Chapter 233: Ororo’s Training & Date with Jean…

[POV Ororo]

"Let's take a break" Rumi said and I finally dropped on the floor. I should have known that Rumi is a training freak… I was completely spent. Rumi can easily be referred to as a trainer from hell. Never in my life, I have trained so intensely…

I needed to drink some water and wipe off the sweat… my eyes turned towards the corner of the room. Rumi always insisted that I must keep my stuff there, I felt the floor was quite comforting and I just wanted to keep sitting here but I knew that it was a pipe dream.

Rumi will force me to get up as soon as the break ends and if by that time I didn't drink water then I will have to continue just like that. I glared at Rumi who was pulling up massive weights… yes, when she gives me a break she starts to work out physically. With a lot of struggle, I was able to pull myself from the floor and somehow walked to the corner and took out my water bottle from my bag.

I sat down beside my bag and gulped down all the water I could and put the bottle back in my bag. Now, that I have dealt with my thirst, I pulled out a towel and started to wipe off my sweat. My eyes darted towards Rumi and I cringed when I saw her working out so intensely… Thank God, she doesn't force me to physically work out like her.

She only makes me work out a little bit before she starts training me… she calls it warm-up but I don't think that warm-up could be that intense. After that, she starts to train me in magical arts. And that is why I am currently in this condition… I didn't train physically with her but she pushes me so far during my magical training that my body starts to get tired.

But I won't say that the training Rumi has been putting me through has not helped me. I am now able to cast some magical spells without a problem… I could feel that my control over the magic inside my body was increasing continuously. I am glad that I had a power like this… or I would have been left behind by Jean. She is getting trained by Fleur, another Phoenix, and Jean is getting stronger with each passing day…

Jean has gone through a lot of changes recently, it has been a week since she has killed Charles, and it's wasn't like that she had just killed Charles, she absorbed his vitality. Jean also mentioned that Charles's death wasn't painless. Since the day Reo destroyed the blocks on Jean, I knew that she was going to kill Charles. At first, I felt bad for the Professor but no matter how much I tried I wasn't able to bring myself to care for him…

I have lost all of my respect for him… yes, I understand that he had helped me when needed but I have seen that he turned a blind eye towards his own kind, us, the meta-humans when we needed him most. I can understand his love for the humans but I started to hate it when he blatantly disregarded the abuse we were receiving from the humans.

Enough about that dead fool… Jean told me what they found in Russia and honestly, I was completely appalled after hearing that. Jean told me how they had planned to ambush them in India but instead, all of them were killed by Jean. Even though she didn't mention it but it was quite clear that she was pretty excited because she won the challenge…

She cashed out her win today and took Reo on a date. Honestly, I am jealous of her… I wanted to be in her place so badly. At first, I was interested in him but then I found that he was involved with several girls, which discouraged me slightly, but I was kind of getting used to the idea because of how happy the girls were.

The most interesting part was his power, I don't know why but his power attracted me. I almost jumped him when I saw him the day after he destroyed Nebraska City, I had to use all of my willpower to stop myself from doing that. There was no way in hell that I will do that… at least in the open. I would like to keep my bedroom adventures in my bedroom, thank you very much!!

Some flats were already ready and meta-humans were already moving in. The management is using a first come first serve policy, after all, it was only fair. Who came first on this island they will get their houses first before the others.

"Breaks over!" Rumi snarked in my direction. She is completely different during training… I groaned and pulled myself up from the floor and joined Rumi for my magic training…

[POV Reo]

I was relaxing under the shade of the umbrella with Jean by my side. After she won the small challenge a week ago, she asked me for a date. I had no idea what kind of dates she liked so I directly asked her… she said that she liked picnic kinds of dates. It meant dates away from crowds and crowded places. That is why I planned to have a picnic on the west side of the island. No one visits this side of the island… except Luna. She comes here frequently along with Attila.

Sometimes I think that Attila isn't my familiar with how close the two of them are. Well, I am not complaining, with how busy I am usually, I am kind of happy that Attila is being taken care of.

"What are you thinking about?" Jean asked me while pulling down her shades from her eyes.

"Sorry, I was lost in some thoughts" I apologized, after all, I was on a date and it was rude to ignore your date.

"It's no problem… but it is clear that you were worried about something" Jean said while leaning forward and she pulled her knees to her chest to support herself.

"I was thinking about Attila, I am glad that she is being taken care of" I said and I noticed that as soon as mentioned Attila Jean's whole body shuddered. Jean is not a fan of Attila, in truth, she is kind of scared of Attila but she would never accept it…

"Please don't talk about that…" Jean murmured in a low tone. I gave her an amused smile which she didn't seem to notice.

Without saying anything I pulled the picnic basket from my side and pulled out two bottles of beer. Yes, I know that wine would have been best but we still haven't eaten anything and the wine feels much better after a meal. I handed a bottle to Jean who accepted the bottle with a smile.

"Thank you" she thanked me and used her power to open the bottle, I did the same with mine and took a small swig.

"So, why did you suddenly decide to help mortals?" Jean suddenly asked me, I wasn't expecting a question like that. At least not from her but I wasn't offended because it was a question that would pop up inside anyone's mind.

"Well, I wanted to do something for the meta-humans" I answered in a dismissive manner. This was our first date and I wasn't going to blab about God's mission to her.

"Um, I am not complaining. I am rather glad that you decided to help us but I am kind of curious… I have asked the Phoenix, she told me that beings like you don't meddle in mortal affairs" Jean said in a defensive and curious tone.

"Yes, beings like us usually don't, but I felt that I should do something about it. Since I had decided to do it… I will obviously see it through even though my initial plans had changed. When I arrived here, I decided to check the mutant groups… Xavier Mansion and the Brotherhood of mutants was my obvious choice" I said and took a sip from my bottle. I saw that Jean was intently listening to me…

"I sent Rumi to the Brotherhood and I decided to infiltrate Xavier Mansion. At first, I wanted to use subterfuge to get everyone on my side but the assassination of the Kelly family and the First Lady ruined all those plans… I needed to make a bold move to save everyone and you already know the rest" I said to Jean and smiled.

"Are you going to leave after you are done with Elysium?" Jean asked me with a  worried look on her face.

"No, I have decided to stay in this world… two decades in the least. I don't know if I will decide to stay longer or not… after all, time isn't a matter to beings like us" I said and transfigured the bottle into a life-like small model of the Phoneix Force. The bird started to fly around Jean, she started to laugh and fly with the small Phoenix model.

I pulled our picnic basket and started to prepare our meal… everything was already prepared. I just needed to set everything up and arrange it before us…
