Quest to the Past
Author: Illussen
Chapter 1: Regrets
How I promised, new story. It doesn't have the best title, told I have problems with this section, but I hope that the content will satisfy you.
Okay, I only say this at the beginning of the story (It's really annoying to repeat it in every chapter): X-Men © to Marvel, Anna, Dean and Mina © to me.
An annoying jerking woke up Anna from her peaceful sleeping.
"What?" she asked looking around confused. First thing, she was in Dean's arms, second thing, Rogue was jerking her with a smile on her face.
"Come on, love birds, wake up." she said. Dean woke up too and looked as well confused around. Anna got up rapidly at the hearing of those words and grabbed Rogue's hands.
"Good thing y're recuperating, else you'd be beaten up." she said playfully. Rogue laughed. "Which leads to the question: what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the hospital wing, healing."
"Ah'm feeling so much better. Hank made me last night a transfusion with Logan's blood. So Ah decided to come and look for mah friend that hasn't visited me as I asked her." she answered.
"I wanted to but I had a little accident." Dean coughed.
"I'm going to the kitchen if someone asks." he said and left. Both girls watched him then looked one at each other.
"Now that he's gone, tell me, what where ya doing in his arms sleeping. Are ya two into something?" Rogue asked a little concerned.
"Y're crazy. I fell asleep and accidentally ended up in his arms." she lied.
"Accidentally ended up in his arms? What do ya think Ah am? Stupid? Tell ya something, Anna, ya lie badly this morning. Now tell me the truth." Anna rolled her eyes.
"Fine. I came to see y'but he woke up and we had a really big fight. I stormed out of the Institute directly into a bar and he came after me to ask me to forgive me. I said no, and then began to cry, mostly because I was in one of those crises of depression, and he tried to comfort me telling me why he is here. So I just realized that our stories are so alike and I told him my story and of course with more tears. And he took me in his arms, to comfort me, and I accepted because I was a little drunk and I really needed someone to cry on and we fell asleep. Satisfied?" Rogue's eyes were widened.
"How can ya talk so fast?" she asked then began to laugh.
"Y're hopeless." Anna said and poked her.
Two more weeks passed as Anna began to warm up once again to the habitants of the Institute. For a moment she forgot that every time when things seemed to settle down, something will turn her life upside down. She lived the moment even if it was simple. For the first time since her arrival at the Institute she saw them as a family. A big and happy family. But nobody prepared her for what was about to happen. A nice and hot summer day. Next to the pool with Rogue, Ororo, Logan and Dean. To be more exactly, staying on the edge of the pool making fun of Rogue that had been pushed by Logan into the pool. Suddenly she felt a hand on her back. Turn around, see Dean, foot slips, grab Dean and yell as you fell into the pool. That's the scenery. The same arms that pushed her helped her get above the water. For a moment she caught his eyes and forgot to look away from them. In that moment, she realized that she liked him. More than liked him. She couldn't tell if it was love because she never loved someone. Laughs interrupted her as she closed her eyes then reopened them.
"Ha, ha, very funny." she said splashing Rogue.
"Rogue, would y'bring that water today. I'm dehydrating here, y'know!" Anna yelled from the rec room.
"Guess who's back!" a voice in the back said. She turned around to see Mina smiling.
"Hey, stranger!" she said and got up to hug her. "Finally thought to come back?"
"Yep." Mina answered. "How are things here?"
"As always. Why haven't announced your arrival?"
"Why to bother? You know, you should have come. Mother and father want to see you so bad..."
"Hot yet. I'm not ready to see anyone that I used to call family."
"I understand. But still..." Dean appeared in the doorway.
"Anna, Rogue says that you- Mina!" he said surprised.
"Hi!" she said and jumped in his arms kissing him. Anna turned her head.
"Get a room." she added and left to the kitchen to see what Rogue wants. A wave of sadness overwhelmed her. It was love, now she knew it, but it was love for the wrong person.
Anna yawned as she passed the hallways to her room later that day. Suddenly a door opened and a hand grabbed hers pulling her in.
"Mina, for god's sake, are y'tryin' to give me a heart attack?" she asked.
"Shh, I have business with you." Mina answered.
"Can't it wait until tomorrow? I'm soooo tired." Anna yawned again.
"No. I need your advice and I need it this night."
"Okay, okay. What do y'want my advice for?"
"For..." Mina said suggestively. Anna raised an eyebrow.
"For?" She had a pretty good idea about what just hoped that she would be wrong.
"For you know what!"
"Sex..." Anna said. Mina nodded. "What do y'want to know?"
"How do I do it?"
"There aren't some strict steps that y'have to follow. Y'just know there and then." Anna answered. "But first, I have to ask you. Are y'ready?" Mina hesitated.
"I think so."
"Y're virgin?" Anna asked. Mina nodded. "Then think, and think well, is he the one that deserves this privilege?"
"I love Dean. I'm ready to do this with him. He probably wants to do it just as much as I want." Anna looked concerned.
"Did he ask y'to do it?"
"No! I want to do it."
"Fine. I believe you. But if he did he doesn't deserves you." Anna added. Mina sighed.
"Anna, I want to do it, he didn't even mention it."
"Okay, anything else to know?" she asked trying to be relaxed. She hoped that Mina would say no because she didn't know how much longer she could pretend.
"Yeah, one more thing. How do I know if he wants it?"
"My dear, we're talking about a man here, he always wants it." Mina smiled nervous. Anna rose from the bed and headed for the door. At the door she stopped and turned around. "And don't forget protection. Y'don't need a baby right now." she said.
"Yes, I know. Oh, Anna!" Anna turned again. "Please let me go!" "Can I ask you one more thing?" Anna nodded. "How was your first time?" "This is one question that I haven't expected." Anna half smiled.
"Good." And with that she left.
