Gwen
Mordred was in pain, he was screaming for her to stop, but she couldn't. The electricity was building around her, she felt like her heart was going to burst.
"NO!"
Gwen sat up quickly, breathing heavily. Just a dream. It was just a dream. She brought her hand up to wipe the sweat beads off her forehead. Glancing over at Mordred, still asleep, she sighed. A dream, that's all.
Gwen lifted the blanket off her legs and made her way to the bathroom. She took a long shower and dressed slowly in tight dirty denim jeans and a caramel long sleeved shirt, her head pounding from the nightmare. She padded into her kitchen and poured herself some water and took two headache tablets.
"A dream..."
She shook her head and went back into her room and grabbed a bag, packing it with more of her things to take to the school.
MOrdred
Mordred rolled over in bed and reached out for Gwen in his sleep. He didn't find her. He sat up in bed. "Gwen? Love?" He spotted her and smiled. "Thought you'd disappeared on me..."
Gwen
Gwen smiled back.
"Yeah, just getting some more stuff to take back."
She sat down on the bed and kissed his head softly.
"Good morning."
MOrdred
"Good morning." Mordred leant in and kissed her softly. "Where did my pants go, after all that?"
Gwen
Gwen looked around and found them on the floor. She handed them to him.
"There ya go."
MOrdred
"Ta, love." He stood and put them on, the scrabbled on the floor for his boots, socks and t-shirt. He sat down on the bed and tugged his Docs on, lacing them up quickly. "We can grab some breakfast when we arrive."
Gwen
"Alright, I'm ready."
Gwen took one last look around at her place, and lifted her bag over her shoulder. She took Mordred's hand.
MOrdred
Mordred 'ported out and materialised in Gwen's room at the Mansion. He let go of Gwen. "I need to have a shower. I'll see ya in the caf in ten or so?"
Gwen
"Yep."
Gwen put her bag down onto the ground and headed for the cafe. She walked in and sat down, ignoring most of the other students.
MOrdred
Mordred headed to his room and showered quickly. Soon redressed in black jeans, black tee and black leather jacket, damp black hair curling around his face. He sat down with Gwen and kissed her cheek. "What do ya want to eat, love? Your wish is my command, as long as it's actually obtainable."
Gwen
Gwen frowned while thinking.
"Um... just toast, I think. And juice."
She smiled at Mordred and kissed him again.
Mordred
"Love you. Be right back." He grinned and then sauntered to get his and Gwen's breakfast. Black coffee and toast for him, juice and toast for Gwen. He sat back down with Gwen. "There ya are, love."
Gwen
"Thanks."
Gwen picked her juice up and started to drink it slowly.
"Do you have to go to class today?"
Mordred
"I'm sure I can get out of it. Fudge it somehow. The prof's pretty cool about things really." He leant in and lifted a strand of hair from her face.
Gwen
Gwen smiled.
"Nah, you should go to class. I have to do some practice later on anyway. Control. I'm getting better, so that's good, I guess."
MOrdred
"Ok. But I don't need to go for a bit." Mordred started to eat his breakfast thoughtfully. "Got a Danger Room session today though. That's not gonna be fun..."
Gwen
Gwen chewed on her toast, then washed it down with some more juice.
"Same. I should go see Bobby later though. Then I'll need to see the Professor. Wanna meet up for a late lunch?"
Mordred
"Sounds fine to me, love." Mordred smiled, and then blew on his hot black coffee to cool it down slightly. "Any other plans?"
Gwen and Bobby
"Not really. That's basically it. What about you?"
Gwen smiled at Bobby as he walked in. He gave a friendly wave and then sat down to have some breakfast.
MOrdred
"Class, class, break, danger room session, lunch, trip to the Medlab..." Mordred grinned slightly. "Wolverine and Nyx think if I'm stupid enough to stay still long enough that they can touch me, I deserve everything I get."
Gwen
Gwen finished her juice.
"Oh well... you're good, you hold your own."
She cracked her knuckles. There was a topic she had to bring up between them soon, but she didn't want to. She'd put it off until she talked to the professor.
MOrdred
"Ta, love. Getting better, anyway." Mordred finished his toast then got to his feet. "Well, I'm off. I've got to get ready for class."
Gwen
Gwen smiled and left also. She headed off to see the Professor. Knocking on the door, she entered when she heard him ask her to come in.
"Hi."
"Gwen, please take a seat."
Gwen sat down nervously.
Xavier smiled at her. "So how's the controlling going?"
"Well... I think. It's getting easier, and I'm getting to a point where if I touch someone, it'll just be like an electric shock. I think by next month, I'll be good with it."
"That's excellent progress, well done."
"Thank you. But... will I be leaving once I've mastered?"
"I would say you are free to go now. Well, actually, you've always been free to go. But, you are safely able to go right now. Just practice, is what you need."
Gwen nodded. "I want to go home. But I don't want to leave everyone here. That's the problem."
"It is. And a large one. But one you have to work out for yourself, I'm afraid."
Gwen nodded again and stood up. "Thank you." She turned and left his office, heading for Bobby's class to meet him.
Mordred
Mordred went and did his work. A pleased type of grin on his face made everyone else breathe a sigh of relief. Obviously whatever had had him so uptight and aggressive was now worked out. And then it was his Danger Room session. Once again, he acquited himself well for about ten minutes, then had his arse steadily kicked by Spike. AT least it wasn't Nyx. There was something so humilating about having your arse handed to you on a platter by a woman who just reaches your chin, he didn't care how old and powerful she was.
"Good workout today," Spike said cheerfully. Mordred rolled his eyes and headed off to the Medlab, holding his ribs carefully. Soon, he was all bandaged up and ready to meet Gwen for lunch. He decided to go and do some homeworl for a bit before hand though.
Gwen and Bobby
Bobby walked Gwen to the cafe. He kissed her cheek. "Welcome back. I'd come in, but I have major catch up to do. See ya later?"
Gwen smiled. "Course."
She waved and went through the door, her eyes scanning the room for Mordred.
Mordred
Mordred sighed and got to his feet. Who the bloody hell really cared about what had happened to some bint called...hell, he couldn't even pronounce it. He shoved the book back into its place and decided to go find Gwen. Soon, he entered the cafeteria and looked the room over. He soon spotted Gwen and headed over. "So, did ya talk to Bobby?" He asked as he sat beside her.
Gwen
Gwen kissed his cheek once he was seated.
"Yeps. Just a short one. But nice, ya know? Saw the Professor too. How was class? Learn anything exciting?"
Mordred
"Oh, loads. I now know more about the effects of drought on the South American economic system then I ever really wanted to." Mordred rolled his eyes. "Started as a geography lesson...rapidly becoming a hodgepodge of different things such as politics, history, and the socioeconomic background of the Europeans versus the natives."
Gwen
Gwen moved a stray hair from her eyes. She grinned sympathetically at Mordred.
"Aww, my poor boy. You're all bored... I might be able to fix that."
She leaned in and kissed him passionately and pulled away once they were both breathless.
"Still bored?"
