Chapter 9

Angelina was crying so hard and remembered the torture she and the others went through when they were younger but didn't know that some doctor was writing a report about her. But why don't i remember him well? Angelina thought. "Angelina, I found it!" yelled Jasmine. Angelina whips the tears away and went towards Jasmine. She was holding onto the missing boy's file. Angelina looked at it.

Name: Dustin

Gender: Male

Age: 10

Abilities:

Force fields- energy shields, often invisible or translucent protection

Angelina closed the file as she smiled with her friends.

"Let's go." They all said in their fake deep voices.

"Where is this kid?" whined Kyle

"Would you stop your whining? All we have to do is find the kid and then see if we can release the others." Justin whispered.

All of the boys were walking around looking for the missing kid and didn't find him at all. Until, Justin found him sleeping in a bed, all dirty and bruised. Kyle walked towards the boy and shake him which the startled the young boy.

"It's okay; we're here to rescue you." He answered. "He's too weak to walk or use his powers. That brat used him as an experiment." Whispered Kyle.

"Alright. I'll carry him while you guys find the girls." Derek ordered.

"Don't have to do that." Said a deep voice.

Derek turned around and found 4 people wearing their hoods. Angelina pulled her hood off and took off her fake deep voice device, "You know you have to wear this. They will figure out your voice."

"Thanks for the notice. We the found kid. Taylor, you carry him back to the jeep while we try to get as many kids we can." Derek ordered again.

They all went did what they were told. But what they didn't know was that there was a video camera in the room and a man was watching them.

"Stop them before they even reach to the exit." An unknown voice commanded.

Meanwhile, Taylor lay Dustin on the sit and checked his pulse. He opened his eyes looking all scared.

"It's okay, you're safe." Taylor whispered.

"No I'm not. It was trap. I tried to warn your group but I couldn't talk. There was a video camera in that room." Dustin said before he fell asleep.

"Oh crap." Taylor whispered as she turned on her walkie-talkie, "Boss, we have a problem."

Angelina came out of a room, holding two little girls' hands. Angelina told the girls' to wake up the other girls in the other room while she wakes up the room across from them, When Angelina went inside that room, she felt like she had been in this room before. Dark Angel closed her eyes and tried to remember.

The door opened. Little Angelina came inside a cold, dark room with a man with a pale face, blond hair, and brown eyes.

"What do you want with me, you monster!" she yelled.

The pale face man slapped her. "Didn't your mommy teach you manners, X-45?" He asked as he pulled her hair.

Angelina bit the hand that was hurting her. "That's not my name!" Angelina was free from his grasp. He growled as he made Angelina looked at his dark, evil eyes. "Look kid, you will do as I saw or else you will never see your mommy ever again."

He let her go. When he closed the door behind him, she started crying.

Angelina opened her eyes as she looked around the room. "Nothing has changed" Angelina thought as she walked around. Then Angelina saw a girl, who seemed about her age when she came here, all curled up from getting hurt. She woke the girl up and saw fear in her eyes. Angelina picked up the little girl and let her sleep on her shoulder.

"Dark Angel, can you hear me? We can't go to the exit we came in. It's a trap; meet us at the back way." Derek said.

"Got it." Angelina answered backed. She looked at the girls around, "Follow me." They all ran to the back way and saw the rest of the team. They all had little children around them, some about their age.

"Taylor's driving the jeep and Justin is the driving the other one. Sarah and Jasmine I want you and your kids go to Taylor's. Drew and Kyle, go to Justin's." Derek commanded.

"What about the kids I have with me?" asked Angelina.

"Jasmine will take care of them as Drew will do the same thing with mine. You and I have to distract them." Derek answered.

"Why do I always have to be with you when we have to be the distraction?" whined Angelina.

"Because you're pretty." Derek smirked.

Angelina rolled her eyes. The jeeps came and all the kids went inside.

"Remember, wear you're mask when you guys drop the kids at the police station. Then meet us back here in 15 minutes." Derek said in his walkie-talkie.

"Got it boss." Answered Taylor.

Derek and Angelina peeked at the front door and saw probably hundreds of men wearing black suits and black sunglasses. Angelina and Derek looked at each other as they put on their hoods.

"Looking for me?" asked Angelina in her deep voice.

Half of them ran after her as she ran away. Angelina was running faster than the black suits guys were and they couldn't keep up with her until she noticed a dead-end. Before Angelina stopped, she did a back-flip over them and landed like a gymnastics winner smiling. But that smirk vanished as she fell down to the ground bleeding from her side. As she fell, a man was behind her holding a blooded knife in his hands.

"NO!" yelled a male voice.

Derek ran to the guy and tackled him like in football. Then started throwing some punches at him until he could see blood all over his face. Derek got off of him and carried Angelina in his arms. Before the men could pull their guns out, their foes vanished.

"They're gone, sir." Said a man in his walkie-talkie.

"Thank you, Roger." Answered back a man watching the whole fight.

Derek got inside the jeep putting Angelina's head on Jasmine's lap.

"It looks like they put poison on the knife. I don't think she can heal fast with this. Hand me a straw." Jasmine said looking at Angelina's wound.

Jasmine sucked the poison out of Angelina and saw her coughing breathing normally again. "She'll be fine, just needs lots of rest. Let's take her back home."

Back at Angelina's house….

"She's really athletic, Logan. She is a great student but a rebellion. The principal won't expel her but suspend her if she gets into a fight." Marie said.

"Fine. One more question. Why? After all these years, why did you run away not telling me that I'm going to be the father? Logan asked.

Marie looked sad when he asked that question but knew that was coming at her.

"I was scared Logan. I didn't want you to regret what we had and I thought you might leave me taking care of our child." Marie said.

"But you left. Marie, I would have been so happy taking care Angelina. I always wanted a daughter." Logan said smiling at her.

Marie chuckled a little, "Logan, I didn't want her to live in the mansion…feeling different. I wanted her to live a normal life before she even has powers. Logan, you have every right to hate me right now. But to tell you the truth, when she was a little girl, i would always tell stories of the adventures I had as an X-man with you guys."

Marie said looking at all of them, "She would always ask me what did, daddy do? Or did daddy kill anyone? But her favorite story was when you saved me from Magneto remember?"

"Yeah I remembered. Marie, I don't hate you. I'm just mad. But if you need any help, raising a teenager, I'll be there for you." Logan said.

"Marie, the offer is still standing. Angelina, can learn some new techniques in the Danger room with Logan." Xavier said.

Marie sighed. Logan then sniffed and smelled something different from the outside.

"You guys, I can walk." Angelina whispered as she was being carried by Derek.

"Angelina, you can walk now but the poison is gone all the way." Jasmine said walking behind them. "Plus, you need to take a shower."

Derek dropped Angelina and she climbed up to her room. Before closing the window, Angelina mouthed "thank you" to them. After taking a 20 minute shower, Angelina put on her sweats pants and a sweater. But before she put the sweater on, Angelina covered the wound with a bandage around her waist. Angelina opened her door and hear them still talking. She looked at her clock and noticed it was 11 PM.

"Mom?" asked Angelina as she walked down the stairs. "What have you guys been talking about for such a long time?"

"Old memories and you." Marie answered.

"Geez, I feel so special." Angelina sarcasm. She sat next to her mom.

Marie told her daughter about the mansion and about the school. And telling her that they're going to stay there for a while.

"What!" Angelina yelled as she stood up, "No way mom. This is our home, why move?"

"Angelina, you can hang out with your dad and get to know him." Marie said.

"The answer is still no." Angelina said.

"How about we make a deal. One month. One month we stay at the mansion and if you still hate it then we can go back home." Marie said.

Angelina groaned, "Fine."

"Good. We will leave in the morning."
