Remembering

On the elevator ride up Alicia stole very brief glances from John. He seemed a few steps away from going into complete shock. The teen, however, held her tongue. She thought trying to ask the pyromaniac about it would just upset him more.

"Here we are. Now you just go five doors down to your right. There is a nameplate on the door. I have to get back to work. If you need help getting back, someone up here will help. Have a nice day."

"Thanks." Alicia responded politely. John just looked longingly down the hall.

"Well, let's go visitin'" Alicia said cheerfully as she took John's arm and led the way. In a few seconds the two stood outside a stark white door with a gold plate that proclaimed 'ALLERDYCE'. John slowly reached for the doorknob.

Alicia beat him to it by knocking.

"Come in." a woman's voice called back. Alicia cheerfully complied.

"Hello. I'm Alicia. John's friend. Sorry, I don't know your names." Alicia said, breaking the ice.

"I'm Marlene. This is my daughter, Rebecca, my son Mark, and my husband William. Now who is this John I don't believe we know any Johns." said the older woman with confused hazel eyes.

"John, do you have any idea what's going on?" Alicia asked the young man behind her.

"They have amnesia. They're my mom, dad, and baby siblings. It's all my fault. I started that fire when I first got my powers by accident." John said sadly.

"Is that all? I'm sure the professor could help them the same way he helped me." Alicia said with a huge smile.

" That's a great idea, but how do we get them out?"

"We can ask him to come here. I'll go call. He could be here in minutes, then your family will be back in order." with that, Alicia went out to the hall to use her cell phone. Pyro waited anxiously.

"He said he'll come." Alicia announced when she stepped back into the room.

"How about you go see if your grandmother is awake. I can wait here." Pyro said.

"Alright. I'll be back later. Nice meeting you. Bye!" Alicia said and she left the room.

John turned back to his family nervously. He hadn't seen his family since the fire six years earlier. When the fire started everyone was asleep, John was up late finishing up a book report for the next day. He had decided to make a midnight snack of leftover pizza that was in the refrigerator; he was using the microwave to warm it up when John was wishing it would hurry up because his stomach was growling like crazy, when all the sudden the machine burst into flames and quickly spread through the entire kitchen. He had gotten his family up and raced out the front door

A few moments later he saw no one come out, he was so scared he was frozen in place until a firefighter pried him away and into an ambulance to be checked. A month later Magneto came to him with the offer of joining his team He had believed the four had gotten trapped and… well he didn't like imagining what happened.

John decided to speak first. " um. So do you guys know exactly what happened to give you amnesia?"

"From what we've been told we were almost out of our burning house when some of the charred wood came down on us, it must have quite a blow to do that to all of us. We lived in a hospital in Australia where we lived. Two years ago the hospital sent us here in hopes that this hospital might have a treatment to help. I'm just now getting some of my childhood memories back." Marlene said. "How do you know us?" she asked.

"This is hard to say, please don't freak out. I know you because I'm your oldest son. John." He finished with a look at his mother to see her reaction.

"It's nice we have a child that can remember himself and his family." Will said. At that moment the door opened to reveal Professor Xavier.

"Prof. Can you help them?" John practically jumped the old man before he could get in the room.

"I must have a look to see what kind of damage there is. Just give me a little time."

Xavier used his power to examine the four and saw it was reversible. He immediately put things right. The family seemed disoriented for a minute, saw each other, and started to do a group hug when Marlene noticed her oldest son. "J.John? Is that you my baby?" John just nodded and finally the family got a long, overdue reunion.
