P.S. Did that disclaimer make any sense?

Oh well, Oh and I rented the movie so no more jumping around. Well, I will skip parts of the movie that I don't think are important.

Victor walked next to Magneto through that newly destroyed Train station. #Ororo….she looked so…I can't even explain it.# the three men walked though the doors to find a crowd of policemen. Toad and him exchanged n amused look. #This should be good# Victor thought.

**

Ororo helped Scott to their car, reaching into the glove compartment, she found a pair of his sunglasses. "Here," she reached over and placed them over his eyes.

"Thank you, Ororo. Are you okay? I saw Sabretooth grab you and I panicked.". he reached over to inspect her neck.

Ororo smiled, reaching up to her neck and batting his hand playfully away. "I'm fine. I hope rogue and Logan are okay."

Suddenly a huge crash was heard. Scott looked out the window. "Oh my god!",

"What?" Ororo leaned over him. "Goddess."

Outside the station, there was a crowd of policemen, in front of them were two cars, that were now upside down. Suddenly, all of the police's guns were ripped from their hands and were now pointing at the men and woman who were just holding them. Suddenly Victor's hand shot out, and grabbed Magneto's neck. "what's Sabretooth doing?" Scott said as he got out of the car.

"I don't know", Ororo climbed out also watching as Victor held Magneto's neck and said something to him. Toad said something also.. #Did Victor have a change of heart?# she thought. Then Toad began to make his way towards the parking lot.. "Look Scott" she pointed to where Toad was headed..

Scott looked over and nodded, "Who is Toad carrying?".

Ororo squinted, and gasped, "It's Marie."

Suddenly a gun went off, Ororo looked around but no one was on the ground.

**

"Care to press your luck Charles?", all of the guns cocked. "I don't think I could stop them all."

*

Scott tried to head towards Magneto but Ororo stopped him. "If he sees you, he will kill those men and women."

Scott reluctantly stopped, "Can't you conjure up some wind?"

Ororo shook her head, "No, he could release the triggers before anything big enough hit him.….You can't control the size of your beam with out your visor can you?"

"No."

Ororo sighed as Victor's hand fell away from Magneto's neck and Toad made his way back to Magneto.

*

"Still unwilling to make sacrifices, that's why you're weak.". A helicopter flew over and landed in front of them. "Good bye Charles" And the trio climbed in. As soon as they were up in the air, the guns fell to the ground.



**

"Come on Scott. Let's go home", Ororo climbed back into the car.

**Back at the Mansion**

Logan stood in front of a mirror and splashed his face with water. "You said they wanted me", he told Xavier as he turned around.

"I made a terrible mistake….his helmet, it's somehow designed to block my telepathy. I couldn't see what he was after until it was to late.".

Logan shook his head and made his way passed Xavier and Ororo. "Where are you going?", Ororo asked him as he went passed.

"I'm going to find her."

"how?", Xavier asked.

"The traditional way, Look." He stormed out of the room.

Ororo followed him. "Logan….You can't do this on your own."

He didn't stop in his steps. "Well, who's gonna help me? You? So far you've all done a bang up job."

Ororo raced down the stairs. "Then help us, fight with us."

That stopped Logan. "Fight with you? Join the team? Be an X-man? Who the hell do you think you are? You're a mutant! The whole world out there is full of people who hate and fear you….and you are wasting your time trying to protect them?…I've got better things to do." He turned and walked a few steps before he stopped again. "You know, Magneto's right, there's a war coming….are you sure you're on the right side?"

Ororo lifted her chin, "At least I've chosen a side."

Logan shook his head and walked away. He opened the front door. There was Senator Kelly, he looked horrible. "I'm…Looking for Dr….Jean Grey."

**A few hours later.**

"Senator Kelly is dead", Ororo said, bursting into the room.

Xavier shook his head slightly. "I'm going to find her…" he looked up at Logan and Scott, "Settle this."

Ororo watched both of them, and couldn't help but notice hoe Jean seemed to be watching Logan. 'Logan? I need to speak with you.", Ororo stared at Jean, raising an eyebrow.

Jean said with her mind. What?

Ororo shook her head, I've known you for how long Jean? I know when you like someone with that, Ororo moved out of the room.

Logan followed her. As soon as the two were out of hearing distance, Logan grabbed her arm, "What is it now?"

Ororo stared daggers at him, "Let go of me!" she pulled his hand off.

'Well, what is it?"

Ororo sighed, "listen. I know, how you want to go running off to find Rogue. But, you need our help in this. I don't care any more if you join our side or not. But you will not go running off as soon as we find out where Rogue is, Alright? We don't need you screwing this up. Because our priority Is no longer Rogue,"

Logan laughed, "I wasn't planning on it. but…what are you going to do if I go?"

Ororo's eyes narrowed, "I don't think you would enjoy a lightening bolt up your ass, now would you?", #Whoa, girl where did that come from?# she smiled inside, keeping her face serious. This was one of the first times she ever stuck up for herself, and it felt good.

Logan's eyes opened wide, "well, Ororo…I didn't know someone like you knew how to cuss….was it your first time?"

Ororo was about to say something else when Jean came running out of the other room. "Some thing's wrong with the professor!", Ororo ignored Logan and ran towards Jean, who had started to head down the hall. Scott followed after them.

**

Logan hung back as the others stood around Xavier. "I'm Sorry." He said he said turning around. Ororo watched Xavier for a while, then turned to find Logan.

**

"Logan?", Ororo called. As she exited to elevator.

"I'm out here 'Ro!", a voice drifted in from outside.

Ororo went out the front door, finding Logan on the front steps. She smiled down at him, "Ro?"

He grinned, but didn't look up at her. "yeah,"

"Ro….I can live with it." she sat down next to him. 'Listen…I'm sorry about before. I was just afraid that-"

"I would take off and put all of those people in danger, just to save Marie." Ororo nodded. Logan looked at her. "I may not be the smartest man Ororo, but I'm not an idiot."

"I know, and this whole thing with the Professor….made me realize I wasn't being fair to you."

Logan nodded. "So…how does he look?"

"I think….I hope he will be alright. Jean said it was like over load on his brain. She went to go check out what went wrong. Hopefully, everything will be alright."

Logan lifted his arm and awkwardly put it around Ororo's shoulders. "I'm sure he will be"

Ororo smiled at him. "thank you."

The two sat there for a few minutes, not talking at all. Then for some reason, Logan removed his arm and stood up. Ororo looked up at him, confused.

"What's wrong?", she said as she got up.

Logan didn't have time to respond, when Jean appeared. We know where Rogue is. Come on.", Logan followed after her, with out even a glance back at Ororo.

Ororo nodded. #I see he must have heard her coming…..and…he didn't want Jean to think there was anything going on.#. She sighed. #Well, there goes any hope….that someone would want me#. Ororo took a deep breath and followed after the others.

Sabretooth patrolled the east part of Liberty Island, looking for signs of the boat. When he saw something. #Shit, I missed one.# Victor walked up behind the man and sunk his claws into his back, lifting him off ground. In the distance, he could see the boat approaching. Victor threw the man to the side and made his way back towards the dock. He waited for Mystique to show up. #Ororo…where are you?…# he knew if the X-men showed up, Magneto's idea was going to be ruined. But he couldn't help but want them to show. Just so he could see her again. #it's been about 8-9 years since I've seen her last…..that would make her about 25-26 yrs old#. The age gap was still there…..but Ororo was no longer the kid she was when Victor first saw her.
