X-MEN EVOLUTION: RISE OF ODESSA
By Deathsheadx
PART 4: Saying hello to Odessa
Asteroid M
Magneto walked along the corridor of his secret base "I am disappointed in you exodus."
"My lord?"
"What gave you the right to attack Xavier in his home?"
"My lord I thought…"
"There is a reason I have never attacked the institute a promise I made long ago to Xavier I promised to leave the institute alone off the grounds of the institute Xavier and his xmen are fair game but on the institute mutants were to be safe and you made it look like I broke that promise… exodus a mans word is his bond…"
"Forgive me my lord! I was foolish I sought to eliminate your doppelganger before Xavier could turn it into a weapon to use against you…"
"You are forgiven exodus your heart was in the right place… now go and oversee the training of the others…"
"As you command my lord"

Professor x sat with the young magneto double "so you remember everything?"
"Yes I remember everything but its all like a second hand memory its like its not mines the only thing I remember as if I experienced it my self is the holocaust…"
"How do you feel about it all…"
"It makes me sick to my stomach professor seeing what the adult me has done, what he has become he is no better than Hitler! And yet I understand him I see his point on so many things…but I feel he has gone too far… he needs to be stopped." Sighed the magneto double
Professor x nodded "I agree…now have you thought of a new name?"
The young magneto nodded "I've chosen the name Joseph it was the name of an uncle of mines… I have to make amends for what my evil self has done but I'm afraid that if I try to right the wrongs he has done as well as try to ensure mutant kind isn't slaughtered I will fall into the same traps he did."
"Ah yes the old adage the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The trick is to take a different path…"
Joseph nodded "thank you professor. What of Charles, Clarence and Mr creed what's happening with them?"
"Its not going to well I'm afraid rogue is avoiding Charles like the plague and Charles knows it.."
"I'll talk to her professor in a way Charles is my son I have wisps of another magnetos memories and he's in them…"
"Hmmmm," said Xavier thoughtfully "That actually correlates with what Olivia and Michael have told me."
"Olivia? Michael?"
"The new names for the younger of the two Ororo duplicates and the Nightcrawler duplicate…"
"What about the elder of the Ororos'"
"She…presents a problem she is to put it frankly very antisocial she not happy about the fact that she's a duplicate in fact she's scheduled to have a session with me in a minute… "

An A.I.M base.
Wolverine jumped from an upper balcony claws extended and slashed two aim guards he turned to see more guards racing towards him come and get it boys said Wolverine grinning he got into an attacking stance and waited for the guards to reach him suddenly the floor exploded and Colonel Nick Fury junior burst through. He was wearing a jet Pac and opened fire on the A.I.M agents
"Wolverine! Snake Eyes and Spirit needs help in section b!"
"On it junior!"
"Don't call me that old timer!"
"Okay kid!" Said Wolverine smirking as he made his way towards section b
Agent dayspring and the black widow blew up the main doors to the theta room and was greeted by the sight of 50 A.I.M guards with guns trained on them they opened fire and agent dayspring grinned he raised a palm and the beams bent back and struck the guards.
"Neat trick dayspring!"
"I aim to please Natasha now then lets get the teleportation disks attached to the accelerator… "
"I don't think so cable came a snarl"
Agent dayspring grimaced "M.O.D.O.K." He said turning slowly. a huge floating head floated towards him well actually it was a man with a huge head his other limbs were shrunken and useless he was also armed to the teeth
"You didn't think I'd forget did you cable your team six-pack destroyed all my precious work!"
"It would kill half the world's population you had to be stopped "
"Well then we have a score to settle!" M.O.D.O.K fired a massive telepathic attack
Agent dayspring dived in front of the black widow and took the attack head on… "arrrrrrghhhhh Natasha! Take the disks finish the mission! I've got this bitch!"
Black widow nodded and attached the disks to the accelerator and activated the teleporter, there was a flash and both she and the accelerator was gone
"Its just you and me M.O.D.O.K" said agent dayspring pulling out a device that extended into a staff with a glowing blade at one end "Lets do this!" roared agent dayspring
"YES! lets finish what started ten years ago!" Roared M.O.D.O.K
In section b snake eyes and spirit were severely outnumbered by heavy armed A.I.M agents when Wolverine arrived on the scene riding an A.I.M transport he jumped off and dived into the thick of things helping to elevate the pressure on the two G.I-Joe soldiers…"thanks for that" said spirit "we got into a spot of bother this is A.I.M's clone lab."
"No problem spirit. Silent master I'll clear a path, you have to download the mainframe and destroy the array, before they have enough time to make the connection to a remote satellite and transmit their research to another location!" Snake eyes nodded and Wolverine launched himself at the cloned guards before his attacks had been to incapacitate but this time his attacks were to kill and Wolverine was pretty good at killing snake eyes made it to the mainframe and downloaded the mainframe to the shield supplied hard drive. He signalled to Wolverine and spirit to get down as he then blew up the array…
"Okay lets make tracks we have one part of what we came for! Now we need to get the rest!" said spirit
"This is fury! Hawkeye and I are fighting the A.I.M captain America clone! She's too much for us! "
Wolverine looked at snake eyes who nodded and passed the hard drive to spirit "get to the ship the primary mission is completed if we don't make it out return to HQ without us!" And with that Wolverine and snake eyes rushed towards Nick Fury Jr's location…
Nicolas Fury the second, known as Nick Fury Jr went flying into a wall the A.I.M prototype super trooper a clone of Captain America had stopped them form removing the cloned embryos that A.I.M had growing in the lab Hawkeye was trying every trick in the book to put her down but she was just too good. suddenly Wolverine and Snake Eyes rushed in snake eyes drew his katana's and Wolverine unsheathed his claws "okay darling lets do this!" snarled Wolverine. But before they could attack a spear burst through her chest and she collapsed to the ground unconscious as agent dayspring walked out of the smoke holding his psimitar his robotic arm was all twisted and warped
"Wow… that was kinda…anticlimactic." muttered Hawkeye
"What happened to M.O.D.O.K?" Asked fury Jr
"I rendered him a vegetable I would have killed him but I sensed you and Hawkeye in trouble and made my way here to help… so what happens now?" said agent dayspring lifting up the clone of Captain America
"The reactor goes critical in 11 minutes the resulting explosion will eradicate this place…" said Fury Jr
"Then lets get the hell out of here Hawkeye snap the disks on the birthing matrix and lets go!" Snapped Wolverine
"No can do just yet Logan! We've gotta attach the birthing matrix to an alternate power source prior to teleporting or the embryo's in that chamber are dead!" said Hawkeye… "there! Its connected lets move!" There was a flash of light and they were gone…

"Come in." said Xavier as the teen Ororo walked in and sat down grumpily "are you okay?"
"I'm fine." she replied "why am I here?"
"Well you've been out of sorts since your awakening you refuse to choose a new name…"
"Is that what this is? I don't fit in so you're taking me to task?"
"No it's not like that I just want to know what's bothering you."
"I'll tell you what's bothering me! I have no future!" snapped the teen Ororo
"What do you mean?"
"I mean I won't grow up to become storm of the xmen I'm a mistake a copy of the original and that's all I'll be known as!"
"You can be your own person!"
"Maybe…did you know I remember 4 different lives none of them are me…"
"What do you mean?"
"I remember the world Mr creed and Clarence came form I also remember a world where the xmen work with shield… I remember a world where mutants were put in camps just as magneto feared the were being wiped out… I remember them and then I realise with out those memories I would be a blank slate a vegetable and that upsets me. Do you know what its like to walk around and feel that every waking moment is a lie that everything you know every memory you have belongs to someone else?"
"You're looking at this the wrong way the past is the past its what you do in the future will define who you are and as for the memories not being yours, feeling like a fraud you should talk to rogue she goes through this every time she absorbs somebody…"
"Maybe I should…"
"Now about that name…" said Xavier.
"Oh all right…fine!" groaned the teen Ororo… "If you must know I've picked the name Odessa"
"It's a pretty name Odessa…"
Odessa nodded and walked out of the professors study

Rogue was sitting by the swimming pool when a shadow was cast over her she turned round "Oh its you magneto." she said softly
"The names Joseph not magneto."
"Joseph? That's your new name?"
"Yep I renamed myself after my dead uncle…"
"Ohhhh." rogue looked away "what do you want Joseph?"
"I want to know why."
"Why what?"
"Why you are avoiding Charles?"
"That's none of your business!"
"Maybe, maybe not but it doesn't change the fact your avoiding him."
"And what if ah am?"
"Can't you see what you doing to him? You're his mother!"
"He's not mah son!" Screamed rogue throwing a punch at Joseph, which he blocked with a force field…
"Yes he is and you know it. He's the child of an alternate a version of you, that loved him greatly. Yes you didn't give birth to him, but you're the closest thing to a mother he has now… his world is dead the last thing he remembers is being in his mother and fathers arms as the world ended it doesn't matter to him that your from a different reality to him… all that matters is he has his mother back and your denying him that."
"I don't want to I…I…" Rogues face twisted into an expression of absolute despair "Don't you see! every time ah see him, every time ah hear his giggle, ah just wanna take him in my arms and hold him close! But I'm afraid of having him taken away from me again!"
"Again?" said joseph in confusion "My god." He said with sudden realisation "You have her memories don't you. You have his mother's memories!"
"Yes ah have them! At first they were just wisps but the more time I spend near Charles the stronger they become I don't want to lose who I am Joseph! I see him and I remember how it felt to feel him kick inside me…I'm not even 18 and I remember giving birth and nurturing a child!"
"Don't you see? Rogue, running is tearing you both apart." Said Joseph "you have to see the professor, maybe he can reconcile the two halves."
"Ah don't know what if Ah come out of it a different person?"
"It's a risk Rogue. You will most likely be changed by the experience but its all part of growing up.truthfully its up to you. You can run from it and let it tear two people apart, or you can attempt to guide the change… "
"Okay I'll do it." Said rogue looking towards the mansion… she walked inside resolutely and knocked on the professor's door.
A few hours later…
Mr creed, Clarence and Charles were in the kitchen eating banana and raspberry pancakes whipped up by The Beast when the door opened and Rogue entered Mr creed looked at her warily… "What do you want?" He snapped
"Ah wish to speak to Charles." Said Rogue
Mr creed looked at rogue thoughtfully then shrugged "Okay go ahead."
Rogue nodded "hello Charles." she said softly
"Hello mommy!"
"Charles how much do you understand about how you got here?"
"I know this is a better place than where the bad man ruled…" said Charles
"Do you understand that in a way ah'm not your mommy? Ah'm this better places version of your mommy?"
"I know… Clarence explained it to me… you're like Jamie!"
"Like Jamie?"
"Yeah! He can...he can double himself!"
"Yes ah'm like that only ah'm slightly different. Ah'm sorry for avoiding you Charles ah had to figure something's out but thanks to the professor, the nice man who has your name, its sorted and ah know ah haven't been behaving like a mommy should and ah'd just like to know if you'll give me another chance to be your mommy…"
Charles ran and jumped into rogue's arms…"of course mommy!"
