Asa was still staring at the floor an hour later when Storm knocked at the door. Storm - "Asa may I come in?" Asa -"Sure thing Storm, please do." Storm walks in to see Asa still staring at the floor. She sits down beside him and puts her hand on his back. Asa-"I guess you heard." Storm -"Yes I heard it all, I just got done chatting with Rogue." Asa -"Did she...." Storm - "She told me everything. Many men might have given in. But you did not and did a very sweet thing. Rogue thinks a great deal about you." Asa -"Really? " Storm- "And so do I. I have been concerned for my friend for a very long time." Asa -"How is she?" Storm -"Hurt of course, but she is taking it surprsingly well." Asa-"And Gambit." Storm- "Well I would avoid him for awile, especially around sharp objects and energy weapons." Asa- "Sigh." Storm starts to rub Asa shoulders. -"This is nothing new, their relationship has been a rocky one. Somehow they will get through it." Asa starts to relax a bit-"I hope things do get worked out, she does love him, and I think he loves her." Storm-"What about you Asa, you have interests?" Asa-"Well Ororo I always have interests, but right now with so much I do not know about my past I need some friends." Storm finshes rubing his shoulders. "Well Asa I hope you find out." Asa-"Thanks Storm." Storm-"Yawn.....well my friend I think I could use some rest. I will see you later." Asa-"See you later and thanks for your concern."
For the rest of the day Asa wonders around the forest area and by the lake. He finds Gambit and Rogue sitting off the edge of a the peir, they both have jackets on. Asa hides and tries to take in the conversation. Rogue-"Gambit I am sorry you feel this way, and I did not mean to hurt you." Gambit-"Oh Gambit not hurt at tal' It is your buisness if you want to make out with a "Holy Man"." Rogue-" That is not fair. We did not do anything, yes it may have been a bad idea to have him stay there for the night. But I needed to be held by someone just for one night. And in all the time we have known each other have you never touched another woman? Even though you knew I had feeling for you how many women have you slept with up to now? And even if we could touch, would I just be another one night stand 'Oh sorry Rogue but since we can touch and we already had sex a few times I am moving on'. And could you just hold me if that is all I wanted? Maybe we should just try and be friends." Rogue begins to fly off, but Gambit grabs her arm. Gambit-"wait Rogue please. Gambit is no saint, in fact I have slept with others. But Gambit truly "feels" something for you. If Gambit could touch you I could never get enough. Gambit simply does not have the words to describe how Gambit's heart feels. Rogue you are one special lady, and Gambit knows this is very hard for you. Gambit make this promise to see what the future holds and if Gambit is not the one you chose, Gambit can accept as long as you are happy, but you will always be special to Gambit." Rogue falls into his arms and starts crying. "Oh Gambit I do love you, but I am so tired of watching everyone else touch each other." Gambit-"(Gambit is too)......Gambit knows." Asa leaves the sence quitely.
The next day Asa walks in the danger room and finds a much happier Rogue. Asa-"Good morning Rogue." Rogue smiles-"Good morning Asa, how is your lip?" Asa- "Fine how is Gambit's hand?" Rogue-"I think it hurts a little. Asa me and Gambit had a talk and we are going to see what the future holds. I really want to try and see if we can make things work. But I told him your are becoming a very speical friend to me and he can live with that and promies not to kill you, at least not on purpose." Asa-"Ummm...that is comforting." Rogue- "I want you to know that the other night meant something to me, and I hope we can continue to become close friends and I think I am going to need your support in the coming weeks and months. But for the moment I am going to try and make things work with Gambit if possible." Asa-"I hope things will work out for you two." Rogue-"I hope so to. I think you and me are going to be close friend and I want you to know if I can help you or you need me, I am there for you too." Asa-"Thanks girl, I really need to hear that, it does get kind of lonely for me still." Rogue gives Asa a hug, then looks up at him and taps him on the nose with an exposed finger. Rogue-"Your welcome Asa, and your not alone."
Rogue leaves the Danger and Asa trains in some increased gravity. Asa-(ummmm if I ever trained in 500 times Earth's Gravity like that Vegeta fellow on Dragon Ball Z cartoon I would be a pancake, but increased gravity does make for a great work out. I wonder why I like that cartoon so much?) After his session Logan comes walking in. Logan-"Hey Ace, heard you been stiring up some trouble with Gumbo." Asa-"Well I think things will get better between us from now on. Anything up?" Logan- "We leave for the summit in a few weeks, but I have some news for you." Asa-"what is that?" Logan- "You and I are going to visit Gen-X." Asa-"Why?" Logan-"I promised Jubes I would be around more. I thought I would take her shopping and lunch, and spend a day or two around." Asa-"Ok, why am I going?" Logan-"You being the new guy gets to baby sit. Emma and Sean are taking the preteen childern on a little adventure for four days. You get to watch the teenagers" Asa-"Really, well that cannot be to bad....(why do i feel like writing a will?) Logan-"Bub if you thought Sabbertooth was tough you have seen nothing, I am leaving you alone with them totally for two days." Asa-"Glup!"
the next day Asa and Logan drive to the residence of Gen-X. Asa takes his hum-vee and Logan takes his bike. They walk into the school and go to the office of Emma Frost. Logan has a cigar. Emma is sitting behind her desk. Emma _"Logan I suppose you are here to see Jubilee? Could you please take that cigar out side my office and wait please, I need to talk with Mr. Steel." Logan-"Gladly....Nice knowing you bub." The door shuts as Emma stares at Asa. This makes Asa wish he was somewhere else, diving with hungry white sharks sounded very appealing for some reason. Emma-"Mr. Steel, I find you a very interesting man. Not many people can keep a telepath of my strength out of their mind." Asa - "(she is modest.) Thank-you Emma and please call me Asa." Emma-"Mr. Steel please address me as Miss Frost." Asa-"As you wish Miss Frost." Emma-"I do. In any case I am holding you personally responcible for the welfare of my students. They have been given assignments and other work for them to finish. I want you to train with them, do not hold back, but I do not expect to see them in the hospital. Keep them and yourself out of trouble, do you understand?" Asa-"(Brrrrrrrrrr)...umm yes Miss Frost I will do my best" Emma-"I exspect better." Asa resisted the temptation to shoot her with the biggest energy blast he could muster. Asa-"Yes Miss Frost."
Sean Cassidy the other head master of the school was out side Emma's office chatting with Logan. Sean-"I hear he is quite powerful, Jubilee and Paige have been talking a lot about him." Logan puffs on his cigar-"Well I bett he dose not feel so poweful now." they both laugh hearing a very loud Emma and a quite passive Asa. Sean-"Aye Emma can be a handful, and a crushing blow to one's ego. But I have gotten to know her a little and she is quite a woman, and truly cares for her students, even though she is very hard on them." Asa suddenly comes out with a tired look on his face. Asa-"Gee Wolverine why did you not tell I was heading in to that?" Logan just smiles. Sean offers his hand-"Hello there mr. steel, I am Sean Cassidy. " Asa-"Glad to meet you, ummm...does she bite?" Sean-"HaHa....Only to those she likes." Asa-"Well she must be in love." Logan and Sean laugh. Sean- "Well the teens are assembled in our new version of the Danger Room, why don't you two go say hi" Asa and and Logan leave as Sean walks into Emma's office. Sean"Emma there was no need to grill the man, I could hear ye down the hall." Emma was looking out the window. _"Something stange about him Sean." Sean-"Umm are we a little jealous that you cannot pry into his mind.?" Emma-"Nevermind, let us just leave."
Asa Walk into the new training room to find Gen-X during some exersises. Asa takes in the sence as Gen -X is in uniform. Jubilee notices, rushes over and hugs Logan-"Wolvie am I glad to see you!!!" Logan-"Hey darlin', you been behaving?" Jubes looks up -"Have you?" Asa- "No he has not." Jubilee goes over and hugs Asa-"oh did the big bad Frost scare you..... heheh." Asa frowns. Paige is the next to come over. Husk - "Hello Mr. Logan." Paige then gives Asa a hug. "Hello Asa..umm how have you been?" Asa -"(I wonder if they know about me being able to touch Rogue?)...I am fine Paige. Have You been training hard?" Chamber and Anglo take in the sence. Chamber -(I do not know about him.) Angelo -"easy my friend, we have four whole days to mess with his mind." Chamber-(Got a plan?) Angelo smiles -"of course." Penny and Monet appoarch Asa and Logan. Monet "Good afternoon Mr. Logan, Mr. Steel. I hope you had a pleasant trip." Asa -"Yes thankyou Monet. Hi Penny, how are you doing?" Penny smiles and waves. Asa waves at Angelo and Chamber -"hey guys, how are you two doing?" they bothe replied -"Fine" (Fine) Jubilee rolls her eyes. Logan-"Ok kids, listen up we are not just here for a social visit. We are going to test you out to see how you are coming along. Take a 20 minute break. Then we will start out easy, Gen-X vs Moose." Asa-"We will, so soon?" Gen X-"We will?" Logan -"yes, you have 19 minutres now. Better go get ready preacher boy. We will meet in the new training room." Asa leaves on puts on his offical X-man uinform, " Great I look like Scott or Sam in this blue, I really need to make my own uniform, I hate spandex."
Asa returns a few minute later to find Gen-X waiting. Logan- "Ok guys this is not the danger room, but there is plenty of room to move around. I will be the ref, anybody gets out of line and *Snikt. Understand? Asa and Gen-X "Yes sir!" Logan- "Good, Gen-X you are to try and capture Moose. Asa evade capture. Time linit is 20 minutes. Gen-X wins if Asa stays down or is stunned for more then a ten count. Asa wins if he can evade capture. Begin." Monet and Chamber smile to themselves, both have been waitng for this.
How will Gen-X do against Asa? Will Asa survive two days alone with Gen-X?
