Gaia wasn't sure how but word of her destroying the Danger Room had gotten around the school. When she showered and dressed before making her way down the stairs. Her stomach was growling in hunger but as she got to the bottom of the stairs, Gaia noticed a calendar on the wall with the date.

She swore to herself and checked the time-Jason started school in an hour. Letting out a string of delightful curse words, Gaia took off at a run to the garage. Coming out of the house, Gaia almost ran straight into Ororo Munroe. "Sorry Miss Munroe but can I borrow a car?" she asked her. "Or get a lift back to New York?"

"What for?" Ororo questioned, an amused look on her face.

"My brother starts school in an hour and I'd like to be there," Gaia confessed.

Ororo smiled. "I have some errands to run in New York so I'll take you. Go get your stuff."

Gaia grinned. Now there was two people in this mansion that she appreciated. Logan and Ororo. She bounded back up the stairs, two at a time, until she found the room she had been put in.

On the way to her room, Gaia past and open door with Remy LeBeau inside. He was packing his things which peaked her curiosity. "Qu'est-ce que tu fais?" Gaia frowned.

Dropping a vest into the suitcase, he grinned. "Emballage mon cher. Je dois ma propre maison pour aller à. Je suis simplement en train de faire une faveur."

Gaia chuckled. "Where do you live?" she asked him. "I thought that you lived here like some weird kind of kid who never leaves home."

Remy laughed. "Not at all, mon cher," he grinned. "I live in New Orleans. I come and help out every now and then when they need it. Are you leaving as well?"

"My little brother starts school today," she told him. "I'm surprising him."

"I've been meaning to ask," Remy coughed, "the tattoo on your arm? The Bloody Geese. I have heard of them."

Gaia glanced down at the tattoo of the rapid, bloody goose on her right shoulder. "Yeah I hooked up with them by accident really. They accept me as one of their own but they don't know who my father is-they'd probably pitch a fit if they did."

"I can see why," Remy laughed. "I imagine dating would have been hard for you growing up."

She rolled her eyes. "I didn't really date growing up. Can you imagine bringing anyone home to Wade Wilson and Shelby Cooper? Please." She picked up the deck of playing cards on the top of the suitcase. "I saw you with these yesterday…What exactly can you do?"

"I can tap into the potential energy of any object and make it kinetic," Remy explained, "thus making it explode on impact." He took the cards off her, "pick a card," he urged.

Gaia shrugged and when he splayed the cards out, she took one. She laughed a little when she saw the Queen of Hearts card in her hand.

"Now put it back," he told her.

Gaia rolled her eyes but did it anyway, she was not a cheesy card trick kind of girl.

"Is this your card?" he asked her, showing her the Queen of Hearts card.

"I so thought you were gonna show me something explode," Gaia pouted. "Not just show me a cheesy card trick."
"Watch, mon cher," he grinned. Remy threw the card out the window and it exploded in a shower of sparks.

"You know how to make a girl all tingly in all the right places," she grinned.

"It should be worrying that you get hot over explosives," Remy frowned, "but it's not. I like that."

"You have red eyes," Gaia whispered.

"And yours are blue," Remy grinned. "A beautiful shade of blue."

"You coming?" Ororo asked suddenly from the door.

"If you're ever in New Orleans, look me up," Remy grinned.

Gaia laughed and headed out.

Shelby shifted somewhat nervously in her spot as she watched Wade walk Jason across the school crossing. Everything was going good until they realised that Jason had forgotten his lunch so Shelby was forced to call Wade and have him bring it to them.

Now he was skipping across the rode with his son holding one hand and two sets of lunches in the other, his Hello Kitty backpack on his back. Shelby shook her head and resisted the urge to slap him as the other mums standing out the front of the gates started talking about them in low whispers.

"Just great," she sighed. As if Jason wasn't already different enough being able to bring any of his childlike fantasies to life or vanish anything from existence. "Wade, honey, we've been over this-you can't come to school with Jason."

"But why?" Wade asked her, head hanging in disappointment. "Jason gets to go."

"Because you'd probably kill the teacher or the first kid who disagreed with you?" Gaia suddenly asked.

"Gaia!" Jason shouted. He dropped his lunch and ran over to his sister before throwing himself at him. "You came! You came! Just like you promised!"

"Sally!" Wade yelled, dropping the lunch bags to do the same as Jason. The brunette child jumped aside just as his father crashed into Gaia sending them sprawling to the ground in a mass of tangled limbs.

Gaia started shouting any and every curse word in every foreign language she could think of. Shelby was mildly impressed her adopted daughter could swear in fifteen different languages. "Dad, get off me!" Gaia yelled, wriggling out from under him. She picked herself up off the ground and dusted off the red dress she was wearing.

Jason grabbed her leg and hugged her. "You can stay in my room!" he told her in a matter of fact tone of voice.

"You didn't say you were coming home," Shelby smiled softly. She ignored the other mothers who were now staring at Wade in horrified expressions. By now a lot of the parents in Hell's Kitchen knew who Deadpool was. She hugged Gaia and kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry but we turned your room into Monique's nursery."

Gaia shrugged. "For a kid that cute, I don't mind. I'll crash on the couch or get a hotel." She rubbed the sleeping baby's head and kissed her gently. "Sorry I didn't get the birth notice. I was knee deep in blood and bullets-shut up dad!"

Wade cursed under his breath. He leant forward and sniffed her. "You smell funny…like X-Men funny."

Gaia rolled her eyes. "I'll explain later. Ororo said congratulations on having Monique and she'll bring her gift around in a few days."

"What were you doing at the X-Mansion?" Shelby questioned.

"I said I'll explain later," Gaia shot back as the school bell rang. "Good luck on your first day, superstar," she told her brother.

Jason grinned. He went to his parents to say his goodbyes as Gaia stepped aside to check her phone. Out of the corner of her eye she could see a man in an expensive suit standing there at the curb in front of a limo. Inside the limo was a crying woman.

"Gaia Blake?" the man suddenly asked.

Gaia stood there blinking, she'd seen the man before but where was the problem.

"Mr B?" Shelby gasped. She had to fling her arm out and grab Wade's wrist to stop him from drawing his gun in a school zone. "What are you doing here?" she frowned.

"My friend requires some assistance," the man explained. "The authorities won't help and I assumed a mercenary such as yourselves would gladly help."

Gaia frowned. "Wait-you're my father? Aren't you?" she asked him.

Mr B straightened his tie. "Indeed I am. You are a stunning young woman, Gaia. Ready to take on the world…I've kept my distance from you for a reason but ever since Mrs White came to my attention I think all those with possible mutant children should be aware."

"Of what?" Gaia asked him. She was suddenly filled with an over protective sensation of Monique and Jason.

"Mrs White's daughter has been kidnapped," Mr B explained. "She reached out through certain channels and I've become aware of other mutant children across the country being kidnapped." He turned to Gaia, "will you take this?"

"Of course," Gaia said without hesitation. Personal experience made Gaia loath anyone who preyed on mutant children. "There's a café down the block. Meet me there and we can talk logistics."

Shelby frowned, she didn't like it when Mr B became involved. Nothing was ever simple with that man around.
