Disclaimer: I don't own X- Men evolution.


Kitchen

The girls had been asleep for twenty- four hours and were starving. Rogue grabbed a bag of chips and took a seat. Genie took two apples and was looking for the peanut butter. Cass some how sized four chocolate bars, a bottle of soda and a few Carmel's.

"Can ya eat all that?"

"Yep."

This is nothing, once she ate an entire pizza pie

Rogue just stared at Cass, who was on her second chocolate bar and halfway through the soda. Ororo walked in and was shocked to she them out of the Med Bay.

"Cass, you're awake."

Cass swallowed and then answered.

"Yes I am, and I'm hungry so if you'll excuse me I am going to eat my candy in some quite place."

She got up and left the room. Ororo picked up a cookie and sat next to Genie.

"Lizzie is outside plying with some of the students. How do you guys feel?"

"Ah don't know, sad, sorry, depressed."

The most of that is Cass

"Why"

Cass always thought it was her fault, that's why I had to lock away the memory

Storm had no clue what they were talking about. This frustrated her a bit.

"What happened?"

You'll find out tomorrow, she'll probity tell the professor by then


Outside

Lizzie watched as Kurt teleported from one side of the yard to the other bringing her flowers.

"Zo Lizzie vhat do ve do vhen Kitty comes outzide?"

"From Kurt."

Lizzie said shoving the now huge bouquet of flowers in front of her.

"Gute."

Cass walked out side, still eating her candy.

"Hay you're avake."

"Why does everyone keep saying that?"

"Ve are very happy to see you up."

"Whatever, so this is what you've been doing all day."

"Nein, just since Seven- Thirty."

"How about I go get Kitty and then I'll trade you for Lizzie."

"Very funny. But could you get Kitty for me?"

"Sure."

"Many thanks."


Kitty and Rogue's Room

Rogue went up to her room shortly after Cass left. She was now reading a book while Kitty tried to not hug her newly awoken friend. Cass walked in and was immediately welcomed by the energetic brunette.

"Cass it's good to see you."

"You too. Rogue how can you wake up from a coma and then just read a book?"

"How can ya eat all that candy and not be on a sugar rush?"

"Like Cass can I talk to you?"

Kitty guided Cass into the hallway.

"Rogue's been a little well, off since she woke up. Do you know what happened?"

"Yeah."

"So what happened?"

"She lived it, and is know feeling it."

"What?"

"Forget it, lets go outside and get some air."

"Um ok."

They walked down the stairs, through the kitchen, and out the back door. Lizzie was sitting on the ground and at the sight of Kitty picked up the flowers and said.

"To you from Kurt."

Kitty heard a BAMf and turned around, there was Kurt.

"Vould you like to go out on a date vith me?"

"Of course."

Kitty answered. She took the flowers from Lizzie and grabbed Kurt by the arm.

"How about tomorrow, ve vill go see a movie and then go out for dinner."

"That sounds perfect Kurt."

They walked inside and to the reck room. Cass picked up Lizzie.

"So I guess it's just you and me tonight."

"Ba Boom."

"Shhhh. Nobody knows that here."


Jean and Cass's room

They walked in and up to their room. Jean was already there and sitting on the edge of Cass's bed.

"Hi Jean, What's up."

"I guess I'm just tired."

"Try going into a coma, it's very relaxing."

Cass put Lizzie in her bed and gave her a violet teddy bear.

"Jean I was wondering if we could talk."

"Sure what about."

"The coma thing. Tomorrow we talk to the professor and he will find out for him self what is going on. Rogue knows a little bit and is just letting it sink in."

"How about I come with you tomorrow, I might be able to help."

"I'd appreciate it."

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

It was Rogue and Kitty.

"I want to know what happened."

"No ya don't."

"She's right Kitty it was a very traumatic experience."

"Plus by tomorrow the whole mansion will know."

"Yeah we're talking to the professor and he'll make us spill our guts."

"Or you could just like talk about it now and get it over with."

"Not if Lizzie's in here."

"Fine we'll go to our room."

"Ok just let me do one thing."

Cass got up and went over to Lizzie's bed. She pulled up the green blanket and kissed the baby in her forehead.

"Let's go."

The four girls walked down the hall, they didn't want to wake anyone up.

"Cass you're like really good with Lizzie."

"Thanks."

"How do you do it, the rest of us had to use our powers to stop her from crying."

"Practice."

Kitty phased through the door, which forced Rogue to open it. They sat down on the beds and started talking.

"Cass who's you're favorite teacher here?"

"Don't know. Storm has been trying to make my move here more comfortable."

"You're staying?"

"Once my sister and Warren get married I'm going to be a full fledged X-Man."

"That will be so cool, we can do this every like night."

"Yeah as if we could pull that off."

"Speaking of the wedding who's going to be your date?"

"I don't know."

Kitty showed a huge grin on her face.

"Uh oh, I don't know that smirk and I don't want to."

"That's ha mach maker face, she used it on meh and Gambit."

"I'm going to like find you the perfect guy."

She got up and started looking through the enormous pile of teen magazines under her bed.

"I know it's around here somewhere."

"What?"

"This."

Kitty was now holding up this month's teen zine. In big red letters it read Find the perfect guy and live happily ever after.

"We ask you questions and you tell us the truth. Then we pick out the perfect guy."

"You are crazy you know that."

"Please."

"How about we do it too."

"Ok, but it's too late to start know."

"There's no school tomorrow, after you two talk to the professor lets go some where and figure this out."

"That works for me."

A sudden cry rang through the mansion.

"Oh man. Kitty phase me."

Cass grabbed Kitty's arm and dragged her through the walls of other people's rooms. When they finally reached the source of the noise they saw Lizzie sitting up on the bed whaling. Cass ran over to the toddler and picked her up.

"It's ok, it's ok. I'm here."

Cass began to sway back and fourth, which seemed calm to Lizzie. Jean came running into the room with Rogue right behind her. They took a seat and watched as Lizzie fell asleep in the fifteen year olds arms. Jean felt someone coming and told Kitty to phase herself and Rogue out. The telepath hopped back into bed and pretended to just be waking up, as Storm entered the room. The older women watched as Cass paced the room, gently speaking to the baby in her arms.

"I think she is asleep Cass."

"I know."

"Shouldn't you put her down now?"

"I can't."

Jean just sat I her bed and watched the scene in front of her take place.

"Why."

"Because then I will have nothing to keep me awake."

Cass turned around and the moonlight exposed tears rolling down her face. Kitty and Rogue who had been standing just behind Ororo walked in to comfort their new friend. Footsteps could be heard through the institute as Genie and Angel appeared at the door.

Sis let me help

"Yes let her help."

"Why didn't you come sooner?"

You seemed to be handling it

"Well I'm not."

"Tomorrow you three talk to the professor and then there will be no more nightmares, flashbacks, or anything else."

Just tonight

"Ok one more night can't hurt."

What are you talking about

You'll find out tomorrow

"Listen Ah don't know bout ya all but Ah'm tired and Ah'm getten ta bed."

"See ya in the morning Rogue."

With that everyone who had been watching the spectacle went back to their room. Cass genially put Lizzie back in her little bed and then got in to bed herself. It took awhile for Cass to get to bed but finally her eyes closed and she was in dreamland. There were no more disruptions that night, everyone slept.


Next Morning in the Kitchen

Kurt walked in to the kitchen and caught a glimpse at many many plates of pancakes, waffles, sausages, and bacon.

"Vow, Cass did you do this?"

"Yep."

"Vell then vhat do you recommend?"

"Everything."

"Ok then everything it is."

Kurt sampled all the breakfast delights and filled his plate up with them. Kitty and Rogue walked in as Kurt was on his second pancake.

"What the…."

"It's like a dream come true."

"Hallo ladies, pancake?"

"Who did this?"

"Cass."

Kitty picked up a plate and started to drown the pancakes in syrup. Slowly the rest of the X-Men entered the kitchen and stood amazed ate the mountain of goodies in front of them. Ororo finished her meal and started looking for the mansions little chef.

"Kurt have you seen Cass?"

"Nein, not since this morning. Try asking Genie."

"Thanks."

Storm walked up to Warren and Genies room. She knocked on the door and Warren popped his head out.

"Oh hey Storm. What's up?"

"I was just wondering if you knew where Cass was, she cooked a beautiful and delicious breakfast and I wanted to thank her."

"Cass cooked?'

"Yes and it was wonderful."

"We are talking about the same Cassandra right, brown hair with three stripes, color changing eyes."

"Unless you know another girl that fits that description then yes we're talking about the same Cass."

"Ok, when Genie comes back then I'll ask her."

"Genies gone too."

"Yeah, she took Lizzie out for a walk."

"Do you know where they went?"

"Not that far, they've got that meeting with the professor in about five minutes."

"The meeting of course, I got to go Warren thanks."

"Hey wait, I have to be there to you know."

"Then hurry up."

"I'm coming I'm coming."

Ororo was half way down the hall when Warren finally out of his room. He allowed his wings to do the work as he tried to catch up to the weather witch. The two caught their breath and entered the professor office. The room was jam packed, the only people who weren't there was the new recruits. The professor was behind his desk and the instructors behind him. Rogue, Genie, Cass, and Warren were sitting in front of the desk trying not to look into any of the adult's eyes. The students who did come (Scott, Jean, Kitty, Kurt.) had scattered out across the room, waiting for an explanation of what had happened in the Danger Room. Lizzie was in the corner playing with some blocks. The professor was the first to speak.

"Genie you are going to have to let down your mental shields on everyone if you want this conversation to go anywhere."

Ok fine

"Thank you."

"Chuck they're not going to talk, how about laps in the Danger Room?"

"NO"

Everyone answered in unison.

"Told ya that would get'em ta talk."

Cass couldn't take it any more, she was ready to talk.

"It's all my fault."

Storms face went from stern and strict to sorry and understanding. Rogue looked up from the patch of carpet she had been looking at and averted her stare to the brave fifteen-year-old girl next to her. Rogue didn't want her friend to relive the pain again and took over.

"Cass and Genie have an olda sista, ha name was Erin. Ha husbands name was Thomas and they are Lizzie's parents. They were mutants and…. "

Cass had conveniently left out a part of her memory and now had to admit it.

"Tom could move any sort of energy, Erin could become invisible Lizzie also had her powers, teleportation. We went shopping and I had received my powers but I couldn't control them. I blew some stuff up and the manager came out. He was a member of Friends Of Humanity he called a few of his buddies over and they chased us."

Cass grew silent and Rogue continued the story.

"They got chased into a parken garage. Tom sent Genie to get the car because she could get inta the guy's heads and make them think things. He did something…."

Rogue turned to Cass hoping for a more descriptive explanation.

"He took Erin and Lizzie's powers of them and put them into me. That stunt put me on bed rest for a month. The F.O.H guys came back and with friends. Tom stayed behind to stop them from following us. Erin couldn't leave him. They were both killed that day, because I couldn't control my powers."

Cass was silent, Genie finished telling the story to everybody telepathically.

Cass couldn't stop thinking about it. She'd have nightmares and flashbacks, she just kept beating herself up about it. I couldn't stand seeing her like that. I went into her head and put up a shield, the memory was locked in the back of her head. But she wanted to tell. That's why she was in the Danger Room, and why she fainted

"Wait, why did ya involve meh in all this?"

I needed someone to remind me why I went into her head in the first place. Without you I would have gotten depressed just like Cass

"Oh."

"So that's about it. We moved into their old apartment and met Warren."

No one spoke. Most of them still grasping what had been said to them. Xavier was the first to talk again.

"I expect what was said in this room to stay in this room."

Everyone turned his or her eyes to Kitty.

"I won't tell anyone."

Beast then asked the question that was lingering in most people's minds.

"What happened to the F.O.H guys?"

"They got off easy, they said that Tom came after them and once he was on the floor Erin got furious and hit them. They said it was self defense."

"Didn't it matter that they were both mutants?"

"Erin's powers were in me, they called her a mutant loving human."

The room was silent once again. The professor turned his chair around and stared out the window.

"You are dismissed."

Everyone got up and headed for the door. Cass picked up Lizzie and carried her to their room. She placed the toddler on her bed and started rummaging through her suitcase. She took out a blue embodied pillow and grabbed Lizzie's blanket and teddy bear. Cass also took out a small box and placed the items in front of her niece.

"Me and your mom were working on these gifts for you, the colors representing our eyes when we used our powers."

She gave the blanket, teddy bear, and pillow to Lizzie. Cass then took a box just like the one from her suitcase out of her pocket.

"Warren gave Genie one too, she won't tell me what it is. This one is yours, this one mine lets open them."

Cass opened her and Lizzie's boxes. Within them were two beautiful golden lockets.

"Wow."

"Pretty."

"That's right very pretty."

Cass then noticed that the lockets opened. She undid her and was taken over by emotions. Inside were two photographs, one of Genie and Warren, the other a picture of Erin Thomas and Lizzie together.

"Oh my god."

"Mommy."

Cass turned to see that Lizzie hadopened her locket and was mesmerized by the pictures, one of her parents and one of Genie, Warren, and Cass.

"I'm sorry Lizzie it's my fault, if I'd just kept my temper in check the you'd be at home with your parents."

"Me don't want to be home, me wants to be with Ba Boom and No speak and Wingy."

"Thank you. Do you want me to put the pretty necklace on you?"

"Yes yes."

Cass hooked the back of the necklace around Lizzie's neck. And then did the same for her self.

"You look very pretty Lizzie."

"You too."
