Chapter 21: Dumbledore

I was hexing Emma Frost when Scott ran to her and broke it.

" What are you doing?" Scott asked, " She's a guest."

" Rivelare!" I shouted and the Danger Room turned into a giant t.v. and cast what she had done for the entire team to see.

" Emma!" Ororo said angrily.

Scott looked down at her, " what...why would you do that?" he asked.

Emma got to her feet and raised her hand in front of her chest, " I admit it. I was jealous. That and Magneto wanted him to fall in love with one of the Brotherhood!"

I looked at Scott, then ran off to the Brotherhood wing, but I found that they had vacated the mansion. Scott ran up behind me and stopped when he saw the empty rooms.

" What does this mean?" Scott asked.

" I think I was right before, I love you, but I'm impairing your judgement." I said quickly hugging him and walking away.

As I turned the corner, I bumped into Jean, " What's up? I just heard about the Danger Room." she said sympathetically.

" It's already reached the rest of the mansion?" I asked.

" Yeah, sorry. Told you guys Emma couldn't be trusted." she said.

" Just like I said that it was a bad idea to house Magneto and his crew?" I snapped.

Jean pressed her finger to her temple, " Do you need to talk." she asked.

" I don't know." I sighed, " I guess, you got a few days?" I asked. She nodded and we went to her classroom. I told her about everything, Piotr, Bobby, Johnny, Scott, Lance, my powers, Magneto, Pietro and Wanda, and the phoenix.

" I think the only thing I can actually give you advice on is the Phoenix." she said, " But even that is complicated. What are you going to do now?" she asked.

I got up and walked to the door, " Learn how to save a life." I said, leaving the room.

=======================================================================================================================

Lucky for Bobby and I, Scott was off with Alex, Jace had left with Magneto; as a spy, and Piotr had went to help Moira McTaggert and Forge on Muir Island. I felt hurt and mad and upset and...excited. Magneto had decieved us, but then again he had shown actual love towards me. Although it was the wrong way to go about it, it was a way. At least today was just a relaxing day full of fun.

Bobby smiled, " So, we have all day to ourselves, what would you like to do?" he asked.

" Got ideas, but I'm gonna need you alone to let my 'ideas' play out." I smiled. He leaned in and kissed me and I kissed back. Our tongues searched each other's mouths and we...did things that just saying makes me blush. After two hours of 'blushing', we decided to go to the Rec. Room. Bobby and I looked at each other as we saw that Scott was there and took seats next to him.

" How'd things go with Alex." I asked.

Scott smiled weakly, " Not too well, but that's how things are, what about you? You feeling alright?" he asked.

" Great. COUldn't be better so far, so what's his deal?" I asked.

" HavoK! He doesn't want to be called by his human name. He's so..." Scott started.

" Stubborn? Pig headed? Dominant?" I answered.

" Yes!" Scott said angrily.

" Just like you?" I said, causing him to look at me, " He's just like you and it's not a bad thing. We're going to Manhatten, wanna go?" I asked. Bobby shifted uncomfortably and Scott must have noticed.

" Um, maybe another time. Gambit, Rogue, Phoenix, and I are going on a very important assignment." Scott smiled, leaving.

" Nice...you'd think that after WE have sex, your focus would not be on Scott." Bobby said angrily.

" What's that mean?" I asked.

" Be ready at five." Bobby said coldly, a little pun intended.

I could tell he was mad, his breath turned to ice...and I didn't want him to be mad, but I didn't know what I had done that was so bad and I walked after him, but he was gone before I could get to him. I felt really bad. I felt self-absorbed and out of line. I had just invited my ex on what Bobby probably viewed as our date. I had only meant to invite Scott as a friend, to cheer him up, but I see how it looked and even I didn't like it.

=====================================================================================================================

I walked for a while, just thinking about myself the last few days and how I've changed, and not for the better. I felt like sitting by the pool and thinking about things. when I got there, I saw Kitty, Sira, and Jubilee talking and I was about to say hi when I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see Amara.

" You're late. Look, Bobby's really mad and I think you know why." Amara said nervously.

" Yeah, I'm not so smart. How mad?" I asked.

Amara looked at me and shook her head, making me suspect the worse, then walked away. I looked after her, assuming she'd turn around and give me a solid answer, but she walked over to Jubilee, Sira, and Kitty and began to chat. In all this, I had noticed Bobby sitting by the pool. I sighed and toyed with the idea of just leaving, but I finally went and sat next to him.

I tried to gauge his anger without using my powers, " Hiya, whatcha doin out here? (Long pause) I am so sorry, I didn't mean to just-he's my friend. And to my defense, when you got with me, you knew I had a few screws loose." I said, letting all the words fly out.

He smiled at me, " I was jealous." he said, " I can't stay mad at you. We're real, You and me. I like how we mesh. I've wanted 'us' since I met you." before he could say anything else, I pushed my tongue down his throat and kissed him again. When we broke, he just stared into my eyes.

I smiled and looked away, " I'd better go and get dressed." I said, standing.

Bobby did the same, " Me too. I guess I'll see you in an hour." he smiled.

I nodded, " K." and I slowly walked away, not really wanting to leave him, but walking anyways.

=====================================================================================================================

As I got ready, I noticed that I could recite every spell in the book, which made getting dressed as easy as saying, " Vestirlo". My powers had even started working right and I had new ones...weird ones. I had even stopped seeing the Phoenix in the mirror, though there was something different about my eyes now. They weren't mine. Someone was in them, always. I looked at the eyes and as I began to see deeper into my own eyes, I was interrupted by Logan.

" You know, you owe me an apology." Logan said, drapped against the door.

I turned to him, " Bite me..." I said angrily.

" Hey, bub, those are some harsh words from a small fry." he said, peeling from the wall, " I mean I didn't actually do it."

" Yeah, but it still hurt. Not just because he did it, but because of who he did it with." I said, turning from him, back to the mirror. Logan smiled wickedly and I saw it through the mirror, " What?" I asked.

" Why'd it make it harder?" he asked.

" Does it really matter now?" I asked.

" I guess not. Look, there are some people in the mansion who don't like you. There are some who are afraid of you and ..." He warned.

" Your point?" I snapped.

" Be careful." he said quickly.

" Will do." I said, shrugging off his advice. He smirked, then left the room quietly, still smirking. All of a sudden it got really stuffy and I had to get out of the room! I grabbed the door, trying to open it fast enough to escape before I lost my mind.

==========================================================================================================================

I eventually wandered to the kitchen and found I wasn't alone; Scott was sitting at the counter eating a sandwhich. I can never get a break!

" Hi, what's up?" Scott asked.

" Nothing." I said, " Just...I have to ask you a question. Not that it's why I'm dating, but does it...do you feel anything when you see me with him?" I asked.

Scott looked at his sandwhich, " You mean like anger, sadness, loss...nope, not at all." he joked.

I laughed, " Seriously." I asked.

Scott put the sandwhich down and sighed, " You're young...Well, younger than me and you're testing the waters and you'll be back because you love me...and I love you. That's why I'm gonna wait for you." he smiled. I felt the overwhelming urge to kiss him, but I was smarter than that. I just nodded and diverted my eyes. " Also, Professor needs to see you." he smirked.

I nodded and tried to get up, but fell out of the chair! I got up quickly, dusting myself off and walking away, fighting off Scott, who tried to help me up. I was so embarrassed, but once I got to the Professor's door, it dissapated. I was about to knock on the door when I felt Professor sensing me and I got this ominous, strange feeling. I stopped and stared at the door.

Professor <DON'T!>

Me <What's the matter?>

Professor <Nothing is wrong, I just need to impart some wisdom on you. Most, if not all, of your powers come from a mystical and sometimes dangerous place.>

Me <I'm searching for a point.>

Professor

Me <Like, when I lose control, the powerful, bad-ass me comes out...>

Professor <Not "like"...it is. Sometimes, it's the good you. It is my belief that you are more of a commodity than one would assume. You are not just a key, but I'm not sure what. 'People' will try to use you.>

Me <Using me, easier than it sounds...wait, what am I?>

Professor <Human. Anything else is utter speculation.>

Me < Professor, what's going on? What's in your office.>

Professor <I am dealing with one of those 'people' by using a portal. You should take your leave, I do believe you have other things to attend to.>

Me

Professor < You are welcomed, Harry.>

Something had hit me, the word "Portal"...something went off in my head and I remembered the piece of text from the book. Apparently, water was the ultimate portal. That would explain my fondness to the pool and it hit me, I could communicate with the only one who truly knows what is going on. I raced to the pool, passing Logan and Scott, who were talking in the hall.

" Not even a hi, now?" Logan asked.

" NO!" I shouted back. I ran faster, apparently being followed by them, then I was at the pool, staring into the clear water. It was so decieving! There could be another world, in essence, under the glassy surface. Scott and Logan showed up while I was gazing.

" What's wrong? What're you doing?" Scott asked behind me.

I felt a familiar dark feeling, then I transformed: Dark clothes, hair, eyes, and attitude. I felt a rush of power and I raised my hand over the water, " POISEDON! I COMMAND THE TRUTH! REVEAL THE PORTAL TO ME! APRIRE il Portal!" I shouted.

A face appeared above the water, " Who are you to commad me!" it asked.

My eyes glowed black and I opened my mouth to let out a shockwave that made the face shriek, then disappear before I was swallowed whole by the pool! I floated in darkness and eventually landed on my feet. I walked slowly down a dark hallway and stared at everything. It was familiar, yet not recallable.

" What took you so long?" A bodyless voice asked, " You seek the truth?" I turned to see Apocalypse on a throne, he stood, " Your powers come from the Universe itself. You are a mixture of all mutants and me. My son." he chuckled.

I just...I looked at him without feeling, without remorse, no fear...

" What? No pun? No witty comeback? I'm disappointed. I heard you dealt with my pets...You found the book and that damn Phoenix force finally got to you, huh?" Apocalypse asked.

I waved my hand, " Silence! You're scared, aren't you? You fear me...I'm evil? I can deal, but even if I try to destroy the world...hell, even the universe, I'll end up saving it. It's what I do. Goodbye." I said angrily.

" Can you honestly do that? Control yourself to the point of not feeling? I don't think you can...I think your whole dimension is doomed." He said as I walked away. I didn't stop, I just kept walking. I wondered what could I do. I asked, Can I make it out of this alive...or good...or even sane? The old me is just a memory now, this is who I need to be to fight, unfeeling. Even Professor Xavier said so. My powers are amplified by my emotions, which made me a danger forever.
