Cassidy's P.O.V

I saw Warren give Peter a mean stare and walk over in front of me. He spread his wings wide to protect me. "Whatever you want Maximoff, leave Cassidy out of it. She needs no part of the arguments and issues between us." Warren said with a stern face. I was surprised at how cool he was managing to keep himself together, especially because he was trying to protect me. Warren gave me a reassuring look, and when he did I saw a hint of anger in his eyes, but not for me, for Peter. I saw metal shards start to show from the center of his wings. "oh no.." I thought, "this isn't going to end well." Peter had a look of absolute demise on his face. Without a thought Peter ran over and threw a huge punch. Warren, being his cage-fighting self, dodged it in an instant and very quickly returned the favor with a kick that Peter was able to use his speed to dodge. Peter was able to use his speed to return the favors with a few more rapid fire punches. This caused Warrant to fall to the ground. "WARREN!!!" I cried. I managed to lift warren up by his right arm while Kurt and Scott tried to help me hold him back. it broke my heart when I saw Warren's face. He was unconscious and busted up with wounds that needed stitches with bruises all over. Peter looked ghostlike, he was in utter shock over what he did. I was satisfied at his expression. Nobody, not even old cage-fighters like Warren deserved this. .

We got onto the jet and zoomed back over to the mansion really quickly. I hoped to follow Warren over to the hospital ward but the nurse told me she needed complete and utter silence and nobody else there to help Warren with his stitches. "CASSIDY! PETER! MY OFFICE NOW!" Professor X called as soon as Warren was brought to the hospital ward. I walked with my head down with Peter by my side. I could tell that Peter wanted to talk to me on the way but didn't say anything, probably because he might've not wanted to make me any madder than I already was at him. Sooner or later, we arrived at Professor X's door.

As soon as the two of us walked into his office, Professor X sighed and gestured to us to sit down. Hoe shook his head. "Each of you, one at a time, please explain to me what happened while you were out and why Warren looks so busted up." Professor X said. A brief silence ensued for the next few moments so I decided to speak. "Warren and I and the others were walking out of the movie theater when Peter saw us..." I didn't know what to say that wouldn't be a lie but also not be extremely descriptive. "Kiss and hold hands?" Professor X answered with a serious face. I felt my cheeks warm slightly. "yeah" I said I response. Professor X nodded. I saw Peter in the corner of my eye trying his hardest not to shed a few tears right then and there. "Damn" I thought, "He must be really desperate for me." Peter's true colors were really starting to show.

"What else?" Professor X, gesturing me to continue. I took a breath and then continued. "Peter then came out of the theater last with Kurt and saw us holding hands and kissing. He then ran up to Warren and threatened him because of being with me. Warren spread his wings and tried to protect me as best as he could. Peter gave Warren a few punches that Warren so helpfully returned. After a few more swings Warren fell unconscious onto the ground. We all then broke Peter away from Warren and got Warren here for treatment as quickly as possible."

Professor X nodded. "I see no other reason for you being here at this point. I'm sure Warren is almost done getting checked out by the nurse. If you'd like to go and see him you may. I'm going to be having a friendly chat with Peter here." I nodded and left the room. As soon as I was out of sight, I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Even though Peter tried to beat Warren, even with his powers, Warren was still too strong for him. Peter's speed is no match for Warren's amazingly large silver metal wings and power.

I went to my room to relax on my own until Warren got back. As much as I loved being by Warren's side all the time and hanging out with him, I felt like I just needed time on my own to take care of myself. To relax I decided to take out my Bluetooth speaker and play some music. I connected my speaker to my phone and clicked the play button on my "chill vibes for me" playlist. I lied down on my bed and closed my eyes just as the openings of Hotel California started playing. Before I realized what I was doing I was humming along to the lyrics. I felt myself growing ever so sleepier and soon, the music died down and I fell asleep.

Warren's P.O.V

"Ugh my head", I thought. I rubbed my forehead to try to relieve it as best I could, then took some deep breaths. It wasn't my fault that this happened. All I aimed to do when Peter tried to beat me up was to protect Cassidy with all that I could. " When Peter shows his ugly-ass face again I need to have a good talk with him." I shook my head to get rid of the thought. I didn't need that kind of negative thinking right now.

The nurse told me I was good to go to head back to me and Cassidy's room. I thanked her for the stitches she gave me and I headed out of the Hospital Ward. I walked into Cassidy's room when I heard the starting cords for Rocketman start. I saw Cassidy on her bed sleeping soundly. I smiled to myself, she looked so cute when she slept. I took of my shirt, turned off the music, and crawled into bed with her. I made sure to give her the biggest cuddles ever, as if this was the last night i'd ever see her and feel her embrace in my arms.
