Chapter 5

"Mom, is he my dad?" Angelina asked.

"Yes he is." Marie answered as she touched Angelina's hair.

"You lied to me!" Angelina yelled as she let go of her grasp. "You told me he was dead! You told me he died in the war before I was even born!"

"Angel-"

"No! I'm not your Angel! You lied to me! You always lie…..you didn't tell me that you had powers! 16 years! Mom, you lied to me for 16 years. How could you?" she said as tears were dripping from her face.

"I was doing what was best for us."

Angelina scoffed, "No, what was best for you."

Marie walked towards her but she walked back. She reached for her hand but-

"Stay away from me." She whispered.

"Angelina."

"I said STAY AWAY FROM ME!" she yelled.

"Angelina, I'm your mother and you do what I say." She yelled back.

"And what? Kill me with those hands of yours just like you did to that kid back at food court."

SLAP!!!

Marie slapped Angelina's face and there was a red mark on her right cheek. Marie's face was mad.

"Don't you ever talk to me that way? I'm not a murder! I haven't used my powers in 16 years!"

"Don't you ever touch me again?" Angelina whispered.

Marie saw Angelina's face slowly looked back up at her but could tell that her face was all cold and dark. Marie reached her hand to her again but Angelina didn't take it.

"I hate you." She whispered.

"Angelina-"

"I HATE YOU!" She yelled as she ran off to her room upstairs.

All of the adults then heard a loud bang and then loud music from Evanescence called, "Everybody's Fool". Marie looked down at her gloved hands as she dropped down to the ground crying. Her hands were covering her face. Storm and Jean walked towards her and tried to confront her. But she pushed away then stood back up as she looked at them.

"Why? Why did you come back after all of these years?" she yelled.

"There is a new group called the "Sisterhood"-

"Of the Traveling Pants." Marie finished.

"Just Sisterhood, Rogue. I sense in Cerebro that they may be after you so how would you and your daughter like to come back to the X-men." Asked Xavier.

"No." she said firmly, "You came back here after 16 years and ruin my relationship with my daughter and you're telling me to come back!"

"MOM! HELP!"

They all ran upstairs until the door was locked and the music was still playing loudly. Scott and Logan were banging onto the door but it wouldn't open. Until Scott used his laser power at the door. The door flew opened rapidly as they entered. They all found a woman over Angelina's unmoved body.

"Don't move. Or else you're daughter will get more hurt than ever." The woman said.

"You're part of the "Sisterhood" aren't you?" Marie asked.

Angelina started waking up and got up until she felt the foe's arm around her neck chocking her.

"Move she dies."

Instead of them moving, Angelina punched the foe's stomach and pulled her onto the ground. She was about to run but the woman pulled Angelina's hair to the ground and punches her at the face. Angelina bent her legs, lifted the foe's body, and pushed it away backwards. She was thrown against the wall. However, she gotten back up and super-speed to Angelina as she hit Angelina's stomach. But something hit Angelina was causing her mouth to bleed and making her choke on her own blood. She was dropped onto the ground bleeding rapidly.

"Angelina!" yelled Marie as she ran to her but got punch. "You shouldn't have done that."

Marie punched her back as she pulled her shirt and threw her back at the wall again. Marie went to her daughter and saw a hole on her stomach.

"Wake up….Wake up, Angel." Marie whispered.

Marie checked her pulse and nothing was beating.

"Angel," Marie utters, her tone quivering. There was no response. Her eyes darted around her face swiftly, her breaths quickly becoming panicked and erratic. "No…" she whispered, "No…things will be ok!"

Marie noticed that Angelina's wound was disappearing as were the blood coming out of her mouth. When it was gone, Marie checked her pulse again but still nothing. Suddenly, Angelina's eyes popped opened rapidly. Angelina started coughing up the blood in her mouth. Marie looked at her daughter and hugged her tightly.

"I thought you were dead!" Marie cried.

"I will be if you don't let go." Angelina grunted.

Marie let go of her daughter, kissed her forehead, and gave a death glare at the new foe. As Marie was walking towards her, she took off her gloves.

"You tried to kill my only daughter! I will show you how I felt about that." She said.

Marie was about to touch her but someone stopped her hand. Marie looked behind her and saw Logan's face.

"Let go." Marie said.

"No, Rogue. You're not a killer." He said.

Marie let go of his grasp, "Stop calling me that! That's not my name anymore. What would you know, Logan? How would you feel if you lost someone really close and that is a part of you?" asked Marie.

Logan looked at her closely and was about to hit her but Angelina went between the two adults.

"Stop! Please stop your fighting and start acting like grown-ups." Angelia yelled.

"Look kid-"

"I'm not a kid, gosh!" Angelina said, then she pushed Logan forward as she was talking, "And if you ever hurt my mom, then you have to throw some punches at me first, got it buddy?"

Logan looked at Angelina and noticed that this girl is really his daughter. Logan couldn't help but smile at her bravery. Marie grabbed Angelina's arm as she moved her away from Logan. Logan kept staring at the two and wondered what his life would really be like if he raised her with Marie.

"Dad, look out!" Angelina yelled.

Logan looked forward and saw that a bullet was going towards him, but Angelina blocked it. Angelina fell backward as Logan caught her in his arms. Logan shaken a little and saw that bullet was disappearing.

"Nice catch pops." Angelina smiled

Angelina got up and touched the bullet that fell out of her body. She looked at it and looked up at the foe that shot her. The foe then vanished into thin air. Angelina turned around as she saw horrified faces especially her mother's.

"What?" Angelina said looking innocent.

"How long have you known?" asked Jean?

"What my powers? Oh, I found out about 2 years ago. Remember mom, when me and the boys were in a car accident and I was the only that wasn't injury badly."

"Boys?" questioned Logan.

"Don't Logan." Marie said decisively, "Angel, I thought that was because you got out quickly."

"Sorry to disappoint you mom, but I never leave my friends in danger." Angelina said, "And if you don't mind I got to meet the boys at the park."

"Boys?" asked Logan again.
