Chapter 13: Bobby's home and family.

Chelbell2016:

OK another chapter for you. Can people please tell me what they think.

*Daughter of Wolverine*

Claire's POV:

We arrive at Bobby's parents house. Bobby uses the hide a door key and unlocks it. All six of us enter.

"Mum, dad," Bobby says hoping that his parents are home. "Ronny is anyone home?"

We look around but there seems to be no one here but us. Bobby turns and looks at all of us.

"I'll try and find us some clothes," he says glancing at John who keeps flipping his lighter open and close. "Don't burn anything."

Dad gives me a small smile as he goes into the kitchen. Charlene goes to follow him. He ignores her though so she stops. She tries to look at me but I avoid eye contact.

I go and wait in the bathroom. I hear the door open and I turn but it isn't Rogue or Bobby. It's Charlene.

"Bobby gave me these to give to you," she tells me. "Apparently there his mothers. They should fit you."

I nod but don't say anything. She passes me a sleeveless blue plaid shirt and dark Grey skinny jeans. I don't no where to start with her. She turns around as I get dressed. When I am done I pull my hair into a ponytail.

"Can we talk?" I hear her ask from behind me.

I sigh as I turn to see her watching me.

"What's there to talk about?" I ask her. "You knew I would find out and you left me."

I then walk out of the bathroom. I walk downstairs and so do the others. Bobby's parents and brother are right at the bottom staring at my dad.

Bobby is stood in front of the two and Rogue is in front of us.

"Honey, aren't you supposed to be at school?" Bobby's mother asks clearly confused.

"Bobby, who is this guy?" his father asks while looking at my own dad.

"This is professor Logan," Bobby says and I have to fight a laugh at the thought of my dad being a professor. "Theres something I need to tell you."

Bobby, his parents, his brother and Rogue are all sat on chairs. Me and my dad are leaning against the wall. John is sitting on a chair arm and Charlene is at the opposite wall from me and dad. She doesnt take her eyes off of the two of us.

Bobby's parents are shocked at the revelation that their son is a mutant. His brother looks a little annoyed and angry at the same time. John is still flipping his lighter open and closed.

"So..." Bobby's mum begins obviously feeling a little uncomfortable. "When did you first know you were a..."

She pauses so John decides to butt in. "A mutant."

Bobby's mum tries to be patient as she glances at John and his lighter.

"Would you cut that out?" She asks him a little annoyed.

John doesnt say anything. He continues to stare at the woman as he closes the lighter once more. Bobby's dad decides to speak up.

"You have to understand," he says as he glances at my dad and Charlene. "We thought Bobby was going to a school for the gifted."

Rogue decides to defend her boyfriend who looks a little upset now.

"Bobby is gifted," she tells them.

"We know that," Bobby's dad defends. "It's just that-"

Bobby's mum cuts him off.

"We still love you Bobby," she tells her son. "Its just this mutant problem."

Charlene cuts her off angrily.

"What mutant problem?" She asks.

The woman just gives her a scathing look for cutting her off.

"Complicated," she finishes still staring at Charlene.

"What exactly are you a professor of Mr. Logan?" Bobby's dad asks accusingly.

"Art!" My dad answers bluntly.

Both Charlene and I chuckle uncontrollably.

"Well you should see what Bobby can do," Rogue says.

Bobby leans forward and places the tip of his index finger on his mothers cup. Her hot cup of tea instantly becomes a block of ice. Ronny watches from beside his mother.

"Bobby," his mother says.

She tips the now frozen tea out onto the plate.

"I can do a lot more than that," Bobby says hoping to impress his parents.

His mum places the plate down. A gray cat jumps up onto the glass table and begins to lick the frozen tea. John laughs and I give him a dirty look.

Ronny sighs deeply. He then jumps up off of the Sofa and runs upstairs.

"Ronny?" Bobby's mother hopes to bring him back. "This is all my fault."

I feel really sorry for Bobby up to this point. He looks crestfallen. John has to make it worse like he usually does.

"Actually they discovered that males are the ones who carry the mutant jean and pass it on," he says pointing at Bobby's dad. "So... its his fault."

I am about to sock John but dad grips my elbow and shakes his head.

*Daughter of the Wolverine*

There is a sudden ringing from beside me. I look at my dad but he doesn't seem to notice.

"Uh, dad?" I say and he finally realises the noise.

"Oh," he says and he pulls out the communication device that he got from Cyclops device. "It's for me."

He leaves the room and Charlene goes to follow him.

"He can handle it," I say to her and she frowns at my tone.

"Bobby," Bobby turns back to his own mother as she begins to speak once more. "Have you tried not being a mutant?"

I frown now. That was low. Charlene shakes her head as I go to say something. I turn as dad goes to come back in. But then we both freeze. I can hear footsteps again.

I stand straight as my dad comes into the room.

"We have to go now!" Dad says.

Charlene glances from him to me.

"Why?" Rogue asks as her and Bobby look around.

"NOW!" Dad orders.

"Logan what's wrong?" Charlene asks as she approaches him.

He gives her a look that says theres no time. We all head outside to see a bunch of cops in the garden. Dad and Charlene stand in front of the rest of us. The cops are pointing guns at us.

Rogue stands next to me practically shaking in fear.

"Drop the knives," the cop says to my dad who has his claws out. "And put your hands in the air."

We see that there is two cops one on either side of us. They also have their guns pointed at us. Charlene holds her hand up to try and stop them.

"What's going on here?" Dad asks.

"Ronny," Bobby realises that his brother is responsible for this.

The police officer addresses dad once more.

"I said drop the knives!" He says to my dad.

We hear glass smashing and I look back to see officers breaking though the back windows. Charlene looks at my dad and he gives her a reassuring look.

"This is just a misunderstanding," he says as he looks at all the cops once more.

"Put the knives down!" The officer orders.

"I can't!" Dad tries to explain as he raises his hands into the air. "Look!"

He goes to retract his claws to show he means no harm. But then he is shot in the head. I scream as he hits the floor. Charlene stops me from moving towards the police officer that shot him.

Even though I know my dad will be okay I worry for him. The officer then turns to all of us still standing.

"All right the rest of you on the ground now!" He says and I notice that he is shaking.

Everyone of us get down. Except for John.

"Look kid I said on the ground," the officer tries again.

I stare at my dad frozen in shock as he still isn't moving.

"We don't want to hurt you kid," one of the women police officers say.

I glance at John as I practically beg that he doesnt try anything stupid. John breathes heavily.

"You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about on the news," John says and I give him a look.

"John don't!" Charlene orders him as she holds me down.

John ignores her. He flicks his lighter open and glances at the officers.

"I'm the worst one!" He tells them.

He begins firing at all of the officers. My mum raises her hand and tries to stop him. He fires at the two officers closest to us. I get up and reach for him. he just gently pushes me away. He then sends it back into the house.

As he sets the cars on fire I look to Rogue. She nods and begins to take off her glove. Charlene turns to me.

"Give me your hand!" She says and when I give her a skeptical look. "Trust me! Together we can put out the fires quicker!"

I decide to give her the benefit of the doubt. I take her hand, as Rogue clasps Johns ankle and takes control of his power.

Charlene closes her eyes and holds her hand out. Huge jets of water go flying at the flames and put them out. I can feel our adjoining powers working together. So I hold my hand out and it works the same way. Together we put them out.

Rogue releases John as they are all put out. Then I see my dad open his eyes.

Not a moment later the X men plane appears. Storm and Jean are obviously the ones driving it. It gently sets down in the yard. All of us get to our feet and I release Charlene's hand. Dad looks around at all the fires and then gives John a dirty look.

We all run towards the plane. Charlene glances at me and I know why. With the lack of sleep I've had lately using my powers takes a toll on my body. I feel a little drained as we all board the plane. Storm and Jean give Charlene a questioning look but they don't say anything right now. There is no time.

As I go to sit down across from Charlene I notice a blue man sat in one of the chairs.

"Who the hell is this?" Dad asks as he sits down.

"Kurt Wagner," the man answers. "But in the Munich circus I was known as the incredible night-crawler."

He tries to continue but dad cuts him off.

"Save it!" He says and I see Kurts look of hurt. "Storm?"

Storm nods as she starts the plane up. "We're out of here."

*Daughter of Wolverine*

A few minutes later and were in the air. Jean is still looking at Charlene weirdly. I decide to help her.

"Storm, Jean," I say and they both nod their heads to show their listening. "This is Charlene Xavier."

Everyone who didn't know her looks shocked. Jean gives me a small smile as I don't say who she is to me.

"Nice to meet you both," Charlene says to them. "Call me Sprite."

They both return the greeting.

Once were high up enough dad unbuckles himself and walks up to Jean and Storm.

"How far are we?" He asks Jean as he stands behind her seat.

Jean smiles as she turns to him.

"We're actually coming up on the mansion now," she tells him.

He doesn't comment anymore but I hear a sudden beeping. Storm looks at the source.

"I've got two signals approaching," she says and Charlene looks at her. "Coming in fast."

A sudden voice comes through the communications.

"Unidentified aircraft you are ordered to descend to 20,000 feet," a womans voice orders. "Return with our escort to Hanscom air force base. You have ten seconds to comply."

Storm begins to worry.

"Wow. Somebody's angry," she says as the message ends.

"I wonder why," Dad says.

He glances at John who gives him a innocent look in return.

"We are coming up alongside you to escort you to Hanscom air force base," the woman says again. "Lower your altitude now."

We can now see two jets on either side of us.

"Repeat!" The woman says who is in the plane on our left. "Lower your altitude to 20,000 feet. This is your last warning."

They then begin to pull back.

"They're pulling back," Charlene says worried.

But then there is a frantic beeping. It isn't good.

"They're marking us!" Storm says.

"What?" Dad asks as Jean looks shocked.

"They're gonna fire!" Storm says before looking back at the rest of us. "Hang on!"

Everyone tries to put on their seat-belts but I notice that Rogues is broken so I get ready to grab her. So I don't put my own on. Dad struggles to get back to his seat but he does.

"I gotta shake em!" Storm says.

The plane does a sudden flip in the air and I now feel sick.

"Please don't do that again," John says from besides Jean.

"I agree," dad says looking annoyed. "Don't we have any weapons in this heap?"

Storm uses her own powers as weapons. This provides us with some cover and they are soon no where on the radar or in sight. Then the sky clears up.

"Everybody okay back there?" Jean asks turning around.

"No!" I say still feeling sick.

But then the beeping starts again. There are rockets heading towards us.

"Oh my god!" Storm says as she looks at the radar. "There's three of them!"

My eyes widen. I watch as Jean concentrates and destroys one. I close my eyes and hold my head When I open the everyone is watching me as I glow purple. I then get the second one destroyed.

"There's one more!" Storm says to the two of us.

I hold my head more as I try.

"Wildcat?" Charlene says noticing my struggle.

Then the purple glow is gone. I slump against my seats.

"Jean?" Storm asks hoping for her to do something. "Claire?"

I know that Jean is trying and so am I.

"Oh god," I hear Jean say and I know that we are in big trouble.

Then there is a huge explosion behind us. Everyone is shocked that the rocket hit. I feel guilty. Then I see Rogue about to go out of it and I grip her wrist.

Without my strength I lose my grip and we both go flying out of the plane. As Rogue screams I try to float us back up. But I am out of energy and strength. Then there is a blue puff of smoke. Another puff and we are back in the plane. Kurt had brought us back in.

We are going down. I see Charlene floating above me and I give her a look. Dad looks at me as well and I can tell that he was scared of what happened. He had nearly lost me.

I am shocked when I look up and see the plane closing itself up. Then the plane begins to right itself.

"Jean?" Storm asks thinking that it is her.

"Its not me," Jean informs her. "Claire?"

"It isn't me either," I tell them weakly.

Then we suddenly stop. Charlene takes my hand and pulls me up so I am floating beside her. When we see who stopped the plane Charlene gasps and I feel my temper rising.

Magneto!
