Sovereign-Chapter 2
-A few hours later-
"Ada?" I heard a voice cut through the silence of the library. I trembled slightly at the shock of finding I wasn't alone, and turned around to see Bobby Drake, his ice blue eyes glinting at me. I looked away as I felt the tug of tears against my eyes…those eyes reminded me so much of Wanderer, even though Wanderer had those beautiful eyes the color of cinnamon.
"Ada?" the boy spoke again, and I looked up from my book and into his cold eyes. I could feel lust emanating from his body, so strong that there was almost a red aura around him. I held my hand to my head as a headache of strong emotions and his thoughts…ok, bad mental picture…don't want to see that. Then a memory just flooded over my mind…an image from when I'd been about 11, I had been with the group for a few years.
"Just breathe, Sovereign, your powers are linked to the emotions you have as well. You can control strong emotion if you just breathe without having to force the other person to shut it off by breathing and pushing it into its place." A tall boy with a strong aura even though he was only 14 years old spoke these words. He seemed to know what he was saying…He seemed almost all knowing, as if he could travel into your mind and extract your thoughts.
"I've tried Perry," An auburn haired girl replied. She was the opposite of him. She seemed just 11 years old, but the way she spoke even when she was just saying something simple was beyond her years. She was beautiful, long auburn hair falling all the way to her waist tied into a braid, and the most exotic eyes…green on black, the mark of her mutation. She had her hands to her temples and on her face was a pained expression, as if she were having a migraine.
"Try again, Lynnie. I know you can do this," The girl was able to sense and control emotion. She felt the waves of lust emanating from his body. It took 10 minutes of the girl in intense pain, but she finally got control of the headache. The emotion was pushed into position just like every other non-extreme. The extreme was not giving her a headache, but she could still sense it Her body relaxed.
"Good," he breathed, gathering her into a brotherly hug. She squealed and hugged him back, so joyful that she had finally done what she had always thought impossible.
I took a deep breath, thinking about that memory, not concentrating on the extreme, finally feeling the extreme click back into its place.
"Thanks for the mental picture, Drake," I said sarcastically, smirking at him and watching him blush.
"How…How'd you…" he sputtered, trying to form a coherent sentence amidst embarrassment.
"You were emitting an extreme, or an emotion that is overpowering all the other emotions. I hear and see any thoughts that are going through your head at that point. Bit of advice for you: Don't let your emotions out around one of the most powerful empaths ever, and the only one who can sense and control urges, or she will sense them and who knows? Maybe she'll stop your urge to eat…or maybe to drink. That wouldn't be helpful after a danger room session, now would it? Not being able to get a drink of water even though you're SO thirsty…" I smirked at him, and left him to contemplate what I had said, heading back to the room Rogue and I shared. Rogue and Remy should be coming home from their movie soon, so better get in the room before I walk in on something I REALLY don't want to see.

-The next day-
"So what were y' and Remy's chére talkin about?" my brother asked me after we had been sparring. He had won this time, and we were just resting on a cliff overlooking a lake. I sighed and looked away, tears threatening to force me to break my promise to the one I loved.
"Ada…please tell Remy, Porquoi Je t'aime, mon soeur. Je t'aime pour toujours,"
"I love you, Ada. I love you forever," his voice mixed with the voice of Wanderer in my mind, creating a vortex of both French and English, both brotherly and romantic love, the voices of the two men I will love forever. Remy has a right to know about me. He had every right to know. He was my brother, my only blood family, even though my real family died a short time ago, Rogue, Remy, and the X-Men were my only family now. I needed to open up to my brother. Not just to his girlfriend who was my best friend, but my true brother.
"Are you ready for a long story of love, loss, learning, and tears that occurred over 7 years of my life?" I asked him, and he put his arms around me lightly, holding me close as if I were a small child who had gone through too much in a short time, and in truth, that's what I was, save for the small child part.
"Remy is ready for anything y' say, mignonne," he assured me, and I took comfort in his voice, only pausing to calm the headache his extreme compassion was causing. I relayed the story I had told to Rogue, not allowing myself to cry when I told him about how much I loved, and my only love's last words…everything that had happened to me, why my tears fell short of my eyes when I am upset and wanting to personify my feelings in a crystal stream from my eyes, but instead keep a promise that I made to true love. True love only comes once in life, and I was so fortunate to have found it at a young age…but so unfortunate to have found it in one who would die and leave me alone before he was even 18. Love was the strongest of the emotions; the most prominent. I felt it whenever Rogue and Remy were together, the extreme giving me the worst headache I had ever had, let alone when Wanderer and I were together. I snuggled closer to my brother, feeling the warmth of his body as a comfort of the pain I was feeling. His mind was emitting only compassion, only love.
"Je t'aime, mignonne. Je t'aime." He said, unable to form a coherent sentence in English or even much of a response in French, just to tell me that he loved me. And I loved him too.
"Je t'amie aussi, Remy,"
