I OBVIOUSLY OWN NOTHING!
Scorch got off of Pyro, ran outside and started to kiss the ground.
"LAND...SWEET LAND!" She shouted in relief, grasping bits of grass in her hands. Storm, Bobby, John and Rogue came off next and every one except John was looking at her like she was mad because he had an appointment with the vomit fairy. She got up and walked over to John who was next to a Pine Tree, puking his guts out. "Hey John, you okay?" She asked wearily, crouching next to him, rubbing his back.
"Yeah...I'll be fine, I just don't fly we-" He was going to say he doesn't fly well, till he started being sick again. Scorch pulled a bottle of water out of her Madina Lake Hoodie and handed it to Pyro. "Thanks...I bet I look really hot now." He joked and drank some of the water. He stood up to his normal height and looked around. "Where the hell are we anyway?"
"Some place in the woods, but I think we're going to be headed fore somewhere in Canada I think, not to sure myself." She replied, now standing up herself."...You feeling better?"
"Yeah...though now I'm really hungry" He complained, clutching his now empty stomach.
"Here have a pretzel" She said, pulling a bag of pretzels from what was probably a sports bra, with a genuine grin on her face.
"...That is seriously disturbing, have you had those in your bra the whole time since the mansion, that means that a packet of pretzels has gotten further than I have with you...I don't even want to think where else your hiding more edible stuff!?" He joked seriously and draped his arms around her waist.
"I only have a couple of munchies left, I have a lolly-pop in my shoe, a cinnamon swirl in the hoodie and a mars bar in my bra." She said completely serious and looked at John's expression. "Hey don't look at me like that, I always keep food around to binge on when I'm nervous...and those pretzels came in handy just now when you were being sick."
"I know, your unbelievable." She gave him an evil look. "Hey calm down, I meant in the good way, thank you for the kind offering of the pretzels." He leaned down to kiss her, only to find that his face was being pushed away by Scorch's hand.
"EWW no way you have sick breath, brush your teeth or something first dude, I mean come on." She said playfully and started running away from him, he chased after her quickly, and though she was fast, she wasn't fast enough. Inevitably, it ended up her being tackled by him. "John you have some sort of fetish with knocking people to the ground I swear."
"Nope, just you babe...If I remember rightly this is how we first met." He said, realising they were both still on the damp grassy floor.
"Oh yeah, so it is." She smiled and leaned in for a kiss before pulling back again. "I'm sorry Pyro but your breath is rank...No offence but what did you eat?" She grabbed his jaw and opened his mouth, while the other hand was retrieving a polo from the pocket of her jeans. She popped it in his mouth. " There that's so much better." Pyro rolled his eyes and Scorch grabbed the back of his head and they finally kissed after 3 previous attempts. They carried on like this for the next 5 to 10 minutes, just lying on the floor kissing...Until Bobby came over.
"AHEM" Bobby coughed, waiting for them to stop, and eventually, they did.
" 'Sup Ice Vagina?" She asked sweetly, sitting up so her knees were pulled up to her chest, John stood up and started laughing lightly at his girlfriend's wit.
"Umm Storm said we have to get the tents set up...Yeah...I'll be off now." He said awkwardly and walked away. John offered his hand to Scorch and pulled her up.
"I suppose I'll go and set up mine and Rogue's tent, I'll see you later." She kissed him quickly and walked off in the direction of Rogue, who was struggling with the pegs. Scorch had no intentions of trying to help her and just sat down and watched her.
"Umm ya'll wanna help." Rogue asked bluntly.
"No thanks, I'm good just sitting here thanks." Scorch replied and gave her the most sarcastic grin she could.
"Look I'm sorry about John okay, but I had to do it, He was hurting people." Rogue explained.
"No he was trying to clear a path and protect me...Did you not see me freaking out back there, and it's not like any one died...You know what, you were gripping his ankle so tight, you probably would have held on till he died if I hadn't pushed you off him." She spat at her. "And you know what, just go and sit down, you're gonna take an hour before you get this right." She shoved Rogue out of the way with her shoulder and got on with setting up the tent. 10 minutes later Scorch was finished and walked into the tent laid down on one of the sleeping bags and sighed, fell asleep and waited till morning.
It was 5:30 am when Jean woke everyone up and Scorch wasn't the slightest bit impressed and expressed her opinion by throwing a pillow at Dr. Gee, muttering curses and complaining that she was having a great dream about Humphrey the Purple Unicorn and having a meeting with the King Of Chocolate on the Candy Floss Cloud.
By 6 every one was on board and they were heading for Alkali Lake, Canada. Scorch sat down next to Pyro on the side bench and started playing with her own lighter. Rogue and Bobby were complaining about not having their own X-Uniforms and Mystic and Magneto were whispering about something.
" We love what you've done with you're hair." Magneto said to Rogue, sarcastically, Scorch snickered at this and went back to her lighter. Rogue looked pissed, took her glove off but before she could do anything, Bobby dragged her away, making Scorch snicker again.
"So, They say you're the bad guy." John said to Magneto, more of a question than an actual statement.
"Is that what they say?" He replied, as if asking if that's what John thought himself. John nodded and looked towards the helmet.
"It's a dorky looking helmet. What's it for?" John asked.
"This dorky-looking helmet is the only thing that'll protect me from the real bad guys." He explained, holding his had out, and making both Pyro and Scorch's lighters come to his open palm, he held them both next to each other.
"What's your name?" He asked John, looking down at the flames.
"John" He replied bluntly, also looking down at his lighter.
"What's your real name John? He asked looking directly into his eyes. John made the flame come to him and dance on his palm.
"Pyro" He said looking down at the flame.
"Quite a talent you have there Pyro." He stated
"I can only manipulate the fire." Pyro said disappointed and extinguished the flame. "I can't create it." He looked back up.
"You are a God among insects. Never let anyone tell you different." He said, handing him back the lighter.
"I've been telling him that since the day I met him." Scorch said smiling.
"And you dear, what do they call you." He asked, making her lighter levitate back to her.
"People call me Scorch, for the same reason people call John, Pyro." She said, demonstrating by making the flame dance in the air before killing it.
"You are both talented, I'm just glad that one of you can see it." He said, leaning back in his chair and turning back to Mystic and crossing his arms.
About half an hour later, Storm had set up plans of how to get into the Dam, where they were keeping Quin and the others. John was sitting back in one of the chairs with his arms stretched above his head, gripping onto the headrest. Scorch was way on the other side of the Jet, not really paying that much attention.
"Okay, how do we get Quin and the others out?" Scorch finally said, marching up to Storm.
"You aren't doing anything to get them out, you're staying here." Storm said sternly.
"Oh My God! That is complete and utter Bull Shit, I am the closest thing Quin has to a family so I'm going after him whether you like it or not!" Scorch practically screamed at her.
Before any more could be said, John came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her trying to calm her down, she reached for the cinnamon swirl in her pocket and started ripping at it with her teeth furiously.
The adults started to leave, leaving the teenagers alone in the Jet. About an hour went by and still no one came, the GPS started flickering and Scorch was sat between John's legs, taking part of the flame from his lighter and started playing with it. John snapped his lighter shut suddenly.
"That's it." He said frustrated, getting up. He reached over Rogue and Bobby and flicked the switch that made the stairway drop down. Scorch put out the flame and got up to.
"Well it's about time you did something spontaneous! I thought you were going to do something like this half an hour ago...Let's go." Scorch exclaimed and grabbed John's hand.
"Where do you think you're going?" Bobby said, trying to be the leader...again.
"I'm sick of this kid's table shit, I'm going in there." He explained, grabbing his Jacket.
"John they told us to stay here." Rogue pointed out.
"No shit Sherlock" Scorch said sarcastically, pulling her hoodie over her head.
"You always do as you're told?" John asked her, not expecting an answer, who now had the jacket on. The two couples just stared at each other. They made their way down the steps and started walking towards Magneto's helicopter.
Half way there John just stopped, turned around and looked at Scorch.
"You sure about this?" He asked her.
"Pyro, you remember that pact we made like, yesterday...Wherever you go I go, so yeah, I'm coming with you...Also, what gives the X-Geeks the right to tell me not to go after someone I love like a brother...I just hope Quin'll be okay." She said reassuring him with a smile.
"Yeah Quin'll be okay, he may be a squirt, but he's got a kick ass power." He laughed carrying on walking, hand in hand.
10 minutes later an ear splitting screech came buzzing in their ears, they both fell to the floor, gasping in pain. Scorch crawled over to Pyro and held him in a hug, they both gripped on to each other for dear life and placed their foreheads against each others. The screeching ended about 30 seconds later and the both sat up gasping for air, it was Scorch that broke the Ice.
"Whoa dude what a trip." She said, both of them still gasping for air. A few minutes later John got up brushed some of the snow off him and pulled Scorch up too.
"You okay?" He asked with real concern in his eyes.
"Yeah I'm good...Lets go." She assured him. He started to walk and before he knew it, he had a Scorch on his back.
"What are you doing." He asked, smiling.
"Asking for a piggy back." She replied also smiling. He shook his head and carried on walking in the direction of the chopper. Fifteen minutes later, they got there just in time, they just stood on a higher up rock and waited for them to notice they were there, and they did. Scorch and Pyro ran over to the 'copter and climbed up. The helicopter took flight and Magneto walked over to them.
"You two...Welcome To The Brother Hood"
