And now we were going to 'talk.' What did that mean?
"Basically, we know nothing about you, so we just wanted to know if you're going to literally burn down the room if you have a nightmare." Warren said.
I started laughing. Here I was, thinking they were going to lecture me about something, and all they want is to make sure I don't burn the room down.
"Seriously, John almost did that once." Spiro said. "If Bobby hadn't frozen everything, we would have died."
"Instead we just had a freezing cold room for the next five days." Warren pointed out.
"Hey, I'm sorry!" Bobby said, "But I wasn't that good with my powers back then. Now I could freeze the room, and then fix it. Back then, I could only freeze it."
"You were always having to fix John's mistakes." Spiro said.
They all fell silent, and I remembered that John/Pyro had gone over to Magneto's side. I wondered if he and Bobby had fought before that happened. I decided not to ask, though. "Well, I won't do any of that. I guess I might turn into a Griffin, but nothing would really happen, I mean, I wouldn't kill you." I assured them.
"Good." Bobby said, "And a few basic ground rules. Please no PDA in here, if I'm trying to read, I don't like to see people kissing on the other bed."
"Hypocrite." Warren muttered.
"That was once, before we had the rule." Bobby said, refusing to blush. "Anyway, the bathroom is through that door," he pointed to a door on the wall that I hadn't noticed before. "If you're taking a shower, remember that other people need to use the bathroom, too. Don't leave a mess on the floor," He glared at Warren. "If you shed any feathers, since I hear you can have wings, please dispose of them, and not leave them to clog up the shower."
"Bobby, I was molting." Warren protested.
I gulped, trying not to picture that. "Er, yeah, okay."
"Basically, follow the regular dorm room etiquette." Bobby finished.
"Don't worry, he lectured me, too." Spiro stage-whispered to me. "He's paranoid."
Bobby rolled his eyes, and stood up. "I'm going to go see Rogue, now."
Spiro snickered, and got a face full of ice. "What?" He protested. "It was a cough."
Bobby walked out the door with a laugh.
Sam's POV:*Flashback*
We sat on the bench in the courtyard, the sun setting below the trees.
"Isn't it pretty?" Logan asked me.
I nodded. "It'd be nice if it was always sunset. The plain blue sky seems kind of dull."
"We'd think that this sky was dull, too, if we saw it all the time." Logan pointed out.
I smiled. "Maybe."
"If you wanted to, I bet you could move the sun." Logan said. "Lift it back up into the sky so we would always have dawn and then sunset, the sky always beautiful."
I laughed. "Logan, I'm not that powerful."
"You never know." He wrapped an arm around me. "Have you ever tried to move the sun?"
I shook my head, smiling.
"Hey, maybe that can be your codename!" Logan said.
"What?" I asked.
"Dawn." He said. "Because you could make it dawn all the time."
"Logan, Dawn's a girly name." I said. "And you know I don't like girly names. I changed my name from Samantha to Sam because of that."
"Warren got stuck with 'Angel.'" Logan pointed out. "Dawn's surely better than Angel."
"I guess so." I pulled him into a hug. "Dawn it is, then."
