After the first few weeks of school and asking Professor X a favor, I learn that my mother is alive and well, still living in Brooklyn, New York, pretty close by! Its strange to think that she's 63 now...and I'm actually 36...awkward. I'm going to go visit her. Today after class. I called her to come meet me at the diner. The name changed, but it is still a diner.

"Yeah, I'm going to see my mum!" I whisper excitedly to Val in class. "I miss her so much!"

"You just started talking in a British accent, which I have never heard you do," Val informs me. I laugh.

"Yeah, I do that when I'm around British people or when thinking of my mum. It is purely out of habit," I explain. I cannot wait for the end of the day!

As the end of the day comes around, I go back to my dorm and drop off my school things. I decide not to take anything, there isn't really a need to. I quickly go to the main entrance and just as I'm about halfway across the yard, Charles talks to me.

"Where are you going Wolfy?" Xavier wonders.

"To visit my mother," I respond telepathically. AKA I just think it. "I haven't seen her in a while and I called her to meet me at a diner."

"Alright, just wondering. Hank will take you." Of course, moments later, Hank McCoy appears. He's currently not blue and fuzzy like usual.

"Charles informed me of where you are heading," Hank tells me as I open my mouth to tell him where I'm going. We head to the car and Hank drives me to the diner. I see an old(ish) woman waiting by the rotating door. I get out of the car and wave at Hank good-bye. I go up to the woman.

"Mum...?" I whisper, she looks up. Her eyes widen.

"Ellis? You look so young!" my mum exclaims. She hugs me tightly, and of course I hug back. "How?"

"It's a long story... Lets go inside and I'll explain." So we go inside the diner and sit down in my regular booth. "The last time I was here, I was kidnapped." I start with my story. "They tried to kill me, but a secondary mutation manifested and saved my life, but it put me into a hypersleep that lasted for 22 years."

"Oh goodness!" Mum exclaims. "I would've never have guessed that that is what had happened. At least you're safe now."

"Most of the time, yeah," I say. "My school could lead to something dangerous..."

"How?"

"Well, it's a superhero school, so I'm probably going to become one too, but I'm still deciding." My mother smiles at me. I don't think I'll be able to get used to seeing her this old. It is so strange.

"Think it through before you decide whether you want to do it or not. I support your choice either way." We talked for a while longer, and we ate. I got my apple pie like usual. It was wonderful to be with my mum again.
