Kari was outside the mansion going over the vocals and dance moves to a song she'd recorded earlier. The musical career was going well to say the least. But it could do little ot fill the many wholes in her heart left by bother her brother and the other fallen teammates. This only being worsened by Logan's constant quest for answers in his shattered mind.
Her body moved along hypnotically to the rhythmn and her voice rang through the courtyard. Then for a second she caught a smell. One she recognised from a hundred years ago... But no, there was no possibility that man was lost to her for good. Orr so she thought. She only sang louder to bury herself in the music...
''The first time that it crossed my mind
I kept on pushin' it aside
It’s such a strong emotion
Second time was plain to see
This feeling rushing over me
Oh yeah…
And unknown to me
This chemistry is
Something deep inside
I can feel but I can’t touch
Can never get too much
I hear you loud and clear
I’ve got nothing to fear
Your love will be my guide
I've never been this satisfied
It’s something deep inside...''
''Kikio...'' A gentle voice with a light romantic Spanish accent spoke.
''Wha..?'' Nobody alive knows me by that name. She thought to herself. His voice was familiar too it brought back flashed to another place in time. Her skin took on it's blue tone revealing her mutant form with angel wings and everything.
''Go, RUN, NOW..!''
''Raphael, NO..!''
''It feels like an eternity since I last layed eyes on you... Tell me why do you hide your true form?'' Raphael asked with his white glowing eyes staring down into his former love's eyes.
''How is this possible? You were... I mean, how is this possible?'' Kari was so confused.
''I have awaken from my stone imprisonment to find you. It warms my heart to know that after all these years have passed you still remember me.'' This event was about to make an already complicated enough situation even worse.
In truth the only way his timing could've been worse was if he'd arrived at her wedding as Logan walked her down the isle. ''I... I don't know how to say this...''
''Shhh, there is no more need for words...'' Raphael spoke gently rubing his hand against her face and wrapped her in his wings. He held her close and Kari was too weak to resist. This man knew just how to pull her strings. He pressed his lips against hers for the first time in over a century.
Kari couldn't even speak, she could barely breathe still. All the feelings seemed to flood back up to the surface of the deep ocean that was her heart. It was apperant that now she was going to have to chose... By the looks it wouldn't be easy. ''Please, Raphael. Just listen to me... You've been gone for so long...''
''I know, but I'm here now-''
''That's just it... You're here now, that makes things, harder.''
''I don't understand, I've dreamt of this day for so long. Haven't you? Raphael asked in confusion. I thought you'd be overjoyed.'' He continued.
''It's not that. It's just that I found someone, we've been seeing each other for a very long time now... We've already made plans, to get married that is.''
''I see, well... This just won't do at all. Tell me, does this lover even begin to give you the love I do? Can his affections even hold a candle to the star that is our love?'' Rapheal questioned not averting his gaze from her's for so much as a second.
''Sure he's not as much of a gentlemen as you were. But, I know where his heart is without a doubt. He may not be so charming, but he has everything I need.''
''Need perhaps, but you deserve so much more.'' Rapheal reasoned in return.
''I don't know what to else to say to you. I really don't. But you can't rush me into this kind of decision. I need time... there's just too much occupying my mind right now.''
''I suppose I'll just have to remind you why I'm the only man who can be the love of your dreams.''
