The rest of her afternoon was pretty uneventful. She didn't get into a
lot of trouble with Rogue because Jackson didn't show up for the test
either. After all of her classes were done, Lily decided to go to her room
to study. On her way there, she bumped into Logan.
"Lily, the Professor wants to speak to you. Pretty soon, he sounded like."
"Did I do something wrong?"
"He didn't say." Lily's palms were sweating as she walked to the Professor's office. Once there, she waited outside until the door slowly opened and Jackson stepped out.
"Hey," was all he said.
"Am I in trouble?"
"What do you mean?"
"Logan told me the Professor wanted to see me but didn't say why."
"Well, he didn't tell me anything." Just then, the Professor called her in.
"Good luck," Jackson told her as she walked into the office.
"Lily, nice to see you. Won't you have a seat?"
"Thank you," she replied.
"To answer your question, you are not in trouble. Some information has been made available to me that pertains to you."
"What kind of information?" Lily asked skeptically.
"I know that Dr. Grey knew who your mother was. I am also aware that you almost discovered that information as well. We recently discovered a book of Dr. Grey's patient notes and in it was the information about your mother."
"You mean, you know who she is?"
"Yes." Lily sat in stunned silence. She had since convinced herself that such information would never become available and had accepted it. This twist in events was unexpected.
"Who is she?" Lily finally asked.
"A mutant named Mystique. We have encountered her many times. She is an associate of Magneto's. She has even broken into Cerebro before, several months ago."
"Wait, so my mom is a bad guy?"
"In a way of speaking, yes. She is a fighting for a worthy cause, freedom for mutants, but in the wrong way. She is a member of the group that believes all normal humans should be destroyed." Lily sat, trying to soak it all in. It was almost too much.
"Lily, it isn't like that," The Professor blurted out. Lily had almost forgotten that he was a telepath, like her. "Her beliefs do not reflect on you. Just because she is a 'bad guy' doesn't make you one."
"You're not telling me everything."
"You're very perceptive. I have told you all you need for now. If you have any questions, I'll answer them with the understanding that there are some things you must discover for yourself."
"Thank you, sir." With that, Lily got up in a daze and left the room. Logan entered a few moments later.
"So you told her that we found a notebook. I didn't know you lied to students so easily."
"This is a delicate situation. I promised all parties involved that I would handle this delicately."
"You know, the report said she had two sons, but no daughter was reported."
"Well, mistakes are made every day."
"How does Kurt feel about all this?" Logan asked, quizzically.
"He asks that we watch her closely. She may run."
"I've got that taken care of. She couldn't leave if she wanted to."
"Good. Then our work is done for now."
A/N-Dun dun dun!! I know this was kind of a short chapter, with all the dialogue; I'll make it up to y'all. Oh, and questions have been raised about Kurt's accent. I figured everyone would assume that his accent was there, but I guess not. Sorry about the confusion. He has an accent and it is very thick, but I'll tell you that if I were to try and sit down and figure out the phonetic spelling for everything he says, it would take a long time, so you guys can just use your imaginations. Thanks for all the reviews. Let me know how you like the way the story is going. I'm not sure how long I'm going to make it, but I think it would be cool to see her go all the way through High School, depending, of course, on X3 and all. Well, se y'all next time!
