FAMILY AFFAIRS
CHAPTER 1: WHO AM I? WHAT AM I?
She was being dragged by men in white. She was screaming for her father. But he just stood there. Him and Pietro. Why weren't they doing anything? Why weren't they helping her?
Then she was alone, in the dark. Most of the time she was so afraid, and alone. Then one day he came and tried to help her. But she had been alone for so long in the dark, she was scared and she was angry.
She wanted nothing more then to hurt her father like he had hurt her. Then she saw her father; she was strapped down in a chair this ugly little man was coming close to her. And her father just watched, again.
She could feel him in her head, she wanted to scream but couldn't.
But she did scream, only in the waking world.
Wanda shot up in bed. Sweat coming down her face and breathing heavily. The nightmare was fading again, but it was coming more and more frequent. She didn't understand.
Nothing like that had happened to her. Did it? She felt like she wad losing her mind, she wasn't sure what was real or not. For the past week she had been feeling strange things.
She felt anger at her brother for no apparent reason, and whenever she thought of her father, instead of love like she always did, she felt some deep hatred for him, but didn't know why or where it came from.
She wanted to tell the others about this, but some part of her screamed out not to. Wanda was afraid she was losing it for real. She was also having trouble remembering things. She remembered her and her brother playing in a field but couldn't remember how they got there or what happened after.
One day Fred made said something about how he always enjoyed his birthday back home some times. But when Wanda tried to remember hers they seemed wrong. They all seemed the same. Everyone had her, father, and Pietro gather around her birthday cake, and she made a wish. She seemed happy also.
But EVERY birthday seemed to be that way. Every word, every gesture, it was all the same. It wasn't possible but she couldn't remember it any other way.
It wasn't possible, she knew something was wrong but she couldn't figure out what. She looked over at the clock. It said it was six in the morning, so she lay back onto her bed. She didn't feel like getting up. She couldn't go to sleep either, she wanted to tell someone about all of this, but she was afraid to.
She felt like she didn't know who she was anymore.
Winnipeg - Manitoba
Her name is Gale Hunter. She's about 16 and was just getting up. She stretched and yawned. She slowly got out of bed and walked to the bathroom in the hall. She was washing her face and trying to help wake herself up.
She looked into the mirror and plinked a few times. She closed her eyes and rubbed them. She looked back. "What the Hell?" she gasped. Her hair once a light blonde shoulder length hair was now blue, and her eyes that were once brown were now the same color of blue.
"This is not happening." She said in shock. She pinched herself to make sure it was a dream. She looked around after and saw that it wasn't. There was only one thing she could think off. "DADDY!"
Her father had come running to her. "Gale what's wrong, what did you do to your hair?" His daughter looked at him with a scared expression on her face. "I didn't DO anything, it was just like this when I got up. Besides look at my eyes."
He took a step closer and looked into her eyes, he was shocked to see them the same blue as her hair. She felt something then, a fear but it wasn't from her. Somehow she felt like it was coming outside of her and this was really starting to freak her out.
Her father looked calm, but he seemed to radiate something what was it? Fear? Dread? Sorrow? She didn't understand what was going on. Her father sighed. "You might want to sit down Gale, this is going to be a long talk."
She walked with him into the kitchen in the apartment that they had lived in. It was really just a modest one, but they didn't need much. She sat down by the table and she could literally feel his nervousness.
"There's no easy way to say this...I think...you're a mutant." Her father said. It took a while for it to register. "How do you know that?" She asked. Maybe she put a little too much anger in her voice, but she was pissed.
Everything was getting wired and now it seemed her father had actually know about this? Her father tried to calm her down. "I'm sorry but I wasn't sure whether the X-gene in you would be active or not."
"What did you do? Do a blood test in the clinic?" She asked him. Her father was a doctor that had worked in a clinic not too far from where they lived. She even helped out there ever since she was six. She either wanted to be a doctor like him, or at least a nurse.
"Well after you were born, yes. But I didn't know what to look for until mutants were made public." He said to her a little nervous.
"Wait, how could you have known about mutants if no one else knew when I was born?"
Her father sighed again and looked right at her. "Because your mother was a mutant."
That little bit of information was a surprise. Her mother had died in a car accident when she was ten. She didn't seem to be a mutant, I mean she didn't levitate things, or blow things up with a look.
"Wh-what...was her powers?" She couldn't believe this was happening or that she asked that.
"She was an empath. She could feel the emotions of others." Her father said. Looking back on it she realized that she could never get anything past her mother, and she always seemed to know something was wrong.
Gale just thought she was just a great mom. That she didn't have any powers, but that would explain what she was doing now. Why she suddenly could feel what her father was feeling.
"Dad...I think we need to have a serious talk right now." She said softly to him, and he nodded his head. She felt like she didn't know what she was anymore and it scared her.
BACK AT THE BROTHERHOOD HOUSE
Wanda was finishing her breakfast and put the dirty dishes in the sink. There already was a large pile there, that hadn't been clean in ages.
She was disgusted that these boys never seemed to clean the place, ever. She really hated this place, but there was nowhere else for her to go. She wondered why father persisted on them living here.
"Hey snookums what cha doin' yo?" Speaking of disgusting. "Get lost Toad I'm in no mood for you today." She growled.
Yet he still hopped along side her. "Oh come on babycakes, why don't we go and hang out?" her answer was a hex bolt which sent him flying.
Lance looked at the scene coming in and looked at his watch. "Is it eight- thirty already?"
Pietro zoomed into the zoom. "Hey guys, got anything planned?"
"No why?" Lance asked him. Pietro grinned. "Well I thought we could annoy some of the X-geeks for the afternoon." Lance rolled his eyes. "Seriously man, you really need to get a better hobby. Besides don't you remember what happened the last time you did that?"
"Hey she got in a lucky shot, next time I'll be moving too fast for Elf- girl to hit me with one of those things. But I guess you're going out with your pretty kitty again."
"What of it?" Lance said angrily. "Oh come on man, she's not worth it, all you guys do is end up in an argument. Why don't you give it up? She's too human friendly and you know it."
"Look speedy I don't need relationship advice from you of all people." Lance said to him.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Take a guess."
"WILL YOU BOTH SHUT UP." Wanda yelled. This argument seemed to be giving a headache she had even worse. "Pietro why don't you stop bugging Lance and do something useful with your speed for once. Like clean up around here or something!"
"Why should I?" He said crossing his arms. When the building trembled slightly and the light bulb started to blink on and off, Pietro knew that was the wrong thing to say.
"Uh...I mean I'd love to sis." Pietro said quickly and ran out of view.
'Hey guys why is Todd on the floor?" Fred said from another room.
"Hex bolt." Lance said over to him. "Oh." Fred said seeing as how everyone knew the rest of the story after anyone said that.
Wanda made for the door. "Hey where are you going?" Wanda looked angrily at him. "Out." She said and left without another word.
Pietro looked back into the room to make sure she was gone. "Man what's her problem this morning?" Lance said to Pietro. He shrugged his shoulder. "How knows, maybe it's that time of the month for her."
Lance looked at Pietro with a look that said, what are you an idiot. "And you wonder why you don't have a steady girlfriend."
"What's that supposed to mean?" He shot back at him.
Winnipeg - Manitoba
Gale was working with her dad in the clinic. She was having a hard time trying to keep out all the emotions she kept on intercepting. And of course every now and then people who knew her asked what happened with her hair.
She just said she died it. It was a lot easier then saying I'm a mutant and opening up that can of worms.
Her father and her had been talking al lot about this. She learned a lot about her mother and was wondering if she had ever known. He told her that they planned on telling her when she was older, but when she died he decided to keep quiet about it.
It wasn't out of malice or anything, it was just that she had enough to deal with after her death and all. Plus she might never get an active X- gene. He hoped it might skip her so she could lead a normal life.
Well that was out of the picture. She was getting a headache from all the emotion slamming into her mind, but she refused to stop helping out. She liked to help others, and her father told her she would be a great doctor one day, because not only was she good at medicine, she also truly cared.
Things were going fine until there was a sudden commotion. Gale ran to the source of the sound a mother was bringing in a child who was bleeding badly. "What happened to him?" Her father asked.
"He-he was playing and he fell into some shards of metal, please help him, you're the closest thing we have to a hospital." The mother pleaded.
"Gale, call an ambulance!" She immediately did what her father told her. After she called for the ambulance she ran back to her father to help him. The boy had a nasty gash on his leg. He was bleeding pretty badly and she knew he must have cut an artery.
"Gale, hold this." Her father said to her. She pressed down on the wound as her father went to get a needle. She could feel the boy's fear. He was so afraid, so terrified.
She wanted to help him, to make the pain and fear he was feeling go away. She found herself looking at the wound, and she felt like she was leaving her body, it was as if see could see the damage to his leg.
She saw where it was damaged, and when she looked at it, it seemed to close and heal up, she didn't know what was happening.
Her father on the other hand could see that his daughter had a far away look on her face, and her hands suddenly had this blue glow to them. He wasn't sure what was happening.
Then suddenly the light was gone and Gale fell to the floor. He quickly went to his daughter, she seemed fine physically so he lifted her up and placed her on a bed nearby. He went over to the child and removed the pressure bandage and was shocked to see the wound gone.
The child's color had improved, and he seemed to be sleeping. "My god what did she do?" He quickly turned to see the mother there, in all the excitement he had forgotten about her.
There was no hiding this. Not anymore, and he was worried what would happen to his daughter.
ABANDONED TOWN
A young Native American girl of about 16 was packing her bags. She had stayed as long as she could, getting used to the world and living with her grandfather. She loved him, but it was so lonely here, and she knew that her grandfather wanted more for her.
"Are you ready Danielle?" Came the voice of her grandfather, Black Eagle. Danielle Moonstar was smiling at her grandfather although she was a little sad. She wished he would come with her, but he said he would go back to the reservation to be with the tribe.
"Yes I'm ready." She said finishing closing her bag. He nodded and went to the jeep.
Dani picked up a couple of traveling bags that had her clothes. She could hardly wait to surprise Kitty and the others. She had called Xavier and asked for this to be a surprise.
