Summary: Dr. Allison Cameron, Immunologist with the love of healing, but there is a secret that she has kept for years…but what happens, when she forgets that she's kept it hidden?

Prologue

The rain pelted down over head as she sat in the car she now drove. A simple beater car to get her to and from work, that's it and now she sat in front of his house listening to the barely heard string of music float from his home: his piano. She smiled at the simple pleasure it gave him, he was oblivious to the world and she hoped it would stay that way as she thought of the recent events that had taken place. She had…she didn't want to think of it, thinking about it could have caused her mind to go off on all the reasons not to leave and not wanting to second guess her decision, she quickly placed the car back in drive and sped off, wiping the wetness that began to settle in her eyes. 'This is for the best…he doesn't want or need me here…yea…this is for the best.'

In Westchester County, New York, there are riots, there are jeers, there is violence. In this city, there was also peace, loving of thy neighbor, and borrowed time. Now, there were more riots and more violence, and more borrowed time, and hate was spreading like a wildfire. Yea…only a wildfire, it always has somewhere to go, and people are too busy running for their lives to put it out. But that wasn't her problem, her problem was simple: "I need to speak with Professor Xavier." She said as he was greeted at the door by a white-haired African woman who seemed wise in her young life.

"I'm sorry, but he has a class, maybe I could help you…" She said but the woman didn't understand, Charles Xavier was the only man she could, or would, speak to. "Perhaps something to drink, or eat while we talk?" She shook her head, yet the white-haired woman continued.

"NO!" Finally, the woman stopped with her persistence of talking. "No…" She said again as if trying to reassure herself about something. "I need to talk to Charles…I won't talk to anyone else…just him…that's all I want…" She looked at the defiant anger that was beginning to grow in the older woman from the disrespect that she was receiving. "Please…just show me where his office is and you can forget we ever spoke." The woman was still contradicting herself before finally agreeing with a nod and began to lead her down a hallway. "Thank you…" She seemed to drop off after, not knowing what to call the woman.

"Ororo Monroe." The woman said holding out her hand for the woman to shake in greeting. "And don't worry about it…I just wish we could have met on friendlier terms." She smiled, trying to make the moment less awkward.

"Ditto, Ms. Monroe…" She paused, knowing she'd forgotten something. "Oh, I'm sorry…" She took Ororo's hand. "Allison Cameron, nice to meet you." After the awkward introduction, Ororo left the younger woman to her business. Turning to the mahogany double doors, she lifted a hand to knick only to have the doors open and see several students rush out of his office, leaving her alone to talk with the man within.

"Allison….what a pleasant surprise." The man behind the desk moved around in his wheelchair to embrace the woman in a fatherly hug, he pulled back to ask his next question and to find out what had brought her here so late in the year. "What beings you back to New York? And just before Christmas…" He paused not even needing to read her thoughts to know what had happened. "You used them, didn't you…to save that man's life…" It was a statement more that is was a question and her head drooped in shame at his realization. "You know the complications of you mutation, Allison…you know…"

"I couldn't help it, Xavier…I love him too much to watch him suffer…" She said as tears began to make their way to her eyes, her green eyes were filled with her emotional pain. Xavier's eyes softened as she started up her new sentence, hesitant and confused. "And…I'm starting to forget…I can't even remember his name…"
