Author Ramblings: I have ideas that are too short for a story but I don't want them to go to waste. So I'm putting them here! Welcome to PrettypurpleRogue's collection of one-shots! * Wild cheering * Normal Flashback

First Mother:
Calm.
The Danger Room made dojo was serene and silent. There were four people in it. All of them had white stripes in their hair. All of them were doing synchronized yoga. The people were Rogue and her kids Rahne, Jamie, and Amara. At the start all three new recruits had taken a shine to the mysterious X-man and she them. And now after Apocalypse they were a family again.
Rahne thinks of her recruitment.
Her home life hadn't been good to start with and the added knowledge of her being a mutant her drunken Father kicked her out finally. On that day it was, as much as it's a cliché, raining. She wondered the streets avoiding people and trying to keep warm. She finds an empty and relatively clean alley to sleep in for the night. In the morning she was so hungry she could eat her own arm.
She spent a few weeks on the streets barely scraping by. She was raiding a trashcan when a light shined on her from nowhere. She tensed then bolted. She stretched her slightly-better-than-average senses and heard what appeared to be scolding?
She also heard footsteps following her so she sped up and looked for places to hide. She picked between a dumpster and an old trashcan. She scooted as far back as she could and waited. She hoped whoever was following her wouldn't find her. She waited. A shadow invaded her hiding place. She whimpered and closed her eyes.
When she haphazardly opened them she saw an angel staring right at her.
'And the rest is history,' Rahne puts her mind to the yoga. Following her angel's, her new mother's lead.
