Star City Mutants

Friends and Family

Quentin paced by the telephone. Joe made a small laughing noise. "Think this is funny? Our baby girls could be out there in a ditch or they were kidnapped or they got lost. I'm just glad Barry and Iris stayed in tonight" Quentin said with a snarl. "Calm down Quentin, the girls are fine and of course I'm worried but that's no reason to have a heart attack. Plus you're the captain of the police department, you would be the first to know if something happened" Joe said soothingly wrapping his arms around Quentin.

"You're right Joe, I'm just nervous with Laurel turning sixteen and all" Quentin said looking at the pictures of the kids when they were younger. "I don't like it either but we can't cage her indoors" Joe said as they heard Laurels car pull up. Quentin ran and phased right through the front door. Joe laughed. It was funny whenever Quentin got worried he allowed his powers to come out and didn't care if anyone saw.

Joe focused on the car and growled softly or wanting to wake Iris and Barry. He hated Logan and here he was. Pulling up in a car that had his daughters in it. Joe was just calming down as Quentin ushered Laurel and Sara in and then showed in Logan and Kurt like they were life long friend's. Joe didn't mind Kurt. He was a good guy but Logan was another story. Joe smiled as he noticed Sara grasping Laura's hand though.

Laurel rushed over to her dad and hugged him. He held her close. The appearance of Logan and Kurt could only mean one thing and he didn't like it. He looked down at his growing daughter. Her skin was a light brown and her hair a deep black. Sara had the same skin tone but bright blonde hair. Barry was pasty white, something he didn't understand and Iris was dark like him but damn if she didn't have her mother's beautiful eyes. That was the first thing he fell in love with when he met Quentin, his eyes and his cooking.

Joe released Laurel and saw the necklace and panic set in deeper. "Damn the signs are coming together too quickly" he said to himself. Laurel looked at him "something wrong daddy?" She asked worried. He shook his head. "Nothing at all now that your home" he said smiling.

"Why don't you take Sara and her friend and head upstairs and we will bring up some snacks, I doubt you want to hang around with us adults" Joe said smiling. Laurel knew something was up but nodded and grabbed Sara's arm and dragged her and Laura upstairs.

Joe sat on the couch and Quentin sat next to him. "Kurt, It's safe to take the cloak off" Quentin said softly. "What if your children come downstairs?" Kurt asked in his hot accent. Quentin tried to stifle a moan but failed miserably and everyone including Joe laughed. "Don't worry, they will stay upstairs as soon as I bring up the snacks" Quentin said blushing. Kurt nodded and took the cloak off. His beautiful blue skin and his tail were always a site to see not to mention his perfect jet black hair.

Joe smiled as he felt Quentin's body temperature rise. Kurt pushed Logan into a chair and sat on his lap causing both Quentin and Joe to laugh and Logan to let out a low groan. "Magneto and The White Bitch were after your kids" Logan growled. quentin and Joe sat up. "What do they want with the girls?" Quentin asked nervously. "I don't know if you've noticed but I believe Laurels mutant abilities are taking shape" Kurt said playing with a strand of Logan's hair, his own weird calming mechanism. "Oh god I was afraid of this" Quentin said feeling queasy. He actually had hoped that they wouldn't have powers but that hope just flew out of the window.

Joe got everyone a beer except for Kurt who just asked for water and they were about to take a drink when they heard a bunch of cars pull into the driveway. Joe opened his mind and saw Charles Xavier from the Xavier academy, Mary Xavier from the the Refuge, as well as a van S.H.I.E.L.D and ARGUS.

They all converged at once and were at a stand still with each other well atleast SHIELD and ARGUS were keeping an eye on Charles and Mary. They hated mutants and they were standing in front of the two most powerful mutants in the world. All Joe knew and cared about was keeping his family safe so he put a forcefield around the house and waited for the kids to come running down.

3,2, and 1 the footsteps came quick and loud. He took a deep breath, stood and told everyone to sit down. "I am about to tell you why there are people in a standoff in our front yard. So silence until I am done" Joe said with authority. The kids nod and Joe starts.

Agent coulson stepped out with Agent Fury. They went and helped Amanda Weller out of The ARGUS van and stood buy as Harley Quinn, The Joker, Poison Ivy, Batman and Deathstroke stepped out of the van. "You know my suicide squad and batman is here because he keeps Joker sane and plus they've stroked up a relationship" Amanda said smiling at Fury and Coulson. They nod and focus their attention on the two mutants in front of them.

"That's a lot of firepower for a scared child isn't it?" Charles asks calmly. "Who knows what she is capable of" Amanda says scowling. "She is a scared sixteen year old who doesn't even know what's going on and to make things worse is being tracked by The Brotherhood" Mary says trying to remain calm as well. Amanda rolls her eyes. "That's just what you always do isn't it, play the victim" Fury says. Mary and Charles shake their heads. "We are just protecting the girl" Charles says.

Fury, Coulson and Weller start moving towards them with the Suicide Squad right behind and there was a flash of light and they were all gone except for Mary and Charles. "They will be back, we have to get the family moved quickly" Mary says and they head for the front door.
