Overview: What if Lauren had left with Andy on that night? What would have changed, what would have been her reaction to the inner circle?

A/N: Explores a more darker side of Lauren. Will also be going more into Andy's and Lauren relationships, as-well-as Andys and Rebbeca relationships and Lauren's view on it. Also, I know I jumped POVs a little funky in this chapter, will have to get better about that. Let me know what you think

"Nobody is taking him mom, and I'm going too," Lauren said. "It's time we take a stand, I'm done trying to hide who I am." With that, the Strucker kids walked away with Polaris.

Lauren POV

My life had defiantly gotten better having left the Mutant Underground. Not having to scrape for food anymore, or be cramped in a room with others. She and Andy had their own room together with a nice view over the city. Sometimes she still missed her parents though, but they just didn't understand. The Mutant Underground had good intentions, but that's all they were sad. She knew that they had been trying to find them. Apparently, some hacker was caught looking into their finances, sadly they couldn't allow people to look into them or draw attention. She knew that the twins killed whoever it was. The killing wasn't specifically something that she liked or particularly enjoyed, but she had come to terms with it as a part of winning the bigger war. Polaris was having her pregnancy, they were going out to look at a cement factory later in the day.

Andy POV

I had to admit when leaving the underground, I didn't think my sister would come with me. It had made things much easier. Not being so alone anymore. Lauren had always seemed conservative when it came to her powers, not wanting to accept or embrace who she was. He had decided to change his wardrobe a bit since leaving the underground, going for more darker colors, mainly black. He also dyed his hair white. Kind of starting fresh for himself, something he can be proud of, and not ashamed. He was no longer the scared boy he used to be.

A/N: Short I know. Just kind of wanted to test the waters a bit. Comment if you enjoyed it as that is what will keep me going.
