The Beginning of the End:Part 1
"Aurora! What were you doing back there?"
"What you asked me too! Take out the enemey !" Aurora yelled heatedly. The
recemblance to Storm was uncanny. The same black eyes and White hair. The same
feral beauty. It stopped at personality.
"I didn't say kill the bystanders! 2 kids and a mother! Your lucky this was
just training!"
"I did what you told me. You have to sacrifice a few to save many so what? We
won!"
"I...I can't listen to you anymore!. You enjoy this too much!"
Jean ran out of the room almost at the point of tears. Aurora rolled her eyes
with comtempt.
"Why do you always do that to her Aurora? Can't you leave her be? She hasn't
been the same since well since...."
" Asuka shut up. It's none of your buisness" Aurora stalked away leaving the
rest of the team shocked and confused.
"She gets worst every day Rosh! Remeber when she first came here? " Asuka's
black hair was plastered to her face with both sweat and tears.
Rosh remeber perfectly. He didn't want to forget..
It had been a hot day. The team was training vigerously for a battle they
sensed might be boiling up soon. It was Blair was had sujested they need more
members. New recruit's. Only Asuka Blair, and Rosh were x-men at that time.The
professor....well he was still around. That seemed like a whole diffrent life
time.
Rogue had found the girl lost, confused wondering the street's, so she brought
her to the institute hoping they could help. The first day Aurora had made it
clear she did not want any help.
She was already proving how headstrong and independant she was.
" I can take care of myself. I feed myself, I cloth myself, I find shelter for
myself"
"Aurora, was it?"
She nodded.
"When Rogue found you, you were wondering the streets babbling. And As you told
her you don't remember anything before that. Only your name, Age, and powers.
You don't rememebr you family, address, or when you got your powers. Correct?"
"Yeah so?" She crossed her arms over the faded gray T-shirt she was wearing "
What's you piont?"
"To put it simply I can't let you leave the institute if you are a danger to
yourself and or others. And in this state you are.Please. Stay here. Join us.
You powers make you a valuable part of any team"
"Team. I....No. I work alone. Always alone" She whispered
"I cant make you stay Aurora. Just remember, if you need anything just come
back here. Our door's are always open." He shook her hand, cringing, in obvouis
pain. Even wheeling himself out of his office seemed to drain him of energy.
Aurora left the building wondering if she had made a mistake.
She did indeed come back. She intruded right into the X-men's session in the
danger room.
Almost got herself killed in the process. Asuka was shocked when she saw a head
and body emerged from the wall. Aurora dogded a laser just in time.The
simulation was stopped emidetly.
"I'm Aurora. Your newest recruit"She didn't offer a hello. It was more of an
except me as I am or else.
"You almost got yourself killed! Are you alright?"Asuka showed genuin concern
for the girl.
"Yeah whatever. Don't look at me like that. I don't do concern. Lets train"
Rosh leaned against the wall.
"Let's train"
That had become her unoffical catch pharse. That and
"I don't do concern,pity,pain ect."
*Or any emotion* Rosh thought ,wondering if she even had a heart.
" Rosh? Are you ok?" Marco asked him "Asuka's right. Your this teams leader
Rosh" Marco gestured around the room to the the X-men. Asuka with the powers to
mainpulate fire. Blair with his telekenisis, and telepathy. Ryan the shape
shifter, Mai the teams only flyer ,except for Aurora,and as well the resident
super woman. Marco who could cast an illusion with a snap of his fingures and
finally Rosh who could neuralize another mutants power and then use it himself.
"I hate to say it, but maybe Aurora needs some time to figure it all out. Away
from the X-men"
Tears threatened to spill from him eyes. She couldn't leave.
*They really have no idea*
" Lets talk about this another time. Not now. Just get some rest"

The team dissembled, many shaking there heads and rolling there eyes in
disbelif at what Aurora was doing to the team ,and went there seprate ways for
the day.

"Ororo I can't do this anymore! She dosn't listen. Aurora dosn't even show up
for training most of the time. And when she does" Jean was crying, getting the
story out between soul wrentching sob's "It's like talking to a 2 year old!"
"Jean, Yes That child can be trying. As I can tell she is confused. As you know
she dose not know anything about her past. When Charles" The Wheather Which
paused a moment to see how Jean would react "Tried to probe her mind even he
came up empyt handed. I don't think it's entirly her fault"
"I know. It's..It's....not that .Ever since Scott and Charles passed on, The
X-men have been falling apart! The fight's.....we fighting a battle we can't
win. I dont know how long it can go on like this. I think this might be The
Beginning of the End"
"No Jean. We will not stop fighting. Charles never would have." Storm summoned
up all her strength to say it. She secretly thought the same thing. Jean seemed
to gather strenght from the statment. The red head stood up smoothing back her
hair and clothing.
"Your right Ororo. I only hope these kids can keep it together better than I
am."she puased sighing " I'v decided to leave for a few week's. There's thing I
need sort out about myself and about him"
Ororo shook her head. She understood completely.
"Farewell Jean. I hope you find what you seek" The 2 former x-women shared a
hug, both feeling emotion's that are nameless.

Ororo sat in the office even after Jean was gone reflecting ,remebering . Many
of the people she cared for, loved, were gone. Moved away , or dead. It felt
like the world itself was spinning out of control and would crash and shatter
into a million pieces much like her heart was. Ororo layed her head down on the
desk and for the first time in years she cried, not caring if it brought on a
monsoon.

" It's raining " Aurora commented to herself well watching some
television. She heard the front door shut and a car start up in the drive way.
The young mutant already knew it was Jean.
" Good. She's gone. Now I can get back to training"
" Actually Aurora. No. You are no longer going to be involved in our
training" Rosh entered the room from the hallway flicking off the Television.
She grinned. Rosh was angry with her. But then again wasn't he always?
" Oh Yeah? Whose gonna stop me?" She asked smirking.
Rosh was tempted to let the whole thing go. He didn't want her to leave.
" I will " He said with effect.
" Yeah ok. Sure " She laughed
He sighed, flustered.
" I discussed it with the team. We all think you need to take some time
off and figure out whatever is bothering you . We can't afford to lose anyone
right now, but with the way you'v been acting...If It were up to me...you could
stay "
He kept his head down praying she wouldn't see....
It stuck her.
" You don't want me to leave? You don't still...do you?"
He turned and started to walk away.
" No. Just leave until you figure things out Aurora "
A door slammed somewhere down the hall. She barley heard it.
*Leave....untill I figure things out...* She was confused
No one had ever told her to leave before. Maybe Jean had put him up to it.
No...no something in his voice told her this was for real. It wasn't her choice
anymore she had to leave the X-mansion....maybe forever.
Like so many X-men before, her life was taking a turn for the worst.
