X-men are the property of marvel, Asa is my creation.
Dear Diary: Hello it is me Marie, it as been years since I have actually taken time to sit down and write something. An usually it had to do with depression fear, or Gambit. But things are different now. It is almost Christmas time, almost three years since Asa Steel first stepped foot in the mansion. I cannot believe how much things are different around here. This entry is mostly about him. I have a feeling it will be a long one. After the battle with the Orange Creature the Emperess of the sh'ar asked the X-men for help. A strange race from unknown space invaded Sh'ar space. They were a match for them technology wise, but this race had a champion with tremendous power. This being could destroy armies and fleets on it's own. the Sh'ar and the other empires of this part of the universe were starting to get concerned. The emperoress, an old flame of charles, need some help on a serct mission to discover the origions of this race and any weakness their champion might have. Asa, Wolverine, myself, Gambit, Jean, Scott, and Marrow along with the professor went with her. Did I forget to mention that me and Asa were starting to see each other at that time, more on that later. We faced many battles and trials in the few weeks we were gone. I actually got a lot closer with sarah, she was different somehow. She was not the angry spiteful person any more. The emperoress had a sister that was supposed to be one of the most beautiful females im the universe. She was being a bit too friendly toward Asa if you ask me. I was feeling a little down about that for a bit, after all me and Asa were seeing each other. Then one night on the top of a mountian on anoother world Asa told me that she was pretty, but that the title of Most Beautiful woman in the universe belonged to me. Corny, but I really need to hear that. He always seems to know just what I need to hear. The mission was a failure, and an enemy fleet of twenty heavy ships had us cornered on a deserted planet and worse their campion was coming to kill us personally, he was huge and from head to toe cover in some sort of armor. He defeated each one of us, even Asa. but did not kill us. Asa then discover another power level his eyes were orange now and he and the Champion went to toe to toe after the transformation in a glorious battle that was spyed on by empires know and unknown, Still the champion held the upper hand. It even thanked Asa for a good fight, but that it was going to have to kill all of us. It held Marrow up and was going to begin with her. She had put up quite a fight the entire mission and even saved my life a couple times, the champion had beat her badly. She just smiled and said to him " I know this means nothing to you but go ahead and kill me, I am Christian, I will get to see mommy again, she always prayed for me." She turned her head toward Asa and said "I will see you there my brother." and she passed out. As with Orange all devices from whatever race maybe peeking in was inturupted, everything from spy probes to long range scaners could not see a thing for two minutes. When when contact was reestablished the Champion was laying face down with a huge hole in his center, it was smoking badly. The fleet was in peices. I was some how siting up with Marrow in my lap. Asa was just sitting there holding his head, he was not able to remember what had happened. We all would recover, that is except sarah, she was in a coma. The sh'iar celebrated a great victory, but we sadly took Marrow home. She had to stay in a Sh'iar medical tube. Asa and Wolverine sat with her every night for two weeks. Asa even cried in my arms one night. He did not even know she had become a Christian. One evening she woke up as Asa was sleeing in a chair. She had changed. Call it Sh'iar technology, a miricle, or what ever. She was now in full control of her powers and she was simply a beautiful young woman. Wolverine has become her new mentor in the ways of fighting, and Asa has become her teacher in the ways of God. She is growing by leaps and bounds, she wants to study to become a missionary. Missionary work in the tunnels is still going strong, Asa and Sarah go for visits every so often. (Gathering support Asa and Micha are planning to use old abandon areas of the city to build new homes and comunities for the poor mutnat and human alike.) Sarah is as close to me as any sister ever could now a days. She is a bright light around here now, sweeter and kinder than woman I have ever known, and yet can still break your arm. After the Sh'iar epoisode the sentinals reappeared in force. They first went after Gen-X and destroied their school. After that the professor had them move in at the mansion, along with some other young mutants. Emma and Sean would reopen the school for preteen mutants, the teens would be taught at the mansion. Jubes loved it that she gets to hang out with her wolvie and her big bro. I can see Asa and her laughing about this or that all the time. Paige was enjoyed it and Asa become a mentor to her and even to Chamber who now has better control over his powers. Still bad times were bound to happen. Dear Moria was killed in a sentinal attack, Rahne had a break down. Rahne, Kurt, Kitty, and Colossus joined up with the X-Men. Rahne was bitter and mad at God for awhile, she refused to eat and was witthering away, but with loving pleas from Asa, Sarah, and Kurt she came through with her faith stronger than ever. She and Sarah are the best of friends now. Wolverine and Storm started to see each other and eventually married. Gambit and Emma have started to see each other, to the great amusement of Sean. Now to the Asa and me Part. Well after a wonderful first dated it blossemed from their. I cannot totally describe how he made me feel. Wanted, desired, but respected, loved. Oh the things we did, even with facing powerful mutants and a varitey of other things, and with being the guide, friend, big brother to so many people, he always made some time just for us. And he kept things pure. That time we got stuck in the cabin alone in the middle of snow storm with just one sleeping bag. We shared it, but like that time in my room he just held me through the night. this went on for a few months, then all of the sudden I had full control of my powers right out of the blue. I could hold my friends in my arms, give a big hug to my brother Kurt. It was great, but I could also hold Gambit. That stirred up old feelings between us. Asa caught me and Gambit kissing one night, I do not know how it happened it just did. For a moment I did not know what I wanted, but at that moment all I knew was I could touch Gambit. For a time I called it off with Asa, and caused him some pain. Maybe it was the foolish girl in me. Me and Gambit went away together for a weekend. It was a lovely weekend. And one night Gambit pressed the boundary Asa never would, we almost crossed over it. but in the heat of passion something deep inside had changed. I had once longed to be touch by anyone, especially Gambit. But now that I could betouched by Gambit, deep down inside all I wanted was to be with Asa. Gambit understood he actually was feeling guilty about the whole matter. We returned to the Mansion to find Asa gone and nobody knew where he had gone except the professor. I was crushed. Days went by and I was losing my mind. Sarah was a deep comfort, I thought she would be mad at me for leading Asa on or something. Oh she ws not pleased, but she sat and talked with me. she even shared her new faith with me, I had always considered myself Christian, but had been away for a long time. Now maybe it was time to get back to my spiritual roots, not for Asa'sake or favor, but because I wanted to. Me, Sarah, Rahne, Sam, Logan, Storm, Paige would started attending church together on a regular basis. The weeks turned into a month and one month turned into two, still no word from Asa. A lot of people were missing Asa. But the professor would not say. then one day he simply walked into the Mansion with a female attached to his arm. it was the sister of the Sh'iar empresses, Lunansa, Asa just called her Lu, she was very beautiful. Jubes rushed and nearly knocking Lunansa down and hugged Asa. Everyone greeted him and smiled. But he was kind of ignoring me and Gambit. it turns out that he was on a secert mission for the Emperoress. A plot that might cause civil war in the empire and turn the earth into a slave world was being hashed in the empire. the emproress and others were opposed, did not an earthling save the Empre from the mytery race's Champion? So Lunansa was sent to enlist the aid of the Mighty "Moose". She begged Asa to help her find the cause of the trouble to save her family and and hios world from slavery, Asa agreed. For weeks they searched and spend a lot of lonely nights together, alien or not she had that look when ever she glanced over at him, she wanted him. My Heart sank, he was said I was even more beautiful then her to him. How could I have been so foolish as to risk things for most likely have been a one to a few night stand. I care about Gambit, but I know him too. They found the cause and took care of it, all was well. They had even gotten close it was clear, she thanked the professor for the loan of an X-man and offered Asa a reward, to become her husband, and a prince in the sh'iar empire. Asa declined. But She gave him a kiss and asked if she ever need him again wouls he be willing to come to her aid, he siad yes, she vowed the same for him and left. He went to his room and did not say a word to me or Gambit. Sarah told me later that he was upset at me and Gambit. I found him down by the lake later that evening with Sarah, Jubes , and Paige. Sarah exused herself and asked Jubes and Paige to come with her, they left us alone, Jubes was giggling a little. I stood there for a few minutes, then I told him that Gambit and I did not do anything, he believed me. But he siad that I still had strong feelings for Gambit so it was most likley best that we just be friends, did I not have a simlar talk in the same place. He was ready to leave but I would not let him go, I told him That the past few weeks were horrible I did not know where he was, I was worried. Asa acting like he did not care, I got mad and asked if he had fun with the princess he said he did. But nothing happened because he could not get me out of his head, Morning day and night he was asking himself, waht did he do. Down about not being as handsome as Gambit or having his ways aroung the ladies. I told him I was sorry. but he just flew off. I went after him and in midair I gabed him and kissed him, I told him my heart. I just wanted to be with him and begged him to let me have another chance. He agreed, but he siad we would have to start from the beginning and he put the ball in my court. I finally did win him back. And he and Gambit were on good terms once again. And things were wonderful again, so wonderful that he bought a ring and asked me to marry him. I said yes. The wedding was beautiful. And the Honey Moon was more then I could have ever dreamed. not long after I got pregnant with our first child, and strom and Jean also got pregant. Poor Scott, Logan, and Asa had to go out at all odd hours of the night to get us ladies picles and ice cream and what ever else we wanted. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Sarah Rogue Steel. Asa is putting her to bed now, she is 10 months old, and I have not told Asa yet, but she will be having a brother or sister in the near future. Auntie Sarah, Rahne, an jubes were babysitting while Mommy and daddy went out for some private time....Wink..Wink... The Professor has never been able to help Asa recall anything about his past. He has become stronger, and still worries about the mysterious power he has that defeated a fleet, a Champion, and a orange dragon, he still does not recall how he did it. Well still live at the mansion in our own quaters with it's own small kitchen ect. Soon Jubes, Chamber, Paige and others will be added to the X-men. There are still dangers out there. But lately I have been so happy that I thank God everyday for my family, friends, and a special man that I love a little more each day. I am at peace. No matter what is ahead the X-men will face it together and they will help make the world a little better place for my children and so many others. I pray that God continues to watch over us all. He has truly given me my heart's desire. Well this has turned in to a mini-novel so I will stop here, till next time.... The End.
