A/N: Prequel to immortality sucks. Each chapter is Anna and someone else at different ages.

Anna- Fifteen

"Anna, be careful."

"I am!"

"Excuse me? What's with that tone?"

Anna rolled her eyes and turned to face her father, while still chopping carrots. She threw him an innocent smile and put on her best baby voice.

"I am being careful daddy."

"Yeah, yeah."

She watched as he turned to the fridge and began rooting around. Probably looking for a beer. She sighed and cut faster. Unfortunately her hands were sweaty from cooking dinner and the thick knife slipped cutting into the side of her hand. She shrieked in pain and clutched her hand. Before she could even turn around, her father was behind her. He wrapped a cloth around her hand and picked her up, cradling her in his arms.

"Dad! I can walk."

"Shut-up and keep pressure on the wound."

She grumbled and squeezed the cloth. She closed her eyes, feeling queasy from the fever . But it passed. She had been feeling sick for the passed couple of days, and was supposed to be in bed ill. But she was starting to feel better and decided to make her mom some dinner. Her mother spent most days with her baby brother who had incredible lung capacity and a need for a lot of attention. She heard doors open and she opened her eyes. As her father set her on the examination table, she was about to express how he had humiliated her but her mother walked in at that exact moment.

"What happened?"

Anna opened her mouth to explain but her father beat her to it.

"Nothing Marie. Annie just had a little accident."

"Accident? How? She was supposed to be in bed. Right, Hank?"

Anna turned her attention to the good doc, who merely kept quiet and came over to her with bandages. She held her hand out to Hank and tuned back into her parent's rant.

"Look Marie, the kid just wanted to make you dinner. That's all."

Marie sighed and stroked her husband's cheek.

"I know Logan. Sorry."

"Don't be, you're just tired."

Anna snorted.

"Why you had another child is beyond me. Perfection can not be achieved twice." she scoffed.

"Oh my!"

Anna and her parent's turned their attention to Hank. He was holding up her hand. Her perfect, unscarred hand.

"That's new." muttered Anna.

The next thing she knew, Anna was being hugged by her mother.

"My baby heals! She's heals!"

"Okay mom, be cool."

Anna delicately shoved her mother away. Marie turned her excitement to Logan and leapt at him, kissing his face. Anna turned away and made a gagging reaction. Hank smiled and patted her shoulder.

"Why don't we give them some privacy?"

Anna nodded and she and Hank walked out, leaving her extremely frisky parent's. She had some heavy celebrating to do. After all, she couldn't get drunk anymore, could she?

Anna lay on the roof a few hours later, enjoying the glow of the sun. She hadn't been able to sneak a beer but she decided to leave that for another day. Preferably when Hank was not with her in the kitchen. She heard footsteps but didn't look up. She knew who it was anyway. She suddenly seemed to be able to sense who was near her.

"Have ya heard?" she asked.

"Yeah."

She frowned and stood up. She walked right in front of him and glared down at him.

"Excuse me?" she hissed.

"So you can heal, big deal."

"Shut up snowflake!"

"It's Snowstorm."

"Whatever."

Robert the third, or Robert Junior Junior or Snowstorm or RJ, Bobby and Kitty's six year old son stuck his tongue out and shoved her. Anna growled and punched him in the face. He howled and clutched his nose.

"Anna Jean Logan."

She winced and turned around ready to face Iceman. But she narrowed her eyes as she found Bobby's fifteen year old son, Lance. She crossed her arms and growled.

"Not funny, Lance Drake."

"I think it's very funny."

She rolled her eyes and pulled him closer, crushing her lips to his. He chuckled and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Ew! Stop that."

Anna sighed and pulled away. She shot a glare at RJ.

"What did you want Snowy?"

"I dare you to jump off the roof."

Anna raised and eyebrow and looked down. They were currently on the roof now since it was their current hang out.

"RJ, it's too dangerous for her. And her parent's are down there." sighed Lance.

"So, she chicken?"

Anna glared and let go of Lance. Before he could catch her, she ran fast and dove off the roof. She expected to float but the ground came rushing towards her all to soon. Soon pain hit her from every side until she blacked out. As she tumbled into darkness she was suddenly pushed back up as her healing factor kicked in. She heard screams and voices and felt her body moving.

"Dad, put me down."

"Your mother has forbidden me too."

"Daddy, I'm fine."

Logan sighed but grudgingly put her down. She clicked all her bones in place and righted her nose. At which point her mother stood in front of her, trembling with anger. Logan reached forward and took newborn James from her arms before she exploded with anger.

"Anna, what were you thinking? You could have-"

"Died? I can't die mom. Never. I'm going to end up alone in this world. Jumping off the roof is nothing. I was just having fun."

She waited for her mother to explode further but to her surprise her mother sighed.

"You're not going to be alone baby. The world is to big for you to feel alone."

Anna nodded and noticed how her mother had given her father a glare. Then Marie hugged her daughter and took her son back.

"When I die-"

"Mom! No-"

"-listen, when I die, I'll be at peace. Cause no matter what, you'll always be there to watch over your father."

"Shouldn't that be the other way round?"

"No, you're like me Annie. You have a lot of heart to give. It's your job to care for others."

"Thanks mom."

Rogue- Forty

Marie sat on the rocking chair that night, rocking newborn James to sleep. He'd been more peaceful today than usual. The door to the nursery opened and she looked up as her husband walked in. She smiled and stood up to put Jamie in his crib. Logan came and stood behind her, as they watched their son sleep. Her thoughts drifted to their daughter.

"She's like you." she whispered.

"Not she's not. She's a splitting image of you."

"Anna looks like me Logan. But she's like you personality wise. Headstrong, determined, a very short temper and at times very mopey."

"Mopey?"

"Yeah."

She felt him sigh behind her and rest his head on her shoulder. She knew what he was thinking.

"Better your power than mine Logan."

"I didn't want this for her."

"Sugar, if you're scared, how she is meant to accept herself.?"

"Sorry."

"When she jumped off the roof, I've never been more terrified. I'm still getting used to her being able to heal. It's like every time you went on a mission and you were hurt. You healed but… god, I was always so worried."

"Don't worry about me baby. Just worry about staying healthy."

"Am I… am I still attractive?"

She waited for him to respond. He twirled her around and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. His hand slid up her side and rubbed her back while the other gripped her hip. She felt a heat inside her but soon he stopped and rested his forehead on hers, hazel eyes boring into her own green ones.

"You are still the most beautiful creature to me." he whispered.

"I still don't see what I did to deserve you. I thought after getting the cure and Bobby cheating on me, everything would go downhill."

"I think it's the other way around. I'm grateful for everyday I have you and my two beautiful children."

"Will you love me when I'm old and frail?"

"Even longer baby. Even longer."

She smiled and lifted his head to plant a kiss on his forehead. Then she sank back in the rocking chair, exhausted from the days activities. Logan sat next to the chair, one hand on her thigh rubbing soothing circles.

"The professor would have been proud Marie."

"Thanks. I think he would have been proud of all of us. It was nice to have him back new body and all but it just made it harder to lose him again."

"Iceman is becoming a good leader."

"Yeah, he has to now that Storm is retiring. She needs to spend the rest of days without worrying about the world. She also needs to pull that husband of hers from out of the med-lab."

"I heard their kid made it too college."

"Yeah, Clarissa was always a bright kid."

"Hey Annie is bright too."

"She gets that from me. Luckily."

Logan growled but it turned into a purr as she ran her fingers through his hair.

"Logan, you need to talk to her. She's can't walk around feeling like her power is a curse. From personal experience, we both know how that eats you up. Let her know just because she can't die-"

"-doesn't mean it don't hurt like hell. I know Marie. I'll talk to her."

"Logan?"

"Mm?"

"Promise me you'll be there for her. No matter what."

"I promise."
