X-Men: The Heart Of A Steel Man

Chapter 16: Picture for you

"We have not done anything wrong, what are you accusing us of?"
"Well, one; he's a mutant and here to take him. And if you are we will take you to. You should come along quietly now" the MRD officer demand d and held his rifle up to Piotr's chest with Kurt behind him.

"There is no need for that.." Piotr demanded and slowly placed an arm on the side covering Kurt who was ready to grab his friend and go quickly. 
"Fire." The one has Said and soon enough gunfire had filled the streets. Piotr's body had quickly shifted reflecting all the bullets, hopefully, none of them hitting any civilians.

Piotr grabbed the gun and punched the man in the face making him fly backward and bending the gun. 
"Come on! We need to get out of here!" Kurt said out loud and dabbed his friend's shoulder bamfing them both out of there.

"Kurt...are you hurt? Did they shoot you? What-"
"I'm fine, you are the one I should be asking if you are hurt. They shot mainly at you"
"Yeah...damn MRDs...can't learn to back down. We should head back as quickly as we can.." Piotr said angrily, he placed a hand on his side and looked up.

"Can't stand...." he let out a small growl before they both began to head back. 
Soon enough it was somewhere in the AM and Piotr was looking at his side in the mirror. His body stretching a little bit as his muscles flexed. Feeling frustrated he sat on his bed and rubbed his face. 
"What should.." he paused for a little bit and opened his drawer.

Seeing the picture he did a weak smile and began to get up. Throwing a shirt on he walked down to a small room, getting some painting supplies. 
Sitting down he put the picture on the stand that he placed a canvas on.

Soon enough he took some pencils and pastels and began to create.
Soon enough it was early morning and everyone was getting up to go and have breakfast.

All while everyone was up he was doing his own things. He hummed as he drew and soon took out his paints. Setting them out he thought of her and smiled.

Nina had been wondering the halls and humming to herself. She felt cheery for some reason and she walked passed a room. The door was cracked open and she saw a single person in the room.

She only poked her head through just to see but had seen that it was Piotr his body was covering the canvas he was working on and it made her curious. She slowly began to walk in but stopped. She saw the corner and it was some type of wooded area.

Walking more she accidentally kicked a chair and Piotr immediately stopped. Taking his brush-off of the canvas he tilted his head and saw her.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to disturb you" he placed his things down and quickly began to grab the canvas hiding it b
"Wait...Piotr"

"I do not want you to see..." this shocked Nina and she tilted her head. 
"Wait...what? Why... if I can ask?"
"Because....not finished and I'm not ready....don't worry maybe later"

"Piotr come on, I won't tell anyone"
"It is fine. I'll show you...later"you keep saying that. Later. Later. Later. And later. Does later mean never for you?"

"No no Nina....I just....I do not want you to see.....not yet...I'll let you see someday. So please. Do not worry" biting her lip Nina slowly nodded. 
"Well...I hope you do a good job on it...I wish I could see now....sorry for disrupting you though"

He patted ninas head and smiled.
"I'll give you a hint then. It is of you" he stated and soon began to walk back to his room. Leaving the supplies there smiling she giggled a little and placed her hands on her cheeks.
