Archangel ( An X-men Apocalypse fan fiction)

Jean's nightmare

*Author's note: Sorry for the drastic change but Zoe's name is now Cassidy

                                                                             Warren's P.O.V

I studied Cassidy's face, with my callused hands cupping her cold tender cheeks, and saw a look of fear and worry. Her under-eyes had defined bags and was grey and droopy. It looked as if she wasn't sleeping well at all, which I knew she wasn't. Seeing the gloom and sadness on her face was heartbreaking. I never wanted her to feel like this because of me. "Before you say anything angel, I want you to know that I know you didn't mean to lose control of your powers this morning. I should've been more careful with my surroundings." She smiled faintly, grabbed my hands tight and gave a quiet chuckle while slowly shaking her head. "That's not it, I know now that that was an accident and that you are okay. That we are okay. I have a something I need to tell you, and you cannot, and I mean cannot, tell anyone else what I am about to say." I nodded in reply, but then thought for a moment. " You could choose anybody else in this mansion, and you choose me to tell this to. Why?" Cassidy looked up at me with a slightly serious look on her face. "Because you've experienced what it's like to be on the wrong side, and I know you won't judge me .O r worse, be afraid of me, because of this." She said in reply as she raised her fists. "Then what do you have to tell me?" I asked.

"Do you remember when I told you that my powers are stronger than anyone else's here? And that that was the reason why I trained alone?" I nodded in reply, remembering that moment in time. 

"There's a reason for that, i-it's because I am Magneto's granddaughter. I inherited the strength of his powers." My eyes widened in disbelief. I then started pacing around the room as a kind of coping mechanism to the intake of this information, which frankly, I have never done before. 

Did find out more information on your parents?" I asked her, with my arms behind my head. She nodded"I found out my mother's name was Wanda Smith. She is Magneto's daughter. Her brother is Peter Maximoff. My mom and dad died in battle while fighting with the avengers a year or so after I was born. She left me at Professor X's doorstep, hoping that he'd take care of me." I nodded, gesturing her to go on.

"I haven't heard from my Uncle Peter before, but I presume he lives alone nearby the mansion somewhere." I did small deep breaths to calm me down from the intake of all of this information. I knew that even though she was the descendant of a villain, a villain that I worked with, she had no evil intentions. Cassidy was my girlfriend, my angel. The most amazing, kind, caring, and funniest person I knew. She would never ever thinking about being alongside her grandfather. 

There was a brief silence that was broken by loud screams coming from Jean and Jubilee's room. Me and Cassidy looked in shock at one another, and then burst out the door running to see what happened. When we ran into their room, Jubilee wasn't there, but Jean was sitting upright in her covers, with sweat dripping down her forehead. A look of fear plastered onto her face that transitioned into a calm relaxed look when she saw me and Cassidy run in. "What happened? Did you have a nightmare?" Cassidy asked, her hands on jean's shoulder. Jean nodded. "Strangely enough, it involved you. You were wearing a tight red suit with a braid cascading down your back. Your eyes were burning red. You were punching all of the x-men, defeating them, you even defeated him." She said, turning her head to look at me. I turned to look at Cassidy and saw a slight hint of fear in her eyes. I took her hand, squeezed it tight, and gave her a peck on her forehead. She looked up at me, now a little bit more reassured that everything would be alright. I smiled to calm her even further. 

We stayed with Jean for a few more minutes, to help calm her down. We just talked and laughed the time away. Cassidy then looked at her phone and saw that it was about time to get ready to head out to the mall. "By the way, you never told us what we're going to be seeing today?" Cassidy asked Jean with her head slightly tilted. Jean smirked, "It's a surprise. I chose this movie especially for you." Cassidy gave a long groan while rolling her eyes and then stomped off into our room. When she was out of sight me and Jean laughed, shaking our heads. "Cassidy must hate surprises" I thought with a smile. "Yes, she definitely does" Jean thought back to me with a smile. I then left to catch up to Cassidy.

                                                                        Cassidy's P.O.V

I was terrified after Jean told me about her nightmare. Jean's nightmares were very special, because they'd either tell the future, or give a glimpse of something that could happen down the road. I was determined not to let that dream become a reality. I never in my life hoped to hurt let alone kill anyone. I especially didn't want to hurt or kill Warren, because I knew I couldn't bear with myself if I did that. I shook my head, trying to get those dark pictures out of my own thoughts. What was important was that we were both here now, together, with each other. Warren 

I met Warren and the others in the common area. Everybody was dressed in going out outfits. While everyone was in slightly nicer tops and skirts/pants, I noticed Warren and I were the only ones who seemed under dressed. Even though his outfit was a little bit more casual than the others, to me it didn't really matter. He could have been wearing only a pair of old ripped and torn up skinny jeans and his leather jacket in a group of people in fancy dark suits and I'd still love him and think that he was the star of the room.

Warren was wearing a pair of Scott's shorts with a white t-shirt of mine and his black leather jacket that he was wore the first time I met him. I smiled to myself, he looked like a modern day greaser or T-bird. I also noticed he wet his hair a little and that his curls were a little bit puffier, in his more natural style. His soft blond hair was now in more of a subtle mullet style, which made him seem even more retro. Warren then saw me walking to the group and ran up to me and gave me a hug and a big kiss, as if we haven't seen each other for months. I saw the others glance our way, with a smirk, especially Jubilee and Kurt. I ignored them as I stared deeply into Warren's eyes. That moment of peace between us was interrupted when Scott coughed, clearly trying to get our attention. I glanced around at the others and blushed, everyone was looking at the two of us and had smirks and arched eyebrows. However, Kurt looked down at the ground with a slight frown and his arms crossed. A look of disappointment rested on his face. I sighed. I loved Kurt, but as a brother and best friend. I knew he had feelings for me but he needed to snap out of it and realize that I loved Warren. The others went back to their normal chattering as Warren wrapped his arm around my waist, looking deep into my eyes.

"Where should we go to get Warren and Cassidy some new outfits?" Jubilee asked Jean with an excited look on her face. That dragged Warren and I out of our thoughts. I could tell she was looking forward to shopping, especially since it was for a date between me and Warren, though she didn't know that there would be one. I could only imagine the kinds of outfits she'd pick out for me at the mall. "Hmm how about the new shopping center just around the corner? You know, the one where we went to after fighting Apocalypse?"Scott said. I saw Warren shudder slightly as he heard that name. I could tell that he never wanted to hear that name again. Jubilee smiled. "Yeah! That's a good spot. The movie theater is just around the corner from there as well!"

Though I tried to hide it and forget it, the memory of Jean's nightmare was engraved in my mind. It kept playing over and over on repeat. "Please stop..." I told myself.

All I could say was that I definitely thought this afternoon would be interesting...
