Chapter 8: Reunion
By sundown, the two uber cars pulled up to a gate up in the Hollywood Hills, everyone stepped out and saw where they are, "Thank you again, Mr. Dopinder", said Carol.
"It's nothing really. Poolboy's quite the someone" said Dopinder. The two cars then drove away as Carol punched in the code to the front gate.
Then the gates slowly opened, "Come on guys", Carol led the group inside the gate and then she found the hid away key under the door mat.
From seeing the house that apparently loos like a long but one story house with a very small looking second floor just above the entry doors. Ronnie Anne wasn't sure that the house would fit all seventeen of them, "Are you sure that this place is big enough? I don't think were all gonna fit inside."
"Just wait and see for yourself" Carol said as she unlocked the double doors and pushed them open as they all walking inside, everyone was in awe at what they saw. They entered the foyer which was on the top of the double staircase looking straight down at the large living room below.
"This is your summer home?" asked Lincoln.
"Yeah", Carol said, "We lived here 'till I was three."
"This place is awesome!" said Rusty, "Now we get to live like rich people."
They all walked down both of the twin staircases right into the living room with a great view of LA and even a big veranda. To their left, they saw the dinning room with a huge kitchen near by. To the left they saw a den with a small fireplace.
"Okay, I take back what I said before, this place is great!" said Ronnie Anne.
"So, where are the bedrooms?" asked Sid.
"Some are on the top floor while the rest are below us" said Carol, "This house is on a hill so there's like two more floors under us."
As everyone went all over the house to choose out their bedrooms, in a split second, Liam and Tabby suddenly arrived in the living room sitting on the couch, "Howdy fellas."
Everyone was startled, "Where were you two?" asked Lynn.
"Out enjoying the city of angles love", said Tabby.
"Well you guys probably want to pick out a room", said Lynn.
"We already checked out the house" said Liam, "I call the left room on the bottom floor."
"I was wondering if I could room with Luna and Sam, if that's alright with them", asked Tabby.
Luna and Sam looked at each other with smiles on their faces, "Sure dude", said Luna.
"Yeah" said Sam, "I guess it should be fun the three of us."
"Well if you guys want, you could split the master bedroom" Carol said, "I'll just stick with the room I already have. Its upstairs to the right in the back." The three rocker girls headed upstairs with Carol following them to her room.
Soon Carol arrived at her bedroom, when she opened the door, so many more memories flooded back to when she was a little girl like her mother's stories about her time in the air force and all the stargazing they did together, the more she thought about it, the more and more she missed her family but mostly her mother.
For the rest of the day everyone was roaming around the house and eventually claimed their room in the house as follows:
. Lincoln
. Clyde
. Ronnie Anne & Sid
. Lynn & Margo
. Carol
. Luna & Sam & Tabby
. Francisco
. Rusty & Zach
. Stella
. Liam
. Lana
. Lisa couldn't find a room so she decided to use the completed basement space for a mixed Lab and Bedroom.
Later that night, Lincoln was in the kitchen looking in the fridge looking for something to drink as he saw a can of Vanilla Moca-Cola, as he drank it he heard something nearby, he quickly popped his right claws out and pointed them with an vicious look on his face, but it turns out to be Hops on the counter who didn't even flinch, he just simply croaked and then stuck his tongue onto Lincoln's middle claw without fear, Lincoln chuckled at the sight of this.
Lincoln then shut the fridge as his claws when back in and turned around but only to suddenly find himself face to face with another boy with blond hair, blue jeans, sneakers and a short sleeve orange t-shirt who just noticed Lincoln. The boy screamed in fear as Lincoln screamed back to him in fear, popping his claws back out and pointing them at the boy. Lincoln immediately recognized him from the supermarket when they both fought each other for the last box of Zombie Brand Cereal, "You?"
The boy recognized Lincoln too, "You? What the heck are you doing in my summer home?", they boy then looked at Lincoln's claws, "And what the heck is wrong with your hands?"
Lincoln was confused at the second thing he said as his claws went back inside, "Your summer home?"
"Conner?!", a second voice was heard coming from the stairs as a man with blond hair and mustache came into the kitchen with an blond emo girl who was around Lynn's age. He saw his son and the white haired boy, "Who the hell are you?", he asked as he pulled away his son from the boy.
Lincoln wasn't sure what to say, "Uh...".
Lynn then walked in from the living room, "Hey stinkin, did you...", Lynn then noticed the three others in the kitchen with her brother.
"Who are you?" asked the man.
"Who the hell are you?", responded Lynn as she popped her claws, startling the three people.
"Whoa, easy", said the man, "Please, don't hurt us."
The boy, Conner, tried to wrap his head around what he's seeing with the claws, "Those things in your hands can't be real", Conner then came up with an explanation for this, "That's it, your all not real. This is probably just a dream."
Lynn raised an eyebrow and smirked, "If I wasn't real, could I do this?", Lynn then let out a long a wet sounding fart, which didn't take long for the smell to reach the others.
"Holy crap that's awful!" said Conner who got a good wift of the fart and held his nose, "Did something crawl in here and die?"
Carol heard what was going on and came racing from her room but she smelled Lynn's fart and held her nose in disgust. She then noticed the man with the two kids, "Dad?"
"Carol!", the man then ran over to Carol and gave her a big hug and was starting to cry out of joy, "Oh, my little girl your okay."
"Carol this is your dad?" asked Lincoln confused.
"Yeah", Carol then turned to her father still holder her tightly, "Dad what are you doing here?"
"We came to find you, I've been so worried", Mr. Pingrey said as he let go of his daughter and then turned to Lincoln and Lynn, "Sweetie who are these people?"
"Their my friends, wait how did you know I was here?"
"Because I know you honey" said Mr. Pingrey, "You always loved coming here", he then sighed, "And I know why you left."
"Why, you don't think i'm a freak?"
"Honey your never a freak to me" said Mr. Pingrey, "If anyone calls my baby girl a freak, their the real monster."
Clyde and Sid walked in, "Hey did you guys know there's a pool?" said Sid, "And a great view of the city and there's so much privacy...", she and Clyde saw what was going on.
"Oooo, I guess this is bad timing", said Clyde.
"Kind of Clyde, yeah", said Lynn.
Mr. Pingrey saw Clyde and Sid, "Honey are they gifted too?"
Carol nodded, "And there's more here."
Mr. Pingrey looked at his eldest daughter in the eye, "Carol, we need to talk."
Soon everyone was gathered in the living room, "Dad, how are you so okay with me being a mutant?" asked Carol.
Mr. Pingrey sighed, "Carol this is about your mother."
"What about mom?"
"You know about the story of how we met right?"
Carol smiled as she remembers the story her father kept telling her, "Yeah. You were starting your company here and your partners took you out to celebrate and there you met mom when she was still stationed at the Air Force Base."
Mr. Pingrey smiled, "We fell in love. She was just so dazzling, she was unlike any women I've ever met. Then you came along and everything was perfect", Mr. Pingrey's smile then slowly became a frown, "But then she had to leave."
"So she did abandon us?"
"No, Honey she loved you so much. But she had a lot of responsibility she had to deal with, leaving was the one of hardest thing she ever did."
"So why did she leave? I know being an air force pilot is a lot but..."
Mr, Pingrey the interrupted his daughter, "She wasn't just an air force pilot. She was gifted just like you."
Carol was surprised, "What do you mean? Mom could do this too?"
"Yes", Mr. Pingrey said in a sad tone, "She could do the same things you can do. You really are just like her", Mr. Pingrey started to tear up, "But the world had big problems and threats, and she was the only one who could help. Then things got bigger and she had more problems beyond our world. She had to fight to protect her home, and her family."
Everyone hearing the story couldn't believe that Carol's mother was a mutant superhero, Lincoln was the one who was most amazed, "Whoa, that sounds so cool. She dose sound awesome."
"Yeah", said Conner who was a bit jealous of his sister having a superhero mother, "Dad why didn't you tell us this?"
"Because I didn't want you kids to accidentally tell anyone of this and get her in trouble. I wanted to tell you all for so long. I'm so sorry Carol."
"Dad what are you sorry for?" asked Carol, "I'm not happy that you didn't tell me about mom, but I still love you", Carol pulled her father into a hug.
"Your still my daughter, no matter what you can do. You and your friends can stay here as long as you need to, I'll pay for everything, just promise me that you'll stay safe. You and your friends."
"Of course dad", Carol then turned around to her friends, "Okay guys, I think we should call it a night."
"Your right honey" Mr. Pingrey then spoke to her group of friends, "You kids can pick out your rooms."
"They already did dad."
"I hope none called dibs on my room" said Conner.
Carol then paused for a second "Uh, about that..."
Later that night, Conner was in his bed very unhappy, "I can't believe this! First, Carol gets to live here, then she says that she and everyone else here is a mutant and her mom's a superhero, and now i'm gonna have to share a room with 'Pineapple Boy'!", Conner was lying in bed with Lincoln in bed right next to him due to Lincoln calling dibs on his bedroom.
"Hey, I know your not happy about this" said Lincoln who was a bit pouty himself, "Neither am I. First I run into the Stankcos again, then I run into you again and now I gotta share the room."
When hearing what Lincoln said made Conner sit up in surprise, "You know the Stankcos?"
"Yeah", Lincoln then sat up himself, "What? You know them too?"
"Know them?"
"I hate them!" both boys said simultaneously, "What? You hate them too? What they do to you?"
"They were jerks to me and my dad, and threw one of our helmets into a statues' mouth and made us go though the airport in our underwear", said Lincoln.
"Woof. Last time I was here, they pelted me with water balloons filled with maple syrup and covered me in feathers on Hollywood Boulevard. And they kept saying, 'Chicken on the loose! Get the Colonel!'"
Lincoln couldn't believe it, "Wow, I thought I was the only one. But they did the same thing to Wade and even you too."
"Who's Wade?"
"A guy we met at the park today. They threw a rock at him. Carol seems to like him."
"Really? Huh, he's gotta be something special if Carol likes him."
"Yeah. Plus he hates them too, so there's that."
Conner laughed, "Well if he hates them, then I like him already. Especially if he takes care of Carol."
Lincoln paused for a second, "You really care about her don't you?"
"Of course, she's my big sister", Conner then started to get a bit emotional but was trying real hard to hid it, "I hope she'll be okay."
Lincoln sighed, "You and me too bud", Conner turned his head toward Lincoln in confusion, "I had to leave the rest of my sisters behind. I hope their okay too. They're still my family."
Conner related to how the loud boy was feeling, "Wow. I can really relate to that. Maybe you and I aren't so different after all."
Lincoln agreed, "Yeah, I guess we're not", Lincoln then offered Conner his hand as a sign of a new friendship, "So, what do think we could bury the hatchet. I help take care of your sister while maybe you take care of mine. Friends?"
Conner took a moment to think about it, "Yeah", he then returned Lincoln's hand gesture in acceptance, "Friends."
Soon after, Lincoln started to yawn, "Hey, we should probably get some shut eye. It's been a long day."
Conner then yawned too, "Yeah your right", Conner then lied back down, "Night."
"Night", Lincoln responded as both boys fell asleep.
Around 1 A.M., most of the people in the house were deep asleep, except one.
Carol tossed and turned as she was having trouble staying asleep. She then got up and quietly headed outside to the backyard to clear her mind and get some fresh air. Outside, Carol looked up at the night sky. She was having mixed emotions over what's happening now: she's a mutant, she's with a whole bunch of mutants staying with her now, and her mother is a mutant too. But the biggest thing on her mind was, "What am I gonna do?", Carol was now responsible to help all the members of her new mutant family. She closed her eyes and held her hands together against her chest.
"Help them", Carol heard a familiar voice she hasn't heard in a very long time. She opened her eyes and saw a bright single light float gently down toward her. The light then lightly reached the group, the lights slowly died down as the source of this was a blond women who had energy flowing all over her just like Carol, she was wearing a blue and red suit with a gold star on her chest. When the energy fully died down, Carol immediately knew who she was.
"Mom?"
The women smiled, "Hi sweetie", she opened her arms as her daughter ran up to her and both hugged each other.
Carol was crying, "I missed you."
"I missed you too", her mother said, "You've grown so much."
"It's been years mom", Carol then broke the hug, "Mom why didn't you tell me your a mutant?"
Her mother sighed, "You were very young Carol. I didn't know how you would react if you knew. The last thing I wanted was you to be afraid of me."
"Well i'm not afraid now", Carol then showed her mother her powers, "I'm just like you."
Her mother just stood there amazed, "My little girl's gifted just like me."
"Mom, what do I do? We're on the run, and I don't know what to do? What if something goes wrong and something happens to them? I don't know how I could live with myself."
"Help them. Be there for them when they need you. I know that they'll be their for you too...even me", Carol was surprised at what her mother said, "I've lost so much time with you that I missed out on one of the best moments of both our lives, watching you grow up. I wasn't there for you and I regret it every single day, I want to help you with your powers."
"Really? You would really help me?"
"Of course. The best way to control your powers is to practice. Help your friends practice using their powers, just until they get the hang of it."
Carol agreed, "Help them train, and that'll help them defend themselves. Do anything you can to protect them. That's what I do, keep this world safe for my little girl."
Carol was touched by her mother's remark and motive for all those years, "I will."
Carol's mother smiled, "Good. I'll be coming by from time to time to check up on you sweetie, I still gotta keep this place safe for you."
Carol smiled as she pulled her mother into another hug, "I love you mom."
"I love you too honey", Carol then saw her mother's energy starting to flair up again as she slowly started to fly back up into the stars above.
Now Carol was again left alone as she kept looking straight at the stars in the night sky with a smile and tears in her eyes as she now knew what to do.
The next morning, Carol told everybody to meet in the backyard for one of their first training sessions for their powers, Mr. Pingrey, Conner and Cassy were all looking down from the living room veranda.
Carol also invited Wade to the training thinking that he could help train the group, Wade came wearing a black double sword holster on his back with two katana swords and a pair of black gloves, "God I love this weapon more than anything else in the world", Wade said while sharpening one of his blades, sitting across from Ronnie Anne, "You wanna know why?"
Ronnie Anne on the other hand didn't really care, "No."
Wade still told her anyway, "It's memorable. Sure it's a little bulky, tough to get on a plane. You whip out a couple of swords at your worst enemy's third wedding, they will never, ever forget it."
"It's funny Wade" said Ronnie Anne giving the teen a look, "I think you confuse me with someone who gives a shit."
"Granted it's probably not as intimidating as having laser eyes or bone claws or the finger nails of a TV Medium." Ronnie Anne's claw nails started to grow slightly over what Wade just said as Wade put his hand on the handle of one of his blades as he picked up the sharpener, "Manicure?"
Ronnie Anne was smirking at Wade, wanting to fight, "Easy Ronnie Anne", said Sid trying to calm her friend down.
Wade squinted his eyes, "Rusty's dressed like a bad ass", he said changing the subject, "I'm concerned."
Wade was right, Rusty was wearing a white tank top, a black leather coat he found inside the house and a pair of sunglasses, "Jesus Rusty, your going through a greaser phase?" said Margo smirking at Rusty, "I think your a few decades too late."
"What? We're reinventing ourselves" said Rusty.
"No one said to reinvent ourselves dude", said Luna, "It's start our lives over again."
Rusty just shrugged this off, "Still, I could pull off this look more than Lincoln did."
"It was a one time thing", said Lincoln.
"Plus he looked pretty good in it", said Clyde backing him up.
Ronnie Anne just laughed at the thought that Lincoln dressed like a greaser, Lincoln just rolled his eyes and sighed in annoyance, "Can we just get this started?"
"If your ready little guy", said Sam as she playfully messed up his hair.
"Very well" said Lisa acting like a referee, "You all know the rules correct?"
"No killing", said Lana.
"Don't seriously hurt anyone" said Francisco.
"Unless their healers" said Lisa specifying the rules, "Now what else?"
"Don't do property damage" said Zach.
"Yes", said Lisa, "But to whom?"
"To the house or anyone else's property", said Stella.
"Very good, and the most important rule?"
"Don't be seen" said Sid.
"By who?"
"By your opponent" said Lynn.
"Or?"
"Or anyone else" said Lincoln.
Lisa was reassured that everyone knew the rules for their training session, "Excellent, now everything else is simple, last mutant standing wins", Lisa then went upstairs to the Living room veranda, "Ready?"
"Wait!", Wade suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" asked Carol.
"I gotta put some music on", Wade then pulled out his phone and looked for a song while Carol raised an eyebrow, "What? You need the right music to do something this."
"He's got a point dude", Luna agreed with Wade.
Wade then found the prefect song, "Here we go", he connected his phone to his own personal speaker as the song started to play the chorus of Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise, "This is gonna be a better treatment for this song more than that blue crap-bag with human teeth", said Wade to the reader.
As the music started, the mutants were lined up in two rows, one of eight and another of nine, facing each other as they got their powers and abilities ready, "You ready Stinkin?" asked Lynn getting ramped up as her claws came out, "It's go time."
"You know it sis" said Lincoln as tied a red bandanna around his head then got his claws ready. Lana removed her hat and put it and Hops on the side as she had her knuckle claws out.
Lisa began the countdown, "Ready!"
"Time to make the Chimi-fucking-changas!", Wade said as he pulled out his swords. Carol's energy started to shine.
"Set!"
Liam got into a running position as Rusty started to heat up.
"Let's shred 'em", Luna had her claws out as she looked at Sam who was forming frost on her hands.
"GO!"
At that moment, like soldiers on a battle field, all the mutants then charged at each other.
Been spendin' most their lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise
Zach ran as fast as he could to get through the commotion and was about to lift up his glasses, but was immediately meet with one of Margo's electric fists, he then fell to the ground after feeling like a combination of a fist and a taser.
Been spendin' most their lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise
Lincoln was fighting hand to hand against Lynn with their claws, Lynn kept trying to strike Lincoln but Lincoln kept blocking. When he trying to strike Lynn, she quickly caught his claws with her single one as she flipped him onto his back. Meanwhile, Wade was fighting against Ronnie Anne, who kept stabbing and cutting him with her claw nails as he blocked and even cut her with his katanas.
Keep spendin' most our lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise,
Lana then surprised Lynn in a blitz attack from behind as she stabbed her in the back causing Lynn to yell in pain. She turned around to see Lana smiling. Lynn smiled back as her back wound healed and the charged at Lana, but was caught and held back by someone but she could see who it was and then something punched her in the face before she grabbed it from behind her and body slammed it, which turned out to be Sid.
Keep spendin' most our lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise
As Lincoln picked himself up, he then noticed that dark clouds were starting to form quickly with the winds picking up, and saw Stella moving her hands in the air controlling them. Then, she moved her hands towards Margo, Francisco and Luna with a huge gulf of wind, blew them back. She then made a lighting storm and even directed the lighting at them, but was quickly directed back at her by Margo's own electricity.
Zach knew he was in the middle of this and then blasted Margo with his optic beams for a second, which blew her back as Zach ran away.
She then saw Carol glowing as the energy at her hands and eyes were flaring up, she threw blasts of energy towards Sam who protected herself by forming a wall of ice, and even an ice path so she could quickly ride away on. But even with that, she saw Rusty all flamed up behind her as he threw fireballs down her path, but she froze them into ice balls, which quickly fell and shattered on the ground.
As Wade was chasing Ronnie Anne, he then lost her. He didn't notice that she climbed a tree and was waiting for anyone else or Wade to surprise.
Tell me why are we so blind to see
While looking for Ronnie Anne, Wade instead found a full metal Francisco, "You wanna go, bro?"
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Wade then spun his swords, "Bring it on Little Iron Giant."
Been spendin' most their lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise
Wade swung his swords but were easily blocked by Francisco's metal skin.
Been spendin' most their lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise
Meanwhile, Luna was facing with Tabby who used Luna's powers to fight against her.
Keep spendin' most our lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise,
While they were having fun fighting each other, they also felt the pain of being hit with a hard wood stick, which was Clyde teleporting back and forth between the two, still using the police batons he took back in Royal Woods.
Keep spendin' most our lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise
After an one on one fight with Francisco, who was obviously gaining the upper hand, Wade wasn't making any progress himself, "You know your pretty good at blocking with your arms, and legs, and pretty much everything else."
Francisco smirked, "Thanks."
But Wade still had a trick or two up his sleeve, "But what can you do against this!", Wade then punched Francisco in the face, but Francisco didn't even flinch, let alone feel anything, Wade was a different story though, "Oh...Canada!", he cried out in pain as he fell to his knees and held his broken hand, "Where have I seen this before?"
"Uh, Wade?"
"Cock Shot!", Wade then punched Francisco's crotch but still, he didn't flinch and Wade broke his other hand as a result, "Ow! Your poor wife."
Francisco looked down on Wade, "You really should stop, dude."
Wade the picked himself up while holding his arms with his broken hands dangling like Lincoln's sister Leni, "All the dinosaurs fear the T-Rex", he then made a sideways spin and kicked Francisco in the face, but again, Wade just broken another limb, "Ow! I just promise this gets worse for you Tiny Tin Man!"
Francisco was laughing at the sight of this, "Dude this is getting pretty embarrassing. Just stay down man."
Wade then picked himself up again just hopping on his only unbroken foot, "You ever heard of the one legged old man in the ass kicking contest?"
"Do you even have an off switch?"
"Yeah it's right by the prostate. Or is that the on switch?"
Francisco rolled his eyes and then swung his arm at Wade, which threw him against a tree.
Been spendin' most their lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise
Meanwhile, Liam was running all over the place, punching and attacking without anyone even getting a chance to see him and was even making a dust cloud with a little help from Stella's storm, as Sam then shot a layer of ice on the ground, Liam ran through it and slipped and tumbled to the ground. He picked himself up and then ran again, but while he was looking for Sam, he wasn't paying attention to where he was going and slammed into a low hanging tree branch and fell on his back.
Been spendin' most their lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise
Back with Sam, she was still being followed by a flaming Rusty, she then used Stella's storm to make a vanishing escape by creating ice crystals in the rain making snow fly around her. While he was still running, Rusty then tripped on a tree stump and landed face first in a pile of animal droppings.
Keep spendin' most our lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise,
Near Lincoln, he then suddenly saw Clyde with the batons and knew with smiles on both their faces they were gonna be fight each other, which they did.
Zach was still running, trying to avoid anymore opponents as he could.
Keep spendin' most our lives, Livin' in the Gangsta's Paradise
As he stopped to take a breather, he turned his head to one of the trees behind him to see Ronnie Anne smiling and growling at him from the top of the palm tree.
Tell me why are we so blind to see
As he started to run, he didn't see that Ronnie Anne leaped from the tree like a wild cat and was chasing him on all fours.
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Moments later, she pounced him from behind, which caused his red glasses to come off his face and his uncontrolled optical beams cut straight through a nearby tree close to the house as he quickly shut his eyes tightly.
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Ronnie Anne gasped when she realized her mistake of knocking off Zach's glasses as she saw that the palm tree was getting unstable from the blast cut.
"What?!", asked Zach who was worried, "What I hit?!"
The training session stopped as everyone then noticed a palm tree was starting to lean toward the house.
The Pingreys and Lisa were still standing on the veranda as they saw the tree starting to lean towards the house, then gravity did it's part and the tree began to fall. Everyone on the ground saw this and ran towards the house. Lisa screamed as the tree was falling straight toward the veranda and closed her eyes and had her arms wrapped across her face, bracing herself of the impending weight of the tree about to crush her... but nothing happened.
As Lisa opened her eyes, she saw the tree was mere inches away from her and standing at an impossible angle for something that heavy and tall to be perfectly balanced. Lisa didn't know what to think, "How in the name of Issac Newton is this possible?!", Lisa then reached her arm towards the tree and noticed that the tree slowly moved in the same direction as her arm. She then moved her arm to the left and saw that the tree moved in the same direction.
'Oh my gosh! Please be okay!', Lisa heard Lincoln's voice worrying about her, the next second Clyde teleported himself and Lincoln to the veranda, "Lisa! Are you...", Lincoln and Clyde then noticed that the tree wasn't touching the house, "What...?", 'Is she doing this?', Lisa heard Lincoln's voice but saw that he wasn't speaking.
'Is she stopping the tree?', Lisa also heard Clyde's voice at the same time she heard Lincoln's and also noticed that he wasn't speaking either.
Lisa was amazed at what's going on to her, "I'm listening to your thoughts", she said softly.
Neither Lincoln or Clyde heard her clearly, "What?"
Lisa then turned back to the tree, she then jumped on top of one of the patio furniture to get a better look down, she stretched her arm slowly towards the tree and saw it move slowly away from the house.
On the backyard, the others just watched the tall palm tree slowly move back away from the house and then fell ever so gently back to the ground, they had no clue who was making it do that.
An excited Lisa then knew at that moment, she too had special gifts as her siblings and new acquaintances, her brain was truly something extraordinary, she was a mutant too.
Well there you have it folks. We saw Carol's summer home, met some of her family and even saw some powers training.
The thing most of you just read is that Carol's biological mother is actually Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), Carol herself is named after her. But the thing I changed for her is that she's a mutant in my story but still has the same abilities and look as her big screen counterpart.
One thing you might notice is that Carol's family in this chapter. The names of Carol's siblings are from one of my favorite stories "What Is A Person Worth?" by That Engineer. One thing I like about the story is the unlikely friendship that formed between Lincoln and Carol's little brother, Conner (Bratty Kid from Cereal Offender) as the story progressed. Something you should know that Conner's mother from Cereal Offender (as well as Cassy's mom) is Carol's Stepmother, Angela. She and Carol don't really get along and when she called Carol a monster, their father who I named Clark, left her with the kids to go find Carol.
Finally, Lisa is a mutant too. Her powers are telepathy and telekinesis, those of Dr. Jean Grey with a lot of potential and is a reference to another one of my favorite Loud House fanfic, "Loud Heroes" by Smoking Wrecker and zachlor16 (Both stories I suggest you guys read too, their both great).
And before we close out, let me just clarify that I don't own Gangsta's Paradise, its just a good song to use.
Plus a heads up for the next chapter, there will be a three month time skip with some of the characters getting some new looks and even something else new for a few of them.
So, leave a comment and tell me what you think and if there's anything else you want to see. Until next time.
