( Mutant Equations (

AN: Hey people! Chapter five and its only been.. three days? Lol well anyways hope you enjoy.

Danielle headed down the stairs accompanied by the gawking Evan, she smiled mentally about that. She spotted Ororo, her mother's real name was Ororo Monroe not 'Storm', and pulled him into the kitchen. "Need any help?"

"Yea, why don't you two cut up some salad. Or was there anything else you wanted to make?" Ororo said briefly in between cooking.

"Yea, Evan can do that. Can't you? I am going to start on some cheesecake." She left Evan, who was glaring a hole in her back, and found all the needed ingredients. The others, as she was told, were going to come in an hour, she could be done by that time. She started mixing the ingredients, humming. Soon it turned to singing.

"Have you ever seen such a beautiful night

I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright

When I see you smiling I go

Oh oh oh

I would never want to miss this

Cause in my heart I know what this is

Hey now, hey now

This is what dreams are made of

Hey now, hey now

This is what dreams are made of

I've got

Somewhere I belong

I've got

Somebody to love

This is what drea...ms

Are made of.."

Soon she was joined by her cousin, his voice wasn't anywhere like 'Paolo', on the tape, in the movie. It was soft but manly, not that high and not that squeaky.

" (Evan)

(Danielle)

This is what dreams are made of."

They finished and Danielle popped the cheesecake into the oven as Ororo clapped. "You guys should make a band." They blushed and continued with their work. An hour later the door slammed as the rest of the X-men kids came home. Danielle felt jittery, like going to a new school ~Damn, I get that tomorrow.~ She glanced up at Evan who just pulled her forward, apparently he wanted to introduce them or something.

"Hey who are you?" A young boy, or was it three of them? Or four? Came up to them, his, or their, eyebrows raised.

"This is Danielle, she is a new recruit. Very nice greeting Jamie." Evan said looking at the boy as the rest of the crowd wondered over.

"I'm Katherine Pryde." Kitty said as she shook hands with Danielle. "Ah'm Rogue." "I'm Bobby" "Scott Summers." "Jean. Jean Grey." And so it went while everyone introduced themselves to Danielle.

"Oh, and Danielle is my cousin." Spyke mentioned at the end which sent a surprised murmur. Storm came up behind the two. Letting everyone compare them, smiling blankly.

"Storm? Did you forget to tell us anything?" Logan asked coming down the stairs. He was smiling.

"Nothing that was meant for you to hear." Storm replied coldly, Wolverine shrugged.

"Hey Danielle? Auntie O.? Are we going to go to the restaurant or what?" Evan broke the silence, Dani turned to him and smiled gladly.

"Okay. Who wants to go out for Thai?" Storm asked the small crowd of X-men kids. After a minute spent of arguing with people expessing such things as: "I don't eat Thai." "Nope, I'd rather be alone." "I have too much homework." "Damn! Why is the project due tomorrow?"

Storm got really annoyed and added to her sentence. "Who wants to go, raise your hands." Only seven shot upward. They turned out to be Danielle, Evan, Rogue, Kurt, Scott, Kitty and Amara. "Well lets go then."

*** @ Restaurant ***

"Lets eat!" Danielle said before taking a huge bite out of her share of Chicken Satays, and accompanying it with a gulp of Thai Iced Tea. They didn't talk much and the only thing they did was ask about how she grew up and stuff, she didn't want to be treated differently than any of the other people. When they were about to check out the iron doors flew open and someone in a weird helmet came in. Immediately two knifes flew fast in the direction of Storm and Spyke. Danielle got up and tried to prevent it from hitting her mother by putting a plate in front of her, quickly, however, the knife flew right through it leaving the pieces in the girls hands. Blood speckled the white table cloth as the girl screamed out, but before she could cry she turned around and jumped grabbing the knife headed for Evan in her teeth. It felt weird, as if she wasn't herself anymore. When she got to the floor she turned around as saw her mothers head hit the table, right away she saw spikes, fire, and laser beams shoot in the direction of the murderer. Danielle ran over to Storm's seat and knelt down by her, clutching her cold arm hopelessly, tears streaming down her face. ~That's it, one day and now my mother is dead.~
