Aless sighed softly as she walked through the garden. It was three days after her first lesson with the famous Captain America. While she disliked fighting,the class itself was entertaining.
During the first part of class all the students had talked over each other,as if to prove themselves. In fact the only ones who seemed to keep their minds were Faith,John,and herself.
She would admit a passing intrest in John. The other mutant had gotten on the Captain's good side quickly enough,and even with their polar opposite powers she was happy to met another elemental controlist.
Taking a seat on a low bench she side softly. "Wonder what he gets himself into on his off days"She mused outloud.

John was strolling through the grounds, smoking. He actually had hoped to find Magneto to have a talk about where they were standing in the whole Apocalypse affair, but somehow the old man was busy elsewhere. Then he remembered that he hadn't seen Derek in a while, the Asian guy with the interesting mutation. So he walked over to the Japanese Garden where Derek usually spend his time gardening. But he also was nowhere to be seen.
Pyro just wanted to go to the garage to get a car and drive into town, when he saw the girl from the hand-to-hand-combat-class sitting on a bench in the garden. The water mutant. Mhh... John hesitated a split second, then walked towards her. "And so we meet again." He sat down next to her and smiled. Her powers were his exact opposite, maybe even more so than Bobby's. But he had gotten a favourable impression of her at class. And of course she was hot. "Wanna try out some hand-to-hand-combat, train what we've learned?" he asked with a smirk.

Aless jumped slightly when John sat down next to her. She wasn't expecting anyone to approch her currently. When she saw it was just John she smiled brightly again.
"So it seems"She laughed softly,folding her hands into her lap. At the mention of practing their training she blushed brightly,looking down at her sun yellow dress.
"While I'm sure that it would be all the fun in the world for you,there was a reason I wore jeans to class"She said,the blush still painting her cheeks pink.

How cute, she was actually blushing... Pyro's smirk remained. "Pity", he replied. "You can never do enough training with the hand-to-hand-combat, you know..." He took his pack of cigarettes out and offered her one.
"So, what are you doing? Just hanging out?" He realized that he really knew nothing about the girl. Except her powers and what he had seen in that class a few days ago. He assumed she was a student here, and she was clearly a bit younger than him. What had she done when the Brotherhood and the X-Men had fought at Alcatraz? Maybe she'd only come here after... He wondered how close she was to the other students and X-Men that used to know him. He wondered how much she knew about his history with the X-Men.
Anyways... she was a good alternative to a talk with Magneto or Derek, so he counted himself lucky.

Aless laughed again,shaking her head slightly "Maybe later than,after a change of clothing"She said shrugging a shoulder slightly. When he held up the cigarettes she waved a hand.
"No thank you." When he asked what she was doing she paused for a moment,lulling over her thoughts. Should she be honest,or would that freak him out to much?
"All truth? I come out here to think sometimes. It's quiet,unlike every other place within the school".

Pyro gave her a crooked grin when she declared that she'd first have to change clothes. "Really? This looks very good on you, though." He packed away his cigarettes when she declined, but continued to look at her.
His next question seemed to give her pause, as if she had a little secret to reveal. He found this notion confirmed with her first words and got really interested now, but had to struggle to hide his disappointment when she finished her explanation. She came out here to think? John's eyes moved over the garden, then landed back at her face.
He nodded. "To think, huh? Personally, I think too much thinking is not good for one's brain but I guess, it can't be avoided occasionally." He smiled. "Are you telling me what caused this urge to come out here today to think?" His voice was playful, charming, perhaps even a tad flirty. Maybe it would be interesting to hear what she was thinking about. On the other hand, she was a teenage girl. Chances were high it had to do with clothes, makeup, rivalries with other girls at Xavier's or something otherwise utterly boring... but... who could say, maybe he was wrong.

Aless picked at the edges of the skirt of her dress,biting her lower lip softly. Her cheeks seemed to stay their soft pink color. Ah,she hadn't avoided the question.
"You're just going to laugh at me"She said,reaching up to fiddle with a loose piece of hair. She sat quietly for a moment,still chewing on her bottom lip.
In a low,shy voice she finally answered"I was wondering what you got up to on days we didn't have class"

Pyro blinked. Look at that, he had been wrong, the topic of the girl's thinking was far more interesting than he could have imagined. "Me?" He didn't have to feign surprise. "You came here to think about me." This time it was phrased as less of a question than a fact he had to ponder for a few seconds.
But he didn't laugh. He merely smiled. "Well, as you might have noticed I don't go to any classes here... besides that one with our dear Captain. Those times are over." Again he wondered if she knew that he used to go to classes here. "Though if you wonder what the hell I'm doing here, I'm asking that myself frequently." He sighed. "But why this interest in me, of all people?"
Okay, well, let's be honest, girls liked him. That had never been a problem. But maybe there was more here. Something that had to do with her powers. There had after all been a special connection between him and Drake as well, his other polar opposite.

Aless blushed darker,her cheeks turning almost apple red. "Yes you. I came out here,wondering what you would be doing today"She mumbled low,wondering if she was embarrassed enough to hide her face in her knees.
When he questioned her about her interest in him she shrugged slightly."I can't explain it"She said,tilting her head to the side. A little puddle of water,left over from a light shower,shimmered softly as a bubble flew up and over to her.
"For all reasons I shouldn't like you"Aless balanced the bubble of water on her fingertips"We're almost perfect opposites".

Oh-my-god: The fire mutant wasn't sure if he had ever seen anyone blush this dramatically. Maybe he just wasn't used to these kind of girls anymore, shy, good hearted, nice. But of course Xavier still had those in stock. "Well, if you really wanna know... I was just about to go to the garage to do a little drive. Wasn't sure where yet. But there is not much to do for me here, and I rather leave before I start burning down things that should not be burned down." Currently, not be burned down currently, he added in his thoughts.
But it got even better. She liked him beside herself and couldn't explain it. Looked like a serious infatuation to him. Something that surely could be useful at some point... He smiled. "True, we are. And you shouldn't. I'm not a nice guy, you know. Talk to Rogue, Shadowcat or Iceman if you wanna know more details..." But he continued his playful, light tone and so it sounded not very serious at all.
At the same time he watched the water drop fly towards her. "So, this is what you do, you control water like I control fire..." The class with the Captain hadn't revealed much about how the powers of the students actually worked, since it was all about fighting without powers. "Can you... create water?" This was his eternal sore spot. Because he couldn't create, he could only manipulate. Unlike Iceman for example.

Aless frowned softly,turning her head to him when he lightly said he wasn't a nice guy. While she knew that not everyone could be perfect,she didn't think they could be all that bad either.
"I'd rather judge you based on how you are to me,rather than what people say"She floated the bubble just above her hand as she thought over his last question.
Wiggling her fingers slightly she made the water bubble spin and twist as she answered"No,I can only control. Even at that I'm not very good at it."The bubbly shimmered softly,drooping in on itself as truth to her words.

This got better and better. Shy, good hearted and naive. Well, a typical X-Men. Bobby had been like this, once. Not anymore though. Not that he had talked to him recently... "Nice", he said and watched the water bubble float and change form.
Then, when the bubble didn't do what it was supposed to, he gave a sympathetic quick laugh. "Oh well, we all went through that stage. Except when I was not very good at it, it usually burned something... or someone. Today that doesn't happen anymore - or only when intended." With a certain satisfaction he noted that she also could only manipulate, not create. "So, in a desert your powers are useless."

Aless laughed softly,letting the bubble drop to their feet. "Yes,in the desert I'm pretty much a dead woman"She had learned to poke fun at her own faults.
"Though to be fair,if we ever came to a place really rainy,you'd be the one out of luck at that point"She couldn't help but pointing out. Since he was a controller like herself,any fire he started would fizzle without her help.
Aless paled slightly when he mentioned what he went through during his training years. She was very glad that she had developed water over fire.

"Actually...", Pyro raised a finger and imitated Xavier's voice, "...a fire mutant can cope with rain, as long as he has a fire source available." He smiled and changed his voice back to normal. "Once I can generate fire with a lighter for example, I can keep it burning even when it rains. But of course things burn less well. And I've never tried it in a monsun or something." He shrugged. "But I'm fucked much faster than you, because water is nearly anywhere." He knew that much from Bobby who needed it to generate his ice. "Fire is much harder to get to."
His cigarette was burnt down quite a while ago and he lit a new one. "So... any other questions for me? Or was that all you were planning to think about? What is he doing today?"

"Even if water is everywhere,the problem is getting enough to make a difference." Aless said,wiggling her wet toes. "Little puddles won't do anything to save you"
When John had started to mimic the Professor's voice Aless couldn't help the laugh that bubbled up inside her. It was rather funny,he did it so perfectly.
"Well,when I came out here I didn't think I'd run into you"She said,still laughing"So at the time 'What is he doing' was enough of a question".
