Hey everyone thanks for the reviews, i hope you like this chapter, Ithink its my favourite so far. enjoy!
Mr Worthington stood looking out the window at the mutants below, some were waiting in line to be cured, and others had signs and were yelling out "No! To the cure!" There were news reporters everywhere and many people who had gathered round to see what all the fuss was about. There was several traffic jams on the roads all around the building. People were yelling and arguing about the cure. Several fights had broken out and there was a lot of police and security. No matter where you looked there was absolute mayhem.
Mr Worthington hadn't wanted it to be like this, all he wanted was for the people who wanted a way out of their mutants to have one. He wanted to help them not make them hate him and the rest of the humans. He wanted them to be able to have the best life they could have, that's all he really wanted for his son. He had been alerted a few moments ago that Warren was on his way up.
Dr. Kavita Rao interrupted Mr Worthington's train of thought "Are you sure you want to start with him?" her accent was hard to place.
"I think it's important, yes" he told her as they walked away from the window.
The door opened and Warren stepped through wearing his brown overcoat. His father walked forward.
"Hello Warren" said Dr Rao.
"How are you son?" Mr Worthington asked putting his hand on his back "You sleep well?" Warren nodded. "I'm so proud of you for doing this, and everything is going to be fine, I promise. Are you ready?"
"Yep" Warren mumbled, he was nervous. He wasn't sure he wanted this anymore, just get it over and done with Warren he told himself. He told off his overcoat and shirt while Dr Rao put on some surgical gloves and prepared the needle. He left the harness on his wings and walked towards the table. He stood up and leaned against it, while to men put his arms into harnesses.
"The transformation can be a little jarring" Dr Rao told him walking towards him with the needle.
"Dad, can we talk about this for a second" Warren said, this isn't what I want he told himself, I want to be a mutant, I want to take Peyton to the mutant school where she'll be safe. I want to be able to fly.
"We've talked about it son, it'll all be over soon" He father said sympathetically, he realized that this was hard for Warren.
Dr Rao wiped a spot on Warrens arm with a sterilizer. Warren gasped no, stop! Don't let them take my wings his head screamed.
"Everything is going to be fine" Warren's father told him trying to calm his son.
Dr Rao brought the needle to Warrens arm, she was about to give inject it but "Wait" Warren told her, she stopped and looked up at him. He turned to his father "I can't do this"
"Warren, calm down" His father said.
"No, I cant do this" he said trying to get out of the harnesses but the men who had done them up stood there keeping them shut as Warren tried to get free.
"Yes you can" His father told him.
"Ok just get me out" he said to the men but they weren't listening.
"Just relax son" His father said raising his voice a little. "Take it easy, calm down"
"No! I CAN'T DO THIS!" Warren screamed.
"I promise you it will be fine" His father said, disparately wishing that this wasn't happening. "Take it easy!"
"DAD!" Warren growled trying to get himself loose, he ripped his arms free from each mans grip, undid his harness, and hit the two men trying to restrain him. They were knocked backwards and fell to the floor. Warren stood there with his wings spread wide trying to catch his breath. He wasn't going to take orders from his father anymore. He was going to live his own life with Peyton. He was going to be happy.
"Warren it's a better life" His father told him, Warren said nothing so his father went on "It's what we all want"
"No, it's what you want" as soon as Warren said this it felt at if a huge weight had been lifted from him, for ten years he had wanted to say this to his father and now he finally had. He was free at last! And with that he turned and ran at the window.
"Warren, no!" His father screamed.
But it was too late Warren smashed through the window, spread his wings and flew. Higher and higher. The crowds below all looked up and pointed at the angel that was soaring through the sky. For the first time in his life he didn't care who saw his wings, in fact he wanted people to see them. He flew over the city, smiling and enjoying the sensation of the wind ruffling through his feathers.
He flew back to his father's apartment, he couldn't wait to see Peyton's face when she found out what he had done. He flew to the window and saw Peyton sitting on the couch. She had her back to the window and was stroking something. His moved a bit higher and saw it was one of his feathers. He smiled and watched her.
He flew down to the entrance. He ran through the foyer, past the people that lived in the apartments around him. They saw finally saw his wings, they finally knew the truth, and he finally didn't care.
Warren ran up the stairs and opened the door to his place quietly. He crept up behind Peyton who was still playing with the feather. Warren slowly opened his wings and put them around both him and Peyton, cocooning them.
Peyton gasped then realized what was happening she beamed and turned around, throwing her arms his neck. Warren laughed and hugged her around the waist. "I'm so proud of you!"
"Peyton, I think we should go to that Xavier guy's school" Warren told Peyton.
"When?" Peyton asked him with her cheek resting on his shoulder.
"Right now" Warren said, Peyton lifted her head and looked up at him, when she saw he was serious, a smile spread across her face.
"Ok" she whispered and kissed him. Warren smiled while he kissed her back. "Let's go" she said when the broke apart.
Warren took her by the hand and walked to the window, he opened it and let his wings out. He looked over and Peyton and saw she had hers out too. She smiled at him and jumped out the window and flew up into the sky and did a few circles while she waited for Warren to follow her. Warren jumped out the window and dropped down toward the ground then spread his wings and flew up to Peyton.
"How are we going to find this place?" Peyton asked.
"I've heard of it before, don't worry I know how to get there" Angel told her.
"How do you know about it?" she asked.
"I was going to run away and live there a few years ago" Warren clearly didn't want to talk about it so Peyton didn't press on about it. He flew off then yelled over his shoulder "Come on, I bet you that you can't catch me"
Peyton flew after him, laughing. They chased each other the whole way there. When they landed outside the school, it was nothing like what Peyton had imagined. She had thought that the students would be happy and running around and talking. But instead most students were walking alone, some were even crying.
Peyton looked at Angel but he just shrugged. They waked up to one boy who was on his own "Excuse me" Peyton said to him "Do you know where we could find Charles Xavier"
The boys face saddened and he said "Was he a friend of yours"
"Actually, no, we have never met him, but we were told that he can keep us safe here and that he helps mutants"
"Um, Professor Xavier has past away" The boy told them. "If you want to stay here you should talk to Storm"
"I'm so sorry" Peyton said.
"It's ok" The boy said "I'm Bobby"
"Warren, and this is Peyton"
"Nice to meet you, shall I take you to Storm?"
"Uh, sure"
They followed the boy down the hallway. The school was absolutely beautiful, Peyton was looking forward to exploring the place. The got to a door and Bobby stopped, Peyton had been looking around and accidentally bumped into him.
"Oh sorry" she said.
"No problem. Storm is in here" Bobby told them "I'll leave you guys to it then"
"Thank you" Warren called after him.
Warren nodded on the door and opened it. "Um, excuse me" he said. Inside the room a woman with white hair, a man with blue fur, and a man with and unusual hair cut looked up at him. "I heard that this was a safe place for mutants"
"It used to be son" Said the blue man.
The woman with white hair stood up and said "And it still is. My name is Storm. You are welcome here, both of you"
"Thank you" Peyton said "I'm Peyton and this is Warren"
"Well it's wonderful to meet you both" Storm said shaking both their hands. When she shook Peyton's, Storms hand became covered in ice.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" Peyton said.
"So you're an ice mutant?" Storm said "We have another boy here that has the same mutation"
"Actually I have no idea how I did that I- oh, I bumped into that boy outside, Bobby"
"Um, I'm sorry I don't understand" Storm said.
"Oh, you see, when ever I touch another mutant I get there powers and I accidentally walked into that boy outside the door, Bobby I think his name was" Peyton said.
Storm's eyes widened "Oh my God. You're the girl Hailey rescued"
"Yeah"
"I wish you could have met the professor" Storm said sadly "He really wanted to meet you"
"I'm sorry I didn't come sooner" Peyton felt a swell of guilt. Everyone in the room jumped as a bolt of lightening struck just outside the window. Peyton looked up shocked to see that black clouds had formed when only a few seconds ago it had been bright and sunny. Before Peyton could even try to figure out what was going on the clouds cleared almost instantly.
"Storm?" Logan said "Are you ok?"
"It wasn't me" Storm said and looked at Peyton.
"I'm sorry" Peyton said "I didn't – I didn't know…"
"It's ok," Storm said then smiled gently "I think we are going to have to work on you controlling your powers"
Peyton could tell this wasn't going to be easy living in a school with hundreds of other mutants. Over the next few days Peyton had surprised herself by accidentally levitating a cup off a high shelf in the kitchen, teleporting from the top to the bottom of the stairs, cutting her finger but having it heal up instantly, making a vase explode by looking at it, she heard voices and discovered she was reading peoples mind, she even transformed into Angel while she had been thinking about him. She couldn't figure out how she had changed into Angel until she realized that Mystique had choked her when she had been kidnapped which meant she got her transformation powers too. Needless to say things were getting complicated.
