19.

Warren checked on Kitty and Piotr, the Russian was fine, still ashamed of what had happened but his mood had lighted up because Kitty was

telling him stupid jokes to cheer him up. Ororo has told Warrant to keep an eye on the kids. She was worried for him, Warren was new in the

mansion and all the information they have uncovered must be burning the young man.

Warren flapped his wings while he walked the hallways, everything was as it should, he opened the door to his room and entered without turning

on the lights. He let himself fall on his unmade bed. He covered his face with his hands and sighed in despair. How could his father have accepted

to help to create that monstruosity. Those robots could mean the end of mutantkind, he was a mutant, how could his father have done this? The

cure was a bad enough thing but this was inexcusable. Warren wanted to punch something, scream, shout, something….he couldn´t stand there

waiting to see if the recordings were true and they were all condemned.

He knew the name of most of the students, he had had a lonely childhood and he loved being surrounded by people. He admired Storm, Logan

and Beast, he wanted to have the chance to know Scott and Xavier…he wanted to live.

Rogue had been sitting in the kitchen for a while, her soda can in front of her. Her thought somewhere else, riding on a motorbike trying to find

out where was Logan.

-"Are you ok?"- Bobby entered with a worried look in his blue eyes

-"Logan hasn´t returned"- Rogue answered

-"He can take care of himself"- Bobby said

-"Something has happened, something is wrong"- Rogue said

-"Are you a telepath now?"- Bobby asked raising an eyebrow

- "No, it is just that I have always felt some kind of connection with him, ever since he saved me in Liberty Island, and maybe even before that"-

She said. Rogue knew that Bobby was not jealous of Logan but that he wasn´t happy when he hear her say how strong was her connection with

Wolverine, mainly because they lacked that kind of bond.

-"He will be back in no time, he would not be happy if he misses his favourite sitcom in the morning"- Bobby tried to make her relax-"Come on,

this has been a long night"

-"I just wish it was over"- Rogue closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Storm was in Logan´s room, worried just like Rogue, she could not understand why but she trusted him more than anyone else. Maybe it was the

fact that since Jean´s death at the Alkali Lake they have been the only ones there to fight for Xavier´s dream. Scott had been busy being sad and

then in a coma, and well, the rest had other things to do. She wished she could also relax and think about simpler things such as dating, going

shopping and having a career in politics.

Kurt appeared at her side, he was the only who could make her laugh. He smiled at her, Kurt Wagner was totally infatuated with this African

goddess but he was too shy and too blue to tell her.

-"He is not back yet?"- Kurt said-"He will be back soon"

-"This was a bad idea from the start"- Storm could not hide her anxiety-"I should have never let him, he talked me into it, the old-fashioned way

to find people he said"

-"He is pretty tough"- Kurt added-"Warren not so much"

-"I know, he must be so confused, his own father is a monster"- Storm said spitefully

-"Maybe he was forced to do it."-Kurt needed to believe that people were good deep down, even if it was very deep down-"His father

probably wanted to tell him, you know, warn us all about it"

-"Yes, sure"- Storm was not going to discuss this-"I shall check on Wanda and get some sleep, we have to find out how to destroy the sentinels

tomorrow"

-"I will go with you"- Kurt wanted to spend as much time as possible with her

They walked till they arrived at the door of Wanda´s room, the door was opened and what they saw was more than a mere surprise. Scott was

kissing Wanda as if there was no tomorrow. Storm was so shocked she just gasped and turned around blushing. Kurt smiled and closed the

door. He wanted to laugh out loud but Storm´s face wouldn´t let him

-"He seems to be getting better"-Kurt said finally

-"I cannot believe it"- Storm said-"They could have at least closed the door, you know"

-"Love conquers it all, and makes it all better"-Kurt wriggle his tail-"maybe one day you should try it"

Storm stared at the spot where Kurt had been, he had disappeared as usual followed by a dark cloud. Ororo was sure she had heard his

laughter before the cloud was completely dissipated into the air.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xavier stayed in his office with a crestfallen McCoy. Both knew this day would arrive, and both wished they could have had more time to get

prepared for it.

-"We should tell the rest of the mutant community"- Hank paced the office

-"Not until we are sure of what we are up against, creating terror has never been my strategy"- Xavier answered-"There is so much we do not

know yet, it seems like I have been away for years, things sometimes change so quickly"

-"Yes"- Beast ran a hand through his hair

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warren was crying silently in his bed when his mobile started to vibrate on the bedside table. He picked it up, it was his father.

-"How could you?"- Warren shouted heartbroken

-"Son, I have no idea what is going with you but I have called you for an urgent matter, you have to trust me, I want you to take the cure, trust

me. Son, you have to take the cure. I have it stored in our house, please, think about your mother and come here. We can talk about whatever is

bothering you, whatever"

-"You will tell me the truth this time"- Warren asked

-"Yes, son, I will"- Worthington senior´s voice was faltering due to the fear and the emotion he was feeling

-"I will go now but I am not taking the cure"- Warren stated

-"Just come, we will discuss this"- His father seemed relieved.

-"Ok"- Warren ended the conversation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scott had stopped kissing Wanda the moment Ororo had stormed into the room. Her face and the laughter of Kurt had made him return to Earth

and see what he was doing. He was kissing and hugging this beautiful woman he had just met. He was so confused he was not able to say

anything for a minute

-"It is okay"- Wanda knew what was going on inside his head-"Look, I understand, please, do not say anything, just go"

Scott was more than thankful to her for that, he nodded and left the room in silence. Storm was still in the corridor, they exchanged a look that

spoke volumes and Scott walked away.
