Cairo-Lito's Way

Smiling as the lovebirds left my room I walk to the bed and fix it just the way I had it before even though I had to get another sheet from the linen closet. I don't know but ever since I was younger I have been a extremist. Nothing could be half assed when I am around. It was either all or nothing. There were no in betweens, no loop holes now I sit here in a school that I was forced to attend due to giving my word to Magnus I can not help but feel deep inside that this is where I need to be, however I can not give Xavier the satisfaction of knowing that he is right because he isn't, If given the chance human would wipe the world clean of mutants without giving a second thought of damage the lives lost, the families broken, the ruination of society.
As I contemplate the mutant question I hear a loud scream from down the hall. I quickly run to see what's happening. Hey I can see the love birds in front of me.

My arm is wraped around Lava as we make our way to the source of the screaming. Once we get there we see the shakin Nomad stairing back at us. "Are you ok Nomad?" I ask while keeping my distance at not sure how he is reacting at the moment.

 

[nightray]

when I gite back to the school I see nothing out of place. I go to my room and lay down for som much needed sleep.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

LAVA

( ooc. does a girl EVER get a 'good night sleep?' wink wink...um...i guess it just makes it all the better in the end...)




we reach the room that nomad's shrieks were coming from. i turn the corner. i notice him staring blankly out into space. his skin pastey white, and his skin clammy. i cringe at him, he seems to be in so much pain. wearily i walk towards him. i see him jump when i touch his forehead. he sort of lashes out, striking me in the process. i hurtle through the air, landing on my back. wind knocked out of me. i slowly get up. i walk back towards him a tad more cautious. this time when i reach him, he grabs my arm. a little too tightly for comfort. i don't knwo what to do, or to say.

Running to them I pull Lava away from his grip "Nomad what is wrong with you?! You could have hurt her!" He just looks at us with that blank look of fear over his face.

His face is white and his eyes are wide open like he had seen something. Turning to Lava I ask "What do you think is wrong with him?"

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

lava

i just stare in shock. i step back quickly, my hand rubbing where he grabbed me, a bruise immediatly forms on my wrist. 'i...um...no...i don't. and i cant get close enough to even try to help." i try to go back to him again. renegade yanks me back. "what...?"

 

[Renegade]

Renegade

Holding her back I tell her softly "Let me talk to him. He's known me longer then you in the last few years." Walking over to Nomad I sit down next to him and keep my eyes on his movements incase he trys to do anything to me or Lava.

He looked like he was starting to calm down a little but was still not all there. "Nomad" I began while keeping a certain distance "What's happening with you? What did the Elders do to you at the base?" He just staired into space but then slowly turned towards me...

 

[nomad]

have a trippy day

i shake the cobwebs out of my head and look around, damnit rogue was a hallucination!!!!! "ah hi guys" seeing lava looking at me with a cautious look and renegade hovering over me "sorry bout what i did earlier renegade. as for me don't ask; anyways what the hell did i just do? i was kinda out of it."

 

[Renegade]

Renegade

Seeing that he was coming out of the hallucination I became more at ease. Patting him on the back I explain "Well you just tried to kick the crap out of us again but dont worry. You were out of it so we dont blame you."

Helping him up from his seat I ask "So are you going to be ok now?" Lava had a look of deep concern as she watched Nomad stand up still looking kinda dizzy.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

lava

he was out of it. I WAS OUT OF IT. first he isnt dead, then he helps me when he is dead, but he wasnt really dead anymore, then he is in some sort of trance. i was so confused. and then renegade just pats him on the back like they are old friends. we should of just stayed in bed. i sit down on a nearby chair, i put my hands over my temples and slowly rub, trying to get rid of my headache, and my confusion. suddenly i snap out of it. "what the hell do you MEAN don't worry about it? i will worry about it, because you put everyone one of these people in danger. and i was a fool enough to let my love...wait...i don't even know if you can call it that...i let whatever i felt for you years ago take hold of me." i get up. im in some sort of rage. "what the hell did you think you were doing?" i see renegade step between us. i frown. "reneg..." he interrupts me, he sits me down. i feel him pull my head back and lay a hand on my shoulder, a small gesture but it was comforting nonetheless (teehee, is that the spellin?) i stare at nomad, waiting for an answer. my limbs were so taut right at the moment i felt as if i could spring up and knock that stupid smirk he always has on his face. i couldnt help but feel compassion however, i wanted to go over and smack him then hug him. renegade's firm hand held me to my spot. i felt him lightly move his fingers over my shoulder, barely moving. the guy sure knew how to calm me down. i wasnt sure why nomad was hesitating to answer.

 

[nomad]

looking at lava "i can't answer that, nobody can, but ya can go with renegade and live your life."

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

lava

"you make me so incredibly mad. do you think that you can get away with that answer?" his last comment irked me, it gave me a feeling of dread in my stomach, yes i did love him before, but damnit, he almost killed us all. i didnt know what to do, i cringed as if i was going to be hit and almost burst into tears. "how dare you" was all i could mutter before i held my head down in shame, i felt as if i did do something wrong. i couldnt help being concerned about nomad, but for some reason i felt guilty.

 

[nomad]

"DAMN IT girl, go, its done game over, i fucked up, ok? i screwed up MY life don't let it ruin yours!" i walk to xavier's room to apologize and to sign up, i hope.....

 

[Renegade]

Professor X (one more time!)

Nomad enters my room slowly to talk with me. Before he can say anything I put my hand up to stop him "Nomad, I know what you are here about. I want you to know that you are welcomed to be apart of our school. We are all about forgiving ones past and helping mutants get on with their lifes." He seemed releaved but knew there was something else I had to say.

He was right "But Nomad, it is not my place to tell you what to do, but you need to try to talk with Lava about what has happened. Believe me that sometimes the biggest mistakes are the things that never get done. Think about that. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go over some more papers."

Nomad walked out of the office silently and closed the door. Sitting back in my chair I hoped that I had given him something to think about...

Cairo-Watch

Watching the other students from the shadows argue and watching one of them storm out looking for Xavier I smile because it proves my point if a house of mutants can not like in tranqulity then how can we expect to live with humans with no problems. Ha Xavier if you are scanning my mind and I know you are this proved I am right and you know it. Mutants and human are not made to coexist. Meanwhile the lovebirds look like they are about to get it on again and I tired of butting in their lives I walk around the school looking to meet some of the other students.

OCC: I am not mad I just like red so don't worry about my smiley face. I am still the same sarcastic condesending SOB as usual

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

lava

(ooc. since when are we love birds? and oh renegade, i hav e noticed the trend where you don't get any...lol...i'm tryin, but we keep gettin interrupted. DONT WORRY)

as nomad storms out of the room i grab a book and hurtle it towards him "your so goddamn selfish." he just keeps walking. i try to get up and storm after him, i didn't really mean to yell at him, it just sort of came out. anger i've had for a long time that i felt i needed to say. i deeply cared for nomad, but he didn't seem the same. renegade holds me in place. dammit.

 

[nomad]

trip round the world

feeling like i need to really figure things out, i drag cairo with me and head out to a harley dealership. "lets leave the lovebirds alone.hehehehehe" i find my fav, its $20,000, fortunely the assasion thing pays big time. cairo looked left and saw a gorgeous blonde woman and went over and talked. i bargained with the dealer and rode back.

OOC: that's your cue ya silly love birds.oh by the way this nomad and the one in the other thread are clones of the nutcase i itro'ed earlier, they were engineered by x-men in the future and sent back.

OOC: I've noticed that too! lol

IC: Reluctanly I hold Lava in place from going after Nomad. I could tell she was mad about that but I think this was the best thing to do at this point.

I tell her "We should leave Nomad alone for now Lava. He's been through alot and needs to get over it all in his own way. I think we've done all we can for him for now." Lava seemed to calm down somewhat but was still upset about what had just taken place.

As we sat there by ourselfs I thought about Lava and Nomads situation and the old saying popped into my head 'We always hurt the ones we love'. Those words were very true for what was happening with all of us inside of the mansion.

 

[nomad]

holy sh**!

as i rode back to the institute, thought about my relationship with lava and realized that we were friends, friends that had slept together, but friends none the less. i had to patch things up with lava. and then someone jumped me out of no where.it was toad. when he landed he jump kicked me off. "look frog-boy, im tired, pissed, and hungry for frog legs." i said as i rolled to the ditch on the right. he jumps over to me and tries to roundhouse kick me, but i jab him in the nuts and walk up to toad and twist his head 180 degrees."So much for the frog" i walked back to the institute....it took 2 hours.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

lava

i actually pay attention and absorb his words. i guess he is right. i lay my head against his chest and just close my eyes, trying to control my breathing and calm down. i run my fingers across his arm absent mindedly, finally when i calm down, i sigh. i look up. i kiss him on the chin and whisper "thank you."

 

[nomad]

ooc: sheesh i give ya guys some room and what do ya do? nada *laughs silently* sorry guys, had to.

 

[Renegade]

Renegade

OOC: Hey just taking my time buddy, taking my time.

IC: I'm cought a little off guard by her kiss but smile and look down to ask her "Thanks for what?" She just smiles back on at me and I know what she was thanking me for.

Running my fingers through her hair I whisper to her "Are you going to be ok now?" She seemed like she was still a little upset about Nomad but that is understanable.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

lava

i say silently, barely understandible, "i'll be fine." he seems to know what to do, where to touch me, how to calm me down. i just mold my body a bit more into his, i wrap my arms around him. my cheek against his chest. i love just listening. after a few minutes, just sitting there, i hug him tightly, then release him, i get up, he is sitting on the chair, i sit facing him, on his lap, my legs on either side of him. "i put you through a lot. I didnt mean for anyone to get involved. especially you." he deep dark eyes just stared at me. after another long pause, a smile spreads across my face. running my hands up and down his sides, our faces are inches apart. i lightly, our lips barely meeting, i brush my lips across his.

 

[Renegade]

Renegade

Our lips meet each other lightly when I move forword into a kiss. I hold her tighter to me as I suck her tongue into my mouth and message it with my own. My hands go around her back and fills her soft back in my hands as she moans into my mouth.

We break the kiss as I tell her "I dont blame you for what happened Lava. I know better then to do that." She smiles as we lock lips again. My hands move through her hair as we continue to kiss.

ooc: hello?
