Disclaimer: I don't have anything to do with X-men.
Ororo's history may be different, I kind of warped it to fit with my story, kay?
10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10
The x-men stood outside of the small room listening to the mess Ororo was making Several times Jean tried to go to the door, only to have Scott or Logan stop her. "How do we know she isn't hurting herself? Why is she doing this?", Jean whispered to the Professor.
"Ororo, has always known what she is doing. She has just gone through something that none of us here can understand"
Logan stepped forward, "I can, I mean, I know what its like to lose my memory, but I've never had any of it return. I don't know what I'd do if it all came back."
Hank put a hand on Logan's shoulder, "Probably the same thing she is doing right now."
Suddenly a horrible thud came from the room. "What was that?" Scott asked.
"the table. I'll bet you anything she flipped the table over.", Logan listened some more, "I think she's done…..Man, could you imagine if she was using her powers to let this all out?"
The Professor nodded, "yes, we can fix the room later, but who knows what would have happened if she had let loose outside.", He paused and looked upward. "I wonder if it's raining."
A voice came from inside the room. "Logan? Will you and Scott come here?"
"Yes, hold on,", Scott and Logan looked at each other, Scott shrugged his shoulders.
Jean, went up to the door, and was about to open it, when the Professor stopped her. "Jean, I know you want to see her, but if she wanted to see you, she'd have asked for you."
"But Professor, I thin-",
Logan went up to the door, "He's right Jean. Now please move." She moved out of the way.
As Scott passed her, her reached out an arm and hugged her. He whispered, "I'll let you know if she's okay.", She nodded.
**
Magneto sat in his office, listening to the noise Sabretooth was making. He wanted to stop him but he knew what would happen if he got in between Sabretooth and whatever it was he wanted to attack. Then there was silence. Magneto stayed where he was, hoping no one would find him.
**
1 Logan walked into the room, he saw Ororo sitting in the corner crying. "Ororo? Are you okay?"
Scott came in, "Jesus, Ro. What have you done?'
Logan gave Scott a look of disgust and went to Ororo's side. Noticing that her feet were cut, he grabbed a blanket she had ripped off the table. Gently he wrapped her feet. "Do you want to talk about it?".
Ororo shook her head, "Just help me to my room, Okay?'
Logan nodded, casting a glance over his shoulder he signaled for Scott to open the door. He picked her up and headed out of the room.
"Ororo!, Are you okay?", Jean asked, stepping in the way of Logan.
"I'm fine Jean, I just want to go to my room.", Logan maneuvered his way around Jean. Ororo called back to jean, "I'll talk to you later, Okay?"
Jean nodded she whispered to Scott, "Why doesn't she want to speak to me? What do you think happened?"
Scott wrapped his ex into his arms, "I don't know, but we'll find out soon."

Logan went and place Ororo in one of the chairs next to her bed. He kneeled down and examined her feet, "let me get you something for that." He went into her bathroom.
"Logan, how do you think you lost your memory?…I-I don't mean to intrude…its…just that I'm curious."
Logan emerged from her bathroom, holding a bottle of peroxide and a couple of towels. "Honestly, I have no idea. I think I may have lost it because someone did something to me. I don't think I lost it because of an injury or anything like that….Why?" He kneeled down and held a towel underneath Ororo's foot.
"I don't know, When I woke up I saw Papa and Vic-I mean, Sabretooth and Magneto, my head hurt something awful. But after a few hours the pain went away and the next day it was gone. Now Lici…..Lici said the injury was a bad one. But if it was that bad why did it go away so quick? I-AAH!", Logan had poured the peroxide over her foot. "warn me when you do that."
"Sorry, So what are you saying? You don't think you're injury was enough to cause your memory loss?", He wrapped the towel around her foot. "There wasn't any big chunks of glass, if Theresa sliver you will feel it when you stand."
"Thank you. You see, Lici told me, that if my amnesia was caused by an injury, it would more than likely be permanent. However, as soon as I saw those images Jean put in my head, I remembered everything….I don't think I lost my memory because of the accident. I think I wanted to forget."
Logan shook his head, "Ororo, I haven't known you that long, Why don't you tell the Professor this? Or Jean? Or even dickhead?"
Ororo stood up, "I don't think they would understand. You see Logan, I care about them, I have a history with them, they wouldn't understand, Oh they would try. But it wouldn't work. Emotions would get in the way. And one more time I'd have to pretend that I was okay with everything……this whole experience Logan, has taught me….that I don't want to pretend any more", she limped over to her bed and sat down on it.
Logan got up and stood in front of her. "What do you mean by that Ro?"
"Logan, this past month I've-", Ororo looked up. "Never mind, Just leave me alone….I need to think about this."
Logan nodded, with one last glance back, he headed down the stairs.
Ororo got up from the bed, walked to the window and opened it. With one fluid motion, she hurled herself onto the roof.
Flashback
"Ororo?", Ororo turned at the sound of her name, "Yes Scott?
"hey I was wondering, if you weren't busy could you do a something for me?"
Ororo smiled and said, "Sure what is it?." #go out with you? Sure I'd love to# she imagined in her head.
"Could, you give this to Jean? I was going to give it to her in class to day, but I got a little nervous", he held out an envelope with a rose. "I'd really appreciate it."
Though Ororo felt like crying she nodded, "I'll give it to her."
"Thanks Ro! I'll owe you one, right now I got to get with the other guys. See ya!"
Ororo waved him off, "see ya". #I wonder what Jean will say. She knows how much I like him. I hope she'll let him down easy.#
A little while later, the two girls were in their room. "Jean? Scott asked me to give you this." Ororo pulled the flower and card out of her bag.
Jean smiled, "Oh, that's so sweet." She read the card, "he wants me to go see a movie with him!"
Ororo smiled weakly, "Well, what are you going to tell him?"
Jean shrugged, "I'm going to go thank him for the card, And I'll ask him what he had in mind to go see."
Ororo blinked, "Um, Jean, you know….", jean kept looking at the card. Smiling.
"yes Ororo?,"
"Nothing Jean."
Now
Ororo shook her head, #that was over ten years ago Ororo. You have to let it go. I mean, they didn't even start going as a couple till jean was 20….but how could she do that? Totally forget my feelings for Scott? It wasn't like I was in love with him. Its just the principle, I'd never have done that to her.#. Ororo closed her eyes, and a newer memory surfaced.
flashback
Lici came back from dumping her and Ororo's trash, "So! What movie are we going to see? I am Sam starts at 11:30, how about that?"
Ororo didn't want to see the movie but nodded, "Al right, that doesn't sound bad."
Lici shook her head, "Ororo, do you want to see the movie? Don't say you do, just cause I want to."
Ororo shook her head, "no Lici I really want to see the movie.", Lici raised an eyebrow. "Al right, I don't"
Lici grinned, "Now, that wasn't so hard was it?", Ororo smiled. "Now, what do you want to do?"
Ororo tilted her head in thought, "I would like to see that one movie, the count of Monte Cristo."
Lici's eyes opened wide with glee, "ooh girl! You are going to love that movie! I saw it when it first came out, and I must saw that count is ooh, so cute!"
Ororo's face fell, "You already saw it? I don't want to see it then."
Lici shook her head, "I'll see it again. Really, it's a good movie, Come on, it starts in fifteen minutes and we still need to buy tickets." She grabbed her coat and waited for Ororo to get hers.
Now
Ororo wiped a tear away, #It was nothing big. But, she could have pressed going to see I am Sam. Instead she did what I wanted to do. Not like Jean. Jean would have gotten a face on. Whining that she had already seen It.#. Suddenly, a voice echoed in Ororo's head. "Don't ever let people walk on you Ororo. Cause once you do, you Ain't ever gonna get up." #Oh Lici, why couldn't you have known me before….before you had to die?#
"Ororo?….Don't… hate me…Okay?"
"Why? I don't understand."
"You…..will…someday…"
#I understand Lici…..I understand# Ororo began to let her tears flow freely, #funny, I've cried more times these past few hours, than I have my whole life#. As her tears fell, so did the rain. Ororo leaned back on the roof, letting the cold water run over her body, "Let it rain," she said aloud. "Let it Rain."
