A/N: Thank you to BVG for the review!
Here's the next chapter.
Chapter Eight:
Elijah Howlett
"So your sister is the infamous Wild Thing?" Ellamae asked me.
I laughed and said, "Yes, but Mom put her reign of terror to a stop."
She smiled and said, "Ah've heard a lot of stories from my Mom about her."
"Is it true that your mom looks up to my dad as a dad?"
"Yes. That's why Evangeline and Ah call Logan Grandpa Logan, but we refuse to call Esmeralda Grandma."
"I'm sure she's thankful for that."
"Probably. Ah wonder if Dad and Grandpa Logan have gotten into a fight yet."
"Do they fight often?"
"Before Mom and Dad got married, they fought nearly everyday, according to Mom."
"Yep. That sounds about right."
"What do ya mean by that?" Ellamae asked me, curiously.
"Mom says that Dad's always starting a fight."
Evangeline LeBeau
Would everyone please come to the Danger Room? I heard Jean say in my head.
"Ah really hate it when you do that." I said, knowing she probably didn't hear me.
I walked down to the Danger Room along with all of the other mutants. I hated these meetings.
Once inside, Jean said, "Alright, since all of you know that mutants are being attacked across the world, we need to retaliate and fight back. Before we go out in the battlefield, there are many training exercises that need to be done. Logan and Esmeralda will be in charge of field training. Rogue and Remy will be in charge of combat. Scott and I will lead the Danger Room sessions. Storm will teach strategy. All of the other teachers will be teaching mutants how to properly use their powers. Any questions?"
A voice in the crowd groaned, "Why does Logan have to train us?"
Logan answered, "Because I don't give out mercy."
Professor Xavier spoke, "And I have called in mutants. Some of them you already know and some you don't. They will be arriving throughout the week."
Gavriila Prakenskii-Worthington
"Stefan? Adrian? Helena?" I questioned.
"Hello, sister." Stefan answered.
"I never did get to ask you what your powers were."
Stefan smiled and said, "I can raise and talk to the dead. Adrian can manipulate the shadows and use the shadows as a way to teleport. Helena has the ability to make people think they are in love and charms men."
"Wow. The four of us..."
"Could be unstoppable. That's why Professor got to us early. He didn't want Magneto to get ahold of us, for the X-Men would have no way on beating him."
I sat down on the floor and looked at my older siblings. They were older than me. We didn't live together in the States because they didn't want to leave the mansion. I wanted to live with Gwyndolyn.
"Does Magneto know your powers?" I asked.
"Not that we know of. If he has a telepath or a mutant who can sense mutations, then he will. Does he know yours?"
"I think so."
Elisabeth Howlett
I knew where to find him. He was either at Rogue's hip of he was on the roof of the mansion having a smoke. I checked with Rogue and he wasn't anywhere to be seen. I walked up the stairs to the top floor. I opened the door that lead to the deck on the roof and there he was.
"What can Gambit do for ya, Sauvage Chose?" (Translation: Wild Thing)
"I need something."
"And what would dat be?"
"A smoke."
Remy raised an eyebrow at me and asked, "You smoke? Does Logan know?"
"Yes and no."
"Gambit will give you one on one condition."
"What?"
"If Logan finds out, you don' tell him you got it from Gambit."
"Deal."
Esmeralda Howlett
It was raining outside, so naturally the training classes were cancelled. Logan and I were sitting in the lobby of the mansion when there was a thud at the door. It sounded as if someone had collapsed on the front step. Logan rushed to the door and opened it, wanting to see who or what it was. The door creaked open and on the front step, soaked to the bone from the rain was a body. Logan scooped up the person in his arms and carried him inside, shutting the door with his foot. I trailed behind Logan, curious to see who it was. Logan and I went to the elevator and went down to the med bay. I flung the door open and once Logan laid the person down, I threw a blanket on him.
"Ez, you have to remove the wet clothes." Logan stated.
"Of course."
With Logan's help, I removed the wet clothes and put a spare shirt and pants on him. At this point, Hank walked in.
He saw the unfamiliar person and asked, "Who do we have here?"
I answered, "We do not know. He arrived just a few minutes ago."
Hank looked at the boy. In the light, I was able to see that he was small, looked under fed, had jet black hair and probably didn't sleep much due to the bags under his eyes. He was also very pale.
"He probably has hypothermia and dehydration. His body probably went into an unconscious state to reserve the nutrients he has. Esmeralda, prepare him for an IV." Hank directed.
I followed Hank's orders while he prepped the boy.
"How long until he wakes up?" I questioned.
"A few hours. I will continue to watch over him and when he wakes up, I will let you know."
Anastasia Rasputin
"How are you feeling, Ivan?" I questioned my son.
"I'm feeling okay. I feel like myself again."
I smiled and said, "That's good. Is Rogue teaching you stuff?"
"Yes. She is teaching me how to utilize the powers I absorb."
I said, "I can't wait to see you use them."
"Will I ever be able to touch again?"
"Hank thinks you will be able to with time."
I held my son close, grateful that he would be okay.
Logan
"Logan, would you go let our first guest in?" Professor asked.
"Of course."
I walked to the front door and opened it.
"Jimmy? Is that you? My, my. Looking good. Slay any idiots lately?"
"Oh, God. Wade. You haven't changed a bit."
"Really? I've been trying to tell people that, but they disagree. Some say that I've gotten more annoying and-"
"Still as annoying as ever."
"So this is that safe haven for mutants? Not too shabby, if I do say so myself."
I wanted to rip my ears off.
"Wow. This is actually pretty awesome. Just like old times, eh?"
"No."
"And still a man of few words."
Esmeralda butted in and introduced, "Hello. You must be Deadpool. I'm Esmeralda Howlett, James' wife."
"You're Jimmy's wife? DAYUM! You looking fine girl. I could show you around, if you know what I mean."
I growled at Wade and he turned to look at me.
"What?"
"That's my wife. Now back the fuck off."
Selene Gallio
I stepped out of the taxi cab I was currently in and in front of a mansion. I knew this is where I was supposed to be just by the looks of the place. I received a call from Professor Charles Francis Xavier three days ago to help out in an upcoming battle. I was all for a fight. I smiled and walked through the front gate and knocked on the front door.
A young girl with brown hair and two white streaks in the front asked me, "Who are you?"
"My name is Selene Gallio. Professor Charles Francis Xavier called me three days ago, asking me to come here and help."
"Professor Charles Francis Xavier..." There was a moment's pause. "Oh! You mean Professor X. No one calls him by his full name. Come in."
She stepped to the side and let me in. The place had a lot of mutants. I knew this was going to be hard to not touch any of them.
"Oh good, Selene, you made it. Did you have a good flight?" the Professor asked me.
"Yes. It was quite interesting to see so many people in the same place at once."
"Shouldn't you be used to that?" the young girl asked me.
"How old do you think I am?"
"Ah dunno. Twenty? Thirty?"
I laughed and corrected, "I am over 17,000 years old." (A/N: According the Marvel Wiki Database.)
Elijah Howlett
"And that is the game room." Ellamae directed.
I peaked in and it was an elaborate game room. I was actually surprised.
"I think I'll like it here."
"Ah definitely do. Although, going to school sucks."
"Do you go to mutant school, or regular school?"
"Both."
"Oh God."
"Yer telling me."
"That's ridiculous."
"Ah know! Ah like school and all, but Ah get tired of it after awhile."
"I can understand that."
"Ya know, Ah like you, Elijah. There's not many people Ah like."
I smiled and said, "Well, then, I'm honored."
"As you should be."
"What's your powers?"
"Ah'd have to go outside to show you and it's kinda rainin' right now."
"Right. What about the Danger Room?"
"Hmm. Let's go talk to my mom, non?"
"Oui."
"What's yers?"
I activated my metal skin and said, "This is it physically. I have regenerative healing and enhanced senses as well."
"That's kinda cool, actually."
I made my metal skin retreat and followed Ellamae to her mother.
Anna-Marie LeBeau
"Yes, Ellamae?" I asked, knowing who was behind me before I even turned around.
"How did ya know it was me?"
"Because yer the only one who sneaks up on me and Swamp Rat is doing God knows what and Evangeline wouldn't be coming to see me."
"Right. Can Ah use the Danger Room to show Elijah my powers?"
"You do know that you can't use my powers without Evangeline, right?"
"Ah know. Ah was going to show him the card trick."
"Alright. Just don't take Evangeline with ya. Ah don't need Elijah knocked out."
"Thanks, Ma!"
"Yer welcome." I said back, ruffling her hair. I looked at Elijah and I knew the wheels were turning to try and figure out what just went on. I led the way to the Danger Room and typed in a code.
"Ellamae 101." I said and the Danger Room responded by bringing up a meadow that had no dangers.
Laura Kinney (X-23)
I perched in the trees, hidden from sight, to overlook everything at the mansion. I could see all the kids playing, the adults watching the kids or playing their own game. I caught a scent of something. It was a strange, foul odor. I sniffed the air and followed it by jumping tree branches.
A man who looked like he slept in a dumpster (smelled like it too) with dirty blonde hair, dog like features and disgusting fingernails was walking below. I stayed hidden. I knew who he was.
Victor Creed.
I shouted mentally so one of the three telepaths on site could hear me.
Victor Creed is here! Someone!
Laura, where are you? Jean asked me.
In the trees. He's headed to the mansion. Shit. He knows I'm here.
Jean Summers
In the trees. He's headed to the mansion. Shit. He knows I'm here.
Laura!
The telepathic conversation was cut short. I had to find Logan.
A man walked right through the front gate and was yelling. He caught everyone's attention.
"Where is she?! I know she's here!" the man yelled as he walked through the mansion's yard.
"Pardon me, but who are you looking for?"
A/N: Okay, so I will admit that I completely forgot about Gavriila's actual siblings (Yes, I know. I'm a horrible person.) And I also know that Selene is considered "bad" but she is very important later. Plus, a CLIFFHANGER! I'm addicted to those XD
And there may be a delay here and there with my postings. Someone I consider a brother has cancer and it's not looking too good. I'm supporting him through it. Hopefully it turns around. I'll try to post chapters when I can. Promise. Love y'all.
