Chapter 14. The fire within
XXX
Amara and John layed together on her bed, both exhausted, and still dazzled by their new found physic connection. They had just experienced perhaps the most exciting make out session yet. Every thing was enhanced when their minds were joined. They had shared words, visions and fantasies through the link. John knew just how to make her blood boil now. He had seen her fantasies that involved him through the link, and in return he shared his with her. Amara knew through the link exactly why John had stopped her actions before, he was so close to coming that it hurt him, and he did not want to spill his seed in front of Amara in his suit.
"Luv", John breathed still slightly taken.
"Mmm"
"Can you help me put the suit back on? I really need to have a shower now"
Amara rolled over to assist him with the suit. When she had finished, John stood up, while she remained on the bed. He looked down at the olive skinned beauty, that had proclaimed herself his, through the connection several times, and couldn't help it as his eyes misted over with lust once more. Amara watched this, and couldn't help blushing slightly under the intense stare, which brought her powers closer to the surface once again.
"You need to go", she said meekly
her words snapped John back, "Ahh, yes-I'll see you around", he stuttered, trying to return to his normal state of mind.
He them left her room and headed for the bathroom.

Dinner at the x-mansion, was gradually getting better for the new members, as the original members slowly became use to their presents. John sat beside Amara like he had form the start of his time at the institute.
"I was up in the girls hall before", Logan announced, from his position at the table. "Funny thing was, that I picked up a very strong sent up there any guesses who's sent it was?"
John and Amara sheared a nervous glance. "Perhaps you could tell me...John", Logan said locking eyes with the Australian.
"Umm, no, I really have no idea", he said trying his best to look innocent, "Now who would be up in the girls hall?", he asked no one, staring off into space, and stroking his chin, as if in thought.
Amara snorted into her glass of water at johns actions. "Steady luv, swallow the water, don't inhale it", John said patting her back.
Logan glared at the two, Amara averted her eyes, while john continued to pretend to be in thought. People had paused in eating to watch the show.
"Don't play dumb with me kid. You were up their today, mind telling me what you were doing", he ordered in a gruff tone.
"Me!", John said pointing to him self, "Up in the girls hall, when you specifically told me not to go up there", he asked with wide eyes.
"That's what I said", Logan said coming close to the end of his tether.
"John, Gambit, Piotr, I need to you in my office. Oh, and Amara and Rogue are welcome as well, we have a unfortunate incident to discuss", Xavier announced wheeling into the room.
All the people in mention stood, to follow Xavier out of the room. Logan fixed John with another vicious glare, as he left with the others, making a mental note to step up John's training.

"We were able to access the safe that you brought with you today", Xavier said sweeping his eyes over the youths in front of him. "And what we found was not what we expected".
"What do you mean not what you expected?", John asked not quite sure where this was going.
Xavier didn't reply instead he reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a file, marked 'St John Allerdyce', john took it and opened it, a heap of blue papers fell out of it, he looked down at them confused.
"There're Blue prints John", Xavier explained. "They are all in code and Hank has not been able to decipher them, but they appear to have some relation to the machine we intercepted a few months back"
"Soo, where is my stuff?", John asked gathering up the papers.
Xavier did not answer at first, he gaze swept across the crowed once more. "Magneto called me today", he announced. "It seems he has realized that we took the wrong file, apparently the title of the file was just a cover up, so nobody would realize what the true content of the file was".
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded, as a stunned silence fell over the room. Amara turned towards, John concern written all over her face. John's brain slowly processed the information.
"So, you mean to tell me that a lunatic of a man, that wears a bucket on his head, who is bent on world domination STILL HAS MY PERSONAL FILES!!", John yelled, unable to hold it in.
"Please settle down John.", Xavier begged, "We can still get them, the blue prints must be of value to Magneto, because he wishes to make a swap."
"The blue prints, for my files?", John asked trying to cram down.
"It is a little more complicated I'm afraid", Xavier said
"What do you mean by complicated?", Piotr asked
"He said that he would only accept the swap from one person"
"And that is?", John urged him on
"Amara"
The was silence upon the room once more, until it was broken . John laughed insanely at the proposal, "There is no way in hell that I would ever let that happen"
"John-", Amara started meekly.
"No!", John yelled cutting her off, Amara was taken aback. "Look, I worked for the man. I know that if he wants you, and only you to deliver the blue prints, that he has something planed"
"Remy would have to agree with John, if Magneto want Amara to do it, he has something up his sleeve", Gambit sated, backing John up.
"But-", Amara tried again.
"No buts, and that's final. I would rather let Magneto have my files, than let you walk straight into his hands", John announced locking eyes with her.
"No John, listen!", she yelled at him, "you don't understand this means Magneto still owns you, and if anyone is going to own you it's me!", she got up out of her chair, pointing a finger at his chest. "You put your self endanger to come and live with me, Why won't you let me do the same to keep you with me!"
"Because Amara!", John yelled back standing up "I LOVE YOU, and I will NOT let you do this!"
Amara did not respond, the Room lapped back into silence, the rooms eyes were glued to the warring couple. Amara and John just glared at each other. Until Amara suddenly turned on her heal, leaving the room. The Room was in silence, as John turned following her.
Amara marched back into the dinning room, where all the other x-men were, slamming the door. All the room stopped eating to look at her, they were all silent, as they looked upon her upset face. John soon entered behind her.
"Amara-"
"NO!, I don't want to hear anymore, you obviously don't want my help", she snapped
"Why can't you see!? I don't care if you don't want me anymore, but I will not let it happen!, I WILL NOT LET YOU WALK INTO THIS BASTARDS HANDS!"
"WHY CAN'T YOU SEE? YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE EVER LOVED" Amara was in hysterics, now, at the way John was speaking to her.
"And I want you to be the only one!, I know we haven't been with each other for that long!, but I want us to have a future together. I want us to one day be married, I want to give birth to your children, and I want to be able to say, that with out a doubt, St John Allerdyce belongs to me, and I to him!!, not a some psychopath!! Bent on world domination, that bought you", her eyes were starting to mist over "So forgive for wanting to do this! Forgive me for wanting all of you, And forgive me for wanting to help the person I love!"
"Is that what you really want!", John yelled matching her tone.
"YES! CALL ME SELFISH, BUT I JUST WANT TO HAVE YOU!!!"
"THAN AMARA AQUILLA, WILL YOU MARRY ME?", John yelled matching her tone again. After that, he got down on one knee tacking her hand.
"what?", Amara asked, shocked.
"I said Amara, 'Will you marry me", John repeated, "or wasn't I shouting loud enough?"
Tears were starting to run from Amara's eyes, "But, I'm only seventeen", she whispered
"And I'm only nineteen, but that doesn't change anything. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you", his own eyes were brimming with tears now.
"But, it's so soon-"
"Amara,... yes or no"
Amara locked eyes with him. A new wave of tears spilling forth. "Yes you fool, yes".
John rose from his knee, Just as Amara though herself at him. John caught her lifting her off the ground, and spinning her, Amara couldn't help laughing at this. He lowered her back down, bringing his lips to met hers, the kissed passionately, hardly believing what had just happened, Amara could feel the fire rising in her more intense than she had ever felt if before. 'Let it loose', John spoke through the link 'I can handle it' . Amara brought the flames forth, turning into the living flame she was. The heat proof pyro, held her even closer, kissing her fiery lips all the more harder. They both forgot about the people they were with, they forgot about the room itself, they were all that mattered. They would have continued but a noise interrupted them. John broke the kiss and turned to the door. Remy was there clapping slowly grinning at his teammate, he had seen the whole thing. Piotr who was standing next to him also started clapping, Rogue followed than kitty, then Kurt, soon the whole room was applauding the fiery couple. They both smiled sheepishly. Amara slowly turned back into her normal self.
"Does this mean, we can share a room now?", John asked Xavier who wheeled up to congratulate them. Amara rolled her eyes. What had she agreed to marry into?

AN: I was not going to marry them when I started writing this chapter, but when I started it just flowed, and before I knew it I had John proposing. Oh well at least it was a good read for all you people out there, I believe I just added a whole lot of depth to this story with this chapter.
