Heaven/Chi – The Definition of Insanity #7

Cover – I don’t know, I’ll come up with something eventually…any suggestions??

Title: The Definition of Insanity

Written by – blackmore and havok3595

“Ae Mei?”

“MOM! This isn’t the time to argue!”

Mike frowned, “Amelia, it’s safe, I promise. The Bitch…uhm…sorry about that, Mr. and Mrs. Chow, is gone.”

“Is that even possible? What about….what was her name again?” Amelia’s sword pulled back off Mike’s neck slightly. Mike gave her a slightly disapproving look. Yeah, that was his neck the sword was pressed against, but he’s used to Amelia being rock solid, not uncertain in the face of potential danger. .

“Oracle. Yeah, we thought that if someone was Brooded, it was pretty much time to pick out a casket. Err…sorry. But, I got lucky, eventually. It’s a long story, none of it is really all that pleasant. I’m hoping to get a happy ending for it, though.”

Amelia pointed to the letter Mike was holding in his hand with the tip of her sword, “Did you read it?”

Mike smiled sheepishly, “Not all of it…I got down to the part where you guys moved, and got distracted trying to find 4th Street. You can always just tell me what it says.”

Amelia turned her head away, letting her hair fall across her face, so he can’t see her face, but retained her grip on the sword and defensive posture. She said stoically, “Finish it!”

Mike unfold the letter and read. His face went through a wide range of emotions as he read. Curiosity turned to sympathy to a small smile to a nod of agreement to a slightly bigger smile to slight anger (“POSIEDON!” Mike muttered at this point, “I knew that bastard wouldn’t stay dead…”) to fear (which he realized was irrational since Amelia was obviously alive and well) to confusion to shock to a calm stoicism.

Mike looked at Amelia for a few seconds before finally saying, “You are a silly girl, that’s one of the million things I love about you. But…” Mike trailed off a distant look in his eyes.

“Yes…silly enough that I have a great desire to trust you about the Brood thing…” Amelia’s sword faltered slightly. “But not so silly that I’m just going to completely let my guard down before having you checked out by everyone’s favorite telepath.

Mike considered for a moment. “Everyone’s favorite? Well, it can’t be Professor X, because some people think he’s a jerk. Except for Curt, of course, but that whole thing is just plain freaky. And I’d say Stryker, but he lost his powers when he got resurrected. Oh, I know! The bald lesbian chick! Everyone loves lesbians!”

Amelia rolled her eyes. “That’s pretty much exhibit A for your defense right there…I doubt the Brood would mimic that level of geekery.”

Mike frowned slightly. “Geekery? Is that even a word? Hmmm…is Mentallo out on bail? How about the green guy who put the X-Men in a circus?”

Amelia shook her head again. “You never go for the obvious answers, do you?”

Mike nodded. “It’s one of my better traits. Please tell me it isn’t swimsuit ninja Psylocke! Original European hair in the underarms Psylocke was so much better.”

“I can’t believe you. No, it’s Ms. Grey. I only fricking mentioned her in the letter. You have the reading comprehension of a cockroach, I swear!”

“Now that’s unfair! Accurate, but unfair!”

Amelia shook her head. “Maybe, even if you aren’t a Brood Queen, I’d be doing the world a favor if I stabbed you right here.”

“Now that’s the Amelia I know!” said Mike with a smile. “But, you trying to kill me is becoming a cliché! You should threaten to cut limbs off or something. It’d be fresh, at least.”

Amelia sighed. “You know, hormones do weird things to pregnant women. I could probably get away with killing you.”

“Nobody’s killing anybody,” said Jean Grey, as she conveniently walked up.

“Thank God! It’s Marvel Phoenix! Or whatever you go by now!” exclaimed Mike. “Please tell her I’m not a Brood, so she puts the sword down. Sure, it’s a bit of a turn on, but still…”

“I’m tempted to pick it up myself,” said Jean, then chuckled slightly, “It’s true…whatever happened, has unhappened. He’s free of the Brood’s control.”

“Oh thank heaven,” said Amelia, her sword disappearing. “The pregnancy is a huge drain on my powers, I was getting really tired of that sword. So, come on over here and give me a kiss, I missed you.”

Mike looked dumbfounded. “I had no idea you felt that way about Jean…oh wait, you mean me.” He walked toward Amelia hesitantly, “I can’t believe you’re just going to let it all drop so easily.”

“How could I not?” she answered. “Being mind controlled into doing crappy things is something I’ve had some experience with. Water under the bridge.” She smiled warmly at him. “So are you going to kiss me or what? And you also owe me a complete sentence about stuff one of these days…you seem to keep trailing off just when it gets to the good stuff.”

“It’s your fault. I had a big dramatic moment planned. Here, let me do it again.” Mike looked around quickly and settled his eyes on Amelia, “All right, in this scene, I get to play me. And you’ll play you, okay?”

Amelia rolled her eyes, “I’m pretty sure I can handle that.”

“Neato! Okay, annnddddd ACTION!” Mike’s face took on that same stoic look from before, “You are a silly girl, that’s one of the million things I love about you. But…” Mike trailed off, a distant look in his eyes.

Amelia looked at him confused. Mike whispered, “Your line is…But, what?”

Amelia shook her head with amusement, “Oh. Sorry, I seemed to have left my script someplace. But, what?”

“But, it’s just not enough, Amelia. Things can’t stay like this…”

“Like what?”

“The whole long distance boyfriend/girlfriend, make up/break up crap. It’s unfair to us both. Being a superhero is fun, but being with you is just absolute perfection,” Mike dropped to his knee and whipped out the small black jewelry case, “What do you say? Want to give it a try?”

To be continued…

«Hey, there might only be two parts left to post for this. I don't really see any place to break until the end, and one last short epilouge, and we're done. Yay!»
