Back again. This is Talia's last installment here but don't despair! She's in my other

fic The X-Men Revisited. This is going to get angsty so you are forewarned.

"Talia, what happened?" Dad asked. He'd been waiting to ask me until he got the

Blackbird off the ground.

"Brittany and I had a fight." I replied. He let me go at that. He and I both knew

Mikhael would ask when I got home. Mikhael, my twin brother, who I think hates me and

Dad claims loves me more than I know. I guess it's just the fact that I grew up in a

demonic limbo and only Magik was ever there for me. Even she left me sometimes.

I still wonder if she was a figment of my imagination or if she was really there. All

I knew was that she teleported around on discs of light and she treated me like a

daughter. Dad says I've grown up before my time. I guess I have, but I wouldn't know.

"Talia," Dad paused. finding courage to say whatever it was that he was trying to say

he began again, "Talia, you know Jimaine?"

"Ja, why?" I asked. Jimaine was the blonde, Brittany's new aunt apparently.

"Jimaine is..." he trailed off, but I had a couple of ideas as to where this

conversation was headed.

"She's what?" I asked.

"Jimaine is your mother." he said. "Do you want to know the story?"

*Laughs insanely* Aren't I shameless? If you want to know the story, it's chapter

four of my other fic. My fics are tied together, although you don't need to read this

to understand the other.
