As Tricia and her friends walked in the Mansion, Angela grabbed Tricia's arm, pulling her away from the group. "What did you tell them about yourself?"
"I told them what I always say." Tricia looked at Angela knowing that her friend hated that lie.
"Why wouldn't you tell them?" Angela said knowing that Alex had stopped and was listening in.
"It's for their own safety, and you know that." Tricia hated hiding who and what she truly was, but she had too. It truly was for everyone else's safety. Angela watched as Tricia and Alex walked away. There was nothing she could do to change her friend's mind, but that is the way it had to be. They all walked into the Professor's office, everyone was sitting down and chatting. The groups seemed to be separated, the X-Men on the left side, and Tricia's group on the right. Tricia, Angela, and Alex walked in they smiled at the sight.
The three of them took their sets next to both the X-Men and the other group. Everyone stopped talking and looked up; it seemed that everyone was just waiting for them to come so that something could happen.
Tricia looked around at her friends; she noticed that there were people missing. "Where is Jazzy, Boaster, and Knox?"
"They decided that they didn't want to leave yet." Alex said knowing what Tricia was going to say to that.
"Are you joking me? I thought that they were in it with us. I can't believe they would stay." Tricia was angry, she had no idea that they would stay with those people. "After everything those people put us though, they are going to stay."
"I know, I know, we talked to them about it too, and said the same damn thing." Amanda said, she looked down to the ground, the thought of the origination made her feel sick.
"There is nothing that we can do about them now. They have decided to stay, that's that." Alex looked at Tricia, she knew that she was pissed, but there was nothing that they could do. "We should look to what is going on now though, we have enough problems." Tricia nodded she understood what Alex was saying, and knew they had worse things to worry about.
"I would like to thank you all for letting me stay with you for this past couple of weeks." Tricia said looking at the X-Men next to her.
"Where will you be going now?" Jean asked.
"I have a home on this lake, that is were we'll be residing now." Alex said looking at Jean.
"Are you talking about that hotel?" Henri asked knowing there was no other home on the lake.
"Yes, my mother bought it years ago, and when she was alive there were people that stayed there, but since her death no one has been there. We have been secretly designing it for us for a few years now. It will be nice to have place to call home. It's been far too long." Alex looked at everyone with a smile on her face. She was very beautiful; she decently looked like the type of woman that would be on a runway.
"I would like to invite you back here so that the X-Men and I could see you perform." The professor said looking at Alex and Tricia.
"That would be great." Alex said smiling at the Professor.
"The rest of us should be getting home." Amanda said knowing that she wanted to get a nap in before she got her ass kicked.
"I have things that I need to do before I leave." Tricia said looking at Amanda.
"Yeah, I'll stay behind with you. I want to talk to the Professor, if that is alright with you Professor." Alex said looking at the Professor, he nodded his head yes.
"I'll put your other stuff in the truck." Max said looking at his wife Loran. He knew that she was tired and wanted to go get some sleep before the workout they were going to get tonight.
"So everything is set, I will see you all later. It is 3 p.m. right now; shall we see you all at 8 p.m.?" The professor said looking at the new group in front of him. They were a strange group indeed, very different from the X-Men in appearance and in attitude, but he felt they would be good for each other.
With that, the X-Men and Tricia's group said their goodbyes and see ya laters. Tricia left Alex and the Professor to talk. She went up to her room to gather her things when she heard a knock on her door. "Come in," She said. Remy walked in, he still looked like he was worried about what she had said earlier. They stared at each other for a second, and Remy walked over to her bed ad sat down.
"So you know that I am a T'eif." Remy said looking at the floor.
Tricia sat next to Remy. "My whole team knows. No one else expect the Professor. I didn't tell him. He knew when you came here." Tricia said before adding this, "We all have secrets. Yours is safe with me." Tricia then smiled at Remy.
Remy looked at Tricia, wanting nothing more then to just hold her in his arms, taking her right there. Some how he knew that his secret was safe with her; Remy might not have known Tricia for long, but he did believe that she would keep her promise.
As Remy and Tricia sat on her bed, Alex came into the room. Alex sat down next to Tricia; she looked at Remy and Tricia. "So, are you ready to go?"
Tricia smiled at Remy one last time, then turned to her friend and nodded. Grabbing her things, she turned to Remy and said, "I'll see you later." With that, Tricia and Alex left the Mansion. Remy watched as they left the driveway. He knew that this woman had changed him some much, even though he knew little to nothing about her. He had no idea what these new people were like, but all he knew was that they were going to change the way things happened around here, and he was going to like it.
