He pushed a strand of sopping wet hair behind his ear and squinted to see through the rain.
"Marie?" he whispered.
He quickened his pace towards the gazebo that he had been meeting Kitty at for the past couple of weeks.
"Hey," she whispered.
"Hey yourself," he replied.
She twisted her scarf around her gloved fingers and he just stared. He had forgotten how beautiful she was.
"What are you doing here?" he asked leaning against a post "Wheres Kitty?"
"I wanted to see you," she whispered.
"Why?"
"I missed…miss you." she exclaimed looking at him.
His heart jumped.
"This is the part where you tell me that you missed me," she said nervously.
"Of course I missed you," he said sitting on the table next to her "I've never kept my feelings for you a secret."
He took her hand and smiled sadly.
"It never really mattered, did it?"
"Of course it did," she said.
"You chose Bobby, not me."
It had torn him apart to see them together and as much as he would like to think that he joined Magneto solely based on principles, a part of him knew it was because he simply didn't want to hurt anymore.
"You scare me," she whispered.
"Why?" he asked.
"You're fearless, John," she replied.
He snorted.
"right…Fearless."
"Would you let me finish?"
"Sorry, g'head."
"Bobby is careful and he makes me feel safe."
"And me?" he asked.
"You excite me, you make my heart pound."
She smiled at him sheepishly.
" I excite you?" he asked grinning.
She slapped him lightly.
"Yeah," she replied.
He leaned over and kissed her hard on the lips. He relished the feel of her mutations insistent tug, its powers doing everything that its owner had already done.
"You," he whispered in her ear "Make my head spin."
