Chapter 10

"Nein, Adela, you need more agility." Mystique told her five-year-old daughter. Mystique taught Adela martial arts since she could walk. Since Mystique lived in constant fear of Adela's safety, she felt it was a necessary for her to learn how to fight if she was ever to go off on her own.

"It's hard, Mami!" Adela whined becoming frustrated trying to do a back flip off the wall. She could back flips easily on the ground, but off the wall was a different story.

"Fine, take a break." Adela took out her water a sat against the wall. Mystique sat next to her.

"Let me tell you a story. The place, Berlin, the year, well that's not important, anyway, when I was an agent I went on a mission to obtain a deadly man-made bacterium. When I snuck in to the facility where the bacterium was, 20 men with guns surrounded me. They took away my weapons and put me in hand cuffs."

"What did you do Mami?" Adela asked.

"Well, they didn't know I was a shape-shifter, so I eased my way out the handcuffs and punched two of the guards in the jaw and they fell to the ground." Mystique gets up off the floor." I kicked three guys in the head." She demonstrated the kicks. "I picked a man and threw him across the room knocking out five more guys. I jumped into the air and knocked out three more men. The other seven tried to shot me, but I grabbed one of them to block the bullets with his body."

"You killed him?" Adela asked sadly.

"Nein, Schatz, he had a protective vest on, I'm sure he was all right" Mystique lied. "Back to the story, I dropped to the ground and tripped three more men. The last three had their guns fixated on me, I ran and did a back flip off the wall…" Mystique demonstrated the flip.

"Wimmern!"

"And kicked them in their heads." Mystique finished.

"That is so…" Adela was interrupted by cry coming from the stroller. Week-old Kurt woke up from his nap.

"Mami, I want to be an agent just like you when I grow up. I want to go on adventures in different countries and take down a bunch of guards, too!" Adela said practicing her kicks.

Mystique went over to Kurt and picked him up gently. "You're going to need more years training and experience to get to my level. How about you keep working on that stunt I taught you while I feed your bruderlien."

Present

Kurt and Mystique arrive back to the motel. Mystique lays Adela's unconscious body on her bed. Mystique kneels by the bed and pets her head.

"Ve got her; Ve can go home, now." Kurt celebrated. "I am going to call the Professor!" Kurt picked up the phone.

"No, Kurt, wait!"

Kurt paused. "Vhat is it?"

Mystique bowed head ashamed. "I can't do it." Mystique said in a mere whisper.

"Vhat do you mean you 'you can't do it'!"

"I can't go through with this; I won't turn her over to Xavier."

"I knew it; I knew you would do this! I knew you would just back out at the last minute!" Kurt yelled. "Man, I could be at the mansion spending the last few veeks of summer with my friends or my girlfriend, but I stuck here vith you! Now, you tell me that you don't vant to finish the job! You know I can tell the Professor and he vill send Department of Homeland Security after you, you vould be an open target!"

"Yes, I know and I don't care."

"You don't care? You vere never villing to risk your life for anyone, vhat makes her so special?"

"She's… she's my daughter, Kurt."

Kurt was stunned for a second, but then thought of the possibility that she could be lying to him again. "Just because she is blue doesn't make her…"

"She is my daughter, the one I showed you in the photo album, this is Adela my only biological daughter." Mystique said looking up at Kurt who was growing more frustrated. "Kurt you can go ahead and tell Xavier that I'm quitting this mission. But, I am not going to lose another child to him. I couldn't survive that." Mystique turns her attention back to Adela.

Kurt is amazed by how much she revealed about herself in those few sentences. He looks at the phone in his hands, so much power in such a little device.

For as I known Mystique she never showed this much concern towards Rogue or me. She never risk her life for us, she only caused us problems. He thought, and then he looked back at Mystique petting motionless Adela's short blue hair. Maybe this was my sister, the child Mystique thought had died, and I couldn't betray her simply because she wanted her daughter back. Why shouldn't I she betrayed me so many times. He became aggravated over his mixed emotions and dropped the phone. "Arg!" He shouted.

He turned on his image inducer and opened the door.

Mystique got up off the ground. "Where are you going?"

"Away…I just…I'm going for a walk." Kurt slammed the door.

The clamor caused Adela to stir. She slowly opened her emerald golden eyes. She looked around seeing a white ceiling and white walls. "Wo bin ich?"

Mystique turned around quickly.

"Mami?"

Okay so that kind explains why Adela impersonated Mystique. In the next chapter we find out why Adela is blowing up buildings and who Kurt meets when he is out.

Wo bin ich: Where am I?

I hope you like this chap. If you do review! Ha that rhymes.
