Disclaimer:I do not own Mutant X, Tribune and Marvel do.
Author's Note: I make a reference to the London House, which is a Legacy House in Poltergeist The Legacy, but I just use the term because it fits the story and it goes with Madison's story. Also, Madison Caden is making a guest appearence in this story, if she is confusing to you then I suggest you read "Goddaughter," and "Madison Caden."

Chapter 4 - London's Princess
LONDON HOUSE
LONDON, U.K.
The house in which Sierra Fox lived in was more than a house, it was one of London's old mansions that looked more like a castle. She lived there with a woman named Evelyn Carter, her grandmother. She had never known her parents, just that they were good people. She also knew that she was very different from other children. She had been born less than a year ago and she was already three years old? Definately NOT normal. Sierra also possessed what her grandmother referred to as gifts. Grandmother had said that she was feral and psionic and explained what it meant to be feral and psionic. She had also heard her grandmother say that she was a child of two children of Genomex. Sierra sat in the window seat of her room and looked down at the garden. It was her favorite place. Sierra pulled out a shoe box that she had hidden from her grandmother, since Grandmother hated clutter. Sierra had decorated the box with paper, markers, and glitter, it was her treasure box. Her treasure box held all of her drawings, writings, her lists, and daily diary entries she had started since she had learned to write. Most of the diary entries were written in english, but other entries were written in french because she had been angry. The treasure box was suppose to be a gift, a gift for peolple she had never met, but hoped that she'd them meet someday. The box was for her parents. She took out her pad of paper and pulled off a piece of yellow paper, yellow was her color for her lists. She wrote names and words that she thought referred to herself or her parents that she had heard from Grandmother, each day she would remember the words she had heard and then write them down. She began to write her list:
Word List for November 11, 2002
1. abilities starting to shift (letter)
2. Adam, Grandmother's brother (letter)
3. expect package (letter)
4. What happens in 24 weeks? The Americas? (letter)
Sierra Isabelle Fox
The door to her room started opening, so Sierra quickly put the list in the box, but she was unable to put the box under her bed in time. She looked up in relief to see Madison Caden, her friend. "Madison!" Sierra exclaimed in her english accent happy to see her and hugged Madison. "What are you doing here?"
"Visiting for awhile. I hear the whole preschool thing didn't work out," Madison said.
"It's okay. I was SO scared!"
"You went into feral mode."
"Yeah...how did you know?"
"Your grandmother, plus I know your mom."
"My mum?" Sierra asked sitting up and straitening her dress.
"You know your grandmother needs to stop dressing you in white. You wear white and she wears black, and neither are actual colors! There's yellow, orange, red, pink, blue, green, and purple, and a whole bunch of in between colors."
"My mum, Madison?"
"What about her?"
"Grandmother hasn't told me anything about her or my father."
"Nothing?"
"Well, only that they're good people and I think they live in the Americas."
"Well, that's just about nothing. Okay, if I tell you about them you have to think of it like how I don't tell your grandmother about your treasure box."
"It's just our little secret?"
"Exactly."
"Okay! Madison, can I write what you tell me down, so that I can put it in my treasure box?"
"That's a good idea. Okay, ready?"
"Yes," Sierra told Madison as she pulled out some blue pieces of paper. Blue to Sierra meant truth, and she knew that's what Madison would tell her. Sierra got a pen ready and waited for Madison to start.
"Let's start with who, what, where, when, and why. Who? Well, your parents are Shalimar Fox and Brennan Mulwray, they aren't married at least not the last time I checked they weren't. Anyways, they live in a place called Sanctuary in the Americas with Adam, Jesse Kilmartin, and Emma deLauro."
"Okay so are they New Mutants?" Sierra asked.
"All, but Adam. Adam helped create New Mutants, and he's the leader of Mutant X, which all the people I listed are apart of."
"Mutant X?"
"Mutant X, well it's a group of five who protect other New Mutants."
"Oh, I see."
"Your mother, Shalimar, is a feral."
"Just like me?"
"Yes, she's afraid of fire, too."
"Okay, I already feel better."
"Your father, Brennan, is an elemental. He can do this launch thing and can throw electricity. Jesse, is a ,molecular, he can phase in and mass out his body and whatever he touches. Emma, is a psionic."
"Like me?"
"Yes, but no. You're a telepath and Emma is telempathic. Understand?"
"Yes."
"Good. What? Umm...Mutant X, but already explained that. Where?"
"Sanctuary. It's in the Americas," Sierra said looking off her notes.
"When? Umm...well that would be presently..."
"Why? Is to protect New Mutants."
"Good. What else?"
"What happens in twenty-four weeks?"
"I don't know. Why? Where did you see it?"
"In a letter Grandmother wrote."
"To who?" Madison asked interested.
"Her brother, Adam."
"Adam? Then I suppose you'll go to Sanctuary in twenty-four weeks."
"To see my mum and dad?" Sierra asked happily.
"I don't know, maybe," Madison told her. "But we'll find out soon enough. Put your treasure box away, and we'll go shopping."
"But I'll grow again soon," Sierra told Madison sadly.
"That's okay, I know what we can get that has color, but won't be too small in a while." Madison watched as Sierra slid her treasure chest under her bed. Sierra jumped up and her white dress straitened out. "This just won't do," Madison told Sierra looking down at her white dress, tights, and shoes. "Let's go," Madison told her.
"You're wearing black," Sierra pointed out.
Madison looked down at her clothes, "yes, well, your grandmother has a dress code for this house."
"I've noticed."
"Well, let's go out then," Madison said as they walked down the corridor to the foyer. Johnathan, who was Madison's keeper was there.
"Going out?" Johnathan asked.
"Yes," Madison answered as Johnathan helped her put on her black full length coat, and then handed her her gloves.
"Miss Sierra," Johnathan said helping her with her knee length white coat, put on her white hat, and handed her her white gloves. "Shall I bring the car around ladies?" Johnathan asked.
"No, I think we'll be fine on foot," Madison told him and Sierra nodded.
"Purse?" Johnathan asked.
Madison picked up her black purse from a chair, "got it."
"Cell?"
"Have cell, will travel," she told Johnathan smiling.
"Very good," Johnathan said opening the door. Madison Caden and Sierra Fox walked out and started towards the gate. They heard Johnathan close the door.
"Let's hurry before Grandmother finds out!" Sierra told Madison smiling.
"Okay," Madison agreed and they ran out the gate and down the street.
