Part One: Meet Mana
The room was dark, save a flickering candle in the corner of the room. The telepathic/telekinetic professor sat alone. He sat away from the candle glowing warm. As always he appeared calm, while lately his mind was racing.
Charles was gifted with an amazing amount of mental strength, but he couldn't forget the past. With all his powers he could not get over his first love. She was sleek and clear minded. She understood the powers of mutants and how they needed to be watched over.
"Moria, How I wish I could have told you exactly what I felt. How I need you next to me now. Moria, why couldn't we have been there together?" Professor Xavier spoke to himself
But he was called from thought when there was a light knocking at the door. Xavier allowed himself to pick up on the brain waves.
"Ororo, Come in my child." He greeted warmly
"Professor, there is a lovely woman in the front hall, waiting for you." She smiled then added with concern "You don't look well Charles."
"Ororo, I will be fine, and I will be right there. Don't worry your lovely head." He smiled sincerely
"Yes Professor." She nodded and left through the chestnut door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
"Hello, Mah name is Rogue. Welcome to Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters" She greeted the lovely blonde
"Hello Rogue, I'm Mana. Thank you." She smiled
"Mana, that's a lovely name, what does it mean?" Jean Grey questioned, choosing not to search through memories with her powers
"It means 'psychic gifts' and thank you."
"Make ya self at home sugah, The Professor will be right here." The southern Rogue smiled
"Thank you." She smiled sitting on the lovely maroon couch ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
The professor entered the room with a polite smile, he hadn't had any visitors for awhile. "Hello, I'm Professor Charles Xavier." He extended a hand to the lovely blonde ' She looks so familiar, she must have been here before' He though
"Professor I'm Mana." She grinned holding back her last name like a secret
"Tell me child, have we met before? You seem so familiar." He gazed at the lemon haired girl with giggly blue eyes
"Perhaps in one way we have but never have you met me" She paused waiting for response, but continued when there was none evident.
"You see I am a descendent of yours and some one you knew."
"How so, Mana?" Charles raised an eyebrow
"Well actually, I'm.um" Mana suddenly tensed, she got very nervous and passed her eyes along the crowd of people 'No turning back now, Mana, get your thoughts together' she thought to herself
"Your what Mana?" Rogue urged
"I'm your daughter Charles." She batted her eyes
"My daughter???" For once the Professor was stunned
"Uh-huh, by Moira Kinrose. You remember her correct?" She nervously twitched her fingers, waiting for the shock to wear of
"Moira- you're everything like her. The hair, the eyes-the mature dialogue." He starred unbelievingly
"But it's been nearly 28 years since I last saw her." He frowned
"I know. I have spent half my life looking for you. I never believed I would find you. You just up and." Mana broke off. She closed her eyes to hold back the hot tears.
"I haven't an idea what to say!" He smiled "Except how have you been?" He couldn't help but starring at her face
"Lonely, very lonely dad." She smiled; it felt good to have a father
"Hey every one who wants to join me and Jean in the rec. room?" Scott called eagerly "Good idea, Come on gang." Jean called ushering the whole mob of x- men out of the room.
^Thank you Scott^
^Any time Professor^
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- "Well we have an amazing amount of history to catch up on." Charles smiled to the girl on the couch
"Dad, I came here cause not only have I really wanted to know you, but I would really like to attend your school." She smiled in away that Moria used to use to melt his heart.
"Really?" He chuckled
"Yes, and if it weren't for you good-hearted student and friend, Remy, I would have never found you." She looked gratefully towards the smiling Cajun
"Remy-Gambit-Remy??" He looked shocked
"Yes, I was at the library looking at the genealogy information and there was this nice fellow who approached me. He spoke with a heavy accent and called me 'Cheri' a lot but he was helpful." She beamed
"Well all that matters is your back to me. How is your mother?" Xavier looked hopefully
"Uh- She died of a old age." Mana shook her head sorrowfully
"Oh. I'm so sorry" He tried to comfort her
"No-no I'm fine. I just miss her once in awhile."
^Professor your needed in the med lab NOW^ Jean called
^Yes Jean, thank you^
"Mana I have some business I have to attend to but perhaps you can find a guide around the grounds" He Smiled and wheeled out of the room
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Mana walked down the long halls alone, sensing Remy was near. She let her senses take her to the second floor of the building to a dimly lit room. She smiled, she expected as much from Remy's room. Lying on the bed was Remy's large frame-he was breathing slightly fast, so he was awake
"Remy, may I come in." She smiled
"Oui, Cherie." He sat up allowing room on his bed for her to it.
"Thank you." She tiptoed into the room and shut it behind her.
".."
"Remy, I owe you a 'thank you'" She grinned
"Non-Cherie is mah pleasure ta help you." Remy smiled
"Remy, I don't know if I'm moving things to fast. I mean, what if he didn't want to know he had a daughter."
He frowned "Why, Remy like you, you like you, P'rfeser like you too." Remy attempted to sooth her
"Oh Remy you're so sweet." she leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Cherie, I love you but non reason for us to rush t'ings" Remy stroked her hair
"I know Remy. Have a good evening." She pecked Remy on the cheek and headed to where she knew Ororo would be.
