The Animals' Daughters

Chapter 1 Alex

*Alex's POV*

I have spent the past month walking and hitchhiking but I finally made it back. New Orleans. Not much has changed since I left. I walk down the street to see Johnny's Tattoos in same place. I walk in to see it empty. That's a first. I see Johnny sitting behind the counter drawing what looks like dragon.
"Hey Hot Head." I say. I knew he would remember me because I'm the one who first called him that since his mutant power is to control fire. He looked up at me.
"Alex?" He asks giving me a questioning look. I nod my head and he smiles. Next thing I now I'm in a bone crushing hug. He lefts go and slaps the back of head.
"Ow! Whatcha do that for?" I ask.
"For leaving!! Remy and I have been worried sick! It's been two years and not so much as a single phone call! We thought you were dead! Where the hell have you been?" He yells at me.
"Look I'm far from dead and I couldn't call because I've been locked up. It's a long story so don't ask but I've been in Canada for the past two years. I'm kinda on the run from the guys who took me so I need a little help with changing my look." I explain. He nods his head and points to the chair where he does piercings. He knew exactly what I was talking about. When I was 13 I used to beg him for shark bites (4 lip rings) and a nose ring. He told me he would give them to me when I was 16 and I'm 16. But I'm never going to be able to take them out. When I got my mutant powers (bone claws out of my fingernails) I also got regenerative healing. If I take them out the holes will immediately close. I sit down and he gets the needle and rings. I already picked the ones I wanted.
I'm standing in the mirror staring at my piercings. I love them!!!
"Thanks Johnny." I give him a hug.
"No problem kid." He looks down and notices my dog tags. As much as I hate what those guys did to me, I have to admit the dog tags look cool.
"Where did you get those?" He asked getting mad.
"The guys who took me gave em to me. Why?"
"Because the guys who took me and Remy wore some just like em." Shit.
"Johnny sit down. I need to tell you something." As soon as he sits down someone walks in. Remy. He looks at me and then at Johnny. Johnny nods his head as if he knows what Remy is about to ask.
"Hey, Gambit." I say smiling. He hugs me tighter than Johnny did. God I missed these guys. They are the only family I have. He let's go and starts yelling.
"Alex Creed where the hell have you been?!" I roll my eyes. He hates it when I do that.
"Sit down and I'll explain." He sits down and I take a deep breath.
"Ok. You both are familiar with Stryker, right? Well two years ago he came down here to find me. He did. So he took me to this base up in Canada. There he told me about my father and said that he was the reason I was there. He said that since my dad wouldn't work for him, I was. He did all kinds of experiments on me trying to combine multiple mutant powers into one person and well it worked. He gave me a new name and made me go on missions for him. Until about a month ago I escaped and well now I'm here." I explain to them. Johnny is fuming and I mean literally. Smoke is coming of his hands and Remy looks like he is about to kill someone.
"Those bastards!" Remy mumbles. Johnny takes a deep breath and tries to calm down.
"The important thing is your here now. We're not gonna let them get you. I'm gonna call Nikki and have her bring her some clothes. After that we can all go to Mardi Gra." Johnny says. He picks up the phone and calls his little sister. I find it funny how he controls fire and his sister, Nikki, controls ice.
10 minutes later Nikki walks in and hands me some clothes. I thank her and go get dressed. After I'm dressed I couldn't believe what she gave me. I'm wearing a low cut dark green tank top that barely covers my boobs and a pair of tight skinny jeans that show off my curves. I roll my eyes and put my combat boots and dog tags back on. Nikki comes in with a makeup bag in her hands. Oh no!
"Sit down sweetheart so I can finish making you look hot." She says pushing me into a chair. I laugh and shake my head. I know better than to try and argue with her so I left her do what she wants. She straightens my dark brown hair that reaches just above my ass and puts makeup on me. When she gets done I hardly recognize myself. Ok she was right. I look hot. We walk out of the back I could tell the boys didn't approve. Oh well. We walked outside and Johnny locked the door. We walked down the street and looked at all the cool costumes and decorations. God I missed this. We kept walking until a guy in a wheel chair and a guy in weird glasses stopped us.
"Excuse us, but we are looking for a Miss Alex Creed. Do you know her?" Wheels asked. I looked at the guys and then back down at him.
"I'm Alex. Who are you and what do want?" I ask. I cross my arms to hide my metal claws coming out of my fingernails.
"My name is Charles Xavier and this is Scott Summers. We are here to talk to you about your abilities."
