Chapter 7- Miranda
The last of them, my adopted children of Xavier's. The youngest and the most innocent one out of the entire group. And quite possibly the smartest out of the rest. Miranda has never given me any trouble, but always follows whatever order she is given. She's more of a follower than a leader. I still worry that Xavier wouls somehow find them and take all of her children away from her. Even though Alex was her only real blood child, she had already bonded with some of them not wanting to lose them.
The room Miranda was in was pink, with matching bedding and a matching colored frock that she wore. Her hair down from her usual ponytail and just being held out of her eyes by a pink satin headband. She started to move alittle and eventually woke to find a woman sitting next to her. "Who are you?" Miranda asked.
"Your mother. Don't worry if you don't remember there was an accident and everything's going to be fine."
"Okay."
"Don't worry yourself Miranda."
"Okay mother."

Jessica got up from her bed to find something to drink. She passed all of the rooms that each read one of her brothers or sisters names. The last one said "Miranda". There was something unsettling about the last one. She frooze when she felt a funny feeling in her head. She grabbed her head as pain and misery overwealmed her senses making her scream before falling to the floor and convulsing.
Her mother ran out the door with Miranda following and found Jessica convulsing on the floor at their feet. Immediately all of the other doors opened to see the same site. "No!" mother yelled. "This isn't happening! It can't be happening!" She looked up at all the horrified faces of her "children" and then changed from mother to Mystique, which scared all of the children. "Quickly everyone in the van!" she yelled to them. The kids quickly piled in with Mystique setting her Jessica in and then driving strait to the place she hoped she'd never see again.
Xavier's Institute was Jessica's only hope. If she took her to a hospital they wouldn't understand how to treat her and possibly refuse treatment. She made a trip that usually took twenty minutes in seven minutes. She drove through the front, luckily the gates opened automatically. Xavier, Logan, and Ororo were waiting when Mystique drove up and quickly opened the passenger door to reveal the missing children.
"She's hurt I don't know what from though," she explained, but Logan just picked her up and quickly went into the Institute with the others following behind him.
"What have you done?" Xavier asked.
"I wanted to be a mother," she said simply.
"They don't reconize us," Ororo told Xavier.
"I noticed. It will wear off soon. The house will bring their memories to the surface."

Two hours passed, all of the kids had gotten their memories back, but where waiting to still know how Jean Grey was. The kids had been so angry when they realized they had been brainwashed. Mystique only stayed to see how Jessica or Jean was doing.
"She's going to be fine," Ororo came out and told them.
Sighs of relief were released throughout the room and then Mystique left without a word. The children she had were gone and the last one that she thought she had lost was going to be okay. What else could she do?
