"What can I say, you're not covered by the Group Insurance Plan," Christian joked, trying to make her laugh a little, "Listen, I don't want to risk you getting hurt, alright? Iris would never let me forget it if I let her daughter get injured. I'm trying to look out for you."

"And Iris would be pretty pissed if you didn't tell her about this, let alone letting me go fight," Amelia said no twinkle to her eyes and no beginings of humor on her face, "and what about you, do you really think I'm going to step aside so you can run off and get hurt yourself?"

"How do you know Iris isn't aware of all of this," Christian asked, "I knew you'd react like this, heaven forbid I go off and do my job without you getting offended you're not handed a plane ticket."

"Maybe because you have no idea what powers Apocolypse has, let alone what it takes to beat him!" Amelia said her eyes narrowing, "And I'm reacting this way because you're treating me like some weak little girl, when you know as well as I that I'm more powerful then you Christian James!"

"No, I'm treating you like this because maybe I care so much about you, I wouldn't let you within a day of that place! What in the hell kind of fiance would I be if I let you wander into that kind of situation? X-Factor has an 'eye on the inside' that's kept us informed of everything that's happened in the past month. I'm more than prepped for this, Amelia!"

"And you don't think I care about you, when you'e going on this suicide mission?" Amelia asked her cheeks flushing in anger, "How many nights when you were off with this team did I lay awake worrying about you? To many for me to count, and do you think I don't know what's going on over there. I'm one of the freaking most powerful telepaths on the planet I do have a clue!"

"Good," Christian said, "i'm glad you aren't kept in the dark about it all. I'm glad that you have an insight into my work life, despite it all being classified by the government. I'm working with this Agency so that I can not only help people, but so that I can get the money to afford the kind of life you deserve! I'm not saying you aren't able, I'm just saying I'm not going to risk it!"

"Life's a risk, me staying here with you is a risk, trying to keep from dying from people who hate us is a risk," Amelia growled darkly, "But with this going to fight Apocolypse is a risk you aren't going to do alone, even if I have to travel there on my own!"

"You're right, I'm not going to do it alone, I have a squad of people backing me up, trained agents; Jo, Ellen, Kevin. It isn't like I'm wandering into some tomb without a flashlight."

Amelia was silent for a moment before throwing up her hands, "Fine, whatever, have fun dying with a bunch of strangers," she said and turned and started walking away.

Christian paused, then leapt after her. He grabbed her softly by the shoulder, and spun her about, "This is bigger than you and I, Amelia," Christian said softly, "There's more at stake than a fight between you and I, so I'm going to let this roll off my back, but please, trust that I know what's best right now."

"How kind of you," Amelia said her voice filled with venom, "I ask you though, what makes you think this is a fight about us? Last time I checked, this was my fight to protect the future not yours. Who was sent back to fight Apocolypse, not you, me. So next time Christian when you want to fly in a play hero, make sure there isn't someone else already playing that role,' she added and brushed off Christian's hand and turned and walked away.

"That'll be the day I quit just thinking about you and start just thinking about me," he said coldly, "I don't play hero to make other people mad. I do it so other people don't have to get hurt. Maybe if you realize I'm not doing this to keep you out of the spotlight and realize I'm doing it because I love you, then things will turn out for the better."
