Walk Away
Sorry about the long wait! Hope I made up for it! XD I’ve been really into writing Simpson stories lately!
I’m sure you’re gonna hate me in the next few chapters!! (Including this one!!) But even if it doesn’t seem like it, there will be a happy ending!!! I promise!! I just had this idea nagging in the back of my head and it won’t leave me alone til’ I put it in this story!! Sorry if you don’t like it, but I’m not gonna change what happens!!
Also, I know this is after the Apocalypse but for this story I’m going to have all of the kids in school, just so you know!!
Chapter 5-Walk Away
Storm stood in her room, shocked at what she’d seen. ‘I…just can’t believe it!’ She thought, staring down at the floor as water dripped off her, wetting the carpet below her. ‘All these years I’ve known him, and he never even hinted that he was…’ She couldn’t say that word, it just didn’t fit her image of Charles, though strangely it seemed to fit Erik perfectly. ‘I…don’t know how to face him…after seeing him and Erik…like that.’ Storm sighed heavily and walked slowly to her adjoining bathroom.
The door was closed after her, and upon entry, Storm stripped out of her wet clothes, dropping them wherever as she headed to the shower. She turned the water on and sighed as she stepped under the warm spray. Storm leaned against the wall, letting the water warm her cold skin. “What am I…supposed to do now?” She questioned softly to the empty room, her shoulders shaking as she cried softly, feeling despair take her over.

Charles tried several times to talk to Storm about what had happened outside, needing to tell her how he felt. But everytime the telepath had found her, Ororo had made some excuse to get away, effectively avoiding him. Charles sighed, finally giving up for the day, entirely forgetting their two guests, and the fact that the students would be home soon, with no knowledge of the presence of two of their former enemies.

Kurt, Kitty, Rogue, Rahne and Jamie were home first in Kurt’s Jeep. The two younger kids rushed inside, babbling excitedly about school. The three older kids walked more slowly, talking together about the dance that was going to be Friday night. They were so into the conversation that they almost ran into Jamie and Rahne who had stopped suddenly in the middle of the foyer. “Hey, what are you guys doing?” Kurt asked them before following their gaze to the figure they were staring at.
“Wanda? What are you doing here?” Rogue asked in a shocked voice. Before the black-haired girl could answer, the door opened and Spyke entered carrying his skateboard, followed by Scott and Jean with their arms around each other. Amara, Bobby and Ray were arguing about something as they entered behind the couple. Roberto, Jubilee and Sam were talking softly, entering directly after the other three. Everyone stopped talking abruptly when they saw Wanda standing in the foyer. The silence disappeared when a tall figure entered the foyer from the kitchen, holding a sandwich in his hand. There were gasps of surprise as Magneto entered the room. He stopped to observe the students with raised eyebrows before all hell broke loose.

Charles was in his office reading, when he heard shouting coming from the front of the house. He sighed, marking his place in the book and setting it on the couch he was sitting before sliding into his wheelchair. He’d gotten used to breaking up arguments between the residents living here. A house full of hormonal teenagers was bad enough, but ones with mutant powers quickly got way out of hand. As he hurriedly rolled down the hall, the sound of Scott’s eyebeams going off alarmed him. ‘Even if Scott became mad, he’d never use his beams for fear of hurting anyone!’ Charles rolled quickly into the foyer where the noise was, only to feel anger fill him.
“Everyone stop this at once!!” He shouted, startling everyone into silence. The kids were standing around, all ready for a fight. Scott’s face was red with anger and shock, the hate emanating off him was almost tangible. His hand was still on his glasses, ready to push them up and release those deadly beams once again. There was a hole in the kitchen door where the red beams had sliced through. Several of the students looked frightened, most angry at seeing him here. Magneto stood calmly, facing their wrath with a stoic expression.
“You’re lucky I didn’t come here as an enemy, Cyclops.” Erik said in a dark voice. He stalked off towards his room, eating the food in his hand as he went. Wanda was standing far away from everyone, giving the assembled group a wary look. Charles sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead as he felt the anger of the group begin to overwhelm him, the intensity making it impossible to block completely.
“What…the hell…are they doing here?!” Scott asked in a low dark voice. His fists were clenched hard and he trembled with anger.
“They are my guests Scott,” Charles replied, trying to gauge everyone’s reactions.
“I don’t understand how you could let them stay here!!” He was shouting by now, and there were a few mumbled ‘yeas’ here and there.
“You should know why, Scott. You’ve known me for a long time, you should know by now that I believe people can change.”
“But….he….you just can’t…” He was too angry to make a complete sentence. Charles sat calmly in his chair, watching Scott with an impassive expression on his face.
“This is my home and I can let anyone I want stay here for as long as they wish.” He ground out in a cold voice, brooking no room for argument. Scott’s mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but his jaw snapped shut. He frowned until his mouth was just a slit on his face, then he spun on his heel and rushed out of the house, slamming the door hard behind him. After a moment, Jean followed after him. *I’ll see if I can calm him down.* Charles heard Jean say telepathically to him. Rogue was the first to break the silence, she walked over and stood next to Wanda.
“How about I take you shopping?” Rogue asked softly, trying to get Wanda out of the house to maybe try and ease some of the tension. She felt like her and Wanda had a lot in common and wanted to know more about her. The elder girl gave a slight nod and followed Rogue out of the house, breathing a small sigh of relief once they were outside.

Storm was packing her belongings into bags and had heard all the commotion downstairs, and knew the students were home. She hoped Charles would be able to handle them. ‘I…am really going to miss everyone…’ She thought, feeling tears stream down her face. ‘But I simply can’t stay here any longer, it’s too painful to be near Charles. Especially now I know that…he and Erik are…’ She frowned and tossed her bag over her shoulder.
Biting her lip, she hurried out of the room and into Charles’. She stuck a note partly under the lamp on his bedside table, then slid out of the room and headed to his den. She moved over to one of his many bookcases and slid one of her favorite books off the shelf, she held it close to her body. “I’m sorry, my dear Charles…” She whispered, hurrying downstairs. She stopped just before going into the foyer. Thankfully Charles’ back was to her and the children were too busy listening to his lecture to notice her as she slipped through the kitchen, heading to the back door of the mansion. She sighed slightly as she stepped out onto the lawn. Throwing one last look at the home she had lived in for a great many years, she turned her back on it and left.

Charles sighed in irritation. He had managed to calm just about all the students, but the next few days, or weeks, were certainly going to be tense and awkward around here. He headed to his den, needing to relax. As he browsed through the many books he had, he noticed one was missing. He smiled as he realized it was Storm’s favorite book. ‘I should see how she’s doing with this, I never asked her how she felt about Erik and Wanda staying here.’ He made his way down to her room, only to find it empty. Completely empty, as if she had never been there. “What’s going on?” He wondered aloud. Scanning the house, he found no trace of her at all. He headed back down the hall, intent on going to Cerebro in order to find her, but something compelled him to go into his room first. Looking around the room, he caught sight of a piece of paper under his lamp. Moving over, he tugged it out and began to read it.
Dear Charles,
I’m leaving the X-Men. I’m sorry about this, I just can’t stay anymore. I’ll miss everyone, but I’ll miss you the most Charles. Please, don’t worry about me. Don’t try and find me. I just can’t take this pain anymore.
Love,
Ororo Munroe
Charles sat there, stunned. “Ororo…how could you leave us? How could you leave me without an explanation? Or even a goodbye?” He sat there, trembling as tears slid down his face. He sat there for several minutes until he was able to calm down. Once he had, he slid out of his room, heading to Cerebro…
