Ahhh! The last chapter! ((sob))
X - Angel
Chapter 30
Camelia lay down on her bed resting, when she heard a slight knock at the door. "Come in..." She said over her shoulder, cradling her bad arm. She rolled over onto her back, to see Logan standing in the doorway. They remained in silence for a little while, and Cabbie sat up. "Well are you going to sit down then, or just stand there all day?" She asked, and raised an eyebrow.
Logan gave a nervous smile, and sat down at the end of her bed. "I'll sit..." He said, trying not to meet her gaze.
"What is it you want, another match?" She asked.
Logan looked at her, and smirked. "No,... Xavier sent me up here to get you 'personally'... I think he wants us to try and talk."
"Then why dont we?" Cabbie asked, as she sat herself forward, so as she knelt on the bed behind Logan.
"What do you want me to say?" Logan asked, looking over his shoulder. "Sorry?" He asked a bit more ubrupt.
"No,... thats my line." Cabbie admitted, as Logan turned to look at her, but he didnt say anything. "I missed you... when I talked to Xavier, he said he'd get you to call me." She paused. "But-"
"I never did." Logan finished for her. "I know... I'm sorry."
"No your not..." Cabbie let out a smile. "Your just arrogant." She joked, as she flicked away some of her hair that had fallen infront of her face.
"Yeah, thanks." Logan rolled his eyes.
"Quit's?" Cabbie asked holding out her good hand, for Logan to shake it. He made no guesture with it, and Cabbie placed it back down by her side, to be met with Logan gently pushing her down on the bed, with that same mischevious glint in his eye.
Meanwhile, Piper and Warren were walking down the hall inbetween Lesson's. "So your up for going out tonight?" Warren asked.
"Yeah that should be alright... I'll have to try not to wake Paige and Jubilee up though." She smirked, and then all of a sudden she buckled over, placing her hand to her forehead dropping the books she had in her hand.
"Piper? What's wrong?" Warren asked, helping her stand up right.
"Urgh!" She shuddered, flicking her hands from infront of her face, but letting out a slight giggle.
"What?" Warren asked, with a slight smile, as Piper cheek's began to brighten red.
"The downside to having visions... some things, you just dont want to see, like Logan and Cabbie... Eww!" She tried to shake the thought out of her head, cringing, and laughing all at the same time. "I warn you, 'do not' go up there!" She joked, as she knelt down to pick up her book's.
"Aww,..." Warren commented, helping Piper pick up her belongings. "You'll survive I'm sure."
Piper gave him a doubtfull look. "Chest hair...?" She shuddered again, and laughed.
"Okay, enough of that - your going to give 'me' nightmares." Warren commented, as they began walking towards the elevator.
"Lucky for some, you didnt see it." She gave him a sideway's glance.
"Up on the roof at Midnight?" He whispered into her ear, as they approached the Metal door's. Piper nodded, biting her lip, as the doors opened before them.
Later in the evening, it was nearing Midnight. Piper lay in her bed, trying to stay awake amongst all of the silence around her. Paige, and Jubillee, were both fast asleep. The Alarm on Piper's watch began to Beeb, and quickly silencing the gadget, she slowly crawled out from her bed fully, clothed, and pulled on her Ballet shoe's from which Logan had given her.
She climbed up onto the desk infront of one of the large window's, and slowly pulled up the latch. It made a squeeking noise, and immediatly she froze her action's, watching her sleeping roomates, who didnt even stir. Pushing the window open as far as it would go, Piper pulled herself up onto the wall above her bed, and slid her way around the corner, onto the outside wall, peforming, a horizontal, forward roll, out the window. She lightly hopped her way up the wall, untill she came to the roof.
She pushed herself over the top wall, of the Mansion roof, where a small Lantern sat on a Blanket, sitting next to a picnic basket. Walking over to it, she glanced around her surroundings. She was alone, and took time to admire the effort Warren had made.
"Boo..." Came a voice, as two hands were placed over her eyes.
Piper pulled the hands down, and turned around. "Boo, back." She smiled, and placed a kiss upon Warren's lips.
"Do you like it?" He asked, walking her over to the blanket.
"I love it..." She smiled, sitting down beside him.
The next day, Cabbie and Logan sat at the breakfast table, when Ororo appeared. "Camelia, the Professor would like to have a word with you... Logan, you can go too if you want." She said.
"Okay..." Camelia said, wiping her mouth, and getting to her feet. "You coming?" She asked Logan.
"Sure, why not." Logan shrugged, and took one last bite of his toast, and left with the white haired History teacher.
"Now Camelia, as it seems that you will be staying at the institute for the foreseable future..." Xavier started.
"What can I do, to earn my keep..?" She suggested, raising her eyebrow's..
"Yes." Xavier smiled. "Have you any idea's what subjects you would be able to teach?"
Camelia had no idea, and sat in silence for a minute or so. "Why not Physical Education?" Logan spoke up.
"But thats your subject." Cabbie replied, turning to look at him.
"No, I believe Logan has a point..." Xavier added. "You are reasonably fit, due to your Modelling career. Plus it would make it easier on the female students, to have a female teacher."
Cabbie smiled. "I suppose,... but would they want me as one?" She asked.
"I think it sounds like a good idea." Jean replied, who was sitting in the corner of the room, unknown to Cabbie. Logan however, had known she was there as soon as they had entered the room from smelling her perfume. "And if your not too compfortable with that, then I'm sure we can work something else out." She suggested.
Cabbie shrugged. "Okay,... I'll see what I can do." She smiled.
So it was, that Cabbie became a teacher at the institute, becoming good friends with Emma Frost, accompanying her on many visit's around the states, and the world. It was, in a few year's to come that herself and Logan broke up where she left once more, and moved to London to become a secretary for the Fantastic Four, aswell as a member to Generation X, from which Emma Frost was solely incharge of. But not before promising to Logan that someday, she will be back.
The End
Was it good for you too?
