A/N: Thanks to the guests who helped me realize that my fourth chapter got all messed up! Thanks for the reviews and reading my story:)
We sat there for a while, sitting in silence. I don't know what it is about him but I feel like I could just sit for hours. Suddenly the guarded look crossed his face again and I turned around.
"Aubrey-" Charles started.
"It's Wonder actually" I said with a conflicted expression.
"Okay, Wonder, what are you still doing up? I told you to get some sleep" Charles said with a frown. I could feel Alex tense behind me.
"I've been talking with Alex" I smiled behind me and Alex calmed a bit. Alex slipped on this smirk that I've never seen before.
"Is that okay professor X" Alex asked with sarcasm lacing his words. Charles raised his hand up to his face inconspicuously but I knew what he was doing. I turned to Alex and grabbed his hand, making his eyes go wide in shock. I pulled him up with me and I looked back at Charles. He had this smile on his face.
"Charles, me and Alex are going to bed, we can talk tomorrow" I pulled Alex past him and then pushed Alex past me.
"I'll be right back, I just want to grab my water" I smiled and walked back into the room, sitting across from Charles.
"You read his mind" I narrowed my eyes at him. He sighed and looked away.
"I did, because I could tell there was something bothering him" He said then got up and left. I made my way back out to Alex and saw he was sitting by the door. He glanced up at me when another emotion flashed through his eyes.
"Chatting with Charles" He said and I frowned.
"He read your mind.." I said quietly, sitting down beside him.
"I know, I could feel and see what he was doing" He said and looked at me.
"What was he doing?" I whispered, leaning my head on his shoulder. He stiffened but then relaxed.
"Looking through my feelings for you" He said and then waited, as if waiting for me to yell or cry. I thought for a moment.
"What are your feelings for me" I whispered leaning back and looking at him. He leaned, looking straight into my eyes.
"They are good ones" He whispered before leaning in and placing his lips on mine. I gasped slightly then closed my eyes, leaning into the kiss. He brought his hands up to my face and I ran mine through his hair. I pulled away gently, placing another soft kiss on his lips.
"Mine are good too" I smiled and leaned my head against his. He smiled, that special smile that almost no one gets to see. I reached up and gently ran my fingers against his lips.
"I love that smile" I whispered again, giggling slightly. He chuckled and leaned back, an arrogant smile replacing his genuine one.
"Well, it's only for you, so feel special" He laughed and then I laughed too. I put my hands on his face, then suddenly I was knocked off my feet, I felt a huge rush of emotions that weren't mine. Alex gasped and reached a hand out to me, but I backed up slightly freaked out. I had never felt this type of power before. I turned invisible out of the strange emotions rushing thorugh me. I knew they were Alex's as soon as they were in my head. They were strong feeling of confusion, fear, lust and... it almost felt like.. a strong bond or attraction? But it couldn't be. I shook my head and climbed to my feet, taking off down the hall in search of Charles. I looked back and saw Alex slide down the wall in confusion. I turned around just in time to run straight into Charles.
"Oh! Charles, please, I need your help!" I yelled in in confusion and fear. He looked around and I noticed that I still wasn't seen. I cooled down slightly, enough for him to be able to see me again. He sighed and looked at me.
"What can I do for you?" He asked softly and I sighed, looking down.
"I just, I don't know, looked into Alex's feelings. I don't know how I did it and I really didn't mean too! I.. I'm freaking out!" I yelled turning invisible again. Charles pulled me into a hug, patting my back comfortingly.
"Wow, you are much more powerful thank I thought. I think you should get some sleep and then we can talk about this tomorrow during our training" He smiled and I wrapped my arms around him again. I looked over his shoulder and noticed that Alex was standing down the hall, arms crossed and a stony expression on his face. I pulled away from Charles and walked towards him.
"Alex.." I started but he cut me off.
"No, I see how it is. You ran right for Charles" He said with a glare. I reached out but he turned and walked away. I sighed and felt tears gather in my eyes. Why were boys so difficult? I just didn't understand him. I walked to my room, still invisible. I didn't sleep at all that night, I was so consumed by my sadness. I couldn't stop what was happening, I was resorting to old habits. I knew I wasn't good enough for anyone, so why would he want me.
I walked across the hall to the washroom, not thinking about anyone even being up as it was super late. I looked in the mirror, my eyes reverting back to their emptiness. As soon as I had gotten here they had a new sparkle to them, but it seems that the sparkle is gone and all that is left is emptiness. I glanced down at the metal in my hand. I gasped at where my train of thought was going and immediately threw the garbage. I was different now, I couldn't think like that.
"Wonder..." I looked over in shock, meeting Hank's eyes only for a moment. I shook my head and ran back into my room. I threw myself into my bed and the tears kept coming. Why was I so sad about how Alex was treating me? I sighed and rolled over, finally falling into a restless sleep. When I woke up, it was late. From what I could tell it was almost lunch. I climbed out of bed and threw on a sweatshirt and jeans, not feeling up to dressing up. I walked down to the kitchen and came face to face with Alex, again. He glanced up and I could see the brief sadness and then guilt then nothing cross his eyes. I turned and was about to leave when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Can we talk..." He started, but then Raven came running into the room.
"Banshee's going to fly! Come on" She laughed grabbing my hand and dragging me up with her. I glanced back at Alex and saw the conflict of feelings flashing through his eyes. He was sad, lonely, and guilty. I quickly ran over to him and pressed my lips to his.
"I'm still angry, and very sad. But it's not going to change how I feel about you. We can talk later" I smiled and he pulled me to him, pressing his lips firmly to mine.
