I don't own anything except for my OC's
(Next day: Crystal's POV)
While Hank and Logan were busy trying to get the team back together, I was helping Forge fix the blackbird.
"So, do you think it will fly?" I asked him.
"Hell yeah it should! Plus, your an awesome helper! No wonder Logan let you join the X-Men!" He replied. "Well, technically, Hank kind of wanted me to. Plus I did have to leave behind the family that Logan and Hank helped me save." I said. "What do you mean?" He questioned, I handed him the monkey rench. "Well, the family, adopted me." I said, I heard a clank from Forge's side of the jet.
"Forge? What's wrong?" I asked, turning to him in worry.
"Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!" He exclaimed.
"Tell you what?" I said,
"About your story, silly! You peeked my interest!" Forge replied,
"I don't know... You might think its boring..." I said.
"Crystal, in the life of a mutant, nothing is ever boring! So spill!" He said.
"Oh, alright, but after brekfeast. I'm starting to get hungry." I replied.
"Fine, you can tell me during breakfeast." He said. Dragging me to what was left of the kitchen. Since aparently, Forge didn't know how to cook. He requested me to make some bacon and eggs. Forge was gorging nearly the whole plate down his throat. It took me a while before I finally managed to get the plate out of his mouth. "Wow, someone was hungry." We heard a voice say. "EEK!" I squealed in surprise, slapping the mysterious person in the face. "Woah! Woah! Easy!" Forge got in between the two of us. I looked at the man to see that it was Warren Worthington III. "OMG! Mr. Worthington!" I exclaimed, "I am so sorry! Are you ok?" I asked. "Its ok, I'm fine. Though, that's the first time I've gotten a reaction like that from anyone." Mr. Worthington smiled at me, though, I've just noticed that Warren does seem cute. "Are you sure your ok Mr. Worthington?" I said. "Please, call me Warren. My father likes to be called Mr. Worthington." Warren smiled at me, "Uh, Warren, this is Crystal. Our newest member." Forge said. "So, what can you do?" Warren asked. "Telepathy, but I'm not as strong as Charles Xavier." I replied, both men in the room were looking at me. "What? Was it something I said?" I asked, "Uh, I think I hear Logan calling for me. See ya!" Warren exclaimed, quickly leaving. "What's wrong with him?" I turned to Forge. "Lets go keep fixing the blackbird." He said, dragging me out of the kitchen.

(Outside of the mansion: Warren's POV)
I ran as fast as I could to find Logan, I finally did and called out his name. He turned to me. I walked towards him. "What is it Warren? And why the hell does your cheek have a red mark on it?" Logan asked. "Your newest member slapped me in the face." I replied. "Ok, but did you have to run out here so quickly?" Logan said. "Yeah!" I replied.
"Fine, what is it?"
"You know about Xavier's old friend?"
"Yeah, but I forgot his name. Why?"
"Well, I think I found his daughter."
"Let me guess, you think Crystal is his daughter?"
"Of course I do."
"The kid's family is a bunch of humans. Which is wired since she's a mutant."
"You don't believe me, do you?"
"Not by a long shot. So if you don't mind. I need to go bring back the X-Men."
"But-" Logan was already heading to his motorcycle. I sighed and heard my phone vibrate. I took it out to see that my dad wanted to see me. I sighed and went to go back to my house

(At an apartment in Westchester: ? POV)
I was trying to make the tv turn off. But the damn remote wouldn't do a fucking thing! So, I took off my glasses and used my optic vision to turn it off. And honestly, I've been a mess ever since I lost the love of my life. I heard the door slam open. "Nice digs." I heard Logan say. I sighed, great. The animal who tried to take my girlfriend's heart is now in my apartment room! What could get better? "You done feeling sorry for yourself?" Logan asked, "Don't go there, Logan!" I warned him. But he kept going, damn that fucking big mouth of his. "Look at you! Your no good to anybody now, are you?" He exclaimed. "GET OUT OF HERE!" I yelled. He scoffed, "So without Jean there's no one worth fighting for?" I felt my anger growning with each word he said. "Huh, so much for the big hero. When the going gets tuff, the tuff pack it in?" Logan demanded, I couldn't take it anymore, so I used my powers to blast him threw a brick wall. Making him fall to the ground in pain. "Nice talk," He said, I just turned and walked away from him.

(At the mansion: Crystal's POV)
I was just making myself some bacon and eggs when I heard footsteps walking in. I turned to see Logan walking into the kitchen. He seemed more grumpier than usual. "Is everything ok?" I asked. "Just fine," He replied, taking the plate out of my hands. "Thanks, I was getting hungry." He grunted. "But, that's my breakfeast..." I said, "So? Make some more." He said, walking away. "Wait! But thats..." But he just ate it. "Fine! I'll just fancy myself some cereal." I rolled my eyes at him. I found a box of Honey Nut Cherioes. I grabbed a bowl from another cabnet and went to the fridge to get some milk. But aparently, someone's hand got in the way. I removed my hand from Logan's quickly, he opened the fridge and handed me what I wanted. "Hopefully it ain't expired." He joked. "Yeah, lets hope." I smiled at him. I poured the cereal into the bowl and poured the milk in there also. I place everything back into its proper place and went to go grab a spoon. Logan threw one at me. I caught it, we ate together in silence. After a while I started one with him. "So, Hank told me that you were looking for an X-Man named, Cyclops, right?" I asked. "Yeah, but he's a strike two." Logan said.
"Don't you mean strike one?" I said. "Rouge was strike one, Cyclops is strike two." He replied. Taking another bite out of his bacon. "Well, at least you got two. Who knows, things could happen." I replied. Eating another spoonful of my cereal. "You mean like getting the X-Men back together?" Logan asked. "Well, there's that. And you could also make new friends too along the way." I said. "Like me," I added. "Crystal, your only temporary, so no matter what you say or do to me. You better not expect me to start liking you." Logan said gruffly. He finally finished my breakfeast. "Thanks for the food." He grunted before walking away. "Jerk!" I yelled at him. After a while, I fianlly finished my breakfeast and washed the dishes, after I went into what was left of the living room and just read my book in peace, well, until Logan and Hank came out. "Where are you two going?" I asked. "Getting someone," Logan grunted. "I thought you couldn't get Cyclops." I said. "I'll explain later." Hank replied with a smile. I smiled back at him. "Can I come?" I asked. "No, we can do this on our own." Logan replied before Hank even said anything.

(At Bobby's house: Logan's POV)
We got to Drake's house, but we went with Hank's way, but if his way didn't work. We could always go with mine. "You are not getting our son back! We will not let him leave this house!" Mrs. Drake yelled. "You nearly got him killed last year!" Mr. Drake added. "But thats not fair! I wanna go with them!" Bobby complained. "Bobby, wait for us upstairs!" Mrs. Drake yelled. "Mr. and Mrs. Drake, please, just talk to him about it." Hank said. "I've already called the police, they're on their way!" Mrs. Drake said, slamming the door. "Alright, we tried it your way." I grunted, kicking down the door, which made Drake's parents gasp in surprise. "You comin' or what?" I demanded. He ran toward us and we all headed to the helecopter. "Your son's a mutant. Deal with it." I said gruffly, walking toward them.
"Alright, the X-Men are back!" Drake exclaimed.
"Almost, its just the three of us and our newest member." I replied.
"Really? Who is he?" He asked.
"You'll find out," Hank replied.
"Well, what about Kitty? Didn't you catch her before she left?" He said.
"You know where she is?" I asked.
"She told me she was heading to Genosha. Her ship left this morning." He replied. I turned the copter around so we could go get Shadowcat.

(At the mansion)
I told the kids about our newest member, Drake was very interested in Crystal when he found out that he was a girl. Pryde was also happy because there was another member in the X-Men who was a girl. I just told them that the only powers she has were just telepathy. Bobby didn't seem so happy about it though. But I'm just glad we finally got back here. And we landed safely into HQ. But I just didn't expect for there to be both Rouge and Crystal.
"Rouge!" Drake exclaimed happily.
"I knew you'd come back!" Pryde added, they were about to run to her when I stopped them. "Um, lets go find you some uniforms that aren't scorched or burned." Hank dragged them away from here. I was giving Crystal a take-a-hike look. "Umm, I'll leave you two alone." She said. "Don't," Rouge said. "Stay."
"What're you doing here?" I crossed my arms over my chest. "I... Umm..." Rouge stuttered over her words. "She wants to come back." Crystal finished for her. "Really? Why?" Logan asked. "I thought I was the same as them... But, I'm not an assassin." Rouge replied. "Ok, tell him what you told me." Crystal said to her. "They're going to hit Senator Kelly at the press conference, twelve noon." Rouge answered. "We don't have much time, we need to act now." Crystal said.
"We don't have-" Crystal started.
"Your staying here." I ordered. "What!? Why!?" Rouge exclaimed. "Because she doesn't have an X-Man uniform yet!" I snarled, walking off into my room so I could go and change.

(At Logan's room: Crystal's POV)
I wasn't going to let him make me sit here while he and the X-Men were going to kick some ass! I could be helpful. But just as I was about to open the door, the door opened itself and Logan stepped out. He glared at me. "If its about coming with us on this mission then my answer is no." He said. "Aw, come one. Logan! I helped you free a bunch of mutants from the MRD! I can help you save Senator Kelly too!" I exclaimed. "No," He said, placing his cowl over his head, "Logan! I can help! Just let me!" I argued. "Listen, darlin', we don't need a telepath on this mission. So drop it!" Logan snarled. He was about to walk off until I grabbed his arm.
"Logan, please, I want to help." I begged, he sighed. "Fine, but if you get in the way. Your outta here. Got it?" He said. I nodded. "Good, and make sure that you don't cause a scene." He added, walking away. I fist-pumped the air happily, finally! I get to be in on the action!

(At the press conference: Logan's POV)
As much as I hate to admit it, Crystal did seem pretty helpful. She only made small talk with Bobby and Kitty. Sometimes with Rouge too. When we finally made it we saw the the MRD were doing everything they could to try and protect the crowds of screaming people.
"We're too late! Its happening!" Rouge exclaimed. "Kitty, can you phase us in?" Crystal asked her. "No problem," She smirked, phasing half-way out of the copter so we could get in.
"Go! Go! Go!" Hank yelled. We all got out to help the people, but we got ambushed by the MRD instead. I was fighting off the MRD, I noticed Crystal and how she was trying to get the people out of here. I ignored her and went back to the Mardie I was dealing with. "Logan, we need to get out of here!" I heard Crystal call out. "Aren't you supposed to be helping the people!?" I demanded. "The MRD can take care of them. But I think the Brotherhood put us into a trap!" Crystal exclaimed. I sighed, figuring out that she was right. "X-Men, lets go!" I ordered, and we all ran as fast as we could.
"The Brotherhood used Rouge!" I exclaimed.
"Wait, where is she?" Hank asked. "She must be back inside!" Crystal exclaimed. "Come on, lets go back!" I said, but Warren stopped us.
"Get in." He said.
"Not without Rouge, she's still in there!" I said.
"No, she got out, I saw her. Come on." Warren replied. We all got into the limo and drove back to the school.

(At the Institute: Warren's POV)
"Good news, the MRD doesn't have Rouge. She must've taken off, probably blaming herself." I hung up my phone. Logan grunted in reply. "Logan, what happened today, you tried to save a man who hates you." I said, "That's exactly what Charles Xavier would have done." I added. "Hey, Warren, do you still think that Crystal's dad was apart of the X-Men?" Logan asked. "Of course I do, I mean, how else would she have known who he was?" I replied. "I'll deal with her in the morning, right now, I'm starting to get hungry." Logan said, walking away.
