Disclaimer: You guys know the drill. I don't know why I put these on every chapter, but I do. No, I don't own the X-men or any of their counter parts. Yes, I do own Eli, Nicoli, Nic's mom, and Dimitri. I also own the love I hold for them in my heart.—Jaz
Eli hugged Nicoli tightly when she reached the small house in Russia. Her boyfriend's arms found their place beneath her long wings.
"Lizi…" he sobbed.
"Yeah, I'm here…I'm sorry that I wasn't here earlier…" She released him. "How's your mother?"
"Not good. Lizi... I'm scared."
"It's gonna be alright, Nicky. I'm gonna go talk to your mother."
"She's with Piotr in the house right now. They'll both be glad to see you."
Elizabeth nodded and walked into the small house, smiling when she saw Piotr Rasputin and Lillibet Jones talking together. Lillibet was still crying, Piotr was trying to comforter in his familiar voice.
"Lillibet," Elizabeth said. "Hi…"
The dark haired woman turned to her. "Elizabeth. You came… Little Nicky was hoping you would."
"Of course I did. I had to be sure you were alright. Is there anything I can do?"
"No." She sighed. "Just take good care of my Nicky."
"Take good care of him?"
"He didn't tell you?" Lillibet looked astounded.
"Tell me what?"
"That I'm moving to America," Nicoli answered for his mother, walking in. "I meant to tell you earlier. Professor Xavier and I are trying to work out living conditions, or maybe I can get an apartment and you could move in…"
"Move in? Nicoli…isn't it a little soon?"
"I don't know, Liz. But…after the funeral, let's do it. Create a new life for ourselves…together. Like we both want."
Liz nodded. "Fine, alright." She smiled a bit. "But first, let's get through this ordeal."
Can you say random chapter of the year award? Anyways, please review!--Jaz
