This isn't who ah am

Chapter Three – Never thought that I could love….

She had always interested him. Whenever she was at the mansion she was different, she had taken the cure and stood up and admitted it. Most people would get it and move on, leaving every bit of their old, mutant life. But she had stuck with everyone, and she used to do many speeches and teach classes at the mansion, he had sat in many of them, just listening to her, watching her. She never knew.

"Ah took the cure, ah confess it, but it's nothin' ah'm ashamed of. Ah took it 'cause ah wanted it, not 'cause ah wanted ta please someone else, not 'cause ah had pressure of mah parents or mah friends. Ah took it 'cause ah needed it, ah lived a life where ah could never touch people. Constantly makin' sure ah'm completely covered up so not ta hurt the people 'round meh."

She stood at the front of an big class room with chairs going up in rows, like a small theatre. She was wearing a pair of jeans that were cut off so they were now shorts. Wearing a dark green t-shirt she looked like a normal teenage girl from Mississippi. She had a light tan that graced her skin and she was glowing in the sunlight that streamed through the windows of the room.

A kid put there hand up, she had bright green hair, that was long and curly and she wore a bright green t-shirt with a dark purple shirt over it.

Rogue saw and nodded over towards her direction, "Yeah Lorna?"

The girl cleared her throat, she was about the same age as Rogue, and Warren could tell that she was a brat from the way she held her head and just in general acted. He had grown up around many rich and famous people's children and knew what they were like.

"You gave up all that power?" Rogue nodded and the girl continued with a bewildered sound in her voice. "Just cause you couldn't touch anyone?" She nodded again, and knew where this conversation was going. The girl stood up and flipped her hair over her shoulder, she glanced around to Warren, and he looked at her very perplexed, how did she know he was there? She gave him a small smirk quickly before turning back round to face Rogue. Warren's gaze landed on her quickly, hoping she hadn't seen him either. "Well I can't wear a watch, but you don't see me giving up my powers do you?"

Rogue shook her head and looked down at her hands which were resting against the desk behind her. "Ah know Lorna, but ah guess ya can say ah was weak, ah just didn't think it would be much of a life if ah couldn't touch. Ah was never happy 'bout mah powers, unlike ya."

Lorna snorted and sat back into her seat, after she sat back down and she turned round and licked her lips whist looking at him, he just ignored her though, he was watching Rogue as a student asked her a question about why Magneto hadn't done anything, leading her to tell them about how he had "taken" the cure.

Warren knew Lorna's parent, well, he had heard about them, and he knows that his father and her parents work closely together. She was trying to impress him, and he just frowned and went back to studying Rogue.

Rogue looked around the class and spotted Lorna, she was twirling a lock of her hair through her fingers, Rogue rolled her eyes and knew she was only doing it to get some guys attention. She had done it loads when she used to hang around with Pyro. Rogue didn't like her, she was infatuated with power and sex. It was a well know fact that she and John used to be with each other. Rogue always knew it was just sex and power, mostly because John and she used to talk about it all the time.

She just felt sorry for the girlfriend of whoever Lorna was going for.

Her gaze never met the hidden Angel at the very back of the hall.

Taking a stack of paper from the shelf she turned around and lowered the heap onto her desk. She turned around and was about to step down from her chair when it spun and she lost balance. Doing a backwards jump she landed on the ground, crouching with her hands on the floor. She looked up and saw her chair slowing down and she stood up and brushed her clothes in case that little accident had left any marks.

Looking up from her clothes she jumped as she saw someone standing on the other side of her desk. She quickly sat down on her chair and acted like nothing had happened.

"Hello, welcome ta the Sony Tower, how may ah help ya?" she asked politely, laying on the southern charm as she found that was a good way to get men to actually listen to her. She looked up at the man through her eye lashes, which were dark and bold with mascara.

"Calvin Rankin, I'm here to meet with-" He stopped and looked down at his hand that was resting on the desk. He raised an eyebrow at it and then looked back down to Rogue who had tilted her head in a subtle, yet worried and curious manner. "With Mr Xorn."

Rogue looked down at her computer screen and took hold of the mouse, moving it over to the bottom of the screen and clicking on a file to open it from the taskbar. She squinted and then looked up at the man, she flashed him a courteous smile. "Okay, Mr Rankin, if ya just want ta sit over there, his assistant will be right down to get ya."

The man nodded but didn't move. He just continued to look down at his hand, which was laid flat on the surface, now upturned and closer to his face. Rogue's brow crinkled up and she was starting to get worried now, slowly she let her hand drift down to the hidden security button under the desk. She didn't press it, but she was being prepared.

The man looked up at her once more, and began to speak slowly to her, like she was a small child.

"I have the ability to take-on the powers of other mutants around me. Now with you, I can feel it, right under my skin," he slowly clenched his fist, as if to show the power inside, "But I can't get to it. It's almost like you have your powers, but there not there for you to use, or me for that matter."

Rogue's eyes widened with every word he said. Her hand lowered from the small round button and drifted up onto the desk in front of her.

"I've only had this feeling once before. A mutant, old friend of mine, only he was shoot with the cure a couple months before. Now, you wouldn't have taken it yourself would you?" He seemed like a man who was speaking the truth, and she didn't know why, but slowly she nodded. He smiled, showing his perfect teeth, and held out his hand to her.

"Mimic." He said quietly and Rogue hesitantly took his hand in hers.

"Rogue." She spoke softly, afraid her voice may break or crack from the pressure she felt on her chest.

"Nice to meet you, now if this meeting goes well, I may be staying in New York for awhile, how about me and you grab a cup of coffee after it and we talk 'bout out past, eh?" His voice was friendlier now, it held a casual and light tone to it, that comforted her. It was like he was talking to a close friend, not some woman he just met.

Rogue nodded and gave him a real smile, not one of the well-mannered, forced smiles she had to give everyone all day. "Ah'd lahke that."

"Good, well bye, God I could use a beer." This comment made Rogue freeze. Her first thought that rushed through her head was "Logan" but it couldn't be. He didn't see her halt in place, he had turned around and saw a woman walking out of the elevator and towards him.

He turned quickly to Rogue and gave her a small smile before meeting the woman half way and shaking her hand, then following her into the elevator.

As the metal doors shut, she let out a breath of air and relaxed back into her chair. Now that she had time to think about it, this guy reminded her of many different people, especially Warren. The blonde hair, the sky blue eyes, the strong, handsome features, the rich, suit wearing style. It was almost uncanny. She shook her head and ran a hand over her hair. She had seen Warren yesterday, he had kidnapped her almost. It was too strange to be real, she suddenly had a flash that it was Mystique, it would explain how he knew about her powers and why he was so quick to make friends and how much he looked like Warren. Maybe Mystique was losing her imagination.

But when she thought about it more, she realised that Mystique had the cure forced upon her like Magneto did. Sighing she realised that many people looked like that, she was in New York for crying out loud.

Calming herself down she remembered the paper she had gotten down, she filed through the first two sheets and got a stapler and punched them together. She did this for the next two hours, before Calvin, or Mimic, came down from the elevator and as the doors opened he walked out swiftly and stopped at her desk.

"Five, you ready to go?"

Rogue smiled up to this man, he had a massive grin on his face and look as if he had just been given a million dollars. But she rethought that, in this building, in a meeting with Mr Xorn, he most likely did just get offered a million dollars, probably even more then that.

"Yeah, ah just need ta sign out an' shove these in a draw for tomorrow."

"Good. I'll wait here." He sat down on one of the leather chairs in the entrance of the building, Rogue took one last look at him, he was staring out the glass doors and stroking his little goatee. She smirked and grabbed her papers and put them all in the draw by her feet and quickly walked out a side door.

A minute later she walked out with her bag and a pair of trainers, rather then the high healed shoes she had on before.

Calvin stood up and opened the door for her, she walked through it, him not far behind her, and she stopped just outside.

"So how'd the meetin' go?"

"Perfect. All I had to do was slip in a couple jokes about the French and he was practically signing every bit of paper he could get his hands on." He wrapped an arm around Rogue's waist to guide her to the coffee house he saw.

"The French, huh?" Calvin gave a curt nod, "Ah never thought a big high up manager for Sony would be so.. .. racist against the French."

Calvin laughed, it was a warm, heart filled laugh that made Rogue's heart feel snug, for lack of a better word. Rogue pointed out a coffee shop and Calvin nodded and the walked a bit faster to that one. As they got in, they both sat on one of the small tables by the windows, Calvin called over a waitress, who didn't look pleased at being summoned.

"Yeah, if you wanna complain or order, the counters there." She pointed at it with her thumb, over her shoulder.

Giving a sweet smile, Calvin took the ladies hand and apologised.

"That's okay, sir, seeing as I'm over here anyway, what would you two like?"

Rogue raised an eyebrow at the woman's change of attitude, she ordered a decaf and when the woman left, Rogue gaped at the man in front of her.

"What did ya do? Charm her or something?" She knew he was a mutant after all, what kind of powers did he have? Apart from "mimic"-ing mutants powers.

Shaking his head proudly, he stuck out his chest a little bit. "Nope, just slipped her some money, simple really."

Shaking her head, Rogue smiled and her coffee arrived, she took the lid off and began to run her finger over the rim of the paper cup.

"So, you've heard 'bout my powers, now what 'bout yours? I'm guessing.. .. Something skin wise?" He spoke slowly, as if summarizing something.

Rogue frowned, but nodded anyway. "Yeah, when ah touched people, their energy, thoughts, if mutants, their powers. Ah'd get them for a little while."

Calvin nodded and took a sip of his coffee and licked his lips after. "Past tense. So you took the cure."

As if feeling the need to, Rogue took a sip of her coffee as well, she nodded before gulping down the small amount of hot liquid in her mouth before it burnt her tongue. "Ah couldn't control mah powers."

The man ran a hand through his blonde hair, which made a chill run up Rogue's spine, he did it just like Warren did yesterday.

"So you couldn't touch anyone. Bummer." He looked around the café as if looking for someone, then his eyes landed on Rogue again.

"Yeah, so what 'bout you? Ah know bout ya powers, but what bout you?"

"Not much to tell really. I run a small business, very successful one though, I'm twenty seven, currently looking for an apartment in New York as of ten minutes ago." He let go of his gentle hold on the paper cup, and took of his suit jacket and stood up, hanging it on the back of his chair. A small sign that Rogue knew meant he wanted to stay here for awhile, he was getting himself comfortable.

"Sounds nice. Ah'm just a twenty year old receptionist." Rogue exclaimed, she didn't really know what else to say, she was never good at the whole socializing thing.

Calvin picked up on this, he knew that her powers, and her lack of control, must have made her constantly on guard and never letting people get close. He decided to change the mood of the conversation.

"See that woman over there." He spoke in a hushed voice and motioned his head to the table across from them. A black haired woman had her back to them, and across from her was a short haired man. Rogue nodded and raised an eyebrow. Calvin smiled and continued. "She can control liquid, look."

Rogue did again, and saw that the woman was holding her cup of coffee and it was stirring itself. It looked like a tiny whirlpool in her cup, Rogue turned back to Calvin, he was smiling, and she smiled back. She had to admit it was a cool power, sensing other mutants. Calvin motioned for her too look down at his cup with his eyes, and she did, she saw him doing the same thing as the woman to his coffee as well. Her smile widened and she let out a small laugh. The man looked so pleased with himself and like he was concentrating really hard, the tip of his tongue was touching his two front teeth. As he looked up at Rogue and let go of his cup, Rogue watched as the dark liquid slowed down swirling until it was still.

She looked up at him and back down at the coffee quickly, then back to his light, bright blue eyes. "Wow."

He kept smiling and gave her a brisk nod. "Thanks."

"So if ya were 'round a mutant that could, I dunno, turn into metal, you could turn into metal too?" She asked, trying to be subtle, but he could tell that she wasn't making that exemplary mutant up.

Nodding he said, "Yep, but if they moved so far away, I wouldn't be able too."

"Wow. That's.. .. cool." She seemed so amazed by his powers. He wasn't sure why, because he wasn't the strongest mutant ever, and by the sounds of her powers, she had similar powers to his, only she needed to be in contact. "So it doesn't hurt the other person?"

He shook his head. "Nope, not that I know of." The conversation came to a stand still again. They both took a sip of coffee and he watched her look out the window at the people walking by. After a couple minutes of just watching her and holding his coffee cup to his mouth he lowered it and asked her a question. A question that made Rogue snap her head round, causing her hair to flip over her shoulder and to cause her mouth to gap open and her eyes to widen and stare at him with shock written all over her face.

"Do you know where West Chester is?"

Slowly she tilted her head and spoke quickly and rushed, "What did you say?" she was virtually hissing now.

He cautiously repeated his question. "West Chester. I've been told to go down there by a friend, wants me to drop into a school, see the people running it."

"Xavier's?"

Calvin smiled and nodded his head. "Yeah, school for mutants, well a friend of mine, his little sister goes there. Wants me to check in on her."

"Yeah, ah used ta go there. Ah could show ya sometime, but right now ah need ta go." Rogue started to get up and open her bag, she pulled some money out and put it on the table. She was about to leave but Calvin took hold of her hand lightly, and spoke to her.

"Bye, Rogue. I hope to see you around, okay." Rogue nodded her head and he dropped her hand. She opened the door and started to walk hurriedly to the right of the café. When she got out of sight of the coffee shop, she looked down at her hand, the one which he had taken hold of, and saw a business card in it. It had his name, phone number, email and company address on it. She smiled at it and slipped it into her trousers pocket and continued her way home.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Ororo stood at the front of the briefing room; the giant silver table was empty and had everyone sitting around it. Hank was to her right, Logan to her left, and Bobby, Kitty, Peter and Warren were sitting around them.

She sat down once everyone was comfortable and rested her hands on the table in front of her. "As you all know we're here to discuss our new student, Rahne. She's shown interest in becoming an X-man and I want us all to discuss what we think."

Logan growled and started to speak, "She's only useful in wolf form, if put in a case where she couldn't use her powers she'd be fuc-"

Ororo cut him off before he could finish. "Yes, I think we get the picture. What about you four," she said looking at the four younger ones. "You've worked with her in the danger room, do you think she'd be able to cope if the situation occurred?"

Some of them nodded and Warren started to talk, all of them looked at him as he did. "When she is in her red wolf form, or even half way wolf human form, she cannot understand what we say. The only way to communicate with her is before she morphs or after. If we needed to tell her something she'd need to be in human form, which she won't be, because she needs to be in wolf form to be able to fight."

Everyone nodded and Ororo, "Okay, so no to her being an X-man then?" Everyone nodded, "Yeah, but she'd be a really good X-man to have, her powers lead her to have enhanced senses of hearing, sight, and smell, animal-like strength, agility, and reflexes, but how would she be part of the team if she can't communicate with us and us to her?"

Kitty spoke up, "What if we could telepathically communicate with her? Wouldn't that work, because her mind is still the same, just her understanding and body form?"

"Yes, that is true, but how would we do that? No one here has the power of telepathy, unless anyone's developed the power recently." Beast spoke up and put his glasses on as he took the file Ororo held, one which contained all the information about Rahne.

Ororo nodded, "True, it's just that we are in desprate need of another team member. Ever since Rogue left.. .." She didn't continue, she sensed how everyone tensed up and she changed the subject. "Sunspot?"

Everyone nodded and Bobby, Logan, Kitty and Beast talk about the good points and good things about Roberto. Warren just nodded absent minded and just looked at his hands resting on the cold, smooth table surface.

Ororo noticed this and after everyone else left she asked him to stay behind. He leaned against the door way and folded his arms over his chest. "What do you want 'Ro?"

She walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder, he looked away and frowned. "Warren, you can't go on like this."

Warren rolled his eyes and pushed his shoulder forward, causing Ororo to let her hand fall from it, "I'm just upset about my father, Storm, I have to take over the business now, things are just a little stressful." He was about to walk away when he looked down the hall and saw Bobby and Kitty give each other a brief kiss before heading off in different directions. He leaned back into the room and growled.

Bobby had everything. He had a girlfriend that loved him dearly, a best friend who helped him out when ever he needed it, his family had come to the mansion a couple months ago, claiming they all still loved him and they were all so proud of him for saving the world and they had all made up. He even used to have Rogue. After she took the cure, she and Bobby continued their long term relationship, starting with all the things they never could do before. Warren hated watching them all around the mansion, kissing each other constantly, always laughing and when ever Warren wanted to just watch a movie, or be alone, they were always there, being so close, showing him what he didn't have.

He had thought it was just because he didn't want to see two love sick teenagers practically have sex in front of him, but one day, he realised it was because he loved her. And he was just jealous that he hadn't got there first.

He first heard them laughing together from outside and down the hall. He rolled his eyes and his line of vision landed on the television again. It was the monthly movie outing, so a Logan, Ororo and Beast had taken all the students to the movies, whist the young adults stayed at home.

He was watching the news and trying to enjoy the peace and quite that the mansion usually was like when all the youngsters left. Soon thought a blushing Rogue and laughing Bobby walked into the room, instantly stopping what they were doing when they saw Warren sitting on the sofa, watching the screen.

"Hey, Warren." Bobby greeted him and turned back to Rogue.

He nodded to him, as if to acknowledge them as well.

Rogue giggled as Bobby whispered something in her ear and moved her to go and sit with him on the sofa, next to Warren. She was in the middle of both men, but Bobby had his arm around her and was holding both her hands in his.

She turned and smiled to Warren, she didn't really like him, he was still a bastard to her, but she felt the need to be nice to him, after disturbing his peace.

"Hey, sorry to bother ya. What ya watchin'?" She was looking at him, but he didn't return the gaze as he answered, just continued to stare at the screen, listening to the news and if anything interesting was on it today.

"No, it's fine, really, I am just watching the news." He replied in a neutral, very bored and unconvincing voice.

Rogue nodded to herself and turned to look at the screen, "Oh." Warren felt a wave of guilt at how mean he just was to her, she really hadn't done anything wrong.

"Anything good?" Bobby spoke up, Warren shook his head, he wasn't sure if that was his answer or his reaction to how stupid that question was. It's the news, if it was anything good, it wouldn't really be the news would it? The only reason people watch the news is so they can see how bad things are in other places they don't care about and then feel good about their own life.

"No, just the usual. Flooding in one place, drought in another and the same old murderer who escaped from prison." Rogue let out a small laugh at Warren's dead pan tone, and she felt Bobby hold her closer to him.

Bobby didn't know why, but he didn't like the way his girlfriend was laughing at Warren's sarcastic comment. He guessed it was because the other week he had seen Rogue leave his room late at night and an hour later, come back with a glass of water and muttering Warren's name in an annoyed way, but he still couldn't help but get jealous. The guy was practically the perfect man in the world, rich, famous, attractive and right next to her.

She looked over at him and wondered what the sudden cause of protectiveness and ownership was for. She was met with a light kiss which very quickly heated up into something more. She let out a small but audible moan, she swiftly moved back from Bobby's kisses and glanced over at Warren, he was still just watching the news, she looked back to Bobby and gave him a look that clearly said, "We're not alone!"

Bobby laughed at this and bought her back towards his body and spoke softly to her, "Warren doesn't mind, do you?"

As if answering the question, Warren stood up and left the room, saying something about there not being anything good on TV anyway.

As he left he saw Bobby pull Rogue on top of him and her smiling down onto him. He growled and stormed out of the room and into the kitchen where he opened a locked cupboard by pressing his thumb onto a small finger-scanning pad on the bottom corner of the door. It only took a second, but a light flashed and a little green light blinked and the lock clicked open and he grabbed the handle and quickly took a beer out of the cabinet and opened it.

He took a big gulp out of it and turned around and saw Kitty sitting on one of the high stools with a spoon and a half empty tub of ice cream. She gave him a small Kitty like smile and motioned for him to join her with her spoon. He did and graciously sat on the stool and took another swig of the beer.

"The two love birds get you as well?" She was a small girl, Rogue and Bobby's age he guessed, still young, he was twenty-three and the rest of them were only nineteen.

He nodded and glared angrily at the bottle of beer. "See I understand why I'm angry and eating sympathy ice cream. But why are you angry and trying to drown your self with alcohol?" He growled and turned his glare up to the girl on the other side of the kitchen counter. He saw a flash of realisation cross her face and her eyes widened. "You like her?"

Warren winced and had a look of disgust written on his face, "What? No!" he exclaimed.

Kitty's mouth fell, "Oh sorry." She took another scoop of ice cream and popped the spoon in her mouth, when she went to scoop another spoon full and looked up to him. She took the spoon full of caramel colored ice cream and offered it out to him. He gave a weak smile and shook his head lightly.

"Ice cream and beer don't go well."

Kitty nodded and took the tub and walked to the French doors that went outside to the patio, before she left, she turned to Warren and said something he never would have thought was coming.

"Ironic really, it's ice I want, just not this kind." She said, lifting the tub and walked through the closed glass doors, most likely to get the sun outside melt the ice food quicker.

Warren's forehead crinkled up and he smirked. So the little kitten was in love with the ice man. No wonder she was eating her own weight in ice cream, seeing Bobby and Rogue constantly touching and being together when you wanted to be the one in that person's arms, instead of the other person, it must be hard.

His thoughts travelled back to what she said about him liking Rogue, he cringed again and took another swig of his beer. How dare she? He hated Rogue, he just didn't want to see Bobby kissing her like that all the time, no one wanted to see it. He remembered the smile that Rogue gave Bobby just before he left and wondered what it would be like if she was smiling at him like that rather then Bobby. He shook his head at that thought, and went up to get himself another beer. He liked Bobby, he was a friend, one that he went out with a lot, and he knew that Bobby loved Rogue, but he just didn't like her. She was so happy and didn't belong here, she wasn't a mutant anymore, she gave up any right she had to be here when she gave up her powers. He suddenly realised how childish he was being, that wasn't what this place was. It was a place for gifted youngsters, not just mutants. And he had to admit, rogue had become very good with self defence and protecting herself and others. And not just that, she was a very passionate speaker and very good at English and Science, she even helped down in the Med Bay with Hank, now that Jean was gone.

She was a great asset to the mansion and the X-men. But he couldn't help but think about the way she looked as well, she was beautiful, anyone who wasn't deaf, blind and foolish would know that. And he wasn't blind, deaf or foolish. She held an elegant and traditional presence, he guessed because of her southern upbringing, but she was smart and not naïve like some of the girls that were in the mansion.

He reflected on the notion that he liked Rogue, he almost laughed but a feeling told him that was inappropriate. Sure she was smart, good looking and accepted him as a mutant, everything he really looked in a girl, but it was a stupid idea, he hated Rogue, he hated that she's better then everyone else, he hated that she's so loving and caring to everyone and he hated the way she still picks at her hands, even though she doesn't wear gloves or anything. He hated the gap she has in between her two front teeth and he hated that she took the cure and how she gave up her powers just for a guy.

He paused. It suddenly struck him. The only reason he was angry at her for giving up her powers for Bobby, was because it was for Bobby. The thought that she had given them up for herself seemed to settle in well with him. And the thought that she had given them up for him made his breath catch in his throat and his heart stop.

Everything made sense, or at least things were falling into a right sort of order. How could he notice or care about her teeth unless he was constantly staring at her to notice, or her involuntary habit to pick at her hands, unless he watched her do it all the time.

The feelings he were feeling were not those of hate, but of love. He began too look around the room as if someone was standing there, in case someone had heard his thoughts. But no one was around. He ran a hand through his hair and shoved the untouched bottle of beer back into the fridge.

He needed time to think, and the only time he could ever think clear was when he was flying. He opened the French doors and stood out into the patio, he saw Kitty on the floor, still eating her ice cream and looking at the water fountain. She crooked her head to look at him.

"Sure you don't want any ice cream?" Kitty asked him, with a knowing smile gracing her lips. Warren gave a small smile and whispered a silent 'no' to her, before unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off. He put it on a bench and was about to take off when he heard Kitty say.

"I'll put your shirt back in your room, I hope the air clears your head Angel."

Smiling to himself he thought about how great it would be if Kitty was with Bobby not Rogue. Maybe then he would have a chance with her.

He shook the thought out of his mind and pushed off of the flat ground into the air, where he flew around for a couple of hours, before returning and leaving very shortly after, to go to the pub with Logan, Hank and Peter, who had just turned twenty-one, but didn't drink anyway, just like Hank. He wondered if drinking would help him forget his feelings, I seemed to work with Logan.. ..

He remembered that day well. The day he realised he was in love with a girl that he had just seconds ago hated.

He looked back from the memory, into the warm brown eyes of the goddess standing in front of him.

She had a motherly expression on her face and even though she was small then him, so she had to look up to face him, she still held a leadership and powerful presence about her. Her voice was still calm and gentle as she spoke it him.

"We both know this isn't just about your father, Warren. You still love her and seeing her the other day has not helped any matters, if anything it's made them worse. You can not go on wondering and being unsure. You have to either, want her and go tell her or forget her and move on." Her voice was strong, yet not over powering or pushy, she knew what had to be said, she knew that he had to make a choice. "If you keep on being like this, then we will have to take your place on the team into more consideration."

Ororo walked out of the room and down to the elevator which went back up to the higher levels and waited for it to arrive and open for her. Warren looked up at the ceiling before quickly jogging over to Ororo, the metal door swirled open and both of them stepped into it.

As the doors swirled shut he look straight at them and spoke.

"I will tell her. But not right now. After I have sorted out my fathers company."

"How long will that take Warren?"

"A few weeks. I will fly out to San Francisco tomorrow." The swirling door curved open and both of them stepped out into the main hall of the school. Warren walked straight to his room, and Ororo watched him. She sighed and turned and saw Peter walking up the hall, he was watching Warren walk down the hall.

Ororo nodded, wondering how long it would take him to stop being so stubborn and putting things off like he always did.
