Summary: During puberty or in a moment of extreme stress, a mutant's abilities surface for the first time. A situation cause Elizabeth's powers to surface. When it becomes public knowledge, Elizabeth finds out who her true friends really are.

Pairings: Implied Liason

Inspiration: Honestly, X-men: First Class and X-men: Days of Future Past. I have been a huge X-men fan since I was a kid, and I had a thought hit me. What if Elizabeth was a mutant? How would that change things? I'll do several one shots where Elizabeth is a mutant, so keep an eye out for them.

Timeline: 1998 to 2000 (Please forgive any timeline mistakes, I was like seven when this all occurred so it's all a real blur for me since I wasn't an avid watcher back then. I was more into Power Rangers)

Songs that helped inspire me:

"Mad World" by Gary Jules

"Smile (Charlie Chaplin)" by Glee Cast

"Here's to Us" by Halestorm

"After the Storm" by Mumford and Sons

Part 2 of 2

"Finding Family"

It had been two years since that day.

So many that it was too many to count, but they were not spent in fear or isolation. They were spent with good friends, and in good company. Not that it hadn't been a battle for the repression against mutants was still very much an everyday battle, but with those Elizabeth had come to call family, she was able to bear it. Sonny had taken on the role of the big brother, and kept an every watchful eye on the younger brunette though he had loosen up quite a bit when his old flame, Kate Howard formerly known as Connie Falconari sweeping into town. The woman had done wonders for the mobster, and help kept him in check.

Francis now ran the Haunted Star with the help of Johnny, though they still came around for brownies and to check in on Elizabeth. Meanwhile, Nicolas had really turned his family name which had been synonymous with death into a force of good for mutant kind around the world. He also recently started dating Carly of all people. The blond woman had been a hurricane of contradictions, and had spiraled out of control with the whole having Jason pretend to be Michael's father. While Carly always claimed she was a class A bitch, her self destructive behavior had the most unexpected cause.

She was an empath. A very powerful one, and she had never known she was a mutant so she never trained in controlling it. Since Jason was so good at controlling his emotions, Carly had been drawn to his stability because it helped her stay in control. After the whole mess with Tony and AJ had been dealt with, when Carly was reeling it was Nicolas that found her and picked her up. Nicolas had recognized the signs of an empath for his Uncle Stephan had the same power, and he went about helping Carly. Through all that, friendship had developed into love though Carly still bemoaned the fact that she was a "cradle robber" though Nicolas was only a couple years younger than her.

As for Jason Morgan, Elizabeth mused as she twisted the ring on her engagement finger, he was doing just fine. Elizabeth had honestly never expected to fall in love with him. Okay, maybe she had been half in love with while living across the hall from him and him always being there for her. However she had been sixteen and he had been in a messy triangle between Robin and Carly so Elizabeth really didn't think she had a chance with him. She fell the rest of the way when he came back from a year vacation after the whole Michael debacle (a thing Carly still apologized for), and something shifted between them. She was no longer a teenager fumbling with her words around him, instead she was a woman with feelings.

Not to mention the animalistic side of her wanted to jump him the moment she saw him, and mark him as hers. Jason had fallen just as quickly for her, even admitting that he had feelings for her for quite awhile. He just didn't act on them because she had been too young, and not ready for that at the time. But now they had their timing completely right, and no matter what they would face the future together.

Speaking of facing things, Elizabeth raised her gaze to the man across from her. He leaned against the wall, his arms crossed over his broad chest and his brown eyes were narrowed. His pronounced brow was furrowed, and he had a cigar twisted between his lips. It wasn't lit because this was the medical wing, and judging from the scowl the redhead sent him when he had attempted to light it, it was against the rules.

As Elizabeth idly fiddled with her thumbs, she almost asked him what was up with sideburns, however she refrained because frankly he was intimidating. He was so intimidating that her animal side even cowered in the back of her mind. The two of them eyed each other up, trying to find some kind of footing in this awkward situation. Perhaps, Liz should go back and explain better.

She had received a letter from her mother. Yes, shocking she knew. What had shocked her even more was the contents of it, and Elizabeth was glad she did not give into the impulse to throw it away. Her mother informed Elizabeth of an affair she had several years back in Canada with a man named Logan, no last name known. The random stranger that her mother had slept with was her father. It explained quite a few things, like why she never really looked like her family. Why her mother always felt embarrassed by her, and why her father had basically ignored her existence. After much looking on Sonny's part, he had found a man that worked at a school. It wasn't any type of school either.

It was Xavier's School for the Gifted. A school for mutants. It has stunned her that such a place that existed, and when Elizabeth asked why Sonny thought this man was her father. He explained the man's mutation was quite similar to hers, and while a child did not always have a similar mutation to their parent, it was the best lead they had. The fact the man had been in Canada at the time, and vaguely recalled her mother just made it more of possibility.

So here, the pair of them sat. Elizabeth and Logan waited on the DNA test though truth was there was little doubt. Something inside of her acknowledged Logan as family, like a wolf recognizing a pack member. She had a feeling that he felt it, too. But she couldn't just go on a feeling, she needed physical proof because…she couldn't just go on a chance.

Logan felt awkward as hell. Him of all people had a kid. The universe had a sick sense of humor. He heaved a sigh, and pulled the cigar out of his mouth. He rolled it between his fingers, and eyed the young woman across from him. "So you're engaged," he commented, gruffly.

Elizabeth looked momentarily startled then nodded. "Yes," she replied, her voice holding a tone of surprise which sort of made Logan feel a bit like an ass. "His name is Jason Morgan."

Logan recalled that name. "Like the mobster that is always on the news for a new murder charge?" He asked, an eyebrow raised. Not exactly the kind of guy he thought she'd be into, but perhaps he shouldn't have judged her from appearance only.

"Alleged mobster," Elizabeth replied, smoothly. "He had never been charged with anything."

"I bet not," Logan said, noting how she had bristled at the perceived slight against her fiancé. She was no meek mouse, she had claws and was not afraid to use them. The sound of Jean's heels clicking across the floor brought them out of their conversation, and the both turned to face the redhead. She had a small smile on her face, and the papers in her hands. "So what's the verdict? Is the squirt my kid?"

"Squirt?" Elizabeth glared. "Is that an insult to my height?"

"You are pretty short."

"You're sideburns are ridiculous. I didn't say anything because I was trying to be polite."

"I don't believe you have a polite bone in your body, kid."

"Shows what you know."

"Do…you two want the results?" Jean smiled, amused at the back and forth banter between the pair.

"Yes, we do," Elizabeth said, her brows furrowed a bit concerned. "What does it say?"

Logan shifted, a bit more nervous than he would like to admit. For a long time he had spent lonely and wandering. It was only until he met the X-Men that he found a purpose and through that a family. But there was always a voice in the back of his mind, did he have a family out there he couldn't remember or didn't know about? If she turned out to be his daughter, he wasn't sure what he would do. She was an adult, did she really need a dad?

"It's a match," Jean told them. "There is a 99.9% match. You are Logan's daughter."

Elizabeth felt a gush of air rush through her. She looked back at Logan, a bit of nervousness flooding through her. Jean picked up on the vibes, and gave them another smile. "I'll just let you two…talk it out."

As the redhead walked away, Logan ran a hand down his face. He had a kid. Hell, he didn't feel like father material. What was he going to do with a kid who really didn't need him in her life?

"Okay…I think I should start since I was the one to search you out and everything," Elizabeth drew a deep breath and steeled her nerves. "Look, my family sucked. Big time, and when I found out I was a mutant, they pretended I didn't exist." Seeing his wince, she hurriedly added, "Not that I blame you. You didn't know I existed, so none of that is your fault. My point is…even before I found out I was a mutant, a lot of people abandoned me. Afterwards, even more turned their backs on me. I was lucky that I found other mutants who understood what I had went through, and they had my back.

"But I don't trust easily," she continued, with a firm expression. "I can't. My point is…I kind of want you in my life. I know that my sound weird considering we've only met two times, but there it is. I'm telling this because I don't want someone who is going to bail the first chance they get. I would have waste my entire life on people like that if I hadn't been a mutant, and they had shown me their true colors."

"Quite a speech," Logan commented.

"I know. I practiced," Elizabeth blushed.

Logan smirked ever so slightly. He understood where the kid was coming from, and the fact that her family had made her felt unwanted was like a stab in the gut to him. He took a little comfort in the fact that she had good friends to help her out, but instinctively he knew that it should have been him there. He cleared his throat, and rolled the tension out of his shoulders. "So, you're my kid," Logan stated, the words felt strange coming out of his mouth. "I can live with that."

Relief spread across Elizabeth's face, and she felt a bit of hope that she had been repressing rush through her.

"So…exactly what are you power?" Logan asked.

"Well, I heal really fast. Like super fast," Elizabeth divulged. "Oh, and these," she held out her hands, and flexed her fingers. Her claws slid forward, looking deadly and dangerous.

Logan's eyebrows shot upward. "You really are my kid," he murmured, surprised. "You know, I've just thought of a good bonding experience."

"Oh?" Elizabeth blinked.

"Ever heard of the Danger Room?"


END OF CHAPTER!

I will write a Holiday Sequel where we will get to see more Liason interaction, plus the X-Men Family meets Liz's family with the Brotherhood crashing the party.

Ah, I want it to go on and on! Sadly, this will stay a two-shot for right now. I may come back around to it, I might not. I have other scenarios in which Elizabeth discovers her powers and those will be separate one-shots. Anyways I hope you all enjoyed!

Rrs are appreciated!
