Disclaimer: I own X-Men Evolution


X-23 sat down for a little rest. She and Lilly had just run two and a half miles through a dark forest. They both sat in a tree but on different branches. X-23 took off her goggles and mask and Lilly put her sunglasses in her jacket pocket.

"Where exactly are we anyway?"

"De base was bout ten miles west o New Orleans. So we bout seven an a half."

"New Orleans, But I was in Vermont."

"Wow day really didn't you ta go somewheres."

X-23 was very silent now.

"You said that we had to make a couple stops beforeI couldleave?"

"Hey, we need ta break inta S.H.E.I.L.D an get some info."

"What!"

"I need some info dat only day can give me. We'll call it even after dat."

"You only helped me out of there so I could help you get your files."

"Dat and I like your attitude."

They were silent again.

"What exactly are you trying to get from S.H.E.I.L.D?"

"Information."

"About what."

"My brother."

Lilly got up and walked over to the branch that X-23 was sitting on. She took a piece of paper out of her pocket and showed it to X-23. It was a letter, and judging by the neatness of the handwriting it was written by a young child.

"My brother wrote me dis de night before he was taken away."

X-23 read the letter to herself.

Dear Lilly,

I don't know if you'll remember me when you learn to read this but I'll give it a shot. I am you're older brother Remy. Our parents died when you were very little and I doubt that you remember them either. From what I can tell you got mama's looks and daddy's attitude. We are both different from the rest of the world though. Your eyes are red and black and so are mine, some day I hope to find you and make you apart of my life. The photo at the bottom of the envelope is of me holding youthe day you were born. I was the proudest big brother on the planet that day and I still am. You will also find a card in the envelope it is the Queen of Diamonds. Iam the King of Hearts, and I promise that you will always be my Queen of Diamonds. I will make sure of it. A man named Jean-Luc Lebeau is adopting me today. I just wanted you to know that I love now and I always will.

Remy

"I still have de picture."

Lilly reached into her pocket and pulled out a worn out photograph. In it was a boy about five years old holding a little bundle. He also had a pair of sunglasses in his hands that he was obviously forced to take off during the picture. The boy had hair that was a little darker then Lilly's and wore it very short. His eyes were different from a normal person's they were red on black. X-23 studied every inch of the picture but didn't try to touch it.

"An here's de card."

She reached into her pocket again and pulled out a playing card. It was indeed the Queen of Diamonds. After a few seconds Lilly put the items back into her pocket.

"So you want to find your brother, and be a family."

"Dat's the only ting dat I've ever wanted my whole life."

That was all X-23 could think about as Lilly climbed up to another branch and fell asleep. X-23 remembered when all she wanted to do was destroy Logan. But after she met him she couldn't do it. She was disappointed at first but then realized that Logan wasn't to blame for her existence. And he became a father to her whenever she was around. She got something better then what she wanted, she got a higher purpose in life. Maybe she could help Lilly get the same thing.


Lilly opened her eyes and looked around, X-23 was asleep on the branch below her. And asif on command X-23 opened her eyes and looked up at Lilly.

"Mornin."

"So where to now?"

"My leg still hurts so we be walk'n. And we go'n to my house."

"Where is that?"

"New Orleans."

"We better get going then."

X-23 jumped down from her resting spot and looked up at Lilly. She was slowly making her way down the tree, branch by branch. When she finally touched the ground, X-23 had found a nice fallen tree to sit and wait on. Lilly put her sunglasses back on and then glanced up at X-23.

"Ok ready."

Then X-23 mumbled something under her breath that Lilly could have sworn sounded like "About time". They walked for an hour in silence, until they found a road.

"Now which way?"

"Give me a minute."

She didn't answer but she just started walking. After a minute X-23 ran after her.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"New Orleans."

"It's this way?"

"Yeah, I tink."

X-23 heard this but said nothing. They did manage to get a little conversation going for a while though. But it ended when the subject changed to X-23's past. It wasn't until they hit the heart of New Orleans that they spoke again.

"Where do you live?"

"Storyville."

"That dump."

"Yep. Now come on we gots ta catch a bus to get der anyways."

They found the right bus and got on.No one paid them any attention as they got on and off the bus. Then after they walked another block Lilly stopped in front of a very old building that looked like it was falling apart. She knocked on the door and an old woman answered it. She gasped and squeezed Lilly tight, some how she managed to get out the words.

"It's nice to see you too Me-ma."
