Hospital and School
Professor Xavier left the room and went to the nurses' station to have the Allerdyce s discharged. After a short exam, they were aloud to leave. The four were very excited to be leaving the hospital environment after five long years.
The group headed down to the rest of the X-Men and what met their eyes was heartbreaking. Alicia and Katie were standing outside their grandmother's recovery room howling with sobs.
"What's wrong?" John asked the two sisters. The only response was even louder sobs.
"Grandma hasn't woken up, the doctors are worried, and she should have already woken up." Katie managed to choke out before her voice dissolved into more crying.
"I'm sure everything will be fine. It's just taking a little more time than they thought." the professor said calmly. The girls' sobs softened until they had calmed down.
A moment later the doctor that had performed the operation stepped out into the hallway
"She just woke up and she is wondering where her granddaughters are." the doctor said with a smile as he went into the next room to his next patient. The sisters smiled too as they went back in the recovery room to see their grandmother.
After visiting hours had past for the day the X-Men and the newly reunited Allerdyce family headed back to the institute.
"Marlene, William, This may seem sudden, but I could always use new teachers at the school." Xavier said.
"We accept." both said with no hesitation seeing as how John told them everything. They knew they wanted to be X-Men as well.
Early the next morning Amy and Stan went to pick up the grandmother from the hospital. Jonathan greeted the three in the foyer when they returned.
"Hi Grandma. How are you feeling?"
"The doctor said I'd be good as new in two weeks," the elderly woman replied smiling at her grandson. ", Now what is all this I hear about Alicia and Katie finding boyfriends? I'd like to meet them."
"Oh, yes they do have boyfriends."
"Hey, they aren't our boyfriends. They are our guy friends." Katie said when she and Alicia came to the foyer to greet their grandma.
"Really? I didn't know guy friends kissed their friends who are girls." Jonathan shot back with a smirk. ", Don't give that innocent look. I saw you and Remy making out in the gameroom after lunch yesterday."
"You've been spying on Katie? Bad for you sis." Alicia said.
"You should talk. I've seen you and John going at it in the Danger Room after sessions. I caught you two when I was in the watchtower. I was trying to reset the simulation for the afternoon session for the new recruits." Katie retorted.
" Oh, keep yer big mouth shut. Miss priss." Alicia said
"Anyway it's time for lunch. Are you going to stay grandma?" Katie stopped the verbal match to ask.
"Actually, Grandma will be staying during her two week recovery." Amy said.
With that, the six went to get some lunch.
That day was the last of the summer. Tomorrow would be the first day of school, which was seen as the most dreaded day of the year, especially since they were mutants.
