A note to readers; the Nightcrawler/Scarlet Witch/Nocturne family is absolutely canon, it is featured in a few different X-Men comic series including Exiles and New Excalibur. Though their daughter has yet to be mentioned in the Wolverine and the X-men Series, Kurt and Wanda's romance certainly has, inspiring my first fic, More than a sea apart which was set in the same night as this one, only from Kurt and Wanda's POV instead of Blink's. For this reason and the fact that Blink is a reoccurring character in the show I've kept the fandom-category the same.

So please, if you're unfamiliar with Blink and Nocturne just take a glance at their Wikipedia pages, which should clear things up for you.

A final warning: The Exiles storyline throws all the characters around different realities and timelines similar to Wolverine and the X-men's future/past line, so confusing references to other realities will be mentioned, sorry, it's the only way I can explain Blink's presence in a time period clearly not her own.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but this meager plot and the coffee in my mug.

When Blink reappeared onto the third-level balcony, the reality of her actions fully set in. She had told herself when she first arrived in this past dimension that it was crucial to be careful of the future existence of her best friend and daughter of Nightcrawler and Scarlet Witch; Talia Josephine Wagner, known to the X-men and Exiles as, 'Nocturne'.

She realized that by teleporting Wanda to her desired location, to Kurt Wagner, she might have just initiated the conception of Talia. Blink was unsettled and ecstatic at the same time; she was filled with an acute sense of responsibility for her best friend's life. If Wanda did grow pregnant with Talia, Blink would have to shadow her with even more protection than she did now. Her friend's life would be in her hands, even if unintentionally.

'I've got to try and tell her about all this,' Blink resolved as she crouched into her gargoyle-like stance on the balcony railing; her favorite place from which to look upon Genosha. Her glowing pink eyes took in the city below her with a new appreciation; the birthplace that Talia would never remember seeing. Her friend had never spoken of this place, and had only early childhood memories of her mother. The X-man called Nightcrawler had cared for her through her girlhood and eventually teen years, while her mother's absence remained a mystery to her.

Nocturne had been trained as an X-man from the age of thirteen, and was an idealistic but jaded member of the team when Blink met her around eighteen. She had never shared the optimistic outlook of human-mutant relations the way her father did; she accepted that things were wrong but doubted they would ever truly change for the better. Her friend's lack of faith in humans reminded Blink of Wanda's own opinions. But how could a mother who was barely there possibly pass on her viewpoints to her daughter?

It didn't seem to make sense; but then again Blink was currently in an alternate time-period thanks to a bizarre dimensional rift she and the other Exiles had been skipping for some time now. Who was she to decide what made sense? She finally resolved that the only way she had a chance at communicating with her friend was trying to transport a letter to her, utilizing her teleport-crystals.

Retreating to her palace chamber on the second level, she scrounged up a fountain pen of questionable quality and a few sheets of paper. On it, she began her message to the future, and her friend which resided there.
