"I'm not sure. Well, what's this whole deal between Jean, Scott, and Mr. Logan?" she sasks listening and watching Collossus intently.

colossus - "long story short, cyclops and jean have been together since before i joined. then logan arrived. he wanted jean, and he was quite public about it, but she stayed with cyclops. then the other day they broke up, the first i heard of it was on the jet on the way back from muir island. you were unconscious so you missed it. right now i don't know what they are doing..."

Michael sat outside in the backyard on a bench in the dark.

"Sad really." Celia said. "So tell me aout yourself."

Michael started to think if sinister was telling the truth or was he lying to him to get him on his side.

colossus - "well i am from Lake Baikal in Siberia, i grew up on a small farm. When i was a teenager the proffessor recruited me to join the x-men. i like to paint and draw, and i regularly beat bobby on playstation... anything else?"

Celia laughed softly. "Russian? Wow, I've always wanted to visit St. Petersburg or Moscow." she said sipping her orange juice.

colossus - "Da, it is a beautiful country, an artist's dream. One of my few regrets with joining the X-men was that i don't go home as much as i like."

Celia frowned. "Can't you visit your home now that we're not on a mission?" she asks softlly. Sincerity sparkled in her eyes mixed with concern.

Colossus - "I could, but you see there is a lot of pain at home. A few years ago my family was killed in a fire, so i have nobody to go home to. As much as i love my country i do not think i could bare the pain..."

Celia felt bad now. "I am so sorry." she said reaching out and placing her hand on his.

*colossus smiled at her*

colossus - "No matter what you may think, you have one person who appreciates you being at the mansion."

Celia blushed. "Thanks." she said smiling.

*colossus shifted nervously*

colossus - "uh celia......"

Celia gasped. "Oops" she said retreting her hand from his and blushing furiously. "I am so sorry. I shouldn't have."

colossus - "No, its not that, i mean, i don't mind, i... uh... sorry... i... maybe... we should head back."

"If you want too." Celia said still drinking from her glass. She allowed her eyes to meet his and nodded. "I am no rush just enjoying good company of a friend."

colossus - "a friend, yes of course, we are good friends."

*he sighed, knowing he had missed a possible opportunity*

colossus - "We can stay if you like..."

magneto walked into the danger room control room. "hello scott" he said to cyclops. "ah, i see youre introducing noah to sentinels."

Celia could see the disappointment but thought it was because of the way she acted. "If you don't mind, I'd like to stay and talk."
