Chapter 3- Enter Rivalry
"Rahte, so ya sure ya know what ya doin'?" Rogue asked Wanda for the seven millionth time that evening.
"Yes." Wanda rolled her eyes in reply.
"Positive?"
"For god's sake Rogue, Yes, Yes I'm sure." Wanda said in an annoyed tone.
"Ok, ok just checkin' ya certain." Rogue held her hands up in surrender.
"I'm certain, now come on lets…" Wanda was cut off by the sudden sharp ringing of the doorbell.
"Ah'll get it." Rogue announced as she strolled over to the door and flung it open. "Can ah help ya?"
A Tall man stood at the door, a long brown coat covering his body. His head was tilted downwards and a brown bowler hat hid his facial features.
As Rogue opened the door, the man lifted his head to acknowledge the person, and gave a small grin as he saw who stood at the door.
"Rogue, how good it is to see you." The man took off his hat and Rogue couldn't help herself as her mouth fell open. There in front of her was one of the most handsome men she had ever laid her eyes on.
He was a beautiful man and looked as though he was sculptured from god himself. Rogue gulped and wondered if that was how he got his codename 'Angel'. With his eyes that glowed a stunning shade of cerulean, and his hair, the colour of sunshine. Rogue couldn't help but stare wide eyed and mouth agape at him.
" Warren? What are ya doin' here?" her gaping look quickly changed into a friendly smile.
"I came to speak with the Professor, is he available?" Warren asked in his friendly tone.
"Oh sure, come on in, ah'll take ya to him." Rogue ushered him in and swiftly closed the door behind. "Can ah take yoah coat?" She asked, he shrugged himself out of his jacket and handed it too her.
Rogue again was left astounded, for as soon as his coat was off, two glorious, pearly white wings sprouted from his back.
"Wow...Beautiful" She managed to gasp out.
"Huh?" Warren turned in confusion, Rogue went beet red as she realised she expressed her thoughts out loud.
"Oh…ahm sorrah."
"Its ok." He smiled genuinely at her.
"Hey Rogue, who's the hunk?" Wanda whispered to Rogue as she came to stand beside her.
"Oh erm Warren this is Wanda, Wanda this is Warren." She introduced the two; Warren raised Wanda's hand to his mouth and gave it a light kiss. Wanda blushed in reply.
"Such a gentleman…Well I had better be going, things to do, people to torture. I'll defiantly be seeing you around." Wanda winked at Warren and nodded at Rogue.
"Bah" Rogue waved as her friend left her. "So ah guess we had bettah go fahnd the professah." She turned to her handsome companion, and led him away.

She snuck glances as she walked beside him. She recalled the first time they met. It was a couple of Christmases ago, when her and Scott went to investigate the "Angel" rumours in New York. She remembered how he had saved her life and flew them both to safety.
'It felt so good in his arms…Gawd, what am ah thinkin', ahm goin' out with Remy.' She quickly shook the thought from her head 'Remy's mah boyfriend, ah can't go thinkin' of othah guys…but he sure is handsome…Gawd quit it.'
"Are you ok?" He asked with concern in his voice, as rogue frantically shook her head.
"Oh its nothang, jus' rememberin' when weh first met."
"That bad, huh?" He let out a chuckle and Rogue turned red in embarrassment. She couldn't think of a reply so they both stayed quiet for the remainder of the journey to Professor Xavier's office.
When they reached the office, Rogue went to knock
"Please invite Mr Worthington in." An elderly mans voice spoke in her head. She turned the door knob and opened the door.
"Ya can go in." As he entered he turned back to her.
"Thank you." He lifted her hand, as he did with Wanda and kissed it firmly. He then walked fully into Charles's office and shut the door behind. Rogue blushed at the gesture, and collapsed against the closed door.
'Oh mah gawd.'

Inside Xavier's office a wheelchair bound man sat behind a deep mahogany desk, reading a document. His fingers were steepled together in concentration. As Angel entered, he lifted his head.
" Warren, how good it is to see you."
"Same here professor." The young man bowed his head in respect.
"Now, what is it that brings you here?" Charles offered him a seat, which he obediently took.
"Well my parents are away again, and I don't feel like spending another Christmas alone. So I was wondering whether I would be able to have a room here over the holidays."
"Of course Warren, you are more than welcome to stay here."
"If its any trouble…" Warren continued, but was abruptly cut off.
"No, of course not, you are considered part of our family here." Xavier smiled in a fatherly way.
"Thank you Professor."
"Please call me Charles, and its no problem. Have you brought any things with you."
"Yes I have my suitcases in my car, I hope I was not being too presumptuous."
"Nonsense now let me get someone to help you out." Xavier put his fingers to his head and looked to be in deep concentration for a moment. Warren knew he must have been contacting someone via his telepathy.
"Now then someone should be here any minute to help you with your bags and take you to your room."
"I can't thank you enough pro…Charles." Warren stuttered as Xavier gave him a pleasant smile.
"Your more than welcome my lad…ah here comes your escort now." The door was promptly pushed open, and a young man wearing sunglasses appeared.
"Y' call'd mon ami?" Remy asked as he entered the room, he eyed up the blonde man sitting across from Xavier. 'hmm looks Rich, won'er how much cash he got in his wallet.'
"Ah Remy, this is Warren Worthington 111, and Warren this is Remy Lebeau." Xavier introduced, Remy's eyes lit up in recognition at the name. He had after all stolen from the guys family countless times.
Warren seemed to be going through the same debate, he recognised the man and his name, but couldn't quite place him.
"Remy know who he is." Remy grinned mischievously.
"Would you kindly escort Warren to one of the guest rooms?" Xavier asked, Remy continued grinning and nodded to the professor. Warren felt something was suspicious about this other young man, he seemed all too familiar.

"And here be y' room." Remy announced opening the door and placing one of Warren's suitcases down.
"Thank you." Warren replied, he too put down a suitcase.He immediately zipped it open and pulled out a beautifully carved golden and emerald jewelled necklace.
"Nice, Remy guessin' Ancien' Egyptian?" Remy took off the sunglasses he had adorned to appraise the jewel more accurately, his eyes raking in every detail of the artefact. It seemed familiar to him; perhaps he had once been keeper of it.
"Yes you're correct." Warren noticed how Remy's gaze seem to be locked on the necklace, so he hastily put it back in his case.
"Remy always right, so why you carryin' it wit' y'? Someone steal it afore?" Remy joked, Warren stiffened at the remark 'that voice, and those eyes, demon eyes…'
"Lebeau…that's where I've seen you from." Warren blurted as he realised the very man standing in his room, was the exact man that had stolen, countless expensive artefacts from him.
"Sorry mon ami, not following." His demonic gaze looked straight at Warren.
"You're the thief that raided my apartment."
"Remy dunno what y' talkin' bout."
"Don't play dumb, thief." Remy grinned and shrugged his shoulders in reply, playing the innocent act.
"Remy dunno wha' ya sayin', but perhaps y' should work on y' security sys'em." Remy smirked and quickly left the room.
"Oh you'll get yours Lebeau." Warren glared at the spot Remy previously possessed.
