Johan, Doug and Rahne
Johan woke up & stretched & looked over at the other bed. Doug was fast asleep in it. He got up, went & had a shower & came back to his room to find Rahne standing at the door, staring.
"Rahne?" he asked softly from behind her
She spun around quickly not knowing what to do.
"Ach! Hi Johan! Um...yeah..I got to..." she said quickly, trying to think of an excuse to go.
"You aren't going anywhere" Johan said sturnly.
He walked in the room & looked around for Doug. He wasn't there.
"Hes not here Rahne. Wanna come in?" he asked, hoping she would accept.
"Yes please Jo!" Rahne walked in quickly & sat herself down on Johans armchair.
"Whats up?" Johan asked.
"Well.." Rahne started but then got distracted. She smelt the air & shifted into her half wolf form.
She prowled towards the door, growling while Johan asked her what was wrong. She opened the door to see Nyx standing there.
NYx
"Calm down, wolfling," Nyx said calmly as she looked at the shifted girl. "You ain't got nothing on *real* wolves. Faffy could whip your ass quick as blinking becuase you only wear the wolf, you aren't the wolf." She looked past Rahne to Johan. "You alright, sweetie? The offer to commit vengeance is still open. Or are you going to be all mature? Trust me, immaturity is more fun."
Rahne and Johan
Rahne looked back at Johan. He looked in her eye to see a look of betrayel & jealousy.
"Sweetie?" Rahne asked, "Why you sweetie?"
Rahne looked back at Nyx. Her human mind couldn't understand why she was acting this way. But her wolf mind & instincts was being extremely territorial.
"Rahne, just calm down alright" Johan pleaded, "Nothing is going on. We just had a chat last night when I...wasn't feeling to well."
With that Rahne shifted back into human form & looked at Johan & saw what he meant by "not feeling well". She turned back to Nyx & glared at her.
"You weren't the one casuing him to..."not feel well" were you?" Rahne asked
Nyx shook her head.
"Good. Because, if you were, you do know I would have to hurt you. Because no one hurts my friends"
Nyx
"Awwwww, you're sweet, wolfling." Nyx smiled. "See, I say we kill him. Pleeeeasseeeee?" She batted her eyelids. "I'm not his type anyway. And if I had, he'd be hurting cos Logan's *most* possessive. I kinda think he's sweet, and I like him. In a little brother type of way."
Rahne and Johan
"Ok...good. Just as long as we are clear" Rahne said, pausing & thinking for a second. She then turned to Johan & asked "Kill who?"
"Ummmmm...." Johan replied, not sure what to say
Nyx
"Bad, bad dog! Rrrrufff! Rrrrufffruff!" Nyx barked, then giggled hysterically. "You won't get that. Ah well." She shrugged. "A bad rude man, wolfling. Just a little thing. But he's being the forgiving noble type which is more then I get."
Rahne and Johan
Rahne look at the girl confused & then to Johan
"Okay. I'm going now. I'll talk to you later" she said & then truend towards the door & opened it. She stopped & turned & said "Can you not tell Doug I was here? Thanks". With that she closed the door & walked away.
"Thanks" Johan sai, looking at Nyx
Nyx
"You asked me to keep a secret. Screwing with people's minds so they stop asking is a specialty of mine." Nyx shrugged and lay down on one of the beds. She rolled onto her stomach and laced her feet together at the ankles as she leaned her head on her arms. "Need to talk more? Of course, I always tend to be the dumper, then the dumpee, but I always make it kind. I *never* do that. Once a girl did that to me...you don;t want to know what I did, trust me," she cut off the questions before they could start.
Johan
"Okay" Johan said & then sighed, "I've had a think about it. I'm alright with it. I'm happy for Roberto. He's got a cool chick, he got what he wanted from me. I just read into it too much I think. But it's all over & done with, I can get on with my life. I'm gonna forget the whole thing happened & move on. No vengence needed thanks" Johan said, looking at Nyx.
Nyx
"Ok. Hands off from me." But I *still* plan on telling the Mavericks. Her smile was innocent. "What you need, sweetie, is a boyfriend. A nice one." She drummed her fingers against the coverlet on the bed. "Who do I know...Vort is happily wrapped up in Spike, and *that* was a total surprise. But it works wonderfully well. Tavvie dearling is shagging Jack's brains out like the upperclass British gentleman he is. Rule Brittannia forever." She giggled. "I love British guys. They're so...mmm. Delicously decadent. I *think* that the blue Spanish guy is gay." She pursed her lips thoughtfully. "But not certain."
Johan
Johans curiosity was tweeked. He couldn't remember a blue spanish person.
"Blue Spanish guy?" he asked.
Nyx
"Yeah...surely you've seen them? Blue people are a little noticable. There's the twins, Claudia and Estrella. Hlaf mutant, half alien. And Enrique. He's just a sweet little boy. Half mutant, half Bracchen demon. Miguel is the oldest. Full mutant. He looks at girls, but the spark button doesn't light up, you know?" She traced a figure of eight in the ear with her hand. "F'r example, I can *always* smell arousal. Even just that bit that means, yeah, nice. Mom's the goddess, Bastet, makes me and my sibs very sensitive to that type of thing. Anyway, look at me, nada. Look at Sabre...spung! But I don't think he's *out* yet."
Johan and Doug
"Oh Okay." Johan said with a smile, "Thats a pretty cool power to have. I probably have seen them but haven't taken much notice. I only remember the face of people who are important in my life, in both good ways & bad. I'll keep an eye..." he continued but was then interupted as Doug opened the door & walked into the room.
Doug looked over to see Nyx laying on his bed.
"Um...hey?" he said confused.
Nyx
Nyx raised an eyebrow languidly, making no effort to move. "Yesssssss?" Her tone was unimpressed. "So, anyway. Or, did you see the builder guy Xavier has into to do some renovations? Buff. Very, very buff. And gay. He made no bones about it. Pity. I could so have gone for him...if I wasn't already with Logan." She switched back to Johan.
Johan and Doug
Johan looked at Nyx nervously & then at Doug, who was now at his computer, typing.
"Um...no, I haven't seen him Nyx but Roberto is taken now anyways!" Johan said glaring at Nyx.
Doug laughed & said "Thats old news Johan. I bet everyone knows. I don't think Roberto would like the idea of you talking about setting him up with people especially now that he's taken." With that he spun around in his chair to see Johan looking down at the floor nervously. Johan looked up to see Doug looking at him.
"Wait..." Doug started, "Your not talking about Berto are you?"
Johan shoke his head slowly. "No"
Doug couldn't believe what he was hearing. He & Johan had been roommates for quite a while now & Doug saw Johan as his best friend in the Institute. He coudln't hadnle what was going on. First he was having problems with Rahne, the girl he liked & now it turned out his roommate & best friend had been lying to him. He just couldn't deal with it.
"I...I...I gotta go" Doug said, walking out the room.
"F***" Johan said to himself & then turned to look at Nyx.
Nyx
Nyx put her hands up defensively. "What the hell does it matter anyway if you like guys? Hell, I've made no bones about liking girls as much as guys, sometimes better. I think everyone knows I was in a trio with Spike and Dru a couple of decades ago." She sighed. "He'll be hurt, but then he'll get over it. Besides, hello, teacher here. Counselling! You could make it my job description besides the kicking of ass and physical training." She pointed at Johan. "I have had enough of some people in this school being smallminded. That girl is one example, whatever the hell her name was who started that fight with you and your other friends. And sorry?" She tilted her head slightly. "Didn't think it would matter. Thought you were out. I have a big mouth and little tact."
Johan
Johan sneered at the mention of Monet.
"You mean Monet!" he said through gritted teeth.
He stopped & thought for a few seconds.
"No, I'm not "out"...well entirely anyways. But, I dunno, i didn't want it to be this way. I wanted to tell him...oh well. Too late now." Johan continued, ending the sentence with a sigh. "Should I go look for him?"
Nyx
"He's your friend, I don't know him that well." Nyx shrugged. "I'd make sure when you do talk to him, it's private when you do. And hey, any time you want to talk, look me up."
Johan
"Okay. Thanks, I will. I'm gonna go & try & fond Doug before my firsy class! See ya Nyx!" Johan said, walking out the door.
Nyx
Nyx got up, stretched, then padded off to check the security. She had the same itchy feeling Logan had. Someone was watching the school, and they didn't know who or why.
