Just a series of short stories/memoirs of Mystique's. Time period would be post-X2, pre-X3? Includes spoilers for First Class! Although I don't know why you wouldn't have seen it yet, it's great :)
Charles
It had to start with Charles. I distinctly remember the fateful night we met, so many years ago… We were just kids, and yet… He was so wise, beyond his years even in his youth. Meeting him was the first time I hadn't felt alone. I hate myself for leaving him that day, on the beach. He had protected me so many times, but the one time he needed me, I left. Of all the things I have done in my life, I regret turning my back on his beautiful blue eyes the most. In hindsight, I wish I had done more for him. He was always risking things for me, and he loved me all the same when I was temperamental or hard to deal with. He had and unconditional love for me, and I hope that he knows I feel the same. No matter what side I may have chosen, or evil things I have done, Charles Xavier will always be my first friend, and my dearest brother.
Hank/Beast
Being a teenager isn't easy. Especially when you're constantly struggling just to look normal. I suppose that's why Hank and I clicked. I adored his blue eyes, the way they were always searching for something… He was really the first guy I really opened up to. He was my almost first kiss, my first real crush. He was shy, and so cute, how he tensed up at the slightest touch. It all seems silly, now, of course. The scared and self-conscious words of a young man pierced into my heart, and that essentially ended our brief yet longing romance. Still, I hope that wherever Hank is, he has found some one who appreciates him and loves him for every bit of beautiful he is. He deserves it.
Azazel
Love works in very mysterious ways. After a year or two of working together, Azazel and I hated each other, fighting constantly. I could deny the sexual tension between, but that would be pointless, wouldn't it? One night the two of us were on a mission together. We got into a particularly nasty fight, one thing led to another. You know how the story goes. I, Raven Darkholme, lost my virginity to the man I am certain is the Devil. Protection back then was scarce, and not the best, so I wasn't surprised when I found out I was with child. Erik was furious, screaming at me in a mix of German, Polish, and every other language he knew. I was still young then, and I cried as he called me a whore in just about 7 languages. Azazel was the one who stood up for me. He defended that it wasn't my fault, and he, as politely as one could, told Erik to fuck off. It wasn't as if we were all of the sudden lovers, but we cared for each other. A couple months later, he and Riptide left the group, going separate ways. Before he left, he came to me, and kissed me. I understood, and didn't fight with him, possibly for the first time. He whispered goodbye to the baby, and that was the last time I saw Azazel.
Kurt
Kurt is the boy-no, he is a man now I suppose, whom I hold dearest to my heart. He is my one and only child, my only legacy. After his birth, I was forced to give him up to the streets. By Erik's orders, I was not even allowed to see him. I recognized him immediately, however, on our journey to find Stryker. He was a beautiful blend of his father and myself. It took everything I could not to tell him I was his mother. Even after all the years between his birth and our meeting, I cared for him deeply. But how I could tell him such a thing? How does one go up to their son and say "Hi, I'm your mother, sorry for deserting you"? It was impossible to me at the time. I couldn't bear the look of disappointment I'm sure would be on his face… Still, in the few days I got to spend with him, I made sure to watch him, look over him as the mother I never was. He looked… happy. Not perfectly content with himself, but over all, I knew he would survive without me. I hold so much love for Kurt, even if I barely knew him.
A/N: End? Not really. I would simply like to wait to finish Erik/Magneto's later, since that one is a toughie. I also wanted to see if anyone would be interested in seeing one on Wolverine, since they did hook up in the comics, and kind of had a thing going on in the movies. Mystique really earns her name; she is a very mysterious character. I was glad to get more insight to her in First Class though :) Hope I didn't bore you to death!
