Archangel ( An X-men Apocalypse fan fiction)

The X-mansion

                                                                                  Warren's P.O.V

With a loud pop we were at what Cassidy and her friends called the X-mansion. From the looks of it it was pretty well kept, clean, and tidy, and whoever owned it must feel great amounts of pride for it being that way. However, I missed the sanctuary, comfort, and overall grunge rock aesthetic of my old warehouse. I promised myself I would someday come back there at some point. But then I found myself staring at Cassidy as we hung out in the front of the mansion, myself staying close by her.

Nobody has ever been that nice to me in all my life. I still could not comprehend why Cassidy said the things that she said to the other X-men before. Did she really care about me and think I that I deserved a second chance? Many emotions and thoughts were running through my head. My mind spinning at what seemed to be 100 miles per hour.

"Oh thank goodness all of you are safe!" A bald man with a grey suit rode up to us in a wheelchair with big X's on the wheels. He took a look at me and his face grew still. "Who is he and why is he here?" His eyes glued to me. "Ask Cassidy that." I looked in the direction of who spoke, a boy who was a little bit shorter than me with short brown hair in a crew cut , sunglasses, crossed arms and a slight smirk, what was his name... Scott I think. The man in the wheelchair turned and looked at Cassidy. "Explain" He said with a stern face, paying attention only to her. I saw Cassidy looking down slightly whilst twiddling with her thumbs as a distraction. "Cute" I thought. It was kind of like how I opened and closed my wings when I was nervous. "I had Kurt save him when our jet crashed in battle. He was one of Apocalypse's horsemen but I believe he deserves a better life here with us. I could tell he was simply misled and that he's never had a good past." 

Yeah, that last bit was an understatement. 

The man turned towards me and looked at me again. This time his face a little less serious and more calm. "If you two could please come with me towards my office, now." He rolled off to his office and we followed.  "Who's he?" I whispered to Zoe. "He's professor X, the owner of the X-mansion and leader of the X-men." She grabbed my hand, I was assuming out of nervousness. I looked forward, but was secretly drawing shapes on her hand with my thumb. I didn't know how, but she made me feel like I could forget my harsh past and start over, knowing that she would be there for me and would never judge me based on my past and only judge me on my character. At that moment I knew we were certain to be something more. But what, I couldn't pinpoint.

                                                                                Cassidy's P.O.V

I was nervous about where this was headed. Was the professor going to send him away because of his past affiliation with Apocalypse? Would he allow Warren to live and train with us? Many thoughts were running through my head, and it hurt my brain for me to think about it. I took a couple of deep breathes

However, all forms of anxiety and stress seemed to stop when I grabbed and held his hand. He smiled at me slightly, looked forward, and began to draw shapes on my hand with his thumb. I smiled. He lets me know it's alright, I said to myself. Somehow, I am at peace when I'm with him. Somehow, with him, the world seems to slow down. Somehow, in  the big crowds, he seems to be the center of attention. 

After what seemed to be forever, but was in reality 5 minutes, we made it to Professor X's office. 

The professor patted one of the two chairs at his desk, telling us both to sit down. We let go of our hands and looked at him as we sat down and he rolled around to his side of the desk. His eyes were on us. 

"What is your name?" the professor asked, looking at Warren. " Warren Worthington the third" He replied.  "Wow," I thought, "Hearing his full name sounded so regal". the Professor nodded. "What made you decide to join Apocalypse's horsemen?"  What was this, a job interview? Warren was now looking down at his black high top converses, then looked back up at the professor, His wings slightly opening and closing. "Apocalypse offered to give me the chance to fly again. I used to have huge white feather wings that were too damaged to fly from years of being thrown against the electric cage and being shot at during cage fighting." "so that's why he didn't want to tell me about his past earlier", I thought. "He offered me complete freedom and would allow me to do whatever I wanted and live a free life, from my horrible parents and years of cage fighting where we were forced to fight to survive. It was an offer I couldn't refuse at the time." The professor nodded. "Anything else?" He asked. Warren nodded. "At the end of the fight with Apocalypse I was in a plane crash, as Cassidy said earlier. When Kurt saved me I realized that there were people who cared about me, and didn't consider me a freak because of my wings.  I sneaked out of the fight and flew around a corner into an abandoned warehouse I've lived in for years. That's when I met Cassidy. She told me I could live a better life here with you guys and train and learn to use my wings for good. And to be free of my past." 

Professor X was now scratching the stubble on his chin, thinking. "Okay, I have a proposition." He said. "I will allow you to live and train with us. But only on a few conditions." He said. "One, we don't have any vacant rooms. So you'll have to live with Cassidy in her room. Second, Cassidy has been needing to train and learn how to control her powers. You'll have to work with her on that seeing that you two trust one another, and third, Cassidy will be your main guide and helper throughout the beginning of your stay" "Of course, thank you sir." Warren said with a firm nod. 

"What are you waiting for? Go get Warren settled in and then you two can start your training in the morning." professor X said. "Of course, sorry sir." I said. With that, We both stood up from our chairs and left the room,  once the doors to his office closed, we held hands once more while walking to my room.
