No, that's just perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the Universe has that.

^*^*^^**^^*^*^**Meticulous Mystiny^*^*^*^**^*^^*^*

Magneto: I fail to see the meticulity in this.
Beck: 'Meticulity' is not a word.

Magneto: It is now! When mutants rule the world, all shall know the meaning of meticulity!

Dexroth:…What are you on?

Beck: They have counseling for people like you now. Lady Miz has never lost a patient.

Dexroth: *under his breath* Has she ever HAD a patient?

Beck: Not my problem, I'm getting a split in the profits.

^*^*^*^***^^*^**^^*^*^*

It was a secret relationship at best. At worst, it was nonexistent.

*^*^^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^^**^*^^**^*^

Pietro: What times are better times?

Lance: When they forget the existence of each other.

Fred: Wouldn't the worse relationships be nonexistent? I always thought a relationship had to be built on love.

Todd: That's right! My relationship with Wanda is built on love.

Lance: What relationship? You don't have one!

^**^^*^**^*^^**^*^^**^^*^

They had always been best friends. It was just a step beyond.

*^*^^*^**^**^^*^*^*^*

Forge: I'm glad I got here in time!

Dexroth: I found you running around in your boxers in a field. It took me thirty minutes just to get you coherent again.

Beck: Leave the chitchat, I want George to be his original size again.

Forge: All you have to do is find the agent and then fuse it with something—

Dexroth:…Will you just shut-up and do what the lady says?
Forge: *sulk* No one wants to hear of my brilliance.

^*^**^^**^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^^*^**^

They had adopted a child, partly to show their love to each other.

*^^*^***^*^^*^*^**^*^^*^******

Rogue: Partly to torture it foh evah.

Destiny: I should have forseen this coupling would happen. I will simply have to get Magneto to destroy the authoress. I can do it with a little manipulation.

Sabretooth: What? Going to tell him his future depends on it? It's too late, he's been trying to take her on for awhile.

Mystique: Actually he's been fooling around with those reviewers. Though I bet if you take away the muse you can take out the authoress.

Beck: Who has been listening to you three the entire time. Can't you plot somewhere where you won't block the light on my computer screen?

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^**^^**^

Mystique. Raven Darkholme.

*^*^*^^*^**^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*

Pietro: It's like James Bond…but not.

*^*^*^^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Destiny. Irene.

^*^**^^**^*^*^*^^*^*^**^*^

Ray: Apparently Irene doesn't have a last name.

Beck: *mutters something about saving space*

Roberto: She must have forgotten it.

Beck: Forge, do you have George back to his original size?

Forge: Yes! All I needed was one of Kitty's muffins and some motor oil!

Beck:…Did you kill George?
Forge: No…he's going to have a stomach ache for a while though…

*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^**^*^*^*^**^*^^**^

They were loves unknown to the world.

^**^^**^^**^^**^*^*^*^*^

Sam: Until now.

Jubilee: I'm thinking that love could have stayed unknown.

^**^^*^*^**^^*^*^*^*^^**^^*^*^

Mystique walked the cold streets, miles away from that summer retreat. Miles away from her true love.

^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^^*^**^^*^**^

Amara: And if there is any luck in the world, it will stay that way for the rest of the story.

*^*^*^*^*^**^*^^*^*^**^

But she never forgot her Irene.

*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^**^*^^**^^*

Scott: Kind of hard to forget something like THAT.

Jean: It just makes me shudder thinking about it.

Destiny: That's nothing. Remember, I can see stories about myself that haven't been written yet.

Dexroth: Future not pretty?

Destiny: No.

^*^**^*^**^^**^*^^*^**^^*^*^**^*^^^**

Rogue never knew.

*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*

Rahne: But we suspect she suspected.

Sam: But does she suspect that we suspect that she suspects?

Rahne: No I don't think she suspects that we suspect that she suspects.

Sam: I suspected as much.

*^*^*^^**^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^

And that was probably for the best.


*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^^**^*^*^*^^**^^*

Bobby: Just a thought, they didn't KNOW it was for the best.

Jubilee: Do we ever truly know these things?

Bobby: In their case…yes.

Doggy: Wooof.

^*^**^*^^**^*^*^*^^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Destiny sat in front of the fire, contemplating her love as well.

*^^**^*^*^*^*^***^^**^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^**^

Ray: Wow, this story just kind of bounces around, doesn't it?

Kurt: Mother, schwister, Destiny.

Ray: Wouldn't she be like, your stepmom?

Kurt: I hope not, I have enough relatives already.

^*^*^*^*^**^^**^Y*^*^*^*^^*^**^*^*^

"I love you Mystique." She told the fire.

^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*

Roberto: Short contemplation.

Sam: Why'd she tell the fire?

Jubilee: Maybe she thought the fire would end her misery.

Destiny: Keep in mind that I can see your futures, you little brats.

*^**^^**^*^^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^**^^***^

And even though there was no reply, she knew Mystique loved her too.'

^**^**^*^^*^***^^*^**^^*^*

Destiny: I can see your future as well!

Dexroth: That's a relief. At least I have a future this time.

Beck:…Remind me to ask you to elaborate on that sometime.

Dexroth: Gladly. I went to a fortuneteller once and she told me I didn't have a future.

Beck: Think she was just being mean?

Dexroth: No, I think she was trying to be brutally honest.

Destiny: I'm still here!

Dexroth: So you are. Do you need to be shown out?

Destiny: Aren't you the slightest bit curious about what your future holds?

Dexroth: Not really, I'm having way too much fun enjoying the present.

Beck: Forge! Give me back those magical muffins! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EXPERIMENT ON THEM!

Forge: It's for the good of science!

Beck: It'll be for the good of your butt to give me those muffins! I will not have another oversized George! You already made him sick!

George: *sswiuddquiiiisheeerrrfef*

Dexroth: See what I mean?

Destiny: Perhaps I should rethink my career.

Beck: Oh wow! Look at the outside of my house, it's actually shining!

^*^*^^*^**^^**^^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^**^*^*^*

Wow, another chapter. It's all good. What is this, Mystique's third chapter in a row?
