It was a sweltering hot Mississippi afternoon, but Anna Marie had long gotten used to the unbearable heat in her 14 years of living there. She had just been tossing a frisbee around with Cody in front of her small home when her father asked Cody to leave and almost threateningly asked her to come inside.

As soon as she stepped inside the house Marie's father slammed the door. And that was when she realized something was wrong. Her father's features were marred with a look of anger and disgust as he brought his gaze down on her. He looked her up and down, memorizing every curve of her body. The way her flannel shirt clung to her petite and sweaty frame. The way small wisps of her auburn hair fell into her eyes. The way her knees were marked with tiny scars from years of play. And then he slapped her. Hard.

His palm landed on her face with a resounding smack, sending her tiny frame sprawling to the ground, and left a perfect imprint of his hand on her cheek. Marie cradled her cheek as she lay on the ground waiting for the blows to rain down the way they usually did. But they didn't come down, not yet.

"How dare you betray me!" her father screamed, his deep throaty voice sending shivers into her spine. He grabbed a fistful of her hair and forcefully dragged her into the living room toward the large splintery table that held the land line. He slammed her face into it then pressed a few buttons on the receiver.

A message played. It was something about a man named Charles Xavier. He said he knew what Marie was going through, and that he could help her. Marie knew what the man was referring to. Her curse. Sometimes when she touched Cody, or one of her friends at school she felt a whisper of their thoughts and memories enter her mind. She didn't know much about it, except that it only happened when she touched people. She had heard about mutants on the news and she knew she couldn't tell anybody. And thus she had limited her skin contact with other people.

Her father however thought differently. He did not know of her mutation. " You thought I wouldn't find out didn't you! You thought you were smart and sneaky," he paused in his speech to lift her head up again and throw her to the ground. " I warned you not to tell anyone Marie! But now look what you've done!". Her father was fuming, his face red while his fists clenched and unclenched by his sides.

"You want to be just like your mother," he snarled as he dropped to his knees and bent over her small form, grabbing her arms and pinning her beneath him. He grinned as he saw the look of pure horror outline her slowly bruising face. " I feed you! I clothe you! And this is how you treat me!".

He began tearing at her flannel shirt, the buttons popping off as he viciously opened it and took in the sight of her milky breasts covered by nothing but a green cotton bra.

"Daddy please!" Marie cried. "I swear Daddy I didn't tell nobody about what you did! Please daddy! Stop!" Tears streamed down her face. She hated when her father got like this.

"You lying little bitch! You look just like your mother! Beautiful but ugly inside!" he ripped off her bra and began squeezing at the two mounds on her chest. Her tears fell quicker now, as she tried to smack his hands away. But that only enraged him.

He slapped her hard once more and continued on with his tirade. "I'm the only reason you're alive girl. I deserve your body! I work hard to keep you under this home and you oughta pay me for it! Your momma! That bitch didn't want to please me! And look what happened to her! She's dead!" an insane cackle left his mouth as he quickly ripped of Marie's shorts and threw them aside.

All that separated them was the measly piece of cotton that covered her nether regions. Her father had touched and hurt her before, but he never went this far. Marie screamed, and kicked and cried, but her pleas were ignored as her father easily ripped away her last protection.

He grabbed one of her hands as she tried to claw at him and pulled off his belt. WIth it he tied both of her wrists to a table leg. Marie trembled in fear. She was naked, in front of her father, bound and helpless as he leered over her beaten and broken body. She knew what he was going to do, and she cried, desperately yelling, wishing for anyone to save her.

Her father quickly dropped his pants and underwear to the ground and stared at his daughter. She reminded him so much of his wife. Marie's eyes glimmering with tears were replicas of his wife's they day he took her. He was angry at his daughter, but excited that he would finally be able to ravish her.

He bent over her thrashing body and ran his head over her hair. "Don't cry baby girl. Daddy's here,". The words were whispered calmly, like sweet nothings from one's lover, but this was her father,

"Please Daddy! Please don't do this! I'm sorry! I swear! Please! Beat me instead!" Marie cried, willing for anything to save her. That's when it happened.

Her father brought his hand down to caress her dry but soon to be glistening folds when he felt a jolt. Then all of his energy slowly left him. The feeling was painful and draining. He couldn't keep himself up. He fell over Marie's writhing body. His rapidly paling face maintaining contact with the flesh of her naked stomach. He opened his mouth to scream but nothing came out. Then everything was still.

If it was possible Marie had even more tears streaming from her eyes. Everything was happening so fast she almost could not comprehend it. She felt the familiar tug as her father's thoughts crept into her mind, but they wouldn't stop. She was startled by the amount of energy coursing through her veins. She watched in horror as her father's body fell limp against her own.

But wait, that wasn't her father. That was her body. Or wasn't it? Marie wriggled her wrists, confused. "What the hell?" she muttered. Thoughts that weren't her own flitted through her head. Erotic dreams of taking her daughter… taking herself? Memories of waking up in the early mornings to groom her beard. But no, she did not have a beard. Marie was very confused.

Then a horrible memory consumed her. She was walking through the house at night, slowly so that the stairs to the bedroom wouldn't creek. She eyed the sharp knife in her hand with awe, thinking lustfully of how she would carve her wife's body. Screams. Blood. Blood everywhere. She saw her wife, no her mother's face. Pure horror on her features as she stabbed her in the throat.

She ravished her corpse one last time before carving her name, no his name onto her belly. Then all she saw was darkness.

Scott Summers was just finishing up waxing his car when he felt the Professor's presence in his mind. Come to the War room. Immediately. A similar message was broadcasted to the rest of the senior X-Men.

After about 5 minutes Scott had navigated his way to the elevator, down to the sub levels, and to the war room. He was the first one there after the professor, as usual. He took his seat at the long mahogany table near Xavier and waited for the rest of the X-Men to arrive.

First was Collosus, followed by Storm, then Jean, and finally Beast and the Wolverine made their entrance. Scott was surprised to see Logan intently listening as Hank described one of his latest scientific endeavors.

Once everyone was seated Logan took it upon himself to break the awkward silence that was beginning to envelop the War room. "So why'd ya call us down bub?" he addressed the professor.

The professor spoke of how earlier today he had tried to make contact with a man named Danny DeCanto. He had been detecting signals of very powerful mutant coming from Danny's daughter, named Marie DeCanto. He decided that the best way to entice Marie was to visit her before her mutation manifested completely, which is why he called down on his senior X-Men.

" Hank, I want you to do some research on her medical records and begin preparing her legal documents so that I may take custody over Marie if she agrees to join us. Ororo, you may begin preparing a room for her stay here. It is imperative that you get her a single room. Her mutation deals with touch and I cannot risk putting her or any other students in danger,"

"Of course Professor," Hank and Ororo replied almost simultaneously to his requests as they prepared to leave the war room and begin with their tasks.

" I want the rest of you to join me in recruiting Marie to- Ah," The Professor paused in the middle of his speech to hold his finger against his head as an agonizing cry for help resounded through the recesses of his mind. But the images that followed were much worse. A murder unfolded before his eyes. A bearded man carving his lover's corpse.

The Professor was shocked. The voice was powerful, the memories consumed him wholly. He was vaguely aware of his students shaking him and asking if he was alright. He was too indulged in this shocking discovery. A telepath powerful enough to communicate with him across the continent. That meant that this Marie's power rivaled even that of Jean.

"Scott. Jean. Colossus. Prepare the Jet immediately and get us on route to Mississippi. Marie is in danger." The Professor commanded his team immediately, finally out of his trance. He had no idea what was happening to Marie, but he knew she needed his help, and he felt an almost fatherly need to protect her. As if she were his student already.

A petite yet busty blonde slowly tip toed away from the side of the DeCanto home, her white heels tainted a light green from the muddy grass. She felt a slight tinge of guilt for allowing the girl to suffer at the hands of her father, but she valued her life more.

Aware that she was under heavy surveillance she quickly made her way back to the discrete black car parked. Her body was weak from the amazing display of power she had just performed, and she struggled to even open the car door. After a time the door was finally opened.

She stepped in, her eyes meeting those of the man she despised most, before casting a final fleeting glance to the rickety old house where she watched a girl get raped.
