Victor Creed wandered through the city of Austin, Texas; he had been tracking the movements of his mate, Dinah, and daughter, Emma, for 3 years now. Dinah obviously knew how to cover her tracks well when she knew she was being followed. Unfortunately for him, that also meant it was that much longer that he was apart from his girls.

It had been three long years since he had confronted his brother and set off to search for them, using up quite a few of his contacts along the way but he knew he'd find them soon. One of his contacts had told him that a woman with white hair and purple eyes had been spotted in Austin only a day previous which explained why he was there.

The building he was to meet the contact in was an abandoned apartment building that had been condemned. Victor knew that the man had already arrived -because he had watched him from the alley across the street- as he walked into the building and up to the third floor where they had prearranged.

"are you sure she's here?" Victor questioned as soon as he entered the room, startling the small man.

"ye…yes, I just saw her yesterday, her hair is a bit different from the picture you gave me but it is definitely her. She also had a blonde little girl with her." The man said in a shaky voice and Victor could clearly tell he was shaking.

"good, where did you see her?"

"she rented an apartment a couple streets down, apartment number 4a."

"you did your job well, here's your money" Victor said and threw a wad of cash at the man before leaving the building.

A couple streets over Dinah slowly opened her eyes, staring up at the ceiling. For some reason, ever since she had run away from Stryker with Emma she had been able to see almost everything, the only problem she had was pretty much everything was out of focus so she had ended up having to buy a pair of glasses.

"Mama? You awake?" a small voice asked as Dinah's bedroom door opened.

Dinah looked up to see Emma, now nearly 4 years old, peaking her head into the room. "yea Mati, I'm awake."

Emma opened the door the rest of the way and ran to her mother who gently picked her up and set her on the bed next to herself. "what are we going to do today mama?"

"today is the day…" Dinah trailed off as a vision flashed in front of her eyes.

Victor Creed walked through an apartment building until he came to a stop in front of a door. He looked up and read 4A on it before knocking.

"victor…" she whispered and quickly put on her glasses and threw her long white hair into a messy ponytail before running to the front door. She didn't even seem to care that she was only wearing a white tank top and small black shorts as she threw open the door to see the man she had been waiting for standing 2 feet from her, his hand raised like he was about to knock on the door.

"you finally found me"

"Dinah…" was all victor got out before she jumped into his arms, her arms wrapping around his neck, her legs around his waist.

"I waited so long for you" she mumbled into his neck.

He chuckled, "well you don't exactly make it easy for someone to track you, even someone like me."

Dinah started laughing but it quickly dissolved into tears, "I missed you so much."

"same here Dinah" they stood there hugging for another minute before Victor looked around and noticed they were still in the hallway, "maybe we should take this inside."

Dinah nodded, got down, and pulled him into the apartment, closing the door behind him.

It was then that Victor took the time to look over his long lost mate. Her white hair had grown long and curly and now seemed to fall into loose corkscrew curls, her skin looked slightly more tan than it had been before, but still just as capable of driving him crazy, but what confused him was the fact her lavender eyes were paler with a splash of silver and she wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses over them. "what's with the glasses Dinah?"

Dinah turned around and flushed, "I bet it must look strange to you, a blind woman wearing glasses. I don't know why or how it happened, but for some reason I've been able to see slightly ever since I ran away from Stryker with Emma, only problem is, is that I have to wear the glasses or I might as well be blind, everything is pretty blurry without them."

"Mama?"

They both turned to see Emma peering curiously out her mother's bedroom door. "it's okay sweetie, come here." Dinah said and held out her arms which the young girl gladly ran into. The seer stood up, the child now resting firmly on her hip, and looked at Victor, "Victor, you remember Emma. Emma, this is your daddy. I know you might not remember him but that's because me and you had to leave daddy for awhile when you were little to protect you from a really bad man who would have done really bad things if he found out what you could do."

"Daddy?" Emma looked confused for a minute before she stuck a hand out to Victor, "I'm Emma Mati Creed, mama told me I should always shake someone's hand when I meet them."

Victor chuckled and gently grabbed the little hand, "that's a good thing little Emma, I'm Victor Creed."

Emma went silent for a minute, "you really are my daddy."

"and how do you know that?"

"I saw it"

Victor looked at Dinah and she held up a finger signaling him to wait a minute before turning to Emma, "Mati, why don't you go fill in some of those coloring books we got the other day and let me and daddy talk?"

"okay mama" the little girl replied and ran off into a different room.

"how did she see that I was her dad? I thought she only copies powers" Victor questioned as they walked into the kitchen.

"we've met quite a few mutants on our journeys, there are certain powers she manages to keep and others disappear within a day. It was back in Colorado about a year ago that we ran into a man that could see flashes of the past of an object or person. She shook his hand and they seemed to read each other at the same time, she's had the ability ever since. And don't worry, it isn't developed enough to see far enough back to see the horrible things that either of us have done, she can only go back a couple years. Though she is getting better at only seeing what she wants to."

"sounds like a handful." Victor said as he walked up behind her as she was fixing breakfast.

"she is at times but I wouldn't trade her for the world."

"I wouldn't trade either of you" the feral said before he spun her around and claimed her lips in a kiss, their first in 3 years.

Here we go, finally getting around to the sequel to Seeing Isn't Always Believing. Ah it feels good to finally continue Victor and Dinah's story. I'm just warning you now, it isn't going to be straightforward, it'll prolly jump around a bit until we get closer to the time when Magneto comes in and takes Victor away, you all know it's going to happen, nothing is flat out happiness forever, deal with it. Sorry, I'm writing this at nearly two in the morning and I'm tired. Anyway! I hope I cleared up that whole, "how was Dinah able to drive if she's blind?" thing at the end of the last series, it's because of the random reason I want her to see and I couldn't think of a good enough reason. Thank you to all my devoted fans! I love you! Good night!
