Mutant Lovers

"Give it a try." He says with a shy smile, he was glad she wasn't mad. "Touch my face Celia." He softly takes her hands and let them touch his face. "Try to look inside my head, try to 'read my thoughts'"
 
Celia looked puzzled but did as Angel told her. Closing her eyes she tried to clear it but so many things had happened that day that it was almost impossible.

Taking a deep breath and shutting out every thought but Angel's face she tried again and slowly she began to hear something. At first it was like a buzzing noise-way in the background. Elusive and annoying but the more she concentrated, the clearer things got until she could almost make something coherant out of them.

Forcing her mind to not think of anything else, Celia tried to form images of the words and they became clearer and louder in her mind. Yes, she could almost make out...there..Angel was thinking....

Celia's eyes snapped open and she stared up into Angel's deep blue ones, a blush going from her cheeks to her neck. She was frozen there-just staring at him like a statue.
 
Raphael

After Celia closed her eyes Raphael also closed his eyes, concentrating on the image he was thinking of. He decided not to use his powers, she could do it on her own. He tried to think of a tree, but it didn't work, instead of a tree he kept seeing Celia, his mind had an own will. He kept seeing Celia, but she was almost naked, he saw himself. He couldn't help himself, they were..... Suddenly he knew Celia had seen it too and he opened his eyes just in time to see Celia quickly opening her eyes, staring at him, blushing.

"I didn't mean to....I.., sorry, again..." but he didn't walk away, he reached with his hand for her neck and gently touched it, slowly massaging it while he lifted his other hand towards her face, touching her lips with his finger.
 
Celia sat there with her hands on Angel's face. She could not get the image of his thoughts out of her mind. The thing that disturbed her the most was the fact that it didnt bother her like she thought it should.

Then she felt his hands on her neck and face, warm and caressing. She couldnt have moved if she wanted to. She just kept looking into his eyes, almost drowning in them.

Finally she was able to rouse herself and break eye contact with him. She found she was breathing heavily and the feelings she had were not something she had ever experienced before.

Slowly, as not to startle him away, she leaned towards him and lay her head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. The connection she had been feeling between them from the begginning was almost tangible now and she wondered if it was due to the mental contact they had just shared.
 
Raphael

Raphael was confused, she turned her eyes away.
But than again she leaned against his chest. He was confused, disturbed, disturbed by this strange feeling in his mind, his whole body. he began to sweat. So confused.
He touched her, but suddenly, without wanting it he 'charged' Celia, somehow he boosted her mindreading powers to a maximum. Raphael himself was knocked down, thoughts were ripped out of his mind.

Within his mind he was within the great black factory again, next to him, tied to a pole he saw the lifeless body of the man he had befriended and who had held him company for so many days. Raphael felt the pain again, the pain of the men in black leather, stabbing him with knives, pulling out his feather and hitting him while he was out of energie. He saw how he tried to help his friend Roy fighting the mob of men in leather who attacked the girl. He felt again how his anger 'charged' Roy to the maximum, not only killing most of the men, but also the girl. He felt the pain again when he saw the men killing Roy by tying him to a pole and used some sort of device on him, killing him with all that pain. He saw himself fleeing through the black factory, screaming and furiously hitting everything he saw. He saw it all again, he felt it all again, but more, he felt the hate and fear he thought he had lost. And worst of all, he knew Celia had felt and seen it too.

Raphael cried, shouting for help, when he abruptly awoke and found himself on the field of grass again.
 
Celia heard Angel's erratic breathing moments before her mind exploded. It felt like someone was driving spikes through her head with images attached to them.

The images came rapidly and it was hard to make them all out but she knew what she was seeing. Angel's emotions came moments after the images did and she felt buffeted by a hurricane. She cried out as she felt she must go mad.

Then they were gone and she was laying on the ground, looking up. Her breast heaved as she tried to catch her breath which came in sobbing gulps. Tears were spilling down her face. Slowly a sound came to her ears. Someone was calling for help and she suddenly realized it was Angel.

Getting to her feet, she grabbed her head which was pounding with a headache in her hands and tried to focus. Her eyes fell on Angel who was laying a ways from her thrashing and calling out.

She moved to his side as quickly as she could and tried to avoid his thrashing arms and not damage his wings. She reached out to brush her hands along his face as she called his name.

"Angel...Angel...please wake up. Your in a nightmare. Comeon its okay...I'm here."

She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw his eyes flutter open, though they did not focus on her right away.
 
Raphael

He saw the sky, the sky he loved. He was the sky for a moment. Than he heard Celia's voice, calling out for him from the depth. He focused and from the blur her beautifeul face came became clear. "You saw what happens to people around me, maybe it's better if I go again, isn't it." He and and the sky weren't one anymore, he felt he and Celia were one, he felt the link but was afraid of getting her killed. He sees her face brighten when he look at her, she really cares. He doesn't really know what the feeling is but he needs to do something. "Forgive me," he says after which he tries slowly and passionate to kiss her soft lips.
 
Celia can see the confusion in his face and the longing in his eyes as he looks at the sky. For a moment she can even feel his yearning to be free of the ground.

Then he was kissing her and she felt herself respond. She leaned towards him and wrapped her arms about his neck. The kiss deepened and she wanted it to go on forever. She was not afraid of him, not even after what she had seen. Somehow she knew she was safe when he was around.

Lifting her head from the kiss, her eyes sparkled as she looked down at him. Smiling, she brushed his lips with her own once more before saying,"It's alright, Angel. I am not afraid."

Sitting back, she stroked his face with her hands, trying to memorize the shape and feel of it. She let it drop to his neck and then shoulders-moving to caress his beautiful wings.

Looking up into the sky, his place, the place he had shared with her but moments before she sighed. Turning her gaze back to him she said,"There is no reason you cannot have the freedom of the sky. I would never keep that from you. As long as you remember that I will be here when you land-for as long as you want me to be."
 
Lokken saw tghe long lovers in the sky and an ancient sadness was aroused in him. He went outside and began to weep. His tears hit the ground and sogged it through. He sunk to his knees and sniffled, trying to end the tears. But they wouldn't end. Suddenly someone touched his shoulder. He turned around and saw...
 
I tern wen I her sumone cum out and see the berd man and the girl fly off. I smile som how I now thos two are ment for echother. As I whoch them fly off I relis some one els came out I look and see lokken on hes knees crying I sens a gref as grate as mine whos when I frerst came her. I fors my the wall that I put up to ceep pepil out down and wolk over and put a cumferting hand on hes sholder. Hes head jerks up in suprise I just smile sadly. Tring to be as cumferting as posibol which isn't esy for me sens my wifs deth the only one I shone my emshins to is violet. But for som resin I fil a cinship with thes person and I don't now why.
 
Lokken saw his sad smile and realized that this man had had almost the same thing done to him. Lokken wiped away his tears and asked him what had happened to his family.
 
At hes questgen a ter runs don my face as I explane that my wife wos rapt and killed befor I code git to her but I wos abil to rip the men how did it apart but the ones how orderd it dun are still alive sum wher. Anger ingulfs my face at the thot of them living somwher un punisht for whot thay did.
 
Lokken saw the tear."My wife and two children were kidnapped, raped, killed, and I was chained to a rock. They were about to do the same to me, but then I exploded. I unleashed a fury Hell could not combat. But I never killed their leader. He was far too poerful", he said. Suddenly he muttered,"Someday,Fuge, someday. I will have your head".
 
I close my eyes trying to push the memeres back so I can think agen. I wipe the ter away and say the memerys fade in time but you will never forgit intirly. I try to fokis on the good tims and keeping besy the rest of the time. So I help violet arond her.
 
"You are much more lucky than I. I live for eternity. I can be killed, but not by natural causes. A curse from a God", he cursed.
 
I smile at that I'm 100 years old now I think I can be killed but it would take a lot. you see I heal fast I take out a dager and slash my rest hes eyes widin in shok as the cut heal in just a few secinds. I say I've had ben cumpletly guted and left for ded and a day later I got up and hunted the guy down and guted hem ofcors he didn't liv throw it. I frown I don't now if I whont to live for ever I think when I git sick of life I'll find volcano and jump in that shold kill me.
 
"Oh, we are both tortured souls. But I think we should start to find that relic now", said Lokken, wiping away the last of his tears and becoming serious. "Hey, would you believe me if I told you that I am 2,000 years old?" he asked.
 
I smile and say I belv you I can achily see your age in your eyes. Wher do you think the relic is I know thes area prity well. My normil hunting grownd is a 50 mile radeus. I've kill most of the dangers meutint anemols but beond that the land is still wilde.
 
"Around 4,000 miles away, farther inland. North and West", said Lokken.
 
I smile and say sonds like fun to me let me go git my wepins and I'll be redy to go. Whith that I telaport to my room and strap my sword on my dack and put som more dagers on my delt. I look at my snipers rifel and shrug maybe it'll cum in usful I pick it up and strap it over my other sholder I look arunwd and to make sher ther is nothing els and telaport back to violets bilding.
 
Lokken went inside with Nightray. "I do believe it is time to leave", said Lokken. He then flew up to Raphael. "we're leaving", he said, a little harshness in his voice.
 
She didn't mind the kiss, she even kissed back. Raphael felt like he was in heaven. He had never cared for someone more than Celia, from the moment he saw her walking down the hill he knew they were linked somehow. Now he knew for sure 'love' was a part of that link, but not the whole part.

Before he could respond to the sweetest words he had ever heard Lokken landed near them and said they were going. His face was troubled, as some bad memories were stirred up.

"It is up to Celia, Raphael responded."
 
Celia nodded to Lokken and smiled again at Raphael. Standing, she held her hand out to him to help him up.
"As long as you are with me," She said simply.

When he was on his feet she turned to Lokken and said,"Lets go get the others. I apologize that we took so long."

She could see the sadness in his face and she wished she knew exactly why. Everyone here seemed to have lost so much and yet they were willing to band together to help this man from another dimension. She just hoped she could show as much bravery as they when the time called for it.
 
Violet

I gathered my things quickly, a few tools, an old army tarp. Along with a change of clothes and food. I shrug the big backpack on my shoulder and go outside.

"I'm ready to go," I gently touch nightray's arm and Lokken's. "Now that you two have done your male bonding can we get going?" I try to break the tension with a joke


OOC we're in iowa we're about as inland as we can get, north and west would be towards canada through Minnesota or Dakotas
 
Celia

Celia chuckled at Violet's joke and nodded.
"I am afraid I do not have much of anything to take. A hunting knife and a few other things. I have pretty much been living off the land as I travel."


Speaking to Violet she says,"I can help carry a few things if you would like."
