Shout Outs-

Glaivester- Glad you liked it. I didn't know that jean had a child with Apocalypse back in TJ's reality. Was it Armageddon? I just assumed that Rogue absorbed the Fantastic 4 but then again, that would explain the big Skrull chin that she had.

Agent-G- Ain't foreshadowing cool? It was only a matter of time before I brought in my new Fanfic obsession. Gone is Typhoid Mary, in comes X-23!

Slickboy444- If I told you who wins the TJ/X-23 fight it would kinda spoil the fun wouldn't it?

Witch-Uk- I wouldn't want to seduce Kurt but then again, I am a guy. This isn't the first time that Kurt and Wanda have been together, their first time was on Wanda's birthday (Chapter 2.)

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters-

Talia Josephine Wagner, the daughter of Kurt Wagner and Wanda Maximoff of an alternate reality, is presently lazing in her room. Her roommate, Paige Guthrie is flipping through a random magazine while lying on her front on her bed.

'What do you guys do for fun?' TJ asks.

'Ah'm not really the person to ask.' Paige replies. 'Ah'm new here mahself.'

'Surely this place has got a movie theatre.' TJ says.

'But there's nothin' worth watchin' Paige replies.

TJ sighs and leans back on her bed looking up at the ceiling.

'We could always go check out the mall.' Paige says. 'You up for shopping TJ?'

'Not really.' TJ sighs. 'But I suppose that it's better than nothing.'

'Great!' Paige says, jumping up off the bed. 'Ah'll just get mah purse an I'll be with yah in a sec!'

'Shouldn't we ask Kitty or Jubilee to come with us?' TJ asks.

'Do yah really want those two shoppin' addicts comin' with us?' Paige replies with an incredulous expression.

'Point.' TJ concedes. 'Even in my reality Kitty's a shopoholic.'

Later-

After getting dropped off at the mall by Scott Paige and TJ (disguised with a spare holo-watch) are browsing through the mall.

'I'm starting to like this idea.' TJ says. 'Being a part of a team that keeps on getting thrown from one reality to another doesn't really give you much time to shop.'

'Surely yah get time off.' Paige says.

'Not as much as we'd like.' TJ replies. 'This one time though, we got transported to Cancun to foil a bank robbery. After we did that we found out that we had a week of downtime!'

'Yah must've loved that.' Paige says.

'Oh yeah.' TJ replies. 'Heck, we even decided to visit a nude beach.'

'No!' Paige gasped. 'Yah never went...?'

'Au naturel?' TJ finishes. 'Yup, we certainly did!'

Paige blushes deeply at the mere thought of taking off her clothes off in front of other people. TJ just chuckles slightly at the younger girl's discomfort.

'Don't worry kiddo.' She says. 'I doubt that there are any nude beaches around here!'

'Where do yah want to go first?' Paige asks, changing the subject. 'Shoes or food?'

Shoe first.' TJ replies. 'Nourishment later.'

'That's mah kinda thinkin'.' Paige grins.

Later-

TJ and Paige have finished their shopping trip and decide to kill the time until Scott picks them up by taking a walk.

'So TJ.' Paige says. 'Do you have a guy back home?'

'Do you mean in the Exiles or in my home reality?' TJ asks.

'Either ah suppose.' Paige replies.

TJ momentarily thinks about John Proudstar, who the Exiles left behind in a reality ruled by the Skrulls. Her face deepens with sadness as she remembers the sorry of losing him. Subconsciously her hand travels to her belly as she remembers her lost baby.

'I-I did.' TJ replies. 'His name was John, I loved him.'

'What happened to him?' Paige asks. 'Is he still with the Exiles?'

Tears begin to well up in TJ's eyes.

'N-no.' She replies. 'We had to leave him behind in a coma.'

'Ah'm so sorry.' Paige says, taking TJ's hand to comfort her. 'Ah didn't mean tah pry.'

TJ is about to reply when she hears sounds of a scuffle in a nearby alley.

'Sounds like trouble.' She says as she goes to investigate. Paige follows her lead.

Upon entering the alley they see a large man moving in on a young girl with long brown hair. The guy takes out a knife and tries to stab the girl. Before TJ and Paige can help however, the young girl grabs the guy's hand and spins him around, pushing him against the wall.

'You're gonna pay for that girlie!' The guy snarls as he tries to stab her again.

There is a sudden 'Snikt!' and two metallic claws pop out of the girl's hands, the guy then finds himself minus one hand. The guy falls to the ground clutching his stump of a hand. The girl then turns and looks at TJ and Paige.

'Go away.' She says. 'This isn't any of your business.'

'Oh yes it is.' TJ replies. 'You can't just go around cutting off guys hands, even if they are ugly thugs.'

'You don't know what this is about.' The girl says. 'He's one of Hydra's goons!'

TJ nods in recognition, even she's heard of the Neo-Nazi terrorists known as Hydra.

'Ah think he's had enough.' Paige says. 'Don't you?'

'I won't rest until Hydra's dead.' The young girl snarls. 'Down to every last grunt and goon.'

Then something finally clicks in TJ's head as she recognises the look of the girl's claws.

'You're X-23.' She says.

'Yeah.' X-23 replies. 'What of it?'

'Everybody thought that you were dead.' TJ says.

'Who exactly are yah, X-23?' Paige asks, being the only one not in on the subject.

'X-23's a clone of Logan made by Hydra.' TJ replies. 'Sam told me all about her, including how she took on all of the X-Men on her own.'

'So are we gonna flap or gums or get down to business?' X-23 asks impatiently.

'We don't want to fight you.' TJ replies. 'You can come back to the mansion with us. I'm sure that you'll be safe from Hydra there.'

'Nobody'll want me.' X-23 replies. 'Not after what I did to them last time.'

'Ah can think of one person that'll be glad to see yah.' Paige says. 'What about Logan?'

X-23 has mixed thought about returning to the mansion. The two girls standing before her sound trustworthy enough so why can't she trust them?

'I-I suppose that I'll come with you.' X-23 replies uncertainly. 'But you both owe me a fight!'

'We'll get Logan to book us a session in the Danger Room.' TJ replies.

X-23 follows the two girls out of the alley to a waiting Scott. Scott takes one look at X-23 sitting in the back seat and jumps out of his seat with a girlish shriek.

'Umm, hi?' X-23 sheepishly grins.

'Don't worry Scott.' TJ says. 'She's with us.'

Scott leans in closer and whispers to TJ.

'You do know that she's dangerous, right?'

'I can hear you, you know.' X-23 says from the back seat. Scott just sighs and sits back down in the driver's seat and drives back to the mansion.

Upon reaching home, TJ and co take X-23 to meet the professor. Ignoring the fact that she easily beat the entire team during her last visit to the mansion, Xavier happily welcomes X-23 to the mansion.

Later-

TJ and Paige are showing X-23 around the mansion. They get to the rec room where Kurt and Wanda are watching TV.

'Guys.' TJ, now with her image inducer turned off, says. 'This is X-23.'

Kurt and Wanda stand up from the sofa and greet the new arrival. Kurt is understandably nervous at having X-23 staying at the mansion with them. Wanda however, greets her warmly as she also beat the X-Men solo in her first meeting with them.

'Umm, sorry about the whole beating you up thing.' X-23 says embarrassedly. 'It wasn't personal.'

'Zat's alright.' Kurt replies. 'It's perfectly understandable, you vere angry at ze time.'

'I'm just glad that there's someone here that I can compare notes with.' Wanda says. 'I thought that I was the only one that beat the X-Men solo.'

'I'd like to hear that.' X-23 says, a small smile spreading on her lips.

'You wanna talk about it over ice cream?' Wanda asks.

'What's ice cream?' X-23 replies.

'You've missed out on a lot.' Wanda replies. 'But that's cool, I missed a lot when I was locked away in an asylum.

Kurt, TJ and Paige watch as Wanda leads X-23 to the kitchen.

'Mein Gott!' Kurt groans. 'Zey're multiplying!'

END...

NEXT: Xavier senses a suspiciously familiar mutant signature. Kurt, Wanda, TJ, Paige and X-23 go to investigate. It Magneto really back and who is this mysterious green-haired girl intent on walking in his footsteps? Find out next time in: 'Wanda and Fuzzy...'
