A/N: Since Quick Edit has some reading bugs so I'll have to change what telepathy is. (This) means telepathy from now on.
Damn-my-name-was-taken: I don't know, I only know that Dani Moonstar was one of the New Mutants in the comics and was shown once on the show. Unless you're thinking of that Shatterstar guy.
Supergirlhv: Well haven't heard from you in a while, glad you like it so far.
NctrnlBst: Trust me I'll update as soon as I can
BlackRoseApocalyps: Of course, when have I ever stopped?
yae yang: Yeah I know I wanted to bring Dani back for a while now, and finally got the chance, and for my new OC, Gale Hunter (Nightingale) to appear.
Red Witch: Oh I haven't even got started yet.
FAMILY AFFAIRS
CHAPTER 2: THE NEW GIRLS
Kitty was lying on her bead petting Lockheed who was curled up on her stomach, slightly bored. The girls all had plans, most of which were with the guys and she didn't want to interrupt them, or be a third wheel. She considered calling Lance, but with what happened yesterday they both needed to cool down.
Yesterday seemed so nice, then someone recognized her from the institute and started trouble, and of course Lance got angry and started to shake things up, literally. He nearly caused a building to collapse and luckily they got out of there before the cops showed up.
They had an argument about what he did. She said it was irresponsible and he said he was just defending them. Basically it ended badly, again. She didn't know why but lately that's usually how things ended.
When she gave Lance another chance after the whole Apocalypse thing, she thought he had changed. Well maybe he had a little, but he still had the same problems as before. He still didn't trust or like humans and still had all that anger.
She really hoped it would work out this time, but she didn't know. If they couldn't get things settled between them, she might have to break things off with him, permanently. She really didn't want that, but she was wondering how could she go on like this.
(Kitty could you come downstairs please) The Professor said in her mind. Kitty still wasn't used to that. (All right, I'll be right there) She sent back. She gently lifted Lockheed from her and placed him on her bed.
He looked at her curiously then curled up and went back to his nap. Kitty phased herself downstairs and met the Professor near the front door. "Ah Kitty, I wanted you to help show around a new student we will be having." Xavier said to her. She noticed the pleased look on his face and wondered what he was up to.
Kitty shrugged. "Sure, so who's the new student?" She asked him, slightly curious as to who the new person is. There was a knock on the door, and Kitty looked to the Professor, he nodded his head and she went to the door.
When she opened it she was surprised and delighted to see who it was. "Danielle!" She happily exclaimed and hugged her friend immediately laughing while doing so. "It's nice to see you too Kitty." Dani said happily to her friend.
Kitty noticed the tall man as her grandfather. "Oh Mr. Black Eagle it's nice to see you again too." He merely nodded his head to Kitty.
Kitty turned back to Dani. "So does this mean your staying?" She said hopefully seeing her bags. Dani smiled and nodded. "Yes I finally think I'm ready to come here."
Kitty complete excited grabbed one of her bags. "Well let me help you get settled in, and I can fill you in on some of the things that's been going on here."
Dani smiled and nodded. She quickly took her other two bags and followed Kitty in, then Kitty stopped and turned to the Professor. "Professor where's she going to go? Is she getting her own room?"
Dani looked a little worried at that. "Um, actually I was wondering, Professor if I could room with someone, I don't like the fact of being alone. I mean I was alone for two years in that cave and...well, I..."
Xavier smiled and nodded his head. "Of course I understand. Kitty would you like to share your room with her?" He asked knowing full well she would jump at the chance.
Which of course she did. "Like sure, I would totally love it!" Kitty said then she lead Dani to her room, while her grandfather stayed to talk with Xavier.
Dani was excited to be here around so many people again. When she got to Kitty's room she marvel at it's size. "We'll like get a bed moved in here soon for you, but you can like put some of your stuff in that closet for now." Kitty told her.
Dani smiled and was about to when she noticed a strange little toy on her bed it looked so life-like and she went to touch it. When the little purple dragon 'toy' actually moved and looked up at her, she did what any other rational person would.
She let out a shriek and fell back. "Kitty-wh-wh-what is that?" She said pointing a shaking hand at Lockheed. Who merely let out a puff of smoke and went back to his nap.
Kitty helped her friend up. "Well, you see..." She dind't know where to start with him. "He's my pet dragon Lockheed." She said quickly. Dani looked at her then to Lockheed then back to Kitty.
She blinked a couple of times. "Are you serious?" Kitty nodded her head. "That is so cool!" Dani shouted, with a smile.
LATER
After they had finished unpacking and Dani petting Lockheed, who didn't seem to mind her. They traveled down stairs, as Kitty was finishing getting her caught up on everything she missed out on.
"Wow, I'm gone for a few months and all of THAT happens?" Dani said in wonderment. "Yeah I like know what you mean." Kitty said to her, sometimes even SHE couldn't believe it.
"So you want to like meet all the new people?" Kitty asked her. Dani smiled. "Sure, no time like the present." Kitty grinned. "Yeah and maybe we could convince Vincent or Rogue to haul up your new bed for us too, with them having super strength and all."
Dani had to laugh at how she said it. They continued on to the Rec. room where most of the people were. "Hey guys, look who's back." Kitty said to them. They turned around and there were a collection of welcome backs.
Kitty took Dani to see Jubilee and Rahne. "Hey guys this is Danielle." Kitty introduces he to them. "You can call me Dani." She says to the two.
"Oh aye remember ye. I heard about a girl who was frozen or somethin' for like two years. Was that ye?" Asked the red headed Scots girl.
"Yeah, although I'm still not sure how my mutation kept me alive for so long." Dani tell her. "Well I'm sorry we missed that. Me and Rahne here got sent back home after Mystique blew up the mansion, and we just got back a couple a months ago." Jubilee tells her.
After a little talking, Kitty then takes Dani over to Blink, who was working on her pool game with some of the others. Dani is amazed at how she looks. Kitty describe her but it didn't do her justice. "Hi, you must be Clarice right?" Dani say friendly and sticks out her hand.
Blink nodes and shakes hands with the new girl. "Yeah, but you can call me Blink too. I kind of like it."
Kurt and Amanda walk in, having just returned from a date and see Dani in the room. "Hey, long time no see." Kurt says to her. Dani looks and sees Kurt and a black girl with her, with long dark hair.
"Hello Kurt, who's this?" She asks looking at Amanda. Amanda smiles at the girl. "I'm Amanda, nice to meet you." Dani shakes the girl's hand. "Oh your Kurt's girlfriend right? It's nice to finally meet you."
After a while Dani was introduced to basically everyone. "Hey guys where's Vincent or Forge? I think they're the only ones left who hasn't met Danielle." Kitty asked to group.
"I think Vincent and Rogue are staring in the Gym." Ray said to them. Kitty nodded and lead the native girl to the gym. "And Forge is doing somethin' wi' Beast innae lab so ye might want to introduce them later."
"Yeah your right. When those two are doing something it's like best to stay clear of them." Kitty told Dani as a warning. They went on their way to the gym. When they got in Danielle saw the girl she remembered as Rogue in black sweat pants and a dark green tank top, sparing with a handsome dark haired boy, in full karate gear, with a headband with some kind of symbol on it, which was also on the back of his gi.
She watched as they threw series of punches and kicks, each one either blocking or countering the moves. The blows that did land were weak and it was obvious they weren't trying to harm each other.
During the fight Vincent managed to counter a punch of Rouge's and turn it into a hammer lock. He was now behind Rogue holding one of her arms, but not too tightly. "Care to give up this round." He said to her. She struggled slightly trying to get out of the grip. "Not likely sugar."
"How about some incentive." He said sweetly and started to kiss her neck. Rogue couldn't help but smile and felt a shiver of pleasure going down her spine as he began. "That's cheatin'." She said while leaning her head to one side so he got a better angle.
"All's fare in love and war." Was his response, when he loosened his grip she suddenly jerked her arm loose and grabbed the cloth at his shoulder and flipped him onto the mat. Before he could get up she was already on him pinning his arms.
"What was that you said about cheating?" He said looking up at her. She grinned and leaned down for a kiss. "Ahem, uh guys do you want us to like come back later?" Kitty said smirking at their behavior.
Rogue let out a disgusted sigh. "Ya think in a MANSION we could get some privacy around here?" She looked up and saw Kitty and Danielle. "Well ah see we got ourselves a visitor or are ya stayin'?"
Dani smiles at the goth. "Yeah I'm staying, tilts her head and looks at Vincent on the floor. "Hi, I'm Danielle, and you must be Vincent nice to meet you."
Vincent tried to get up, but Rogue places a hand on his chest and pushed him back down. He looks up at her, and she grins back at him. "Are you going to let me up to say hi?"
"I don't think so, ah like the fact ah got some control over ya." Kitty burst out laughing. "Geez get a room or something already." She says between laughs, while Dani can't help but giggle at it.
Kurt 'bamfs' into the room. "Hey ze Professor told me zat-Vhat are you doing vith mien sister?" Kurt yells at Vincent, seeing them both slightly sweaty and seeing Rogue straddling him, and the lipstick on his lips from Rogue's kiss.
"It's not what you think Kurt." Vincent says a little quickly. "Kurt ah now your mah brotha but butt out, we've already been through this." Rogue said sternly to him.
"I think we should leave." Kitty whispered to Danielle who nodded, but couldn't help but bitting her lip not to laugh at the scene.
MANITOBA, CANADA
Dr. Hunter was considering what to do. It had been a few days since Gale healed that boy. Some people thought she was a Godsend while most people saw her as a freak. She came home last night in tears.
He had talked to her and after getting her calmed down, it seemed that some of her friends didn't want anything to do with her. And worse she could feel the hatred coming off of them, which only made things worse.
She couldn't figure out how to control her empathic powers and she started to stay inside away from people so she wouldn't feel any of the emotion coming off of them. He sat now in his bedroom.
He looked over to a picture of his wife. He picked it up and looked at it. "Oh God Jan, I really could need you right now. I don't know what to do. I need help."
CEREBRO ROOM
Charles was scanning for any new mutant signature, he was seeing many new mutants had come around. Some seemed more powerful then others. Some mutants only had slight mutations, while others seemed to have great powers.
He was contemplating upgrading Cerebro with new programs that would help put the mutants into different categories. It would make this much more easier. Suddenly he felt what seemed like another presence but it faded quickly.
He was a little concerned then he felt something else. A great sadness and despair. He followed it to Canada. It was in the city of Manitoba. As he grew closer to the source he found it to be the mind of a young girl.
He searched for a name, or something about this girl. On the computer a new file was being created from his scans. And the Cerebro helmet picked up information from his mind and sent it into the computer.
As he finished and turned off Cerebro, he looked over the file Cerebro had created.
NAME: Gale Hunter
AGE: 16
POWERS: empath/healing
Xavier looked over the address he was able to get from both a surface sane and what Cerebro could find in public files.
Charles was thinking about what he felt from the girl. How much she was hurting, and he could feel her fear. He decided to contact this girl and her family.
MANITOBA
Gale was lying on her bed hold her stuffed teddy Barney. She knew she was a little old for it, but it was the last gift her mother had given her, so she always went to it when she was feeling distressed. She felt like somehow a piece of her mother was in it.
But even now she felt lost and frightened. All she ever wanted to do was to help others, and now people hated her for no reason. She could sympathize with her mother now. Why she hid what she was from the world and her.
She just wanted things to be normal again, she wanted to look like her old self, to lose this power, and to get rid of these headaches she was feeling. But deep down she knew it wouldn't happen.
There was a knock on her door, a second later her father appeared. "Gale I have something to talk to you about." She turned to face her father. His heart ached at the sight of her red eyes from crying.
"I was just contacted by a man, named Xavier he wants to meet with us, if we let him." Her father began. "He's the person that runs that mutant school in the states and he want to help you if you want to."
"What do you mean by helping me?" She asked. "How did he know about me?" She demanded.
"I don't know sweaty, but he said he could explain it all, if you want to meet with him."
"I don't know, daddy. I mean, what can he do for me?" She asked him looking at him with pleading eyes. Her father put an arm around his daughter. "He told me he helps young mutants to control and harness their powers, and that if you have any problems or questions about your abilities he can help you."
She thought about it. Her headaches were starting to come more and more, and she still had no idea how she actually healed that boy. "I...guess it couldn't hurt to talk to him." She said quietly.
Her father nodded, and hugged her. She hugged him back. Soon he left to make a call.
SAVAGE LAND
Sinister had left the newly constructed Cerebro room. He was worried, not only was it slightly behind schedule but Xavier nearly noticed his presence.
"What have you to report?" Said a deep voice. Sinister turned to see Magneto close by. "I need more time, it is only operating at 30 percent and I need to make a few adjustments so that Charles doesn't find out we fooled him those months ago.
He nodded his head. "Now we have only to worry about the other plan we have for the Brotherhood in Bayville." Magneto said to him.
"The plan is already on the way." Sinister said with a grin. "Mystique, Mesmero and Sabertooth will do what is necessary, to get the ball rolling."
"When it will come into effect they will be taken to the Acolyte base in NY to help weed out the week and disloyal."
"Yes they must be tested, before we can allow them access to our main fortress here in the Savage Land." Magneto agreed.
"Do you think it's wise to put them at that particular base?" Sinister asked. "I mean that is where you're keeping that girl and if her brother finds out that's she's been there all along, he might switch sides."
"Well then, that's why he was never giving information about that base or any of the others." Magneto said. "Besides only the Brotherhood will be sent there."
"Of course Magneto, I in the mean time will double my efforts with our Cerebro and try to find more new mutants for our cause."
They stopped by one of the giant windows that covered and entire wall and looked out amongst the building being constructed.
"Everything is falling into place." Magneto mused to himself. "Soon we will have an army ready for the coming war against humanity and not Charles or anyone else will stop us."
'If you only knew what the true plans were for this place you fool.' Sinister thought. He grinned inwardly. 'If you only knew who I truly serve and what is to come you fool.'
