PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!

Remy and Buffy were not too far away when they ran into Mystique. Her mother was glad to see her and tried to persuade her to come with her.

"I can't. Not without dad and the others. So why don't you tell me what you and Magneto did?"

"Nothing for you to be concerned about. Please. Please come with me."

"You know I can't. I hope for the sake of any future relations that you didn't do anything stupid." Buffy said as she and Remy started toward the door.

"Buffy wait!" Buffy turned to look at her mother. "I really do love you."

Buffy nodded grabbing Remy's hand and began running. They reached the door that Cerebo was behind at the same time Storm and the children did.

"You two alright?"

"We're fine. Magneto and mother have already been here. Their scents are all over this place." Buffy said sniffing. Seconds later Scott and Jean joined them.

"Jean. Are you okay?" Storm asked upon seeing her being supported by Scott.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"What's happening? Buffy said Mystique and Magneto have already been here."

"Professor's still in there…with another mutant. He's trapped in some kind of illusion.

Magneto's reversed Cerebro. It's not targeting mutants anymore."

"Who is it targeting?" Buffy asked Jean fearing the answer.

"Everyone else."

"Damn! That bastard started this and my mother is helping Magneto to try and finish it. I think I can stop this but we need to get inside now."

"Everybody stand back," Scott ordered.

"Scott, no. His mind is connected to Cerebro. Opening the doors…could kill him and everyone his mind is linked to," said Jean.

"Wait. Kurt, I need you to take me inside." Storm told him.

"I'm going with you as a backup plan." Buffy nodded her head yes to Storm.

"Buffy? Storm? Who is this guy? Who are you?"

Scott asked them. Kurt opened his mouth to speak. Buffy cut him off.

"Save it for later Kurt. We need to get inside there now."

"Short story. He a teleporter." Storm told Scott as she turned toward Kurt.

"I told you. If I can't see where I'm going-"

"Buffy and I have faith in you."

Those words struck a note with him, and that these two people who barely knew him trusted him that much said a lot. Buffy shifted into Stryker's body. She and Storm each took a hand. Jean moved to look at their faces.

"Don't believe anything you see in there."

With that they all prepared themselves. Kurt began praying. Storm clenched her eyes shut, and Buffy kept her eyes open. In a poof they were inside the room. To the naked eye the room seemed to be empty except for the little girl standing on the platform. Buffy as Stryker stepped forward.

"There's been a change of plan Jason. I want you stop. Our friends are being hurt."

The little girl looked at her weirdly.

"You're not him."

"You're right and I don't ever want to be that bastard. Storm, now!"

Buffy said as her shaped changed back and she moved toward Kurt. As the air around them grew colder Buffy changed in to a big grizzly bear and wrapped herself around Kurt to keep him from freezing.

"What are you doing?" The little girl asked. "Stop it!

Kurt was glad for the warmth Buffy was providing him with her fur coat. It was extremely difficult for Jason to keep his hold on the Professors mind, and soon the professor was free. When the cold had stopped Buffy shifted back to normal. She had barely finished when Kurt grabbed her and Storm. When Kurt released her she felt herself begin to fall.

"Whoa there Chere. Remy's got you." Buffy felt his arms around her waist.

"I'm just a bit dizzy. I'll be okay in a moment."

"We don't have a moment mon amour." He said as he lifted her in his arms and began to run. "This place is coming down."

"We have to get out through the spillway. Storm said as she and Kurt supported the professor. They ran for a little bit before Buffy began to struggle.

"Put me down Remy! I have to find dad."

Dad? Hank was here? Scott thought upon hearing Buffy. They were about to go through the doors when they started to close.

"You don't want to go that way. Trust me."

"Dad!" Buffy said as Remy put her down. She ran to her dad giving him a hug. Scott was giving her an odd look. "You're alright."

Buffy is calling Logan dad? Scott knew he was going to have to have a long talk with his cousin.

"We all won't be alright if we don't get out of here before the water rises."

To prove his point some water sprayed out of the doors as they finished closing. Logan grabbed his daughter's hand and motioned the others toward the exit.

Storm and Kurt carrying the Professor were the first to make out in to the snow. The children followed in their nightclothes shivering as the snow touched their bare feet. One of them slipped falling to the ground, and Logan immediately picked him up. They made it to the spot where the helicopter should have been.

"The helicopter was right here!" Logan told them.

"She really left us here to die." Buffy mumbled.

Logan had saw the hurt on his daughter's face and wanted to hurt Mystique for putting it there. The look was suddenly squashed with determination. Everyone looked around unsure of where to go or what to do. The sound of the Blackbird's engine startled everyone as they saw it appear above them. As the plane literally collided with the snow they all began running for it. Kurt teleported the Professor on to the plane. Buffy was about to follow them when she noticed her father heading toward the woods. She and Remy ran to catch up with them and found Stryker chained to the dam wall.

"Who has the answers Wolverine? Those people? That creature in your arms? Huh?"

Logan handed the boy to Remy as he went for the dog tag around his neck. He yanked it off and threw it at Stryker. He took Buffy's hand.

"We'll take our chances with them."

Logan said nodding his head toward Remy and the boy. Buffy nodded smiling. They turned and walked away.

"One day someone will finish what I've started, Wolverine. One day!" Buffy laughed as the child stuck his blue tongue at the man.

The dam had

finally broken and the water was rushing toward them. No one had saw Jean as she snuck out of the plane. She was using her powers to keep the water back and get the plane in the air. Professor Xavier was the first to notice her absence. Buffy held on to her father's arm tightly as she watched the scene happen. Once Jean had the plane in the air she let the water consume her.

"She's gone." Logan was the first to speak. "She's gone."

"Don't you say that!" Scott yelled as he came at Logan. "We gotta go back."

"She's gone."

"No! No."

Scott said in a teary voice. Buffy moved to take Scott in to her arms. He collapsed in her arms sobbing. She lowered them to the floor. She just held him as he mourned. The majority of the plane had left them alone to talk. Scott's tears had finally stopped, but he was still whimpering.

"It'll be alright Scott. Jean saved all our lives. She knew we would never have gotten out in time. She's a hero, and I know that it feels like you've lost your world, but it will get better. Jean loved you very much Scott always remember that. Never forget that she will always be with you in here and in there."

Buffy said pointing to his heart and his head. She hugged Scott tighter and he finally looked up at her with soggy expression.

"When did my little cousin grow up and become an adult?"

"I haven't been a child in three years Scott. I had to grow up pretty fast." Scott's expression changed to a somewhat confused one. "I tell you about it once things have settled down a little more. We'll have plenty of time because I'm not going anywhere."

"You really have grown up. Thank you Buffy."

"For what?"

"For just being you, and I have so much I want to ask you. But not now."

That was how the two of them sat for the rest of the trip back to the school.

The mansion had been a mess. Many of the windows had been broken and doors needed to be replaced. Buffy had taken a break from the repairs and began walking around the grounds. She had been wandering aimlessly and soon found herself at the grave they had placed for Jean. It had been five days since she had given her life to save theirs.

"Would you like some company?" Buffy turned to see Scott. She hadn't noticed him standing there. "What brings you out here Buffy?"

"My legs." Buffy said with a slight smile before returning to her broody state. She was sure Scott was rolling his eyes behind his red cortex glasses. "I don't know. I just started walking and this is where I ended up. You?"

"I feel closer to Jean here. It was one of her favorite spots to come to be alone." Scott took a good look at Buffy sad and moody face. "You look like your puppy just got ran over. Want to talk about it?"

"I guess the past week has finally caught up with me. I got to thinking about a lot of things."

"You know you can tell me anything. Why don't you start by telling me why you're calling Logan dad?"

"It's quite a long story. You sure you got the time?"

"All the time in the word."

The two took a seat underneath a tree. Buffy began telling Scott about how they invaded her home and how she ended up in the lab. She told him about how she escaped and how her father, Storm, and Gambit had saved her and brought her to the school. She grew quiet and began fidgeting with her hands. Scott placed his hands over Buffy's. She met his eyes.

"This doesn't change anything between us Buffy. You will always be my little cousin whether we're related or not. You always be my little cousin who followed me everywhere I went, played house with, and went swimming with during the summer."

"I was hoping you would say that." She said as he hugged her tightly.

"I love you Scotty."

"I love you too Buffy." He kissed her forehead. The two sat in each other's embrace drawing comfort off of each other. "So, what else is on your mind?"

"She left me. I thought she loved me, and yet she ran with Magneto and John in the helicopter leaving us to die. She told me that she loved me, but did she really?"

"Yes, I do."

Mystique said as she came from within the trees. Buffy and Scott stood up. Scott stood in front of Buffy as if to protect her.

"Mystique! How did you get on the grounds?" Scott said preparing to lift his shades off to blast her.

"Your security hasn't been too hard to bypass. You would think the dear Professor would have upgraded by now. Now move out of the way Cyclops. I want to talk to my daughter."

"Anything you have to say to her you can say from there."

"It's alright Scott. I'll talk to her. What do you want my help to try and destroy humanity again? I can't believe you assisted in trying to destroy the woman who raised me. If it weren't for humans I wouldn't be here. So just what gives you the right? Who the hell do you think you are?"

"I'm your mother and I will not be talk to like that! I did what I thought was best to ensure that you could live your life without fear."

"You did this for me? Bull! This was planned long before you knew I was your daughter. I can't deal with you right now. Get off this property!" Buffy took Scott's arm and began walking away.

"Elizabeth, please. Don't leave it like this. I love you and I want to make this work."

Mystique said touching her shoulder.

"And why should I believe you?" Buffy said softly. "Please leave."

"Please Buffy, give me a chance."

"She did and you blew it. Slim take Buffy back to the mansion."

Logan said as he approached the clearing. He had heard the majority of the conversation, and even if he hadn't the look on his daughter's face was enough to tell him. She looked as if she was fighting to hold back the tears. Scott nodded and began ushering Buffy back to the mansion. When Logan was sure that they were far enough away he glared at Mystique.

"You will leave her alone! Don't come near her unless she asks you too. You have hurt her in a way that only a parent could. She has been through so much and now you're trying to destroy her completely with your selfish act. She's the only reason I don't kill you where you stand. Now leave!"

Logan watched as Mystique turned and quickly left the way she had come. When he was sure that she was gone he ran to check on his daughter. He found them sitting on the steps in front of the mansion. Scott was sitting behind her with his arms around her.

"You okay?" He asked taking a seat beside her.

"Yeah. I want to believe her, but I don't know that I can after what she tried to do. Dad, I was hoping that maybe you, Scott, and I could go to LA and see mom. I haven't seen her in three years, but you don't have to go if it would make you uncomfortable. Scott-" Buffy was babbling. Logan placed a finger on her lips.

"There is nothing more I would rather do. I've missed seventeen years of your life. I want to be there for the rest."

"Good. I'll go make the arrangements."

Scott said as he gave her one last hug before getting up and heading inside. Buffy adjusted her position to lean on her dad. She put her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

"Thanks. I think this will be good for Scott. He needs to get away for a bit." Buffy paused for a bit. "He was wrong you know?"

"Who was wrong and about what?" Logan asked.

"Stryker. He called you an animal when we were in the hall by the secret passage right when I entered. You're no animal. You're a loving human being who took a complete stranger and made her feel loved and safe in a world where she had given up on ever feeling like that again. I was dropped on you like a bomb and you have done nothing, but show me how much you love me. You just accepted me into your life as if I had always been a part of it. You could have rejected me, denied me, sent me packing, but you didn't. I finally know what it feels like to have a father who really cares about me. Thank you for being you."

She hugged him tightly again and then kissed his cheek.

"I'm cold and hungry. I'll see you inside."

Logan nodded slowly. He watched her go in, his mind still reeling from her words. He had no idea that he had made such an impact on her life already. Smiling he stood up and followed her into the house.

Sean Malloy-1: I tried to keep Jean alive but it just didn't work with where I wanted this story to go.

From this point on when Buffy is talking about Joyce she'll call her mom. When she is referring to Mystique she say Mother.
