Chapter 3

After meeting with Charles Xavier. Johnny was then taken to his room that he would be sharing with Charlie.

'You can set up your things here. And this thats your bed there' explained Storm. 'I'll leave you to get settled in.'

'Thank you.' said Johnny polietly.

The room was spacious. There was a bed at the back of the one bedroom room and another near the door. That was clearly Charlies as she had a beside table set up, with an alarm clock, lipgloss and a photo of what looked to be her parents. Johnny placed his suitcases near the end of the bed. He wondered where Charlie had got to. He really wanted to see her again and talk about what happened. He didn't realise at the time if relationships were aloud at the school.

He unpacked all of his clothes and took out with beloved Xbox. He looked around the room and found what he was looking for. A TV was placed near the centre of the room against the wall so both tendants could view it from their bed. He set up the Xbox and started playing Midnight Club 3 one of favourite games.

After a while he got bored and realised it was late. He turned the Xbox off and then the lights.He then crawled into bed dissapointed, he had hoped Charlie would have been back by now. He was about to fall asleep when he heard the familar laughter of Charlie and some light appear as she opened the door.

'Hey' said Johnny.

She screamed. 'Omigod. I thought you were asleep.'

He laughed.

'Whats wrong?' asked a voice. A tall man entered behind Charlie. He had dark brown hair and eyes.

'Its all right Jack, Johnny just scared me.' said Charlie as she found her way in the darkness of the room towards her beside table. She reached to her lamp and went to turn it on. But all three were still in the dark, except for the light coming through from the hallway.

'Oh... poor Charlie is all in the dark' said Jack teasing.

'Bullshit' she replied. With the flick of her wrist towards a shelf above her head, a row of candles flickered alight.

Johnny smiled, amused by the fact and talent of her powers.

'Well you proved me wrong, Sis. Night Johnny' said Jack waving. 'Night Flame.'

'Good night, Speedy Gonzales' she answered.

As Jack closed the door she heard him say 'Underlay Underlay' like Speedy Gonzales, the mouse off of Looney Tunes.

Charlie laughed. 'Brothers' she stated.

'So thats your brother?'

'Yeah thats him'

'I thought he might have been a boyfriend.'

'Hell no. I mean we are aloud to date here, but my brother. Thats just gross.'

He laughed. 'Just curious.'

'And you have everyright to be' said Charlie crawling into her bed. 'Johnny about earlier on in the evening. I don't really want people to know. Cause you know your like this famous hero on TV. Whereas us mutants people fear us.'

'So it was just a fling?' he asked disapointed.

'I don't know' she said sadly. 'I mean I would really like for us to be more but in our circumstances maybe we should just be friends for now.'

'I understand.'

They left the convesation as that. 20 minutes past and Charlie was slowly drifting oof to sleep.

'Hey flame' said Johnny.

'Yeah?' she answered sleepily.

'You aren't gonna leave those candles going are you?'

'Oops. I forgot about them.' She glanced at her water bottle beside her and then at the candles. Then a droplet of water appeared above each candle and fell putting out the flames. The room went dark.

'Cool trick' added Johnny.

'Good night. The Human Torch or would you prefer just Torch?'

He laughed. 'Night Flame'
