Disclaimer: I own nothing but the idea, Des, Volt, Delano, Cally and Maharet (who seems to be unused anymore) and borrowed Marc. So, if you can't understand that concept then too bad.

The next morning, Des woke up in the medical lab of the mansion. Her shoulder stitched and bandaged. The effects of the vast amount of blood taken toll. She looked around the room with slightly blurred vision. Nothing out of the ordinary, besides the monitors and IVs hooked up to her.

It seems as though she was wearing her blood stained clothes, which was a relief for her. Not wanting to be in one of those hospital gowns. The thought made her cringe but then tried to remember all that happened the night before. It seemed as though she was drugged or was too out of it to even remember. That was just great seeing as she couldn't even remember where she was.

She went to sit up on the bed but her whole body felt like a flimsy dead weight. That wound up not being the best idea for right now and she just stayed lying down. She was about to go back to sleep until a noise startled her back awake.

A huge blue furry humanoid creature walked into the room. Des thought she was seeing things from the vast amount of loss blood she lost the night before. But remembered that it was only Mr. McCoy that was the blue creature. "Ah, glad to see that you are awake." He then moved around to read the monitors that kept track of her heartbeat and vital signs.

"You had us all quiet worried, especially Marc, last night when he brought you here. There was a slight chance that you would have made it through the night. Good thing that chance pulled through." He said with a smile. She has yet lived again? With the first time coming close to dying where she almost got dragged away by the darkness and now loss of blood. None of this made any sense on how she stayed alive. Well besides the first time where as Hekate helped her out.

"Marc told us about your brother. Well what he did see any ways and what you told him. It's quiet fascinating that Charles never did locate him around with Cerebro." Hank said, setting a tray of food on a bedside table and positioned it so she could get at it. Despite how weak she felt she was sure hungry and decided to eat the food he brought for her.

"Cerebro?" She questioned, wondering what it was. "A machine that the professor and Magneto created that amplifies Charles's telepathy to locate any mutant any where's in the world." Hank explained to her. Des seemed to understand that. After she finished eating she fell back asleep.

About two hours later, Marc came into the medical lab, pulled up a chair next to Des's bedside, and sat down. Hank told them all earlier that she had made it and was sleeping peacefully now. He remembered how he acted towards her last night and now he didn't feel that attractive towards her like that but was still though. Just not as bad, which made him wonder what had happened.

He watched her chest gently rise up and down with breath. Making him relieved that she was alive but felt his anger rise when he looked over at the bandaged wound on her should from Delano. Then he remembered what he said about a warning. Which made Marc wonder what he was trying to warn his own sister from.

Nothing made sense right now from Delano's sudden kindness to make him feral. Marc sighed heavily seeing as all this contemplating about last night was starting to give him a headache. Des stirred and slowly opened her eyes. He froze at seeing those beautiful sea green eyes look at him.

"Hey." She said, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Good to see someone kept me company." Marc gave her a smile before giving her a small peck on the cheek. "You had me worried." He said.

She smiled when he kissed her cheek then her expression turned serious. "I wonder why Delano was acting like that." She said as realization dawned on her face. "He was trying to warn me about our father but what I can't figure out yet."

Marc was confused but by how she said that her father must be a very bad man. "Don't worry me nor the rest of the X-Men here won't let him get you." He said with dead seriousness in his tone. She nodded. "Yeah and the same goes with Volt. But he doesn't know about it though. Seeing as Delano only showed up with only us two around." She said.

"Don't worry I'll tell him." He said, getting up. "You just rest up seeing as you've been through a lot last night." She grabbed his arm just as he was about to leave. He turned with a quizzical look on his face.

"Don't hurt my brother despite what he did. I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt anyone." She pleaded with him. For fear that he might want to do harm for hurting her. He nodded in agreement. "Don't worry we'll get him back."

Des felt relieved and let his arm go. Wanting the only family she had left to stay alive. Which consists of her brothers: Volt and Delano. Her father was considered an outcast to them ever since he turned into a mad scientist, literally. Hence the scar on Delano's head from the attack from long ago.

Marc left the medical wing and up to the main mansion floors. He was determined to find Delano at any cost. Seeing as if he found Delano then he'll surely find their father. Grabbing his keys and heading out to his truck. He was going to get Volt and search the entire area for them.

A/N: Last week my comp crashed but only the motherboard. So, thankful we had another comp around besides the other one. I thought I lost everything on the hard drive but nope it's safe. -smiles-
