The Uncanny R-Man: With Blink no, I got something else with that girl,
but I will pair her up with someone in the next story hopefully. As for
Mesmero all will be revealed in future chapters.
yae yang: Just wait and see how I plan for her to break it to the others, but not in this story in the next one. Plus one more surprise (Hopefully)
jadestar123: I use the editor in the document manager. I just highlight it and use bold then save it for before I post it.
Red Witch: Yeah it just popped into my head thinking of that scene from Spawn and I just had to do it.
DemonRogue13: Glad you liked it and I thought it was time for their relationship to end, especially for what's going to happen.
Supergirlhv: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it, I liked the punks part too.
Ruby: Really? Oh well I'll fix that for you in this chapter. Oh and if you are reading the first one don't be afraid to leave a few reviews in that story to tell me what you thought of certain parts. BTW If you haven't gotten to the chapter called origins yet don't read this, it has spooilers in it.
FAMILY AFFAIRS
CHAPTER 11: MEET THE DOCTOR
Gale was sitting outside enjoying the summer sunshine. She was looking around at some of the students playing a game called mutant ball. There seemed to be very little rules, and basically was an all powers game.
She didn't feel up to it, but she did enjoy watching them play. On one team there was Dani, Tabitha, Sam, and Roberto. On the opposite were Jamie, Ray, Amara, and Vincent.
She studied Vincent for a while. He was so different then the scared little boy she once met all those years ago. It was strange, almost like looking at an entirely new person. Of course he was taller and in better health. He was nearly six feet tall, was in great shape.
His black hair was cut short, and his skin wasn't as pale as before. His eyes though were the same. The same light blue, with a certain hardness that came from his life. She could see a little of one of the scars on his back from under his shirt.
She never knew about those scars or their meaning. She was still in deep thought when Blink sat down beside her. "Hey." Gale jumped and looked to see a giggling Blink. "Sorry about that you just seemed to be deep in thought there."
Gale blushed slightly being a little embarrassed by her reaction. "It's okay, and yeah I was." She went back to looking. Blink followed her gazed and noticed she was following Vincent.
"I thought you didn't have a thing for boys?" She said humorously, causing Gale to playfully hit her in the arm.
"It's not that, it's just that...well...he's so different. It's just amazing how a person can change to much in the years."
Blink looked from her to Vincent. "Yeah and given what Amanda told me of his past...I think that's a good thing."
Gale remembered what he told her his life had been like. "Yeah I guess that's true, but I wonder why I get this sadness from him from time to time. Like a pain of loss, and some of the others also have it but him most of all."
Blink thought about it and then she remembered. "Oh." She said quietly. Gale looked to Blink and urged her to go on. "Well before I got here, and before the day Amanda got her powers and everything...there was a girl here."
"Really? Who and where is she now?"
Blink bit her lip slightly but then continued. "She was from the same project Vincent was apart of. In fact she was freed from the control of Sinister this really evil mutant who not only was in charge of the project but...well he had her under his control for years." Blink said sadly.
Who could even imagine what the girl went through? Gale was on edge now, wanting to know more but let her tell it in her own pace. "Well Vincent named her April, after his mother who was killed. Then a few days later something Sinister left in her mind took over again and there was a battle and she used this stuff that amplified mutant powers but...she took too much and she died."
Gale gasped. She couldn't believe it. "But the worse of it...was that I heard she died in his arms, and he still blames himself I think." Blink finished. She held her head down in sorrow for both the girl she never got to know and for those who had to live with the memory of her death.
Gale sat in silence. She looked at them all smiling and happy, at least now. But being an empath she could see what went on behind the faces, she could feel when they fid their pain and suffering. Until now she didn't realize just how much a person chooses to show of himself or herself to the world around them.
"Hey guys what's up?" Gale heard the unfamiliar female voice call to them. She turned and saw two girls roughly her own age coming. One was slim and had long legs and seemed to be in good shape from what she could see in her tank top and shorts. The girl also had brown hair, short in the front but long in the back slightly.
The other was a pretty blonde. She seemed to be dressed in white T-Shirt and a blue skirt. She was slim and to Gale at least very attractive, but she really wanted to know who these two were.
"Oh there are Pam and Amy." Blink said happily. She saw the look Gale was giving her. "Oh sorry I forgot you haven't met them yet. Well these are a couple of friends we have, they're human that's why they don't live here. In fact Pam over there." As Gale noticed she pointed to the brunette. "Is dating Ray."
NEW YORK
Dr. Strange is looking through the shadows of time trying to find out where and how Azazel got out of his prison. Through the meditation he can see the past as long as he has something to focus on.
He sees a young mutant girl who is obviously a part of his group. He sees her steal a device of some kind. He sees others there other mutants, and makes a note of the name of the place on a plaque on the walls outside of a mansion.
He sees the girl at an abandoned church of some kind and of seeing a portal created. 'Damn it I should have known or suspected he would have someone who could reach him.' He thinks to himself.
He losses his focus but he's seen enough. He exits this state of being and returns to the material plane. He slumps to the floor of his meditation chamber. Doing that always takes a lot out of him, a price if you will, as all magic has.
After a few minutes he rises and goes to a room he has for just such a purpose. It's a fairly large room filled with maps and scrolls and mirrors. He walks over to a pigeon hole and takes out a map of the New York state.
He lays it on the large oak table in the center of the room. He also takes a crystal on a desk that holds other items. He places the crystal above the map. "Spirits hear me, spirits guide me, show me the path, show me the way, show me this Xavier's School for the Gifted I say."
The blue crystal glows and moves on its own and finally rests on Bayville. Strange then goes and finds a map of Bayville and repeats the procedure.
XAVIER'S SCHOOL
Blink and Gale walk up to Amy and Pam who is currently wrapped her arms around Ray's neck and pulled herself up for a hello kiss. After she finishes she pulls back. "So handsome anything new going on?"
"As a matter of fact." Ray says and points to Gale and Dani.
Pam smiles at them. "Cool a couple of more students." She walks up to Dani and Gale since they aren't far apart by now. "High, I'm Pam and this is Amy, nice to meet ya. Well say hello girl."
Amy nods and smiles a little. "Hello." She says quietly.
Pam sighs. "You'll have to forgive her she's a little shy around new people, but once she gets to know ya you'll never get to shut up."
"Pam!" Amy said. "That's not true, I'm just...well...it just takes me a while to get used to people okay."
"Well I'm Danielle Moonstar but you can just call me Dani." She says.
Gale waves her hand. "I'm Gale Hunter."
Pam looks at her for a moment. "Girl where did you get the dye for that hair? I love it, it matches your eyes perfectly."
"Um...actually I used to be a blond with brown eyes but then, well you know." She said with a shrug.
"Really?" Pam said. "Well it suits you don't you think Amy?" Amy nodded but didn't say anything.
"Personally I think she looks like an anime chick." Roberto blurted out. Gale's mouth hung open with a look on her face that said 'I can't believe you said that' on it. "What?" He said seeing her face.
"I do not look like an anime chick, right?" Gale asked. Then she noticed Vincent shuffling around a little and avoiding her gaze. "Don't tell me you think son too."
"Well...not really, I wasn't going to say anything it's just that, you do have a resemblance to Amy from Sailor Moon." He said. Now everyone was giving him strange looks.
"Um, dude how do you know that?" Ray asked him raising an eyebrow.
"Hey I grew up with a bunch of kids from ages three to eleven, and I got stuck making sure that what ever they were watching was okay." He said defensively. "Put a photographic memory and you get a living hell."
"Damn I guess that means you had to sit through a lot of kiddy shows huh?" Roberto said, nearly laughing, but a glare from Vincent made him stop.
"You have no idea." Vincent said miserably.
"I like it, and I think it's kind of cool you do look like it, since I love anime." They all turned to see that came from Amy, who had spoken up finally. "What? A girl can't like anime or something?" She said slightly defensive.
"You really think I don't look that bad as someone from an anime show?" Gale asked her. Amy smiled and shook her head, causing Gale to smile. "Well I guess it's not that bad."
INSIDE
While all that was going on Kurt and Amanda were on the couch. Amanda was snuggling up to Kurt, not that he was complaining. "So zey said zat you only have a few days of grounded now and less chores?" He asked her.
She nodded her head. "Yeah, I guess the fact that Jillian turned out to be a traitorous witch they went a little more easily on me. But I guess I'm still being punished for fighting anyway, which is fare."
"I never knew I vas vorth fighting over." Kurt joked, but Amanda pull out from him and looked him in the eyes.
"Yes you are." She said, and Kurt could see she was serious. "Kurt you are the love of my life, I know that with all my heart and I couldn't bare to lose you."
Kurt was touched by her words. He moved closer and embraced her. "I feel ze same." He whispered to her ear. It was a perfect moment for them they pulled away only a little and Kurt took her face in his hands.
He drew her slowly to him and their faces were inches apart.
Then there was a vortex suddenly a few feet from the couch, both of them jumped and stared at it. "Oh man, vhy does stuff like zis have a vay of happening?" He said over the sound of the vortex.
Then a man with black hair with gray on the sides, a moustache, wearing strange blue clothing and a red cape walked out of it.
The vortex closed and the man looked at the two on the couch. "Sorry to drop by like this but I need to speak with whoever is in charge, it is the utmost importance that I do." He said in a calm and yet slightly forceful tone.
Kurt and Amanda just stared at the man. "Who are you?" Amada said finally.
The man smiled kindly on the two of them. "I am Dr. Stephen Strange, Earth's sorcerer supreme and I need you assistance please. I'm not here to cause trouble but I believe we both have a common interest."
"And vhat vould that be?" Kurt asked him, not entirely sure he should trust this strange (no pun intended) man.
"Jillian." Was the only thing he said to them.
"Kurt I think we should get the Professor and the others." Amanda said to him. Kurt just nodded at a loss for words.
SAVAGE LAND
Sinister was walking happily up to Magneto, finding new recruits for their forces always put him in a good mood, like experimenting often did. Magneto who was looking through some data on a computer looked over to Sinister as he approached.
"I take it you have some good news." It wasn't a question, and he kept his voice even and flat.
"Of course I have three new candidates for us here now, it took little convincing and they want to serve us."
"Do you believe they are trusted enough to come here?" Magneto asked the last thing he needed was a traitor revealing the location of the Savage Land. But Sinister seemed confident.
"They killed several humans already, I don't think they're the traitorous kind, plus I doubt they would be with Xavier." Sinister said trying to alleviate his fears, or maybe paranoia would be the better phrase.
Magneto nodded. "Good, I'll look on them in a moment but first...have you seen Pyro, Psi-co, Legion and your apprentice Morbius?"
Now that Sinister thought about it, it did seem a little quieter around here lately. "No, now that you mentioned it. You want me to find them?"
Magneto shook his head. "No they'll come back sooner or later."
LONDON
Currently the four had had a wild time. Of course they went to the bar and did get drinks, although they didn't have to maim the bartender, but they did get a little drunk. And Morbius looking like his old charming and good looking human self had charmed a few ladies into a certain dark corner for a drink and not of the liquor kind.
After a couple of hours they were bored again. Then Pyro thought it would liven things up make a few fire animals. Basically this caused pure pandemonium and people started to run for their lives.
So the four of them were currently staggering down the streets of London, holding each other up and singing at the top of their lungs as the club behind them was burning to the ground.
"We didn't start the fire, it was always burning since the world was turning..."
