Rebirth and Evolution
Chapter One Part One




"Serena sweetheart, time for breakfast." To Irene, everything seemed right in the world. The sun was shining, birds were chirping and the temperature was perfect. Living in Texas almost always meant hot weather in the summer time, but today it was perfect. And from the sound of feet hitting the stairs even her daughter was up early. What more could she ask for?

"Mmmm, pancakes. My favorite. Thanks mom." Serena said while practically drooling over the sight and smell of the pancakes. Unable to stand just looking at them, she quickly tried to grab a pancake.

What she didn't know was that her mother was watching and, with a quick slap on the wrist from her mother she quickly brought her hand back to her side and pouted.

"Now Serena, you know you have to wait for Sammy and your father."

"But mom, the pancakes will get cold if we wait for them." Serena whined trying to convince her mom to let her have some pancakes.

"No, and that's final. Why don't you turn on the news until they get down."

"Fine." Serena huffed, still unhappy about being unable to have some of the pancakes.

She turned on the T.V. and flipped through the channels trying to find the news. When she got to the channel the last few words of a message scrolled across the screen. They were: escaped from jail. 'Hmmm, I wonder who they're talking about. Maybe they'll have the story later on in the news,' Serena thought to herself.

"Good morning Serena, Irene. How are you two lovely ladies doing this morning?" Serena's dad, Ken, said as he and Sammy sat down at the table.

He then saw the TV and wondered what could be going on. "Huh? What's on the news morning Serena? Why don't you turn it up so we can all hear it?" Ken asked.

TV: "In today's news, the mutant known as Magneto has escaped from his plastic prison. The security guard was attacked when she went in to deliver his food this morning. It seems he knocked her unconscious, stole her keys, and then used his mutant powers to further escape. His whereabouts are unknown and if you see him to not confront him. Call the police and let them take care of this highly dangerous mutant.

"Wow! That's so cool. I wish I could be a mutant." Sammy said while hoping that when he was older he could be a mutant and wondered what his powers might be if he was.

"No you don't young man! If you or Serena become a freak like that you might as well not bother coming home!" Ken didn't want his children to be freaks of nature because to him, being a mutant only meant a life of pain with no future.

"Well," Irene stated slowly, unsure of how to break the awkward silence that had settled over the room. "I know! Let's have a picnic at that cute little park with the woods and lake surrounding it. How about it?"

'I can't believe that dad said something like that. I mean, mutants are people too. He makes me glad that I'm not a mutant,' she thought. "Sure mom, sounds great I'll go get some supplies for the grill and a blanket," and with that she raced up the stairs grateful for a reason to leave the table.

__________________________________________________________ **At the park**

'Finally, I don't how much longer I could have stayed in that car. Sammy can be sooo annoying sometimes.' She thought to herself while stretching to get the cramps out of her legs.

"Hey Serena! Try to catch me if you can, Meatball Head!" Sammy yelled as he tried to engage his sister in a race. He knew that the only thing that would make Serena run was by calling her names. And be the look on her face, a look that seemed to promise a great deal of pain, he had succeeded.

"Sammy... you take that back," she panted out while chasing after him. She was slower than him and it didn't help her that she had a very heavy backpack on that was packed full of food, blankets, and other picnic related item.

All of a sudden she stopped dead in her tracks. Something wasn't right. Something, evil, that she felt deep in her bones.

Sammy soon realized he wasn't being chased and that the death threats had suddenly stopped. He turned around to look and see what was wrong. She was just standing there looking around, as if she was looking for someone, or something.

While she was looking around she noticed smoke coming from a clearing in the woods. 'That's where the bad feeling is coming from. I'd better go check it out.'

"Sammy stay here, I'm going to check out the fire!" She called out not paying any attention to whether he followed her advice or not and ran head into the forest.

'She may be a meatball head, but I'm not going to let her run off where she could get hurt,' and with that he ran off after his sister.


She smelled the smoke and heard voices before she actually saw the people that were in the clearing. Not wanting to be seen, she hid behind a large tree bordering the clearing and watched what was going on.

The first thing she saw was a woman with blue skin and short red hair. With, what seemed like little scales covering her whole body. It was very easy to see this because she had no clothes on. (A.N I'm doing this for the most part based on the movie X-men not on the cartoon or comic book.) She then realized that the mutant, for what else could she be, was talking and listened in.

"___ you join us. You'd make a perfect member for out team. You've already shown how good you are with your mutant powers." She said as she looked at the burnt down trees and scorched grass. "I must say, you are quite adept with your flames, all the more reason for you to join us. It would be a pity if I had to kill a fellow mutant."

"Thanks, but no thanks. I still believe humans and mutants can coexist," said the second girl. She had long black hair that ran past her back and violet eyes. She was wearing a red leather tank top that showed her stomach and black leather pants and boots. She had a belt on and the buckle being a circle with an X on the inside. The thing that seemed the strangest was a glowing red symbol that was on her forehead, and if she remembered her astrology right, Serena thought that it was the symbol for mars.

With those words, the mutant that Serena had dubbed 'Mars', attacked Mystic. She held up her hand while running towards Mystic and before the other mutant new flames had shot out of Mar's hand and completely circled her.

Mystic was made of tougher stuff than that, and leaped gracefully out of the ring of fire. The only part of her that looked worse for the wear and tear was her slightly singed hair.

Then, Serena found out what Mystics mutant ability was. Mystic transformed in Mars and threw flames back at Mars. They both ran at each other fists flying. It soon became apparent that Mystic had the upper hand in hand to hand combat and Mars was knocked to the ground dazed, and at the moment, unable to get up.

By now, the sounds of fighting and smoke had drawn a lot more people to the fight. Among the observers were Serena's parents who watched in horror as two girls who looked exactly alike were fighting each other, when one of them knocked the other one out by a lucky uppercut to the jaw.

Serena was oblivious to the fact that her family, among others, were right behind watching the fight.

"Nooo!" Serena cried as she ran the distance to the fallen girl. When she had fallen, something had snapped inside her. It was like she had seen this all before....

She quickly shook the feeling away concentrating on trying to help the girl. What she had forgotten to take into account was the fact that there was still a dangerous mutant nearby

Before she knew hat was happening, she was on the ground several feet back with a tremendous headache. Only then did she realize her mistake, that just because 'Mars' was down didn't mean that the fight was over. (AN: I always get annoyed when the villain just waits while they do whatever they want so I tried to put this in more realistic terms.)

"Stupid human! This is not your fight!" Mystic said while gathering a fireball in her hand. "But if you insist, I'll gladly get rid of you before I take out Mars." With that, she launched the fireball at Serena.

Right before it could hit, something jumped in front of her and took the blast before crumpling to the ground in a heap.

"Huh?" was Serena's not to bright response. When she saw the blast coming towards her she had quickly closed her eyes and waited for the inevitable. After waiting for several seconds and nothing happened, she opened her eyes and made that intelligent response.

Something was lying on the ground right in front of her. It was burnt all over and had shaggy brown hair that was singed. Realizing that somebody had taken the blast for her she quickly crawled over the charred grass to try and help the person.

She gently rolled the body over and took it in her arms. Feeling for a pulse, she found it and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned over her shoulder and saw several people staring at them in shock at what had just happened.

"Hey you over there," she called "Call an ambulance this kid is really hurt," not checking to see if somebody did what she said, she turned back to the kid in her arms. It was then that she realized just who was in her arms. Sammy, her annoying little brother had just saved her life. She looked him over once again and realized that unless there was a miracle, her little brother was not going to make it.

He had third degree burns covering his whole body. The only place it seemed to have missed was his back because it had hit him from the front.

She quickly took his pulse again... he was alive, but just barely. In another minute o two he would no longer be alive. "No, Sammy," she whispered softly, "Don't leave me. Oh God, I feel so helpless. I would do anything to help you." She closed her eyes and cried over her brother's body. Every second his pulse got weaker and she ignored everything around her.

She didn't see a furry, blue teenager who had a forked tail (AN: If you've ever seen the animated version then this is Night Crawler. I just can't describe him very well.) pick up Mars and teleport to an unknown destination, or two men dressed in tight black leather outfits start fighting Mystic.

All she could think about were the good times she and her brother had when they were little. Too absorbed in her memories she didn't notice that her hands were glowing and a white light covering her brother.

Finally, she opened her eyes and saw the light, and as soon as it came, it was gone. There she saw her brother lying in her arms perfectly healthy. 'How did this happen,' she silently asked herself. 'Could it be? Could I be a mutant? There is no other possibility.

She laid her brother gently on the ground and stood up and faced her parents, who were at the edge of the clearing. The expression on their faces made it clear to her that they feared her and her mutant powers. She then remembered her father's words. 'If you or Serena become a freak like that, you might as well not bother coming home!" Thinking that he truly did mean those words she quickly turned and ran into the quickly darkening woods.


***Somewhere in New York***

An elderly man is sitting in a wheelchair with several people gathered around. Three of them are men that were seen earlier at the park and the girl called Mars. Three other girls were standing next to Mars. Their faces couldn't be seen but there were glowing symbols on each of their foreheads.

"It has been confirmed, Serena Tsukino is indeed a mutant. We must get to her before Magneto does. If her gets to her first we may not be able to win this war for humanity."
