~How She Came To Be An X‐Man~
A loud bang woke a young women from a dead sleep. Jumping up from her cot in her cell she looked out the glass. Alarms where going off and red lights where flashing. The young mutant woman didn't know what was going on but she was getting frightened. Sinister had made her, and wanted her to accept him as her mate. Nothing about love ever escaped his lips. He wanted her purely for the offspring she could provide. He hypothesized she could give birth to extremely powerful mutants. Which was why he made her, a jumble of level five or Omega Level mutant DNA is what she was. Some how Sinister had worked it so she had powers from everyone of her donors.
Looking out the unbreakable glass of her cell she saw Jamie Madrox she banged on the glass. "Jamie, Jamie let me OUT." She screamed at the dozens of Multiple Man that where running and now she realized fighting. Finally realizing she wasn't getting help from anyone on the outside she focused on her elemental powers and blew the glass off. Screaming out as pain radiated from the back of her neck bringing her to her knees. Sinister hadn't just let her run free, an inhibitor in the back of her neck made it impossible to use her powers without causing herself pain. It was also a mutant version of an electric fence. Anytime she went one step out of Sinister's home base the pain radiated.
The brunette with the silver green eyes forced herself up and started to walk trying to find a way out. Some Jamie's grabbed her dragging her back to her cell. Kicking out she screamed as she let her body turn to flames, the pain radiated again it was agonizing. It had to be to ensure she never used her powers against Sinister. The Jamie's dropped her and she let her flames die out dragging herself to the nearest door. However a flash went off too bright for her eyes blinding her. She passed out after that and woke up screaming unable to talk, or do anything other than writhe in pain. When someone tried to enter her mind she lashed out mentally and heard a thump as someone got thrown across the room.
"Whats wrong, you need to tell us whats wrong." A voice said, still unable to see anything, or speak because of the pain she lifted her fingers to a mans temple. 'Attached to spine at back of my neck. Cut out, hurts making pain. Heal if sever spine.' She thought feeling her body be turned over and then something like "This is gunna hurt." She felt the slice of a knife cutting off the pain. Once again she fell into the darkness curled into some mans arms who she didn't know. His scent surrounding her making her feel safe and warm.
A few days later she woke to a calm green and blue room. She smiled it reminded her of the few times she was allowed to see the outdoors. "Good you're awake." A female voice said walking into her line of sight. Red hair stood out and green eyes and a seemingly cynical smile. "Whats your name kid." that line irritated the brunette and she sat up frowning. "I don't have one. Sinister Called me Payne but it was never a name I answered too." She said shaking her head. "Well I guess its time you pick a name." Standing and crossing her arms over her chest the brunette arched her eyebrow. "Oh really and whats your name." She asked statistically. "Rachel, Rachel Summers." She stated softly nodding her head. "And this here is Professor Charles Xavier, the only person your genetically related to enough to count." She said walking out the door.
Charles looked at the brunette and nodded his head at her. "You can choose any name you like." Walking over to the man in the wheelchair she sat down in front of him. "So your genetically the equivalent of my father." She said nodding her head. "James is a good name last name, And I've always liked the Name Jossalyn." Joss smiled nodding her head liking the sound of that name. "How bout Jossalyn Charlotte James?" Charles smiled and nodded his head. "I'm honored you would want to take my names. And I'd like to make you my daughter on paper as well as in DNA." He said in his calm soft manner. She stood there her mind and spirit feeling the man out, not once had she been anything but content. "Yes I'd like to have a father instead of just a maker." She said nodding her head. Charles smiled and took her hand. "Then my child let us go introduce you to your new family and team members." Joss followed him, taking a deep breath to brace herself for the future.
~One Year Later~
When the sun rose everyday you could find Jossalyn out in the yard sparring with one of her many friends. Her father had been right she felt at home with the students of the Institute. "Come on Scott..." Jo taunted, they'd lost Jean Grey right before Jossalyn had been found. "Faster Summers." She hollered jumping out of the way, she was helping Scott on his agility and hand to hand. He relied on his powers so much and he didn't want to anymore. "Faster Scott!" Jossalyn hit him on the shoulder softly with her hand and then was gone again. She was tiny, her honey brown hair fell in curly waves just past her shoulders. Right now it was tied back as she jumped and ran and dodged. Her 5'3'' curvy frame bouncing off the ground and trees. When she tackled Scott and had him pinned to the ground she grinned. "Still a slow old man." Jossalyn tsked out shaking her head at her friend. Scott ran his hand up her back and let her hair down. "Really, How do you know this isn't exactly what I wanted Jo..." He asked his lips close to her ear. "I know it is what you wanted, but its not why we're out here." Jo jumped up and looked up at Scott when he stood. "Damn tall people..." Jossalyn murmured quietly shaking her head. Hearing something far off and smelling something familiar she jumped into a tree and started to Climb. "What do you See Jo..." Scott called up to her knowing why she was up there. "I don't know, a bike... There is too much dust for me to see who's on it. Could be Creed again, but that's not who I smell..." Joss looked at the Sky, storm clouds where coming in. Jumping into the air she heard Scott shouting at her but ignored him.
Flying in the air Jossalyn took a closer look to the man on the bike. Not wanting him at her fathers house without knowing who it was she landed giving the rider enough room to break. Taking shades from her back pocket she put them on crossing her arms over her chest. Seeing the man closer now she knew who he was. "The Infamous Logan returns." Joss said in way of greeting. "What does Chuck have an active house guard now..." He joked looking at the curvy little woman standing in-front of him. A smile curved Joss's full lips. "No just a curious Daughter." She said nodding her head. "I get antsy when bikes ride up. The last person who came on one of these was Creed, and he came after me and Jubilee." Logan nodded his head. "I heard..." He said, this little women was the one they'd saved from Sinister's clutches. "Hop on, I'll give you a ride Back." Logan said patting the back of his bike. Joss arched her eyebrow but nodded her head. "Fine with me. Scott is probably worried about me now." Logan arched his eyebrow at that, this little firecracker was not usually Summers type. "You and he a thing or something..." He grunted out in question as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "Me and Squeaky Clean Scott... Nah, he's a friend but Emma's got her eyes on him, and he well he is just trying to get over Jean." Logan fired up the bike and drove back to the institute very aware of the arms around his waist.
Joss hopped off the back when they got there and waved at Scott, who she could tell had a frown on his face. "Come on Logan, I'll show you where you're new rooms are. Things got moved around while you've been gone." She explained. "Thanks I guess I would have just walked into my old rooms without thinking about it." Logan said. "Well they are my rooms now. My father wanted me close to him, your rooms are across the hall." Logan looked at her, the forth floor was usually where Charles stayed but he noticed more floors had been added. "Yeah Father added two new floors above, and more below." When they where outside his doors Logan nodded at her. "Thank you..." Logan looked at Jossalyn in question and she laughed a little. "Oops guess I forgot to introduce myself. Jossalyn James. Everyone calls me something different though. Joss, Jo, Josie, Jojo, J.J. I guess I picked a good nickname generating name." She laughed shaking her head a little. "We're the only two on this floor, Dad is a floor above with Scott and Emma, everyone else is on floors two and three." Joss smiled softly at Logan then waved walking away.
Finding her friends in the kitchen Joss smiled and sat down in a booth with Jubilee and Bobby Drake. "Hey guys." She said sliding over to the wall and grabbing some breakfast. "So Logan's back Jubes." Jo said as she started to scarf down sausage bacon and toast. Jubilee nodded and her and Bobby left, they where inseparable now that they where together. No one had asked Jossalyn out since she'd been here. Rubbing the back of her neck and the scar that started at the base of her skull and went down to the end of her shoulder blades. It was jagged but it was made when the man who saved her cut the inhibitor out of her body. Jossalyn sighed her silver green eyes looking out the window. Sure she had friends, Bobby, Jubilee, Scott. And Summers might even flirt with her but she wasn't sure he wanted her. He was just running away from his feelings for Emma. Sighing out Joss stood and stretched figuring she needed a shower before anymore of the day went by.
Jossalyn was putting on jeans and a tank top when the alarm went off. "Forge, This is Nova..." Joss said using her codename and com. "I'm here, security is picking up Quicksilver and Avalanche coming to our front door." Joss used her own super speed to get into her uniform much like Rogues it was a body suit only hers was Blue and black with a black leather jacket. "I've got Maximoff, send someone after Avalanche, Nova out." Joss ran downstairs and into the front yard launching herself into the air before Avalanche could hit her with his seismic powers. Finding Quicksilver before he could find a way in she launched herself at him tackling him when she hit him. "Well, well if it ain't the little lab experiment." He said looking at her. "Just who my father wants." He ran at her and Joss jumped up flipping over him and kicking him in the back. Seeing Mystique come at her too she flipped back until she had both of them in her sights. "Forge this is Nova, we have more than security picked up and apparently they are here for me." Joss didn't know why people wanted her, she'd had the professor lock away her powers that she didn't use. Leaving her with Rogues Ms Marvel like powers, animal agility and senses, her mental abilities and her elemental abilities. Making her on par with Rachel and the Phoenix Force that resided with in her.
Joss stopped thinking about random things and started to dodged hits and gun fire. Rachel was at her side before she could blink. "Thank God Phoenix I was wondering who was going to help me out here." She said taking on the blue skinned woman as Rachel took on Quicksilver. "Well its not like we can just let the brotherhood have you. That would be like giving me to them." Joss rolled her eyes and kicked the guns out of Mystique's hands. "Whatever as if your as powerful as me." She joked, before Rachel could stop him Quicksilver ran at Joss tackling her and picking her up trying to run. But he was close-lined by Logan before he could get too far. "Where you goin bub..." Logan asked picking Joss up and making sure she was okay. She was knocked out cold, Logan helped the other X‐men deal with the intruders and then picked Joss up taking her to her room.
