Celeste giggled as the little kitty meowed. Then she gasped, grabbing the picture from Pietro. "Did... DId you draw this?" She looked in awe.
|
"Ummm... that depends" pietro replied uncertainly, "do you like it? "
|
"Pietro, this is AMAZING! Why didn't you tell me you could draw?" She said. "And the details are incredible!"
|
"Umm..." he rubbed the back of his neck, "I dunno. It's really not that great. "
|
"Don't be so modest. This is really good. Do you have anymore?" She asked, a sparkle in her eyes, eager to see more of his work.
|
"I-um... well... they're not really ready and... um" pietro wasn't sure he was really ready to show her.
|
"Oh... That's ok, if they're not finished... I do like the ruffles on this one though." she commented rubbing her chest as she looked at the drawing. "You were right Brutus, green would look lovely on this."
|
"Um... kay" Pietro gingerly took back the drawing, "I'll fix it up later..."
|
Celeste really wanted to look at more of his drawings but it seemed like a touchy subject and she didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable. Speaking of uncomfortable, her chest felt warm. It was weird but she tried to irgone it.
"It is a lovely sketch though, Pietro. You should be proud of your work." She got up and wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him a soft kiss. "Who knew you had so many talents. <3" |
Pietro tucked the paper away and then brought back his cocky grin, "Well, I've always known how fabulous I am, it's good to see you're finally realizing it to" he replied, kissing her back.
|
"Finally?" She pulled back, "Oh I've known how wonderful you are for a long time. It's just everyone else who seemed to be late to the party."
Brutus looked at Celeste as she rubbed her chest again and then went to the door. "Meow." Celeste walked over and let Brutus out before tackling Pietro to his bed, "THE POWER OF POSITIVE ENERGY!" She yelled, hugging him tightly. |
Pietro laughed and they started making out.
|
Celeste felt her chest get very warm but that perhaps as due to the Speed Demon's hands had decided to continue off where they had left off before being so rudely interrupted by the Blue fuzzy.
Her whole body was getting warm just like last time but something was different. She kept hearing voices... June must be watching TV downstairs. Ceres! You can save him but for a price... You'll have to kill me then! ~ Logan-sama! The voices were getting louder and louder, her head was pounding as a wave of feelings washed over her. She felt hands grabbing her, being stabbed and other sensations she had no idea what they were. "Pi-..Pietro stop." She begged in that cute little voice of hers. Her heart was begining to race as her gem began to glow. |
At first pietro thought she was just playing but when he saw her gem glow he stopped immediately. "Celeste? Celeste! What's wrong? !"
|
Celeste tossed her head side to side, biting her lip, "I don't-..." She gripped the sheets tightly, to the point where her knuckles were turning white.
Her gem grew brighter and brighter, "Make it stop.. No... I can't..." "PIETRO! OPEN THE DOOR!" June yelled, knocking violently on the door while trying to open it. Locked as usual. |
He sped to the door and opened it to let her in before zipping back to celeste, "I didn't do anything" he swore, "celeste, hang on"
|
"I know." June said pushing Pietro out of the way and pulling Celeste into her arms, "Shhhh.. Celeste it's ok. Don't fight it. Take some deep breaths it ok. Ceres....It's ok..."
Ceres... who was Ceres? ~ June stood in front of her in a green dress, her hands on her hips, "Ceres, you know better than to do that... when you can clearly do it like this." She grinned. No... June wasn't her name... it was Juno. ~ The pink light filled the room and shot out the window. "Pietro, close the window! Ceres, just let them in, don't fight them..." Celeste struggled against June's grip. |
Pietro zipped to the window and slammed it shut, "what is going on?!" He demanded, "what's happening to her?!"
|
"Not now PIetro!" She snapped, stroking Celeste's hair gently.
After several mins, Celeste seemed to calm down, covered in a cool sweat. Her gem brightness fading as well. "...Juno?" She asked looking up at her sister, her face pale. "Hello Sweetie... Just close your eyes, have a rest." "Okie dokie..." Celeste closed her eyes and almost instantly fell asleep. June sighed deeply, only Polly was left to remember now. |
Pietro watched, there was nothing else he could do but stand back and observe. Once celeste had calmed and then fallen asleep he let the pink haired girl have his bed while he pulled June aside, "tell me what just happened. " he demanded, "that wasn't just some normal mutant thing, I've seen enough of those to know. So gimme the truth. "
|
June sighed, rubbing the back of her neck, "What I'm about to tell you, says between us... your father doesn't even know this. Pietro, the girls and I... weren't not mutants." she began.
|
Pietro listened, arms crossed over his chest as one of the most unbelievable stories he had ever been told unfolded before him. "... no. Heellllll no" exclaimed the speedster, "you really expect me to believe all that?"
|
"Well you better start believing it because it's the truth." June went over the pulled the sheet on Pietro's bed over top Celeste.
"You never found it weird that I can teleport AND talk to animals? Two oddly different powers that have no really link to them. We appear as mutants only because human technology hasn't advanced far enough to see us for what we really are. Don't worry, we're not aliens." She said smirking as Pietro was giving her a look. |
"Hey, there are plenty of mutants with two completely different powers. What does healing and a good sense of smell have to do with one another? I know, the wolverine. Not to mention my combination of super speed and dashing good looks-but enough about that, you're telling me you guys are some sort of godly incarnations that never truly die and that is... why you're all sisters but look completely different and you've all got stones in your chests. Mother of mutants, I knew she was hawt but a goddess?!"
|
June was about to continue to explain but paused, "That... that's actually pretty much sums it up.. These gems contain our soul, when we reach a certain point in our human growth our memories of our past life return to us. That's what just happened. I wasn't so lucky when I remembered, I was deep in enemy territory and basically gave them a beacon of 'Hey, I'm over here, come and capture me so you can torture me and what not...' Trying to explain what had happened to Eric was not my favorite conversation with the man...
Don't worry, she's not going to wake up a different person. We all have our original personalities. " |
