That's the only name you've ever had, okay?

I thought of putting this as a crossover between X-men and The Listener but I decided that not many people will have seen it so if I explain what is going on well enough then I can just put it in the X-men archive. Its super easy to follow and you don't need any prior knowledge of The Listener to be able to understand this.

I do not own X-men or The Listener…*sigh*

Moira MacTaggert was never one to give up or back down from a fight. She had worked with the CIA for many years and since her work with Charles Xavier, she had become a very respected agent. She was dedicated to her work but something soon got in the way of all that.

She had been in love with Charles since the moment she met him. It wasn't until after the Cuban Missile Crisis that she admitted how enamored she was with him. Of course, he already knew this. Its hard to keep secrets from a mind-reader. After dating for six months, Moira discovered that she was pregnant.

Charles was gone for the weekend with Hank at a conference with the UN about the newly discovered mutant race. She knew that once he returned that he would discover she was pregnant as well whether she chooses to tell him or not. With the uprising anti-mutant propaganda that was sure to come up, she didn't want Charles to be preoccupied with being a father and being the leader for equal rights movement for mutants. She made up her mind, she had to leave.

After packing her belongings into a suitcase and placing it in her car, Moira looked back at the Xavier mansion that had become her home. She had left a note for him stating that she was leaving because of a family emergency and that she didn't know when she was going to return. Moira knew that she couldn't come back but she didn't want give Charles the impression that this was forever. It would break his heart.

Moira had obtained a new identity, Rebecca Simons. She got an apartment in Hamilton, Ontario in Canada and her story, if anyone should ask, is that she moved there to escape what would be a loveless marriage with the man who had gotten her pregnant. She got a job as a secretary for the Hamilton Police Dept. and once she was no longer pregnant, would go to the police academy so that she could become an officer.

Eight months after Moira left Xavier mansion, she went into labor. Eleven grueling and painful hours later, Moira had a son that she named Caleb Tyler Xavier. She didn't want to deny her son his father's name and no one would be looking for Caleb Xavier, they were looking for Moira MacTaggert. No one knew that besides herself that this was Charles' son and she hoped to God that no one ever did find out.

Four years later...

Caleb grew into a healthy, happy toddler. He had silky black hair on top of his head that he got from his mother while his eyes were a piercing blue that he evidently got from his father. When Caleb looked at her, she could practically feel those eyes looking at her very soul and seeing all that she is. It was the same feeling that she got around Charles. It wasn't till Caleb was older though and began to become more vocal that she discovered why she had that feeling.

"Mommmmmyyy?" he whined. I had just started getting out our microwave dinners out of the freezer for dinner when he called me to his attention. I couldn't cook to save our lives.

I set the frozen trays of food down and crouched down so I was at his level. "What is it, baby?" I asked him.

" Why didn't you say Barry and Marnie were taking us out to dinner? I woulda got cleaned up." He showed me the marker ink that was covering every inch of his little hands.

I looked at him confused. What made him think my friends from the station were taking us out to dinner? I just got out the Hungry Man dinner for me and Kid Cuisine for him. "No they're not, honey. They didn't tell me about this. Did they tell you?"

Caleb just looked at me and I got the feeling my soul was again under inspection, looking for signs of trickery. He then looked at the door. I was startled as the buzzer for the apartment's doorbell rang and a voice came over the intercom. "Hey, Rebecca! Its Barry and Marnie! Can you let us in?" I heard Barry's voice say, garbled by the intercom's speaker.

Caleb got up from his spot on the floor then ran to his room. I stared after him then shook my head and made my way to press the button to let Barry and Marnie in. "Sure come on up."

I stood there for a moment trying to figure out what just happened. The only solution that I could come up with was that Caleb had read their minds as they were coming down the street. It seemed that he inherited more from his father than just his eyes. I knew that Charles was immensely powerful, especially for a mutant, and if Caleb even had half of his father's abilities, he would be forced to make some extremely difficult decisions that no one should ever have to make. She felt terrible that Caleb would have to carry this burden with him for the rest of his life. It was that moment that she knew that while she herself did not know how to read minds, she would teach Caleb to control his powers and how to hide them from not only the general population but also from Charles' machine Cerebro.

A knock at the door interrupted her train of thought and she went to open it. "Barry! Marnie! What are you doing here?!" I asked enthusiastically.

They were about to respond when we heard a slam from down the hall and Caleb ran out saying, "I'm ready to go." He then stood there and looked expectantly at us.

"Go where, sweetie?" I asked him. Though I knew where, I wanted to cover up his ability as much as I could. Damage control.

"Umm, Marnie and I were just going to invite you for dinner at Olive Garden because we have big news."

"What's the news?"

"We're getting married!" They yelled together.

"That's amazing!"

Three Years Later...

Caleb had such an infectious and enthusiastic personality as he grew older that you couldn't help but smile when he spoke to you. He could even make the grouchy hermit Logan, our next door neighbor, smile. He just always had that effect on people. I think the mind reading helps too so he knows just what to say to get people to smile.

We had been in hiding for a little over seven years and I thought our cover to be completely solid. That was until Erik found us…

Caleb and I had been out for the day and when we returned back to our apartment, he stood there in his helmet with a woman that I didn't recognize. In fact, he seemed just as surprised to see me as I was to see him. "Hello Moira. I didn't expect to see you here. Everyone thinks you're dead."

"Then you are mistaken." I told him while keeping Caleb partially hidden from view behind me. "Why are you here?"

He gestured to the woman next to him, "This young lady has a special gift. She can detect mutants and when she told me that she had detected a Level 5 mutant with the ability to read minds in Hamilton, I just had to see it. What is your name, son?"

Caleb came out from behind me and looked up and down at Magneto. "My name's Caleb Xavier. What's yours?"

Magneto simply laughed, "He is Charles' son? This is brilliant. The son of Charles Xavier in my Brotherhood of Mutants."

"No!" I screamed. "Caleb, run!"

He didn't question me and took off down the hall for the stairs. I was about to run after him when pieces of metal pipe from within the walls of the apartment wrapped themselves around my arms and legs and pinned me to the wall. Magneto left me there on the wall and began to pursue Caleb.

I ran as fast as I could. I was afraid of the man in the helmet as I couldn't read his mind. Both him and the woman had abilities that no human should have. If they scared his mother then that was enough reason to run faster than he ever had in his life but it was in vain. As I got to the stairs, the railing detached from its supporting poles and tripped me. I yelped and hit the ground hard.

I saw the man in the helmet walk toward me calmly with a gleam in his eyes like a hunter catching prize game with the woman following behind him. I screamed.

I heard a bang and I flinched. The door beside me opened to reveal Logan with an angry glint in his eyes. He stepped over me and sneered at the scary man. He cracked his knuckles, "You like picking on little kids? Well how about someone your own size?"

Bone claws started emerging from between the knuckles in Logan's hand and he swiped at the air in front of the man with the helmet as a warning. The man with the helmet was startled but not as surprised as I was. He just gave a nod in my direction and said, "Don't worry, we'll find you again soon."

He wave a hand in the direction of a wall and the metal began to bend outwards so that a hole was made to the outside of the building and he walked away.

I was breathing hard and tears were running down my face. Logan crouched down to look at me. "You okay kid?"

I nodded.

"Where's your mom?" he then asked. I pointed at the door to our apartment.

He helped me up then we proceeded to enter the apartment. There were bits of plaster, sheetrock, and huge chunks of the wall scattered on the floor of the kitchen. I looked up and saw my mom attached to the wall with rusted pipes that had emerged from the wall and was probably the reason the kitchen floor was in such a state.

"Mom!"

"Rebecca hang on. I'll get ya down." Logan told her. He reached down and ripped out the piping that was pinning her legs then the ones pinning her arms.

"Thank you, Logan" He nodded in response.

"Why was he after Caleb? What's the kid done to him?"

"Caleb is a class 5 mutant. Erik knew his father and knows how powerful Caleb will become. Caleb could tip the scale in Erik's favor if he joined him. He wants to show the world that mutants are superior to humans, not live in peace with them. If Caleb was to join his army, he could do some major damage." Rebecca explained.

"What can Caleb do that could cause all of that?"

"Caleb can read minds. When he is older, he'll probably be able to control them too."

Logan looked thoughtful for a moment then said, "I'll help you hide Caleb. Erik said he would come back to collect him. I won't let that happen."
