He kissed away her tears gently, And held her gently, His voice soft as he spoke in whispers to Lorna, "It doesn't change how I feel about you, How wonderful being with you makes me feel. I knew you would have told me all about your life before I came along as the time was right" He held her, Moving her into his lap, to feel her warmth on him. The way her eyes filled with tears, Her honesty, it all just made him feel so much more from her. Hearing about her past loves didn't hurt him, He had hoped she had at least some good in her life, unlike his twenty year sentance. He loved her, Nothing would ever change that, And he knew she would have been honest there, Truthfully the fact that he hadn't already known was his own, He had never asked.

Lorna let out a heavy sigh of both relief and pent up emotion as Archer had pulled her into his lap. His words a calm, soothing balm to her. "I love you so much. And I don't really deserve you." She looked at Jason and Betsy. So now the two of you know at least that part of the story. She gave them half a smile as she sat back in Archer's lap.

Betsy was completely lost and confused. She looked over at Jason with a raised brow and then back at Lorna and the man whose lap she'd been nestled into. "Wow, umm... I'm at a loss for words here." She laughed harshly. "Well then," Clearing her throat before speaking. "So... this is your new man" She said this as a matter of fact, not a question.
She sent a mental thought over to Jason, one she made sure that only he could hear. Nice way to stick your foot in your mouth there. Need some ketchup for the shoe?

Yummy... Shoe is an old favorite, It's good to be home he thought, as he looked at the Pair. "So looks like I've got some catching up to do. Kind of glad Alex isn't here any more, Just couldn't see that working out. " He chuckled, Remembering warning her after she had picked Alex over himself at age of fourteen, Just exploring the thoughts of romance, that Alex had a thicker head than he did, and not to expect him to listen or change.

Lorna chuckled softly at Jason. "Yes, I remember you did try to warn me about him. But, I have always been stubborn." She managed a smile. "I'm sorry! I almost forgot again!" She looked at them and smacked her forehead.
"Jason, Betsy. This is Archer Simmons. My fiancee." She smiled warmly as she looked at Archer.

Jason Smiled, It wasn't bad news, And Alex hadn't exactly endeared their relation ship to him by lording it over him either, Cummupance was sweet in this case, andhe was picturing Alex's jaw dropped to the floor when he heard about this one. He'd Imprinted Archer, That told him that this guy was one of the big boys, not one he'd want to start a fight with. He looked at Betsy, Then back to Archer, "A pleasure, I'm Jason, Jase For short. Nice to meet you. Seems Lorna's pretty taken with you," He looked to Lorna, "He must be something else to have gotten your attention." He leaned back in his chair. Waiting for Betsy's assessment, She could see his soul litterally as a telepath, She could read him like a book.

Lorna chuckled at Jason's comment. "Archer is indeed something else." She smiled softly as she ran a hand down Archer's cheek.

Betsy looked at the pair and had to smile. Lorna was happy in a way that she'd never been with Alex. She nodded her head in approval. "Well it is indeed a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Archer." She looked over at Jason and gave him a friendly wink. "You seem pleased as punch yourself Jase." Chuckling softly. "A bitter rivalry for the lovely Lorna in earlier times, eh?"

He chuckled, "No, Just never had a lasting girl, Alex loved to point that out at every oppertunity he could when I was still a student there. Sure did have a crush on her back in the day, But not the type who's gonna try and hold a grudge with a friend over that friends girl," He chuckled again, "No, Just want to see the look on his face after he finds out for all those little stories about how wonderful dating was and concocted stories to try and make me jealous he loved telling in the dorms. I want it immortalized on polaroid."

Betsy laughed and patted Jason's hand. She liked his wicked sense of humor. And liked the fact that he too could not stand either Scott or Alex that much. "Well I guess Alex will be eating his just desserts then!" She clapped and looked at Lorna and Archer. "Congrats you two! I must say, the two of you do make a very cute couple and I can tell just by the looks in your eyes that you're both completely smitten."
Betsy sat back on the loveseat with a satisfied smile. She truly was happy for them. Lorna certainly needed someone alot more stable then Alex had ever been.

Jase smiled, Looking at Betsy. "Alex and I been friends since we were kids, Doesn't mean I got blinders on to the Summers tude. Those two can really dish out the BS that's for sure, Alex is definitely the worse of them there, Scott's just a closet, and in my oh so humble opinion will be a lot less up tight when he lets it out to the world. But then again, Chips down Alex would have anyone in this rooms back. That's what keeps me calling him friend. Scott too, though I'm not sure I'd want him behind me" A chuckle and a mischevious flash in his eyes follows the quick lash at Scott.

Lorna just smiled at Betsy. "Thank you. It really is good to see the two of you again." Lorna laughed at Jason's comments and shook her head.
Betsy was laughing again. Jason could have her in stitches all day with his jabs at the Summers brothers. "Okay, why is he being so quiet?" She looked at Archer with a raised brow.

Archer Chuckled, It seemed the right thing right now, Even though he had never met either Alex or Scott. The jokes where funny though. "Sorry, Not quite used to large groups. My former care takers weren't big on us mutants conversing, we might get Ideas you know. " He frowned, The memories of the twenty years he spent locked up diudn't hurt now, Lorna made that pain leave him, But still, What do you talk to Adults about, The whole GI JOE ve Transformers argument hardly seemed appropriate, And quantum Physics far too dry.

Lorna squeezed Archer's hand and gave him a soft smile. The look in her eyes spoke volumes of the love she had for him. "Archer, I think you need to tell them your story so they better understand."
