Chapter Fourteen

Plans for the Future

Cyclops sat on the front steps of the Mansion a few days later watching the sun go down when Theressa came and sat next to him. "How's the leg?"

"Hurts. Can't walk on it yet either but I'll be fine. Times like these are when I'm glad that I'm telekinetic."

"You get into see the president?"

"Yeah actually, I just got back." Theressa said, "I went in, telepathically froze everyone but him and we talked. He said that he never meant for anyone to get hurt. He was told that the mutants would be placed in a camp all there own and we would basically have the united nation of humans and a united nation of mutants. He recalled all the soldiers and they won't be bothering us for awhile. On the other hand, the mansion is a complete disaster zone. All the windows are shattered, there's bullets in the wall and the fridge, the doors were pulled off their hedges and not to mention the blood stains in the carpet from Wolverine killing some remaining soldiers when we got back. So you can see that we have a lot of…."

"I'm not staying." Cyclops yelled at Theressa knowing that she was trying to get him to stay.

"Okay." Theressa said in reply as if Scott had not yelled at her.

Scott sighed and said, "I'm sorry, T, I shouldn't have yelled like that but ….I just can't stay. I…."

"Still miss him?"

"Yeah and it hurts just being here."

"I know Scott. I miss him too."

"Not the way I do. I was the first X-man and Xavier was like a father to me."

Theressa placed her hand on Scott's shoulder and said, "Well, you and Jean can come back whenever you are ready. These doors are always open, Scott."

"Thanks T." Theressa got up, levitating herself a few inches above the ground.

"Your welcome. Oh, wait you can't leave just yet?"

"Why? You need me to fix your bike again?"

"No. Beast and Storm are still at Beast's safe house and need help convincing the morlocks that it's safe to go home and a lift back to the mansion. They've both decided to come back to the X-men."

"Can't you take Jean? After all doesn't that take a telepath?" Scott asked talking about convincing the morlocks

"Yes but I want to take you on one last ride in the jet before you leave."

"All right but I'm driving."

"Not if I get there first." Theressa said flying threw the open door. Scott jumped up and ran after her.

"Hey no fair!"

"Who said anything about me being fair?" Theresa yelled back at her friend as they went to go lend Beast and Storm a hand.
