Super Flower

Chapter Seven

Once back on the helicarrier, Natasha and Lily helped Steve get to the hospital wing. Then they went to the main room where the other Avengers were waiting. The sixteen year old went straight to Tony and punched him hard in the nose.

"Whoa!" Bucky and Bruce exclaimed, running to hold Lily back.

Tony's nose had started to bleed. He held it with his hands.

"What the hell was that about?!" Bucky asked.

"He fucking lied to me!" She yelled, trying to get another swing in.

"What are you talking about?" Tony asked, backing away.

"My father."

Bruce and Bucky immediately let go of her.

"H-How did you find out about that?"

"We ran into him today. You told me he was dead. I didn't even recognize him. How does someone not recognize their own dad?!" Her fists were clenched.

"I was trying to protect you! You were five years old and scared out of your mind! Do you think you would have turned out less fucked up if I told you he had just given you up?!"

"She would have been fine. She would have known that he did it to protect her!" Natasha yelled. "You are what destroyed her. I don't blame her for being pissed off at you."

"You aren't my dad. He is. He loves me. All you see me as is a lab rat made to do your bidding. But not anymore." She left the room, walking towards the main hangar. She was soon met up by Bucky.

"You aren't going alone. I promised to always take care of you."

She nodded and together they borrowed a helicopter. They took it down near the forest that Lily, Natasha and Steve had just been. They saw a large mansion not that far away. They landed in the open field nearby. As they began to walk towards the house, several people came to meet them. In front was Logan.

The father and daughter hugged, then he shook the other man's hand.

"Thank you for taking care of her all these years."

"Of course, sir."

He turned to his daughter once more. "I don't know how much you'll remember everyone, but they all wanted to see you." He smiled and turned to his entourage.

"First is Rogue." He motioned towards the girl from earlier with the white streak. "You and her were best friends." They hugged.

Next was a red haired woman whose name was Gene, and her husband Scott. Lily didn't remember them at all. The last one to come out was in a wheelchair. He was Professor Charles Xavier.

"I remember you! You used to pull me into your lap whenever I caused mischief." She laughed, which made the older man chuckle.

"That I did."

"Would you like to come in and see the rest of the school?"

"School?" Lily was confused.

"Professor Xavier's School for the Gifted Youngsters." He smiled. "Fancy way of saying safe place for mutants."

"I'd love to see the rest of it." She beamed.

Once she had met everyone and anyone within the school, Logan led Lily to his own room so that they could talk privately. Rogue took Bucky to show him around.

"How have you been, my flower?"

"I've been well. I've learned a lot with the Avengers."

"That's good to hear." He smiled. He took her hands in his own. "It is so good to see you."

"It's good to see you too, Dad." She looked at him, then down at her hands.

"What's wrong?"

"Am I a mutant?" She asked, looking up at him. She needed to know. It would explain so much.

"Do you have any powers?" She nodded.

"Like what?"

"I can heal most wounds, unless the person is already dead. I can breathe through most toxins. I have super speed and strength. And there have been some instances where I have been able to float. Not fly, but float. I'm still working on that one."

She looked at her father and found him in a state of shock.

"Holy shit." He breathed.

"What? Is that bad?"

"That's amazing! How did you get all these powers?"

"I don't know. They just appeared suddenly at times, you know?"

"We should talk to the professor." He got up suddenly, making Lily uneasy.

"What? Why?"

"He'll know what to do. Come on." He offered his hand.

"Dad, there's only a select number of people on this world that know I have powers. I don't want it to get out."

"Honey." He kneeled in front of her.

"Professor Xavier would have known you had powers since the day you were born. He has this thing called cerebrum where he can sense all mutants and what they are doing."

She bit her lip.

"Okay. If you trust him, I trust him."
