Chapter 10

After packing, Angelina called all of her friends and told them where she is going to stay. Sarah told her if there is another mission, she will pick her up. Angelina walked outside of the house; she's going to miss this house and hoped the mansion is lame and ugly. When they arrived at the mansion, Angelina's mouth dropped. It was huge and beautiful! Angelina was sad already. Angelina's room was between her parents' room and that she hated.

"So how do you like the mansion?" asked Logan leaning against the door.

"To tell you the truth, I like it. It's big and the garden looks gorgeous. I was hoping it would be the opposite." Angelina answered.

"You wanna meet some people?" asked Logan.

Angelina nodded and Logan took her to the living room. There were only a few people in there.

"Kitty, Bobby, I would like you to meet Angelina, Rogue's daughter." Logan greeted.

"Rogue's daughter?" questioned a man in his 30's with light brown hair and dark eyes.

"Hi I'm Kitty and this is my husband, Bobby Drake. Your mom and I were roommates back then. She was my best friend in the whole mansion." Kitty said.

"Hi." Angelina said. Angelina looked around the room and noticed someone she recognized. "Derek?"

A boy with black hair and light brown eyes turned around.

"Angelina?"

"What are you doing here?" they both said.

"I told you guys that I was staying here." Angelina said.

"I live here." Derek answered.

Derek and Angelina were walking around the garden talking about what Marie told her about the X-men.

"So how long have you lived here?" she asked.

"The night we escaped." Derek said. "I was walking around in the rain looking for shelter. Then the professor found me and told about this place and ever since then I lived here."

"But what about school and stuff?"

"I wake up earlier and drive over there." Derek smiled.

Angelina scoffed, "You're unbelievable. Do they know about…?"

"What? About General….? Nope. Only the professor, don't worry you can trust him."

They both laughed at each other and after talking for the whole afternoon, they had nothing else to do.

"How would you like to experience the Danger Room?" Derek asked.

"The Danger Room?" Angelina asked.

"I missed you so much Rogue!" Kitty said.

"I've missed you too, Kitty. But I can't breathe." Marie mumbled.

Marie has hugged everyone she knew before she left the mansion and couldn't believe how much everything has changed. They were in her new room and were talking about everything. Kitty married Bobby 1 year later after Rogue's disappearance and now have 3 kids; 2 girls and 1 boy. Logan came in.

"Marie did you tell Angelina about the Danger Room?" asked Logan.

"No. Why?" Marie answered.

"Because she is inside of there with a kid." Logan said,

"What?" Marie said as she ran to the Danger Room.

Marie and Logan went to the main room and saw Professor Xavier and Storm inside watching.

"Why are you letting my daughter fight in the Danger Room? She doesn't know anything about it!" Marie yelled.

"Don't worry, Rogue. She is in there with Derek." Storm said.

"Derek?" questioned Marie.

Down at the Danger Room, Angelina and Derek were running around from gunmen trying to shot at them. After spinning around, the gunmen killed their own men instead of Derek and Angelina. Then more came.

"Angelina, we'll keep doing running around two times and then jumped inside the pool." Derek said,

"Is that even real?"

Derek nodded and they ran again. Then both of them of jumped inside the pool. But before the gunmen could even look down at the pool, Logan shut off the gunmen and ran to the teenagers. The two teenagers came out of the pool 8 minutes later.

"Why did you do that for?" Derek yelled. "We were going to attack them."

"You kids, hold onto your breathe for 8 full minutes. How the hell did you do that?" asked Logan,

They both looked at each other.

"P.E.?" Angelina shrugged

"Angelina! You could have gotten yourself killed." Marie yelled at her.

"Mom, I'm used to getting chases after gunmen." Angelina said.

After hearing herself, Angelina clasped her mouth wishing she hasn't said that. Marie looked at her daughter.

"What does that mean?"

"I mean, I'm used to getting chased after jocks." Angelina lied. "Cuz they hate it when I pour food onto their cheerleaders."

As the two teens were walking behind adults, Derek smacked Angelina's head.

"What was that for?" Angelina growled.

"You almost told them about last night." Derek hissed.

"Well, they feel for it." Angelina whispered.

Derek sighed and looked Angelina for a while. "Meet me at the balcony at 11:30" he whispered before they departed to their rooms.

Angelina changed into different clothing; shorts and a blue tank top and tennis shoes. When Angelina came out of her room, she saw Logan.

"Hey dad, wait up!" Angelina yelled.

"Now you're calling me dad?" Logan asked.

"I gotta get used to it, right?"

"Yeah me too. I'm glad I have a kid like you."

"Thanks, dad." She smiled at him.

After dinner, Angelina walked inside her mom's room. She saw these picture on the counter and never seen them before. They were all from when she was a teenager in the mansion. One was with Kitty and her outside at the gardens, Jean, Storm, and her in a lab, and the last one, she and Logan smiling at the camera. Angelina looked at it more and noticed that her mom looked very happy that day.

"Angelina? What are you doing in here?" asked her mom.

"Sorry mom. I just…I never seen them before." Angelina said, "You looked very happy."

"I always looked happy in my pictures." Marie said as she lay on the bed.

"Mom….do you still love Logan?" Angelina asked as she put the picture down.

Marie looked at her, "Yes I do. I always kept that picture under my pillow picturing him next to me. I just hope he feels the same way."

"Then why can't you guys get married?"

Marie started to laugh, "Angel, we can't get married because….."

"Because of what? He's sick?" Angelina questioned.

"His body it's all metal. That's how he is able to heal just like you but it also can't let him age at all. He looks like the same person I left 16 years ago."

"Mom, how old was he when you guys started dating?" Angelina asked,

"To be honest, I don't know. Neither does him" she answered.

"EWWWW! Mom, you're gross. What if he was older than wheels?" Angelina yelled.

Marie laughed again, "I don't care. I will love him no matter what."

"Who are you? And have you done with my mom?" Angelina asked.

"Very funny." Marie said as she threw a pillow at her.

Angelina stopped laughing, "I gotta get dressed."

"For what?"

"Derek says to meet him at the balcony at 11:30. So I have 2 hours to get ready. I think he's going to give me my birthday present." Angelina said before she left.

However, she didn't noticed that Logan was there listening to whole conservation. Logan looked inside the room and saw Marie looking at the picture of him and her. She looked sad but felt happy to see hear his voice again after all of those years.
