RV: Okay, where are my reviews. Everybody was doing great up until now.
Please review or I will have gone through the pain for nothing. I have
stitches in my finger so it kinda hurts to type. I want reviews to know my
pain was worth it.
E *in Japanese accent*: Poor RogueVampyr.
K *clutching heart*: I feel your pain.
RV *crying*: You guys really care about me. I thought you were around just to annoy me and for once I'm glad to be wrong. *dries eyes* Okay. This chapter is for the little voices in my head. Enjoy.

"Hey, Rogue. Bobby and John aren't here and I don't know where they are."
"I wasn't looking for them," Rogue said stepping into the room and closing the door behind her. "I want to talk to you about the new girl."
"Destiny?"
Rogue smiled, "So you're the cute Liam she met earlier today?"
"Yeah," he answered just as her entire sentence soaked in. "She thought I'm cute?"
Rogue bit her bottom lip to keep from laughing at her boyfriend's roommate. "Come with me, Liam," she ordered stepping out of the room.
"Hold on a sec. Is she okay?"
"Yes and no. You'll understand when you see her."
Liam had no choice but to follow when a gloved hand grabbed him by the sleeve.

I stiffen as soon as I hear Rogue's light footsteps coming towards the room with another set of footsteps slightly heavier. My breathing and heart beat quicken in dread. I'm not ready to face anyone yet. "Kitty, what were you and Rogue communicating silently about in the hanger?"
"Rogue wanted to like go talk to Bobby, I suppose. She was going to his room. Why?"
"Could you look and see who she's bringing here?"
"Uh, sure." I hear her open the door and gasp. "Stay where you are. I'll be right back," she orders leaving the door ajar. Kitty starts scolding Rogue. "Why are you bringing him here? She like practically shot through the roof when she heard you guys. I don't think she's ready to face anybody yet."
I hear the 'him' sneak away from Rogue and Kitty's argument closer to the door. "Shit! Shit! Shit!" I panic and hide under the first bed I smack into.
"Destiny?" he calls softly through the door before opening it. It's Liam. "Destiny? I know you're in here." He opens the closet doors then closes them. "Why are you under the bed?"
"Do you want the truth or something that will make me seem less cowardly?" I ask scooting out from underneath the bed.
"Which ever makes the most sense."
"I was trying to find one of my new shoes," I say keeping back to him while holding up what I hope is a shoe.
"Nice try but that's not a shoe. It's a yo-yo," he says with a smile in his voice. He sits down on the bed closest to the door. "Since you told me the explanation that might have made you seem less cowardly if it hadn't been for that yo-yo, you can turn around and tell me what's going on."
"I was hiding from whom ever was coming in here," I say dusting off my newly changed clothes. I turn around and face him.
"My God, what happened?" he whispers the weight of his gaze never leaving my face. Liam grabs my hands and pulls me over to the bed to sit.
For the first time since waking up in the jet, I cry for the loss of my sight afterwards I told him what happened.
* * *
Liam held and rocked Destiny through her tears. Normally he'd find comforting a crying female uncomfortable and awkward but not with her. He didn't bother with the meaning less dribble of saying 'Everything is going to fine' and 'At least you have people who care about you to help you' that he'd heard when his father died. No, nothing like that.
After a couple minutes of crying Destiny dried her eyes and told Liam about Magneto's offer and the fight with Toad, Sabretooth, and Mystique. She told him about the pain and light she created then how she woke up in the Blackbird blind. Having grown up isolated from people that knew of, she was afraid of how the students would react to her being Logan's daughter and her blindness. She told him all this while he held her tightly in his arms.
Rogue and Kitty stood just outside the room listening to Destiny's voice. "Still angry I dragged him here?" Rogue asked Kitty.
"No. She needed to like spill her guts to someone," she sighed leaning against the wall. "Maybe this will get them together and we could all like go on a triple date."
"Let's just take this one step at a time, Kit. Let's go see if Storm needs any help in the kitchen."
