Heya, I'm back:D also this story's updating should start to go faster, since I'll be down to two stories very soon.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, wish I did, but I don't. Life sucks.
X-Mansion
Logan walked to the gate of the mansion grumbling to himself. 'Damnit why the hell do I have ta go all the way out here. Why the hell did Cyke have ta place that stupid system in. The mansion was fine before. Now I'm freezin my ass off.' Logan complained to himself as he made his way to the gate.
A deliver man was waiting at the gate after have pressed the call button to signal the mansion someone was there. Of course, all the other adults were teaching a class so he had to go. "What do ya want?" Logan asked, not caring if he sounded rude or not.
"I have a delivery here for a Miss. . ." The delivery man looked down at the sheet to make sure he hadn't misread the name. "Rogue." The man said.
"I'll take it to her." Logan told the man as he opened the gate and allowed the man to walk through and handed him a beautiful vase with flowers in it. Logan raised a eyebrow as he looked at the white roses and a card that was in the center of it.
"Have a good day sir." The delivery man said with a wave as he got back into his truck and drove off.
Logan looked at the flowers and began to debate with himself. 'Well I have a right to know who it is.' He told himself as he grabbed the card with his other hand. 'It could be a stalker or something.' He added in as defended himself. He looked at the back of the card and read the message.
"Oh God no." He whispered to himself as he placed the card back in with the flowers. He looked up at the sky when a flake of snow fell onto one of the flowers.
Inside the Mansion
"It's so pretty out there." Kitty said as she placed her elbows on the edge of the windows sill and looked outside at the falling snow.
Most of the students in Mr. Summers class were at the window watching the snow fall on the ground. The only ones that were still at their seats were Rogue, Pietro, Wanda, John, Bobby, Jubilee, and Lorna.
"It's not like we have never seen snow before." Wanda rolled her eyes at the other students. John sat in the seat next to her and shook his head.
"They probably never have seen snow before." John pointed out to Wanda.
"Well explain Kitty." Jubilee asked as she looked up from her desk. "Kitty is from Chicago, it snows there." She pointed out.
"Well Kitty is a bit. . . " Bobby began to rethink his use of words when Peter came to sit in front of him. He had wanted to say weird, but at the moment he was thinking of something that wouldn't get his face punched.
"You were saying?" Peter asked as he folded his arms over his chest.
"Nothing." Bobby whispered as he heard Lorna giggle beside him. "What are you laughing at?" He asked his girlfriend.
"Your so cute when your frightened." She stated as turned around in her desk.
"Oh please, I'm going to be sick." Jubilee whispered to Rogue.
"Ya seem a bit bitter lately. Somethin wrong?" Rogue asked Jubilee, who sighed.
"I have no one." Jubilee stated as she leaned her head against her desk. Rogue looked a bit surprised. Usually her friend was bouncing off the walls with energy and now she was depressed. "Bobby has Lorna, John has Wanda, Pete has Kitty, and I know Gambit is coming back for you. Everyone in the mansion has someone, except for me." Jubilee said.
"Ah don't even know if he is comin back ta the mansion." Rogue told her friend. "Ah haven't heard from Remy in almost three months now. He might of forgotten about meh." Rogue stated as she closed her eyes.
"When you were kidnaped he was worried about you. You were the only thing that was on his mind the entire time. Even when you got back and were still going out with Bobby he had his eyes on you still." Jubilee stated.
"Well you could always go out with Pietro again." Rogue suggested to her friend. She hated seeing her like this. 'Mabeh if Ah talk to Logan he might know what ta say ta her ta get her ta stop actin like this. It's not like her.' Rogue thought to herself as Scott Summers walked into his classroom.
"I'm not going out with him again. Besides he already has a girlfriend." Jubilee said before she turned back to the front of the classroom
'Damnit, why won't he answer my calls.' Scott thought to himself as he thought of his friend Warren. He had called several times. The first time the phone rang, but then the second time the phone had gotten disconnected. 'Maybe I should fly over there or ask the Professor if he can reach Warren with Cerebro.' He thought to himself.
"That's enough class now go back to your seats." Scott ordered his students. They came back to their seats and sat starring at him. "First I want to say, we have a new student here. I want you all to make him feel welcome." Scott addressed the class as a young man about their age came into the classroom and stood there. He had his eyes to the floor as soon as he looked at the class. "This is Mr. Jonathan Starsmore, he has traveled from England." Scott stated as Jono took a seat near the front.
'What's with the scarf?' Jubilee thought to herself as she stared at the young man, who kept his eyes at his desk. He refused to look at anyone else. 'Though he is kinda cute.' Jubilee thought to herself as Mr. Summers began to speak to the class.
John placed his elbow on his desk and began to nod off. 'This is why I left the school. Well half of the reason.' He thought to himself. He looked down at his notebook and looked over at Wanda. He open the notebook and began writing a note to her. As soon as the note was done he handed it over to her without Mr. Summers looking. He knew if the teacher found it he would read it in front of the class. He did it once before, and he knew Mr. Summers would do it again.
Wanda took the note from John and looked at it. "Want to go out after this?" The note said. She took her pen and wrote down a answer and slid it back over to him.
John took the note and read her answer. "Sure why not." The note replied.
"Okay class I want you to split up into groups. Only two to four people in each group." Scott told the kids. He had ordinally planned out a entire lecture, but at the moment he decided to hold it off. He knew he would not be able to teach properly when one of his friends was not answering his calls and the fact Warren also might be in trouble, which worried him the most. He went to sit at his desk to grade a few papers while the rest of the class split up.
Jubilee and Rogue became one group. While Lorna, Bobby, Kitty, and Peter became another. John, Wanda and Pietro became another group, while the rest of the students hurried themselves with their friends
"He looks alone." Jubilee said as she looked at Jono sitting by himself. " I'm going over there to ask him to join us." Jubilee told Rogue as she walked over to Jono. "Hey, you want to join our group?" Jubilee asked him, her voice was much more cheerful than it had been earlier.
Jono shook his head, saying nothing.
"Are you sure?" She asked him.
T'at's alrig't, I would kind of like ter work by meself. Jono replied in a telepathic message that startled Jubilee.
"You can speak telepathically? Cool." She said with a smile, but Jono only bowed his head to the side and looked away.
'Can't let her get close ter me, if she knew what yer did. She would t'ink the same way yer do.' Jono thought to himself as Jubilee left to return to sit next to Rogue. Jono sighed as he looked back at Jubilee.
"Hey you guys want to go out tomorrow for dinner? Kinda like a double date?" Kitty asked Lorna, knowing Bobby wouldn't have much of a say. Besides she knew Lorna could sucker Bobby into going that is how she got Peter to say yes.
"That sounds like fun. We should do that." Lorna said as she turned to her boyfriend.
"Sure, who's driving?" Bobby asked as he looked Peter.
"I'll be driving." Peter answered as he started working on the assignment. The others soon began to help after Lorna and Kitty began talking of where they should go.
30 minutes later
The class piled out of the classroom. Rogue was one of the last people to walk out of the room. She found Logan standing with a vase that held a dozen white roses right outside. "Wow, ya goin ta ask someone out or what?" Rogue teased him.
"Actually, these are fer you." Logan stated as he handed the vase to Rogue, who looked shocked.
"Who are they from?" Rogue asked as Logan turned around and began walking down the hall.
"Like ya don't know who there from." Logan said as he continued walking.
Rogue looked confused and then took the note that was placed in the roses. Her eyes widen as she read the message.
"Bonjour, chere. Be seeing you soon." The message read.
"Oh mah gawd. He's comin back." Rogue whispered to herself as a smile crept on her face.
Los Angeles, California
It had been the three days since Warren had last seen that figure who offered his wings back to him. He had thought about the Pros and Cons about what could happen. The only thing he kept coming up with were all Pros and no Cons.
'When will this guy get here.' Warren thought angrily. He had waited all day for the figure to return and so far they haven't returned. He had secluded himself from the outside world. He kept his door locked and had unplugged the phone when it began to ring the day before. He did not check the caller ID to see who it was. He simply did not care.
"I see you have made your decision." Warren heard a deep voice behind him state. Warren turned around to the corner he had seen the figure in before. Just like in their first encounter, the figure stood in the corner where no light reached.
"I have made my decision. I want my wings back. What do you want for it?" Warren asked the figure, who did not reply until several seconds later.
"You shall find out later. What matters is you are able to enjoy your new set of wings." The figure spoke. "Do you still want them?" The figure asked him one last time.
"Yes." Warren said without hesitation. He wanted his wings back more than anything else in the world. He wanted that feeling back of gliding through the air hundreds of miles above the earth with the wind beating against his face.
"Very well." The figure said, a bit a humor in it's voice as it raised it's hand. Warren was able to see the hand, and like before the hand was see through. A small ball of blue light came from the figure's hand and moved closer through the air to Warren, who stared at it.
Once the light came closer it widen up and shot right at Warren and began to encircle his body. The blue light twirled itself around him and absorbed itself into his skin. Warren yelled in pain as he fell to his knees, his hands covering his face. He felt a sharp pain in his back, but did not move.
Within a few seconds the light died down and Warren was left kneeling on the ground. Warren removed his shaking hands from his head and looked down at them. His normal white skin was gone; instead, in it's place was blue skin. Warren looked up at the figure and began to shout at it. "What did you do to me?" He yelled as he looked at his other hand and found it just the same.
"You wanted your wings back, and now they are." The figure told him as if it had done nothing wrong. Warren looked behind his back and found a set of metal wings sticking out of his back. They were wings, but not like his original ones.
"These are not my wings!" He shouted at the figure as he stood up. He looked to the side and saw his reflection in the mirror. His face had also turned blue, but his eyes remained the same, for now.
"You wanted wings back, but you forgot to mention your original ones." The figure chuckled to itself. "As for the payment." The figure spoke.
"You will get nothing from me! You just made everything worse!" Warren shouted at the figure.
"Oh, but you will do my bidding." The figure told Warren.
Warren glared at the figure and then felt his whole body go numb. His once blue eyes turned to black. "You will go and create chaos in the streets." The figure ordered to Warren, who nodded. "Now go, Archangel. I have other business to take care of." The figure said as it disappeared.
Astral Plane
"That's right little girl." Malice's voice laughed as it watched a girl with brown hair and white stripes set a vase filled with white roses on her dresser and look at them. "Enjoy your freedom for now, it won't be lasting that long."
"I'll be happy to get out of here, this place is getting weird by each day." Malice said to herself as she looked at the darkening skies around the Astral Plan. She had been sent here every time after she had possessed a person's body. She had no appearance, except that of the host. All she was, was a glowing ball of golden light. But she was determined to end that very soon
She looked at a door that was sealed and had been sealed every time she had been sent to the Astral Plan. 'Though soon, I'll have a body of my own, a very powerful body." Malice laughed to herself as she looked down at Rogue.
"What the?" Malice's attention was turned back to the door and a figure appeared in front of it. She was unable to see who the figure was, but from what she could sense, they were not very strong. They seemed to be flickering in and out of the Astral Plan.
Before the figure disappeared completely they blew the chains away from the door and left. Malice floated over to the door curiously. She had tried to break the chains to see what was behind the door, but she wasn't powerful enough. The being that had appeared before must of been extremely powerful to of broken the chains.
Malice opened the door to find a huge mess of black fog as it started to creep it's way into the clearer parts of the Astral Plan. She then began to back away as she saw a figure that had frightened even her began to approach.
