I own nothing…
So I felt bad about only giving you one SHORT chapter. So I decided to give you a second SHORT chapter to make up for it. I don't honestly promise to post this weekly… I'll give you posts whenever I get some pages typed up. The more reviews the guiltier I feel about not posting new chapters the quicker I post. So it's entirely up to you.
Chapter 2: Angels
"I honestly can't find anything physically wrong with her. And the brain scans have yet to yield any helpful information. I can't even tell what her mutation is." Jean explained to Xavier and the other X-men that had gathered around the new woman.
Jack stood behind the professor, careful not to catch anyone's attention. But he was not so lucky because Hank McCoy's eyes shifted from his sister to himself at the same moment Xavier said, "She looks just like your mother, but I can't help but wonder…"
"It's why she left. She couldn't bare to face the both of you. She went to live with her sisters in Ireland. They don't have as much a 'dislike' for mutants." Jack explained before Xavier could continue with his thought.
Yet it proved in vain. "Who was her father?" Xavier's gaze didn't venture far from the woman, who lay perfectly still in the bed. She looked so much like an angel.
Jack was silent for a moment. "Erik." It was barely audible. He almost couldn't bring himself to say it. Xavier's head tipped forward slightly.
"Professor?" Storm asked shyly. No one present was old enough to know the story behind these twins.
"She inherited mum's mutation slightly. That's why she always wore gloves."
Xavier moved his chair around so he could place his hands on her temple. Slowly he made his way into her mind. It was not the easiest task to do. She had been taught by one of the best empaths to ever walk the earth. He had to make his way through barrier after barrier without totally destroying them or any part of her existing mind. It felt like hours before he came face to face (relatively speaking) with her inner self; the part of her that she had locked away for safety.
"Angel." He projected his worry for the woman.
"Hi professor." She smiled slightly. "Sorry about the worry. I must have freaked everyone out, huh?" Her voice was sweet and melodic.
"You could say that."
"I didn't see any other way. I couldn't attract Erik's attention. I had to get to you first." She could feel his slight disappointment. "So he told you." It was almost a whisper. "I couldn't do it myself, I'm so sorry."
"We'll talk about this later." He paused a moment. "Care to explain all of this?"
"In a bit. First I need you to have someone take a few samples of blood, As much as you can possibly get. Then you'll find two syringes in my sac. The needles are clean. Inject one of them strait into my blood stream and the other is for the doc. Once the antidote is well in control, I'll wake. It should only be a few hours from now."
As soon as he had drawn himself from her mind he looked to Hank and Jean. Quickly he relayed the directions and they jumped into action. And true to her word, two hours after receiving the antidote, Andel woke.
Xavier sent Rogue and Storm off to find clothing for Andel and Jack while Jean went to find food and Hank went to begin fiddling with various tests he still was running on Andel. Andel and Jack easily fell asleep while Xavier was lost in his own thoughts.
So what do you think? Should I keep going?
