Never, Always (X-Men Fanfiction)

Chapter 12

I was standing in front of Bobby's house, I was 6 years old. Bobby came outside, I heard Ronny trying to follow him but Bobby slammed the door before he could. Bobby saw me, ran over and said, "I'm gonna kill you!"

"Why would you do that?" I asked.

"Because I'm a bad boy!" He exclaimed.

"I don't believe that. I believe you're a good boy." I said as I took his hand.

"But I'm not! Mommy and Daddy always tell me what a bad boy I am." He said.

"Well, I'm not your Mommy or your Daddy. I'm Jojo." I said.

"Isn't that a boy's name?"

"It's short for Joelie. Jojo just sounds cuter." I replied.

"Oh, okay Jojo. I'm Bobby." He said.

"Let's be friends forever!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah! C'mon! It just rained and there's a big puddle at the end of the street! Race you!" Bobby said.

"Okay!" I said.

We took off down the street. Bobby won the race, but I was just behind him. He jumped in the puddle, and I freaked out because my mom didn't want me to get dirty before seeing Grandma and Grandpa.

The water stopped right before it hit me. It even stayed in droplet form.

"Whoa! That's so cool! Oh, hi Mrs. Nikolaidis!" Bobby said.

"Crap." I said.

"Joelie Alexandria Nikolaidis! What did I tell you about running off?" My mom asked.

"Sorry Mom." Is all I said.

"Bobby, look at me sweetheart, I'm sorry but Joelie has to go inside now." My mom put 2 fingers on her temple and Bobby went back inside. He didn't even say goodbye.

"Joelie, look at me love." She said.

Then I woke up.

"AHHH DON'T DO IT MOM!" I screamed, jolting up in bed.

"Whoa, are you okay Jo?" Bobby asked.

"Yeah, I think so. Jean read my mind right? Or was I dreaming about that?"

"She read your mind, but you blacked out. She said something about your memories being locked. She said it had something to do with me." He said.

"Yeah, it did. Let's go get Jean so that you can remember too." I said.

"Yeah, they're still talking by the fire." He said.

We walked out. I saw Mystique turn into Jean and slip into Logan's tent. Gross.

Jean was actually sitting by herself at the fire.

"Jean?"

"Jojo? Are you alright?" She asked.

"You saw all of it too?" I asked.

"Yes. I just experienced while you did. We have an emotional link apparently." She said.

"I'M STILL RIGHT HERE!" Bobby exclaimed.

"Sorry.. It's just, something like this doesn't usually happen." Jean said.

"I wouldn't know, but he needs to remember." I said, gesturing to Bobby.

"Remember what?" He asked.

"Me." Is all I could say.

"Why would I forget you?" He asked.

"You didn't mean too. You were actually forced too. Joelie's adoptive mother was a mutant. Pretty powerful telepath if she could lock memories. " Jean said. "Now come here and try to relax."

Bobby sat down and closed his eyes. A few minutes later, he stood up.

"Jojo... I'm so sorry. I didn't mean too, I-I-I liked you from the start. I didn't think anybody believed that I could be good. But you did. And you had your powers so early, I can't imagine what that must be like." Bobby said.

"It's okay Icee. My Mom was just protecting me." I said.

"A protective mother is a very hard opponent to beat. I should know." Jean mumbled.

"What?" I asked.

"Never mind. I have to get back to the ship and you two need to get back to bed." She said.

"Yes Jean. See you in the morning." Bobby and I said in unison.

We both retreated to the tent and instantly fell asleep.

Just another uneventful day among the X-Men.
