Hey people… this is me. DUH!!! Look, I'm sorry I discontinued "Past. Present and…" but I really lost interest in it and hardly anybody was reading it anyway. Quite disappointed really, as it was my first fic and all, but I'm going to try and write another one. Even though I'm a CRAP writer… "Past, Present and…" helped me figure that one out.
This story will have the same idea behind "Past, Present and…" but to explain who Caitlin Moore is, I'm going to have a synopsis as the first Chapter. I'm going to try and improve my writing and update sooner… when I can, anyway. Anyway, anybody reading this note please have mercy on a poor struggling fanfic author… please read it, and even if it sucks, let me know. Any tips and pointers, even nicely written criticism is more than welcome.
Disclaimers: All original X-men belong to His Royal Highness Stan Lee, and his kingdom Marvel Enterprises. Also to 20th Century Fox. Caitlin Moore and other various characters are mine, so please ask my permission before using them.
English is not my mother tongue, so please excuse my grammatical and spelling mistakes. Oh, and if anyone would like to read the remainder of "Past, Present and…" just e-mail me on gothicvampess@excite.com and I'll send it to you. For some reason I still have the files somewhere locked away in my computer.
Feedback: Feed the starving monkey!!
Ok, here we go again…this is the synopsis…
******************
SYNOPSIS--- VERY IMPORTANT--- PLEASE READ
After Jean Grey died, the X-men were devastated. The Professor sent each of them onto his or her own mission.
Scott- He was sent to rescue a little girl from her abusive mother, who used to beat her up because she was a mutant. After accomplishing this task Scott realised that no good would ever come out of sitting down and moping away in a corner on his own. He remembered how Jean used to love helping people when she was still alive, and he decided to dedicate his life doing the exact same thing. In doing this he would keep the memory of his beloved fiancée forever fresh in his heart.
Storm- She was sent to Africa, where she was once revered as a goddess. She helped the African mutants living in poverty in many ways- she hunted with them for food, served as a midwife to growing families, cured the sick who didn't have medicines and used her powers to create gentle rainstorms, so that the dry, parched crops would start growing again. She stayed there for three months, and when she returned home she realised that same thing that Scott did- the only way to live for Jean was to do the same thing that her deceased friend used to do- live for others.
Logan- He was sent on a completely different mission- not to help others, but to help himself (Logan isn't exactly a character built to help people). The professor had discovered some other military camp that had been abandoned. After being given the co-ordinates from Prof. X., he set out at once to a snowy place somewhere in Canada. One the way he met Caitlin Moore, a mutant somehow linked to his past. After some quarrelling, arguing and fighting (clash of egos, 'nuff said) they both managed to find the camp. It was a mess- littered with junk dating back 15 years. Then Logan found a tape, and when they inserted the tape into a tape-recorder (in Caitlin's diner, where she worked) they found themselves watching the operation- Logan had had adamantium grafted onto his bones, Caitlin had had neural injections in her brain, which sent nervous messages to her muscles and bones, giving her immense super-human strength and psychic powers. And, amazingly, the third mutant given a special kind of treatment was none other than Sabretooth. He was already a mutant with the same kind of powers that Logan had- healing powers and animal-like instincts. All three mutants were going to be 'transformed' into secret 'weapons' to be used in a human-mutant war. Logan and Sabretooth were both going to give Caitlin their two powers- their DNA was going to be combined with hers- but just as this operation was about to commence, Logan woke up from his coma, went berserk and destroyed the whole laboratory. Caitlin and Sabretooth both managed to escape- Sabretooth was found lying unconscious by Eric Lensherr not far from the lab, while Caitlin was found by an elderly couple in the same state, outside a small village in the same vicinity of the lab.
Logan, after a talk with Caitlin, decided to return to the X-Mansion. He hadn't completely forgotten about Jean, but as he had plenty of other things to think about, he found that the pain had subsided a great deal. Besides, he had already found someone else to take her place…enter poor Caitlin Moore, his new 'love interest'.
Caitlin Moore- A fifteen year old amnesiac who was experimented on just like Logan- in the same experiment as him. Her mind is incredibly strong, it gives her the ability to fly if she concentrates hard enough and she also has superhuman speed and strength. (Think Trinity in the Matrix). She is cynical, witty, very strong, and a hard, determined worker and fighter. Neural injections gave her body the inability to age properly, so like Logan, her age is impossible to determine e.g. she is ageless. She is of medium length, slim but not muscular, despite her strength. Her long hair is white and very straight, and she has pale skin, almost white- it is lightly freckled on the face. Her eyes are dark brown. She is British.
Caitlin discovered important documents whilst searching with Logan in the abandoned laboratory. They were in fact the will of her father, whom she had never known. He had left her 4 billion dollars and huge estates all over the world- apparently he had been some kind of rich knight, in connection with Her Royal Highness The Queen Of England. Mr. Murchison's (for that was Caitlin's real name) heir and will were never found, until now, of course. So she declined Logan's offer to go and live in the X-Mansion, jumped on a plane to England, got the deeds for a mansion in New York, and went to live in the USA. She retained the name Caitlin Moore, and, observing all the mutant prejudice around her, decided to dedicate her life helping her kind, just like Prof. X. And here, finally, is where our story begins…
