Alistor was sitting in his parked truck. It was 10pm and the rain hadn't
lightened up at all. He was nowhere near Bayville. He hadn't been since
lunch time. He was looking across at a house with a white door, and neatly
kept front garden. 'The same as it always was. I guess Catherine is still
alive then.' He thought as he debated weather or not to knock on the door.
It had been 6 years since it happened, and the only thing he regretted was
leaving Catherine alone to deal with this. He reached over to his glove
compartment, where he routed around and pulled out a thick gold band with
an inscription on the inside that had worn away over the years. 'At least
Ive got a reason to go.' He though as he ran the abject though his fingers.
After sitting for a while, he sighed deeply and got out of the truck, slipping into the rain, he started walking towards the house. He pushed through the gate and walked the short distanced to the neatly painted door. He reached for the knocker and hesitated, but then took it and knocked three times, before stepping back from the doorstep and waiting for the answer.
"Who is it?" Came a scared woman's voice. It was Catherine.
"Catherine....Its....Alistor." He said Clearing his throat because he sounded so choked up. The door quickly was wrenched open, and standing there was Catherine in her white dressing gown. She looked him over in shock, not recognising him, then noticed his eyes. Catherine ran out of the house and tackled him, pulling him into a desperate hug. She had so many questions, he knew that, but he had one thing to ask. "Is Jeramy hear?"
Catherine pulled away and looked at him, then looked inside. Alsitor pulled a pissed off face and shook his head. "He's asleep right?" He said.
"Ali, sweetie, he's my husband, what can I do?"
"You can leave the sonofabitch---No, Catherine, I didn't come hear to go through this with you. I came to see if you're ok."
"Honey, Im fine. But I have something to show you." She said, sounding excited, she couldn't stop starring at Alistor. Dure in his 2 year long stay with them, Alistor and Catherine became very close. If not parent child close, then best friend close. Catherine reached a hand up to his face and moved aside some of his damp hair. "You always said you wanted long hair." She said with a warm smile, seeing Alistor smile and look to his boots. "Now come on in. You'll catch your death out hear."
Alistor was pulled into the house with a sssh motion. She pulled him along the dimly lit hall, and stopped at the bedroom that used to be his. She smiled at him and reached for the door handle, pushing it open slightly, she motioned him to look into the room. A smile brushed his face as he saw the cot by the wall with a sleeping baby in it. He looked at her with a wide smile and she nodded.
"I called him Draven." She smiled. It was a name that he picked out.
"Can I go see?" He whispered. Catherine nodded and then strolled off to get a towel for him. Alistor walked over and peered in on the baby. He had bright blond hair, and was around 8 months old. He reached down and picked up the baby, cradling him in his arms. "Hay." He whispered, seeing the baby stir and open his eyes. They were a deep blue. But then again, all baby's eyes are blue at the start.
"Who the fuck are you?!" Came a voice. Alistor was facing the window, his head jerked up. 'Jeramy.' He turned and looked at the man who had a shotgun in his hand. Alistor rolled his eyes and set the baby back on the cot.
"What's wrong Jeramy? Don't recognise me?" Alistor said in a cocky tone. He looked directly at Jeramy, seeing his face pale in the light from the hall. What Alistor didn't know was that his bright blue eyes were glowing in the darkness. That only ever happens usually, when he's in crystal for. These were consequences of his expanding powers. "Thought you'd finished the job didn't you. Fraid not asshole. Im still hear."
"Alistor?" Jeramy asked no one in particular, the cocked the shotgun and aimed it at him. But Jeramy was blind drunk and found that he couldn't keep the gun straight. Alistor felt as though it was some kind of precognitive sense of awareness or something, he felt something bad was about to happen, so he put a hand on the cot and crystald up, covering the cot and it's content, as well as him, with that crystal that protected him so much. Just a second after, the shotgun went off and the bulled hot the crystal barrier of the cot. It would have been the baby.
"What the fuck are you?" Jeramy exclaimed as Alistors crystal melted back into his skin.
"Im a mutant Jeramy." He said bluntly. 'Mutant hater no doubt' He thought. Alistor took a step away from the cot and picked up a rattle, then put it down. Catherine was standing in the hall, shaking with fear. Jeramy raised the gun again. Alistor chuckled and did something he never had done before. The gun went off, and Alistor created a wall of white energy. The bullet hit the wall. "Now, now, Jeramy. Your gonna hurt your son if you keep this up." Alistor said shaking his finger. He hadn't been this angry in a long time. He wanted to tear Jeramy apart.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kate was running around the rec room, she had too much sugar in her system as he skipped about and danced to Britny Spears on MTV.
"Fille,....Y' should calm down. Y' should have been in bed hours ago." Remy said. Since he was 22, he hand no 'in bed time', unlike Rogue who was sent up at 10pm. It was now 10:30. The professor asked Remy to sit up with Kate, since he let Kate eat all those marshmallows.
"Oops I did it again! I played with your heart sumthin sumthin" She shouted as she copied Britters movements from the screen. Remy leaned his head back against the couch.
"Remy is never havein' kids." He whispered to himself.
Kate suddenly stopped, her smile fading, her eyes glazing over. Remy felt a twinge of fear coming from Kate and looked at her. Kate stood in the middle of the room, motionless. Her eyes suddenly flared a glowing blue. She began breathing heavy. She shook her head, she put a hand on her chest. She screamed and was suddenly thrown into the air. She flew backwards and was about to hit the wall bust she tensed up and a white energy surrounded her. She stopped in the air and fell to her feet, the energy evaporating, then folded down to her knees. The blue on her eyes slowly fading away, leaving her eyes white, before her usual brown returned.
Remy stood up and ran over to her. "What? What's wrong p'tite?"
"Alistor." She said. "He's gonna do something' bad, and then he's gonna kill himself."
"What?" Remy said confused.
"Rogue!!!" Kate screamed, she screamed it mentally as well, then channelled her, and used her stolen power to teleport Rogue to her in the Rec room. Rogue looked around confused as she stood in blue silky pjs. "Rogue, I need your help." Kate said, running over and tugging on the long sleeve of Rogues nightshirt.
"I need to get to a place. I don't know where it is, but if I project it to you, you have to use your brothers power to get there..ok? It's far away so Ill need to concentrate real hard for you to use the power...ok?"
"Sure." Rogue said.
"Wait...Ill come as well." Remy said. Kate turned to him.
"No, I don't have enough energy to get us all that way, besides, you will be needed hear....Mystique is coming back tonight and she's bringing Hysteria with her. He want's his sister. Be careful." Kate said, then closed her eyes and grabbed on to Rogue. They stood for 3 minuets, then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rogues bare feet squidged into some soggy mud. She looked around and found that her and Kate were standing in a garden in the pouring rain, Alistors truck was across the road. Rogue recognised this house, and got a bad feeling. He couldn't have come hear for any other reason than vengeance. Kate and Rogue jumped suddenly when they heard a shotgun go off. Kate and Rogue exchanged a glance then Rogue picked up Kate and ported into the room where the noise came from.
They turned up on the corner of the room. Rogue saw Alistor smash an elbow into Jeramy's face and take the shotgun. Alistor took a few steps back. His face holding no emotion as he loaded the gun and cocked it. He aimed the gun at Jreamy with one hand, then his attention was caught by Rogue holding Kate in the corner of the room. He glared at them, his jaw clenching. Jeramy ducked out of the way, and Alistor tried to shoot after him, but hit the wall instead.
"Ali! Sugah....Y'all need ta put the gun down now." Rogue took a cortious step closer. Alistor held the gun up at Rogue.
"Don't!" He warned. Rogue moved over to the cot slowly and took the baby out with her gloved hands. Rogue handed the baby to Kate, who slowly walked out of the room, where Catherine took the baby, and was instructed by Kate to leave.
"Kate, ah think ya should go as well.....juss wait in the truck alright."
"No....Rogue, no Ive seen what happens please....If I leave you....he'll...Im so stupid! I saw this but I brought you out hear anyway!" Kate said, now crying. //Rogue...He's crazy right now. He's not himself...and If I leave you alone, he's gonna kill you.//
Rogue looked at Kate and bit down on her lip, she looked at Alistor who was re loading the shotgun.
"Get out of my way Rogue, Ive got some stuff to deal with that doesn't involve you." He said, sounding mixed up in his out head.
//Rogue I just needed you to get me hear. I can do the rest, but you have to leave now.//
"No." Rogue said. The channel between Kate and Rogue was still open, so Rogue used Jeans power to take the gun from Alistors hands. She combined Jean and Kurt's power, and put the gun in another room. "Alistor, ah think we should talk...You're an x-man....your not supposed ta snap lihke this."
"Why the hell not?! Im sick of just dealing with shit and moving on! I cant move on anymore Rogue. There's something wrong in my head." He chuckled with a manic reason behind it. "I should have seen a shrink about this along time ago....but I got over it and moved on.....Ha! I moved on and Im still the same scared little retard that got the shit kicked out of him every Friday night because I WAS THE HUMAN FUCKING PUNCH BAG!"
"No! That's it...Its gonna happen any minuet Rogue, duck, DUCK!" Kate screamed. Rogue ducked and just then, five spears of white energy involuntarily shot from Alistors body. All hitting behind him except for two, which would have gone through Rogues head and chest.
Alistor felt a burning sensation all over his body as hit began to glow, he yelled out in pain and fell to his knees. The light dying out slightly. Rogue stepped closer, but found Alistor lashing out. A fight broke out, and Rogue accidentally grabbed hold of Alistor and teleported them both to the local school football field. This was because Rogue was remembering when Alistor got into a fight with a gang of guys at this place, and he seriously injured one buy, but got a really bad beating from the others.
Alistor pushed her off of him. He glared at her and charged at her. She blocked a punch to the ribs, and dodged some energy. She couldn't tap into the stolen powers because she was too far away from Kate, so all she had was her skin and her fighting techniques. She flipped backwards and ducked as Alistor punched at her face. He missed and found himself on his back on the mud after Rogue swiped her leg under his.
The rain fell hard, soaking Rogue to the bone as she fought Alistor, trying to connect her skin with his, but it did no good, he was too fast as he blocked every move she made with cristalled up hands, though the rest of his body was normal. Alistor fell backwards with a splash into a puddle of muddy grassyness. He stopped and looked up at Rogue, his eyes more pale than usual. He looked up at her, putting a hand in his soaked hair and grabbed a fistful at the scalp and lightly tugged on it as he pulled his knees to him.
"Im screwed Rogue.......Im mentally fucking screwed up beyond repair." He laughed. "It's funny." He said, rocking slightly. "You're the only friend I have and I wonna tear you to fucking pieces." He said within a laugh. "Would you let me?" He giggled and fell back with a splash on the grass.
Rogue stood a fair distance away from him. This wasn't good. He was a very powerful mutant who wasn't exactly in control of his powers fully since they expanded, and he was cracking up. Having a mental break down. He was lying on his back, laughing hysterically in the rain, after trying to kill his foster father. He suddenly stopped laughing and fell silent. Rogue stepped closer to see what was wrong, He looked up at her, then stood up and faced her.
"What can I say Rogue? Im a fucking head case. But I hid it well up until now. I just can't hide it anymore." He said plainly.
"Alistor, your not a head case. People snap every now and then...It's......kinda normal." Rogue said looking back to him. He threw his head back and laughed.
"Kate said that I was supposed to kill you tonight. Is that normal? Do people go around killing their friends? What kind of people do you know Rogue?" He said as if everything was a joke. "Ive just hit a point in my life where I just don't give a fuck what happens to anyone." He said holding his arms out as he began to circle Rogue.
"What about Kate? You were gonna adopt her....What about now? What about her?"
"Fuck her! Fuck you! Fuck it all." Alistor snapped. His tone scared him to the point where he started shaking with the urge to hurt someone. He whimpered and put a palm to his forehead, rubbing at his own skin as he clenched his eyes closed. "I didn't....I didn't mean that....I don't think......Ugh! I don't know what I think ok? Go away and just.....just go away." He said then started to walk away from Rogue.
"Y'all are gonna go and abandon us now?" Rogue bit her lip. Probably a bad idea to do this, but he was pissing her off and she was tired. "Your worthless. You are a screw up alright." Alistor stooped in his tracks, clenching his fists. He found the cool that he usually keeps and kept walking, not even looking back. "Y'all are just like them right now. It's good that your going, cos' if you adopt Kate....Who knows what you'd do to her!" Rogue shouted across the football field.
Alistor abruptly stopped and turned to her. "I WOULD NEVER HURT HER! I WOULD NEVER HURT A CHILD!" He screamed at Rogue. He suddenly felt extremely emotional and started tearing up as his skin burned again. He felt something rising up inside of him, it was about to explode, but he had to keep it back. He tensed up suddenly feeling his body burn so much. Swirls of energy shot out from his body and twisted around him. It got stronger and bigger, and kept growing until it all sucked into his body, then explodes, sending a gust of invisible energy out with so much force that Rogue was hurtled into the bleachers and knocked out.
Alistor fell to his knees feeling strangely better. Thinking clearly so to speak. He looked around the crater that he made in the ground and gulped. He looked over and saw Rogue unmoving, trapped in some bent metal. He gritted his teeth and ran over to her, gently picking her up and making sure she was ok. He put a hand underneath her neck and lay her across his lap, looking down at her. She opened her eyes and saw him.
"You....uuhm....ok?" He asked, sheepishly.
"Hell no." Rogue said groggily. She got up and started rubbing the back of her neck where she was hit, then eyes up Alistor wearily.
".....Rogue......" He was lost for works and began nervously cracking his knuckles. "I do wonna adopt Kate.....And Im not....Im not like them Rogue. I would never do those things that happened to me." He said in a small voice. "But the proff wont let me adopt her now......will he?"
"Ah don't know Ali. But ahm not gonna lie ta ya. Ya need some help, y'all can't deal all alone anymore. Thers only so much that one human....mutant, can take." She winced at her neck and rolled her head around. "Get yer ass up now, were goin back ta the institute. Ahm at school tomorrow and Its almost midnight." Rogue said. She was overly pissed at him.
"Im not goin' back Rogue."
"What?" Rogue said.
"How can I....After what I just did. I belong in a mental institution, not a school for kids." Alistor said as if it was obvious.
"Fihn. Whatevah. Ahm goin home." Rogue said, walking away. Alistor looked at her. Bare feet, silky blue pj's. He took of his leather coat and ran up behind her, draping it over her shoulders. "Ah don't need ya help jackass." Rogue snapped.
"No, but you look kinda strange in...uhm, pajamas, and you kinda...uhm, have a long way to walk to get back to Kate." Rogue nodded and they both walked back to that house in silence, where Kate as staring blankly at Jeramy who was drooling, unblinking and completely docile looking.
After 10 minuets of staring at him, Kate blinked out of her trance and the man collapsed to the floor. Catherine looked at the little girl who smiled. "He'll never hurt you again ma'am." She said, then heard a knocked at the door. Her eyes flared green. "Rogue." She said. Catherine eyed the child warily and went to answer the door, she let in Rogue and Alistor who were soaked to the bone and covered in mud.
Kate had a wide smile on her face as she ran over to Alistor and held her arms up to him. But Alistor took a step back. Kate's smile dropped and she too took a step back. "Your not cumming back with us....are you Onix?" He shook his head, feeling bad, he looked away from the child and focused on the wall with a grey face. "But you....and Teren....what about me?" Kate said in a shaky voice.
"Your gonna go back to the institute with Rogue." He said to her, but still not looking at her. Kate was tearing up. She looked to Rogue who was looking at her. She offered the child a week smile, but Kate just frowned. Kate was mad, and she just stared at Alistor until suddenly he was standing facing her, he collapsed to the floor.
"What did ya do ta him Kate." Rogue asked.
"I knocked the stupid git out! He doesn't know what the hell he's saying." Kate said, then turned to Catherine. "He will call you later." Kate said without the smile the grabbed a hold of Rogue and Alistor. "Lets go." She child orders, before they all dissapeard. Landing in the garage at the institute.
After sitting for a while, he sighed deeply and got out of the truck, slipping into the rain, he started walking towards the house. He pushed through the gate and walked the short distanced to the neatly painted door. He reached for the knocker and hesitated, but then took it and knocked three times, before stepping back from the doorstep and waiting for the answer.

It's good that your going, cos' if you adopt Kate....Who knows what you'd do to her!" Rogue shouted across the football field.
Alistor abruptly stopped and turned to her. "I WOULD NEVER HURT HER! I WOULD NEVER HURT A CHILD!" He screamed at Rogue. He suddenly felt extremely emotional and started tearing up as his skin burned again. He felt something rising up inside of him, it was about to explode, but he had to keep it back. He tensed up suddenly feeling his body burn so much. Swirls of energy shot out from his body and twisted around him. It got stronger and bigger, and kept growing until it all sucked into his body, then explodes, sending a gust of invisible energy out with so much force that Rogue was hurtled into the bleachers and knocked out.
Alistor fell to his knees feeling strangely better. Thinking clearly so to speak. He looked around the crater that he made in the ground and gulped. He looked over and saw Rogue unmoving, trapped in some bent metal. He gritted his teeth and ran over to her, gently picking her up and making sure she was ok. He put a hand underneath her neck and lay her across his lap, looking down at her. She opened her eyes and saw him.
"You....uuhm....ok?" He asked, sheepishly.
"Hell no." Rogue said groggily. She got up and started rubbing the back of her neck where she was hit, then eyes up Alistor wearily.
".....Rogue......" He was lost for works and began nervously cracking his knuckles. "I do wonna adopt Kate.....And Im not....Im not like them Rogue. I would never do those things that happened to me." He said in a small voice. "But the proff wont let me adopt her now......will he?"
"Ah don't know Ali. But ahm not gonna lie ta ya. Ya need some help, y'all can't deal all alone anymore. Thers only so much that one human....mutant, can take." She winced at her neck and rolled her head around. "Get yer ass up now, were goin back ta the institute. Ahm at school tomorrow and Its almost midnight." Rogue said. She was overly pissed at him.
"Im not goin' back Rogue."
"What?" Rogue said.
"How can I....After what I just did. I belong in a mental institution, not a school for kids." Alistor said as if it was obvious.
"Fihn. Whatevah. Ahm goin home." Rogue said, walking away. Alistor looked at her. Bare feet, silky blue pj's. He took of his leather coat and ran up behind her, draping it over her shoulders. "Ah don't need ya help jackass." Rogue snapped.
"No, but you look kinda strange in...uhm, pajamas, and you kinda...uhm, have a long way to walk to get back to Kate." Rogue nodded and they both walked back to that house in silence, where Kate as staring blankly at Jeramy who was drooling, unblinking and completely docile looking.
After 10 minuets of staring at him, Kate blinked out of her trance and the man collapsed to the floor. Catherine looked at the little girl who smiled. "He'll never hurt you again ma'am." She said, then heard a knocked at the door. Her eyes flared green. "Rogue." She said. Catherine eyed the child warily and went to answer the door, she let in Rogue and Alistor who were soaked to the bone and covered in mud.
Kate had a wide smile on her face as she ran over to Alistor and held her arms up to him. But Alistor took a step back. Kate's smile dropped and she too took a step back. "Your not cumming back with us....are you Onix?" He shook his head, feeling bad, he looked away from the child and focused on the wall with a grey face. "But you....and Teren....what about me?" Kate said in a shaky voice.
"Your gonna go back to the institute with Rogue." He said to her, but still not looking at her. Kate was tearing up. She looked to Rogue who was looking at her. She offered the child a week smile, but Kate just frowned. Kate was mad, and she just stared at Alistor until suddenly he was standing facing her, he collapsed to the floor.
"What did ya do ta him Kate." Rogue asked.
"I knocked the stupid git out! He doesn't know what the hell he's saying." Kate said, then turned to Catherine. "He will call you later." Kate said without the smile the grabbed a hold of Rogue and Alistor. "Lets go." She child orders, before they all dissapeard. Landing in the garage at the institute.
