jadestar123: Thanks, and I know what you mean, that's why I write sequels.
You get to add on to previous stories and you don't have to set up
everything in the story again, just the new stuff.
yae yang: Tom boy doesn't do them justice...trust me. (yes them, I'm changing a new character a little so there will be two)
Red Witch: That transparent huh?
BLINK'S NEW LIFE
CHAPTER 9: GUARDIANSHIP
Xavier moved closer to Ororo. "What is it you wish to ask me?"
Ororo was a little nervous this was a huge decision for her, but it also felt right somehow. "Charles...you already are the legal guardian of Scott, Ray, and Rogue. Not to mention the parents or guardians of the others trust you with them too."
"I sense this is going somewhere." Charles said calmly and was interested in what she was going to ask, even though he had an idea already.
"I was wondering if...if I could be the child's guardian." Ororo said to him. Her nervousness died down a little when she saw him smile at her.
"Well I have noticed that you two do seem to have a bond growing, and I can tell she admires you somewhat and feels at ease around you." Then he got a little serious. "This is a big step Ororo, and not an easy one of that I can assure you."
Ororo nodded her head. "I know Charles, but I'm enjoying the time I spend with her, and she is such a sweet child, and deserves to have a good life here. And I want to make sure she does."
Xavier nodded his understanding. "Well I was going to sigh these, but when she returns with the others I think it best to let her decide, although I'm confident that she would love the idea of you looking after her."
Ororo smiled at his confidence. She left the room in high spirits, and ran into Logan leaning against the wall next to the door outside. "You sure you want to do this Ro?"
"Logan where you listening in?" She stared at him.
He held up a hand in defense. "Nothing personal but with my ears I don't miss much...he's right though, this is a big step."
"I'm sure I can handle things Logan."
He grinned at her. "Of that I have no doubt, just wanted to make sure you really wanted this. Besides I think you'll be a great mama to the girl, you already are to some of the kids." With that he walked off leaving Ororo behind.
She however didn't know whether to be glad of his support or insulted by his insinuation that she was a mother hen. Either way it did clear up a few doubts she had. She knew she could do this, and now she had to talk to Clarice about it.

A few hours later the group came back, they had dropped off Amy and Pam at their houses since their families expected them home at the current time.
Clarice nearly bounced out of the van, not only from the good day she was having. "Well someone looks happy." Amada said to the others with a smile on her face.
Blink heard this and blushed a little from her actions. "Sorry...it's just- this has been a really great day. In fact I haven't had a day like this in a long time."
Vincent flashed that good-natured grin of his at her. "Completely understandable. Believe me I know how it's like to finally have a good day after such a rotten time in your life."
Blink looked a little confused at him. "You do?"
Vincent lost his grin and his face fell a little. He looked to the others and they realized the same thing he must have. "So no one had told you?" Blink shook her head. "Well...someone will, I personally don't want to talk about it, but if anyone else does I don't mind."
He walked off from the others looking rather down. "Did I say something wrong?" Blink asked the others. Rogue stepped up to her. "No ya didn't. It's just that...he's got a few thangs in his past he doesn't lahke to talk about, it hurts too much."
"But you all know?" Everyone nodded their heads. "Oh."
"Don't worry if he doesn't tell ya, someone will, but it's not a pretty story." Rogue said to the girl. Blink left it at that and everyone entered through the front door. She was going to go her room when Logan stepped up to her.
"Ororo has something to talk to ya about, I think she's in the green house." Blink didn't know what she wanted to talk to but made her way there. She would have used a portal, but she was still learning the structure of the mansion.
Although with Kurt and Amanda's help she had learned of a few 'safe' places to pop in, she still occasionally got to someplace else, than her destination. So she walked instead. When she got there Ororo was already sitting there waiting for her.
Blink sat down next to her unsure of what was going on. Ororo actually looked a little nervous to her and it was really starting to play havoc with her nerves. "Clarice there is something I wanted to ask of you." She started. Blink nodded her head to continue.
"As you know several of the students here are either here by their parents or guardian's permission. There are those also that have no other family or their families have abandoned them, like you and Ray.
Blink nodded her head. It still hurt because of what her parents had did, she had heard some of what Ray had gone through also.
"Clarice, usually Xavier is the legal guardian of the child, but...if you want it...I would like to be your guardian if you will."
Blink looked up in surprise. She didn't know what to say. She really looked up to Ororo and liked being with her and if she could chose anyone it would be her. Blink smiled up at the lady. "Yes...I would like that."
Ororo smiled back at her and Blink couldn't help feel like this new place had just felt a little more like home that day. She didn't know why but she hugged Ororo, and it felt good when she hugged her back.
Blink felt loved for the first time in such a long time. Even when she was with her parents they weren't exactly 'close' as most families seemed, and right now she actually felt closer to Ororo then she had felt with her mother in a long time.
She felt like she actually mattered and that her life wasn't so bad anymore. She had friends, a new home, a new life and now she had someone who wanted to take care of her.
Blink couldn't have been more happier at that moment in her life.
