungs and eyes out!" She said in a low dangerous voice as she took a drink. Erik looked at her in surprise.

"Why, Raven…I do believe your maternal instinct is showing." He said with a laugh.

"Perhaps." She replied still glowering at him.

"I'm still going to kill him."

"Wait for the grandkids first…"

Lily stormed into camp looking like the wrath of all gods as she marched up to Erik and threw his helmet at him.

"Take it and may you be damned for it!" She hissed venomously before striding away to her own tent.

"Mornin'" Logan grunted at her as she passed.

"Fuck you."

"What the Hell?"

Logan and Erik both watched, in shock, as she swept furiously into her tent.

"What's biting her?" Rogue asked curiously.

"From the looks of her neck I'd say Kurt." Pyro said biting into an apple as Erik looked at him murderously.

"What?" He said innocently.

"Pyro, Rogue, get in the jet." Logan ordered with a jerk of his head. The boy shrugged indifferently and the two kids walked up into the plane, Kurt and Bobby following them after a moment.

"I think I'll go up with them and help Storm and Jean." Mystique said looking at the two men before standing up. "Don't be too long."

Both men stood up at the same time and looked at each other with irritation.

"What are you doing?" Logan asked glaring at the metal bender.

"Damage control, you?" Erik retorted.

"I'm trying to help…"

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, really."

"I couldn't tell…"

"Well, I couldn't tell how much you wanted to help her when you stuffed her in that machine and left her to die." Logan said tersely.

"That was her choice, not mine!" Erik said heatedly

"Right…"

"Will you two cease and desist?" Lily said walking out of her tent as it deconstructed behind her and began floating towards the jet.

"Lily, are you ok?" Logan asked quickly before Erik could open his mouth.

"I'm fine, Wolverine, why would you think I wasn't?" She answered looking slightly confused. Both men could see the pain in her eyes and could only think of one person who could have caused it.

"You usually don't swear at me until after I steal your coffee from you." He replied lightly as she walked past him towards the ramp.

"Oh, well I had a late night I'm sorry." She said as she smiled a smile that didn't quite make it to her eyes.

"Lily…" Erik said gently placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Let's get going." She said brushing the contact off. "I don't want to get stuck sitting next to the priest."

The two men watched as she walked up into the jet with long agitated strides.

"Truce?" Erik asked Logan, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Temporarily." He replied.
