Shatter winced as the icey cold water hit her shoulders, running down her naked form and releasing the tension from the 'fight' earlier on, it was peaking on the very early hours of the morning and she really doubted if she'd get any sleep.
Spending no more than 5 minutes under the shower she reached blindly for the towel, drying herself off along with her hair and padding out to the hall.
Cain begins laughing as he crosses his arms.
"I wouldn't have it any other way. His foolish words falls on deaf ears you know. But don't worry your pretty little head. I'll be gone before you know it. In two days I'll save you all from destruction"
Cain remembers that he must fight the Exemplars and the thought of death creeps in his mind yet again. His smile turns into a look of fear.
"...or die trying...I told her...NO...Nothing stops The Juggernaut...I'll..."
Storm looks into Cains eyes."You care for her don't you? Cain you maybe able to hide it from everyone else but I know that look in an man's face.That look that tells I'm not only fighting for myself but for someone else."Storm stood up and placed the book on the table"Don't worry about it.After all nothing stops the Juggernaut right."
"You're trying to get in my head...I hate it when people try to get in my head, you may not be a telepath but you are still trying to read me. I'd advise you to stop and leave me alone before I get really angry. I care for no one but my brother Tom, everyone knows that. I promised Rogue that I'll come back and finish our fight, that's it. Nothing more nothing less. Once I come back more powerful than before then I'll come back and give her that painless death I promised. I can't die, I won't die, I'm the Juggernaut!"
Storm eyes shifted into their famus white."Read you.I wouldn't even dare to read you.I tend to read books not people.If you say you don't then you don't.One day she will need the Professor,Jean,or Emma to help out with something and they'll come across it.Pray you that if you do your other enemies won't find out."
"Empty threats Storm. That's all I hear from ya. I thought we already proved that my invulnerability was greater than any element you could ever throw at me. Even if I do kill her and you feel the pain of the loss of a friend, there is nothing YOU can do to gain any type of vengeance at all now is there? Now if you will excuse me, I got a mansion to guard."
He moves out of her way and walks through the door and sits near the steps outside. It was easy for him to put up a front, he doesn't care if she hates him, in fact he hopes that she does. He then calms down and starts talking to himself.
"Hey Cyttorak, I know you're there. Listen, I ain't going soft on ya again or anything like that. I'll fight for you and win your little tournament against the other Exemplars. Just give me the strength I need to make it back. All I ask is for Rogue to not have to mourn the loss of a friend or whatever we are. You know just like I do that you'll never find another Avatar as good as me right?"
