None of the X-Men are mine. *sigh* Oh well. Hay! At least their kids are!
Forgotten Destiny
Chapter 3
Bella looked down at the strange people from the safety of the upstairs hallway poking her head through the banister. As nervous as she felt, it couldn't overshadow her curiosity. She could feel that something big was going to happen. Not just in her gut, but in the emotions around her.
Downstairs: "Sorry to barge into your home so late at night, but we felt the situation is urgent," Professor Xavier apologized again. "It's quite alright," Jean-Luc, Remy's father, assured the 7 people in his living room, "but I'm still not quite sure why you're here. How would this school of yours help my granddaughter? How did you even find her?" "First off, I run a school for gifted youngsters. Mutants who can't control their powers can find control and safety. Second, I found out about your granddaughter's gift through a machine I have Cerebro. It finds people who made be having trouble with their powers." "But as Ah told you before, Bella isn't having any trouble with her powers." "Yes not yet," responded Jean, "but I can speak from experience. If someone with mental powers does get the proper training soon after their powers emerge, the results can be devastating." "Ah understand what you're saying, but both her parents are mutants. Why can't they handle this? One of them is even an empathy," he smiled, "among other things. And her mother deals with mental blocks all the time." "Still, it would be in Bella's best interest if she went to our school. Even for just a little while," Scott tried to reason. "Could we talk with her parents?" "Of course. But Ah don't believe the answer will be any different. There, here they come now." In walked in two people who looked like emotionally they had had better days. The man made all the girls in the room look twice. Sure his red eyes got anyone's attention, but his chiseled features and unruly brown red hair were what caught their eye. When his wife followed though was when they got the shock of the day. He sharp green eyes and white locks were all two familiar. "Rogue?" Marie's head snapped up at the mention of that name. "Rogue, you have been here all the time." "What happened to you Rogue?" "I can't believe it Rogue!" "Ah-Hem," interrupted Professor Xavier. "But I think we should all clam down." He could see how scared she was. Right now she was clutching her head. With a quick mental scan, his fears were confirmed. She didn't even know who she used to be, let alone who they all where. "Rogue." "MARIE!" she shouted. "MY NAME IS MARIE!" With that she ran out of the room. Her husband shot a confused look at the people in his home before running after his wife. There was a silence in the room. "I think," Jean-Luc injected, "that we have more to talk about than ever imagined."
Marie was sitting on the pink bed spread in her daughter's room, hugging Kitty, a doll that Bella got from her on her 3rd birthday. Nothing made sense anymore. She wasn't sure of anything. "My name's Marie," she said to herself. "I'm Marie" "I'm Bella." With that statement, the 4 year old climbed up on the bed. "Honey, Mommy just wants to be alone right now." "I know." 'Of course,' she thought with a smile to herself. As scared as she was about her daughter becoming a mutant and getting all the responsibilities that come with it, she was proud of her. "I know you know," Rogue half smiled. "So could you go with your dad right now?" "No." "Why not?" Bella laughed, "Because this is my room, silly." And with that logic, she was here to stay. "I'm sorry your friends made you upset." "There're not my friends," said Rogue quietly. "Good. I don't want to go to their school anyways." "What school?" "A mutant one, but I don't want to leave you and dad." She jumped up and hugged her mom to magnify the point. "Don't worry sweetie. You don't have to go anywhere." "Good." Marie just sat there holding her daughter, her own problems forgotten for a moment. "Oh! I have something for you." With that Bella reach in her overall pocket and pulled out the medium sized X metal. "It's a medallion." "For what? "Your past." Rogue smiled at her daughter. "And how do you know that?" "Those people down there have them too, same as the people in the dream." Rogue just stared at the metal plate, trying to will herself to remember something, anything. When she woke up from the accident 7 years ago, and didn't remember anything, it was terrible. Words couldn't state how much she wanted her past back. Then she got to know the Thief's Guild, and they became her family. As long as she had them, her past didn't matter anymore. But now her past was shoved into her present and nothing made sense anymore. Rogue was roughly brought out of her thoughts with her daughter's crying. "What's wrong sweetheart?" She was hugging Bella, rocking her back and forth. "You're so sad, and, and, I feel it in my head!" Rogue had momentarily forgot about her daughter's problem and kicked herself for it. "It's okay sweetie. You're just different, like me and daddy." That got her to stop crying. She always thought her parents powers were 'soooo cool!' Now she had superpowers too. Her problem a minute ago was forgotten. "Does this mean I can blow things up?!" Asked Bella excitedly. Rogue half laughed under her breath, "Dear God I hope not." "This was the last thing I expected." Logan had been pacing the room since Rouge had run out. He wanted to run after Rogue, but was stopped be the professor. "I think this is the last thing anyone expected," said Charles. "We should have kept looking for her after the accident," Scott shouted, mostly to himself. He knew from personal experience that a person could be gone for the longest time, but that doesn't mean they are out for the count. "We did all we could," chimed in Kitty. There is no one here to blame. "Yeah well, I should have been looking." With that Logan stormed out of the room. Logan walked down the hall, taking in the home. He had to admit to himself, Rogue seemed to be doing pretty good. It killed him that she didn't remember them. Rogue was like a sister to him. He was supposed to look out for her and bombed big time. How would this ever become right again? He turned a corner and felt something bump against his knees. "Er..Hi" The little girl looked up at him. "Hi. My name is Bella" "Ah.I'm Wolverine." Bella scrunched up her nose and stated in her little kid way, "That's not a real name!" "Sure it is, just like Bella." She thought about this new information for a minute, and then just shrugged her shoulders. "Do you know where my dad is?" "No sorry." Thinking the conversation was over; he started to more past her. "Wait!" she cried. Logan stopped and turned around. "Aren't you going to help me find him?" Logan sighed. "Sure kid lets go." He started walking away, but when he noticed she wasn't following he turned back around. "Well?" Bella raised her arms over her head. "Please Wovie?" Logan gave laughed and gave her a rare smile.
