This story is set 16 years before the first X-Men movies.I got the idea after watching the X-Men Origins:Wolverine and will be a Gambit/OC. Enjoy :)
What if Jean Grey had a sister with the same powers as her? All the attention was turned towards Jean and her powerful powers,but Alex didn't seem to mind. Her and Jean both were born with telekinesis and telepathic powers,but Jean seemed to control hers a lot more than Alex. She was new to everything,but was taught by Jean how to control them.
When they were younger,Jean would look after Alex protecting her from school fights and bullies. Alex wasn't too known for her powers but she knew that she was different from everyone. And those people knew of the Grey sisters as freaks because of Jean. Alex soon grew into her powers,she decided that she didn't want to be like Jean. She wanted to do her own thing and travel around the country. At this point in time,there was no school for mutants,therefor she felt alone.
Jean wanted to be a doctor,Alex wanted to do her own thing. Her parents feared of Alex's rebellion against them and threatened to kick her out at the age of sixteen. Jean has been her fuse to keep her up when her parents would put her down. Alex wanted out,and one day it happened and it sent her down the wrong road,eventually leading to a known place called New Orleans. But lets not get too caught up and start the story from here....
"I had enough of you sneaking out at night, Tell me your not into those drugs"My mom roared through the house.I groaned and turned on my heel looking at her. She wore an angry expression with her arms crossed across her chest.I had been in my room for about an hour packing to leave this shit hole.I was finished with her bitching and complaining about everything. It was always me,never was the almighty Jean Grey who was going to make it far in life,and I was just Alex Grey,the low life school drop out.
"Will you leave me the hell alone Mom.I'm not on drugs and if I was,I wouldn't tell you or Dad alright."I screamed and shoved the last piece of clothing into my sac before swinging it over my shoulder, "I'm done here,I'll leave and you,Jean and Dad and you can go back to your perfect family image like you wanted"It was true,I was always was the odd ball out of the family.I could see that she never wanted me because I was different,but so was Jean and she was praised with her powers. Instead of bare walls and books filled with important information,I had band posters on my walls and music always playing. Instead of form fitting pink blouses,I had black tank-tops,wore jeans and skirts with fish-nets.I was different and had no problem with it,but my parents never seemed to except it.
"Don't you see what your doing,Alex?"She said from the doorway.I knew she was crying,but I didn't let it effect me. It was a sign of weakness,and I wasn't falling for it like I've did many times before, "If you leave you'll ruin this family"
"You've already ruined it Mom,for everyone in this family. You guys can't seem to except that this is who I am.I don't like school,so what?"I said stopping infront of her.I grabbed my car keys off the dresser and shoved them into my pocket, "I'm not going to be a doctor because you want me too,I'm leaving to do my own thing since you can't except who I am,I know you won't except that."My mom swallowed down hard and wiped the tear away from her eye, "Goodbye"I walked passed her and made my way to the staircase.
"Alex..don't leave"My mom called from my doorway.I shook my head and continued down the staircase. She should of thought of the sappy story before she began rejecting me all these years.I was done. "Jean.."I heared her scream at the top of the stair case before I walked out the door. Before I left, I quickly gathered up some food and other stuff into a plastic bag that I had thrown into the passengers seat of my car.I was going,I had no idea where my car would lead me,and hopefully it'll lead me to somewhere with answers. Who was I,was there more people like me? Maybe I'll find some acceptance on my voyage to nowhere.
I sighed in the drivers seat and started the engine to my car,gazing up at the house one last time.I stopped when I noticed Jean walk out of the house and began jogging down the pathway towards my car, "Alex"She called out,her crimson red hair waving in her face. She stopped at my window and placed her hands on the door,popping her head into the car, "Think about this Alex,what are you doing?"
"I'm getting away for a while Jean.I'm sure you'll understand"
"I do,sweetheart. But you have nothing,no money to get you anywhere. What are you going to do?"
I shrugged,I hadn't really planned out anything, "Don't worry about me Jean,worry about becoming a doctor.I don't need anybody to care about me right now,"I gripped the steering wheel tightly,wishing that she could go away. She shot me a stern look,she could apperently read what I was thinking.
"I'm your sister,Alex.I can't just let you go. We all care about you"
I swallowed down hard and shook the hair from my face. The brightness from the sun made the tear in my eye shimmer and shead down my cheek, "I know.I just need to get away and find myself.I hope you understand"
Jean furrowed her brow. She knew what I was saying and excepted it, "Alright,if thats what you want,then I'll let you"She backed up away from the car and folded her arms across her chest, "Keep in touch with me,alright?"
I nodded and glanced at her out the window, "I will."
"Alex,I love you. Your my only baby sister...be careful"She added one last time.I sighed and nodded.
"I love you too Jean"I whispered and pulled out of the driveway and sped off down the street. In the rearview mirror I could see Jean's figure standing out on the sidewalk watching me disappear out of her life.I felt bad for leaving her behind since she was my fuse all these years,but it had to be done.
"I hope you know what your doing"Jean said in my mind.
"Don't worry,I know"
