"Daddy! Something happened at school today" A teenage redhead says from the door way. Her arms crossed, a worried look on her face.
The long haired Cajun sitting in an arm chair across the door looks up. "Madalin, cher, what happened?" he puts his book down and motions to the couch across from him. "Today was your last day wasn't it? What could have possibly happened?"
She walks over, and sits crosslegged on the couch and stares at the floor. "Me and Talia got into a fight. I started to walk away but…" she looks up at him, "I heard her call me some really bad names… And I turned around and said 'And you kiss Alex with that mouth' and she gave me this shocked look and called me a mutant freak…." Her eyes flood with tears and she looks away. "Daddy, I think there is something wrong with me."
Remy LeBeau sighs. "Mad…" he gets up and moves over to sit beside her. As soon as he sits down she wraps her arms around his shoulders and begins crying. "Madalin. Honey. Listen to me." He strokes her hair and trys to decide what to say. "You know your mother and I love you." He sighs again, unsure how to continue.
"Maddy." A feminine voice says from the door way. "You know the truth about mutants don't you baby?" Remy looks up to see his wife, Jubilation (formerly Lee) standing in the doorway. Her yellow sundress flowing behind her as she walks over and sits on Madalin's other side. Remy feels Madalin nod in his side
"Of course Momma…." her words muffled against her father. "You and Daddy are mutants…"
"If you know that not all mutants are bad, in fact that they can be stand up people, and change the world like Hank McCoy did as mutant ambassador to the senate, why are you so upset that your friend called you a mutant?" she kisses her daughters head.
"Because Momma, I was adopted, I'm not like you, I can't be a mutant." Maddy sighs looking up at her mother, "It isn't in my DNA"
"Just because you aren't our baby doesn't mean you can't be a mutant Mad…" Remy smiles at her. "We knew this day would come…" He holds his wife's hand and puts his other on his daughters cheek "We knew you were a mutant, we know who you're parents are and we know why we got you."
"Baby, we got you, specifically you because of the fact that you are mutant." Jubilee smiles, "You know we are X-men, that we were part of the Xavier School"
Maddy looks between her parents flabbergasted at what they were telling her. "Are you saying that my parents were X-men too?"
Remy and jubilee look at each other and slowly nod. "They still are…"
