Sins of the Son and Uprising.

Angela was tossing and turning in her sleep. She felt that someone was calling her. "Please someone help me. He's taken over me I need your help daughter."

"Huh huh. Man what was that all about? That sounded like Dad. But that can't be. Huh. What is that?" Angela focused her mind listening to the thoughts of mansion occupants. Suddenly one thought came through loud and clear. The Professor had gotten a phone call that had shaken him.

"I need to go with him and the others to Scotland. Time to call in that favor from Rebel." She thought.

The next morning as everyone was getting ready for school Angela whispered her plan to Rebel. "We need to fake were sick. I can make my body temperature rise so I have a fever. If you absorb my powers then you can fake to. Will have just enough time to sneak onto the Blackbird. Now lets do it."

When Beast came to check why it was taking so long for those two to get ready he found them in bed with a fever of 102. "No school today for you two. Now stay in bed while I call the school. I'll be back with some medicine later."

The minuet he left the two of them they snuck onto the jet. To make sure he didn't bother them Angela melted the lock on both their doors. Angela used her telepathy to hide from the Professor power. "Now we have to talk. You dragged me into this without telling me what is going on. Now I deserve some answers and it's a long flight to Scotland." Rebel demanded.

"I do owe you an explanation. I can give you some of the answers but not all of them. Not now anyways it's to complicate. Anyways when we do my plan you'll learn everything. I'm surprised do you don't already know you did absorb me." Angela questioned.

"I only absorbed a minimal dose of your powers and your surface thoughts. All I got was concern for some person named David Haller. What's the whole story?"

"Lets just say for now that this David is very important to me. He's going through a difficult transition right now and if Professor X tries to help him he will just make it worse. I'm the only one who can face Legion and win."

The rest of the flight was conducted in silence. They listened while the Professor explained about his past. The landing was rough. They waited for everyone to leave before they exited the plane.

"Okay now that were here what do we do?" Rebel asked. She was tapping her foot impatiently

"The first thing we need to do is learn about the situation. You head up to the castle. You look the part of the kids who hang out there. I have a bad feeling something going on there. I'll stay here and learn what I can. Meet up with you later." Angela told Rebel.

Rebel headed up to the castle. She was wearing all black and her make up was heavy. There was a huge rave going on when she got there. It was all teenagers and twenty years old partying. "Great how am I supposed to learn anything." She wondered

"Hello little girl what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?" a tall gothic boy asked. He had a blond hair and blue eyes. He looked like he was in charge

"I don't do school. It's not cool. I prefer the wild life style. Were my manners? I'm Rebel and you are?"

"Lucas. I'm the head of this gang. I like you. You may be young but you know what you want. Stick with me kid. I'll show you the ropes." Lucas told her guiding her deeper into Belleview Castle.

"Tell me about yourself. What's you home life like?"

"Don't ask. My mom is such a goody two shoes who doesn't understand me. She thinks this is a phase. My dad is never around. I hate him. What about you?" Rebel asked. She had her mental shields up. She had a feeling he was a mutant.

"My life is basically the same. You and me Rebel are lot of like. We both hate school, love partying, both Goths and family is bad. I think we could help a each other a lot. Can I trust you?"

"Lucas baby I do anything for you. You are my master." Rebel laid it on thick.

"Good. You see I have a prisoner in the dungeon. Some very important people are going to come for him. I believe you know what mutants are considering you are one. I knew the minuet I saw you because I'm one too. I have three powers. Pryokineces, telepathy, and telekinetic. What are your powers my dear?" Lucas asked

"My powers are absorption and kinetic energy. I can charge stuff to make them blow up. I'm a good mutant to have on your side." Rebel told him

"Then go over to the stairs and make sure no one goes down there but me got it Rebel?"

"Understood Lucas." Rebels walked over to the staircase and decide to give Angela a call.

"This is Rebel calling Angela come in Angela."

"This is Angela what have you discovered?"

"Well I've gained the trust of the gang leader here. His name is Lucas and he's a mutant like us. I believe he's holding David captive down in the dungeon but I can't be sure. I'm going to stick around a little more and see what pans out. How are things going back at the house?" Rebel asked

"Not good. I haven't made any progress yet. All I been able to determine is when David disappeared. I'm going to check out his room next. Call you later and be careful. Angela out."

Angela flew up to David's room and melted the lock on the window. She let herself in and started to look around. The room was very non descriptive. There was nothing to show the personality of the person who lived here. Angela walked over to a shelf a picked up a photo. It was of David and Gabriella at a picnic. Like most telepaths Angela was a partial touch telepath. She got a stronger mental reading and hold when she touched something of someone's.

"There must be a clue somewhere that can help me. Huh what's this?" Angela said as she pulled out a thin notebook from behind the pillow. It was a journal. Sitting cross-legged on the bed she began to read the entries

"July 8th 2004. It's happening again and I can't explain it. I was cleaning my room and was wishing that everything were in its place when all my possessions started flying around the room. I was moving them with my mind it was way cool. Could this be a mutant power? Am I a mutant like my dad?"

"July 16th 2004. My plan will soon come to be. That idiot has no idea I exist. He blames his black outs on exhaustion hah! Soon I will be rid of him and my plan to rule the world will be a reality. I just need to bide my time and make sure my pyrokineces is in full power when the time comes to take on Daddy dearest."

"August 16 2004. School starts tomorrow but I'm not going. We have moved to Scotland, which is vital in Lucas plan to destroy David. I'm proud to be of help. My telepathy is invaluable. Its what' s making sure that Father doesn't find out what's going on till it's too late. By tomorrow Lucas will be free and David dead."

"August 16 2004. It happening again and more frequently than before. I lose consciousness and hours pass sometimes days and I don't know what's going on. I fear for my very life. I wish I knew what that dream meant. The one with the flame haired girl saving me from a monster was all about. Hopefully I'll learn soon."

"This entry was made last night. I notice not all the handwriting matches. David must suffer from multiple personality disorder. Each power represents a different side. I better call Rebel with the news. Rebel come in this is Angela over" Angel spoke softly into her watch

"Rebel here. Talk fast Lucas is coming." Rebel whispered franticly

"Keep Lucas in your sight at all times. He's dangerous. I think I've discovered a way to beat him. I'll meet you at the castle soon. Later." Angela reported before she signed off.

"Hey Rebel enjoying your duty?" Lucas asked lazily.

"Its boring man. I need action. Something worthy of my talents." Rebel told him playfully

"Well look over there? You see the kid with the shades? I need you to knock him out then chain him up. Can you do that for me?" Lucas asked

"Does a Goth were make up? Your wish is my command." Rebel slunk off to attack Scott.

Scott had come to the castle in search of clues to help located David. He was very surprised by the Professor personal life. He had never once suspected he'd been married. He was so absorbed in his thoughts he didn't notice Rebel till she was right on top of him.

"Hello Scott. Fancy meeting you here."

"Rebel what in blue blazes are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?" Scott asked in surprised

"School is for nerds and I'm not one. Now if you excuse me I have to take you out." Rebel told him while she removed a glove from her hand and absorbed him before he could protest.

"Excellent job Rebel. Keep it up and I see big things in your future." Lucas told his little apprentice as he dragged Scott away.

He still had no idea Rebel was playing him.

Back at the house Angela was tuning her thoughts into the conversation going on between the Professor and Gabriella. They seemed to be opening up old wounds.

'Gabriella I don't understand. Why didn't you tell me about David? I had the right to know."

"What makes you think you have any right to be a part of his life? All you care about is yourself. That's all our marriage was. You never had time for me. It was always your students, your school, your everything but me. When I left I knew you never care enough about David to be his father." Gabriella cried

"If you didn't tell me how does he know about me? Why did you tell him? What gives him the right to know but not me?" The Professor asked as calmly as he could.

"He's my son dammit! He asked all the time when he was young so I finally had no choice but to tell him. Charles you don't understand what pressures I'm under. David hasn't been acting like himself for weeks now. I'm worried about him. If the kidnapper hadn't called for you I wouldn't have gotten you involved. You may be his father biologically but other wise your not his father at all." Gabriella told him coldly.

"Gabriella please, I admit I may have been obsessed with my dream and forgotten about you but I still want to be your friend. Please don't deny me the chance to get to know David." Charles pleaded

"Perhaps you are right. I am glad to see you. I should have told you about our son sooner. Right now I just want him returned safe and sound." Gabriella told her ex husband.

"Charles! Ms. Haller! We have an emergency!" Ororo shouted as she ran into the room. She hurriedly tried to catch her breath.

"What's wrong Ororo? Where are Scott and Jean?" The Professor asked concern hidden in his voice.

"I don't know Charles. All I know is that they followed that little boy Ian up to the Belleview Castle and never came back. We have to go there right now to see what happen to them." Ororo told the two of them deeply worried.

"I'll get the car. Come on lets go." Gabriella told the two of them as she shooed them out of the house.

"Angela to Rebel come in Rebel." Angela whispered into her watch

"Rebel here. What's up?" Rebel replied flippy

"Did Scott or Jean come up to the castle by any chance?" Angela asked

"Yeah both of them where here. Scott chained to the wall and Jean's down in the dungeon. Lucas has also disappeared. What do you want me to do?" Rebel asked

"Get into position. I'll be there shortly. Angela out." Angela grabbed the photo and held it tight. "For you I do anything David. Firelight!" Angela changed into Firelight and flew off towards the castle.

When she arrived there she saw that the rave that had been going on had stopped. All the kids were staring at a boy with short tidy blond hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in a blue button down shirt and brown slacks. Jean, Scott, and Storm were standing off to the side. Gabriella Haller and Professor X were talking with the boy. Rebel was hidden of to the side ready for action. Suddenly David became Lucas and started to fight them. The Professor moved in to act. Now it was time for her plan.

"Professor don't!" Firelight shouted. Lucas and the Professor looked up as she sent a wall of flames up to separate the two. "Jean get the Professor out of there now! Don't question me!" Firelight shouted mentally. Jean surprised by Firelight appearance did as she was commanded and pulled the Professor back towards her. Storm and Scott surrounded him to protect him.

"No! I won't be denied my victory!" Lucas shouted

"Back off Lucas if you want to the Professor you have to go through me first to get to him." Firelight said landing between him and the Professor.

Lucas laughed harshly. "If a fights what you want then that's what you're going to get!" Shouting. His gothic attire changed into a black body suit with blue gloves, shoulders, and boots. "Firelight meet your match. I'm Legion." He said taking to the air with his TK.

In the air they battled. Both using their firepower on one another. He tried using TK to bring her down but she resisted and sent a psychic wave at him. Cringing in pain he sent a stronger wave at her knocking her to the ground.

"Your finished Firelight. What ever gave you the hope you could defeat me? You must tell me." Legion demand as he strutted over to her.

"For the worlds second greatest telepath you sure aren't bright. If you were as strong a telepath as you say you are you would know I already have this one in the bag. I'm the third strongest telepath in the world can you guess why Legion." Firelight taunted as she got up.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. No one can stop me not even my own father." Legion said but he didn't sound quiet as confident as before.

"That's because he doesn't share a bond with you like I do. Admit you know the truth. Fine if you won't I will. Because I won't let you win Lucas. I won't let you walk away and murder seven collage girls and make David life a living hell." Firelight continued unphased by Legion who wasn't looking so hot.

"I command you to shut up right now!" He shouted as he sent a wall of fire at her. Firelight countered it with one of her own. She was pissed big time. Her eyes were glowing. Flames surrounded her entire body.

"No I won't. You can't defeat me for one reason. My real name is Angela Xavier Haller! Daughter of Angelica Jones a.k.a. Fire star and David Haller a.k.a. Legion. The granddaughter of Professor Charles Xavier!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.

Behind her she could here gasp of amazement but now wasn't the time. Touching the photo of David with one hand she grabbed Legion with her other and formed a mind link. Going into the depth of his mind she locked away Ian pulling David into her knowing Lucas was hiding behind his image.

She broke the connection with him there. Legion fell to the ground reverting back to David. Using all her mental powers she called out to the others to lend her their strength so she could weaken Lucas.

"Rebel I need you now! Absorb me and him before he can hop back into David." Firelight shouted

"If I hold on to long I could permently absorb you. Are you sure?" Rebel asked

"Yes do it now!"

Rebel placed a hand on Firelights face and began to absorb her. It hurt like hell but she held on almost to the two-minuet mark. She broke contact just in time. She then beat Lucas down before the Professor wiped her of all her personalities. Finally Lucas was gone for good. Rebel collapsed to the ground joining her friend in a state of unconcunis.

Storm rushed over and picked up Rebel while Jean got Angela. David stirred and Scott lent him a hand up. "Hey you okay?"

"Fine. For the first time in a long while I feel like me. Mom!" David ran into his mother's outstretched arms and gave her a big hug. "Is it over? Am I finally me again?" David asked

"I believe you are David. Angela and Rebel here seem to have successfully removed the dangerous persona without any chance of him returning." The Professor told David

David turned to look at Angela. She looked exactly like the girl in his dreams. He had no doubt in his mind that she was telling the truth when she revealed her parentage. "Is she alright? I mean what she did was dangerous. Is she going to be okay?"

"I believe so. Rebel broke contact two seconds before Angela became permanently part of her. Angela should be waking up soon." The Professor told him. As he finished speaking Rebel stirred. Storm put her down.

"You have a lot of explaining to do child." Storm said patiently.

"I know I do. Professor I'm sorry we skipped school again, but nothing short of nuclear warfare was going to stop Angela in her mission to save her father." Rebel told everyone

The Professor nodded indicating that she should continue with her story.

"In our time Legion had once been a psychopath killer who killed to show his superiority to everyone with his powers. He killed seven collage girls and would have continued killing had he not fallen in love with victim number eight. The beautiful Angelica Jones. With her help David was able to regain control. He faced criminal charges but wasn't convicted on the grounds he was insane at the time he did them and that it was another personality. David married Angelica and joined the X-men to redeem himself. When Angela was born he was so happy until her second birthday when her powers emerged. The minuet he found out about her telepathy he restricted her to the mansion grounds and school. She had never been anywhere else until she came here. Professor if you had tried to help David you would have ensured Lucas victory. That's why she came here and did what she did. To save her father from a horrible fate and maybe improve her life in the long run. This was important to her because the last thing she said to her father was she hated him when she loves him. Here watch this." Rebel concluded with a data disk showing what had happened and what the change had done to the time stream.

The Professor looked at his newly found granddaughter with new respect. She had risked it all to save one person she loved. Angela came to and ran instantly over to David and hugged him tightly. David returned the embrace thanking her for all she did.

"I hate to cut this reunion short but we have to return home. David I hope to see you again. Perhaps you could visit me sometime?"

"Yeah I like that. Also I think I'll give you a call once in awhile to chat with you Dad." David said

The Professor smiled knowing in his heart this was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

In was a few nights later. Underneath the city of Bayville lived a group of mutants known as the Morlocks. Among the mutants lived a fifteen-year-old human girl named Sylvia Simons.

Sylvia was waiting underneath a manhole cover for Lucid to return with food. She would have gone for food but he insisted that it was his turn. She was also worried for another reason. Her boyfriend Spyke was being Lucid back up.

Suddenly the two of them return in huff. Lucid looked extremely scared. His reptilian eyes were wide with fear. "Lucid! Is everything all right? Did you get the food?" Sylvia asked. Although she wasn't a mutant she had developed empathic abilities and Lucid's emotions were making her scared.

"Nothing is wrong Sylvia. Some topsiders were going to harm me when Spyke saved me. You don't have to worry. Come lets go share our feast with the others." Lucid persuade her gently

After dinner, which consisted mostly of fries, Callisto and Sylvia had another chat with Spyke. "You were seen again. How many times have I warned you not to upset the topsiders? If they get angry they'll come looking for us and then we will be in trouble." Callisto told the newest member of their little family.

"Please Evan stop this crusade of yours. In the end only trouble can come of it. I want things to be the way they were before you started acting like this." Sylvia pleaded

"Back off the both of you. I know what I'm doing. If I don't stick up for us who will? We can't spend the rest of our lives acting like cowards. Besides why do you care Sylvia none of this effects you." Evan told them both before storming off to his tent.

"He didn't mean that Sylvia. You are a part of this family even if you are human. Why don't you go watch some T.V. okay?" Callisto told her adopted daughter.

Nodding Sylvia ran off with tears in her eyes. Evan had never talked to her like that. It hurt her a lot. Callisto looked at her as she went inside her tent and sighed.

"Is something wrong Callisto? You seem unhappy tonight." Calliban observed

"Calliban did I make a mistake taking Sylvia in? I mean I can understand Evan joining us but did I do the right thing keeping her with us?" Callisto asked her pale friend

"You did what you thought was right. I may have objected but I see that Sylvia has grown up to be a smart young girl. She is the best big sister in the world to Torpid and good friends with Façade and Lucid. She will tame Evan eventually give her time." Calliban replied

The next night things hadn't improved at all. Evan had once again left the safety as the sewers to go fight the topsiders. Sylvia followed concerned. Last night on T.V. she watched Apocalypse take over another pyramid this time in China. Attacking it had left nothing but defestation in its wake.

"Evan please come home. You shouldn't be on the streets. Callisto told you not to go topside." Sylvia told him

"Get out of my way Sylvia. I love you but that jerk Jean use to date Duncan Matthews is attacking my friends! I have to go help them now get out of my way!" Evan pushed past her and attacked Duncan crew. Amara and Sam were surprised to see Evan. They had to tell the Professor.

That's why two hours later Wolverine paid a visit. He was trying to talk to Evan out of his vigilante ways, but Evan insisted that mutants shouldn't have to hide or be treated the way they were.

"Logan my ancestors fought for civil rights in the 1960s. I'm going to fight for mutant rights now! If you excuse me I have a little shopping to do." Evan told Logan as he left.

Wolverine turned to leave when he stopped. He smelled a human, which surprised him. "Please don't leave Mr. Logan. I must apologize for Evan behavior he has not been himself lately. I fear that if he doesn't stop what he's doing soon the Morlocks will all be in danger." Sylvia told Logan

"You must be Porcupine's girlfriend. Brought someone you might want to see." Logan stepped back to reveal Lancer.

"Mom! It's so good to see you again. I came as soon as heard Evan power evolved. Is there anything we can do to stop him?" Lancer said as Sylvia squashed him.

"I don't know Lancelot I just don't know. But thanks for coming you too Mr. Logan. I guess its up to me and Lancelot here to stop him."

"Lancelot?" Logan asked confused

"My full name. No one calls me that but my mom." Lancer told him. "Logan I have to go with Sylvia right now. One of can talk some sense into Evan. I'll see you back at the mansion."

They caught up with Evan just outside a grocery store. It seems he had saved mother and son from some mutant haters. Anger filled Sylvia mind and it wasn't other people's it was her own.

"Why are people so ignorant? Mutants raised me all my life. They are not the enemy!" Sylvia cried out in frustration

"Chill Sylvia. You know humans see and hear what they want hear and see. Humans are afraid of the unknown and what they fear they seek to destroy it. It's just the way things are. Now come on. I have a bad feeling things are just going to get worse." Lancer told his companion.

They caught up with Evan just as he was about to continue with his crusade for mutant rights. He was not pleased to see them. He was angry with them. "Why do you keep following me? I told you to back off!" He shouted. Turning away he was surprised when Sylvia grabbed his arm.

"No Evan you are going to stop now. I know your angry with the way mutants are treated but doing what your doing isn't going to help mutants get civil rights. Don't you realize the more you attack the more the human race will view mutants as monsters?" Sylvia pleaded

"Why do you care? You're not even a mutant! Your father is one of the city's richest man in the world! You could go to the best private schools, the best cloths, anything your heart desired! Why do you live in the stinking sewers with a bunch of freaks?" Evan demanded

"Evan would you use your head for once? My father was like most humans. He was afraid of my mother and her gift because he didn't understand it. He ordered to leave but my mom forgave him. It took me a long time to forgive him but I did. Evan I wish the world was filled with people like my father who could learn to understand the unknown but it's not like that. People view mutants as monsters because of the violence associate with them. Evan if you keep using violence then your continuing the violence and the horrors of the human race." Sylvia told her boyfriend

"Then what should I do. What about Lancer? I don't want him to be born into a world were he has to hide in sewers or be feared." Evan told her

" I want that to Evan. A world where our son is safe and happy but this is not the way. Your violence has only intensified the situation in China with Apocalypse. If you won't give up this crusade for me will you do it for our son?" Sylvia asked placing her hands on Lancer shoulders.

Bending down Evan carefully gave his son a big hug. "I'm sorry Lancer. I should've listen to Logan and the others."

"That's okay Evan. Where all boneheaded once in awhile. I love you. Sylvia join us will you?" Lancer asked his mother.

The three of them had there little reunion. Suddenly Lancer heard a Jeep's engine roaring and automatic firearms firing. The three of them parted in surprise and watched in horror as Duncan Matthews and three of his friends came roaring down the street throwing mines. "Get down!" Lancer shouted as the first bomb went off.

"Where are you Danielle's? I want payback! Come out where ever your hiding you little freak. Let all those who side with Evan be destroyed!" Duncan shouted while he fired off a round. He had lost his marbles.

"We have to stop him now! There are innocent people on the streets who could get shot!" Sylvia cried out in horror. She watched in complete dismay as a homeless man nearly got capped.

"Your right Sylvia he has to be stopped. Listen here's the plan. Sylvia get the innocent bystanders out of here then call the police. Don't come back here I don't want you to get hurt. Lancer calls the Professor and get backup then join me. I'm going to try to stop Duncan and his buddies out." Evan told his family

"Be careful Evan. I don't want to lose your." Sylvia gave him a quick kiss before disappearing to help the homeless and innocent victims. Lancer was already calling for back up. "Lets go."

"Duncan you want me come and get me but leave these people alone there innocent!" Evan shouted

"No way Danielle's. Every one of them has to pay for what you did! Get him and the kid there both mutants!" Duncan ordered his goons "Don't let these new arrivals stop you. Kill them all!"

Evan spared a glance over his shoulder to see that the Morlocks had come to help him and Lancer. "Time to be Spyke!" he thought as he let loose a barrage of flame spikes.

Spear rolled and shot off some spikes from his fingers at the guns. He managed to take two out. The X-men showed up with Stormy who blew an Artic breeze at the Jeep freezing the bombs. Cable blasted the Jeep away from the battle so that the bombs didn't go off accidentally. The battle intensified as more gunfire was released. Duncan cocked his gun ready to level off Spyke's head. He fired the gun thinking one dead mutant.

"Evan look out!" Sylvia shouted. Evan couldn't move fast enough, but Sylvia did. She pushed him out of the way taking the bullet in the shoulder. "Sylvia!" Spyke shouted.

Suddenly all the power went off. Everyone turned and looked. The little boy Evan had saved at the grocery store early had used his powers. He had saved the day.

The police came and arrested Duncan and his pals. The paramedics checked Sylvia out and discovered the bullet had just grazed her shoulder. She would be fine.

The Morlocks were about to leave when Mayor Engles and Sylvester Simons arrived on the scene. "Sylvia are you okay?" Mr. Simons asked his daughter checking her over.

"I'm fine Daddy Callisto is taking good care of me. That's why I have to return with the Morlocks to make a difference in one-person life. Do you understand Dad?" Sylvia asked

"I sure do. Evan please take good care of my daughter." Mr. Simons ordered.

Evan nodded. "Ms. Engels why are you here?"

"I like to present you Morlocks with this. It's a protection order and a deed to several of the sewers in Bayville. I hope it will help protect you." Ms. Engles told everyone gathered

"It will Ms. Engels thank you. Lancelot come here. I want you to continue with your work with the X-men. I believe in you. I love you." Sylvia kissed her son good-bye and disappeared below the streets. Hopefully things will work out in the end.
