Come on guys, How mean do you think I am? I just have to warn you, this
probably won't end as you think it will. Muhahahahahahah (I kid)
Oh, and I am not sure about Ororo's religious beliefs, I know she isn't Christian, but as for after life…I kinda winged it, tell me if I screwed it up royally. I don't go into much detail, but I would still like to know.
Oh and How is Ororo's mom's name spelled? I've seen N'Dare and N'Dar so far

A Knock came at the Motel door, Ororo looked at the clock on the wall. She was 2 hours over for what she paid. Which meant, if she didn't sneak out about…right now, she would have to pay another days fee. Which Ororo didn't have enough money to do. Grabbing her jacket she pulled it on, and went into the small side room where Aradhana was, "Dani? Honey?"
The small girl got up, and rubbed her eyes, "What's wrong Momma?"
"Nothing Baby, just hurry and-" the knocking on the door became a pounding, "Hold on Hun" Ororo reached up and pulled a large pin out of her hair, going up to the door, she shoved it into the lock. Jamming the door…for the time being.
Going back into the room, "Dani, hurry, we need to go"
The small girl began to pull on her clothes, her shirt was on backwards, but there was no time to fix it. Ororo out Dani's small Jacket on and picked her up, "Momma I can walk"
"I know Honey." Ororo went up to the back window, "but you can't run"
And just as the front door, burst open, Ororo leaped out of the window.

Logan watched the small TV in the work out room, as he ran on the tread mill. He was tired of all of this news about the Cannery Accident, but a part of him cared, and he couldn't look away from the screen.
"And it seems as if there were only twenty** Bodies found in this wreckage since The nineteenth. As for identifying the Bodies, Police had refused to release the people who were working here. As for the cause, we may have a lead"
The scene cut away to a different worker who was discussing The cause, which had been some kind of gas leak, but Logan wasn't paying attention to him, for in the background, Logan could make out a person on a stretcher that was being covered with the all to familiar black plastic, A person…a woman….with white hair.
Logan ran from the room.

Ororo stood in front of an apartment complex, her heart soared, Knowing the people inside would help her. Going inside the Building she noticed some changes. The once plain brick was now painted a checker design, and sitting at the desk was no longer Vern, But a young girl.
"Excuse Me?" Ororo asked, her hand clutching her daughters hand.
The girl looked up, "Um, yeah?"
"Is Vern Or Max here?"
the girl shook her head, "Nope, Max died just a few months ago, so Vern sold the place…Too many memories. At least that's what the super told me…he took over for max"
Ororo was shocked, Vern had never called Ororo to tell her about Max's death. "Thank You" tears threatened to fall, but Ororo blinked them away, refusing to let her daughter see her cry any more. *Be strong…for Dani….*
The girl nodded and went back to staring at her nails.
Ororo walked Dani outside, "Momma…I'm Hungry….Can we get a McDonalds?" the girl pointed at the one across the street.
Ororo smiled and began to head over when she realized something, "Hold on baby" she reached into her pocket, all she had was five dollars, the rest of her money back at the motel, "Sh-" she looked down at Dani.
She smiled at her, "Come on Mommy!"
Ororo sighed, she only had the five dollars, and she needed more if they planned on eating tonight. Looking around she got an idea, "Okay Dani, Let's go get you a happy meal"
Ororo bought a chicken nugget happy meal for Dani, and a large diet coke for herself. "So Dani….How are you feeling?"
Dani smiled, "Good Momma"
"I mean, about Papa. How do you feel about that?"
Dani stopped eating, "I want him back."
Ororo nodded, "So do I honey"
"So, why can't he come back? Or Grandpa? Or Auntie Raven?"
Ororo smiled at her daughter's innocence, "Honey, When someone dies…." *Oh, Goddess I don't know if I can explain this* "They leave so, that we don't see them any more….but we can still remember them…and talk to them…They just can't talk back…but they are always around us." Ororo bit her lip *I want Victor Back….I know death is a part of living….but I need him.* She looked up at her daughter, she seemed so sad….And Ororo would do anything to make her daughter's sadness go away.
"Come on, baby. Let's finish eating."
"When do we get to go home?"
Ororo sighed, "We don't Honey." She gathered up the trash, "I'm sorry, but we'll find some where, where we can stay…for the time being."
Ororo got up to throw the trash away, when she saw a young man standing at the counter, his wallet sticking out slightly, *If I just stole from a few people-NO!….I'll figure out a way…I can figure out a better way"

"Ororo's dead?" Scott asked Jean.
She nodded, "Logan….he…just saw her….on TV." Jean was blinking back tears.
"Hey…Hey it's okay" Scott went around their child's crib to hug her. "It's okay to cry"
"I know…I know she's been gone for so long and…She left because of us….Do you think she died…hating us?" jean sobbed into her husband's shoulder.
"I don't know…I hope to God she didn't."
Jean pulled away from Scott, to look at him, her eyes puffy and red. "Do…Kitty and Marie…and all them…Do they know?" She wiped at her eyes.
"I don't think so…..Do you want me to tell them?" Scott asked, his visor hiding his eyes, but Jean knew he was on the verge of Crying.
"No…I'll….I'll tell them."
"Jean? What about….Xavier?"
Jean choked back a sob, "I'm…I'm sure he already knows."

Danger Room
**
Though it had been six years, Marie had stayed with the X-men and was now a full fledged member, along with her old friends Kitty, Jubilee and St. John. Also with her Fiancé of six months, Bobby.
The five X-men were gathered in the Danger room, deciding which drills to run, when Jean walked in.
"Dr. Grey! You shouldn't be here in your….condition…what's wrong?" Marie asked, going up to Jean, who was holding back tears.
"Well, I have some bad news"
Kitty stood up, "Is something wrong with the baby?" She went over to Jean, Jubilee following her
Jean shook her head, "Now, My baby's fine, it'll be here come January." She smiled weakly. "But, I don't know if you remember Ororo, Marie, but Kitty and Jubilee should, and so should Bobby."
Marie kinda laughed, "I remember Storm." Her smile faded, "What's wrong?"
"She…she died…..the Cannery, was where she and the bro-….her family lived."
Marie's face crumpled, she hadn't known Ororo that long, but she had like her. Noticing Bobby's sad face she wrapped her arms around him, "It's okay" she whispered to him.
Kitty began to tear up, Ororo had been her favorite teacher, and had been like a mother to her…and even though she hadn't seen her for about six or so years, Ororo would call Kitty every now and then to check up on her. "But….How?"
"I'm not sure…the news…hasn't said. You okay Marie?…Bobby?…..Jubilee?" Both Kitty and Jubilee were crying softly, but nodded.
"So….Are we going to do anything for her?", Kitty asked.
"You mean, like a service?" Jean asked, Kitty nodded, Jean reached out and hugged Kitty, "I Think that would be a nice gesture" Jubilee went over and hugged Jean, while Marie comforted Bobby.
**
Ororo watched people rush past her, so many of them would be easy pickings…but she felt she had to find a more permanent source of money. But, there was no where she could go. She had no identification, or any money. Looking down at her daughter who was curled up on the bench next to her, her head in Ororo's lap. *Goddess, I do not think I can do this with out Victor…or at least Vern and Max, I can not believe he is dead…I just could use some guidance, right now…Where can I go?*
Just then Dani sat up and ran off, "Dani?! Dani get back here right now!"" Ororo got up and ran after her, "Dani! Aradhana N'Dare Creed! You get back here right now!" she grabbed her daughter and picked her up, "What do you think you are doing?" Ororo yelled at her.
"I'm Sorry, Momma, I heard someone calling me'" Dani wrapped her arms around her mother's neck, "Don' t be mad Momma."
Ororo hugged her daughter, "I'm not mad at you, you just better not do that- " Ororo stopped talking her eyes on a window display, "Oh, Goddess" She walked over to it, her eyes never leaving the screen.
"….And later tonight we learn more about Charles Xavier, who has given unselfishly to many children in the past 17 years-"
The screen cut to Xavier, he was seated in his office, "and Do you see yourself as a generous man?"
"Generous? I've been described as that" Xavier smiled, "But I see myself, as just a person, who wants to help out others, I know are school was once only known as a "Gifted" Children's school, but we like to think that everyone is welcome here" he seemed to look right at Ororo as he said those words, "Everyone"
And Ororo knew what she had to do.
