Silence. No, danger. There was fire everywhere. Bones, bodies, flames. Ultron was winning and soon everyone was going to be gone. Steve Rogers was the first Avenger to fall. James Howlett otherwise known as Wolverine or Logan was the first X-Man to fall. Soon their teammates, alias, friends, they all fell to death because of the inhuman robot Ultron. Before he passed Steve told Tony Stark to take the Avengers children to safety. And he did that, or so he thought. He had believed Hawkeye and his son to be dead. He thought Huntress, a X-Man and Avenger to be passed as well as her daughter. He thought the whole Barton family to have passed, but that never happened. Huntress did pass, but not before letting her daughter go with Laura Kinney, X-23.
"Laura!" Huntress, Rosalina Barton, Clint Barton's true wife and mother of Francis and Artemis Barton, screamed. Laura was on the Black Bird, prepping to leave to The Savage land with 4 children by the command of her genetic template, Wolverine. The children Juliet LeBeau, daughter of Remy LeBeau, Gambit, and Rogue, Anne Marie. Andrew Drake, son of Robert Drake, Iceman. Nathan McCoy, son of Hank McCoy, Beast. And then Rachel Summers, daughter of Jean Grey-Summers, Phoenix, and Scott Summers, Cyclops. All of the children were very young and didn't know what was happening. Laura turned to face Huntress, her close friend and teammate.
"Rose? Why are you here? Where's Clint?" She asked worriedly.
"He's with Francis. Please, take Artemis. I know I shouldn't be doing this without Clint knowing, but Artemis is different than Francis. She has the X-Gene and I know she won't survive without someone to train her." She explains.
"Why can't you? She'll have your powers, right? Isn't it better for you to-"
"LAURA! Please, I'm begging. If we survive, me and Clint can handle Francis, I know he didn't get the X-Gene. But, Artemis, she needs better training and Ultron and Master Mold will have a better chance of finding a mutant. Especially Master Mold. I'm begging, take her with you." Rosalina pleads. Laura sees the worried look in her friends brown, glassy eyes. She takes the young, sleeping Artemis. Her white hair frames her petite face and soft snores come from her. "Please, take care of all of them." Rosalina begs.
"I will. Take care, Rose." Laura says before hugging her.
"You two. Now go, take them to safety." Rosalina says. Laura nods and goes in the Black Bird and straps Artemis in. She lifts off the ground and Rosalina watches the Black Bird fly away, never to be seen by her again.
"Good bye, my little mutant." Rosalina smiles before running to find her husband and son. Praying that she made the right decision for Artemis, even if it would cause her, her husband, and son pain.
"Tell us the story again! Please." The four year old Artemis pleads. She sat in a small hammock wearing a small purple shirt, with a X on it, and black pants.
"Yeah! Again!" Pleads the younger three year old, Rachel and a two year old Nathan. Nathan was small and had blue fur, like his father, and he wore white clothes with a gold X on the pants. Rachel had flaming red hair and eyes, and she wore a green top and yellow pants with a X on her necklace.
"Come on Laura!" Pleads a three year old Andrew. His brown bangs fell in his eyes and he wore blue PJs with X's on the pants. Laura smiles at them and picks up the baby Juliet, who had brown hair and a small white stripe on it, and wore purple and red baby clothes with X's on her tiny baby shoes.
"Okay, guys. I'll tell it." Laura replied and cleared her throat.
"And so it happened. The X-Men were formed. The Markswoman, the Beast, the Thief, the Rogue, the Flame, the Leader, and the Ice Man. They took down villains of mast power and many Mutants. Mind benders, metal controllers, and Monsters striving to control earth. Then, they took down the last and started lives. The Beast met a woman and fell. The Thief and Rogue fell in love. As did the Flame and the Leader. The Iceman met the perfect girl and got married. The Markswoman fell for an archer and left with him. Soon their childrens were born and each had amazing powers. But then, evil roes again. Evil known as Ultron and Master Mold. Ultron killed the X-Men's ally's, the Avengers. And Master Mold helped him destroy every one with amazing powers, the mutants, and soon there were none left. But the X-men Leader, the Animal had his own daughter take the last living mutants, the children, to safety. To train them and to someday, bring them home. For if they survived, all mutants still had a beacon of hope." When Laura finished the story, Artemis slept almost half off her hammock. Nathan slept on Rachel's legs and frost went around Andrew as he snored. Juliet was fast asleep and Laura placed her in her baby hammock. She began to leave their giant tree house before looking back at them and then up at the sky.
"I did it Logan. I took them to safety and now, teaching them how to use their powers like Professor X taught us. Rose, I'm keeping my promise to you and everyone else too, I'm taking care of them. God, I wish you were all here." She whispers and small tears fell down her face. She wiped them and left to her room next door. "At least I have those crazy kids. Now comes the hard part, keeping them from killing each other." She lightly laughed and fell onto her hammock and fell asleep.
