"Lily? Lily it's time to wake up. Lily?"
Lily cracked open her violet eyes and pushed herself up until she was sitting in the middle of Charles large bed, the covers tucked nicely around her.
"Did you have a nightmare last night?" Moira asked sitting next to her on the bed. Lily rubbed her eyes as she nodded and projected a mental image of Charles and Erik to Moira.
"Their going to be gone today. Some business to take care of. They said they'd be back later, hopefully. Before you go to bed." Moira said brightly. Lily nodded again and yawned wide. She crawled out from under the covers and ran into the connecting bathroom. Moira smoothed the sheets and turned to the bedside table, where she spied a note with Lily's name on it.
'Will you read it?'
Moira turned to Lily and smiled.
"Isn't Hank teaching you how to read?" She said winking. Lily smiled and stuck out her lower lip.
"Alright alright. Come on, I'll read it to you as we eat breakfast." She said taking Lily by the hand.
'Where are sissy and Brüder?' Lily asked as she drank her milk.
"They're with Erik and Charles…helping. They'll be back at the same time. Want me to read the note?" Moira asked quickly. Lily nodded and levitated the paper up to Moira's eyes. She laughed and started reading.
" 'Dear Lily, we'll be back soon. Be good for Moira, she'll take care of you. Love, Charles. Mach was du willst, lieben, werden wir bald zurück. Erik.' Hmm…I wonder what that means? What Lily?"
Lily just shook her head as she giggled.
'What are we going to do today?' She asked.
"Well you are going to finish your breakfast. Then maybe we could go outside." Moira replied folding up the letter.
After Lily finished her breakfast and helped Moira by levitating the dishes into the sink, they both went outside to the patio. Lily laughed and ran to the railing.
"Ah! No sliding, you know what happened last time!" Moira said as she dragged a table toward the stairs. Lily stuck out her tongue at Moira but walked down the stairs to the grass. Moira set up the table and a chair so she could get some much needed work done while Lily ran around on the grass.
After awhile Moira looked up to check on Lily but she was nowhere to be seen.
"Lily? Lily!" Moira said jumping up from the table. "Oh god, Erik's going to kill me! Liiii-llllyyy!"
Moira ran around the grounds searching for the small child.
"LILY!" She screamed in desperation.
'Moira?' said a small voice.
"Lily! Thank god! Where are you?" Moira said in relief.
'I-I'm in the house.'
"Where?" She asked running inside.
'By the big stairs…bring butter.'
"Bring…What?" Moira said as she skidded to a stop in front of the main staircase to the upstairs. Lily was sitting on one of the steps, her head caught between the railings.
"How…? Nevermind, I'm getting a saw."
'No! Mummy will be mad!'
"Honey, I don't think he'll be so mad when I tell him your head was stuck." Moira said pulling a tool box out of a nearby closet.
'But…'
"Now hold still." She said pulling out a small saw. Moira held Lily's head away from the rail as she sawed through the wood. Lily whimpered a little as the teeth came close to her neck.
"Shhhh…I know what I'm doing. I had three little brothers growing up." She said calmly.
CLUNK! The rail came free and Lily's head was released from it's hold. She rubbed her neck a bit then ran off up the stairs.
"Lily! Stay out of the other's room's!" Moira called after her. She was only answered by a giggle.
Later in the afternoon, Lily had tired herself, and Moira, out and was asleep on the library couch. Moira tucked a blanket around her and was just about to start a book when…RING! RING!
"Hello?" Moira said answering the phone.
"Moira?"
"Erik?" She said in surprise. "What are you doing?"
"Is Lily ok?"
"She's fine. Erik what's going on? Is everything…"
"Relax, we're still on the plane. Nimwit here decided to take us to Cuba up through Greenland."
"Hey, I said I was sorry!"
"Was that Hank?" Moira asked.
"No, we let Sean be in charge of the map."
"Well there's your problem. Lily's fine, she's taking a nap right now. We just finished a game of hide and go seek tag."
"Sounds…fun…Tell her we'll be back soon. Ok?" Erik said uncomfortably.
"Of course. Oh! I read your letter to her, what did you tell her?"
"Uhhh…same thing Charles did…Want to talk to him?" Erik said quickly.
"Sure." Moira said. There was a moment of fumbling then Charles voice came out.
"Moira?"
"Charles! I'm really sorry but Lily got her head stuck in the railing of the main staircase and…"
"WHAT? Is she ok? What happened?"
"I don't know. I didn't ask. But she's fine. I got her out and she ran off to play some more. One of the rails is gone though so sorry about that."
"So long as she's ok that's all that matters. I've got to go…tell Lily we're all thinking of her, ok?"
"Will do…and Charles? Come back safe."
"We will Moira. Everyone say goodbye!"
"BYE!" Everyone chorused.
"Bye, everyone!" Moira said before hanging up.
'Mummy? Vati?' Lily asked sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
"Not yet sweetheart. Later." Moira said soothingly. "Want to help me make a cake for when they get home?"
Lily's eyes got huge as she nodded her head and followed Moira to the kitchen. Two hours later, there was more flour on them and the surrounding area then there was in the cake.
"Hehe, we look like powder puffs!" Moira giggled as she finally put a large chocolate cake and a smaller vanilla cake into the hot oven. Lily was floating the pots and wooden spoons around, making them dance with her powers.
"You're getting good at that." Moira said sitting down at the island counter. "Have you been practicing?"
'With Mummy and Vati.
"It shows."
'They say that if I concentrate hard enough I could move anything I want to.'
"I'm sure they're right." Moira said turning to fill a mug with coffee.
CLANG! CR-R-RACK! The pots fell to the ground in a shower of wooden splinters.
"Lily? Are you ok?" Moira asked turning back quickly. Lily was staring intensely off into the distance, her purple eyes began to glow faintly white and she started to hyperventilate.
"Lily?" Moira said moving to her.
"VATI! MUMMY! NO!" Lily screamed in a terrible voice.
"Lily!" Moira said frightened. Panicking she grabbed Lily by the shoulder and felt herself being pulled out of her body toward somewhere.
Her mind was transported to a beach, Cuba, Moira dimly released. Lily, standing further away from her among the wreckage of the crashed jet, was staring at…a beached submarine?
'Lily what's going on?' Moira asked mentally. Lily turned to her, stared blankly, then turned back to watch the unfolding scene. Charles stumbled out of the demolished jet, fell, forced himself back up and stumbled toward the sub. Lily walked forward following Charles, Moira being pulled along for the ride.
'Li-…'
Erik crawled out of the submarine, wearing a helmet, leaving a trail of blood droplets behind him. A coin, floating beside him, was thrown out to the ocean by his power. He smiled a moment then passed out. Charles tried to reach him but stopped and looked out to sea in horror. Everyone stopped fighting as they heard the noise.
BOOM! BOOM!
All the ships began opening fire on the beach, the mutants stared as the missiles descended toward them. Charles closed his eyes, Raven and Hank grabbed one another, Alex and Sean fell to their knees. The others simply stared in disbelief.
'VATI! MUMMY!' Lily screamed in her mind. Her voice brought everyone, mutant and human, to their knees. As the missiles came closer, Lily raised her arms. The missiles slowly stopped, sputtered and exploded, falling into the ocean.
'ENOUGH!' She yelled in a deep voice, well beyond her years. 'ENOUGH BLOOD HAS BEEN SPILLED FOR THIS PEACE.'
'Azazel, take everyone to Lawrence hospital center just outside Rochester.' Moira thought, hoping he could hear her. Azazel nodded and held out his hands. Everyone who could walk helped someone who couldn't and with a CRACK! They all disappeared. After a moment the ships in the ocean began again to fire away at the beach.
