My first crush turned into my first love.
His name was Rusty Collins and we met kinda randomly. He was being chased by Freedom Force. I was going for a walk in Central Park. I think it was either to clear my head or get away from Masque for a little while. Probably both.
Anyway, Freedom Force was fighting X-Factor at that time cause Freedom Force wanted to arrest Rusty. X-Factor wanted to help keep him out of jail. It was a big thing. But he was like in the middle of this madness so I helped him get out. I remember we ran. Like RAN. As fast as we could and we met up with an angry crowd.
They threw bricks at us.
Never a dull moment right?
I blocked the bricks and tried to save his life cause really bricks and stuffies aren't going to hurt me. (I am so patting my shield right now.) I wanted him to run away to safety but he came back and used his fire to keep the crowd at bay and we learned that his fire didn't hurt me! That was a big deal cause his fire hurt everyone. But not me or at least not if my shield was up.
I took him down to the tunnels for safety but Freedom Force (THE JERKS) followed us. And not only did we have to deal with THEM but Marauders. X-Factor saved us and everything. They couldn't save everyone. Angel lost his wings. It was bad all around.
Yeah.
But Rusty Collins.
I've never met another boy like him. I don't think I ever will.
He was sweet and kind and so very gentle with me.
He taught me how to let my shield down. My mutant one and the emotional one I kept firmly up around myself.
He fancied us the next Scott and Jean OY!.
I loved him.
I still love him.
I try to keep his memory alive in me cause if I don't no one will remember him.
He left this world too early.
I wonder what good he could've done if he was still alive today.
I don’t think I’d still be with him and that breaks my heart. I think we would’ve grown apart but I’m not sure. Maybe there is some reality where we ended up married and had a baby AND MAGNETO HAD IT KILLED BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GIVE THE ACOLYTES A CAUSE. Poor little Sean. D: I HATE YOU MARVEL! or maybe not.
I don’t think I’m the same girl he fell in love with though.
If he were to somehow come back to life today I wonder how he would see me.
I hope he’d be proud of me. I think he would be.
I’m no longer in love with him but I’ll always love him.
