Here's a new story. This one deals more with Alex and Morgana. Miss the
reviews, but oh, well. We're not done, so the stories are gonna keep on a
coming. Again this is The Four Minds if you've forgot who we were.
Title: Healing Begins
Summary: Alex goes off to Boston without the Pack. Morgana decides to follow. Note: This may just be a few weeks that Q/M have been separate, but it's been months for Wolfsong. And they're her couple. Also the story has aspects of Morgana's past that can be found in more detail in 'Life Happens'. Enjoy!
Morgana sat in the middle of her bed, Winter Moon beside her, jewelry box in front, contents spilled. A few small necklaces, the really nice one from Gabby's dance, a couple pairs of earrings Illya and Shadow and some others gave her for Christmas lay thereon. The Christmas gift from Alex, a beautiful ruby pendant necklace was included. And the ring. Some nights she would take it out, run it through her fingers feeling the coolness of the stone and gold. His name and date were on it engraved. The color of the stone, she knew, was his birth stone. The symbol a mascot from high school. His football number. Times like this, when she felt sadden, she could run to Alex, find comfort in the simple way he touched her. Now she had lost him too.
It hadn't helped that while they were stuck in another's past they had been stuck together. That after they had come back he had went from talking to her, to not even looking at her. He had gotten two private calls this week. One he talked to Logan and the professor about. The other; no one. But it appeared that he was going to go somewhere, without the Pack.
She slipped the ring off, put all of the contents back into the box, and left her room. The end of the light floral dress billowed behind her as she went down the stairs towards the garage, Moon running in front of her. He was inside, putting the small carrisack she had made him onto the bike. Slowly, she walked up.
"Going somewhere?" she asked, her voice soft. He didn't turn around, but heard a note in her voice.
"Only for a day of two. I need to go to Boston."
"Why?" she asked leaning against one of Scott's cars, the wolf sitting by her leg.
"I've got business back there. Something just came up."
"Considering we kind of left in a rush," she mumbled. He laughed. "When are you coming back?" He didn't answer. "You are coming back, right Alex?"
"Let's just say I mean to. Make sure the professor gets this," he handed her an envelope. "I meant to give it to him, but forgot to stop at his office. You mind?" "No. No problem. What's in it?" She had to try.
"Just something personal. It needs to get to him, Morgana."
"Sure. I guess...we'll see you in a few days then."
"Hopefully," he said, but before she could question he put on his helmet and rode off. She just stood there, envelope in hand, a tear in her eye. She made a motion to move and Moon looked up at her, licking her palm. "I know, honey. I'm worried too." She left the garage to deliver his request.
He had lied when he said it would be a day or two. He didn't know how long he would be staying. He started off early, had everything planned out. He would make it in time. He had to. So he rode on. At least he had gotten to see her before leaving.
She entered at the beckon. "Alex asked me to give you this. Said he forgot to swing by."
"Thank you, Morgana. I was expecting this. Have a seat." He said taking the envelope. He wasn't going to tell either.
"Professor, did you know he just left?"
"Yes. He'll be gone a few days."
"Do you know where he's going?"
"No. But he has his reasons, I suppose. I don't like to pry, you know."
"Yes." she shook her head. "Well, I'm going to go get breakfast."
"Have a good day, Morgana." She left then. "Bye, Moon," he called after.
She headed down to the kitchen, finding Dodger and Shadow, and Saber and Hunter there, already eating. Some of X-men littered the room as well.
"Hey," was all she said to anyone as she grabbed a banana from the fruit bowl.
"Are you okay, sweetie?" Illya asked kindly, moving beside her.
"I don't know. Yeah. No. Maybe."
"Oh, honey," Saber said hugging her friend. The others just watched on. "Alex just left for somewhere." She wiped a tear on her wrist. "I...He don't know when he'll be back. Nor does the professor."
"Did he take his stuff?" Shadow asked, then received an elbow to the ribs from Dodger, who said, "Did he take much with him?"
"A small carrisack. But he's got money, so he'd just buy new clothes."
"Don't sound so down, carid," Sean said sweetly.
"Guys, thanks for the comfort. I think I want to go back to bed," she said then left. She headed like she was going towards her room, but headed towards the garage. "He told me where he was going, Moon. And he didn't tell anyone else."
After she had left, the others just stared at each other. "Anyone else feel the slightest bit sorry for her?" Shadow asked still rubbing her side.
"I think we all do, Shadow," Sean said. Dodger got up and walked away, telling no one where he was going. Quietly he slipped into the garage. Using his invisibility he snuck up on her though he was wearing loose jeans. "Need some help?"
"Darian, you scared the crap out of me," she spun around.
"Sorry. Thought you could use a hand."
"I can't seem to figure out how the get Moon on."
"How about a papoose?"
"Wrong tribe, but good idea. Can you help me?"
"Sure. But why not take a car?"
"Keep a secret. I can't drive."
"But you can ride?" he laughed.
"Yes, I can ride. My first boyfriend had a Harley, and taught me." Dodger hoisted Moon onto her back.
"There. Here," he said handing her the keys to his bike. "Take mine. Just be careful." The light British accent voiced.
"Thank you." She placed a kiss on his cheek. "Don't tell anyone. Yet."
"I won't, but you best get going."
"Okay. Thank you." She and Moon were off.
End chapter one. Two coming. Happy note- Wolfsong just bought a punching bag. She'll be able to keep her sanity.
