Prologue
Dr. Saeko Mizuno stares down in dismay at the young reincarnated hime, whom had damn near lost her left arm because of her mother and whom she had just found out was her step-father. In her youth she'd a brief and torrid affair with Jean-Luc LeBeau, while they hadn't remained together she did remain friends with Jean-Luc. She found it highly ironic that her hime, little Serena was the daughter of Jean-Luc's youngest and recently banished son. She'd already called him and he had promised to find Remy and get them both to Japan.
Saeko runs a hand through her hair, explaining everything to the LeBeau men was not going to be easy. Right now she was keeping the hime asleep until she fully healed. Dear Hermes, what did she do to deserve nearly getting her left arm amputated? Saeko refused to let the Tsukino anywhere near Serena and had called Kenji's mother with what she had found. Umika was furious but had agreed Serena being with her biological father might be for the best.
Two days later Saeko found herself showing Jean-Luc and Remy to Tsukino Serena's room, she'd already had it warded for the conversations to come, " Jean-Luc, I'm going to ask that you keep quiet or I will make it so you can't have intimate endeavors for a month, do I make myself clear. "
Jean-Luc shudders, " Still got dat same temper, mon dieu, ya one scary woman, cher. "
Remy chuckles though he was more occupied with the toddler in the room, it wasn't often his père met his match in a woman, " How is she? "
Saeko sighs, " Damn lucky she is whom she is. No other three year old could nearly have an arm amputated and hope to regain full range of motion. That's part of why I wanted you both here. Jean-Luc, the Silver Millennium actually existed, I should know, I was the Queen of Mercury and the only one truly qualified to treat your granddaughter. "
Remy was quick to latch on to that statement, " My fille(daughter) being a reincarnated royal, oui(yes)? "
Saeko smiles, " She is, the high princess of the Moon and Silver Millennium reincarnated. She received gifts of power from every planet, she's highly gifted in empathy, I checked, even now, and it seems her Lunar DNA decided your abilities would be useful so she has them as a legacy mutation. I can help you gain the control you need, Remy. "
" Comment pouvez-vous être me aider avec cela, docteur(How can you be helping me with that, doctor)? " Remy asks, his surprise evident in his tone.
Saeko grins, " Simple, Remy, I was there when she was learning control the first time and when Queen Hadia of Saturn was also learning control. Both of them have one thing in common, the capability to blow up a planet. I can probably call Hadia and have her help you out, Remy, as back then Hadia's daughter and the imp there were half-sister's and Serena spent most of her time on Saturn, as much of it as she could actually. "
Nine Years Later:
Serena LeBeau grins as she dances around Kitty Pride at Xavier's Institute for the Gifted, when she'd been eight she and her père had ended up in Australia where they had found Johnny, St. Jon Allerdyce being abused by his père. They'd rescued him, legally gotten her père as his guardian and gotten him dual citizenship in Australia and America while hers was in Japan and America. The fire inclined mutant was laughing as he watches their fellow mutants try to pull one over on Gambit's daughter. Only Wolverine could manage it and then only rarely.
The blonde leaps up and over Evan Daniels attempt to catch her off guard and charges up a few of her cards before letting them loose. Kitty and Evan both go flying back, Storm, Ororo Monroe calls an end to the training session, " Damn, girl, you ever going to let us catch a break? " Evan asks her.
" I can't be doing that, Evan, ce serait pas cool(that would be not cool). " Serena says as she goes over to help him up.
" She inherited the entirety of her father's abilities and she's a full-fledged empath, it will be very hard to catch her off guard, Evan. " Storm says.
" I know, Auntie O, I am getting better at sparring her one on one though, mostly because she's taken pity on me, I think. "
Serena grins, " Na, I just be having fun den, Evan. In here not fah fun. "
John shakes his head, " Evan, she and Gambit both have a skewed idea of fun. "
" Ain't that the truth, Gumbo and Gumboette both have highly unusual definitions of fun. At least they like fighting though. " Logan, also known as Wolverine says.
" Ah, Wolvie, don't be like dat, Mon Ami(my friend). " Gambit says, walking up to the group.
Serena smirks and Wolverine pales, " Not happening, Gumboette, I ain't being your pranking test subject again. "
" Too late, Wolvie, ya just don't know what I've done dis time. " Serena says.
" Gumbo, can't you get her to prank someone else? " Wolverine asks.
Remy smiles, " Now Remy don't wanna be stifling his fille's creativity, Mon Ami. "
Logan groans at this, why did Gumbo have to have a daughter that had him wrapped around her little finger. Then again she and Allerdyce or matchstick were close, he knew Allerdyce had been abused, he knew Gumbo would never hurt his fille so that meant the abuse she may have suffered was on her mother and possible step-father as Gumbo had said he hadn't known she existed until nine years ago.
Evan, John, and Serena make their way outside, mostly so John and Serena could spar, they needed more room for one of their spars as John, while not nearly as acrobatic as Remy and Serena could hold his own with them, came from being trained by Gambit for four years and refusing to be outdone by the man's daughter. While Gambit favored a bo staff his daughter favored daggers and John liked tonfa. The Australian had been trained in the ways of the thief and knew Remy was technically married to keep the Thieves Guild and the Assassins Guilds in peace. It had been Serena to make it so her père could go home and see his family, she'd snuck in and threatened to kill Belladonna, whom was the current head if she didn't make up for her brother and father's stupidity.
Belladonna was no fool and realized whom the mere child was that had snuck in. Serena's blonde hair now had her father's brown streaked throughout it, plus she'd used kinetic energy to toss aside Bella's bodyguards. The banishment had been lifted as no child should be cut off from their family. That had meant John and Serena had been accepted into the guild and fully trained, they'd both had their tilling and gained Master Thief Status. Mostly though they used these skills to keep things even. John was completely neutral but, when children were involved he could and would fight. Gambit and the Thieves Guild were the only adults he truly trusted, save for Mayumi Osaka, mother of Serena's best friend Molly and completely off limits for both guilds.
Mayumi had sheltered Serena when she could and the woman owned a jewelry store. Jean-Luc had received a glare from his granddaughter that had stated without words that Mayumi and Molly were not to be touched. Jean-Luc wouldn't have let that happen anyhow as Mayumi had given his petite fille(granddaughter) a mother's love however briefly she could. Remy allowed Mayumi to stay in his daughter's life, mostly because he knew his fille would have to go back to Japan at some point.
Evan watches as the younger mutants starts their spar and has to admit that the flips, leaps, and jumps made it that much more exciting to watch them spar. Scott Summers joins Evan as he watches Serena and John spar, " I hate to admit this but, the thieves guild knows how to train people on how to fight. "
" Poor Cykey, ya not be likin' da fact dat dis gal be bestin' ya in the Dang'ah Room? " Serena asks as she catches John's leg and using his momentum sends him sailing before immediately back flipping away.
Evan laughs at the look on Scott's face, everyone knew Scott had problems with Logan and Gambit, they didn't extend too far towards Serena as Gambit took exception to his fille being messed with. No one was allowed to mess with his fille, his daughter. Mystique had learned that the hard way not that long ago, she'd barely made it out alive after Gambit went after her. Even the Professor couldn't fault Gambit for that as everyone knew how protective he was of his fille. Serena did have problems with Jean Grey as Jean kept trying to get into her head. Serena didn't take kindly to this and changed her mental defenses accordingly. Her mental defenses meant mental pain for telepaths now.
The Professor hadn't been happy about it, especially when she explained that Jean had been sneaking around in her head. Serena smirks as she looks at John, " What da matter, Johnny-boy, can't keep up? "
John manages to keep his temper in check and not rush his Cajun raised friend, like she wanted, him being a pyrokinetic of a sorts he did have a temper and Serena knew how to engage it safely. Serena and Gambit had both worked long and hard with him on emotional control and controlling fire. Remy had given him a lighter that he made sure to keep on him and Serena, due to her subspace pocket which John knew about, Remy and Serena had filled him in on what she would have to do in the next two years and whom she had been in her last life, had an unlimited amount of cheap decks of playing cards as ammo.
" You really think you'll get me to slip up like that? " John quips and clicks his lighter, sending a small burst of flame her way while moving immediately and dodging the attack she had launched, managing to sweep her feet though she was quick to pull off a backwards somersault to avoid another blow.
" Not bad, Johnny-boy, ya gettin' good at dat. " Serena admits.
" Dat he be, fille, I think ya two have had nuff fun fah now. "
" Père, we nev'ah get ta go all out anymo'ah. " Serena says.
" I hate to say this but, she's right. " John admits.
" We always have ta hold back anymo'ah. " Serena adds.
Remy runs a hand through his hair, he knew they were right. The Professor had refused to let them fight all out citing they were too young and it could be detrimental to their development. " Maybe Wolvie will spar ya two in tha Dang'ah Room. " Remy says.
Logan grins as he walks up, the feral liked that idea, " Sounds good to me since I can take a beating. "
Serena and John both give identical smirks leaving Scott shuddering, the last time someone had pissed them both off, which had been Jean, it hadn't ended well, for the telekinetic and telepath. The red head had gotten her ass handed to her quite magnificently and had been in the infirmary for a week. That had been when the restrictions had gone on Serena and John. Not for their sake but for everyone else. Though they had never gone after Evan or Kitty like that. Hell, not even Kurt Wagner had received that kind of treatment.
Serena even thought he looked cool in his usual form instead of his holographic one and had promised to teach him how to glamour as technology could fail. It was only Jean that could elicit that kind of reaction out of them.
