Tori nodded. ”Oh we will. I’m dragging him back to SMMO until he gets it in his head that the Institute needs him. But he’s not ready yet. I can see that.” she said simply. And it was that simple. For her anyways. Fire moved on feelings mainly. There was no logic in buring a forest. It just was. She watched him with a chuckle.
”She’s inviting it. And she’s not a Lady. I know for a fact that she enjoys everything he’s doing. Twenty first century love. If he didn’t do that at least once I’d be worried.” she said truthfully with a snigger. She watched the dancers. She was no where good enough to dance that. Slower? Yes. Fast? No. She saw Albert and Alice watching Mal. ”Though if you do, you’ll have to get in line. Looks like Daddy’s going to be a little pissed off at Dracula.” she said simply a snigger drifting from under her full mask.
The girl’s hands artfully dropped to pull up Mal’s hand, which made him laugh, getting her to. Good. He’s relaxing again. Tori knew that if mal did get to uptight things tended to bend. Like Metal. And he’d told her there were ways of damaging a human that would take years for them to even know about. She really didn’t want to know HOW he knew that. She really really really didn’t. Then the dance was over.
Albert raised his voice as the light’s turned onto the large white cake. ”it’s about five minutes until we have cake. After that is the unmasking, and gifts.” she nodded as he caught her eye. She was going to get cake. Though it would be a few moments. ”Cake?” there was a childish sound to her voice, as if she was alittle girl asking for some, though she wasn’t, because she’d just go over there and get some, but it was one of the things she did.

Logan nodded and gave her a small shack at the 21st century crack. "I know that. Don't act like I was born yesterday..." He said sourly, mouth set in a grim line. Was she going to harp on the fact that he was born before electricity was even a dream? He REALLY needed to go hunting in the wilderness...Just to have a snipit of time that was right to him...old-fashioned and everything.
He was fine with waiting to kick Mal, but at the president's word he shifted nervously. Time to disappear he thought and got his body to move. He slid his arm out from Tori's hold. He gave her a squeeze and a small push towards the table with the gifts and cake. "Go and get some cake, hun. Be with your family...I will be going now..." He turned swiftly, his dark cape billowing around hima dn melted into the crowd. He felt so guilty at leaving Tori, but he did not want to be unmasked...His life had just calmed down, and people had begun to forget his name. He liked his life, out of the limelight and the public eye... He slipped from the room and towards the exit.

Tori sighed as he pulled away. She hadn’t wanted him to disappear though she knew he would have. She closed her eyes, and then turned to watch him go, not responding. Mal finished the dance easily and caught sight of it. He glanced at Tori, and quickly moved towards her. :Its already Lady Fire. We all need different things. Let him be for now. Come on, lets get cake, and unmask, then open presents. Then you can drag me to SMMO, and force me to sleep there until I say hi to the X-men.: it was in her mind though, as he stood infront of her holding her gaze. Then she broke it with a nod, and a quick sigh. She wasn’t sure why she hadn’t wanted him to go, but she didn’t. She turned away, and glanced at Mal who had his arm out. ”Hey you need to be Escorted. After all, an angel can’t walk alone.” she rolled her eyes and took his arm, sniggering slightly.
The tall man lead her to the cake, where Aislinn blew out the candles, and they had some. Then it was time for the unmasking. She stood in line, along with everyone else and mal across from her. Everyone took off their masks at the bell and she grinned. Yup, it was Mal she glanced at everyone amused, as they all looked at the one person they didn’t know. Malcolm Xavier. He nodded, and didn’t speak as he turned his attentions onto Aislinn. Who was currently digging into her presents.
Finally the party was over, Mal got his glaring at, though the girl just was amused, and told her father to zip it. Tori stayed to help clean up and so did Mal. ”So Victoria. Wanna explain who you were kissing?” albert. She sighed, turning to look at him. ”Not now.” was all she said as she waited for everyone else to leave, well besides the few who were staying. The place was a reck, though she knew by morning it would be spotless. ”James Howlett. Yes that one. Wolverine. Happy now?” Albert eyed her. ”The one you researched as a nine year old for that essay?” she rolled her eyes. ”yes. That one. There was Magnito in there, as well as Sabertooth, Professor X and a few others. Why?” she asked sharply.
Albert didn’t continue, and Victoria grabbed her things, nodding to Mal. ”Come on, Let’s go home.” Mal could see she was tired. He touched her shoulder. ”You ok?” she nodded. ”ok fine. Let’s go.” he grabbed her hand and pulled her outside, grinning. He caught site of the military humve. ”You drove here in a Hummer?” he asked as he looked at the dark green thing before him. ”It’s a damn MONSTER can I drive?” she laughed at his boy like reaction.
”As long as you don’t break it.” she said as she climbed into the passanger seat, in her dress, her wings in her arms. Mal laughed as he got in the driver’s seat and started to drive. By the time they got to SMMO she was asleep, her head on her shoulder. He turned off the hummer and sat there watching her. ”You try so hard, and yet you never win. How do you keep going, Lady of Fire?” he murmured, blue eyes watching his friend.

Logan had lie in wait as the SMMO head quaters for quite a while, waiting for Tori to return. He felt very guilty disappearing on her like that...but he wanted to stay under the radar. So he waited at the front gate for her, long since changed out of his costume.
He heard the hummer comming before he saw it. It was a dark green, but with his perfect night vison it was not a problem. He waiting in a tree in his military cargos and white undershirt that was well fitted to his muscled body. As the car pulled to a stop and he hopped off the branch, landing beside the passenger side. He gave a glare to Mal before opening Tori's door. She was so beautiful when she slept. He took off her seat belt and gently picked her up. *Thanks for gettting her home, Mal* he thought, knowing the telepath would pick it out of head. He cradled Tori close and give her a light kiss on the nose. The beast was riled that the enslaver was here...with his Tori.

Mal senced Logan long before they got through the gate. He was a beacon. Watching for Mal, and Tori. That was easy. Plus the man didn’t shield at all, so he was easy to pick off. He gave the shorter man a wry smile. :No problems.: he mentally patted to Beast before slipping out of the hummer and grabbing his things. He headed for the lit up head quarters. Someone was still in there.
Being picked up half woke up Tori, and she murmured something that wasn’t really words. Though she did move so that her body was closer to Logan’s. Her eyes opened for a second, showing tired brown orbs, before they shut firmly. She was definatly going to be sleeping for a while. She hadn’t been able to sleep much over the last week, with three different missions, that she had to keep an eye on, and the many training sessions, Jae, Logan, and the party (which she’d helped with), and this was just wonderful, though her muttering’s did sound something like ”co….ld.” just because it was spring didn’t mean it wasn’t cold at night.

Logan smiled at Tori as she snuggled close and mumbled something of being cold. He needed to get her inside... He followed Mal swiftly, holding his close. The beast recoiled and hissed at the mental stroke, not liking anyone near the sanctuary of his mind.
He followed Mal and side and motion for him to follow. He led him to Tori's rooms and opened the door. He left the door open for Mal and sniffed, looking for the attack cat. She was not there, suprisingly. She had not been here since they had left for the party... most likely hiding with Richard then. He smirked as he layed Tori in her bed. He removed her shoes and cover her with a blanket.
He motioned for Mal to follow him into her kictchen and walked inside. He dodged a claw as Jae swatted at his heels. He wondered why she was hiding under the kitchen table. "Mal...could you come in here?" He asked quietly, watching the tigress stalk out towards him. She looked Ticked.

Mal followed Logan, if only because they were going to the same place. He grinned at the woman at the front desk, who just looked through him… Ok then. He padded in easily and shut the door, looking around him at her quarters. Nice, a bit austere, but then again she probably didn’t want to get to attached. Though the cat under the table said other wise.
He mentally reached out to touch the cat and quickly blocked himself from her. ”Hi kitty.” he said softly, as Logan came out, spoke and watched the cat. ”What’s her name?” he crouched as he watched the cat. ”Hey you. I’m Malcolm Xavier. Mal most people call me. I’m not gonna hurt you. Victoria’s safe, and he’s most definatly not gonna hurt you. What do you have against Wolverine? He ever actually hurt you?” he was keeping his voice smooth, calm, and almost lazy, though it was how you spoke to an insane animal.
His blue eyes were assessing. ”Powerful mental abilities. Like mine, but… centered towards changing, and before you ask little one, I’m only reading your basic thoughts, things you can’t block. Your strong you know. Only seen a few stronger. Hm. Scared to. Simplistic, though not simple. Where’d you guys find her?”

| Logan manuvered himself to sit down on the counter, his eyes glued on the tiger. "Her name is Jaenelle. She is attached...of sorts to Tori...She defends her from Everything...including me."
Jae watched the new man, her eyes displaying her rising panic. She felt his power...felt him getting into her head, breaking into her sactuary. Her calm was shattered by fear. *Jae hurt by him..Tori hurt by him...You hurt Me! You hurt Mind sanctuary!* Her mind voice was shrill. This was a prelude to one of her bouts of mindless terror...
Wolverine watched the tiger back herself into a corner. "We rescued her from a testing facility...10 years of torture... Her mind is broken." He shook his head sadly. He felt it was his fault she was like this...He had not been able to save her from torment...

Mal listened as he watched her. Another psycic. Strong. ”She imprinted on the thing that saved her. Strongest thing in the room. Obviously Tori proved that she’s safe… Hm.” he watched her freak out, go tiger, and back herself into a corner. He put up a quick shield around her. ”I’m not gonna hurt you Jaenelle. I am a friend of Victoria’s. Known he for five… years? Yeah five. Helped her figure out what she wanted to do with this place. Though I didn’t stick around.
He watched her. ”Reading the basic thoughts. Simple. The stuff you don’t shield.” he explained simply, staying down. His blond hair flopping into his eyes. ”Your mind is safe. I won’t touch it again, alright? I’m like you. Psychic. I can read minds…. And a lot of other things. Move fast, um…. Talk to the dead. Plus all the stuff you do… ok changing shape not so much.”
He glanced at Logan, from the floor. ”And so she’s like a child. They boxed up a Psychic. They were TRYING to kill her? And themselves? Hello does ANYONE remember what happened a year ago? You don’t DO that.” he growled angrily at the floor, closing his eyes. He shut his anger down quickly. He knew he could very well hurt both of them easily. Rip past the girl’s shields. Fix her, but he wouldn’t. Not now. ”Jae? When you feel safe, tell me. I’ve got you shielded. Not only can I not get to you, no one else will be able to either. If you want it down, tell me. Alright? I’m not going to hurt you or your Tori alright?”

Wolverine nodded. "They were in the Congo...they may not have gotten the news...I dont condone what they did...There is not a single one of them left...Tori destoried them all..." He hissed, remembering the cold blankness in her eyes as she destroyed everything around them...
Jae felt the sheild go up around her, and it failed to make her calmer. It just intesified her terror. She scrappled at the shield, her shield of her own coating the skin and making it glimmer. *Cage! Pain! HURT JAE!* She keened mentally, her mind complely swamped by her terror. Her hiss was pain filled as she keened to Tori,*TORIIIIIIIIIII! Cage JAE!* Her claws slashed at the force wall...with no success.

Mal nodded. ”Fire Demon. That’s what she did. Wildfire. She’s extreamly deadly then. Only ever seen it once. Never EVER want to see it again.” he said simply watching her. He blocked the path way to Tori, and took of the shield, artfully putting it around himself and Logan. ”She’s sleeping. Let her sleep. I’m not going to hurt you, trap you or anything else. And leave Victoria be. If you didn’t notice she hasn’t slept.” he murmured, standing up.
He moved his hands carefully as he ‘created’ sparkly dust motes of air. Really they were illutions, but he was trying to see if he could do a general illusion and make her freak out. A test almost. He knew Logan would see them, but would the girl. ”You see my friend, I’m not going to hurt you. Unlike most Psycics, I don’t see something I need to fix. Only when your ready will you let me in anyways. Then we can fix you. You won’t be afraid so much then. And you’ll probably learn quickly.

Ebony calmed down just a hair when she felt the shield move away from her. She was alright...no cage...no cage...safe...safe...safe... She continued to repeat that to herself, tring to do what Richard had taught her when something had scared her. Repeating that she was safe...Tori was there...All was well...no hurt..no hurt...no hurt...
The shield flickered over her body once more then dropped as the broken telepath forced herself to start to relax. As soon as it dropped, she saw the sparklies floating in the air. *Sparkly Man? Recchar?* He ears flicking about anf nose twitching. She liked to play with that man...she felt safe with him...and he helped her get a fraction of control over herself. She crept forwards towards the swirling colors, hesitant to get any nearer to the Psycic, but her playful side was coming to the fore.
Jae sat back on her haunches and morphed down back into a small silver kitten, her little tail waving just a bit. She reached up and swatted at the air motes without her claws, wondering if the man before her would get mad at her. He heard his last words and cocked her fuzzy head sideways. *Fix? Jae broke?*

Mal sighed with relieve whens he relaxed. ”Mal. Not Richard. Mal. I can do sparklies to. But no where near as colorful.” he said softly, his long fingers moving carefully, making them dance around her. Good. When she looked at him again he chuckled.
”A little. Nothing I can’t fix, But only when your ready. I won’t touch you until you want me to.” he said with a bit of laughter. It was easy to switch tracks for him. He’d leanred young than you can hurt people badly if you weren’t able to switch tracks from angry to happy. He’d gotten in trouble for that once. Never ever did he do it again. His mom was NOT happy with him.
He let the motes disappear slowly. ”Peace? I won’t hurt you, You don’t hurt me, or Logan. We won’t hurt Tori. Alright? And no more cages.” at least not until you let me get in your head. That last part was deep inside his own shields, and mind. He wasn’t about to let her know THAT. Or what he could do. He was thankful no one had picked up on his… ability to speak to the dead. He really didn’t want to know what Logan would think about it. Not even Tori knew about THAT one. But that was because he was afraid she’d want to speak with her mother. Which he wasn’t willing to do.

Jae purred lightly as the sparkles danced around her. Here...she felt safe now, even though this Mal Man was not Sparkly Man. She played for a moment more before the motes disappeared. She went down on all fours with a kitten sigh and looked at the blond.
Jae took a hesitant step towards the tall man, her eyes holding an uncharacteristic serious exspression. She planted a little silver paw on his foot and looked deep into his eyes with her blue ones. *Jae Broke. Fix...Now No...Soon?* Her mind voice was choppy, she was struggling to hold onto her train of thought. With a broken mind, it was hard to keep her mind on any one human concept at a time. Play was instinct, talking was not. She knew that Mal would probably feel her thoughts run off without her and her eyes changed back again. Her mind voice regained the childish quality it held noramlly as she reached up her paws on his leg. *Up, Mal Man, Up!*

Mal laughed at her words. "As soon as you feel ready. Though not to night." he said softly, feeling her thoughts slipping away. Then she was at his feet. he chuckled as he crouched and picked her up. She was tiny. "Be careful." he said softly as he tickled her, or at least moved his fingers near her, as if playing with a cat.
