HP and Martin Mystery Cross

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)
"You're a Dark Phoenix!? That's so cool! Can we see your Phoenix Form?" Martin asked jumping and bouncing around M.O.M. excitedly and causing her to smile slightly at his child like curiosity and awe.
"How about I show you one power all Phoenix's and those with active Phoenix blood share instead?" M.O.M. asked smiling slightly when he nodded his head rapidly, wincing slightly when he aggravated his concussion because of it. M.O.M. quickly brought out an empty test tube vial and remembered how she had felt that day her daughter was stolen from her, causing a single red tear to slip down her pale cheek and land in the vial. Due to the darkness inside of every Dark Phoenix their tears were made of mainly blood although their healing tears were much stronger than any other Phoenix's because of this.
"Hey are you okay? You're bleeding." Diana asked standing up and making her way to M.O.M. worriedly but stopping when the woman waved her concerns down.
"Phoenix's of all types have healing tears. What their tears look like depends on what type of Phoenix they are. My husband was a Fire Phoenix and therefore his healing tears looked like normal tears, because I'm a Dark Phoenix my tears are composed of my blood and are much stronger than any other healing tears you will find. Snow Phoenix's, like Martin, tears are a light shade of blue instead of clear like human tears. Immediately after leaving the eyes a Snow Phoenix's tears turns into a snow flake which are much more powerful healers than say a Fire Phoenix's but nowhere near as powerful as a Dark Phoenix's." M.O.M. explained as she stood and walked near Martin with the vial in her hand.
"Stay still Martin so I can heal that concussion." M.O.M. ordered tipping the vial over the visible knot on his head and watching as the single red tear drop fell from the vial easily and landed on the wound, causing it to sizzle slightly as it began to close up.
"There. How does that feel?" M.O.M. asked stepping back and putting down the empty vial while Martin blinked for a moment and looked around.
"Sweet! Everything's not so blurry now!" Martin said grinning slightly as he looked around curiously while M.O.M. chuckled slightly behind her hand at his exuberance that reminded her so much of her husband. She distinctly remembered how his exuberance had once got him into so much trouble with her mother, the then head of the Center, because he had caused some goo in her office to explode and leave a large mess.
"Stay still Martin and I'll activate your Snow Phoenix blood too." M.O.M. said pulling a syringe out of her pocket and flicking the needle of it for a second before jabbing it into Martins arm, not giving him enough time to protest. M.O.M. emptied the syringe and took out, watching in amusement as Martin slowly turned into a small Phoenix.
He was only seventeen which meant he hadn't come into his majority yet, which was twenty one for Phoenix's, and therefore he was still just a little chick albeit a very cute one. He was small and had blue feathers with a small golden mane and crown plumage and a small yellow beak. He let out an adorable confused little chirp sound that caused Diana to squeal over him as he hopped around excitedly, or tried too since he wasn't used to his Phoenix body yet.
"Here. I can at least be in Phoenix form too until he can shift back." M.O.M. said smiling slightly as she focused for a second before turning into a full grown Dark Phoenix, which made her twice Martins height in Phoenix form.
She was a fully grown black and red Phoenix with a white jewel like mark near her neck. She let out a small soothing song like trill that seemed to flow across Diana, Java, Billy and Martin as she flapped her wings once to land elegantly on her clawed feet beside the smaller blue Phoenix. M.O.M. trilled gently again and lowered her head to rub it against Martins smaller one soothingly when he began to chirp excitedly up at her. She seemed to freeze in place for a second at something he chirped before chirping back a reply that caused him to flap his wings and trill happily, causing the two humans and one alien in the office to feel happy. The two stayed in Phoenix form for another ten minutes, Martin getting more used to his new form as he excitedly chirped question after question at the older Phoenix while bouncing all around her on his tiny feet as she stood there and watched in amusement while answering his questions.
"You should find turning into a Phoenix and back into a human almost second nature to you now Martin. Although it'll be a few days before you're ready to attempt flying or Water Walking." M.O.M. said seamlessly turning back into a human after flying a safe distance away when Martin suddenly returned to his human form as well with an embarrassed blush on his cheeks.
"Right and uh sorry about that question I asked." Martin apologized sheepishly, causing M.O.M. to actually giggle slightly behind her hand at his embarrassed and sheepish face.
"It's alright Martin. It's a natural question that any newly awoken Phoenix would ask when they change for the first time. Especially since your mind was that of a newly hatched Phoenix at the time." M.O.M. said still trying to control her giggles at Martins expense while the boy flushed harder and steadfastly refused to look at her. M.O.M. could only hope that when she finally found her daughter that the girl didn't assume Martin was her replacement.
"What did he ask?" Diana asked curiously while Java and Billy looked confused and curious as well while Martin flushed harder and M.O.M. broke out in harder to conceal giggles.
"A very natural question, albeit amusing in this case, that everyone with Phoenix blood asks when they first transform." M.O.M. explained while Diana and Java looked even more curious while Billy had a clue as to what she was talking about and grinned.
"Sorry Marty but you gotta admit that it is funny." Billy said while Java and Diana exchanged confused looks and shrugs. M.O.M. finally took pity on the two and grinned slightly.
"Since he first transformed into a Phoenix he had the mind of a newly hatched Phoenix. So the first thing he asked was a very natural and sensible question for any newly hatched Phoenix." M.O.M. began while Martin tried to duck into his jacket and hide like a turtle, he would never live this down and he knew it.
"He assumed the first Phoenix he saw was his mother and asked if he could call me 'mama'."
