Hello Everyone! :) I have decided to completely re-do this story and am reposting it here. I will be doing one chapter a week. So for those who have already read the story, there are a few changes to it that you might notice farther in. Thank you for reading and I hope you all enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own the X-men or the X-men storyline. I only own the characters of Ophelia and Lilly and the story I've come up with.
Chapter 1: Ophelia
It had been three months since Apocalypse had been defeated, since Professor Xavier saw his glimpse into the future. Magneto, Colossus, and Gambit came to the mansion, and became friends with Xavier and the students, just as he had forseen. At first the students tried to go back to school at Bayville High, but the rising fear from humans, and their hatred for mutants grew to a dangerous level. Professor Xavier had no choice but to turn his housing mansion into a school, and so, additions were made to the mansion. Ororo, Jean, Scott, Hank, Xavier, Erik, Piotr, and reluctantly Logan and Gambit became teachers at the school. Jean also studied under Hank so that she could learn how to be a doctor, and help him help the students who were injured.
She was 4'0" with waist length black hair and bright shining black inquisitive eyes. She had gone shopping with some of the other kids from school, but accidentally got separated from them. Now she was wandering the shopping district by herself, trying to find her way back. She was looking around frantically when a young teenage girl walked up to her and kneeled down right in front of her. The young girl had light blond hair, and sparkling, sapphire blue eyes. She had a gentle smile on her face as she looked at the small child in front of her.
"Hello," the blond girl said. "My name is Lilly. What is yours?"
"I'm Ophelia," the small girl said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Ophelia. Are you here all by yourself?"
"Uh uh. I was here with some of my friends and Mr. Remy, my teacher, but I got lost," Ophelia answered.
"Well why don't you take my hand and we'll go look for them?" Lilly asked.
"Can I just walk next to you? I don't like to touch other people very much."
"Of course. Now where was the last place you saw your friends and teacher?" Lilly questioned.
"Over by the book store," Ophelia answered.
"Well why don't we start there?" Lilly asked and Ophelia nodded.
The two girls started on the path to the bookstore. There were a block away from the book store and Ophelia could see that her teacher was inside looking around frantically. She stopped.
"That's my teacher!" Ophelia exclaimed.
"It looks like he's been looking for you," Lilly answered, noticing the brown haired man in a brown trench coat. "Let's go shall we?"
Ophelia nodded. Before they continued on their way, four tall teenager boys in jock jackets stood in the girls' way.
"Well well well. What do we have here?" One of the boys questioned.
"Excuse us," Lilly said, glaring at the boys.
"You can go sweetheart. We want that little mutie standing next to you," the second boy stated. Ophelia hid behind Lilly.
"Mutie?" Lilly asked, looking down at Ophelia. Ophelia looked up, fear in her eyes.
"Yeah, we just want the mutie so we can show her who the real bosses are here," the first boy said.
"Excuse me? I don't think so. One, it doesn't matter if she's a mutant. And two, you can't go around picking on little girls," Lilly shouted. Ophelia latched on to the hem of Lilly's skirt.
"Don't tell me you're one of them mutie lovers," the third boy stated.
"Mutants are people just like us," Lilly said.
"Well then how about you take the beating for her? Only thing worse than a mutant is a human who defends them," the second boy said.
The first boy swung at Lilly, who turned away anticipating the punch that never came. When she looked up she saw the girls teacher, Mr. Remy, standing in front of her, holding the boys fist.
"Now, wha' kind o' man be tryin' ta hit a lady?" Remy asked in his thick Cajun accent.
"Who the hell are you?" The second boy asked.
"Hey! You're one of those mutants too! Get him boys!" the first boy said.
"I wouldn' recommend you be doin' that now," Remy replied.
The boys didn't listen and attacked Remy. Remy dodged their attacks and easily knocked them all out with one move for each boy. Then he turned to the two girls.
"You two alrigh'?" he questioned. Lilly nodded and Ophelia ran and hugged Remy tightly.
"Mr. Remy I was so scared!"
"Don' you worry. You alrigh' now darlin'," Remy said. He looked back towards Lilly. "Tank you chere. I been a mess lookin' fer this one. Might' fine o' you ta protec' her like tha'. Wha your name?"
"I'm Lilly. It's nice to meet you Mr. Remy," Lilly answered, extending her hand towards him.
"Please, it jus' be Remy. Remy LeBeau," Remy said, taking Lilly's hand and kissing the back of it, causing her to blush.
"It's nice to meet you Remy."
"It nice to mee' you too chere. I bes' be getting' dese kids back t'ough. Be seein' you," Remy said.
"Thank you! See you again," Ophelia said, smiling at Lilly. Remy and Ophelia left her behind and went their merry way.
