CHAPTER SIX

Warren was waiting patiently in Theressa's office when Black Fox came walking in, slowly. Angel saw that she'd been crying and she'd didn't look like she felt good herself. He was beginning to think that she was worrying herself sick and he prayed she wasn't sick with the virus.

"Theressa, are you all right?" Warren asked as he walked over to her, picked her up in his arms and set her in her chair behind her desk and knelt down so he could be eye to eye with her. When Theressa didn't answer he asked her again, "Theressa, what's wrong? Is it something with Michael?"

Theressa simply shook her head and tried to speak but couldn't find her voice so she spoke telepathically with her boyfriend.

Warren, it was awful!

"What was so awful that you can't even speak to tell me about it?" Warren asked placing his hands on her arm. Theressa in turn Warren's hands and held them as if she were holding on for dear life and then spoke telepathically once again.

What I saw when I used Cerebro. Warren the whole world is infested with the virus and millions are dying. There was a boy only a few years older than Michael that was dying because of the virus……..

Theressa's words trailed off for a moment while she regrouped her thoughts and then she started again.

He was dying and he was alone. He didn't have anyone to hold him while he left this earth, like Michael does. I had to stay with him until he died, and if I didn't then I'd never be able to forgive myself for letting that boy die alone. I talked to him and found out a lot about him.

"Like what?"

Well for starters he wanted to be an x-men. In fact he was on his way here when he got hit by the virus and then the pain became to much for him to bare so he stayed in one spot. I gave him two things one, I numbed the pain and two I gave him a telepathic course in that danger room. Dan died and X-man today and so did I.

"What do you mean?" Warren asked not understanding at all. How could she have died, Theressa was sitting right in front of him talking with him and the last time Warren had checked, dead men didn't talk.

You know how Logan and I both said that a part of me died with Chris when I killed him that day?

"Yeah."

Well that was hypothetically. We both said that to show how much I missed Chris and how I was acting afterwards. Today, I actually died with Dan in the dark ally way of Chicago. I can't explain how I feel right now, Warren but I know it scares the hell out of me. When I was in Cerebro and I saw all those mutants that were either sick or dying, it broke my heart. Why do we live in such a cruel would?

"I don't know but there's nothing we can do about it T." Warren said and then he saw her stand up and finally speak,

"Yes there is. Get Beast and Wolverine and met me in the briefing room." Theressa said as she grabbed the newspaper she had dropped earlier and ran out of the office, leaving Angel to do as he was asked.

A?N: Little fact: I chose to have ths chapter between Angel and Theressa insted of Wolverine adn Theressa becuase Theressa doesn't depend on her father a much as she use to and she's getting comfotable talking with Angel about anything and this chapter shows that, I think. Please Review
