Title: Felix ZeyfPO2-4194

Chapter 9: Family Reunion
From where we left off last time:
The X-Men had crammed everyone into the Blackbird, somehow. It just wasn't made for that many people and that much luggage, but the Masters Of Vengence knew better than to complain. Besides, they were so in awe of the unbelievable technology on board. Everyone was whispering excitedly to one another, despite the fact that none of them had gotten much sleep. The trip lasted roughly 45 minutes at the speed they were going at, and it seemed like no time at all that they arrived in the air space around the mansion. Cyclops let the jet idle in place right above the mansion, one to let the children get a good view of the outside, two to let Xavier know he was there.
"My god, check it out!"
"Damn, dude, it's HUGE!"
"Mom and dad live *there*?" Felix's eyes were glued to the scene down below him-the mansion, rising into the sky, the surrounding trees and lake, everyhing about the place seemed so beautiful, so peaceful. 'Maybe this won't be too bad', he thought to himself.
Jean made contact with the professor, -Professor? We're here. Are Gambit and Rogue near? Should I contact them?-
-That won't be neccessary, Jean. They are currently in the hangar awaiting the new arrivals; however, they do not yet know he is there.-
-Alright. We're on our way down.- She made eye contact with Scott and nodded her head. He began the descent.
**********
Gambit leaned in close to Rogue's ear. "Look like we gonna get some new recruits, eh, chere?"
"What gave ya that ideah." She answered sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
Gambit began to answer her back, but the ceiling of the hangar opened to reveal first the blue morning sky, then the Blackbird appeared over the opening.
The assembled X-Men were silent as the Blackbird descended into the opening. Even if they had wanted to talk, the whurring of the jet was too loud to have heard anything anyways. Bobby was standing next to Warren, whose feathers were being rustled by the strong wind from the jet, who was next to Betsy, then Wolverine, Collossus, Gambit, Rogue, and Sam. None of them were showing much interest in what might be in the jet; it wasn't the first time they'd all had to greet new mutants.
Finally, Scott cut the engine and lowered the main door. First, as usual, out came Jean and Storm, followed immediately by Beast. However, in his big fuzzy arms was an unconscience looking giant lizard-no, dragon. A sullen-faced, blonde boy with tears in his eyes was to the left of him. Then the others began to file out behind him.
Suddenly, Logan sniffed. His eyes grew large, and he sniffed again. "Oh my God, it can't be..." He looked towards Gambit and Rogue. "You're not gonna believe it..."
"What, homme? What got you so..."
Suddenly something caught his eye, and he looked up. "Oh, saints, Rogue..." She looked up to where his eyes were directed, and saw what he had: a small boy, his eyes and her hair, holding the hand of a green-haired teen. Obviously their son. Obviously... she walked towards him, slowly, and disbelieving what her eyes told her.
"H-hi, shugah." She managed.
"Hi, mommy." She began to cry, and fell to her knees in front of him.
"Mah son..."
"Yes'm. Felix is his name. He's who you been lookin' for." He had the whole situation more fully explained to him on the way here.
"Felix." She said quietly.
"Mommy." Answered Felix.
Rogue grinned broadly and hugged Felix, taking him quite by suprise. His suprise was evident on his face, and Gambit took notice. It hadn't quite become real to him yet, even years after the incident, that he was a father. But here he was, his son. Gambit smiled to him, and made his way over to him, slowly. Felix broke away from Rogue to get a better look at his father.
"Hey daddy."
"Hey, son." It still sounded odd to him, but he was looking forward to making it seem less awkward. My boy. He smiled.
Felix now looked up to acknoledge the rest of the group. "Hey, ya'll." He smiled at them all, and they all merely gawked at him, stunned. His smile faded.
'They don't like me', he thought. 'They don't like me.'
He backed towards Clive, and grasped his hand again. Rogue turned to glare at everyone else standing there. That got them to moving. "Uh, hey man. Sorry we didn't say anything, just a little suprised, ya know? I mean, I thought you were dead! How wrong I was... heh heh... yeah." Bobby rambled on and on, but it promted everyone else to speak as well.
"Hey, bub. I'm Logan." Logan was straight and to the point, then offered his large, hairy hand to Felix, who fearlessly took it and shook.
"Hiya, Logan." The smile was beginning to return. The rest of the X-Men all took turns introducing themselves and welcoming him to the mansion.
Everyone was so caught up, they didn't notice the other two come to the door of the jet, until Logan sniffed the air once more.
"Holy hell!" He quickly looked in the direction of Samantha, right next to Yuffie. "Where the hell did she come from?" He narrowed his eyes and growled, probably more because of habit from smelling similar scents, but it was enough to scare Yuffie.
He stepped a few steps closer to Logan, who regarded him as a child may regard an interesting insect. "Don't threaten her again, sir." He said, politely enough, but with enough of an edge to show he meant it.
Logan merely laughed at the small child with pale skin and pointed ears. "Or what, Spock?"
Yuffie closed his eyes, and Logan began to convulse.

Alrighty, dis is de end of chapter 9. Review, por favor. Yes, it was hastily written, but I had to get to where Felix met mommy and daddy. Tell me, did it go as you thought? I'm not that good at writing sappy, happy stuff. The best I could do, man. Tell me what chu t'ink!
