Prologue-

The children of Xavier's School for the Gifted all stood in the hangar where the Blackbird was kept. Several of their parents were preparing for a long mission, and not a single one of the kids wanted them to leave. Among the group was Kitty Pryde-Wisdom, Remy and Anna Lebeau, Dr. Henry McCoy, and Ororo Munroe-Howlett. The five of them would be away for months, checking in when they could. Nobody knew the nature of the mission other than the other adults, to them it was for the kids best interest that they not know. Kitty, Shadowcat, was the first to move forward towards her son and daughter. She couldn't believe how much they had grown, Jett was now eighteen years old, but to her he was still her baby boy. He had grown up to look so much like his father, messy black hair covered his face a bit as he tried to hide his emotions from everyone, but Kitty knew better as she took him into her arms. Jett, now towering over his mother, wrapped his arms around her. The young man hated that his mother was leaving on a mission, with Pete away in England, it would just be Jett and his little sister now.

Kitty leaned down and said her goodbye to her twelve year old daughter next. The young one rarely left her mothers side, though now that she had a few friends it was a little different, but in the end she was still at her mothers side. The two knew the risks of their parents going out on missions, just as all the others did, that didn't make it any easier. "You take care of your sister, you hear me Jett?"

"Always." The young man said with a smile. "Come home though Ma', Father is already away a lot…"

"I know, I'll be back as soon as I can. " She paused. "I love you"

Ororo Munroe moved to her daughter and swiftly hugged her child. The white haired goddess looked into Zaira's blue eyes. "You be good for your father." She said putting her hand on her daughters white hair. "I will be back as soon as I can. Promise me you will listen to everything he says. I know you like to argue with him."

"I promise" the 14 year old stated. "Mother, I know Father always means best, even if he is ALWAYS grumpy and growling." she smiled. "I'll go to my training, I'll go to classes, I will do everything I am supposed to." Ororo puller her close and held her for a few moments before pulling away and standing by Kitty and Hank.

Remy and Anna stood with Desiree off to the side, the sixteen year old being as stubborn as ever. She wasn't talking to them, angry that they were leaving. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she refused to look at them. "Petite…" Remy started, only to receive a glare. "Anna?" his wife looked at him trying not to smile. These times to her were hilarious, Desiree often got mad at Remy, and the two wouldn't speak to each other. Remy would try and try, but Desiree was very stubborn like her mother.

"Desiree, we're leavin', it ain't gonna change, we'll beh back." she kissed Desiree's forehead and hugged her before walking towards the Blackbird.

Remy looked at his wife and then to his daughter. "Bye petite." He said doing the same and moving to Anna's side. Desiree looked up before running to Remy and hugging him tightly, and immediately he held her. "Love ya Des…" he told her, kissing the top of her head. It was hard to leave her, after all these years the fear of losing her again still stuck with him. This was the first time he was heading off without her.

Words weren't spoken again between the small family, Logan walked over and put his hand on Desiree's shoulder. The girl let out a sigh before turning and hugging him, burying her face into his chest and crying softly. She was close to him, one of the few adults she would open up to other than to her parents. She knew he was truthful in what he said, she knew he wouldn't sugarcoat it, and that was what she wanted. Logan wasn't very good at comfort, but it never failed that she still went to him crying. He hated seeing the kid cry.

As the Blackbird took to the sky, the kids started filing out one by one. The last to leave was Desiree, she slowly made her way to the upper levels towards her room. As she walked in, she saw a pleasant surprise waiting for her. A large smile crossed her face, her eyes lighting up brightly, and for the first time in years, she heard the voice of her best friend. " 'ello Doll" There before her stood none other than Izzy Allerdyce, her best friend. It took a split second for her to get from the door to him. Izzy caught Desiree in his arms and spun her once before setting her down. " 'ow ya been, sorry oy didn't come down there…oy'm not so good with sayin' 'ello and then sayin' goodbye royte after." Desiree gave him a quick kiss on the lips, a greeting they had used for so long. A lot of people mistook it for them being girlfriend and boyfriend, though they had tried, it had failed. It was good enough for them to just be friends.

"Ah missed ya so much meh Izzy" Desiree told him still hugging him.

"Oy missed ya too luv." he replied back. "Oy heard we're getting a new Doc here later today."

"Oui, who cares ah ain't goin t' no new Doc." She said stubbornly.

Everyone please enter the recreation room immediately.

They heard Emma Frost in their heads, and it wasn't long before they moved to the hallway. It had started to gain more students as they moved to their destination. As Izzy and Desiree entered, they moved themselves passed several people. Desiree froze though as soon as she saw who it was they had come down to see. Faces. Those faces she had seen before. She remembered them all too clearly, but there were new ones. Three new ones with them and it confused her.

Emma motioned to the group. "This is Dr. Carlisle Cullen, he will be the Institutes Doctor while Mr. Mccoy is away.."
