She was leaning back in her car's driver's seat. Her right hand was gripping the steering wheel, while her other was hanging out the window. They were still driving, even though it had been several hours since they had left early that day. Desiree focused on the road, littered with the cars of her new friends. She let out a content sigh and smiled. She was driving towards her new life with the people who cared about her, and who she cared deeply for. She let out another content sigh and switched hands on the steering wheel. Now, she reached over with her right hand and turned up the radio. A song was playing, and she took notice to the lyrics and smiled. How close were they about her life.
Ooh...
Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering)
How it could be now or neither been (or neither been)
All this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
I never had a dream come true
Till that day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where love takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
Somewhere in my memory I lost all sense of time
Amd tomorrow can never be
'Cause yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or neither been (or neither been)
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
I never had a dream come true
Till that day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where love takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will, baby
You'll always be the one I know (I'll never forget)
There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering)
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try
I just can't say goodbye
No no no no
I never had a dream come true
Till that day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where love takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
A part of me will always be with you...
She took another long inhale of air and smiled. While turning the radio down, she passed by Rogue's car on the four lane highway. She turned her head to look out her window and met the smiling face of her brother, who was lunging in the red convertible. Switching hands, now her right hand was holding onto the steering wheel, and her left hand was waving at Remy. He and Rouge waved back. She smiled and soon gripped the wheel with both hands and focused forward on the road.
At a Fast Food stop…
The five vehicles—four cars and one motorcycle—pulled up to a small fast food stop half way into their journey. It had been ten hours since they left Desiree's house at eight in the morning. Now it was now 6 P.M. They parked the cars and stepped out of the cars, and Logan stepped off the bike. They stretched and walked towards the building. As they walked up, a little, blonde 6-year-old boy and his mother walked passed them. The kid stopped and pointed to Desiree's back. He began tugging on his mother's arm. His mother, on the other hand, was talking on her cellphone.
"Mommy, Mommy did you see that girl. She had black colored eyes! Did you see that girl!" he cried out, in amazement. Desiree stopped when she heard that. Soon, the other X-Men stopped and looked back at her.
The mom, who was still trying to hold a conversation with her friend on the other end of the line, replied, "Yeah I did honey, but hush now…Mommy is still talking to her friend…" The boy shut up and continued to walk with his mother. Desiree looked at her friends and her brother.
"Desiree…" Remy began. A small smile flashed on Desiree's face, and she then passed her hand slowly across her eyes. Soon, a pair of black shaded sunglasses appeared. The X-Men gasped, and Remy smirked. "Nice 'shades."
Desiree smirked back, "I know. I am tryin' ta hone ma skills down ta small manipulation. I guess I am getting' better." Logan smirked as well. "Well, let's go get some food…" The other nodded, and they turned and walked inside the fast food stop .
Later on…
The nine mutants were sitting down and eating their meals. There was the booth, the long table, and three seats. Rouge, Remy, and Desiree—in that order going from left to right—sat opposite of the booth, and Hank, Kurt, Storm, Jean, Scott, and Logan—in that order going from left to right—sat in the booth, opposite of the three. There was little chatter between everyone.
Desiree, along with everyone else, was eating her food, when she accidently knocked her drink off the table. She gasped, but Logan quickly reacted and grabbed the drink in mid-air and placed it back on the table.
"Here ya go" he said, smirking. Desiree smirked back and took a sipped from the drink.
"Thanks Logan" she replied. He nodded and went back eating his hamburger. Desiree, on the other hand, picked up a couple of fries, dipped them in ketchup, and ate them.
Remy smirked at what happened, patted his sister on the head, and said, "Klutzy little Desy." Desiree pouted and shook her head. The Ragin' Cajun hand fell off her head, but the smile on his face did not fade.
Back driving…
They were now driving now after the stop at the fast food stop. They were on another empty four-lane highway. The dying rays of the sun were vibrant in the sky, lighting it up with reds, yellows, and oranges. This gold glow reflected off the young, 18-year old faces. But, with the shades she had created, the rays affected her none. Coming on with her journey, Desiree just continued to drive. She was at the rear of their small convoy, but Desiree didn't mind. Her mind was wondering. They were going to stop at a motel, then continue on tomorrow, since it was 6:30. She began to listen to the soft music coming from the radio; then turned it up when a song she had found good was playing. She began to listen along, taking in the song and music.
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
The world is in your hand
But I will fight until the end
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
Don't follow your command
But I will fight and I will stand
When darkness falls
Pain is all
The Angel of Darkness
will leave behind
and I will fight
The love is lost
beauty and light
have vanished from
garden of delight
The dreams are gone
midnight has come
the darkness is our new kingdom
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
The world is in your hand
But I will fight until the end
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
Don't follow your command
But I will fight and I will stand
Hunt goes on
deep in the night
time to pray
down on your knees
you can't hide from the
eternal light
until my last
breath I will fight( I will fight...)
Now realize
the stars they die
darkness has
fallen in paradise
but we'll be strong
and we will fight
against the
creatures of the night
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
The world is in your hand
But I will fight until the end
Angel of darkness
Angel of darkness
Don't follow your command
But I will fight and I will stand
Yeah, yeah
When the song ended, she turned down the radio once more. She glanced over and caught the mirror in the corner of her eye. A pang of guilt, hurt, and sadness pierced his heart. She really didn't want to have 'trapped' her aunt in the mirror, but the other option was death. Something she could not do. Since her aunt was the 'Dream' part of her family, herself being the 'Nightmare', it would prove to balance the powers out. She wished it would have been different.
I wonder what de Other world is… she thought. Desiree's mother had told her a 'fairy tale' story about a mirror with the world of Dreams and Nightmares lived. A world opposite to our own. But what kind of world is dat… Another pang rang inside of her when she thought about her parents. She had murdered dem…fo' what…powers… She let out a sneer, but sighed right afterwards. Now, she was the last of her family. No! I have Remy… she internally corrected herself. Remy was here for her as her brother, and he would always be here. She smiled. She loved her brother dearly. She continued to drive as the last rays of sunlight vanished, and quickly she turned on her headlights.
The convoy of cars pulled slowly up to the Institute and parked in the garage. Yesterday, they had stopped at a motel and stay the night. Then today, they spent most of the day driving. They had arrived around 5 o'clock P.M.
Inside the dimly lit garage, Desiree stepped down from her red truck and stretched her legs. She cracked her neck and shut the car door. While making her way around the front of the truck, she opened the passenger door and pulled out her bags and suitcases. She shut the door and carried the suitcases inside. She passed through the door in the garage and walked through the kitchen-type area. She walked through the kitchen and through an archway into a foyer. Already standing in the foyer were the eight mutants she had come with. She dropped the suitcases, and their attention re-focused to her. Desiree met their gaze, then looked around.
"Where is your Professor?" she asked them. They didn't reply her.
Here I am Desiree… came a voice in Desiree's mind. Her eyes grew, and she whirled around trying to find him.
Who are ya? How is dat I can here ya? she asked mentally. A chuckle rang in her mind. She continued to look around, till her eyes stopped at a man in a wheelchair roll up and stopped in front of the X-Men.
"Greetings Professor" the eight mutants greeted in unison. Desiree cocked an eyebrow.
"De Professor?" she uncertainly muttered. The man in the chair looked at her and smiled.
"Yes Miss Desiree, I am the Professor. Professor Xavier." He rolled up and stuck out a hand. She looked at the hand; then up to the man's face. A small smile formed, and she nodded and shook his hand. She then let go and asked, "Telepathic?" she asked. Now, the Professor nodded.
"Yes, and you can see nightmares and fears and also create illusions?" he asked her. She nodded her head. He then clapped his hands together and continued, "Well, it is wonderful that you are going to stay here Desiree," he looked off towards Remy, "and Gambit will show you to your room. Gambit?" Remy looked at the Professor and nodded. The Cajun walked over and stood next to Desiree. He looked down at her and smirked. She looked up and smirked as well.
"Let's go get your stuff put up in your room Desi." he said to her and smiled boarder. She nodded and picked up her suitcases, and both of the Cajuns walked towards the staircase and walked up it. They turned left and headed towards the rooms. The Professor smiled as they left.
Storm walked up and stood next to the Professor, and he said to her, "I think young Desiree will be a great X-Men. Do you think so Ororo?"
Ororo nodded and replied, "As do I Professor, as do I."
Later that night in the X-Men underground HeadQuarters…
She stood before the nine mutants, who stood together in a horizontal line. She held her hands behind her back, and a smirk was on her face. An identical smirk was plastered on her adoptive brother face.
Her outfit was a black, spandex, spaghetti shirt that tied around her neck. A shoulder cloak hung and covered her right arm, the same arm which, if you remove the over cloak, would be all black. Around her waist and buckled in the middle with the X-Men 'X', was a black belt which held her black pants up. Her pants were puffy and stuck into her knee-high, black high-heel boots.
Then the Professor wheeled up and stopped in front of her. Then he addressed her.
"Desiree Louise LeBeau Beaureguard, do you wish to join the X-Men? To fight for mutant against those who follow injustice? To fight for justice and peace?" Professor Xavier asked her.
Desire, who was dressed in her own X-Men outfit nodded and replied, "I do. I will fight fo' de justice of others an' fight against those who dare oppose it. I wish ta be an X-Men."
The Professor smiled and then asked, "Good. And now, since you are an X-Men, what will your X-Men name be?"
A smirked formed across her lips, and the words 'Le Nightmare' came out. The Professor nodded.
"Welcome to the team 'Le Nightmare'" he greeted, and the other X-Men repeated the same phrase.
Desiree nodded, smiled, and replied, "Good ta be a part of de team Professor." A small, but warm smiled dance across Gambit's face as his adoptive sister join the X-Men.
It was late at night, and most of the stars were out. The young, black-haired mutant sat on the roof of the Institute. Her hair was down and swirled when an occasionally breeze wander by. Her legs were drawn up to her chest. She was wearing a large black tee-shirt and black pajama pants. Bare feet reflected the glow of the full moon. Black-colored eyes were closed, and she inhaled deeply and exhaled in a slow rhythm.
"Des..iree…" came a thick Cajun voice from behind her, and without opening her eyes, she replied, "Yeah Remy…" Footsteps began louder, and soon she felt someone sit next to her. She opened her eyes and glanced to her left to see her brother sitting next to her.
Remy was wearing a plain white shirt and sky blue pajama pants. He glanced at her too, and a small, sincere smile formed. A small smile formed on her lips too.
"What brought ya out here Remy?" she asked him, looking forward now.
"Just checking up on ya. Ya are my little sister Desiree…" he replied her, as well as putting his arm around her shoulders. She then rested her head on the side of his chest. She closed her eyes and smiled.
"Well, that is nice of ya."
Remy chuckled, looked down at the top of her head, and replied, "I know." He then rested his chin on the top of her head. "I love ya sis. Forever and always." Remy then also closed his black and red eyes like his sister.
There was a paused, then the young girl replied, "I love ya too brotha. Always and forever."
"We are family…" he began.
"…and we will always be family. Together forever" she ended. He squeezed her shoulder, and she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. And, in the dark night, a brother and sister sat together. Finally together once more.
