A/N: Because I had promised to get the next chapter up by the New Year okay a day late I really only finished half of what I wanted to get done. So this is Chapter Three Part One: Rogue, Remy, Amara, and John's Arrival. There isn't too much dialogue or anything but there will be in the next Part of Chapter Three, when the rest arrive aka Roberto, Rahne, Kurt and Amanda. Hope you enjoy it, although it is a bit shorter than usual, had to get something out though. With the semester ending in school and finals approaching I have no idea when the next part will be out, hopefully sometime before Spring Break if I get lucky. By the way I'd like to thank, just wondering, for finding my bio mistake Nate is supposed to be actually 6'1" and 193 pounds, if you want an explanation see what I wrote to just wondering.
MImato-4eva: Yes this story is taking me an extremely long time to write, especially with school and all the other activities I'm in. Yeah, although I did make a Bio mistake which I'll fix. Yeah, accents, I saw someone type the Australian accent loike this so I thought it sounded about right, and southern I know a few southern people and from the comics so it's kind of easy to pick up on after awhile. Romance, ahh, I have been debating on that one myself, right now I'm trying to make Nate seem just "Girl-Crazy" you'll see that more in Part Two of this Chapter but I'm not sure, thinking that I might though. And reforming the X-Men and Brotherhood, now that depends on how people like this story, if enough people want me too, I'll make a sequel having them reform the groups, although maybe two years or so would pass or something so more of them are teenagers. There might be a few groups then depending all on what people think. Hope I answered your questions well enough.
Lance Avalanche Alvers: Yeah, but I feel I am dying with the schoolwork, hope this is soon enough for an update, I might actually make the Chapters in Two parts if it'll mean you guys get to read it sooner.
Prophet-Song: Yes, I've actually seen a couple of other ones like this after I had started writing it, but I thought mine would be more interesting having it a reunion and things. There will be more Rachel bashing, quite frankly I don't like her either, lol, so of course I'll bash on her. Logan will suffer, a lot more suffering in the second part which might be very long actually when I think of all I want to include in it.
ME: Heh, most people do like Remy and Rogue the most, I've found that out, they aren't really my favorite in evolution, they were better in the comics least in my opinion. And I really am not big on Amara/John cause I don't think they would in reality get along with how they were made out but I saw many people like the couple so I decided to make them a couple. There is a chance of children pairings cause a few people do want them, so I might actually do it, but I don't know who would be paired together in reflection of the fact of age and there couldn't be too much romance in the younger children, also there is a very unequal number of men to women ratio. But I might consider it by doing a poll on romance at the end of the whole Chapter Three.
Browneyedimagination: Ahh, see those were the two I think would not get along at all. Especially because Ana is Rogue's daughter and Nate is Jean's daughter. Those two I don't see getting along, actually I was thinking of having Nate get irritated at her in the second part, cause of her hair and his being alike. Sami I found probably won't be liked cause she is like Tabitha and many people don't like Tabitha I'm a rare Tabby fan and proud of it! Yeah, my friend is a Remy/Rogue fan too, I'm not too big on the couple in EVO but I like them in the comics. Hope this update is soon enough!
just wondering: I love you! Thank you for finding my mistake in the Bios! To explain the error, I originally had Nate as being fourteen, 5'9" 135 lbs which changed to fifteen 5'10" 135 lbs after I wrote Rachel being thirteen. Then looking back I thought, 'hmm Scott and Jean would probably have the oldest kid cause they are they oldest X-Men' which made me change his age to be seventeen, but I must have forgot to change his height and weight. He is really supposed to be 6'1" and 193 pounds. Thank you so much for finding my error, hope you like this chapter part. I'll fix that soon I really should put the bios in chapter one's spot too. Thanks again!
AnimeSiren: I will, I really enjoy writing this story if you have any ideas of what you want to happen in the summer review them or e-mail them to me!
LS: I am not a big Kurt and Amanda fan, but I know a lot of people like how Lance and Kitty are together in evolution so I wrote it that way coincidentally I know a bunch of Amanda and Kurt fans so I wrote that in too. I actually enjoy Kurt and Kitty myself, but I also like Kitty and Lance.
Shippou1990: Hope you love this part too, even though it's short, but I really wanted to get something for you guys out to read, so you're not dying in anticipation, cause I know how it feels to wait for fanfics to come out.
fireice-gurl: I'm glad you enjoy it I'm really trying to write it for you guys using couples I know everyone loves, or most people love seeing as how other people like other couples myself included. If you want to see something happen review it or e-mail it to me and I'll try and write it in! I love hearing other peoples ideas.
prep slayer: Oh, see she doesn't have control of her powers. She had just cheated her powers by stealing Leech's power he makes mutant powers inactive she inactivated her powers like she did to defeat apocalypse and had sex with Remy to have her children. Her children are immune because they came from her egg and were in her body. She still however, has no control and must wear the gloves when touching Remy or anyone else. Hope that cleared it up for you!
Chapter Three
Part One
Rogue, Remy, Amara, and John's Arrival
The Xavier Institute for Gifted YoungstersThe next morning Scott Summers woke up slowly, opening his eyes to see a red tinted world. A small sigh escaped his mouth wondering if he'll ever be able to control his power, he was doubting it now. Scott glanced at the clock, which numbers were harder to see since they were red as it was. He barely made out that it was four-thirty, but he slid out from under his covers making sure to not disrupt his wife's sleep.
Scott's bare feet padded along the carpeting towards his bureau. He looked down making sure his visor was there and he closed his eyes and changed out of his sleepwear goggles to his visor. Scott reopened his eyes to another world of red as he put his goggles away. The visor, Scott had learned was a good way to get dressed without knocking off his sunglasses and threatening to put a hole through his clothes or wall.
"Scott?" Jean said lowly seeing her husband up at the crack of dawn like usual.
"Yes?" Scott replied looking over at his wife who was still underneath the covers.
"Never mind." Jean said seeing the look on his face and she slid out of bed and began to make it. Scott shrugged his shoulders lightly as he put on a forest green shirt with a yellow stripe going across his chest. He fixed the collar as he opened his drawer looking for a pair of pants, he pulled out a pair of khaki jeans, least that's what he thought they were, they were the lightest so it was safe for him to assume they were indeed khaki.
"You think our kids have gotten along with their room-mates okay?" Jean asked, striking up a conversation, although her mind was elsewhere.
"I'm sure Nate has, Rachel, she's a bit more hostile to new people." Scott said as he pulled on his pants and headed to where his sneakers were.
"I know, although she warmed up to Sami very fast." Jean stated after making their bed and gracefully walking over to her own dresser and opening it pulling out a beige shirt and blue jeans.
"Yeah, so did Nate, a little too fast." Scott replied after finishing tying his shoes. He headed back to his bureau and got out his sunglasses.
"Scott, he is seventeen…" Jean began to say as she stripped out of her nightgown and into her clothes she had set aside.
"I know that, but-" Scott said as Jean interrupted.
"Let him, he's nearly an adult and can do things on his own." Jean said to him using her telekinesis to bring her shoes over to herself.
"I guess you're right as always Jean." Scott said shutting his eyes and changing to his sunglasses. He opened his eyes to find Jean smiling over at him.
"Good, now then, back to business, we should wait for the rest of the families to come, I think the professor said Rogue and Remy would arrive first, then I think St. John and Amara." Jean stated remembering a conversation she had with Charles as they were in the Cerebro room locating the flights and determining the speed.
"So, are we going to pick them up at the airport?" Scott asked as Jean thought for a minute.
"I guess so, Charles said Rogue and Remy should arrive after five sometime and Amara and St. John sometime after five as well."
"Well, we should head out then, what about Amanda and Kurt and Rahne and Roberto."
"Professor said sometime after ten for Kurt and Amanda. I think he said after noon for Rahne and Roberto, so let's just get Rogue and Amara first."
"All right, let's go then." Scott said taking his wife's arm and they headed out of their room.
Air Plane – Rogue and Remy LeBeauRogue stirred in her sleep on the airplane and slowly opened her eyes to see two pairs of red on black eyes starring at her. She slowly yawned and shut her eyes reopening them to see Luke and Liz staring at her. She looked at the two of them then behind her seeing that Remy was awake as was Ana, Henri looked to be asleep.
"Ma, how long before weh reach this place?" Liz complained restlessly.
"Anah tahme now." Rogue replied looking at Luke who was still staring up at her.
"Ah'm hungry." Complained Luke as Rogue laughed.
"Remy'll gi't 'im somet'in' t' eat." Remy said unbuckling his seatbelt and getting up to search for food for his hungry son.
"Ah knew weh shoulda packed snacks." Rogue mumbled to herself more than anyone else.
"Ma, what tahme is it?" Ana replied behind her mother, she was getting restless sitting still and had taken her seatbelt off and stood up stretching.
"Passengers should fasten their seatbelts for we are preparing to land." An announcement came over the speaker as Ana sat back down and rebuckled her seatbelt.
"Now where's that Swamp Rat fatha of yoahs." Rogue said out loud looking for Remy. She spotted him a minute later coming back with an ice cream cone in his hand. He handed it to Luke who began to lick it while he sat back down, buckling his seatbelt. Remy's smile was as wide as a Cheshire cat's smile, which made Rogue look at him curiously.
"Remah…" Rogue began.
"Oui, ma cherie?" Remy replied as she continued.
"Where didja git that ahce cream cone?" Rogue said as she took a tissue out of her purse and wiped Luke's face.
"Jus' 'roun, y' know Remy."
"Yeah Ah do, ya bettah not have stolen that from some othah kid."
"Would Remy d' such a t'in'? Stealin' ice crea! Remy's surprised at y' cherie!"
"Where'd ya git it then?" Rogue asked her green eyes searching his red and black ones.
"From de kid in t'ird class." Remy said in barely a whisper.
"What did ya say!" Rogue said raising her voice as Remy looked away from her burning green eyes.
"Remy say not'in." Remy said closing his mouth.
"Ya can't jus' do that!" Rogue said as Remy just shook his head. "Jus' wait until weh git off of tha plane, Swamp Rat." Rogue said smiling evilly.
"Ma where'd Pa git tha ahce cream?" Liz asked as her mother sighed.
"Ah'm not sure but all Ah know is, he's in big trouble foah gittin it." Rogue said glaring back at Remy.
"Pa, where'd ya git tha ahce cream?" Ana whispered to her father as he smirked.
"Remy kinda stole it from dis kid in de t'ird class, 'e didn't know Roguey would git all defensive 'bout it." Remy whispered back to his daughter.
"Oh..." Ana said as the plane landed on the ground and Remy shook Henri awake. Rogue and Remy were still not talking to each other as the exited the plane holding carry-on luggage. Remy had went to get the rest of their luggage and came back with it and smiled sheepishly at Rogue as he handed her some flowers.
"Don't ya dare trah an' brahbe meh ta talk ta ya again."
"Well, cherie, it seems dat y' talked t' Remy after all." Remy said with a grin on his face.
"Shut up, Swamp Rat." Rogue said as the family walked along at the airport.
"Ah'm tahed, Mama." Liz said as she wobbled along as fast as her little legs would take her.
"Ah know ya ahre sweetah." Rogue said as they moved to a bench and Liz and Luke sat down.
"Rogue? Is that you?" Came the voice of Jean Grey as she approached the family of six.
"Oh Gawd, of all tha people ta send ta pick us up…" Rogue mumbled to herself as Jean and Scott walked over to the family, Scott and Rogue hugged as did Jean and Remy, then Scott and Remy shook hands while Jean hugged a reluctant Rogue.
"Here let us take some bags." Jean said as she took a few bags from little Luke and Scott took some from Liz.
"Thank Gawd!" Liz cried out seeing Scott take most of her bags. Scott and Jean smiled at the kids as they walked to the limo, placing many of the bags inside the trunk.
"So what are your kids names?" Jean asked seeing the four kids staring at her.
"Ana, Henri, Liz, and Luke." Rogue mumbled to Jean, not too excited to see her at all.
"What pretty names." Jean commented as Rogue shrugged.
"Remah an' Ah lahked them." She said as she saw Liz's face turn and look at her.
"Mama, look at how big this car is! Wah ain't our car this big?" She said jumping in the back of the limo.
"Dat is a limo, pet'te." Remy said to his youngest daughter.
"So, wah ahre weh jus' sittin' 'round here?" Rogue asked Scott.
"Oh, we're also picking up Amara and her family."
"Oh, all rahght." Rogue said watching her kids closely.
"Hey Ma, Ah'll beh rahght back Ah'm goin' ta tha bathroom."
"Meh ta! Meh ta!" Cried out Liz jumping out of the limo and catching up with her older sister, Ana.
"Beh careful, Ana, watch yoah sista." Rogue called after them.
"Ah'm bored." Henri said in a defeated tone as he leaned against the limo.
"How old our your children?" Jean asked as Rogue rolled her eyes and Remy quickly answered.
"Ana est seize, Henri est treize, Liz est dix et Luke est cinq." Remy said, answering in French, Rogue muffled a laugh as Jean nodded her head.
"What about ya, have any kids?" Rogue asked as Jean nodded her head.
"Two, Nate and Rachel." Jean said.
"Nate's seventeen and Rachel is thirteen." Scott added as he saw a family get off of a plane, it looked like Amara's family.
"Remy t'inks 'e sees John's family wit' Amara an' de kids." Remy said as Scott nodded his head.
Amara, John, Pyra, Jake, and Ameila were all getting off the plane, Amara's stomach was bulging, even under her maternity clothes. John was struggling with all of Amara and his own bags while the kids had their own. Amara spotted Rogue and Jean and waved seeing the girls' wave back.
"John, I can see Jean and Rogue, they aren't too far away from us." Amara said as her husband struggled with a few bags.
"Oy see." He managed to get out as he approached the limo.
"Pyra, can you get our other luggage with Jake?" Amara asked her eldest daughter.
"How am Oy supposed ta do thot when Oy already got bags?"
"I'll take them."
"Be careful, Sheila." John warned his wife as he headed over to the limo as fast as he could. He met up with Scott and Remy halfway and handed them the bags and he left to go over with his daughter and son to get the other luggage. Eventually, John, Pyra, and Jake got the rest of the luggage and joined Amelia and Amara over with the rest of the people.
"Are we ready to leave?" Asked Amara as Rogue shook her head.
"Mah two daughters are spendin' eternity it seems in tha bathroom." Just as Rogue said that she saw her two daughters approaching the limo.
"Sorrah it took so long Ma, Liz was takin' too long." Ana said as she saw that another family was there. "Who are thay?" She asked looking at the five of them.
"It's who weh were waitin' foah, Ana, this is Pyralis, she'll be sharin' a room wit' ya an' some otha gal." Rogue said as she got in the limo joining the rest of her family.
The Xavier Institute For Gifted YoungstersJubilee awoke early the next morning to hear her newest addition to the family crying. She sighed remembering how her other two kids had been, at least she got a full nights sleep. Jubilee remembered how her other two girls cried constantly all night. Jubilee slipped out of bed and picked up her daughter and felt her diaper and sighed as she set Erika back down and went to Bobby shaking him awake.
"Huh, what?"
"Can you get the changing station set up that you brought with us?"
"Sure." Bobby said as he got out of bed wearing only boxers and went into the closet bringing out a box.
"I'm going to go make some milk for her, she'll probably be hungry too." Jubilee said as she grabbed a baby bag and headed down the stairs.
"Great, she leave's me to change her." Bobby said as he finished setting up the table. He walked over and grabbed the diaper bag and got out all of the stuff he would need and then walked over to Erika, her face was pinkish for she was still crying. Bobby sighed and smiled at seeing his daughter.
"So far you're not like your sisters at all." Bobby said to her as he lifted her out of the crib. Bobby carried her to the changing area and quickly changed her throwing out her soiled diaper.
"There, feel better?" Bobby said as he set her back in her crib. He moved the changing station to a corner in the room and then walked back over to his beautiful daughter. She stared up at him with big hazel eyes and he smiled seeing her small frame, like his wife's.
"You don't hurt yourself now." He said to her tickling her as she laughed, that brought a smile on Bobby's face.
"How's she doing?" Jubilee asked as she walked back in the room.
"Good, bottle ready yet?"
"No, Ororo was up and said she'd make it for me. She told me to go check on you and the baby, guess it's hard for her seeing how we've grown up and everything." Jubilee said as Bobby nodded his head.
"I know, they think we're going to screw up with our kids." Bobby said with a laugh looking back down at his daughter and he walked over to their bed and began to make it.
"She's different than her sisters." Jubilee said as she looked down at her daughter with jet-black hair like her own.
"Which is a good thing." Bobby called out after making the bed. "Come get changed, don't need to be wearing your night gown all day." Bobby said as Jubilee nodded her head. She walked to the closet and pulled out a pair of blue jeans and a yellow shirt with short sleeves.
"So Bobby, do you still want to have a son?" Jubilee asked casually as Bobby pulled out of a drawer a pair of gray slacks and a brown shirt.
"I'd like a son, but, I don't know, I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to do." Bobby said, he cared for his wife, wanting her to be okay with everything.
"Well, I don't know, we have three wonderful daughters, which I love to death, for I've always wanted a daughter, but I know how much you want a son." Jubilee said to her husband after dressing.
"I do want a son I can play ball with and teach him sports and about women, but I also love our daughters, and I don't know if you don't mind going through another pregnancy… but there's always that possibility that we might get another daughter." Bobby said pulling his brown shirt over his head and finishing dressing.
"Well, so far Erika is different. But I know she's not a boy so it's not the same." Jubilee said walking over to the crib and holding the railing.
"We'll talk about this later, Jubes, I don't want you to feel pressured to give me a son. So far I'm fine with these three wonderful girls." Bobby sat walking up and wrapping his arms around Jubilee and kissing her head. Erika in the crib looked up and smiled at her parents, which brought a smile on both of their faces.
"Let's go down and eat something." Jubilee said as she reached down into the crib and picked up Erika, Bobby moved away from Jubilee and smiled at his baby girl.
"All right, and we can see if Erika's ba-ba is ready, right Erika?" Bobby said as Jubilee laughed at her husband and the two of them left their room with Erika safely in Jubilee's arms.
In a room farther down the hall of Jubilation and Bobby's was Lance and Kitty's room. Kitty had been up earlier throwing up because of her pregnancy and usual morning sickness, which has taken its toll on her. Lance slowly opened his brown eyes to hear his beautiful wife throwing up in their bathroom. He opened his eyes wider as he pushed himself out of the bed.
"Kitty?" Lance said as he walked over to the bathroom and lightly knocked on the door.
"Yeah?" Kitty responded as she flushed the toilet and pulled herself off of the ground.
"Are you all right?" Lance asked as he heard the toilet flush in the background.
"I'm fine, just some morning sickness." Kitty said as she walked over to the sink and turned on the water lightly splashing some cold water on her face.
"You've never had it this bad before." Lance said once he realized that he had heard her throwing up through his sleep and she must have been there for at least twenty minutes.
"I'm fine, guess this baby will be different than the last." Kitty said as she opened the door after shutting the water off. Lance smiled at seeing his wife and wrapped his arms around her lovingly and placing a soft kiss on the top of her head.
"I hope he or she will be." Lance said as the two moved from their position.
"We'll have to think of names again." Kitty said as the two of them moved to their bed, pulling the sides of the comforter to make it.
"How about Austin if it's a boy?" Lance asked as Kitty squished her face together.
"That's a name of a city and every time I call him I'll think of it."
"What about September if it's a girl."
"Right, a girl born in January named September." Kitty said as she made her way to her dresser.
"What? It'll be cute." Lance said sheepishly grinning as he walked to the closet.
"What about Iris if it's a girl."
"Reminds me of the Goo Goo Doll song." Lance called from the closet as he emerged carrying a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt and black vest.
"All right, what about Chance if it's a boy."
"Hey I kind of like that name, maybe who knows." Lance replied as he took off his bed -shirt and looked over at his wife. Kitty had a pair of khaki jeans slung over her shoulders and a pale pink short-sleeved shirt in her hands.
"I do too, I know Daddy said he was going to name me Chance if I was a boy." Kitty said smiling as she walked over to the bed sitting down on it and putting her clothes beside her.
"I'm glad you weren't a boy." Lance said with a chuckle as he zipped up his jeans.
"Me too, well what about some other names, incase it's a girl."
"Umm, can Chance be a girls name?" Lance asked as he pulled the black vest on.
"Don't think so but nice try Lance. And we should think of other male names too incase in January we don't like the name anymore." Kitty replied as she stood up pulling on her pants.
"All right, maybe we can ask everyone else for some suggestions." Lance recommended as he watched his wife finish dressing.
"Good idea, I'm sure Wanda and Ray would have a few good names seeing as how many children they have." Kitty responded as Lance walked over to her linking his arm with her own.
"I agree." Lance stated as the two of them headed out of their room arms still linked. Kitty rested her head against Lance's shoulder as they continued down the hall.
Similarly, down the hall, in Wanda and Ray's room the two of them were cuddling under the covers of their bed. Ray leaned his face in and quickly pecked the side of Wanda's cheek as she looked up at him with the corner of her blue eye. Ray grinned as Wanda smiled at him and she then glared at the clock beside the bed.
"We should get up, I can hear everyone else already getting up." Wanda said as Ray nodded his head quickly.
"Of course, can't lay here all day, after all, Amara, Roberto, and Rahne are coming today." Ray said remembering his fellow new recruits that would be arriving today.
"As well as the others." Wanda reminded him as he got out of bed and walked to the closet opening the door and stepping inside. Wanda rolled onto her stomach and pushed herself up and she stepped off of her bed.
"I wonder how everyone has been, it's been so long." Ray said coming back out of the closet with a pair of green jeans and a khaki shirt with two green stripes at the bottom of it.
"I know, we should have kept in touch, I agree, especially with our closer friends." Wanda said thinking of Lance and her brother, Pietro. She hadn't a clue where he was, last time she saw him was at her wedding. Wanda pulled out a pale red shirt and a pair of blue jeans and glanced over at Ray who was standing in his boxers.
"Well we will now, it looks like some of our kids have made some great new friends." Ray stated as Wanda nodded her head but Ray couldn't see since his head was in his shirt.
"Yes, I noticed Janet was having a great time with Andrea and Drew." Wanda said as she recalled a conversation with her daughter that night about if she would ever get a power like those two and her siblings.
"Likewise Will was having fun with Jon, although I hope they didn't cause too much trouble of any sorts." Ray added the last part as an after thought.
"I'm sure they were behaved." Wanda stated as she finished pulling her shirt over her head.
"They better have been, specially Will, he should know better since we are guests here."
"Even though you've lived here before..." Wanda said to him as she made the bed.
"Yeah." Ray said helping Wanda with the bed. Soon the two finished setting up their room they too headed out to meet with the rest of the adults downstairs.
The last couple to wake up was Tabitha and Sam Guthrie. Sam woke up to see his wife's beautiful blue eyes staring back at him, he smiled softly as he watched his wife lay beside him. Sam silently got out of his bed and Tabitha followed suit, making their bed in silence. Finally Sam spoke up.
"How do ya thahnk are kids are doin'?" Sam asked, he was a bit nervous, hoping his children didn't take after their mother and hating the place at first. Tabby smiled at him, his face was scrunched in worry. She moved from the bed to a dresser.
"Sami looked to be having a good time with Rachel and Nate. Tim was having an equally good time with Kat and Wendy, as well, Drew and Jen had their own fun with the other kids." Tabby summed up as she took out a pair of pale blue jeans and a black tank top that fit her well. Sam smiled after hearing her response and got out his own clothes, a pair of blue jeans and a plaid shirt.
"That's great!" Sam said as he unbuttoned his bed shirt and began to get dressed. Tabby had already gotten in her jeans by this time and was watching Sam for a brief moment. She smiled teasingly at him as she reached for her shirt and put it on, by this time Sam was in his jeans and grabbing the lightweight shirt.
"Yeah, so are you glad to be back here?" Tabby asked quirking up her eyebrow waiting for his response as she began to put on her earrings.
"Yah, Ah've missed everahone, an' tha mansion o' course, who wouldn't miss it." Sam replied as he finished buttoning up his shirt, he walked over to the mirror and began to brush his hair beside Tabitha whom was also brushing her hair now.
"I didn't miss it when I first left or anything, I don't really miss too much about it." Tabby said nonchalantly as she put down her brush and turned to face Sam. Sam put his own brush down a few seconds later and faced her pulling her into his body with his strong muscular arms. Tabby tilted her head back to look into Sam's eyes.
"Ah know, girl, but Ah hope ya at least trah an' enjoy it this tahme."
"Ah will, Samuel." Tabby said, slightly mocking his accent has he leaned forward and Tabby stood on her tippy toes leaning forward into a kiss. After a moment the two parted and they headed for the door. They were going down to the kitchen to meet up with the rest of the adults.
Downstairs, in the kitchen were all of the couples, Tabitha and Sam, Kitty and Lance, Jubilee and Bobby, Ray and Wanda, as well as Jean and Scott, Rogue and Remy, and Amara and John. The two new couples that had arrived were hugged as many had said how much they missed them, after everyone calmed down, Scott and Jean led Rogue and Remy as well as Amara and John to their rooms. Ororo, whom was also downstairs had given Erika a bottle and took Ana, Pyra, Henri, Jake, Liz, Luke, and Amelia to the rooms they shared with other kids or the rooms they would share.
"I can't believe Rogue actually was able to have children." Kitty said as she munched away on a bowl of cereal.
"I know, but I heard she stole Leach's power and shorted her own out." Lance replied to his wife as he stood up, heading to the sink to wash his dishes. The rest of the adults didn't seem to into the conversation about Rogue and her children so they idly chatted away about how their children were doing in school and what they were into.
"How is that possible?" Kitty said, wondering how Rogue would be able to do that, as she continued to ponder, Charles, Logan, and X-23 had entered the kitchen, taking seats and beginning to eat. Soon after Hank arrived followed closely by Jean, Scott, Rogue, Remy, Amara, and John.
While the adults chatted away at the breakfast table, upstairs in the children's rooms they were just beginning to wake, for it was now seven. The first up was Nate, who was used to waking up at seven in the summer, for his training sessions usually began around seven-thirty during the weekends, and it was now a Sunday. As he awoke he heard the steady breathing of his room-mate Sean and then remembered more families would be arriving soon.
Nate swung his legs over the edge of his bed and they hit the fuzzy carpet as he pushed up off of the bed to be standing. He then moved quietly making his bed for the day. He glanced at the boy in the make-shift bed that Sean had made it seems, Sean had just slept on Nate's couch. Nate shook his head, he knew he would have to get an extra bed in his room, and he knew where the extra beds were so he knew he would have to do it soon.
As Nate looked away from the boy he hardly knew, his attention focused on the institute, another family had already arrived, actually two had, with a total of seven children accompanying them. He smiled to himself, loving his telepathic abilities. He soon went to his closet and pulled out a black tee shirt with a pair of black jeans that fit his lower body perfectly. He used his telekinesis to pick up a pair of his combat boots. He sent them over to his bed, also sending his clothes with the aid of his telekinesis. He walked to his bureau and grabbed his deodorant applying it then walking over to his bed.
Nate glanced over at Sean, who was stirring in his sleep, Nate could tell he would be up soon, so he began to put his jeans on overtop of his boxers, the only thing he slept in. After getting his black jeans on he used his telekinesis to bring himself some socks from his bureau and put them on as well. By this time, Sean had awoken and sat up slowly in his bed. Nate looked over at the boy who had black and red hair.
"Hello." Sean said to Nate as he shook his head, getting rid of the sleepiness that he still had. Sean leaned back against the back of the couch and looking at Nate, this was the first time he had been with his roommate, other than at dinner, but Nate only talked to Sami and Rachel.
"Hi." Nate said as he pulled on his black shirt, it was similar to the one he wore yesterday, but the sleeves were shorter and it was of a lighter shade. Sean wasn't too sure of what to say to his room-mate, he didn't know where to begin, he didn't even know if Nate knew his name!
"I'm Sean."
"I know, so what's your power?" Nate asked as he telekinetically brought himself a hairbrush. He began to brush his hair as Sean stood up and stretched his legs while he talked.
"Well, I have telekinesis, and it seems you do as well." Sean said as he located his suitcase and used his telekinesis to bring it over to himself.
"Yes, I do. And telepathy among other gifts." Nate replied watching Sean pull out a blue tank top and blue jeans with a red patch at the knee. Nate sighed and used his telekinesis to pull out his lower drawer of his one bureau. "If you can fit your stuff in there do it, otherwise I can get some other things for you to use." Nate added as Sean smiled.
"Thanks, Nate." Sean said as he pulled out some white socks and sent his suitcase over to the drawer as he began to dress.
"Well, if you need anything, I'm only a thought away, but, don't think too loud and don't ask me stupid questions." Nate said as he walked over to the door and left the room.
"Okay." Sean said as the door shut. He quickly finished dressing and moved to the drawer, he fit most of his things in there, but decided against calling Nate. Instead he tucked the suitcase under Nate's bed, where it was before, and began to fix Nate's couch. After he finished all of that he decided to go downstairs to grab something to eat.
Green eyes slowly opened to stare at her beige ceiling in her room. Rachel slowly sat up in her bed, yawning once and her eyes caught onto the sleeping figure in the bed next to her own. She had seen it the night before when she came up to her room, but she chose to ignore it. She decided to do that today too, it was better that way.
Rachel hurriedly made her bed while using her telekinesis to bring herself clothes. A light green tank top with beige shorts were what she had gotten. She quickly began to dress as the girl in the bed next to hers stirred. Rachel debated on if she should use her telepathy to keep the girl asleep, except she decided against it.
After she dressed Sarah woke up to see a blue of green and red exit the room, she sighed as she sat up. Rachel had left without even waiting for her to wake up. 'She's so rude.' Sarah thought to herself as she got out of her bed making it as well. She moved over to her suitcases and picked out an outfit consisting of black jean shorts and a red spaghetti strap top. As she dressed she wondered what she would do during the day.
Sarah had rapidly gotten dressed, and grabbed a pair of her sneakers and put them on. Deciding against earrings, she glanced around the room, seeing if there was anything out of place, or anything she could see that Rachel was hiding. After a speedy examination and finding nothing she headed out of the room, thinking of if she should track her roommate down and talk with her.
The doorknob turned and the solid oak door opened with a small squeak. The two girls entered the room, dropping their bags unto the two unused beds, the third being occupied by a blonde teen. As the blonde with red streaks shut the door the blonde in bed awoke and sensed a presence with her. She rolled out of her bed unknown to the other two girls.
As Sami was on the carpet she could see two pairs of legs from where she was laying beside her bed, she knew the intruders could not see her. In a matter of second she had her shield up and two cherry bombs in her hands. With a devilish smile and a flick like she was playing marbles, the cherry bombs rolled to their targets, bingo.
'Three, two, one.' Sami thought and as the bombs soon exploded, sending the other two girls jumping in the air with a squeak.
"What tha hell was that?" Asked Ana looking accusingly at Pyra.
"Wot ya think that was moy? 'ello Oy make fire." Pyra retorted crossing her arms below her breasts. From Samantha's spot beside her bed, she lightly giggled in her mind as she put her shield down, they weren't going to attack she now knew. The thought of them being her roommates drifted into her thoughts and she pushed herself off of the ground.
"Howdy, Ah suppose y'all are mah roommates then." Sami said, it was early in the morning so she had her accent fully.
"What?"
"Whoa." Said Ana and Pyra as they saw Sami appear from nowhere.
"Wait a minute. Weren't ya jus' asleep in that bed?" Ana asked pointing at the bed that was made and showed no signs of having been slept in. Sami's blue eyes sparkled mischievously.
"Was Ah, or was that jus' yoah mahnd thinkin' Ah was asleep in tha bed." Sami said, playing mind games with the fellow southerner. Pyra let out a giggle as Ana's jaw dropped a couple of inches, this girl had confused her.
"Oy'm Pyralis, but ya can call moy Pyra, an' Ana is the one wit' 'er mouth 'angin' open." Pyra said sticking out her hand for the blonde to shake.
"Samantha, or Sami." Sami said shaking Pyra's hand and smiling at Ana. "Ya know, sugah, Ah was only kiddin' about that. Ah was asleep in tha bed, but ya had 'Gullible' written all ovah yoah face, so Ah couldn't resist." Sami said to Ana who promptly shut her mouth and glared at Sami.
"Ah did not believe ya." Ana said turning her back to face Sami and Pyra. Sami glanced at Pyra and Pyra shrugged as a response.
"Fahne, if ya say so, anahway, y'all should unpack an' git settled in, Ah claimed that dresser just ta tell ya." Sami said walking over to her dresser and opening the drawer. She pulled out a short blue jean skirt and a black tank top that was low cut and threw them on her bed, glancing at the other two girls. Pyra was wearing black jeans and a red tank top and Ana was decked out in all black. Black lipstick, black knee length skirt, black combat boots, and a black short sleeve shirt. She noticed lots of black jelly bracelets on her wrists and dark eye shadow she assumed to be black.
"Oy'll take this dresser." Pyra said as she pointed to the dresser closest to the bed she picked earlier. Ana sighed taking the 'reject' dresser and glanced at the other two girls as she began to unpack.
"Ya're gonna be hot." Sami said as she shimmied out of her bed shirt that was getting to small for her bust.
"Who says." Ana snapped as Sami rolled her eyes.
"Tha weatha man." She stated matter-of-factly as she had began to put on deodorant and a bit of spray.
"Oh god, 'ere she goes ag'in." Pyra said falling onto the bed as Ana looked at her.
"What do ya mean bah that?" Ana asked as Pyra propped herself up on her elbows and looked at Ana.
"Oy'm jus' sayin' it cause all tha way 'ere all ya did was argue wit' moy, an' ya already started wit' Sami."
"Well Ah wasn't the one who decided ta make an explosion at mah foot."
"Jeez, ya can't take a joke?" Sami said as she pulled off her shorts and began to put her skirt on.
"So ya consider a joke nearlah lightin' mah foot on fahre!" Ana said her green eyes narrowing at Sami.
"Whoa calm down, sugah, Ah know how ta control mah powahs so that yoah foot would not catch on fahre."
"Stop callin' meh sugah, mah ma calls me that."
"Well Ah'm sorrah than, Miss Ah'm Greatah Than Thou, but yoah Momma doesn' own tha word, an foah ya information, mah Gramma calls meh that, as well as most folks down in Kentuckah." Sami replied pulling on her shirt that clung to her showing off her curves.
"Well so do tha folks down in Mississippi." Ana said angrily.
"Well than, Ah thought ya mahgt lahke bein' called sugah, cause it'll remind ya of yoah place." Sami said crossing her arms and smirking smugly. Ana looked away from the two girls and smiled, then she started to laugh and Sami and Pyra looked at each other.
"Oy thoink she lost it…" Pyra said as Sami walked over to Ana and put her hand on her shoulder.
"Sugah, ya all rahgt?" Sami said as Ana turned to her.
"Sawrry Sami, Pyra." She said while laughing. "Guess Ah should beh gittin' ta know ya better since we're gonna share this room foah lahke two months or somethin' lahke that." Ana said as she began to try and get along with her roommates at least, she was hard to get to know but Sami and Pyra seemed all right with her.
"Truce then." Sami said and stuck out her hand and Ana took it.
"Truce." Ana replied as they shook on it and released as Pyra piped up.
"Thank God!" The girls laughed as Sami helped the two unpack, and Pyra changed into black shorts and Ana changed into a black tank top. The three girls headed out of their room and down to the kitchen, talking like they were best friends since birth.
Down the hall a few doors a younger girl awoke and glanced at her roommate. Her brown hair fell in front of her eyes as she pushed it back and swung her feet over the side of her bed. She got out of the bed and made it quickly and ran over to her roommate's bed. She climbed up on it and shook the girl.
"Wendy, wake up." Kat said as she continued to shake the girl. Wendy slowly opened her eyes and stared up at Kat's brown eyes.
"Jeez Kat, can't sleep can I?" Wendy said with a laugh as Kat smiled and hopped off her bed.
"Nope, anyway, more people are coming today and I'm so excited, come on let's get dressed." Kat said as she ran over to her dresser, reaching her hand inside without opening the drawer. She pulled out a pink tank top and light blue shorts. Satisfied that the outfit matched she began to change as Wendy had barely gotten out of her bed.
"Hurry up!" Kat cried out as she was already finished dressing and Wendy had barely made her bed.
"I'm moving as fast as I can." Wendy said as Kat rolled her eyes.
"No you're not, what do you want to wear?" Kat asked as Wendy shrugged.
"I don't know."
"Well wear this then." Kat said as she pulled out of Wendy's drawer a khaki skirt and lavenders shirt.
"Fine whatever." Wendy said as she began to get dressed. Kat said on the couch in their room, swinging her legs as she waited, she was so excited, just as if it were Christmas or her Birthday. After Wendy had finished dressing, Kat ran over to her grabbing her arm and pulling her.
"Let's go." Kat said as she ran to the door without opening it and ran right through. Since she was holding onto Wendy, she went through as well.
"Whoa." Wendy said in the hallway as the two headed down the hall and then down the stairs.
Soon enough, everyone was congregated downstairs either in the kitchen or dining room depending on what they were doing. The adults sat in the kitchen, mostly talking as Ororo prepared meals as the children waited patiently in the dining area. Nate and Rachel were in the kitchen, helping Ororo as much as possible while Sami, Ana, and Pyra took the meals to the younger children.
Sean and Sarah had finished their meal and were helping the younger ones, Cindy, Emily, and Jen eat their food. Henri and Tim who had just met today were eating quickly to go outside. Tim was going to show Henri around the place, while Kat and Wendy slowly ate, loving every second of the food that tasted superb!
Most of the younger ones wanted seconds, which kept Ororo salving over the stove with Rachel and Nate's help. Sami joined in too, with a little bit of cooking experience while Ana and Pyra continued to wash the dishes that had been finished and bringing the ones that want seconds over to the rest.
Finally, at around nine, the children had finished their meals and were off in all sorts of directions running jumping and playing. Cindy, Emily, and Jen were in the recreation room while Andrea, Amelia, and Janet shared the room with them. Drew, who had just met Luke brought Luke, his room-mate of two years younger, with him, Will, and Jon to the television room. Liz and Jake, of which were new, had found the game room and sat down in front of the television with controllers in hands as they played a two-player adventure game.
Kat and Wendy had gone off into exploring the rest of the institute, going to the attic with Ororo to see her garden and room. Henri and Tim had run out the door and into the trees, while Rachel had been scolded by Jean to try and get along with Sarah. So Sarah and Rachel had went back to their room to get to know each other. Sean had gone with Pyra to the library while Sami had tried to get Nate to spend some time with her and Ana, although he was reluctant.
While the children had scattered, most of the adults had remained in the kitchen. Although Jubilation, Wanda, Ray, and Bobby headed to Jubilation and Bobby's room with Erika to help with her. Kitty, Lance, and Rogue went to a living room to talk, since Kitty hadn't seen Rogue in twenty years. That left the remaining people in the kitchen, Tabby, Sam, Remy, John, and Amara, for Jean and Scott had went back up to their room. They would have to head out soon to pick up Kurt and Amanda and their children.
