Thanks so much for the reviews fifol! In this chap Mystique will be singing
a heart touching song. Sorry if it's a really short one and I don't think
anyone knows it. I got this one from our play "Honk" modern version of the
ugly duckling, which will be presenting on June 4.
She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in her room. Everything seemed normal. The place was just the way it was but last night seemed to be a DREAM! She tried to recall last night but had no clue what happened. She checked her clock and for the first time she had woke up on a 10:30 Monday morning. It seemed so weird. How long had she been sleeping. She never slept that long ever. She got out of bed and changed to her casual outfit, red sleevless hoodie shirt, kahki cargos and her orang converse sneakers. The teens were already in school she thought and breakfast was gone after an hour ago.
She walked out of her room and heard someone crying from Kurt's room. It couldn't be him cause it sounded like a little girl. It must've been Muriel but what was she doing there all alone? The door was slightly opened and Pep just took a peek. She was staring at the two pictures that were one of Kurt's posession, her tears dripping on them especially the picture of Kurt and Rogue looking like close siblings. Pep was about to take a step in the room but was shocked to see the young 6-year olds body transform into a sexy lady with blue skin, yellow piercing eyes, bloody red hair wearing black spandex. It couldn't be! Like the way Kurt explained it, it was no other than Mystique, his cruel mother who had betrayed him and Rogue. Pep didn't move a muscle, so the whole time she was in disguise of a little girl. What for, was she going to steal something from the institute and activate Defcon 4 or was it something from soft side? The poor mother stood up to her feet with endless tears streaming from her blue cold face. Another shocking thing happened, she started humming something and a few words came out from her mouth.
EVERYTIME I TURN AROUND
I EXPECT YOU TO APPEAR
EVERYONE MY CALL MY NAME
BUT IT'S YOUR VOICE THAT I HEAR
(A flashback runs through her mind. It was a dark and stormy night and wrapped in a torn blanket, she carries a new-born babe and ran with it being chased hungry wolves and a flying man. She kept running until she was stuck on a bridge and the nightmare she had been waiting for, happens, the wolves attack her and drops her beloved baby down, deep into the cold rushing river.)
EVERY MOMENT THAT YOU'RE GONE
IS A MOMENT DARK AND GREY
EVERY TEAR A MOTHER CRIES
IS A DREAM THAT'S WASHED AWAY
(Another flashback with Rogue runs through her mind, she sees a beautiful, 17 year old woman, with brown hair and white streaks as her bangs wearing gothish clothes (whatever you call them). She is in the form of a girl name Ritsy and becomes close friends with her daughter. Until the day at the concert where Rogue goes out of control with her powers and accidentally touches Mystique and blows her cover.)
EVERDAY WILL SEEM TO BE
MORE EMPTY THAN THE LAST
EVERYWHERE THE SUN ONCE SHONE
A SHADOW HAS BEEN CAST
EVERY MOMENT THAT YOU'RE GONE
IS A MOMENT DARK AND GREY
EVERY TEAR A MOTHER CRIES
IS A DREAM THAT'S WASHED AWAY
(Pep realizes what she's talking about and tears form in her bright red eyes. She is also feeling guilty and hurt. She knows how painful her life can be with her parents dead, never to be seen ever again.)
EVERY MOMENT SEEMS AN HOUR
EVERY HOUR LASTS A DAY
EVERY TEAR A MOTHER CRIES
IS A DREAM THAT'S WASHED AWAY
(She imagines herself living hapilly ever after running in the park with her children both grown up but the thought suddenly disappears. After all these years she has failed with raising her only children who hate her.)
EVERY TEAR A MOTHER CRIES
IS A DREAM THAT'S WASHED AWAY...
After a while she tured her head and wass surprise to see Pep sitting right next to her on the bed. "What are you doing here!" she growled.
Pep was still choking with tears. "I'm sorry if I disturbed you...Mystique."
"Get out of here!" she ordered.
Pep didn't even flinched. She just stared deep into Mystique's eyes with her famous puppy red eyes. Even for an evil person it seemed to affect her cold heart.
"Why are you crying child?" she seemed to have calmed down for really fast.
"I know how you feel with your son and daughter." She turned her head away.
"How did you know about that?"
"Kurt told me...everything!" she broke her promise.
"My son told you about me?"
"Yeah how you treated them and everything."
Mystique just kept quite and kept her eyes on the crying child then after a while spoke. "So youre crying about that?"
"Not really...I just miss my family, I bet you do."
"Of course." She felt the pain get worse.
"Well youre lucky cause I'm never seeing mine again." Fire had been forming in her bright red eyes.
"You should never think that way child."
"Its Pep!" flames appeared from nowhere and started spreading.
"I've been hearing about your powers, and I bet you've had a hard time controlling it." She didn't even mind that the room was burning hot.
Pep closed her eyes and extinguised the flames. "I can control it!" She opened her bright red eyes and saw the destruction she caused to Kurt's room.
"You learn quickly." She smiled for the first time.
"Kurt's gonna kill me for this." The lil explosive groaned.
"How is the young boy?" Raven was really curious.
"He's fine and why are you being so nice!" Pep sounded suspicious.
"Why, would you want me to kill you again?"
"Yes...I mean no! I know what youre trying to do!"
"And since youre so smart what is it?"
"Youre gonna try and use me to do evil cause of my powers!"
Mystique gave a laugh. "Well I wasn't thinking of doing that and I wouldn't want a pathetic brat like you anyway."
"Oh really." She folded her arms and fire glowed in her eyes again.
"I've decided to take a break and you know spend time with my kids."
"You mean as a kid that's so pathetic. You know what's better, why don't you try spending time with them as a mother you used to be!"
"I am still there mother!" she seemed to lose her temper but calmed down again.
"So that's the reason why you came here?"
"One of them."
"What's the other?"
"Why should I tell a useless girl like you."
"Lemme guess your gonna use Cerebo and activate Defcon 4."
"And why would I do something as stupid as that."
"I dunno cause you're an evil lady." Pep bit her lip and hid the giggle that was popping out of her mouth.
"Just be happy I'm not in a mood to kill you now." She sounded serious.
"You tried to kill me?"
"Oh I am so sorry, Ms. Jean Grey had erased your memories the other night." Mystique explained.
"She did! What for!" Pep freaked.
"Nevermind you wouldn't want to know."
"Tell me or else!"
"Or else what, you'll blow me to pieces." She sounded scared.
"I can do that right now!" Pep stood and concentrated on Mystique.
"Oh go ahead, kill the mother of her two children who failed to raise them. I deserve it anyway."
Pep rolled her eyes and wished she just did. "I hate it when people do that."
"Why do let your soft side stand in your way child hmm?"
"Because it's right and I'm doing it for the sake of my parents." The flames disappeared from her eyes.
"I knew you were one of them."
"I guess that's why Kurt and Rogue chose to stay with the X-men and now look where you end up!"
"Youre right all these years I couldv'e been living in peace with them." She sighed.
"Then what brought you to be evil?"
"I was used...by Magneto." Her eyes flashed.
"Magneto who's he?" Pep was dying to know and thought Mystique could be the only person who could tell her.
"What the hell does Xavier teach you here? You don't know who he is?"
"Man I just wish, if I was a little older."
"Then you should have the right to now."
"So you'll tell me!" she beamed.
"Sigh. He's a an evil bastard who uses mutants and never gives us anything in exchange."
"Like you?"
"I started working for him way before Kurt was born. He ruined my life, first he mutated my son, my only son and almost got him killed!"
"So Kurt would have looked better...I mean no offense to him."
"Quiet!" she snapped.
"Sorry."
"He was lucky to survive and was found in the hands of a German couple and I bet they were even better off raising him." A tear fell from her eye.
"Tissue?" Pep offered her a box of cleenex and Mystique took one and blew her nose and didn't even say thank you but Pep didn't care.
"Kurt said they were great parents but he really wanted to know the truth..."
"As I was saying!" she interrupted. Pep just had to accept her rude attitude. "Years later, he assigned me to lead a group of pathetic morons who couldn't even do a single thing since their..." she slammed her fist into the wall and a crack appeared.
"Ya mean the Brotherhood?" Pep guessed easily.
"How dare you mention that vile word!" she growled.
"What?" Pep said in a joking matter.
"You just said it!"
"Brotherhood..."
"Shut up, I don't want to here that word again or else...or else...!" she brought a fist up, then slowly put it down.
'I have no idea what's up with her?' Pep looked worried. "Er Mystique can we get back to your story?" She suggested.
Hearing this the women got back to her senses and continued on. "I tried recruiting Rogue into the Brotherhood but Xavier just managed to steal her!"
"That's his job." Pep sighed.
"Then I heard that Kurt had been with them, before I even formed the...nevermind. I had to let him know the truth but Magneto ordered those numbskulls to ruin everything!"
"Ouch!"
"I would have killed him if only I knew where he was! So I pretended to be Xavier and let the X-men and...those morons join forces to defeat him once and for all!" she said in her famous evil tone.
"And..." Pep was looking annoyed.
"No more interruptions!" she snapped.
"Ok..."
"He used four of his lackeys to attack but that didn't help."
"Sorry to interrupt but can I know who the four lackeys are?" Pep pleaded.
"Very well, their names were Pyro, Gambit, Collusus and Sabertooth."
"Sabertooth!" Pep freaked. "He was the puss who tried to kill Logan and I blew his butt that day!" she said in proud tone.
Mystique was impressed hearing that Pep was able to knock out poor Victor. "And you wouldn't believe his son betrayed us all."
"Magneto has a son?"
"And a daughter who I just recruited to...forget it!"
"But I never saw a girl there. I only know Todd, Fred, Pietro and Lance."
"You know pretty much about them do you?"
"Yeah I've spent a whole day with them and it was really fun but the Prof said they were the baddies." Pep explained. "It's not fair how come Kitty and Lance have dates?"
Mystique gave a laugh. "My, Xavier has been very overprotective with you."
"Duh he wouldn't even let me go out on missions and have daily DR sessions." Pep folded her arms.
"You poor child."
"Its Pep for the last time!"
"Youre much of a rebel than I thought."
Great Mystique was also getting on her nerves. "Uh what were you singing?" she changed the subject.
"Didn't you understand the song?"
"Well not really but I gotta say you guys come from the same family."
"What do you mean?"
"Rogue is a great singer when you catch her alone and Kurt just sang something really touching a few nights ago."
Raven felt proud that her family were singers and was giving second thoughts to the child. "What was Kurt singing?" she already knew the taste of Rogue's music when she was still in her disguise as Ritsy.
"I don't think ya know it, Emotionless by Good Charlotte. He sang it really well because he singing it for...for..." she stopped.
"For what?" Raven was really curious.
"Look Mystique, Kurt's been having family issues like me and he was singing it...for you."
"How does the song go?" she was teary eyed already.
"I'm not much of a singer but here goes..."
Raven was listening to every word Pep sang even though she went out of tune. She was thinking maybe it wasn't a good idea to kill Pep anymore. There was just something in her that calmed her down and warmed her frozen heart. She knew if she gave her trust Pep would trust her in return and felt comfortable to talk with. She never felt so relaxed before and getting to know Pep was part of her plan to get answers from the questions that had been kept for so many years. She also felt her pain of both her parents gone and was acting like a mother to her but she tried not to think about that. All she could think about now were her children. Maybe the child could be some help after all.
I know its shocking that Mystique is acting that way. I feel really bad for the women. Tell me what you think and I need your help guys! How can Mystique get her children to forgive her? Pls review. Thanks.
She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in her room. Everything seemed normal. The place was just the way it was but last night seemed to be a DREAM!
