Summary: Johnny boy desides to come back to Mutant High ´couse he realized he was on the wrong team after all. M/B, J/Original Character
Disclamer: The characters of X-men or the movies, ovbiously, don´t belong to me, otherwise should I be exposing my incredible ideas like this? I don´t think so, and besides, I would be rich... millionaire!!! But just between you and me, I wish I owned Pyro and Iceman!! Oh! And Wolverine too, of course! Though not Scott... he´s so GQ, you know? (that was so Ally MacBeal!)
Author´s Note I: Man, Aaron Standford´s HOT! I downloaded a LOT of pictures of him and... WOW! I mean I liked him, but now I LOVE him!! By the way... What´s a Mary Sue story?? I didn´t understand that... I read around that a MS story is a story where all the characters are, like, perfect... is that right??

Chapter 1
There´s No Place Like Home

He walked the long way from the gate to the front door. He was nervous but most of all scare. What would they do? Would they treat him as their enemy? Well, he had sort of been their enemy for half a year. He had never fought against the X-Men though, ´couse for the 6 months he had been with Magneto, the Brotherhood hadn´t come across with them.

Many questions kept popping in his head. Would they know the reason he was back? Would Professor Xavier know why he was back? Would have he been expecting him? Would they treat him as a murderer?

A white-haired woman open the door for him.

"Hello John" she said. She was wearing a robe. John had clearly interrupted their sleep. "The Professor is waiting for you at his office."

He didn´t say hi, he just nodded at her.

John knew exactly which was the office of the Professor. He had had a thousand of physics classes there.

"Hello John" a bald man sitting in a wheel chair said as John entered in the office.

"Hello Professor" John answered back almost in a whisper.

Professor Xavier extended his hand, offering John to sit on one of the many chairs that were in the office waiting for the morning to come and with it another physics class.

John sat, and steared at his hands. He didn´t had the courage to look at the older man. Xavier was just there, sitting, with a sligh smile as if he was waiting for something to happen when he actually wasn´t. His face was, as always, expressionless, except for the smile, as if he was up to something. His telekinesis was good to enter into people´s minds, in this case John´s. Charles didn´t care what John had done, said, seen or heard since he left, for now at least, he only wanted to know why. Why was young Allerdyce back? Why know? He found the answer obviously. He also found the young boy´s fears about the consequences, the disgust he felt about himself, and how much scared he was ´bout coming back to his school. Charles tryed to understand why, and he did.

"John," Xavier said, "If you wanna talk about something, you know my doors will always be opened. You can tell me anything."

"What for? You can enter to my head and make it all much more easier... which I´m pretty sure you just did" John said still looking at his hands, with respect towards the Professor and sadness ´couse now he was pretty sure the Professor knew the reason he was back, and he felt disgusted by himself all over again, and though he tryed to hide it, Xavier knew.

The Professor smiled, "Truth, but that doesn´t mean you can´t tell me what´s on your mind. I promise I won´t peek" he said, with some light humor to make John feel more wellcome.

"I... I´m tire" John finally said, avoiding the subject. He wasn´t ready yet.

"Of course you do" Charles answered. He didn´t want to be too pushy. "Why don´t you go to the kitchen first to grab a bite and then go to your room?"

"Is--?"

"Yes, it´s still your room. Bobby´s still there, still sleaping up in the trundle bed. He refuses to sleep on the lower bed" the Professor said before he could ask.

John got up as he nodded to Xavier and then, from the door frame, after having hesitated once, he turned, looked at the Professor and said, "Thank you... and--"

"It´s ok John, there´s no need."

John nodded again. He didn´t believe he didn´t have to apologise to the old man, but was too tire and too hungry like to argue with the Professor.

Young Allerdyce ate some chicken that had been left over from the dinner and went to his old room.

He opened the door and there it was Bobby, sleeping on the bed above his. John didn´t turn the lights on ´couse that would´ve waken his roomate up and he wasn´t reading to deal with him. Not yet at least. Besides, it was 3.49 in the morning. It had took him 6 days to found the courage to ring the bell of the school, and during that time he had thought what would he say to his friends once, if, he was accepted back in the school. He had prepared this nice speech. But he just wasn´t ready yet. He would be in the morning... at least that was what John hoped.

John left his backpack on the floor and sat on his bed. His backpack wasn´t too heavy, there wan´t many things in it. A few t-shirts and a jean... that was all. He was stearing to the wall in the dark. He looked up, and there was, in that wall, a big sheet cork with many pricked pictures on it. He stood up to take a look at them. There was a picture of Rogue, Bobby and him, taken a few months after Rogue came to the school. A picture of him and Jubelee, when she had had a crush on him... Nothing happened, though. Bobby had tryed to convince him to take her out, but for some reason he hadn´t. She eventually got over it. A few pictures of the girls, Rogue and Jubes, Jubes and Kitty, Rogue, Jubes and Kitty. Aparently the red-haired girl had become close friend of Rogue. Then he saw a picture of Rogue and a black-haired girl, who he had never seen before. She was pretty. And finally a picture of him and Bobby showing off their powers. John had his right hand over Bobby´s right shoulder while Bobby had his left hand over John´s left shoulder, and on their free hands there was a fireball and an iceball. John smiled. Before going to bed, he saw the last picture... a picture of Rogue and Bobby, that probably was taken a month or so. And he smiled again.

John had definetely missed this, missed them.

He took off his jacket and lay on his bed. He fall asleep the moment he touch the pillow.

THE NEXT MORNING

The clock alarm rang at 7.10am and Bobby opened his eyes. He didn´t want to get up but he had to. He took a small tenis ball that was under his pillow and threw it perfectly over the clock. As he couldn´t reach it, since he still sleapt in the higher bed, he had to came up with a system to shut the clock the hell up.

Bobby jumped from his bed, and groaned as his bare feet touched the cold ceramic floor. He was just wearing his underwear and an old black t-shirt. He entered the bathroom, opened the shower and waited for the bathroom to warm a little bit as he brushed his teeth. Someone cleared it´s throat in the room. Bobby found perfectlly normal to hear his roomate clearing his throat in the morning... then he realized he hadn´t had a roomate for 6 months. A new roomate who arrived in the middle of the night? But John´s things were still in place... John.

Bobby opened the bathroom´s door and, now fully awaken and with his tooth brush hanging from his mouth, finally saw his old friend and roomate John, barely awake, stretching on the bed.

"John?" Bobby said not beliving his eyes.

John opened his eyes realizing one of the two most dificult things he would had to do that day was happening. Confronting his best friend Bobby Drake. The other was confronting his other friend, Marie D´Acanto.

John didn´t say anything until he sat up on his bed, "Hey, Bob" he finally said, preapering himself for Bobby´s reaction. Any reaction.

Bobby was just there, stearing at John, not sure if this was a dream or if it was really happening. It felt like real. "What are you doing here?" Bobby asked, not sure if he should trust his old friend.

"I... I came back" John answered, again with the stear in his hands like last night.

"Why?"

"I... I just needed to came back" John said almost in a whisper. He didn´t want Bobby to know the real reason. Was he ashamed? Of course he was ashamed... wouldn´t you be ashamed of tell your best friend, your brother, you killed someone you didn´t even know, that you did it without reason?

"Does the Professor know... that--?"

"Yeah, of course he does" John answered as he stood up, putting his hands in the pockets of his jean. Wow, what an awkward situation. What an awkward silence. Bobby wasn´t moving. John wasn´t moving. The silence filled the entire room and their bodies. Their souls were too quiet.

Then, "You´re back!" Bobby said as he hugged John really tied and smiled with joy.

Pyro was sorprised. He was surely not expecting this reaction after so much silence. But he returned the hug with the same joy.

"Ooohh!" Bobby said after a while letting go of John, "Marie is sooo gonna kick your ass" Both boys smiled. "I´m actually looking fordward to see that."
