Disc-No I don't own them, only Nick, Marie, Tyler, James, Lynx and Shawn.
"Nick…" Ororo was speechless, he had just kissed her, and in all honestly, she didn't hate it.
"Sorry Ororo." Nick's wings opened up and he rose up into the air, flying over to the lake where he was usually found.
"What happened 'Ro? You look shocked." Marie and Rita walked up to Ororo.
"Nick…just kissed me."
"That's great! Did you like it? Where is he now? Is he a good kisser?" the questions from Rita and Marie were near to endless.
"I only heard three of those questions, and he went to the lake, and I'd rather not say the other two." Ororo still looked a little shocked.
"She loved it." Jean came up behind Ororo. "Sorry for entering your mind Ororo, but you left us no choice."
"So go talk to him, he's at the lake, you said it yourself." Rita nudged Ororo to the lake as Ororo finally gave in, walking there on her on free will.

"Nick?" Ororo silently walked up behind the man.
"Yes Ororo?" slowly Nick turned to face the white haired beauty.
"You don't need to apologize."
Nick took a few steps forward until he looked down on her. "Then why do you ignore me?"
"Because, I'm supposed to be the children's mentor and teacher, not going around with guys." Ororo's face was very serious.
"Your scared?" Ororo took a step back when he said that.
"Why do you say that?"
"I can smell it, fear, it's coming off you in waves, and your heart, it's beating faster then normal." Nick didn't move to stand right in front of her again.
Ororo looked down, she had forgotten about his dragon senses. "I'm sorry Nick, I'm not used to this."
Nick stepped forward again, he knew what she wanted. Without a word Nick bent his head down, kissing Ororo.
Silently Ororo started to kiss him back.
"Way to go you two!" Ororo quickly broke away, looking behind her, all the mutants were standing there, Charles was even there, cheering them on.
"Charles…"
"We are all very happy for you Ororo." Charles smiled to her as the boys began whistling while the girls kept telling them to do it again.
Nick just stood there, serious, he had known everyone was there while Ororo was blushing. "We will now leave you too alone." Charles said as everyone left, going back to the mansion to do something.
"Nick, I have a question."
"Yeah Ororo?"
"What's it like to fly without having the wind keep you up?" Ororo looked at Nick, gently touching one of his wings.
"Its fun." Nick picked Ororo up, flying into the air and taking her higher then she would ever be able to go by herself.
Silently Ororo cursed herself, she finally found a guy she liked and she felt like a teenage girl. 'What's it like fly without the wind?' for the first time in her life Ororo didn't know what to say. She was tongue-tied around Nick and would rather ignore him in total, but she was one of the few guys who actually liked her, and thought of her more then just a school teacher.
"Ororo?" Ororo looked up into Nick's face, drawn to his eyes, dragon eyes, they were so different like Remy's, but then again, they were so normal.
"Yes?"
"What have you been thinking about?"
"What do you mean?" Ororo finally took her gaze off his eyes and looked around her, he was still holding her, and they were still in the air, but it was dark, night had fallen and Ororo didn't even notice it.
"I mean, something's distracting you."
"It's nothing Nick, I was just thinking about something, nothing big, have we been out all day?"
"Yeah, we have."
"Oh my! We should get home, people might get worried."
"If you say so." Nick turned around, flying towards the mansion as fast as he could, landing by the lake about 10 minutes later and gently putting Ororo on her feet, by the time they got home it was close to 11.
"Thank you." Ororo unwrapped her arms from Nick's neck, which she didn't even realize had been wrapped around in the first place.
"No problem." Nick smiled to her, his white fangs glistening in the moonlight.
"Coming?" Ororo asked as Nick shook his head no.
"No, I'll stay out here for a while, I don't feel like going in." Ororo nodded and walked back to the institute, going in the doors to find Rita standing there in front of Logan, her hands pressed firmly against his chest.
"No Logan, stay here!" Rita yelled as she heard the door silently close.
"Where have you been? And where is he?" Logan growled, even after a month he didn't trust Nick.
"He's out by the lake, and we've just been flying around." Ororo stood in the foyer, listening to Logan's growls.
"Logan! Stop it now! She's here, she's safe, stop blaming Nick for everything!" Rita yelled, causing Scott and Jean to come downstairs.
"I'm sorry to worry everyone." Ororo silently said as Logan pushed past Rita, going outside.
"Logan!" Rita called, giving Ororo a look of sorry, before running outside after Logan.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
"Would you stop?" Rita grabbed Logan's arm, turning him to face her as he growled. "Stop growling and listen to me! Nick didn't do anything, there wasn't any harm done. Ororo was just out having fun, and everyone deserves that right understand? Now if you don't get back inside, go do something, and forget about Nick I'll divorce you." Rita pressed her lips tightly together as Logan grumbled a few things before walking inside and going upstairs.
Rita sighed as she walked about inside, everyone looked shocked, they couldn't help but hear ever word Rita said. "I cant believe you just said that to him." Jean looked like she was ready to have a heart attack.
"Yeah well, I know what to say to Logan that he wont argue about, and I use it, sometimes he needs to get yelled at like that." Rita shrugged it off and went upstairs, going into her room and finding Logan sitting on their bed, flipping through random channels on their TV.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
"Did you guys do anything?" Jean asked.
"No, we didn't, now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go upstairs." Ororo smiled to Jean and Scott before walking upstairs.

Nick stood by the lake, he had heard everything Rita had said to Logan. Though Nick was glad Rita had stepped in, he wouldn't hide it, he was scared of the man named 'Wolverine'. Nick silently paced back and forth on the edge of the dock, his tail moving back and forth before finally touching the cold water. He sat down, letting the tip of his tail sit in the lake water.
After sitting there for about an hour Nick stood up, walking back to the mansion and going up to his room, quickly falling asleep.

"You have a son?" Magneto's voice rang throughout the metal walls, he just found out about Pietro's son and wasn't taking it very well.
"Uh, yeah, his name is James." Pietro sunk down into the couch as Magneto leaned closer to him. Everyone else was smart, the second Pietro told Magneto why he was late all the time, they all left. Sabretooth went off to have some fun with people, Piotr and Lynx went Lynx's room, and St. John still wasn't allowed back in the house, on Lynx's orders.
"And the mother is who?"
"Um…yeah-the-mother-her-name-is-Amber-I-spent-a-lot-of-time-with-her-to-try-and-make-Rita-mad-but-it-never-worked-and-when-Rita-left-the-school-Amber-got-pregnant." Pietro talked ultra fast this time, hoping his father wouldn't understand, but he did.
"She's human?" Magneto's voice got louder.
"Yeah."
"You know how I feel about humans!" Magneto hated humans ever since his wife died, she had been human and once she died Wanda got out of control and Erik's family just fell apart, then he became the master of magnetism, Magneto.
"I-know-and-I'm-sorry." Pietro's ice blue eyes were clouded with fear of his father as Magneto began to pace back and forth, the metal house shaking with Magneto's anger.
"And where is James now?"
"He's with the X-Men, Rita got to him before me."
"And his powers?"
"The same as mine." Pietro began to relax as the walls stopped shaking.
"Get him away from them." Magneto glared at his son before leaving the room, letting Pietro relax all the way.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
"So how much trouble do you think Pietro is in?" Piotr asked Lynx as they sat on her bed.
"I don't know, but he'll be in trouble for a while, I know that." Lynx grinned as she lay back on the bed.
"He deserves it." Piotr watched Lynx lay back.
"Yeah he does, making us wait all those times, I'm surprised he even had the guts to tell us."
"Same here." Piotr silently laid down next to Lynx, putting his arms around her as they fell asleep.

Nick's eyes opened as he looked around the room, he was sitting up and the whole staff of the institute was standing in his doorway. "What?" Nick asked, looking at them.
"Are you ok Nick? I picked up on some or your more…disturbing thoughts." Charles wheeled past the group, followed by Ororo.
"Stay out of my head." Nick mumbled, barely loud enough for anyone besides Logan to hear.
"I respect your wishes Nick, and I always will, but remember, we are here to help you." Charles gave a reassuring smile to Nick before leaving the room, followed by everyone as Ororo stayed, sitting in a chair next to Nick's bed.
"What was your dream about?" Ororo watched as Nick got out of his bed, going over to look out the window at the lake, it was early in the morning and a bright pink out. Charles thought that since Nick liked the lake so much he should have a room that overlooked it. Ororo took a quick note of Nick's clothes, he had on a pair of black sweat pants, obviously made special for him since his tail was showing. He wasn't wearing a shirt and Ororo looked down when she noticed how well built he was, he apparently worked out a lot.
Silently Ororo stood up and walked over to Nick, putting a hand on his arm as he looked at her. "We're all here to listen."
"I know you are, but Charles was right, my thoughts are quite disturbing." Nick glanced down at her clothes, she wore a lavender V-neck night gown with thin straps. Quickly Nick looked back out the window to the lake.
"Talk to us about them, it's better that way." Ororo softly said, his actions of looking at gown had not gone unnoticed.
"No it's not, it just makes everyone feel sorry for you." Nick looked at Ororo and she gasped, his eyes were so distant, as if he didn't even know where he was or who he was looking at.
"Not around here, we honestly try to help people with there past here."
"Don't waste your time on me Ororo, I cant be helped with my past." Nick's eyes went back to the nice, calm eyes they usually were.
"Why not?"
"Because Ororo, there are too many memories." Nick glanced over at the clock, 5:31 A.M. "You should go back to sleep."
"I'm awake now, I'm not going back to sleep."
"I'm sorry I woke you up." Nick look back at Ororo, looking down into her brown eyes. He was taller then her by about 7 inches, making him 6'3. (A/N: I'm only guessing that Ororo is somewhere around 5'8 or so.)
"It's ok, don't worry about it, but I would still like to help you with your thoughts." Ororo stood on the tips of her feet, gently kissing Nick on the cheek before walking out of his room, closing the door behind her and leaving him by the window.

"Wake up before I call Victor to wake you two up." Magneto stood in Lynx's doorway as she and Piotr sat up.
"What do you want Erik?" Lynx asked, looking in the direction of his voice.
"I think I found a way to give you back your sight…"

A/N: Seriously, if anyone has ideas for a title for a second story that revolves around the teens, Nick and Ororo, tell me.
