x_project | Scott and Ororo Fic

Just a quick story. ;)

"Scott?"

Scott paused and looked back over his shoulder Ororo. His teammate had her arms crossed, one eyebrow raised and was staring out the window. That, Scott sighed, was never a good sign. Especially around the mansion.

A winter wonderland met his gaze as he peered over her shoulder - they'd had a huge snow fall the day before and it looked as if a number of people were out enjoying it. So far, though, he couldn't find one thing that was on fire, bleeding or opening a dimensional portal that could have caught Ororo's attention.

And then he paused.

Bobby, back from Ireland for a few days, was walking backwards. Angel was trotting next to a large snowball that Kyle was shoving with his shoulder as they slowly moved it around on the ground. It was much larger than the firestarter and rapidly growing as Angel melted bits of it so Bobby could ice it over.

Scott's head swiveled to keep up with the three as they slowly moved from one side of the window to the other until they were completely out of sight.

Scott blinked. "We're no longer headmasters," he sang out, grabbing Ororo's hand and yanking her to the relative safety of his suite. There was hot chocolate and Wanda had given him a gift that would go well in the drink...

He sped up his gait when the faint screaming of "OH MY GOD GIANT SNOW--ARGH! *whomp*" echoed from outside.
