The Gifted -Fanfiction

Marcos

~arrived in Bogota~

We finally arrive in Bogotá, my hometown. Everyone piles out of the truck and follow me to the house where I lived in. Lorna stands beside me and looks around. The kitchen is dusty, probably since Dad struck jackpot and brought Gianna with him to Madrid. I walk to the dining room with everyone and I see...

"Dad," he's wearing a suit and another man stands by him. Dad looks at me and motions for me to sit. I listen.

"Marcos, my failure of a son," he greets. I grind my teeth. "Did you bring my hija?" he asks.

"No, she stays safe, away from you," I hiss. 

"I only want to see my hija, what's wrong with that?"

"You know what's wrong, Dad," I lean forward. "How did you do it, Dad?"

"Do what?"

"Get the money,"

"I run a cartel, Marcos. A drug cartel," Dad leans back in his chair.

"Why are you here, Dad?"

"I told you-," 

"The real reason. You may want Gianna, but for what?" Dad seethes with anger but keeps himself composed.

"My cartel now recruits mutants, Marcos. The mutants are powerful. They can protect Gianna, I can protect Gianna," I shake my head.

"She can protect herself,"

"She is a fragile, innocent child,"

"No, she's a...Wait, you don't know," I muse.

"Know what?"

"She's a mutant," I tell him and his eyes widen.

"Impossible," he whispers. "She never told me. She just...ran away one night," Dad looks genuinely puzzled. Then, he looks up at me. "Tell me, what are her powers?"

"She can create and control ice," 

"Fascinating," he then looks at the other mutants. "I'm flattered, Marcos. You brought so many Mutantes to see me," he stands up. "But I'm afraid I cannot entertain you, you may leave. Oh, and please give my Gianna my regards." he brushes off his suit and turns to leave.

"Wait, that's it?" I ask, bewildered.

"Yes, now go, I will call for you when I need you," Dad waves me off and leaves. Lorna looks at me. 

"What do we do, Marcos?" she asks.

"I...we have to leave. There's nothing else to do," he says, grim. "Clarice, can you open a portal back?" he turns to her and she nods.

We all pile into the truck and Clarice opens a portal.

We're going home.
