<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f2/Char-colossus2.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Piotr Rasputin/ Colossus<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Cabin in the Woods<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Jeans, tight red t shirt, Green hooded Carhart coat and hiking boots<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Rogue<br/><br/>Piotr said nothing for a moment after Anna had basically shouted. Slowly he looked up, "I had not meant today... I meant after you had thought about it some." He heaved a sigh and leaned back in his chair... Piotr had known this was going to come up at some point, but he was trying to take his time. Too fast... Piotr was a passionate man that had been through a lot in his life time. Anna had too, but no one had bothered to ask about it to either of them.<br/><br/>He sat silently listening as she spilled her heart to him. Piotr had figured Katherine would have some part of it and he knew that something was bothering her after seeing Laura's memories. She never told him though and had given her the time to bring it up... His own demons... Yes he did have them, but being here made them fade somewhat and for the first time in a while he was not brooding. A frown formed over his lips, "No need to apologize Rogue... If Katherine's friendship means that much to you then you should go back to them. Yes we had considered dating, but I never stopped caring for you."<br/><br/>Thinking back Piotr continues, "After everything... Ororo was the only one that sought me out. She tried to get me to come back, but I told her no. I needed time and I got it. I sat in a cave overlooking destroyed farmland that I created to help people. Illyana came to visit me as well. All she wanted to do is gloat about her final gift to me which was dispare. My sister is insane..." Pushing back his chair he left the table... He hated seeing Anna cry, but she needed her own time, "The days after that was spent as I tried to kill myself time and time again. Throwing myself from the greatest heights I could or even putting a gun in my mouth. I healed because of the gem... Then I decided to leave. I gained control over the gem, which was why I couldn't hurt you in my demon form."<br/><br/>Putting his coat on Piotr pauses just long enough to lay a hand on her shaking shoulder, "I meant what I had said earlier... I do love you still Anna Marie, which is why I forgive you even if I can never forgive Logan or any of the others. I have cared for so many even giving my life to save all of mutantkind from the Legacy Virus, but when I needed everyone of my friends the most... None of you were there for me. Take all the time you need..."<br/><br/>With that he moves to the door and heads outside as the wooden door closes behind him. There was nothing Piotr could do to comfort her but give her space.... The cold couldn't bother him so he walked into the trees....<br/><br/>
