Things were very quiet within the courtyard of Genosha for several moments and everything seemed frozen due to a time freeze spell in the general area of the yard to keep things private talk. Raven was seen sitting on a bench and was uneasy which was reasonable for what she was going to tell Stolas & someone else for the said tour in Genosha. Now revealing the first part which shocked and now the rest it seems.
"I guess I should start at the beginning and the connection as well. It started when I went to Germany and took the appearance of well wealthy woman to capture the attention of a young prince of two nice nobles Lord Wagner & Lady Sigrid," Raven started as she shifted into the form of the woman she took those years ago.
"I remember that...it took you a while to able to convince my parents to even see me due to my unique looks," Stolas remembered how he was surprised that his parents would allow Raven or anyone to see him but can recall how the pair were surprised to see the other's true appearance in a way.
"Heheh, it did but they were nice people, and how happy they were when they discovered you talking with someone outside of the family," Raven smiled, remembering that as she took back her original form.
"They were proud and nice people. My parents and my siblings young & old supported me from my unique mutation. I still think back then, you could have shown your true form," Stolas said, recalling how he wanted the shapeshifter to reveal herself to his family but the pair agreed it would be the best until later.
"It won't help...you know that I wasn't welcome around, Stolas," Raven stated the cruel fact and reasonable sometimes but not too Stolas.
"Not how I show it during that time of the moon under the stars," Stolas smirked, recalling such a romantic moment the pair shared, and walked closer to the bench Raven was sitting on.
"Ah yes, that one. I had to force you out of the comfort of your home and out on those dates, able to see what the world was like a little. That walk during the night when no one was around that could see us...I revealed my true form before the full moon. Do you remember what you said to me, Stolas?" Raven asked, looking at her lover who sat next to her and held her hands into his hand.
"I do...A goddess of the night and how that night changed our lives," Stolas replied, recalling that first time they had been underneath the night sky and full moon which ironically led to a certain someone ending up having dark blue skin like the night sky.
"Please, I don't need to know every detail," That third person spoke, showing that he was a young man with a unique almost demonic appearance from his dark blue skin, blue hair, yellow eyes, pointed ears like an elf, long demonic tail, three fingers, and on his feet as well.
His attire was a black suit with demonic red in the middle that goes to his back, white gloves on his head & feet with red outlines, and some can mistake he was a demon but has a heart of kindness and an angel.

This was Kurt Wagner - Nightcrawler, a member of the X-Men and happened to be the one that was doing the tour for Genosha...just happens to be the son of Stolas & Raven.
It was pretty shocking and hence why this reveal was taking place after the tour. Raven doesn't reveal anything at first and allows Stolas to talk with Kurt to see a good bond building before the reveal of origins takes place now. The crimson-haired woman saw it was the best time to finally reveal the origin to her son and know his father...his true father.
"It's nice to know how you two met...but what happened afterward? From what mother told me, that she left me in a river," Kurt informed, wanting to know more.
"What!? Raven, I didn't know you were willing to pull off what Karna's mother did to him," Stolas said in complet surprise by that.
"First off, both of my parents similarly left me as Semiramis and was raised by an actor/business agent. Don't ask which, she was pretty much crazy and into mythology. Second, both of you just let me explain how it led to those events and the lie that was in place," Raven pointed out.
"It started with how I told you, Stolas, that I was pregnant and had your child... your reaction, heheh. You almost turned to stone when I told you the news and became more protective over me," Raven said, recalling how the owl mutant became protective towards her and couldn't wait to be a father.
"That I did...it was the most wonderful moment in my life," Stolas smiled lightly, remembering that day like it was yesterday to him.
"Same here...," Raven said, nearly having a tear down her eyes and surprised Kurt more when Stolas cleaned that up with his talon fingers.
"Then came Irene telling Erik and myself of a terrible vision of what Azazel could have done to the earth by his own hands. However, to avoid that vision, as if he had a child or at least thought he had one...a big regret from that red-skinned fool. Erik decied to take a different approach and used experiments to make Kurt look like Azazel to hide who the real father was," Raven said with a deep sigh that spoke volumes of the pain, regret, and sadness down with anger for Erik for a good awhile.
Stolas and Kurt remain silent, seeing that Raven has more to say.
"I didn't tell you, Stolas as Azazel had eyes on you and your family....he threatened to remove them with his hands & blades into hell. To avoid that, I had to lie to you that I lost our child at birth and sent Kurt to the river to avoid being hunted, resulting in him being found by traveling performers," Raven said as tears came down her face, something she couldn't hold back and soon brought into a hug from Stolas to comfort & calm her down.
Stolas hugged Raven and remained quiet which slowly yet hesitated Kurt hugged his parents. His parents...at long least he knows the truth and reason. He would pray to god to seek forgiveness and ask god to forgive his mother for protecting him greatly. He can't also be angry with his parents. His father didn't know and from the looks of it, he would be glad to raise him. His mother, there would be some time for that but a good slow start on the road of fixing their relationship, and could see that it was a good start.
Even in darkness, there's always hope...even for this strange yet new family to come.
