This is the prequel to a X-Men crossover with Batman Begins/Dark Knight I'm working on. I only own Mai Magena Howlett and her friends. The story that tell her daughter is the same one told Logan in "Wolverine." It was such a beautiful moment between them and I thought it would a nice mother/daughter moment too.

Kayla Silverfox woke up to the sound of beeping. She sorely opened her eyes and found she was in a hospital. The last thing she could remember was ordering Stryker to walk till his feet bleed. A nurse came in to check her iv. "Oh good your awake. I must say your very lucking to survive the collapsing of a nuclear reactor. I believe the doctor wanted to talk to you." Kayla looked at the nurse with confusion, what was so important the she couldn't tell her.

"Miss Silverfox? I'm Dr. Bradford. Well, I'm sure the nurse told that you were lucky to be alive? Well, what she wanted me to tell you is that you lucky to alive especially since your pregnant."

"I'm pregnant?" She put he hand on her stomach

"Yes, about four weeks a cording to your blood results. We're just gonna keep you over night and then you can go home tomorrow."

That night Kayla laid awake. She was pregnant with Logan's baby. It was a bittersweet moment. She was happy, but she wanted him with her and hear the news.

"Don't worry Baby. One day, I'm sure you'll run into Daddy." She rubbed her stomach and smiled.

9 MONTHS LATER:

Kayla laid in bed, holding her new born baby girl. She was trying to come up with a name. Looking out the window, she saw a new moon shining brightly in the night and heard a coyote howling.

"Mai Magena Howlett. A combination of your father and me." She silently kissed her child's forehead and tears formed when Mai looked at her big brown eyes, her father's eyes.

FEW YEARS LATER:

"Come on Bear, try and catch me!" Eight year old Mai Magena or Coyote Moon as she was often called yelled as she ran thru the wilderness with her friend, Bear Proudeagle.

"Your going down Coyote!" The boy yelled as he chased after her.

Kayla watched as he daughter ran with her friends. She was well embraced on the reservation, even though she was only half Blackfoot. Coyote had her father's eyes and hair. It even flipped outward on the ends like his had. She looked at the photo of her and Logan by their bed. She had put the same photo by Cy's crib when she brought her home. It was of her in Logan's arms and he was leaning with his back to a tree.

"Mama, can you tell me a story?"

"Sure baby, which one should I tell? I know!" The proud mother crawled into bed with her daughter. "Do you know why the moon is lonely?"

"Why?" the curious child asked.

"Many years ago she had a lover, named Kuekuatsu. They lived in the spirit world together and every night, they wondered the skies. But there was one spirit who was jealous of they love and wanted the moon all to himself. His name was Trickster. One day, he told Kuekuatsu that Moon wanted some wild flowers from our world. So Kuekuatsu left the spirit, not knowing he could never return. So every night, he howls her name, longing to tough her again, but never will."

"Mommy, is that a true story?"

"Yes it is. Ok Baby time to go to sleep. Night. I love you.

"Night mommy. I love you too."

As the years went by, Coyote's abilities went from one to several:

When she was 12, she fell several feet out of a tree and landed with a bone crushing thud, but when Kayla reached her daughter's side, all cuts, bruises and breaks were healed. She had inherited her father's healing factor. She also inherited his sense of smell and hearing too. That same year, they learned she could communicate with animals. If others were around, they would just she her talking to whatever animal.

When she was 13, they learned she was an animal shifter. She could turn into any animal.

It wasn't until she was 14 till her mother learned about 'Charles Xavier School for gifted children.' It was a warm spring day and Kayla was working in the garden when she heard a car coming up the drive way. A man in a wheel chair being pushed by a large man covered in blue fur came up the walk way.

"Kayla Silverfox? My name is Charles Xavier and I would like to talk to you about your daughter."

"My daughter? What do you want with her?"

"I assure I just want to talk about her and her gifts."

"She's not home right now. She loves to run just before the sun goes down." She says with a small smile. "Won't you come in?" She ushered the men into the house.

"Forgive me, I'm Hank McCoy." The man in blue fur introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you."

"Miss Silverfox, you daughter is one the most gifted young person I've seen. I would you like you to consider sending her to my school, where we can teach her how to use her powers."

"That's nice of you offer, but this something I have to discuss with her."

"I understand. Was her father by any chance a mutant?"

"Yes, she actually inherited several of his abilities."

"What was his name?" Hank asked

"His name is James Logan Howlett, but he's often called Wolverine."

"Hmm. We were just curious, you being a single parent.".

Well that's that first chapter of my Wolverine/X-Men/ Batman story. This is gonna be a short series then followed by the Batman part.
