WOOT! I got so many wonderful reviews! Thank you!

Spirit of the Sky: Thank you for reviewing again, and I agree with you, it will be interesting. Hope you like this chapter!

Black's Phoenix That won't be too long down the road, I promise. Thanks!

Sci-Fi Sista: Thanks for reviewing! And yes, Vader is in his suit. Everything happened the same way in Revenge of the Sith, except for Elena being born, of course.

tejdog1: Thank you so much, I think Vader needed a little more encouragement to go to the Light Side. Leia will be appearing a little bit later on, and after her comes Luke. I haven't yet decided when or how I'm going to put Yoda in, but he's definitely going to be in here. Obi-Wan will be coming up shortly.

phylitr: Thank you for reviewing! About all the 'yes, sirs', Elena is only pretending to be an Imperial officer. She's not really being serious. And yes, more conflict will be coming up as she grows older.

By the way, Elena means: 'Light'. I thought that was kind of fitting, don't you think? Anyways, ONWARDS!

Disclaimer: See first chapter.

Chapter 6

Jenson and Elena finally came to the mall, where they spent the next hour or two picking out clothes, shoes, and other things for her. After they had gotten everything that she wanted, they headed to the doctor's office and went into the waiting room.

"Uh, we're here to see Doc Scanter," Jenson told the lady at the front desk.

The lady glanced at him, and then gave Elena a withering look. "Is this for her, or for you?" she asked haughtily.

Jenson took a quick glimpse at Elena, who appeared to be rather miffed. "It's for her," he replied. "The name's Elena V–"

"Skywalker," Elena interrupted, "Elena Skywalker." She gave Jenson a 'I don't like to be called Vader and no one should know who I am' look.

He nodded knowingly. "Oh, of course," he continued hurriedly, and turned back to the lady. "So, does she have an appointment or what?"

The lady typed furiously for a minute or two. "She'll be seeing the doctor in about fifteen minutes," she finally answered, glaring at Elena.

"Thank you," Jenson nodded, and sat down in a seat next to Elena.

Elena stared at the front desk lady. "What's her problem?" she questioned, scowling. "I didn't do anything and she looked at me as if I were covered in fleas or something."

Jenson glanced at her. "You're not, are you?" he asked suspiciously.

Elena glared at him.

"Just checking!" he said, holding up his hands in an innocent stance.

They sat there for the next few minutes, until suddenly Vader entered the room. The other people there gasped, and he ignored them and strode up to the front desk lady, who was quite taken aback. "Is there an Elena Skywalker here?" he asked, staring down at her.

The lady managed to point to the place where Jenson and Elena were sitting, reading magazines. Vader said nothing more and walked over to them. Elena glanced up when she heard his breathing. "Hey," she said, "You got here."

"Why are you waiting?" he questioned, putting his hands on his belt.

Jenson snorted. "Ask the annoying front desk lady up there," he muttered, more to himself.

Vader turned to him. "What was that, Private?"

Jenson reddened and straightened up, trying to think of something to say in answer to Vader's question.

Elena giggled and cut in, "He said, ask the annoying front desk lady up there," she explained.

Jenson looked at her, and she gave him an innocent smile.

Vader whisked around and headed right back to the lady and boomed, "I will see the doctor now, or you will regret it!"

The lady nodded fearfully. "Yes sir," she stuttered, "Uh, take Lord Vader to see Doctor Scanter," she told another nurse, who bowed shortly and said, "Follow me, milord."

Vader motioned for Elena and Jenson to follow him, which they did. The nurse led them to a room, where Elena sat down on the doctor's treatment table and folded her hands together, humming. Vader and Jenson stood, saying nothing.

Doctor Scanter entered almost immediately, and Elena studied him. He was an older man, gray hair, half bald, had a beard, and glasses. He nodded to Vader and went up to Elena. "So," he said, "This is Elena Skywalker." He looked at her. "And how are we today, Miss Skywalker?"

"Not bad," she shrugged.

He grinned in a friendly way. "Good to hear," he said, "now I want you to lie down and close your eyes, I'm going to take a scan of your body to make sure that everything's normal and the way it should be."

Elena nodded and did as he told her, and the scanning machine went over her entire body and stopped.

"OK, good job," the Doc complemented. "You can get down now, and I'll have the pics in a minute."

Vader and Jenson waited until the Doc had finished checking up on her, and very soon the pictures from the scan came up on a screen. The doctor stared at it for a moment, shocked. "That's odd," he remarked.

Vader came over to him. "What's odd?" he asked.

"Her bones aren't made out of regular tissue," the Doc continued. "It's some kind of metal, and it runs all the way into her fingers. How strange."

Elena looked up quickly. "My bones are made out of metal?" she repeated. "Just like Lady Deathstrike," she said to herself quietly.

"But what kind of metal, I don't know," the Doc went on, "I'll have to make some tests to see what, exactly, it is."

Elena stared at her hands, turning them over slowly. Suddenly she noticed that her fingernails were not regularly colored, but they were silvery. She tapped one of them with another fingernail, and it felt hard. "They're metal too," she whispered, in complete shock.

"Doc," she spoke up, "I know what kind of metal it is."

The doctor and Vader turned to her. "What is it?" Scanter questioned, confused.

Elena took a deep breath in. "It's called adamantium," she admitted. "It's an indestructible metal, but you can't find it anywhere."

Vader stared at her. "I do not recall you telling me anything about this," he said, "How did this enter your body?"

She shrugged helplessly. "I don't know," she replied. "I'm just as in the dark as you are."

Vader glanced at the doctor. "I think it is time we leave now," he said, "Elena, you will tell me more about this adamantium on the way home." And with that, he strode out of the room, the other two following him.

"Thanks doc!" Elena called out, waving.

This is nuts, she thought wildly, I can't possibly a mutant. They don't exist, they're NOT REAL . Thousands of thoughts ran inside of her head, refusing to leave. If I have the same powers as Lady Deathstrike, then I can have claws, too. Do I? She looked at her fingers, and slowly, a metal claw came out of her index finger. She quickly put it back in before anyone else saw her. I can't tell anyone else other than Dad about this, she thought grimly.

---

"Would you care to explain what was going on in there?" Vader snapped harshly, folding his arms over.

Elena looked down, upset. "I'm sorry, I've already told you, I don't know how this happened, it's only in a comic book, I've never heard of it happening in real life. I'm sorry." She hung her head, not wanting to look at her father, who was pacing back and forth furiously.

"Do you realize what the Emperor will do when he finds out that I have a daughter who has a body made out of indestructible metal, is Force sensitive, and has claws?" Vader boomed angrily.

Elena's head snapped up, and she bounded off her bed. "Well it's not my fault that this happened to me!" she retorted, tears running down her face. "You didn't have to take me in, you didn't have to tell me that you were my father! I might have been better off not knowing anything!"

"If you want to go back there and continue to be a slave, then the door is right there!" Vader shouted, motioned to the exit behind him.

Elena stared at him, wide-eyed, and ran out of the room. She raced into the hangar bay and crawled into the cockpit of a ship, sobbing. Could this day get any worse? she asked.

Vader strode out of the room, angry, but at the same time, feeling guilty. It had only been two days since he had known he had a daughter, and now she hated him.

A call from the Emperor's throne room brought him out of his thoughts. "Yes, my master?" he bowed.

"I have felt an unfamiliar Force presence, Lord Vader," the Emperor began, "I wonder if you have felt it, too."

Oh no, Vader thought, he knows about her. He nodded heavily. "I have, master."

The Emperor looked at him expectantly. "And do you know where this person is?" he questioned.

"Yes, my master. It is a young girl, a teenager. I know where she is located."

"Well then terminate her immediately!"

Here goes nothing... "Master, she is my daughter." Vader held his breath.

Uh-oh, CLIFF HANGAR! Well, I hope you liked that chapter, you'll see how the claws and metal bones come to play later on in the story. By the way, Leia and Luke will have the same exact powers as she does. But what exactly are those powers? hmm... REVIEW! REVIEW!
