Evolution: Father of Mine
Chapter 2: New mutants
I hope to make the chapters ending up longer and longer as the last one was kind of short. Also the first one was really rushed so I would like to say I'm sorry. As for the Chapter 2 shall we get started?
The X-van came roaring down the hill and screeching past the gates nearly pulling them off the hinges as the van then slid into a parallel position with the front gate Logan sprung from the drivers side door "Chuck! Get McCoy down here!" Logan yelled as circled around to the side door and carefully handled the near death kid while Scott managed to pull the unconscious mystery girl from the van as Kurt managed pull Rogue from the van barely.
"Ummm...daddy don... .ie." the mysterious girl muttered in Scott's arms as he laid her on one of the three stretchers that had been wheeled out. Rogue, the boy known as Nathan, and the mysterious girl were quickly whisked off to the medical ward of the mansion were Dr. McCoy worked tirelessly on Nathan. It was bad, very bad, but thankfully the kid was strong in fact it looked like the van was in worse condition than he was. That was beside the point hank thought, if he didn't get those ribs set carefully this child would die.
In the foyer the four remaining teens that had witnessed, if not contributed to, the accident worried about the new patients. Scott was pacing on the floor while Kurt hung his head in shame. Both of them could not believe that they might have contributed to the death of a stranger. The girls had something different on their minds, what bothered them was the reaction the girl had to the action wondering if they would have acted the same if Kurt or Scott had been in that accident. They told themselves it wouldn't happen, but really there was no way of telling and they knew this very well. As for the moment everyone just continued to silently ponder such things as demons are made of. Finally, three hours later, Dr. McCoy walked into the foyer. He was covered from head to toe in blood and most of it was crusted into his fur. "Dr. McCoy what happened?" Scott inquired hastily as the large cat-like beast plopped down on the couch from exhaustion.
"Hm? Oh Rogue and the girl are going to be fine with a little rest; as for the kid you hit he's in bad condition but I expect him to pull through in a few days."
"That is good to hear!" Kurt perked up "Can we see them?" he asked; but just as Hank McCoy was about to answer the question Ororo, also known as Storm, rushed in interrupting the conversation.
"Hank, I think you should see this." She stammered out as everyone went running to the medical rooms "He regained consciousness and then started healing at an extremely fast rate, I'd say faster than Logan"
"Quiet, you're breaking my concentration!" The boy choked out in a gurgled voice his eyes still closed. Within minutes the boy opened his eyes and sat up on the bed as if nothing had happened. His eyes quickly scanned the surprised audience "Where's Progeny? Where's my sister? Where's Progeny?"
Dr. McCoy was the first to speak up." If you mean the girl that was protecting you she's in the next room sleeping."
The boy visibly sighed a sigh of relief then brought his eyes to Scott and then everyone else "My name is Nathan Grey Summers" He introduced himself.
Meanwhile, Rogue and Progeny were finally stirring to consciousness. Slowly they began to roll toward each other both drifting into the other's view. Progeny's eyes were still very much filled with fatigue and dried tears. "Ma..Mom?" she weakly wondered aloud
"Wha..?" Rogue responded just as weakly as she continued to lie in the familiar warm bed
Progeny wiped the hindrances from her eyes and noticed that it was girl about her age "Oh, sorry. Thought you looked familiar." She turned her head sheepishly away from Rogue
"Don worry about it sug" Rogue gestured as she tried to sit up on her bed but failed miserably. As fell back to the laying position she thought of a relevant question "Just what did ya hit me with, Honey? Ah can hardly feel my legs!"
"..."Progeny was silent so Rogue took the opportunity to examine her better as she did she noticed and strange familiarity but she couldn't put her finger on it. The girl was of medium height with pale white skin, and long brown hair with streak of white running down the middle that made her resemble a skunk. Then it hit her "When people touch me," Progeny broke Rogue's train of thought "people get hurt..."
Back with other x-men in the main hall, Nathan Grey Summers had settled himself comfortably onto the leather couch as if he had lived there his entire life. He smiled at the awe struck on lookers. "Are ya'll going to stare all day or are you going to ask some of the questions that are on your minds?" He inquired as continued his Cheshire grin. "But before you do say anything, yes I am." he stated as a matter of factly in Scott and Jean's direction. Scott looked at Jean and Jean looked at Scott, both bringing out the red in their faces. Finally, Dr. McCoy spoke up releasing a question that was a very relevant question "Why were you in the road in the first place?" He inquired,
"It was a mistake." Nathan answered, "I couldn't tell where I was going to come out."
"Out of where?" asked Kurt
"Let me just explain from the beginning," He took a deep breath "My name is Nathan Grey Summers. I was born right here at the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters. My parents were Jean Grey and Scott Summers."
"You say 'were' as if it was in the past tense." Logan pointed out
"Correct, both myself and Progeny were born about two to four years in the future; give or take." Nathan continued
"Give or take?" asked Scott "Give or take how much? Why don't you know exactly?"
"Because just before we were born, all hell broke lose. You see very shortly from now a mutant, the most powerful mutant on earth, will be awakened." Nathan foretold "We came back to warn you so that you might be able to stop it from awakening."
It was kitty's time to speak up "How did you get back to this time?"
"A very astute question! I don't know how. One minute we were staring down Cerberus' throat; the next I got hit by your van." Nathan explained "that's also a reason I can't tell you about how long from now he's going to appear."
"Cerberus?" McCoy perked up "The Greek hound of hell?"
Just then Rogue plodded into the room from the bowels of medical ward with Progeny in tow. Both were wearing hospital gowns and Rogue looked especially bewildered. "Th...this girl sh..she's..." Nathan shot Rogue a mental image of Jean beating the living waste out of Scott as she stuttered.
"She's what?" gasped Kurt as he ported over to his adopted sister's side.
"Her name's Tessa Marie Summers!" She exclaimed as she quickly changed what was going to come out of her mouth.
"Nathan!" Tessa exclaimed, "I thought you were gone!"
"Tessa calm down, I'm fine." Nathan answered, "I told you you'd never be alone again! So don't worry!"
"Alone? What happened to us?" Jean finally gathered the will to speak up
"You were all killed before we got a chance to know you!" Tessa screamed in the x-men's direction.
End Chapter 2:
Whew! Thought I wasn't going to make it on that one but I did, if you've read this far you can probably already tell that Nathan is Cable/X-man combined, As for Tessa if you can't already tell then you'll just have to wait. (She's an original character so don't waste your time trying to place her from any of the x-men universes.) Oh, and to those that have reviewed already, thanks. For those of you haven't please do. "Love me, hate me; just let me know you're there!"-Owen Wilson
