Sabeybaby & 4Rogue- Thanks, I understand. It's good to hear both sides of my pairings. I'm still
not sure where I'm headed right now, little bit of writers block so bear
with me please.
PATHS NOT CHOSEN
Momma definitely fulfilled her promise, it was gonna beh a late night. She had caused a nice, lil covert detraction, in the form of a'fire in a different section so there were fewer guards near us, 'specially since it was so late. After noticin' that there were only two guards outside Ah decided ta pick a fight with Remy. They came in ta subdue us when Ah noticed one of them was really momma, and as soon as the guard came ta break us up she knocked him in the head with her baton. So we all made a break for it. We followed momma ta the exits and we ended up on the room, and of all times it was pourin' rain.
Ah went through mah catalogue a'powers and found some Ah could use. Ah flew up ta the sky and noticed where the power ta the buildin' was comin' from and sent a lightnin' bolt staight to it. Ah was hopin' that it would overload it just long 'nough ta let everybody inside break out before the backups came on. All Ah could do was wait and see. Ah was relieved ta see some mutants runnin' out. This was it. Ah know Ah don't have much time. Ah took momma, Kurt, Remy and a few nearby mutants that followed us and teleported them away from the buildin' and then back ta mah place on the roof. Ah had ta make sure they didn't, that they couldn't do this ta anybody else. Ah had ta protect. That's when it happened, what Ah pulled from Jean, it wanted ta help meh, so Ah let it. Ah felt the fire burn inside meh then all around meh. It went bah so fast, Ah could hardly understan' it mahself. Ah was able ta gather up anybody alive inside and get them out, then Ah made the place burn. Ah felt renewed, reborn. But that's when mah emotions got ta meh and where evah these powers came from they weren't goin' back. Ah felt the fire burn through meh and so Ah tried ta get away, but Ah couldn't not fast enough, it consumed meh and Ah screamed and fell from the sky.
The next thang Ah know, Ah'm layin' on the ground and it's black everywhere, 'cept for him. Where am Ah? It almost looks like mah dreams. Mah dreams? Mah head.
"Cody?"
"Yes Marie?"
"What's goin' on here sugah?"
"Don't ya remembah?"
"Remembah what?"
"Ah told ya that everythang would beh fine. That we would beh together."
"What?"
"Ya couldn't go home ta meh. Ah understand that Marie, so we can stay here."
"In mah head?"
"Yeah."
"Then whose in mah body?"
"Somethan' called the Pheonix. She doesn't want ta hurt ya Marie."
"Quit callin' meh that! Ah ain't Marie, not anymore."
"Ya have always been Marie. Ya just don't understand."
"No, Ah want ta live mah life, not in mah head. We just weren't meant ta beh sugah, don't ya see that?"
"No Marie, ya just stubborn, ya see."
"Yah crazy."
"Ya love meh Marie, ya always will. We can beh together, don't ya see it?"
"No. Ah don't wanna. Ah'm sorry, but that was along time ago Cody, Ah've changed since then."
"Ah know, Ah've been watchin'."
"Now that's just creepy. How did this happen?"
"Made a deal with her. She's nevah felt emotions, she enjoys them."
"Ah see." Ah turn and walk away from him inta the darkness Ah call mah mind.
"Marie. Marie!"
"Ah ain't stayin' here sugah, with or without ya, Ah'm gettin' mah body back."
"Can ya honestly say that ya don't love meh anymore?" Ah turn and Ah look inta his eyes. His innocent, sad eyes. Ah can't believe it's all 'cause of meh. Ah put him through so much. Ah look away and shake mah head no.
"Ya see-" Ah look back at him.
"Ah don't love ya Cody." Then some door appears and he opens it and walks through, and just before he closes it he says, "Ah'm sorry Marie."
"Meh too."
