Why this must be read:
Warren Worthington III -- aka Angel -- only gets a few minutes of screentime in X3, where he seems to be more of a symbol than a living, breathing character. This fic takes the few things we know about the child Warren and, with a lot of sympathy and imagination, gives him a heartbreaking and convincing point-of-view:
Warren climbed to the top of the jungle gym and tipped his head back, watching the tattered clouds chase each other across the sky and make a hazy, shifting mask over the sun. It made his chest go tight and his shoulders hurt, but he didn't look away. He was used to feeling that way, a lot, when he looked at the sky or at the pigeons outside his window or at his father across the length of the dining-room table. A dull, vague kind of ache all over, but stronger in his shoulders and his heart. Maybe that was what they called growing pains.
As a bonus, the pre-movie timeframe lets Warren sit down and talk with someone else who wasn't around much in X3. And this time, Mr. Summers gets to be the cool guy. Read it!
