It took everything Shylow had not to be angry with Trinity when Max was leaving. Everyone was blaming the whole situation on her, except for Max. Shylow knew that Max was just as responsible but hated that she was facing no consequences in this.
It seemed as though Blake had already gotten over the whole situation since she was already talking to Trinity again, unlike the rest of the group. As Max's Godmother's car pulled away, Blake turned to the blonde whom she had been standing by. Blake knew that Max wasn't angry with the blonde girl, and she needed allies right now.
"Wanna go for a walk... the tension around here will kill a person…" Blake told her with a halfhearted chuckle.
Trinity laughed lightly and nodded, knowing that Blake would be the only person willing to hang out with her any time soon. They left campus and made it about two blocks away, when a figure came flying out of the tree's pinning Blake, face down to the ground.
"God dammit!" She shouted aggressively, "Let me guess, you're looking for Wolverine, well he's- Sabertooth?" She stopped, smelling the air around her.
The scent reminded her of Sabertooth but also of something else… something cleaner and very familiar. She managed to roll herself over when the person on top of her loosened their grip.
"Who are you?" The attacker asked looking down at her in equal confusion.
She was shocked when she saw him. He was a boy around her age, no older than eighteen anyway. He had many of the same facial features as her, same mouth, same nose, and even strikingly similar eyes. The only major difference was the light sandy hair on his head.
"I'm not Wolverine..." She said softly, the boy above her seeming more and more familiar as she looked at him.
"I'm not Sabertooth..." He told her standing up and backing a step away, "Sabertooth is my father..." He told her giving her a once over as she stood up.
She in return sized him up, seeing the familiar stance and wide set in his knuckles. Then looking at his face, it suddenly clicked with her why he had seemed so familiar to her.
"….Yuriko Misaki!" She said making the connection aloud.
Both the boy and Trinity looked confused.
"That's your mother's name... right?" Trinity said standing an equal distance away from the boy and her roommate.
"Your mother..." He said quietly looking from the blonde to the other again.
She nodded softly and clenched her fists, careful to leave her claws sheathed. She stared on at him knowing that what would happen next could go one of two ways for the two of them.
"And you're her son..." Blake said back in reply.
He nodded and Trinity looked at the two of them with ever growing pupils.
"I didn't know you have a brother!" Trinity said finally saying what no one else had the courage too.
Blake closed some of the distance between him and her before extending her hand.
"Blake..." She said softly, taking his hand and shaking lightly.
He still looked very confused but shook back anyway.
"Darius!" He told her, she smiled softly in return and turned to Trinity.
"I'll see you back at school!" Trinity told her walking back toward the school, she knew it wasn't her business, but she had to tell Logan what she had just witnessed.
Blake nodded and started to walk down the street, her brother walking alongside her silently.

Darius and Blake were sitting on the ground near the pond in Westchester city park. They had been sitting in silence for almost fifteen minutes before Blake finally spoke.
"Did she... did she keep you?" She asked him not looking over.
He shook his head and cracked his neck in a way that seemed to remind her of Sabertooth.
"Nope..." He told her calmly, looking in the same direction as her, "Where'd she stick you?" He asked her, turning to look at her.
"She left me with the Morlocks..." Blake replied clenching her fists at the thought of her mother, her stepmother, and the situation she had grown up in.
He looked at her confused.
"The who?" He asked her, making her gain a look of equal confusion.
"You aren't from around here, are you?" She asked him in response to which he shook his head.
"Ontario..." He told her, "She left me with two humans in Canada when I was six days old!" He said with a bitter undertone.
"What happened with them?" Blake asked knowing that the story didn't just end there.
"My whole life I would never have injuries... they would just magically disappear... then when I turned nine, I noticed that I could make my nails grow as long as I wanted them..." He started looking off in the distance, "Well we were robbed when I was thirteen... the mugger pulled his gun on my father and I jumped in the way of the bullet... I don't even know why really, something in my brain just said you will be fine he won't!" He continued gritting his teeth as he remembered the memory of the mugging that ruined his life.
"Your body rejected the bullet?" She asked him calmly.
He nodded and sighed loudly.
"When the bullet fell out of my skin, and I rose to my feet the mugger panicked and ran away!" He continued looking over to his younger sister, "My father couldn't believe what had happened… and my mother was… afraid; dad started paying for an apartment where I could stay and my mother wouldn't be so afraid all the time..." He looked over seeing her nod softly.
"He died three months ago... she came over to let me know that she wasn't going to pay for my place any more... She told me that they adopted me when my mother left me with them, saying my father was dangerous…" He told her to which she shook her head.
"Where have you been living?" She asked him, concern in her voice.
"Drifting..." He told her calmly standing up and stretching his limbs.
"Why don't you come to the Xavier Institute!" She offered him, joining him on her feet.
"Blake, that's probably not a good idea, I can't see Wolverine leaving me alone because of who my dad is..." He told her in response, "I've seen them fight and know it's not pretty!" He added calmly looking away.
She nodded and took his hand.
"Fine... what about the brotherhood, go with your dad..." she asked him, looking at him with worry lacing her voice.
"I don't agree with Magneto... Magneto's cause isn't mine!" He told her with sympathy.
"I'm going to find a place for you!" She noted firmly.
She looked at the ground then sighed when she knew what she had to do.
"What are you thinking?" He asked her, looking at her with caution.
She rolled her eyes at the ground then returned his gaze.
"Just... meet me back here in two hours!" she told him pulling him into her arms.
His eyes went wide before he wrapped his arms around her carefully. When she pulled away, he nodded to her, and they said goodbye.

When Blake made it back to the institute, she was ambushed by her friends who were all looking at her with wide eyes.
"Wolverine is looking for you and he is pissed!" Phoebe stated, looking at her friend with caution in her eyes.
Blake nodded, knowing what had happened to a tee. Trinity had told Wolverine about Darius.
Normally Blake would be all over Trinity for this, but she knew that her friend was just looking out for her... that and she was the only friend Trinity had left at the school so she needed someone with Max gone.
Blake made her way to the third floor sitting room Wolverine was standing by one of the fireplaces. When he smelled her scent, he turned on his heels.
"Are you alright..." He asked her gruffly, to which she nodded, "Sekler said that boy is Sabertooth's kid, you need to stay away from him!" He told her making her scowl.
"You have no idea what the hell you're talking about!" She told him softly, crossing her arms and gritting her teeth.
"What makes you think I don't... I know you're not dating the elf... is that kid your boyfriend!" He spoke in his usual way that made his questions not sound like questions.
"He's not my boyfriend, he's my brother!" She shouted at him not noticing his eyes change, "Mom abandoned him too, he understands how much I HATE her!" She was so angry with him that she was shaking.
"I'm going to go make a call and you aren't stopping me!" She shouted again tears hanging in the corners of her eyes.
She stormed off to the phone where she composed herself and dialed a number quickly. A moment passed before a voice came over the speaker.
"It's Blake Misaki... I need a favor..." She told the voice, listening to them respond.

It was three o'clock when Blake made it back to the park. Darius was standing near the lake staring down Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and a red head that Blake believed was Natasha Romanoff.
"Darius, this is Nick... You said Magneto's cause isn't your cause... Well, his is the next best thing!" She told her brother looking at him with a sympathetic face, "Nick this is Darius... You told me S.H.I.E.L.D. could use someone like me... I suppose my brother will work too!" She told them both with a smirk.
"Well, that was pitch enough for me!" Nick told her with a smirk making Maria scowl and Natasha look uncertain.
Blake looked over at Darius who smirked in response when he saw the look on Maria Hill's face.
"I'm in!" He told them shaking Director Fury's hand.
He turned and pulled his sister into his arms holding her tight for a moment.
"If you need me... you know where I'll be..." He told her as he pulled away, "And you..." He started speaking to someone who was standing in the background.
"You take care of my sister!" He finished getting a nod in response.
