Shout Outs-

KsimonT-X- Glad you liked this, Wandurt is one of my favourite pairings. Yup, I think TJ's a hottie too.

TheLegendaryManHimself- There must be some reason why Destiny loves Mystique and personally I think Evo Mystique loves her kids, she just messes it up trying to show it.

Ruby631- OC trouble, huh? Why not fend them of with a pointy stick? It usually works for me.

Slickboy444- As I said before, I think that Evo Mystique loves her kids, she just messes it up trying to show it though. This is one of the best Wandurt fics out there? Wow, thanks man!

Agent-G- Yup, I've got a big thing coming with Mags popping up. You'll have to wait and see what it's about though.

Xavier's-

It had been a week or so since Mystique had moved in with the X-Men. The shapeshifter had proved to be pretty trustworthy, much to everybody's surprise. Mystique had even helped out in training the New Recruits. Logan still kept a close eye on her however.

Mystique was presently sitting on a chair in the garden while Logan ran some of the kids through their paces. Unseen by the shapeshifter, TJ walked outside with two mugs of hot chocolate.

'Umm Hey…' She said. 'I brought you some hot chocolate. It's got marshmallows in.'

Mystique took the mug from the younger woman and let the heat warm her hands.

'Thanks.' She said as she took a sip. 'Logan certainly knows how to make the kids work up a sweat.'

'Yah, that's Unkie Logan for you.' TJ replied as she took a sip of her chocolate.

Mystique looked at the fellow blue-skinned woman and cocked a curious brow.

'Unkie Logan?' She asked, visibly amused.

'Long story.' TJ shrugged. 'I'm form an alternate reality.'

'Alternate reality, right…' Mystique said, not believing a word. 'Did we fall into an episode of Star Trek all of a sudden?'

'No, I'm serious.' TJ replied. 'I used to be part of a team called the Exiles, we were all from different realities.'

'You move to San Francisco for a while and everything turns upside-down.' Mystique sighed. 'Next you'll tell me that your parents were Kurt and Wanda.'

TJ just looked back at Mystique with a knowing expression.

'Okay, let me get my head around this.' The shapeshifter said as she rubbed the bridge of her nose. 'You're form an alternate reality and your parents are Nightcrawler and the Scarlet Witch?'

'Pretty much, yeah.' TJ shrugged.

'I think I'm getting a headache.' Mystique groaned.

Later-

Mystique was in the kitchen doing a little washing up to help Ororo out. Her mind was awhirl with thoughts. He best friend and lover had a vision of her son's girlfriend having a baby and then it turns out that as well as Wanda being pregnant, the baby was already there but in the form of an alternate reality duplicate. Mystique was no quantum physicist but she knew that something like this must mess the space-time continuum up something rotten. Mystique then shook the thought out of her head; maybe she had been watching too much sci-fi on the TV.

Mystique finished the washing up and placed it on the side to drain. Then she saw Wanda walk in. It might have been her eyesight but she could swear that Wanda was showing signs of a bump already.

'Mystique.' Wanda sniffed as she went to grab a soda from the fridge.

'Wanda.' Mystique replied. 'How are you? The baby started to kick yet?'

Wanda fixed the blue-skinned woman with a glare.

'It's only been a month so far.' She replied. 'I hardly think the baby is strong enough to kick yet. Anyway, why do you even care? It's not like you've ever shown Kurt any concern before.'

'Wanda, you're right to be angry.' Mystique said solemnly. 'I'll never win mother of the year but please let me help, I want to make up for all the terrible things that I've done.'

'It'll take more than helping a baby come to term to absolve your sins, Mystique.' Wanda replied, miraculously keeping her temper. 'And I'll appreciate it if you stay away form my baby.'

With that, Wanda turned on her heel and left the room. Mystique sighed sadly; it was going to take a lot to make this better.

Outside the kitchen, TJ saw Wanda stomping away and popped her head into the room. She saw Mystique leaning on the table looking rather upset.

'Umm hey, you alright?' She asked concernedly.

Mystique looked up and tried to make it look like she hadn't been crying.

'I-I'm fine, no need to be worried. Just go about your business.'

TJ walked into the kitchen and took a seat beside Mystique.

'It's Wanda, isn't it?' TJ asked.

Mystique nodded sadly.

'I don't even know why I bothered to come here.' She said. 'Nobody even trusts me here. I might as well go back to San Francisco and my only true friend.'

TJ put her hand on top of Mystique's and squeezed it in comfort.

'I won't lie to you, but it'll take a hell of a lot to make all this better.' TJ said honestly. 'And besides, I trust you.'

Mystique looked her future granddaughter in the eye.

'You're just saying that to trust me.' She said. 'If your version of me is anything like I am, she'll be an untrustworthy bitch.'

'You might be right there.' TJ nodded. 'But, at least you're showing concern for your unborn granddaughter, the others should realize that. You don't see Magneto anywhere do you? He never showed any concern about me or my parents back in my reality either.'

'Some things never change I guess.' Mystique said, her lips making a narrow smile. 'I just hpe that I'll make a good grandmother.'

'You will, trust me.' TJ replied. 'My Mystique may not have been there for me much but she was a loving grandmother. I'm not so big on the mutant terrorist bit but I love her non the less.'

'If only everybody else was that forgiving.' Mystique sighed. 'That must be your father talking, right?'

'Yup, he was a trainee priest.' TJ replied. 'Although, he never was good at the celibacy thing.'

'You must be pretty secure, talking about your father's sex life like that.' Mystique chuckled.

'You'd think so, wouldn't you?' TJ sighed sadly.

Mystique noticed her granddaughter's change of mood and put her hand on her shoulder in concern.

'How so?' Mystique asked.

TJ bit her lip before continuing.

'Back in the Exiles I fell in love with a fellow teammate. I was carrying our first child when he… died. I was heartbroken when he died a-and I… lost the baby.'

TJ's voice was choked with emotion and Mystique held her close.

'That's alright, you don't have to continue if you don't want to.'

TJ got up form the hug and wiped a tear form her eye.

'Look at me getting all teary, we're supposed to be talking about your problems.'

'At least I know that I'm not the only one with problems, huh?' Mystique asked with a slight smile.

'Yeah, we're real screw ups, aren't we?' TJ chuckled. 'What a pair.'

Mystique held her granddaughter in a hug once more and got up to leave.

'Thanks TJ, you've really given me something to think about.' She said. 'I'll tell you what, why don't we go shopping some time? Y'know, a grandmother treating her granddaughter?'

'I'd love that.' TJ replied happily. 'You don't mind if some friends come along too, do you?'

'They wouldn't happen to be Logan's clone and Cannonball's sister, would they?' Mystique asked.

'Why, would that be a problem?' TJ replied.

'I guess not.' Mystique shrugged. 'More excuses to spend my money I guess.'
