Before this, you had nowhere to go. Nowhere but your own aching body, most likely injured, or your tussled thoughts. You may not even know where to go, your identity stripped from you in whatever hurricane of an action that lead you to be so down and out. But then, someone came along and offered you somewhere to stay. You can't turn that down, no matter how loathe you may be to deal with anyone or owe anyone something.
Or that's how it all begins. As you two stay close together and they nurse you back to full strength - despite your potential complaints - things between you change. You grow closer and more used to each other; then, slowly, what used to be thankfulness and generosity turns into love...or something like it. Affection. Deep adoration.
And somewhere along the line, that itself turns physical.
You're thanking them. You're trying to show them how much you care. You want them to love you more than anyone, because they gave you a chance and a home. You need to seal the deal and do more than just "play house" with them. No matter the case, they've opened their bed to you now, as well. This could be the first time, the last time, or the millionth time, but you'll gladly take their offer.

It had been one hell of a day.
She'd woken up in the lab in the broken remains of Cerebro to Bobby and Erik rescuing her so she could help change the past and save their future. Save the world, really. She'd watched Bobby and so many others die, had seen her own death in the light of the Sentinel's ray as it readied to attack in that Chinese temple, and then...
The timeline had changed, and she'd felt it. The Sentinels had disappeared, but instead of waking up in another version of her life and not remembering a single moment of the hell of the last seven years, something had happened with her borrowed powers and she'd fallen through a portal into this city. This strange city where she knew no one and had nothing but the grey uniform the scientists had made all their lab rats wear.
Someone must have spotted the portal somehow or seen her strange fall, because suddenly she was being chased--by who she didn't know--and she ran as if her life depended on it. She might have been pretty good at it after so many years of practice if she hadn't been so exhausted.
The rain didn't help. It had soaked through the thin uniform by the time she finally felt safe enough to stop, and as she leaned against a wall in a random alley, she wondered what she was supposed to do now.
