“Where are we? What is this place?” I asked Logan as we entered a gate to a fancy looking mansion

“Its a school for mutants.” he replied driving through

“Ok, why are we here then” I questioned

“We are here because I got a call from a friend and I thought I’d bring you along.” he answered before turning his head to look at me with a sly smirk on his lips.

“Ah how sweet” I said in a tone that probably annoyed him.

Once Logan parked we both got out of the car. We went inside the building and I have never seen so many mutants all in one place before. I moved my sunglasses to the top of my head.

“Logan, long time” some redheaded women said walking up to Logan

“Yeah long time” Logan said with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips

“Scott” he nodded to the guy who came up next to the lady with red hair, and put an arm around her waist.

“Logan” the man replied

“Logan, who’s this?” the women who I guess names Jean asked nodding over to me

“This is y/n.” he said nodding over to me at his side “she's a mutant. . . Anyway we’re here to see the Professor he wanted to see me.”

They lead us to what I assume is this Professor guys office. Once in there they shut the door behind us. There were a couple of other people in the room.

“Ah Logan, glad you could make it.” a man in a wheelchair said coming out from behind his desk. I’m guessing this is the Professor

“What's he doing here?” Logan pointed at the man standing next to the Professor

“Erik is here because we have a problem that might require his help.” the Professor replied. Erik as in Magneto. My brother use to say something about him.

“No need to worry Logan” a lady with short white hair said, I believe her name is Storm. Logan described her once.

“And who’s your friend?” Magneto spoke gesturing to me.

“y/n” I said looking between the two older men

“y/n what?” the Professor asks

“Not important” I replied. At my answer everyone looked intrigued.

 Except Scott he just rolled his eyes probably thinking ‘great a mini Logan’.

“Logan said your a mutation?” Jean asked more liked a statement

“Yeah” I confirmed

“So what can you do?” the Professor asked leaning back in his chair a little.

‘You can read minds, I figure you already know’ I thought knowing since I directed it towards him he would hear it.

“I would rather not have to go into your head to find out.” replied out loud. I bit my lip smiling of course.

“Go on bub, show ‘em.” Logan said putting his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it a little for reassurance.

“I have more than one mutation. I have 3 to be exact.” I told them taking a breath before saying the last part. I nodded to Logan and he removed his hand. As me and Logan headed outside by the lake.Everyone that was in the room was now outside.

“One of them is elemental” I said before making the water move around us “water” once the water was put back I moved on to the next. 

I pulled my right forearm up and as I put it back down fast and it turned into “Ice”. Then I did the same with my left arm and “Fire”.I flicked both really fast and my arms were back to normal.

“I could also mess with earth but I think you have enough trees” I said to the Professor smirking as he chuckled

“My second Isn’t one you can exactly show like the last one.” I took  a deep breath “Logan, wanna help?”

“You know, I don’t like this” he said walking over to me. We turned so they could see

“I know” I said giving him a reassuring look.With that Logan took his claws out and plunged them into my gut. 

Once he took them out. I turned to look out at them. They all looked shocked at what I had Logan do but that went away when they saw me heal.

“I can heal like Logan. I also age really slowly. After I turned 18 I started to age very slowly, before that I aged normal.”Looking around I could tell they were processing it.

“Wait, sweetheart you said you had 3. What's the third?” Storm asked 

I looked at Logan, he knew instantly why. I haven’t felt comfortable just showing people my third power. Its the same one my twin brother had.I opened and closed my mouth a couple times.

”I don't feel comfortable showing it to just anybody.”

“Why's that?” Erik asked tilting his head to the side a little

“My twin brother. He-uh he had the same power. After he died in a battle, the only battle that I didn't follow him into, and he-uh-he . . . died. Ever since then I don't really like showing it off. I use it when needed and I use it for what him and I use to do. Not all of it legal. But I don’t use it just to use it anymore.” I told them. Wrapping my arms around myself.

Storm walked over to me. She has a soft smile on her face.“You don’t have to hide here. You can be yourself. We won’t judge you, and you don’t have to do anything your not comfortable with. But we would like to see all of what you can do. Also see what you share with your brother. Who you obviously cared a lot about.” Storm said in a soft tone of voice. Rubbing my shoulders. 

No one had been like this towards me in ages. To be honest I really missed it and I was really liking it to.Out of the corner of my eye I could see Logan give her a thankful look. He knew that I had a hard time without my brother, and seeing how what Storm said helped me and how she acted towards me made me relax. It made him think that maybe they should stay awhile.

“Ok” I nodded I looked over towards the mansion at a balcony.

“You might want to let go” Logan said gesturing to Storms hands that were still on my shoulders.

Once she did I smiled at all of them before tilting my head before putting on my sunglasses with that I was off. Less than a second later I was on the balcony. Leaning against the railing.

They were looking around for me. Logan pointed to the house. Once they looked over I waved before smirking.

After that I went back over to them. All there heads turned really fast when they noticed I was once again in front of them.

“My brother, uh most of you knew him I think. You’ve actually met me before to.”

“y/n. As in y/n Maximoff.” Professor stated but it came out sounding like a question.

“Yep” I said popping the ‘p’

“You haven’t aged much. I guess it is really slow.” he chuckled

^    ^    ^ 

We decided to stay at the mansion for awhile.After dinner I headed off with Storm since she was the one that volunteered to show me my room I’ll be staying in for awhile.At dinner it was a little strange a couple people were being off.

Storm was asking me about my family.

The Professor looked like he was deep in thought.

And Erik a.k.a Magneto looked like he was thinking to.

After dinner was over Logan said goodnight to me and him, Charles and Erik headed to Charles’ office.

^     ^    ^ 

3rd P.O.V

“Peter an Y/n are twins?” Erik questioned as they walked into the room.

“Yeah” Logan said with a sigh

“Meaning your her dad Erik.” Charles said to Erik

“Yeah . . . Peter never told me I was his father, but I had my suspicions.” Magneto said sitting down in a chair that is next to Charles and facing Logan.

“You should talk to her” Charles purposed

“I don’t think that's a good idea.” Logan spoke up

“Why’s that?” Charles asked Logan leaning forward

“I don’t think she knows. Or that he ever told her.”

“Why do you think that, Logan?”

“We’ve been traveling together for years now and she's never said anything to hint it. As far as she’s said, she thinks she has no blood family alive.” Logan explained

“Then what do we do?” Charles asked looking between the two men

“Maybe you should just tell her. Rip off the band-aid and hope she reacts well.” Logan replied after some long silence . He does know y/n and its how he would do it.

“You think that’s the best way?” Erik asks wolverine

“I do - but catch her in a happy calm mood, tomorrow.” Logan advised before heading out to go to bed.

^     ^     ^

 It is the next day and y/n was sitting on a bench next to her the water moving around.

“Good luck bub” Logan said to Erik before heading inside to help Storm and Scott. 

Erik headed over to y/n.

“Can I sit?” Erik asked y/n pointing at the bench

“Yeah” she replied scooting over to make room for him on the bench since she was sitting in the middle of the bench.

“You are very gifted y/n.” he said after some moments of silence.

“Is this the part where you tell me I should honor my gifts and use them more?” y/n asked but said in a joking tone.

“No, you should but no that’s not what I wanted to talk to you about.” he answered

“Then what did you want to talk about?” she asked this time curiously

“Your brother. Did he ever tell you about me?” he asked her trying to figure out if she might already know.

She shook her head “No. Why?”

“Your brother found out from your mother after he broke me out of the pentagon. She told him that it was his decision weather or when he wanted to tell you or not. He never got the chance to and I’m sorry that he didn’t get to be the one to tell you-”

“Tell me what?” y/n asked. She was getting a little scared. Why we he talking about her brother and mom? Was this the thing that her brother tried to tell her many times?

“Logan said that you think you don’t have any blood family alive left.” he stated

“Yeah” she nodded stretching the word out

“You do, have blood family left. . . I’m your father sweetheart.” Erik told her. He could see her connecting the dots in her head. 

Her brother’s weird behavior towards anything about the famous Magneto.

“I think he tried to tell me before. Many times actually.” She said chuckling

“Are you ok? Knowing this, is it ok?” he asked hopping the answer is yes.

“Its weird. I thought I was alone. I thought I would never get to know what Peter wanted to tell me.”  y/n told him, looking him in the eyes

“So what do you want to do with this new found information?” Erik asked. He wanted a relationship with his daughter, one he didn’t get to have with Nina or Peter. But if she wasn’t comfortable with it then he would try his hardest to respect her wishes.

“Maybe stick around for awhile. Get to know you. You get to know me. Bond. If thats ok?” she asked looking nervously at him. Like he was gonna say no to all she just asked.

“I would want nothing less. Maybe more in the future. But right now I would love it if you just stuck around and we get to know each other.” he stated before pulling her close, into a hug.

Hopefully this is the start of what could become a great father daughter relationship. Both Erik and y/n wanted that more than anything.Logan had feeling that they would be staying longer than a few days. And Charles looked out the window he was happy that Erik might finally get to have his own family and someone to love and protect.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Derek I have to go” I giggled trying to escape his vice grip.

“No, stay” he pleaded

“I have to go to work. I need to got to work if I don’t I won’t be able to pay my rent.” I sat up searching around the room for my clothes

“Stay. You should just move in here. No rent to pay I own the building. Stay with me 24/7.” he said looking over at me.

“Ha ha very funny. Where's my shirt?” I spoke with sarcasm thinking he was joking

“I’m serious. Move in with me” he grabbed at my bicep turning me to look at him. He looked serious

“Seriously? You want to be around me all the time?” I asked in disbelief

“I love you, of course.” he answered looking at me like I was crazy thinking otherwise

“You sure? Around me 24/7.I don’t want to annoy you” I looked at him nervously hoping he was telling the truth

“You are never annoying to me”

“Ya sure?” I asked quirking an eyebrow

“Yes, I’m sure”

“I should pay you rent for staying here-” I stumbled out

“No. That’s the point. You move in less working, no paying rent.” he chuckled

“I should at least help with bills” I told him not wanting to be a freeloader

“If I say yes will you stop trying to pay rent?” he asked smiling

I nodded.I couldn’t in good conscience not pay anything.I could see this meant something to Derek.

“Ok then you can help with bills.” he laughed, with a big goofy smile on his face

“Ok” I replied

“Ok? Your gonna move in, ok?” he asked with a hint of excitement in his voice

“Yeah Derek I’ll move in. But are you sure? This isn’t just a spur of the moment thing right?” I wanted to know before I moved in that he wasn't going to regret this in a week.

“It’s not. I swear. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while now. And this was just a good time to ask.” he moved closer to me sitting up

“I love you”

“I love you too” he said back cupping the side of my face which I leaned into

“So can we go get your stuff now? And by the way, some of your stuff is already here.” he pulled you back down on top of him

“How-” I looked at him puzzled and shocked

“I’ve been sneaking things over here to make you feel at home for a while and not we just need to get the rest of it” he looked around and I did the same. That's when I noticed that a lot of my stuff from my apartment were around the loft. He pulled me in for a kiss.

“Ok, one last thing.” I said pulling away from him

“Hmm” he raised his eyebrows ready to answer another question

“Where's my shirt?”

Summary: After getting kidnapped by the Alpha pack, your brother Scott and your boyfriend Isaac watch over you at night but both fall asleep

Authors Note: based off of that scene with Scott's mom

Masterlist

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After being kidnapped by the Alpha pack everyone has been on guard. And very protective of me. Then again I understand it, I was kidnapped and tortured, If I wasn’t a werewolf than I would have died.

I’ve been having nightmares since. So either Scott or Isaac have been staying in my room at night to comfort me.

If Deucalion wants my brother to join him I’m sure torturing his sister is not the way to get him to.

Like seriously, idiot. Its just like to get information why do you torture people like thats not going to make them want to tell you anything.

Tonight however Scott and Isaac are both staying with me.

The alpha pack had come after Derek earlier today so they were on high alert.

They both collected a bunch of blankets and pillows and slept at the floor at the end of my bed.

I only woke up once last night. The boys both comforted me through it.

Although when I woke up in the morning around 10 a.m. to go to the bathroom. I came back into my room to notice that both boys were asleep. I couldn’t help but giggle at the sight.

They always insisted the last couple weeks that someone was with me at all times and someone stayed awake all night with me on watch.

So finding them asleep was funny with how much of a fuss they put up.

I decided to do something funny but also kind of mean at the same time.

I walked over to my desk and plugged my phone into my speaker after turning the volumes all the way up on both of them. I went to my music and pushed play on 5 Seconds Of Summer’s - Money song. So once it started you hear there voices on it talking about cupcakes (no lie) then they scream “TAKE MY MONEY” and I stopped it after that.

Both Scott and Isaac bolted up from the floor. Looking around confused and shocked. I’m laughing over on the other side of my room, dying because of the looks on their faces.

“What the hell was that. Oh my god y/n not cool that was so not cool.” Scott rubbed his eyes

“Sorry but you should have seen your faces. Priceless. And uh what happened to standing up all night? Hmm?” I asked wanting to see them nervous, it’s funny.

“You fell asleep?” they said at the same time

“Guys it’s ok nothing happened” I told them

“Something could have” Scott said seriously

“But nothing did.” I said hoping to console him knowing he blamed himself for them getting me in the first place.

“I think we should get her back Isaac” Scott said turning to Isaac with a mischievous grin, after a period of silence.

“What did you have in mind Scott?” he replied

My smile dropped immediately

They gave each other a look and suddenly they both were dragging me down on top of my bed.

Before I knew it they both were tickling and holding me down.

Eventually they stopped after what felt like hours of begging.

The rest of the day went on with lots of jokes and a new plan for them to stay up all night.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“You ok?” Brett asked walking into the boy's locker room looking for Liam. The game was rough and Liam left the field fast and he seemed distracted during the game.

“Fine” Liam replied taking off his gear

“You don't seem fine” Brett pushed, hoping Liam would open up despite there little feud.

“Well now that the games over I have to plan something big cause my girlfriend wants a proper date.” Liam looked at Brett. Liam didn’t understand why Brett even cared. He pushed Liam to talk but all Brett ever did was make him mad or make fun of him.

“You don’t know how lucky you are, do you?” Brett questioned. Liam didn’t know what he had. He’s complaining about his girlfriend and all she wants is a real date. She sees their relationship going somewhere in the future that's great for him.

“What do you mean” Liam didn’t understand what Brett meant. How was he Lucky?

Liam loves his girlfriend. He just doesn’t know what to do for the date. He wants it to be special but where does he go? What restaurant?

“You have a girl that loves you. All she wants is to go on a proper date with you. Your lucky. You even have a true Alpha. You don’t realize how lucky you are, at all.” Brett stated moving closer to where Liam was sitting on a bench. Brett leaned against the lockers.

“Why do you think all of this makes me lucky?” Liam asked Brett confused.

“Do you realize how rare true alpha are?” Brett asked looking at Liam shocked. True alphas happen like once every couple hundred years.

“I don't think you only meant about that.” Liam said questioning. He could tell that Brett meant something other than just that. There was something other than just about his alpha.

“Brett?” Liam spoke again seeing that Brett got lost in thought. What else was this about.

“You’re right. . . I’m saying this to you because for one I’m right. For two I had a girl, that I’d do anything for. And she was the most beautiful girl in the world. I would have done anything for her.” Brett told Liam trying to get him to see that he is lucky.

“What happened?” Liam asked curiously as to what had happened to him and his girl.

“A pack of rabid werewolves attacked us about 6 months ago. She died, in the attack, in my arms. I would have gladly died in her place.” Brett spoke in a soft tone, looking down.

“I’m sorry-” Liam started but Brett cut him off

“Don't be there's nothing anyone could have done. She was stubborn as hell. I loved that about her, I loved everything about her. So when I say your lucky, it’s because you are. Don’t take your girl for granite... .Plan something nice, elegant make her feel loved.” Brett smiled at the memories of her. He misses her so much, everything about her.

After a period of silence. The boys shifting a little.

“Could you help me? Plan the date I mean. You probably know some good places.” Liam asked Brett nervously. Hoping that he’s not overstepping.

“Yeah, sure.” Brett nodded.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I was having a hard time sleeping tonight I didn’t know why. I don’t have school tomorrow. But not being able to sleep is awful. I have a movie running on my t.v., but it seems even that wouldn’t work I have pushed play on the menu 3 times already. I wasn't facing it anymore. I have my back turned to it.

“I picked up my phone to check the time. 4:00 a.m. it read. Seriously, the sun will rise in less than an hour. I put my phone back on my nightstand.

I moved my blankets up and adjusted my pillow.

I started to feel like I was starting to fall asleep. But I felt the bed dip down behind me. Which made me alert.

When I felt arms wrap around my middle I quickly turned my head to see who it was.

When I noticed it was Tate I untensed.

He chuckled before nuzzling his head into my neck. Before he started kissing my neck.

“Sorry if I scared you” he said mumbled into my neck. Stroking my abdomen.

“You didn’t scare me. Just startled me. You know it’s 4 in the morning right?” I said leaning into him.

“Yeah but I saw you couldn’t sleep and I am in the mood for cuddles.” he snuggled closer to me, kissing my shoulder

“So, you came into my room at 4 am to cuddle?” I asked him giggling.

“Hmmhm” he responded. I could feel him smiling

“Your staying home right?” he brought his head up and rested his chin on my shoulder

“Yeah, I have the day off from school. Why?” I turned in his embrace, cuddling into his chest.

“Because we are going to sleep in. And when everyone's gone we’ll make breakfast together.” he stated tightening his arms around me, resting his head on mine.

“That sounds great.” I cuddled into him more, if possible. Not long after that I fell asleep in his arms.

Why Are You Talking To Me? - Kai Parker

Summary: “You don’t know me, why are you talking to me?” Reader is sitting alone in Mystic Grill, Kai see’s this and goes and sits next to her and talks to her. Reader is use to being an outcast and alone so Kai doing this is a little unnerving

Authors Note: My prompt /    f/d=favorite drink

Masterlist

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

People were busy all around the Grill. It is dinner-rush so it’s to be expected. I’m just sitting alone here with my f/d and a basket of fries. Scrolling through my phone and acausally writing stuff down I normally do this, sitting alone. Being alone in general.

I live in the town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. A town filled with supernatural creatures: mainly Vampires, Witches, and acausally a werewolf here and there. Once even a Hybrid.

Me, I stay out of all the supernatural drama. No one knows that I’m supernatural or what I am. An I intend to keep it that way.

I’m a siphoner but I’m also a vampire. I guess it’s called a Heretic.

Suddenly I noticed someone sitting across from me in my booth. I looked at him raising one eyebrow looking around confused.

“W-what are you doing?” I asked him not understanding why a stranger was sitting with me.

“Sitting” he replied

“No, I mean. You don’t know me, why are you talking to me?” I spoke with a careful voice

“We might not know each other but we should.” he said with a confident tone and a smile that brightened his face

“Why should we?” I looked at him quizzingly. Not knowing why he thought we should get to know each other, probably just a bad pickup line.

“Because you and I, we are the same.” he smiled again taking a couple fries from my basket of them. Yep, this guy is crazy. He pointed between the two of us.

“We are nothing alike. I can say that and mean it” I told him. Although to him I’m just trying to get rid of him. But to me its because I’m not normal.

“I wouldn’t say that. I mean your a Heretic, right?” he asked giving me the ‘duh’ look, hoping that I don’t play the long game

“How do you know that?” I looked around hoping no one heard him. How does he know that about me its not a sensible thing. Not by smell, look, or touch.

“Chill. Look I’m one too, ok? Relax.” he laughed pointing to himself. He looked generally happy

“How? We are not a rare thing it only happens like once in a lifetime.” I asked him with wide eyes. Not believing there is another Heretic.

“Wowow look I’ll tell you every gory detail as long as you tell me yours.” he smiled and I nodded agreeing to tell him my story.

We probably talked for hours he told me his story, and to be honest I felt bad for him. His family treated him like shit all because he was born different than his siblings, it’s not like he could control it.

I told him mine. I’m from 1784 and I was just a siphoner back then I got turned by Klaus Mikaelson. He didn’t know what would happen but we guessed and it worked. I became both. The Mikaelsons took me in when my family kicked me out. They hated that I was different and not like them so they kicked me out. Klaus found me, took me in and even gave me the family name.

“Hey it’s closing time you guys have to leave.” one of the waiters said before passing our table to go clean others. No doubt waiting for us to leave and be able to clean our table.

We looked at each other and finished our drinks. Once we finished them we headed out.

“Well that was nice” Kai stated once out of the Grill and put his jacket on

“What was? What was nice?” I asked him looking up at him before we crossed the street to sit at one of the benches.

“Hanging out with someone understands how it felt to be a siphoner and a person who doesn’t hate me for everything I’ve done. It was nice not being alone.” he said sitting down next to me. Looking over with what I assume is happiness. Something tells me from his past that he doesn't feel that often.

“Yeah, it was.” I spoke softly. He looked at me questioningly, quietly asking me to go on “I’m normally all by myself, alone. Don’t want anyone to find out what I am. I don’t want to get dragged into all the supernatural crap that goes on in this town.” I told him honestly. Looking at my hands that rest in my lap.

“I get that, I wish I wasn’t as big of a part in it as I am.” he confused looking down to. I could tell he regretted some of what he did.

“It was nice to meet you Kai” I said after some time of silence. I stood up ready to head home.

“Wait! Wait! I don’t want this to end” he rushed out standing up quickly, grabbing ahold of her arm

“What do you suggest?” I questioned hoping he had a good plan or at least idea

“Well I would like to take you out on a date” he stood straight up and smiles interlacing both your hands

“Kai I don’t-” I started to stutter out but he cut me off, although I’m kind of glad he did.

“I know you don’t want to get sucked into all the supernatural drama that goes on in this godforsaken town. But we can keep you a secret from them. And if they find out about you we just tell them your human. No need to let them know everything, right?” he pleaded giving puppy dog eyes. I could see the hope they held. I want to give it a shot but I really don’t want to get caught up in the Mystic Falls drama that goes on so often.

“I guess but how do you suggest we do this?” I looked at him not knowing where to start

“Just like any other relationship, I guess” he shook his head with a smile tugging on the corners of his mouth

“Kai I don’t-”

“Please. . .just take a chance, on this, us” He begged moving one heard to your right cheek cupping it, holding the side of my face. I leaned into it.

“Ok” I agreed with a big smile

Even if I got sucked into all the crap an drama I would have Kai by my side.

As we decided to head back to my place he swung his arm around my shoulders and every time we passed someone Kai pulled me into his side. Shielding me from anything and anyone that could be harmful. This hopefully will all work out.
