Chapter 4

Marie and Angelina left the club and rode to mall to buy some clothes for Angelina. As they were walking around, Marie couldn't help but notice that someone was following them.

"Hey mom, why do you always wear gloves?" Angelina asked.

"Oh I have sensitive skin, but whenever I touch you without my gloves I can feel you and not kill you." Marie whispered the last part.

"You know what? I'm getting pretty hungry, let's get some food down at the food court." Angelina said.

"I'm glad you said it first." Marie said smiling at her 16 year-old.

After they were done finishing their food, they decided to rest for a little while.

"Angelina, I'm going to get another drink, okay? I'll be right back."
"Mom, I'm 16 not 6."

"Don't remind me."

While Marie was re-filling her drink, Angelina noticed that some boys were watching her. Angelina knew this but didn't want to look at them so she decides to ignore them. Instead, one of them walked towards her.

"What's a pretty lady like you doing at a food court all alone?" he asked.

"I should ask you the same thing." Angelina said.

"How about I buy you a drink?" he asked.

Angelina scoffed as she got up from her chair. The guy reaches for her shoulder to stop her. Lightening fast, she brings her arm up and twists his arm behind his back. The guy was shocked at her speed and couldn't get out of her grip. Marie finished re-filling her drink and starts walking back to the table but notice a crowd around them. She gets through and notices that Angelina is hurting a man. Angelina then realizes what's she doing and let's go.

"You know what happens to girls who hurt a man?" he said smiling.

Then his group came cracking their knuckles. Marie saw her daughter's eyes widen open and gotten angry. Marie then heard the guy asking her about some drink.

"I'm sorry but I get drinks from some wuss who can't fight a girl." Angelina said.

"Why you little son of-"he said after he punch her.

"Angelina!"

Angelina touched her lip and noticed that it was bleeding. Angelina punched the guy in the face two times before his nose was starting to bleed. He was about to punch her again however she did a backflip as she crouched down like a cougar. Angelina then roundhouse kicked him at the face, and then bent kicked him hard in the gut. He groaned in pain as he went down in a heap. Angelina grinned in fulfillment except then she felt someone's arm around her neck chocking her.

"Let her go!" yelled a voice.

It was that woman, Jean, she and her friend went in front of the bad boy gang and looked at them.

"What are you going to do? Hit me?" he laughed, "Like 3 girls could beat us."

"How about 4?" said a voice?

The guy turned his head around and saw Marie's face all mad. She took off her glove and touched his face. Red and blue veins were showing all over as he groaned in pain. She finally let go as she put her glove back on.

"Mom? What the hell did you just do?" Angelina questioned in shock.

Marie didn't answer when she saw two familiar faces looking at her. She grabbed her daughter's hand and they left in a hurry. As they were walking in the parking lot…

"Mom, what's going on? How did you do that? Who were those people looking at us?" Angelina asked as they were trying to find their car.

"I'll explain on the way." She answered.

As they driving, Angelina felt weird around her mom. She nearly killed the poor guy. Marie knew what her daughter was thinking, and knew that look on her face….that was the face Logan did on me when he stabbed me and I absorbed his healing powers, Marie thought.

"Look Angel, I know this tough right now. But you have to trust me on this okay?"

"Mom, those same girls are following us with a black jeep." Angelina said.

Marie looked at the window and felt mad; she then pushed the paddle on the car. She was driving faster and she didn't care as long as they don't keep up to her.

"Mom what are you doing?" Angelina yelled.

They were driving past from slow cars and Marie went inside the car pool and drove even faster. Marie looked up again and saw them driving again but what she did see was a man with red glasses driving after them. Marie rolled her eyes. Finally they reached to their house.

"Get out of the car! Hurry!" Marie yelled. "Lock the doors."

"Mom what's going on?" Angelina asked.

"There are some people who are chasing us that I thought would leave me alone for a while." Marie said.

Then the door bell ringed and neither of them brother to answer it. Then came the knocking, Marie noticed her daughter looking scared. Then the door unlocked as it opened widely.

"Hello?" asked a voice. "Marie?"

Marie looked and saw a man in a wheelchair, the two girls who were following her, the red four-eye guy, and another man that Marie saw but couldn't breathe.

"We're not here to hurt you. We just want to talk." Said the white hair woman.

Angelina let go of her mom's grasp and walked towards them. Marie tried to grab her daughter's arm again but couldn't reach it. Angelina walked closer and saw the un-guests people more clearly.

"Who are you? What do you want with us?" she asked.

"What's your name?" asked the badly.

"Why should I tell you, badly?" Angelina said firmly.

He raised an eyebrow at her and smiled kindly at her. Angelina hates being quiet it brothers her.

"Angelina is it?" he answered, "We came here to talk to Marie."

"Why do you want to talk to my mom?" she asked.

"Your mom?" said the brown hair man.

"Yeah my mom. How did you think I was born?" Angelina answered. "Mom can you please stop playing hide-o-go-seek and come out already?"

Marie came out and walked towards her daughter. She pulled Angelina behind her at stared at wheelchair man.

"Hello, Charles."

"Hello….." Charles nodded his head, "Rogue."

"That's not my name anymore." Marie said firmly.

"Mom, you know these people?" Angelina asked.

Marie looked down at her daughter and then at the man. "Yes I do."

"I used to go to their school for 2 years and left when I was 19. Hello, Jean, Scott, Storm, and Logan. It's been too long."

"16 years. I believe that's how old Angelina is, right?" asked Jean.

"She turned 16 this morning."

Logan noticed that Angelina was staring at him and didn't like to be staring at some girl. But when he saw her, he noticed the young Rogue at a bar 18 years ago.

"Why are you staring at me, kid?" asked Logan.

"Logan, leave her alone!" yelled Marie.

"Why should I? Should I leave her all alone just like you did to me?" Logan yelled back as he walked to her.

"I had to." She whispered.

Logan was about to say something until he noticed his chain necklace he gave to Marie. It was know on this Angelina's neck. Logan took it.

"Hey! Give that back! That's my birthday present!" Angelina yelled.

"No it isn't, kid. You're mom stole it from me." Logan said firmly.

"I didn't steal it! You gave it to me, remember!" said Marie.

"That chain belongs to you?" asked Angelina. "That can't be, that belonged to my dad."

Logan looked at her with shocked then at Marie. Logan couldn't believe it.

"Is that why you left the mansion?" Logan asked.

Marie kept her down as she was protecting her daughter.

"Please tell me that's not why you left." Logan said,

"Yes I got pregnant with your child and…I was scared. I raised our daughter by myself." Marie said.

Logan looked mad and sad at the same time. He stared at the young girl and noticed that Rogue was telling the truth. She has his eyes, her brown hair and smile, and possibly his anger problem. He was a dad.
