Chapter One - The Longing
"How long has he been sitting there?" Storm asked as she made her way inside of cerebo's room.
"He's been there since late last night," Logan looked over at his side when Storm had walked into the room.
"He sensed her possible location again, didn't he?" Storm asked as she walked over to where Professor Xavier was sitting at Cerebo trying to find his daughter. After ten years, he had almost forgotten the face of his daughter, but then again her face has more than likely changed over the years.
Logan and Storm remembered the young girl that would walk around the once smaller institute that Xavier once had. She was his pride and joy, as well as theirs. She had the biggest eyes that when she made a puppy dogface, the three adults almost immediately cave into the girl. They too missed the young girl that Xavier called daughter, and their hopes of ever finding the girl slowly dimming with each passing year.
"Charles," Storm softly said as she stood behind the elder man.
Xavier sighed as he placed the Cerebo headpiece back in its place and turned so he could look at Storm. He just sighed and placed his forehead into the palm of his hand. He had kept his telepathic bond with his daughter for ten years and each time he felt closer in finding her but the only thing he had was communication. He knew the sound of her voice; it had changed over the years to a much softer angelic kind and matured into a young woman.
"Why Storm?" Xavier said softly as he made his way out of cerebo's room to initiate the morning practice before the X-men went to school.
"Do you think we'll ever find her?" Storm asked with a sad expression on her face.
"I hope so, if not then Charles is going to have a harder time if we don't, her birthday passed not too long go either." Logan said as he walked out of the room. He knew that Xavier being a father and having lost a child was a hard toll on him, and though she was not his daughter it broke his heart as well knowing she was somewhere out there and not safe at home.
***
The young brunette walked the halls of her school, it was her senior year and she didn't want to spend it in a place that wasn't her home, home is where the Heart is and her heart was not there. She knew of Magneto's plans, she had known since the day he took her from her home. It wasn't something that well hidden, it had been ten long years since her separation with her father and she longed nothing more than to return home to be with him.
She did communicate with her father telepathically often, but it was not like speaking with him face to face. She had longed to see her father's face but the only way to look at it for now was the small family picture in her locket. She glanced down at her locket and sighed.
She went to her locker and changed out the books in her bag pack and the ones in the locker. She sighed and slung the bag pack back over her shoulder as she closed her locker door. She had transferred to another orphanage after her powers went a little haywire. She was learning more about her powers, but she didn't really have much of a time to learn to control them for all she could do was suppress them, as she would move from each orphanage with a new magnetic shield.
Magneto always followed her each time she would move. She knew he would not let her return home willingly. The girl knew that Magneto's shields were growing weaker by the day, and soon the shield will no longer be there. He would leave the shields out in the open for too long and it would weaken him so he would have to recharge himself slowly once again.
The girl finally made it to her class and sat down, she sighed for it was another day longing for home. Her history teacher was once again talking about the longing for home. She turned her gaze outside, where glass separated her from her freedom. Ever since she was young she loved to fly, it was one of her first gifts she learned to control when she lived with her father, along with her telepathy.
The girl missed the days when she was with her father, though the world at the time not ready to know of mutant kind she was free. She had to hide many of her abilities since no one really knew she was a mutant only the head care takers at the orphanages she had been at. She was always told to keep her powers under cover and not let anyone know. She was treated harsher than the other children but she never asked to be treated better.
The girl let one tear slide down her face as she remembered her father; he was always so kind and loving. Never harsh was he like the adults at the orphanages; she would do almost anything to be back home. Magneto had offered her to see her father, but the price was to join him and his cause. That was not a price that she was willing to pay. She knew Master Mind tried to alter her memories in her head to make it seem like Magneto was her father, but she knew that would only lead to lies, he was not her father...not even close to the man that her father was and is today.
"ALISON!" The teacher's voice rang and the young brunette turned her attention to the teacher up at front. "Stop day dreaming!"
"Sorry, Mister Smith." Alison said as she opened her history book up and began to read along with the class. She stared at the pages and tuned out the teacher, she would just read it later when she was at home. Home was a word that she would only want to use for the place where her father was. She knew tonight would be the night she would somehow tell him where she was at. Though there was a magnetic shield around the whole place...she would some how lead her father to her.
***
Alison sat down on her bed; she was given a small room. It was nothing like the room she had back home, but she closed her eyes and concentrated on her father's brain wave patterns. She was searching for him and tried to extent her powers over a great amount of space; she knew much like any other telepath their distance had a limit.
Alison was engulfed in a blue light as she searched for her father, but she didn't have to search far her father met her halfway. ~ Daddy? ~
~ Alison? Where are you? ~ Her father's was voice ringing inside her head.
Alison smiled, ~ I'm in an orphanage in the countryside of New York, not too far from a place called Bayville.I believe. ~
~ Are you sure? ~ Xavier asked quickly, wanting nothing more to see his daughter.
~ Yes, they moved me here a few years back and I was able to do some research on my location... ~
Alison couldn't finish her message when one of the younger kids came into her room. Alison ended the telepathic link with her father and the blue glow faded as the child told her dinner was ready. It was too close, Alison didn't want to end up being caught using any of her powers and sent to another orphanage. Every time she would change place they would withhold the information of her location from her.
Alison closed the door, and knew that maybe soon her father will be able to come and get her. She walked down the stairs when she saw Magneto waiting for her. Her expression quickly had an angry and disapproving his presence. She made her way past him when he grabbed her arm. She turned to look at him with anger filled eyes.
"Have you thought of my offer?" Magneto asked as Alison freed her arm from his grasp.
"My answer is still the same," Alison said harshly as she made her way to the dining hall.
"You know, no matter how hard you try...you won't be reunited with your father." Magneto said in a monotone like voice. "You might as well take me up on my offer."
"I will not betray what my father taught me, I will not follow a man with very little morals." Alison stated as she continued her path without looking back over to the man she had become to hate.
"You don't even know how you were born into his world, but I do," Magneto trying to see if she would waver, but it seemed it was not going to be an easy task to waver where the girl stood.
"My father will tell me when I am ready to hear it, for all I know you could be lying just to make me go to your aid." Alison stated as stopped and stood tall in her position.
"You are a fool to believe he will tell his precious daughter the truth!"
"You liar! The only one who isn't truthful is you!" Alison turned around pointing her finger at the older man. "You are the one that took me from my home and made me suppress my abilities every time I move. Make it to the point I don't know where I am and keep me away from my father!"
"Don't you think your father would have come by now?" Magneto roared but then felt someone entering his mind. Since he was not wearing his helmet his mind was free to be probed by Alison. She was looking through his memories, "NO!"
Magneto fought her back and Alison grabbed onto her head, she also felt another presence in the area. Alison quickly ran outside and noticed Magneto's lackeys were there. He was going to try to take her by force and she wouldn't allow it. Though she knew not all of the extent of her powers she would still fight back.
"You have no choice, Alison." Magneto said behind the girl and Alison just started to fly off but a metal rod was wrapped around her body.
"NO!" Alison shouted as she was being pulled down by Magneto.
***
The Black Bird was in flight onto the coordinates that Xavier had told Cyclops to follow. Scott Summers didn't know why the professor was so bent on going to where ever they were going. Sure it was not that far away from the institute but it was still strange. Then again what isn't strange at the Xavier Institute for the Gifted. Though they had almost rebuilt everything, it was still strange to be called out so late at night.
"Professor Xavier, we are almost at the coordinates you laid in," Scott stated, as they were just a few miles away from the location.
"Good, keep an eye out, Magneto is there and he is not alone." Xavier stated as he sense the other mutants in the location they were going to.
"Magneto? Why is he there professor?" Jean Grey asked as she was sitting next to their professor.
"He's after someone," Xavier responded as he looked out the windows in the blackbird.
"Who professor?" Nightcrawler asked from his position next to Scott, "And if he is there then why didn't we bring the whole team?"
"I didn't want to bring the whole team when there are things that still need to be done at the institute," Xavier informed the young mutant. "The person he is after is...my daughter."
"WHAT?" The three young X-men exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, I have a daughter, and for ten years Magneto has kept her hidden from me." Xavier responded in a sadder tone.
"Well, I guess we are on a rescue mission then," Kurt stated as they saw fire in the distance.
"It looks like Pyro happy is there," Wolverine stated as he came out of the back of the Blackbird.
"Yes, so we better be careful," Xavier stated as Scott was landed the X-jet nearby the location. The X-men made their way through a small tree area to see a building but that was not on fire but some of the trees around them. Jean was able to redirect some of the falling branches away from the group.
They stopped when they came to the clearing to see a girl trying to break free from some metal wrapped around her body and avoid the fire blasts being sent at her. She was struggling to be broken free and avoid the many attacks sent at her. The X-men noticed that Magneto didn't bring all of his new recruits just Pyro, Gambit, and Sabertooth.
"Let's go help the girl," Scott ordered as they came out of the clearing and began to attack the other mutants.
"How did you find us?" Magneto shouted as he noticed Charles Xavier come out of the clearing. He then turned his attention to the girl he was trying to pull down from the sky. "YOU!"
Magneto glared at the girl, "You called for him?"
"What if I did?" the girl shouted back at him as she turned the metal rods into ice, but at the same time not knowing how she did it. She was able to slide out of the metal bindings she was held in and landed on the ground.
"You are an ungrateful girl that is going to pay dearly," Magneto sneered as the girl just held her head up high till Pyro began to put the building on fire.
"NO!" The girl ran inside to get the people in the building out. Xavier saw the girl, knowing whom the girl was and called for Jean and Kurt to help the girl get the people out of the building. Jean and Kurt quickly made their way inside to get the trapped people out.
"Charles you were a fool to come out here!" Magneto shouted as he noticed the man who was confined to the wheel chair.
"You were a fool to think you could keep my daughter away from me," Xavier stated angrily.
"Is that so?" Magneto pulled Xavier's wheelchair over to his side and Xavier tried to fight being pulled and pushed himself out the chair. He lay on the ground as Sabertooth came to pick up the helpless professor but he seemed to forget his telepathic powers. He took control over Sabertooth's mind.
"No," Magneto shouted as he hurled cars and other metal objects but they were blasted away by Scott.
Scott helped the professor up and blasted all objects away from them, and Sabertooth just stood there like a mime completely not knowing what to do. They just left them there and the professor let his telepathic hold on him go as Wolverine attacked him and they began their age long fight again. Pyro was burning down the building and Gambit and Magneto advanced at the helpless professor and the young leader.
"STAY AWAY FROM MY FATHER!" Magneto felt a strong push of water push him off to the side, and he ended up bumping into Gambit. They were pushed off to the side and Scott and Xavier turned their attention to the glowing girl in the air. Her eyes were glowing a bright blue as she also used the same mass of water to drowned out the fire.
"Is everyone alright?" Xavier asked as Jean and Kurt approached him.
"Yes, we were able to get everyone out." Jean told him and turned her attention to the flying girl that was glowing a bright blue. "With a lot of help from her, whoever she is."
"Alison," Xavier whispered softly as Logan brought his wheelchair back to him. The girl turned to look at him and she smiled but not being use to her abilities that came to surface her body went into shock. She fainted and Scott ran quickly to catch the falling girl.
Scott held the girl in his arms, and the professor went over to the girl and touched her forehead. He sighed in relief knowing she would be alright, "She'll be fine, just a fainting spell."
"Professor Xavier?" An older feminine voice called, she was an elder woman and her gray hair up in a bun.
"Yes?" Xavier stated as he made his way in front of the elder woman.
"I am Macey Robinson, I am the head caretaker of this orphanage and I wanted to say..." Robinson paused for a moment, trying to gather her words. "Thank you, we thought Magneto would not do anything to harm our orphanage but we were wrong. We were also wrong to keep you daughter away from you."
"It's quite alright, Ms. Robinson." Xavier stated as he noticed the orphanage still stood, "We can help you start the rebuilding process, if you would like?"
"Thank you, that would be appreciated," Robinson smiled as the children of all ages went to see the sleeping girl in Scott's arms. They had not known Alison was a mutant or that she had living family left. Each one of them looked at her and let a tear slide down knowing that tomorrow was the last day they'll live with the girl who showed everyone of them kindness.
A little girl pulled at Scott's pant leg and Scott knelt down in front of the girl. The girl touched Alison's hair and her face; she then placed a kiss on Alison's cheek. She then motioned for Scott to lean down and he did. The girl whispered into his ear, "Take care of her, please."
Scott smile, "I will."
The girl than ran back as Scott stayed in his knelt position and looked down at the sleeping brunette in his arms. When you looked at her, you could tell she was the professor's daughter but there were a few features different from him. One can presume those are from her mother. Scott turned when he heard the professor speak.
"We'll stay here the night and help them clear out some of the rubble, and tomorrow afternoon we'll go back to the institute." Xavier ordered and everyone just nodded.
