I stared at her in disbelief.

She said it was okay. Okay? I had shoved my claws into her stomach and she said it was okay?

Time to sort this mess out.

“ No, it’s not. I hurt you Ro, I hurt you real bad.”

She closed her eyes for a few seconds. Obviously she was tired.

Slowly she opened them again.

“Logan, it wasn’t your fault. It could have happened to anyone.”

I sighed as I realized I wasn’t gonna reason with her.

I brushed some hair from her face.

“Get some sleep Ro.”

As I left Jean walked back in.

God, that weather witch was so stubborn at times.

---------------------------------------------------

A few days later and I was in the kitchen.

Next thing I knew, Storm walked in.

I ran over to her.

“Storm what the hell are you doing in here?”

She shrugged.

“I was hungry.” Her soft African accent highlighting her words.

Jean’s the next one to walk in.

I pulled her aside as Storm rumaged through the fridge.

“What the hell is she doing in here.”

Jean sighed.

“I checked her over and she doesn’t need to stay in bed. Sure it’s bad but it’s not bad enough to force her to stay in bed. She’s not going to work at all. I told her to take it easy for around a month. Maybe even 2.”

I stepped back.

Ororo was sat at the table eating a piece of coffee cake.

I got a beer from the fridge and sat down next to her.

She glanced up at me, gave me a nod of recognition and went back to her cake.

We sat in a comfortable silence.

When she had finished her cake and I had finished my beer, I turned to her.

“Ro, wanna go for a walk with me?”

She smiled.

“Yeah. That would be good.”

--------------------------------------------------

We made our way to the garden.

As I reached the bottom of the stone steps in the garden I realized that Storm wasn’t next to me anymore.

Turning around, I saw her slowly coming down the steps.

“Ro? You okay?”

She nodded at me.

Another lie. It was obvious that she was in pain.

“I’m fine, really. I just can’t quite manage stairs yet.”

--------------------------------------------------------------

We walked until we came across a clearing.

Sighing, Ororo sat down cross-legged on the grass.

She closed her eyes and breathed in.

I smiled and watched as she floated on a small wind a few inches off the ground.

I have to admit she’s amazing.

We stayed outside for a few hours. Just... talking.

There was so much I didn’t know about her, which is understandable seeing as I’ve only known her for around a week. But now, I feel i’ve known her much longer.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As I helped her upstairs to her room I asked again if she was alright.

“Yeah, I feel much better know though. Being outside really helped.”

With that she went inside her room and I stood there, just... thinking.

Am I in love with Ororo Munroe?
