Chapter 15
Angelina got out of bed and heard the mutants talking really loud. They were yelling and screaming at each other, obviously talking about her. Angelina went to the bathroom to wash her dirty face. As she felt the cold water, she remembered the feeling of the green ooze again. A few hours later, Angelina could hear the mutants departing the living room and going somewhere else. So the young teen decided to have something to eat in the kitchen hoping that no one has there. But she was wrong.
"Hey kid." Logan said as he took a sip of his beer sitting down near the counter.
Angelina gave him a weak smile and grabbed a couple of fruits. Angelina sat across from Logan and didn't bother to look at him as she took a bite of her fruit.
Logan sighed, "Look kid, I'm sure you're not happy to find out that you have a dad who wasn't around to raise you. And I'm sorry."
"My mom left and yet, you haven't search for her?" Angelina said ignoring his last comment.
"Wheels did search for her but she blocked her mind." Logan answered,
They were quiet for a while.
"So has your mom ever gone on a date before?" Logan whispered.
"No, not really. Older men just flirt with her in front of me, it's really gross especially people my age. But….I knows she still loves you….dad." Angelina smiled at him.
Logan looked at the girl across from him and couldn't help but smile at his daughter. His daughter! He couldn't believe he was a dad for a real human being. Sure, he was like a fatherly figure for some of the girls here, but being someone else's blood felt good for him. He looked at Angelina's closely and saw a lot of Marie in her but her personality was like his; getting angry easily, looking for a fight.
RING!!!!
It was the doorbell. Logan looked at his watch, it was 11 PM. Who would be here this late? Logan thought as he walked to the front door. Logan opened the door and found a man with dark black hair and emerald eyes looked at Logan.
"Help……me." He whispered before he fainted.
Logan caught him just in time before he fell down. Logan grabbed the unknown man's arm, wrapping it around his shoulder, and wrapped his other arm around his waist pulling him to his feet. He walks to the coach half-carrying, half-dragging him while he moaned in pain. Logan also noticed that there was blood around him. Angelina came and gasped as she approached the wounded man.
"Get my mom and the others. Hurry!" yelled Angelina as she checked his wounds.
Logan ran off to get Xavier first. After, Logan got all the adults to the living room, Hank, went to get the first aid kit.
"Do you know who this is?" asked Jean wearing her pj's.
"Nope. He just fell on me asking for help." Logan shrugged.
Hank came back and gave Angelina some big bandages for his chest. Apparently, it looked like some wolf attacked him. As Angelina did that, she never seems to notice that emerald eyes opened and watched her.
"Are you an angel?" a voice asked.
Angelina stopped putting alcohol on the man's chest and looked at him. Everyone else was surprised too, that he woke up and that he said his first word.
"What?" she asked.
"I said are you an angel?" he repeated but hurt as he tried to stand up.
"Um…no sorry. What's your name?" Angelina asked as she sat at the table across from him.
"Um….my name? My name is Dr. Turner. Dr. Cole Turner." He said blinking rapidly getting his eyesight back.
THUMP!
Angelina fell off the table and stood back up as if she never fell. She stared at the stranger and remembered a man laughing with her as a young kid.
"Dr. Cole?" she questioned.
"Yes?" he asked as he looked at her eyes. "Have we met before?"
"Yes! It's me, Angelina! Remember the little girl who had better grades than everyone else." Angelina said.
But Dr. Cole's face was blank, he couldn't remember her. Angelina sighed as she brushed her hair away from her face.
"Do you remember a girl giving you a gold ring?"
"Yes. Her name….I used to call her Angel." Dr. Cole said smiling at the memory.
Angelina took off the ring on her finger and showed it to Dr. Cole. Cole grabbed the ring and remembered everything. He looked up to see the
"Angelina?" he whispered.
Angelina smiled as she hugged her old teacher. Cole was still bewildered of what just happened. The 11-year-old girl he tutored was now a teenager. As she let go of their hug, Cole looked at Angelina closer and couldn't believe how beautiful she had became.
'What's with all the racket?" yawned a voice.
Cole saw a dark-hair boy with emerald eyes walk in the scene wearing sweat pants and an old t-shirt. Angelina ran up to him and said something to him that widen his eyes. Angelina brought the strange boy towards him.
"Dr. Cole, this is Derek. Do you remember him?" she asked
"Derek? Look at you, you grown up. Do you still have a crush on Angel?" he asked.
Derek blushed. "No." He mumbled.
Dr. Cole started laughing as he gave Derek a hug. He looked at the two teenagers and couldn't believe that they were all grown-up.
