Don't
own anything.
Present Day (10 years later)
There was a lot of noise in the Institute. Probably everyone is getting ready for school. Sydney looked over at her alarm clock and noticed that it was 4:00 3 hours before everyone got up. She looked over at her roommate Rogue who was just as confused then looked at the third bed which belonged to Kitty Pride and empty.
"What the hell is going on?" Rogue asked.
"No idea" Syd answered "lets find out."
"Why not." she answered in that southern accent that she has.
The two left the room it enter a crowded hall way. They both moved toward the front of the crowd. Before Sydney could get any further she was plowed down by someone running back out of the crowd.
"Sorry 'bout that." Spoke Scott Summers.
Before he could go anywhere Syd grabbed on to his arms keeping him from getting off of her. Scott looked down at her in surprise. "What's going on, why is every up so damn early?" she asked.
"New students everyone wants to get a look at them." Scott answered. "Now will you let me go or are we going to stay like this all day?" he asked with a grin on his face.
Sydney was satisfied with his answer and let go of the grip she had on him. Scott stayed on top of her for a moment longer the got off of her and helped her up before leaving. Syd turned to Rogue and said "Two choices meet the new mutants or get ready for school?"
"They'll still be here when we get done" Rogue said with a smile.
"My thoughts exactly" Sydney said heading to the bathroom.
"Jean isn't going to be happy"
'Then she can take a cold shower I don't care."
"Not about that about Scott. I seen the look he gave you and he fact that he didn't up when you let him go or earlier." Rogue tried to explain.
"First of all Scott doesn't like me and, probably wanted to make Jean jealous. Secondly I don't give a damn about what Jean or Scott thinks of me."
"Whatever you say" Rogue said under her breath.
After Sydney and Rogue got dressed and ate breakfast they went into the living room to meet the new dream team.
"Why thank you for joining us." Professor X had said as they entered the room. He didn't even try to hide the disappointment that he felt toward Sydney at this moment. "I would like you two to meet Hunter and Willow the two newest members of the team. Willow can turn herself invisible and Hunter can astral project. These two are Rogue and Sydney. Sydney and move freeze and blow objects up. Our dear Rogue here can absorb ones powers and memories with flesh to flesh contact." The Professor explained.
"Professor we are really sorry that we didn't come with the rest of the team. We just thought that it would be best to come later after they had a chance to settle a little." Sydney tried explaining to the professor. It wasn't working Logan looked amused at her attempt for salvation. It was funny how Sydney now called Charles professor like everyone else. He used to be plain old Charles back before he started the Institute.
"You two are dismissed you may go to school now." And with that the two teenaged girls left for school.
Later that day
Sydney was in heath class when the teacher walked in with a bunch of flour sacks.
"I bet you all are wondering what I'm doing with all this flour." The teacher Mrs. Sony asked.
"Not really" said one of the kids in the back.
"Anyway" she started clearly annoyed "I will be pairing everyone up and giving them a baby." She demonstrated with the bag of flour. She went on with the pairing until she got to Sydney "Miss. Prince will be working with lets see Mr. Summers."
Sydney looked over at Jean and Scoot to see the look of utter confusion on there faces. When Scoot seen her looking he gave a small grin. Just great she thought to herself. Sydney bolted out of the classroom before Scott could say anything to her. She had study hall last block and decided to skip it.
When Sydney got to the Institute she noticed that Professor X and Logan were in the living room talking about Logan's missing past.
"You hold the key too many unanswered questions." whispered a faint voice.
Sydney ran up to her room and took out her mother's trunk from under her bed. She took out a photo album that her mother had put together after Sydney was born. Sydney hadn't looked at it in years but knew the exact page she wanted. She gasped in shock at the man in the picture. Logan was the man in the photos which meant that Logan was her biological father. Sydney grabbed the book and ran down stairs to where Logan and the Professor were last at.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Logan snarled.
"Shouldn't you be at school right now?" Professor X asked looking at his watch.
Damn she had forgotten about cutting class. "Well yeah but that's not important at the moment I need to speak with you its really important."
"I'm working with Logan right now." He told her.
"I can see that but it's about my parents" she said waving the book in the air.
"Alight" Charles sighed "go to my office I shall be there in a moment."
She left the living room and closed the door behind her and headed to his office. She wasn't in there long but to her it felt like an eternity.
"What about your parents do you need to talk to me about?" Charles asked as he wheeled himself around to the desk to face her.
"It's about my father." She paused knowing that Charles wanted her to continue but she couldn't find the words so she opened the photo album and put it on the desk. "Look."
He took the album "What am I... Logan. It can't be can it?" he asked in disbelief.
"It seems that Logan is the man that got my mother pregnant, my father."
"This could be the answer that Logan was always looking for. We most tell him." Charles started to roll around the desk.
"Charles no we cant tell him not yet. You know if we tell him we need to tell him everything. And you know that I can't have people know about my mother who she was I would be in serious danger. I will tell him I promise just in my own time please Charles."
"Alright but don't wait to look it might cause serious damage to any relationship you might have with you father." Charles warned as she walked out the door.
