Ten years Later.
"Ororo!" Jean yelled running down the hall. 'Ororo!"
Ororo stopped, "Jean? What's the matter? Are you alright?"
"I need you to sub for my class. Scott and I are going away for the weekend!"
"What? When?"
"He just came and told me to go pack! We are going to Colorado! Vail!"
"Vail? How long has he been planning?"
"I don't know a month or so, so can you?"
Ororo let out an exaggerated sigh, "What do I have to do?".
"You won't have to teach them anything, just let them have a free hour. You just need to watch em. And we should be back before Monday, so you won't have to do it after today."
#Good# Jean taught the English class, and though Ororo learned to read and write. She had never been that good. "Alright I'll do it, just go have fun."
Jean grabbed Ororo and hugged her. "Thank you so much! I'll bring you back something!". She took off down the hall.
Ororo smiled after her friend, It had been ten years since Ororo had come to the X-men's and she had never left. There had been some things to get used to, like the fact she had to fight her former friends in battle, but after the first year the awkwardness faded away. Ororo also learned to control her powers and though she had a late start graduated from high school and earned a teaching degree. She had been teaching at the school for about a year now, her subject World History.
Ororo walked to Jean's class room and sat down waiting for the class to arrive.

"…What?"
"Victor? Is that you?"
"Yeah, who the fuck's this?"
"You always did have the nicest attitude."
"…..Magneto?"
"My you are a smart one."
"Why? It's been…Hell, It's been 7…8 years"
"I know, I need you to do something for me."
"What?"

Xavier was in his office when a person sped past his office door, "Ororo? Where you off to?"
Ororo stopped and backed up to face him. "I was looking for Scott and jean, I wanted to say good-bye-"
"They are already gone."
"Oh….What are you working on?", Ororo walked further into the room.
"oh, this Tuesday, Jean and I have to go and debate the "Mutant Registration" act. I am just going over the details"
"I see, how do you think it will go?"
"….I'm not sure Ororo…..all I know, is that if it passes, no good can come from it."
Ororo looked down, not wanting the Professor to see her even the slightest bit upset. "I better go. Its only us watching a houseful of teens."
"Alright Ororo."

Victor stood next to Magneto as he showed him pictures of a girl. "this is the girl I want you to get. She is a key part to my plan, and you are the one who I know can do this….Can you?"
Victor almost laughed, "Of course I can handle it. What is her mutation?"
"She can absorb people's life force, and if it is a mutant, she can take on their powers for a short amount of time."
"How good is she at controlling it?"
"As far as I can tell, she can't. Which means do not touch her skin, she could kill you."
"So, where does she live?"
"That is where I am stuck. See she used to live here," He points to the southern part of a United States map. "However, she has run away."
"right, I'm the only one you know that can do this?, don't feed me bullshit."
"alright, I need you to track her down. As far as I can tell you are alright at that."
#Alright?# "I'll get her. I should have her in a couple of days."

Scott and Jean return
**
Ororo sat on her bed wondering what fun Jean and Scott were up to. She had no attraction to Scott. She did have some feelings for him when she was a teen, but those feelings had passed over the past ten years. But, she wanted what Jean had. Someone to love her, the way Scott loved Jean. Not like she made it easy for the would be love interests to find her. She was always at the mansion, she never went out. Except maybe a time or two with Jean and Scott.
Suddenly, steps were on her stairs and Jean burst into the room. "Hey! I'm back!"
Ororo got up, her defenses up as she hugged Jean. "Hey! How was it?"
"Fantastic! I brought you back something." She set down the small bag she was carrying and began to rummage around it it. "Ah, here it is!", she handed a tissue wrapped package to Ororo.
Ororo smiled as she unwrapped it, "Jean you shouldn't have….Oh". it was a small wind chime that was made up of clouds. The largest cloud was in the center and several small ones hung from it. "How sweet. I can't believe you got me this. I thought you were going to give me a one of those tacky shot glasses or something." She turned away from Jean, holding her new prize up.
Jean's smile faded, she threw a smaller package back into the bag. Jean rolled her eyes, going to Ororo's side "Jeez Ororo get me some credit."
Ororo laid the wind chime on her bed. "So, where's Scott?"
"Downstairs talking to the professor. Oh! That reminds me, we have that debate to attend the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, he mentioned that. Are you worried?"
"I am, just a little. I mean, could you imagine? Every mutant having to reveal themselves?….I could kill the guy that thought this up."
Ororo went and sat down on the sofa in her room. "I'm sure it will be alright. I doubt everyone one voting will agree with this senator Kelly's point of view."
"I don't know Ororo. I hope you are right."
**After the Debate**
Scott was rubbing Jean's shoulders as they watched the news, a shot of senator Kelly flashed on the screen. Jean shut off the TV.
"I can't believe that man Scott. The way he talked about us…..You know, he mentioned Kitty's powers….he said what was to stop her from walking into a bank vault or into someone's house. I wanted to scream at him, that Kitty would never do something like that. Then he started in on the Professor's powers and I-"
"Ssshhh, don't think about him….just relax." He began to kiss the back of her neck.
She leaned back. "That feels nice…..I can't stop thinking about that!" Scott dropped his hands from her shoulders. " I saw inside of his head Scott…" she turned to face him "…he will not rest until this act passes."
"Jean, why dwell on it? I have confidence that those people will not let this pass. Why don't you?"
"I don't know Scott…I just…I can't help but worry." She laid his her head on his chest.
"Jean you have to….you always worry about things…things you can't change"
Ororo appeared at that bedroom door. She knocked on the frame, disturbing their little tryst "You guys? The professor wants us."
"Alright Ororo, Scott and I will be done in a minute."
