Ben DaVine

[evan..relic]

"He was in the memories that were affecting her like that."

[Erika]

Beast looked at Ben, and roared. "WHAT!?"

Erika awoke, and started to cry.

Beast picked her up, and craddled her in his arms. "Hush my cub, I didn't mean to wake you. Hush now."

Erika quieted, stuck her thumb in her mouth, and fell back asleep in his arms.

Beast kissed her on the head, and continued to hold her.

[evan..relic]

"Exactly what I said." Ben said calmly.

[Erika]

Beast nodded. "How would he know her? Who else was in her memories?" He asked concerned.

Erika muttered something in her sleep, that sounded like, Grandfather.

Beast looked down at her and frowned, deep in thought.

[evan..relic]

Ben shook his head, "No one I could recognize, it was all blurry..."

He looked down at Erika and muttered, "There seems to be more to this one than meets the eye..."

[Erika]

Erika again muttered the word, and moaned. She laid still, but her mind wasn't.

Beast held her tighter, and growled. "Well we better get to the bottom of this before something else happens." He said.

[evan..relic]

Telepathically pulling up a chair, he sat down with a sigh, "I concur. Something is up... to say the least."

[Erika]

Beast sat down on the floor, still holding Erika. "But what?" He growled as he smelled someone outside the door. "Someones outside your door." He said, growling more loudly.

Erika groaned, and then whimpered. Falling silent, she laid still, but breathed heavily.

[evan..relic]

Ben groaned as he got up and muttered something about getting too old for this, opening the door, he stumbled backwards, quickly lancing out, he connected with Beast's mind, he said, 'It's him! From Eri's dream!'

[Erika]

Beast got up, slowly, snarling. "What are you doing here?"

Erika awoke, and started to cry.

Magneto flinched slightly, but said nothing. Hearing Erika crying, he made a move to go to her, but stopped himself.

Erika wiggled out of Beast's grasp, and dove under the kitchen table.

Beast growled, and went to all fours.

Magento saw Erika, and reached out a hand towards her. "I meant you no harm child." He said.

Erika cocked her head at him, confused.

[evan..relic]

Ben cocked an eyebrow and stepped in the newcomer's way, "And you would be?"

[Erika]

Magneto opened his mouth to answer, but was interrupted by Erika.

"Grandfather?" She said, cautiously.

Magneto smiled. "My name is Magneto." He looked at Ben, and sighed.

Beast roared, and dug his claws into the carpet. "YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER!!!" He roared at Magneto.

Erika started to cry, and whimper.

Magneto looked at Beast, and hung his head. "You have taken her from me, but I know something you don't." He warned.

[evan..relic]

Ben's other eyebrow went up, "Oh?"

[Erika]

Magneto looked at Ben. "I know who Beast really is, and I know Erika's blood line." He said.

Erika, who had stopped crying, went to Ben, and squeezed past him. Placing a hand on Magneto's leg, she looked up at him. "Grandfather?" She asked again.

Magneto nodded. "Yes." He answered.

Beast growled a note of warning.

Magneto looked down at Erika and smiled. "You have your mother's eyes."

[evan..relic]

Pulling over the chair again, he sat down with his head in his hands. Now his head hurt.

[Erika]

Beast stopped growling, but he still stood his guard.

Erika stepped back, and stood in the kitchen, confused.

Magneto sighed, entered the house, closed the door, and stood in the kitchen next to Erika. "I meant her no harm." He said.

Erika looked up at Magneto, and frowned. "Mommy and daddy?" She asked.

Magneto looked down at her, and frowned. "They joined the human army." He said sadly.

Erika nodded, and sat on the floor.

Beast stayed still, not sure what to do.

[evan..relic]

Lifting his head up, Ben carefully watched the proceedings.

[Erika]

Beast sat on the floor, watching, but not moving.

Erika sat on the floor, staring at Magneto.

Magneto kneeled beside Erika, but did not touch her. "I know you are confused, and I also know that you are scared." He said.

Erika blinked, and nodded.

[evan..relic]

Ben stood up, "Just get to the damn point."

[Erika]

Magneto looked at Ben, and shook his head. "Very well." Ruffling Erika's hair, he then looked at Beast. "Do you know why she has blue hair?" He asked.

Erika looked at Magneto, and smiled. "Cause I'm special?" She answered.

Magneto laughed. "Yes. But there is also another reason."

Beast got up and stood next to Ben. "What reason?"

Magneto stood, and picked Erika up. "I think you know."

Erika stayed in Magneto's arms. She stayed quiet to let the adults speak.

[evan..relic]

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Ben sighed, "Get to the point."

((Ben be impatient))

[Erika]

Magneto sighed. "Erika shares the same blood line as Beast." His tone conveying honesty.

Erika looked at Magneto, then to Beast, and then back to Magneto. "Beast family?" She asked.

Magneto nodded.

Beast nearly passed out. He didn't understand this.

Magneto smiled. "Erika and Beast are cousins. However her existance was kept secret from most of the family."

Beast fell to the floor on his knees. "How?"

Magneto shook his head. "Check her blood with yours. There is a genetic match."

Erika smiled, and giggled. "Beast, and you my family."

[evan..relic]

Ben couldn't believe his ears, "Then again... I'm not all that surprised...."

[Erika]

Beast couldn't believe it. He had never been told Erika had even existed. He just thought that she had blue hair, because of her powers. He had never suspected being related to her.

Magneto looked at Ben. "Yes well. Beast was the first born with blue fur. Then came Erika. Mutant genes run deep in our family."

Erika stayed still and silent. She didn't know what to say.

Beast looked up at Erika, and then back to the floor. He didn't know how to take this news.

[evan..relic]

Ben sighed as he walked over to the window, opening it, he took in a deep breath of air, something stunk here.

[Erika]

Magneto let Erika down, and then went over to the window Ben was at. "I know it comes as a shock. I'm sorry I didn't say anything at the court hearing."

Erika went to Beast, and hugged him.

Beast hugged Erika back, and then just held her.

[evan..relic]

Suddenly Ben vomited out the window, the stored time energy in him was beginning to wreak havoc on his body. Plus, his migraine was getting worse.

((IDK))

[Erika]

Magneto just watched Ben throw up. He sighed, and went to the kitchen table, and sat down.

Erika stayed in Beast's arms. She was happy, but confused.

Beast wrinkled his nose at the smell of vomit, but stayed on the floor holding Erika.

[evan..relic]

Pulling his head back in, he wiped the corner of his mouth on his sleeve, "Okay, explain. What in the name of dear Gaia is going on here?"

[Erika]

Magento, looked at Ben, and frowned. "What do you mean?" He asked.

Beast rolled his eyes. "I think he wants to know if you're serious."

Magneto sighed. "I am serious."

Erika whimpered, and hid her face in Beast's shoulder.
