Title: Maybe
Author: Viral
Author's Notes: This story was originally written almost two years ago as a Colossus/Kitty fiction. However, because of the lack of creativity on my part, I will use it to start a Kurt/Ororo fiction.

Colossus narrates:
I looked at Ororo, awaiting her answer to the question that haunted me every day and night. I was wearing nothing special. Just the usual things I would be clad while working on my family's farm back in Russia. A wife- beater, as it was called, a pair of blue jeans, and brown working boots.
"Piotr," Ororo began to speak after a moment of complete silence, "I think you should believe and follow your instincts. If you love Kitty then why would you still hold these affections for me?"
"But Storm, we've spent so many years together. I know for a fact that you love me the same way I love you," he said in his thick Russian accent, rolling his r's and changing his facial expression with every syllable. "So, why are you denying me?"
"My dear Piotr, you are in a lovely relationship with Katherine. For myself, it is a shame that I can never find one true love. I believe I have been cursed from the womb. I can love someone for a year and then everything is ruined. But you and Katherine share a lovely bond that I do not wish to break." I watched as she rose from her spot in the chair.
We were in the attic, in her self-made garden that she tended to. The attic was about the most peaceful place in the mansion, and I could always talk to Ororo there. She would always listen and always could reason out a resolution any problems I had. She deserved to be loved.
The only reason I was questioning my love for Kitty, was because I had not had any contact with her. I lost affection for her. But I had been with Ororo throughout the whole mission. We talked and bonded like never before and I fell in love with her. But my fear that her affection for me was not as strong as mine for her began to overwhelm me.
I feared that Ororo was just showing me the compassion that she showed everyone else: the same compassion that she was so greatly known for. It was the type of compassion that allowed her to seal the fury of nature that lived inside her. The kind that dwindled in her body and only wanted to be released fully, but her love did not allow it to hurt anyone, and she kept it suppressed. I believe this was the type of compassion she showed me, and not the type of love that I felt for her. I was losing my thoughts and constant contemplations of Kitty as I begin to fall for Ororo.
"Piotr, what are you supposing?" Ororo suddenly question through the silence that broke my train of thought. She was watering her plants, but without a pail or other source of water. She had control over the weather, so she was able to bring the moisture in the air together to make little clouds that drizzled on the plants. The ceiling to the attic was made of glass so the plants had enough sunlight. The only problem with the glass ceiling and full-length windows was at certain times the attic would be unbearably hot, but that didn't bother her at all; she was immune to the heat and cold.
"I am just thinking about what you told me. Do you think I should go after my Katya?"
"Well, my beloved Piotr, I believe that someone is on the roof to help you figure that out." Part of the attic went up to the roof, where the glass ceiling was arched. There was a glass door that led from the attic and onto the roof as well, and through it, I could see young brunette standing and looking over the edge.
Standing up, I walked to Ororo and gave her a hug, "Thank you Storm... I don't know how I can repay you."
"Believe me Piotr, you already have," she smiled at me with her quiet words, so low that I couldn't even hear them. "But to you, I will I always be Storm, never Ororo."
Walking out of the door I suppose Kitty heard my footsteps, so she turned around. "Oh my gosh! You're back!" she screeched at the top of her lungs. "Nobody told me you were back from the mission!"
She jumped on top of me, planting kisses all over my face. Her brown-tinted hair swished in any and every direction as she expressed her happiness to see me.
I wasn't as cheerful as she was, of course. I had almost left her-cheated on her, when all she had done was stayed faithful to me.
"Russkie... what's wrong?"
I didn't answer; I couldn't answer. I couldn't even stand to look at her if I wasn't going to tell her the truth. When I had finally built up enough courage to tell her everything, I saw something on the horizon that caused a horrified expression to come over my face. "That!" I yelled pointing the tree line. Somebody's body flew out of the forest like a baseball bat hit it.
"Oh my goodness!" she said, almost losing her breath. "That looks like Remy!"
"Are you sure Katya?"
"Yeah I'm sure..." she then paused as we both noticed who was coming out of the bushes, "And Creed!"
"Mother Russia! What are we going to do?" I yelled, looking at the scene as Remy's body was tossed about. "Go inside the attic and get Storm, Colossus will take care of this!"
My body began to change from its normal coating of skin and into a organic steel-like metal. The sun's light reflected off of it and it glistened spectacularly. This was my mutation: the metal protection, which enhanced my height and took my strength to a superhuman level. With the metal on I was practically indestructible, unless someone who had electrical abilities used me as a conductor, or someone had mental powers to attack my mind, or unless I ran into the occasional Magneto.
In any case, after the transformation was completed I jumped off of the roof and down onto the mansion lawn. I left a large hole in the ground after landing. I quickly climbed and ran over to where Creed was throwing Remy's body into a tree.
"Why do you fight little man? Fight Colossus!" I said as I neared the forest line where they were.
"I'm not here to fight anyone but Logan! Where is he?" Sabretooth growled, his fangs gritting his bottom teeth as he scowled at me.
"To get to Logan, you must go through me!" I said with confidence, even though I knew Logan wasn't in the mansion.
"I wonder if you're recyclable..." was his sarcastic remark before he bum- rushed me with his shoulder, using his weight to make me loose my balance. I remained unstable for a moment, but I didn't fall.
"It takes more than that to defeat Colossus!" I yelled after regaining balance. I ran towards Sabretooth, as he was called. For the most part I believe he was named for his feline looks, the result of physical mutation, and not necessarily his special abilities. His face was extremely hairy, his hands daunted with sharp claws, and animal-like teeth in this mouth. His eyes were like that of a cat, and his height was most certainly more enhanced than mine.
Sabretooth was a long term enemy with Wolverine and but much smarter. He worked more with his brain than with rage and was able to get his enemy psyched up while he went for an attack. But that wouldn't work with me. Still running towards Sabretooth my metal covering glimmered in the sun, and I rammed my shoulder into his stomach, sending him flying into a tree. The effects of my attack were not at all long lasting, due to Sabretooth's healing factor. "Idiot," he slyly said as he got up from his dent inside the tree's bark.
"What you say about Colossus? What have I done wrong to you?" I asked, switching from third to first person as usual.
"You got in my way!" he growled as he jumped from the tree and yelled his reply to my question. He ran towards me with his claws aimed for my chest. With the extra weight of my organic metal my mobility was completely diminished. I couldn't move fast enough to evade his attack. His claws scarred the metal and I could feel the pinch of it as he dug deeper. His large hand wrapped around my neck while he lifted my body in the air. Thrusting me aside into a tree, like I had done him, Sabretooth snickered as my head jerked back and forth. Hitting my head a number of times I received a serious migraine and could hardly think straight.
"Ugh.." I groaned a number of times, from the pain.
Watching through squinted eyes I saw Sabretooth coming towards me with anger and annoyance written all over his face. "I'm gonna get rid of you right now!" he said as he now gloomed over me. Then from behind Sabretooth's back I saw a small beam of moving light that collided into his back emitting a small explosion behind him.
I watched as he fell to the ground in front of me. Wondering where the attack had come from, I looked to see Gambit weakly peering at Sabretooth's fallen body. He had regained enough strength to throw a kinetically charged playing card at Creed. I watched as Gambit stationed himself up on one knee and then my eyes widened when Creed stood back up. Looking at Gambit he growled, "Blast you!"
Then another voice -- one familiar. A voice of a woman, "I believe that pleasure is mine!" and from the sky there was a string of jumping electricity. I could feel the static electricity move through the air as the lightning began to come down from it's sanctuary in the sky. Jumping from electron to electron the heated electricity formed by nature... or rather by Storm, connected with Sabretooth's body, both burning him and electricuting him severely. It would take him a while to heal from that.
I looked in the sky to try and locate Storm, but she was nowhere to be found. Only her voice when she had spoke before and recent lightning.
"Oh my gosh! Peter..." Kitty said running towards me jumping over both Remy, who was recovering, and Sabretooth who was out cold -- or rather out hot from the burning lightning. Once she reached me I transformed back to my normal self, my normal tanned flesh showing.
"Katya, I'm ok."
"No you're not... oh no, you're bleeding!"
"It's just a little patch of blood. I'm ok."
"Oh Peter, if anything happens to you I don't know what I'll do."
"Why do you love Colossus so much?" I asked, begging for an answer.
"Just because..."
"But Katya, how can you trust me? How do you know I have been faithful to you?"
"Of course I've do. Ororo doesn't keep any secrets from the ones that she loves. I honor her for that..."
"But."
"But nothing. You made the right decision to talk to her about it. And the good thing is that nothing physical happened between you two. I see nothing wrong with two of my loved ones being friends." She paused, thinking things over. She could understand how easy it was for him to fall for Ororo. Ororo and I had been on a logn mission together, and I hadn't talked to Kitty for weeks. But now that we were back together, I felt what I had been missing. "As long as I remain the first love in your life, like you are in mine, that's all that matters."
"This is like some strange soap opera mon ami..." I heard Gambit say with sarcasm from his spot on the ground.
"Gambit, you are so nosey," Ororo said as she finally came into sight, "But you need to rest, while I figure out what to do with Creed." I watched as Ororo's sad eyes look over to Kitty and me as we held each other. She didn't watch for long. She helped Gambit into the mansion and put Sabretooth in a containment cell where he would stay until Xavier's return. I caught sight of Ororo's sad eyes one more time before she entered the mansion. She was truly alone.
