I've been looking at my fic lately and I realised something.
Kurt:And ve probably don't want to know what it is
I'm going in a completely different direction than I was planning. So I'm gonna have to re-write my summaries!! UGH!!!
Yuga:*gently pats authoress on the back* poor, poor abiou. All that work, plus being sick
Shut the hell up, Yugorana.
"Ok, is there a reason you got us up at two in the morning?"Toad rubbed his eyes sleepily,"The least you coulda' done is wake up Wanda too."
"I'm not gonna get my brother killed."Vega rolled her eyes,"I had to elf wake you up so I could warn you."
Lance rolled his eyes,"I smell a lecture."
"Can it Lance."Vega hissed,"We all know we have to go back to school tommorow, don't start Toad, and there's bound to be mutant haters there. The school board is also going to be keeping an eye on us. In a week or two they're going to call a board meeting to decide wether or not mutants are going to be allowed to stay in BHS, so you idiots need to do a little something called BEHAVE!"
"Why should we even worry about school?"Toad asked,"It's not like it'll even matter. We'll get beaten up anyway."
"You forget who you're talking to."Kitty shook her head,"Between Lance and Vega, the only one who'll get beaten up is Duncan and his friends."
"Too true."Kurt smirked.
Vega nodded,"Matthews is gonna get his sorry butt kicked if he tries anything stupid tomorrow, but that's not my point. My point is that we're going to have trouble tomorrow. I wouldn't be suprised if some idiot brought a gun and tried to use us for target practice. I do NOT want you to cause ANY trouble, understood?"
"But..."Toad began.
"Understood?"Vega snarled.
"Yes ma'am."the brotherhood said quickly.
"Good,"Vega turned to Kitty and Kurt,"if you two really want to stick up for us, that's fine. The ones I'm worried about when it comes to you are Summers and his goody-goody girlfriend, they'll send you on a mega guilt trip, or worse."
"Do we REALLY look like we care?"Kitty lazily slapped Vega,"We're your friends."
Vega looked out the window,"The sun's rising, we'd better get ready for school."
Later that day
Vega walked down the hall, avoiding the angry glares from the other students of Bayville High. She lazily ducked as a rock flew by her head,"You're gonna have to be faster than that, human!"
'Must you insist on throwing insults back?'Kurt mentally whined.
'Oh, shut up, elf.'Vega quickly unlocked her locker and threw her books in,'I've got a headache, besides, mother dearest wants to talk to us.'
'See you there.'
Vega grabbed her sketch book, slammed her locker, and BAMF. She appeared on her mother's desk, making said shape-shifter jump and scatter papers all over the room,"Now, what do you want?" BAMF Kurt appeared behind her. "What took ya so long?"
"Had to find a place to 'port."Kurt shrugged.
"Good, you're both here."Mystique smiled,"But did you really have to land on my desk?"
"Yes."Vega snarled.
Mystique shook her head sadly,"Vega, you're just like your father. Anyway, the reason I wanted you here, well, there are two reasons. The first, as you know, they are going to call a board meeting to decide whether or not mutants will be allowed in school. Vega, I want you to speak at the meeting. You know better than any of us what it's like to grow up and live as a mutant, you'd be perfect."
Vega looked thoughtfully at her sketch book,"You've got a point. Alright, I'll do it."
"Good, now, as for you Kurt,"Mystique turned to her son,"Vega will need all the help she can get prepairing for the meeting, whatever she needs, you are to help her with. Understood?"
"Who died and made you queen?"Kurt snorted,"But I will help Vega, but only because she's my sister."
Mystique shook her head again,"I know I deserved that. I also have a warning for you."
"We're listening."Vega lazily leaned back, resting her head on Kurt's shoulder.
"Magneto,"she replied simply,"he turned you in for a reason."
"No shit."Vega muttered.
"Mostly, he wants to finish what he started."
"You mean the experiments?"Vega said dryly,"How does he intend to get his hands on my brother with me around?"
"Kurt's not the only one he wants."Mystique added.
Vega loast her balance and hit the floor with a thud,"Excuse me?!"
"He wants both you and Rogue."Mystique let out a sad sigh,"He thinks one of you may hold the power of Apocalypse."
"You've gotta be kidding!"Kurt yelped.
Vega rubbed her head angrily,"What he said. What do we have to do with Apocalypse?"
"A lot."Mystique leaned back in her chair,"Kurt, could you go get Rogue, she may want to hear this."
Kurt looked questioningly at his twin,'Location?'
'Up on the roof.'Vega pulled herself to her feet.
BAMF
Vega pulled out her hair tie and let her hair fall down her back,"Why do you want Rogue."
"I'll tell you in a minute."
BAMF Kurt and Rogue reappeared, Roque in mid-question.
".....do you want?"
"Mother?"Kurt said, obvious detest in his voice.
"Yes,"Mystique nodded to three chairs behind them,"you may want to sit down." Roque and Kurt did, while Vega gave her mother a 'there's-nothing-you-can-say-to-freak-me-out' glare. "Fine by me. Where do you want me to start?"
"Try, what the heck Ah've gotta do with this."Roque rolled her eyes.
"Start from the beginning."Vega grunted, crossing her arms.
"Ok, are you sure you don't want to sit down, Vega?" Vega gave another glare. "First of all, there are five of you."
Vega raised and eyebrow,"You have FIVE children? Why does that not suprise me?"
"You three, your older brother, and your baby sister Serena."Mystique explained,"I've been able to keep track of you three, and Serena has been living with me since she was a baby. Your older brother was kidnapped the very night he was born."
Rogue nodded,"Ah think Ah remember somethin' like that."
"Explain how we're in the same grade, then."Vega hissed.
"You and Kurt were born three months premature,"Mystique explained,"so the three of you are just over seven months apart."
Vega snickered,"So, that's why Kurt's brain dead."
"Actually,"Mystique teased,"Kurt was born nearly two hours before you Vega. If either of you suffered brain damage, it would have been you."
It was Kurt's turn to snicker,"Zat would explain her temper."
"Get back to the story."Rogue snapped,"By the way, if ya are mah mother, what's mah name?"
"Alright,"Mystique smiled,"your name is Marie Kira Darkholm. You were born August 30, 1984 in New Orleans. Vega and Kurt were born February 21, 1985 in Germany. Rogue herself was born a month premature, which could explain why she cannot control her powers."
Vega nodded,'That would also explain my little power glitch.'
'You call ZAT a glitch?'Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Back to the story."Mystique looked lovingly at her three children,"When Rogue was born I was afraid her father would take her like he took your older brother, so I left her in a nearby orphanage where I'd be able to keep and eye on her. A few months later I found I was pregnant again, unfortunately, the twins' father had vanished before I could tell him. I went back to Germany to visit my family, and that's where you two were born. There were immediately problems. Vega's lungs weren't fully developed, so she frequently stopped breathing. Not long later we also found she was allergic to the perfume one of the nurses used. Once we got that mess settled, Kurt's problems arose. His brain wasn't fully developed, and began to give out. There was nothing the doctors could do, the only possibility was a brain transplant, and the only compatible brain was Vega's. I was left with a choice, let my son die, or kill my daughter and take a risk where my son only had a fifty percent chance of living."
"Why does that not suprise me?"Vega muttered.
"Then, Magneto came. He made me and offer I couldn't refuse. He said he could save Kurt's life. I was desperate, I took his offer. Vega stayed with me at a hotel while I left Kurt with Magneto. When I came back I saw what Magneto's experiments had done to Kurt, I was furious. You pretty much know the rest of that story. I was so heart-broken over Kurt I abandonned Vega at the orphanage. After that Magneto found me again, and I was forced to become his servant. A few years later Destiny came to me and warned me about Rogue's powers, and, for her safety, I went back and adopted her. When her powers emerged her memory was warped and she forgot everything about me. Five years ago Magneto found Kurt again. I couldn't think of anything else to do to occupy him. I took the form of his late wife."
"One night stand."Vega rolled her amber eyes,"Another no supriser."
"Vega, please."Mystique groaned,"You're a smart-mouth pain, just like your father. But, yes, and Serena was the result of that."
"And, who is our father?"Vega didn't want to admit it, but everything she was hearing was starting to get to her. Her head hurt and her legs were weak.
Mystique looked at her hands,"Rogue and your older brother's father is a man named Victor Creed." Vega sat down on Kurt's arm rest. "As for the two of you, I think I'd better discuss that with him before I tell you, but I will say this. He is Victor Creed's younger brother."
