First of all I would like to clarify that this is not the real story of the Summers family. Anyone who has any idea of the comics would know this, let alone the show. In the comics, their long lost sibling is Gabriel Summers aka Vulcan, and, SURPRISE!, he's evil. The Summers family is a really complicated story with all of the marriages, deaths, clones, kids, and stuff like that. Thank God I don't have to attend their family reunions.
Second, the character that you will meet later is *SPOILER ALERT* named Rosemarie Kate Summers. She is of my own creation. Please nobody steal her for your own stories. I've seen other people steal other people's characters on here and I don't want to see anybody stealing Rose. She's my favorite original character I've ever even thought of and I've been waiting to put this story into action for a few months now. I've been involved in family issues, other stories I wanted to get done first, and trying to figure out exactly where I want this story to go. To be honest, I still don't completely know. Bear with me.
Third, don't expect lightning fast updates. I don't know when I'll get to writing again with school coming up and my family having to finish roofing our house, which pretty much takes up all of my free time. When I do get to writing another chapter I'll try to make sure it's pretty long , but I don't know exactly when I'll be able to get to my personal computer.
Fourth, those of you that have stuck it out this long to read this authors note, please give this story a chance. I know it's going to be way different than the comic readers are used to and even more different than that for our pure Evolution fans out there. This story WILL be based off of Evolution even though I'll include elements of the comics at times, but I will tie them in like you're watching a season with the rest of us out there, and getting introduced to this idea for the first time. I'm really excited for this story, and I hope the rest of you like it.
Finally, when I ask for reviews and constructive criticism I'm completely serious. I want you guys to tell me what you think. This is my first original character I'm putting on this site so I want you to tell me what you think of Rose. I want you to tell me predictions of what you think will happen in the story. If you think I can write something a lot better, let me know.
Thank you all who have made it even farther than paragraph four. Below this you will see a recap on the history of the Summers family that you should know going into this story. I realize some of it they didn't tell you in the show, but I'm telling you that you should know some of these things to save you from little bits of confusion here and there. Sure, I won't put some into the story, and others may just be simple description to add some pop to the storyline, but others you may want to know.

Also in my story, it's like the comics with a twist. Scott IS dating Jean, and Alex is dating Lorna. I know you all know who Jean is, and I hope you all know who Lorna is (she WASN'T in the show) but if you don't her information is below.
I am not going to include Jean's information, since you can figure out her height and such by playing off of how tall she is on Scott and such. I'm sure you all know what color her hair and eyes are. She has graduated high school and is in college. I hope to God that you all know what her powers are, especially after Power Surge. If you don't, look it up.

By the way, I know I'm going to get comments about why the heck I put the height in the information, so why did I do it? I don't know. I'm switching it up from what it really is. Or at least I hope I am. I know Scott is 6' 2", but I don't remember how tall Alex or Christopher is. I'm not going to explain right now why Christopher has a codename for those of you that don't know. That will all get revealed. Please don't spoil in the reviews for people who don't know. I'm experimenting on messing with a really complicated family so please let me have a little wiggle room.
I'm probably going to get questions about Madelyne Pryor, Nathan Christopher Summers / Cable, Stryfe, and Rachel Summers. No, I'm not bringing them into this story. This story will be complicated enough for me without having them in it too, as much as I'd like to do it.
I and the rest of you that might want to ask me about those characters need to remember that Scott and Jean are only teenagers. They're not going to (Jean) die, get absorbed by Phoenix, save the Shi'ar, become evil, die again, (Scott) marry your dead lover's clone, have a child with her, take that child and dump your wife when that lovers comes back, help you lover kill you wife to save your child and lover after your wife goes insane, send your son into the future, (Scott and Jean) end up with that same child coming back old enough to be your father, have your alternate timeline daughter show up, AND have your child that you sent into the future end up to have an evil clone themselves. Vulcan isn't anywhere NEAR this story, and Nate Grey is as far from this story as Madelyne Pryor is.
Now that that is settled, now onto the first chapter of "Memories Buried Deep".
