"shall we go back to the mansion then" Jean asked, looking round at Belle, Joshua and Sabretooth
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 7 - The Appearance
"The mansion? Like a big house? Are we all going then?" Belle asked Jean, knowing what the answer would be.
"You can't all stay in the mansion but i know a place where your friends could stay." Professor Xavier answered as he entered the alleyway with Storm, Kitty and the rest in tow.
"Who are you and where do you want to take us?" Belle was very suspicious, she could tell that Sabre...her dad didn't like these people and so she decided that she wouldn't trust them yet until they had earned it. Her thoughts were pulled away from this by the pain that had been growing in her back since last night. She vaguely heard the professor answer with something about knowing a person who owned a very good orphanage in the same town as the mansion, the part of Belle that was still concentrating decided that this sounded better than them all starving in an alley and maybe they could help Joshua and get rid of her back pain, so she agreed. Oliver, however, insisted on staying with her. The professor allowed this and decided to lead the way back to...
"The jet!!! As in a plane jet?" Oliver was becoming very excited at the prospect of flying. There was of course one slight problem, "How are we all going to fit in, it can't be that big otherwise you'd have had to land in an airport and that's ages away."
The professor of course had an answer for this but Belle didn't hear it as a shooting pain ran up her back and she had to catch her breath suddenly to stop from passing out. She fell back only to find herself being caught by her dad and carried the rest of the way to the deserted ball park where the black jet was idling. Belle didn't remember anything else as another stabbing pain caused her to pass out.
############&&&&&&&&&##########
Victor looked over at his daughter who was standing next to him, she looked as if she was in her own little world and it looked and sounded painful. He could hear her taking gasps of pain every so often and it didn't sound good. He looked towards the professor and saw a look of concern cross his face as well. Suddenly he felt a gentle tug on his coat and looked down to be greeted by the sight of Joshua looking up at him.
"What do you want, titch?" he growled
"If you're Belle's daddy, can you help her?" the little kid asked, not at all phased by Sabretooth's show of his sharp teeth.
Victor looked down at him and slowly nodded. The others began to move off, Victor bent down and, with almost everyone watching him, he picked Josh up and placed him on his shoulder making sure that he wouldn't fall. Joshua clung on for dear life and Sabretooth soon found that the kid had decent balance and could perch there without any help. Victor kept a close eye on Belle and was soon glad he did when she suddenly collapsed with a loud gasp of pain, Creed caught her before she hit the floor and slowly picked her up and cradled her in his arms noting that she was still barely conscious. As they neared the jet Belle took another gasp of pain and fell into unconsciousness. Victor then panicked and, handing Joshua to Storm he ran ahead to the jet so that she could get some medical attention from the 'doc' who was already there with his medical gear ready. In the background he heard Oliver trying to calm down the panicking children but didn't care as he ran into the jet and laid his daughter out on the stretcher bed located at the back of the jet.
Hank quickly rushed to her side and was considering getting Victor out of the way but thought better when he saw that he was holding her hand and looking at him as if daring him to even think about asking him to leave his daughter's side. Sighing he got to work on his patient first of all giving her a check over to try and find any visible signs of what could actually be causing the pain. Charles came over to look as well when Hank decided to turn her over. Victor took off her jumper and noticed that she was wearing a strappy top, *easier to check her back then* Hank thought, turning her over. As soon as she was on her front they noticed what could be causing the problem. On her back were two straight line bruises starting around her shoulder blades and ending at the bottom of her back.
"Holy sh!t, what are those?" Sabretooth asked, he was incredibly angry and hoped that whoever had caused them had suffered a slow, painful death because he didn't want to have to search the whole city for them.
"Victor, remember when you told me about her mother being of half angel blood?" Charles asked.
"Yeah, what about it?" Victor asked curiously, then it hit him, "She's growing wings?!?! Why now, shouldn't she have been born with them or something?"
"I don't know for sure but I'm guessing that because she's not a full blood angel her wings don't grow until later. Now is later." Xavier answered, taking a stab in the dark.
Victor looked at his daughter's back and could have sworn that the bruised areas had become more prominent.
"How long until they're fully developed?" he asked, looking at Professor Xavier. He just shook his head, admitting that this was something he didn't know anything about.
Sabretooth looked at the other occupants of the jet, Oliver and Joshua were looking at Belle hoping that she would get better and soon be back to her joking self, Hank and Charles were with him around Belle and Logan was flying the jet. They had left the others with the children until they came back with the jet and the mini bus. Victor found himself napping at Belle's side when he felt someone climb up into his lap and snuggle into his chest, looking down he saw that Joshua had quickly fallen asleep in his lap, *So what, I'm now a kid's cuddly toy?* he thought before deciding that Josh posed no danger there and he went back to napping ready to move if Belle woke up.
The jet soon landed at the mansion and the jolt woke up the three sleepers, Oliver had fallen asleep just after Joshua. Victor slowly lifted Josh off his lap so that he wouldn't wake him and handed him over to a very annoyed looking Logan. Hank carried Oliver in and Sabretooth picked up Belle, careful not to bang her back or jolt her awake. He was the last to leave the jet and soon wished that he had stayed in there as the remaining students gathered round the newcomers. Creed looked over to Josh and soon became rather annoyed with the students as they were talking loud enough to nearly wake him up. Growling he swiftly walked over to where Logan was trying to clear a pathway and helped him out by scaring the students away.
They soon made their way to the hospital lab and Belle was gently placed on one of the comfortable beds where she would be staying until her wings had developed properly. Sabretooth had ordered a bed to be made up next to Belle's so that he could be there all the time, ready to help her when she woke up.
Hank busied around sorting out all the medical equipment that he may need. Sabretooth watched all of this with great interest whilst he was lying on the bed. Hank then went over to the hospital bed that Joshua was sleeping on with Oliver lying on the bed next to him. Hank decided that he would wake Joshua up first to do the check-up and get it over and done with. He gently shook the little child's shoulders and then proceeded to try and get him to be quiet as the child started screaming after seeing him. Sabretooth got up and walked over to the child, gently picking him up and rocking him, trying to calm him down. Joshua, after seeing who it was, settled down and made himself comfortable in Creed's arms and sucking his thumb.
"can't you even comfort an upset kid anymore, Doc?" Sabretooth growled towards Hank over Josh's head. Hank just stood there stunned and then shook his head.
"Yes, well, could you just place him on the bed so I can take a look at him." Hank asked politely.
Sabretooth did as he asked but was met by Josh whimpering and wanting to be picked up again.
"look kid, Doc here is gonna make sure your healthy and have nothing wrong with you, afterwards he's gonna give you a lolly. Isn't that right doc?" Sabretooth growled the last part at Hank adding a death stare in for extra measures.
Hank looked rather flustered at this and instantly agreed and then went to get his medical things. Meanwhile Creed turned back to Josh,
"Okay kid, if ya get scared I'll be over there in that bed next to Belle. Ya clear on that?" Josh just nodded his head and Victor turned around and made his way back to the bed passing Hank on the way.
"I never knew you were good with kids Victor." Hank remarked, Sabretooth turned to him and growled his response,
"I do have a daughter, only for the first three years of her life mind, but a guy learns the essentials in that time. Ya tell anyone though an' I'll rip you to little shreds." With that he turned back around and lay down on his bed whilst Hank carried on with the check up, making sure that Josh could see the red lollipop in his top pocket.
##################
Belle was swimming in a dark, endless sea surrounded by the feeling of excruciating pain. For some reason she thought that if she could swim to the surface then the pain would leave her. She watched the air bubbles move up mesmerised by them before coming to her senses and following them. She felt something on her legs trying to pull her down and struggled to free herself from its grasp. She suddenly started to feel more tentacles reach up and cover her legs and they kept on coming, pulling her further and further away from the surface. As one last attempt at breaking free failed she did the last thing that she was able to, she screamed and wouldn't stop. She thrashed out as she felt them crawling over her shoulders and shaking her down into the depths. She opened her eyes but could see nothing, she was being dragged further and further into the sea of pain and could do nothing about, her throat felt sore and she continued to scream, encouraged by the fact that the tentacles around her shoulders were disappearing. Suddenly she heard voices and felt something sharp on her cheek. She blinked and could finally see. She looked up into the worried eyes of her father and she burst into tears.
##################
Victor was awoken by the sound of Belle whimpering and tossing around in her sleep. He got up and was about to reach out and wake her up when suddenly a blood-curdling scream reached his ears, he looked down to see that it was coming from Belle. Victor tried to wake her up by shaking her shoulders but she just thrashed out at him and very nearly threw him at the wall.
"Hank, get your furry blue b*tt here now!" Creed shouted out, turning round only to be met by Hank almost running into him.
"What's the matter with her?"
"She just started screaming and won't wake up!" Sabretooth replied, raising his voice over the noise. He looked over to the other occupants of the room only to see that Oliver was sitting on Josh's bed with Josh curled up on his lap. Turning back he noticed that Belle had opened her eyes but was still dreaming, Creed let go and Hank copied.
"There's only one way to wake someone like this up and that's a good, old fashioned slap." Hank told him.
"Don't you dare slap my daughter!"
"Fine then, you can do it."
"Hit my own child, no!"
"It's for her own good."
"Fine then, but you better be right." Sabretooth sighed, giving in. He raised one hand and looked away so that he wouldn't see himself slapping Belle. After he felt the palm of his hand connect with her cheek he looked back down.
Belle stopped screaming and blinked. She was fully awake now and Victor watched as she burst into tears. Gently he enveloped her into a big hug and just sat with her until she calmed down. As he pushed back the bed covers to cool down her fever his hands brushed over something on her back, they felt rather large and rather feathery. Quickly he turned her over to look at her back and there, sticking out from beneath her hospital gown were two, fully developed, large wings.
##################
Belle calmed down and immediately noticed something strange, the pain had finally gone but in its place was a feeling of something heavy attached to her back. Reaching behind her, her hands came into contact with feather wings, stranger still was the fact that they were a part of her and she could feel anything that was touching them. She looked up at her dad and noticed that he was smiling at her with a look in his eyes that was something like pride.
"You know, you look more and more like your mother." Victor said, aware that he was being watched by everyone else in the room.
Suddenly Belle found herself under attack from two sides. Looking up she saw that Joshua had managed to jump onto her lap and Oliver was hugging her, being careful of her wings. Belle decided to hug back but before her arms could respond all three of them found themselves surrounded by her wings. Joshua laughed as he managed to poke his head out of a gap and started sneezing when a feather tickled his nose. This set them all off into hysterics and everyone was too busy laughing to notice the three people enter the hospital with confusion written over two of their faces.
"I'm glad to see that you are all well." The professor announced from behind, startling them all into silence.
"Ah, Charles, it seems that Miss Creed's wings have decided to appear." Hank explained looking towards Storm and Logan as well.
"Well that is very good news, but we did wonder what was happening down here." Storm replied, looking to the four people grouped together around and on Belle's bed.
"I don't suppose you are well enough to get your own food, are you?" Logan asked Belle.
"Um, well, I could, but what am I going to wear?" Belle asked, indicating to the tie-up gown.
"That shouldn't be a problem. Ororo has already made some clothes for you that should be able to incorporate the wings into them." Charles replied. Ororo brought out the bundle that they had only just noticed she was carrying and untied it. There were some dresses and tops, all of which were backless.
"Oh wow, these are so cool, but what if I need to go out or something, won't people notice my wings?"
"That is why I am preparing a holographic image inducer watch for you to wear outside of this mansion. You will just have to be careful about people banging into the wings and feeling them there." Xavier replied, "Now how about we leave you to get changed and then we can all go upstairs for lunch. Many of the students are still at school so it shall give you time to adapt and make your room comfortable for you."
"Hey Chuck, Shouldn't kitty go back where he belongs?" Logan asked, indicating towards Sabretooth.
"Not if he promises to behave, I wouldn't want to be responsible for parting a family, would you?" Xavier asked, not expecting an answer, "Now, shall we all leave her to get changed. Joshua, would you like to come and have a chat with me in my office?" Charles asked, Joshua grudgingly made his way over and found himself being lifted to sit in the professor's lap. Joshua decided that he liked this man and made himself comfortable.
Meanwhile everyone else made their way outside to wait for Belle to be ready, Logan and Storm were keeping a wary eye on Creed in case he tried anything but he just sat down quietly next to Oliver.
Inside Belle was manoeuvring the backless dress over her wings in case they caught. When this was done she went over to the mirror and, not finding a hairbrush, ran her fingers through her hair, being sure to cover her pointed ears. Finally deciding that she looked passable she made her way out the doors to make her way upstairs.
As the doors opened and she stepped out all eyes looked at her, her dad looked proud but Belle noticed that everyone else looked slightly shocked. Knowing that this shock was aimed towards her she felt her cheeks turn red and started to act shy, hoping for some help from her dad or Oliver. Help did eventually come in the shape of both of them leading her up to the kitchen for lunch and telling her how good she looked.
