I woke up in the middle of the night to sounds of screaming. Looking feverishly around, I realized the screaming was coming from me. Maggie grabbed my shoulders.
"Charles, what's wrong?" she asked nervously.
Catching my breath, I answered, "There was something I didn't tell you about my son, David."
"Yes?"
"Well, he killed me."
Maggie just smiled. "You're looking pretty good for a dead guy."
"I'm serious. He traveled back in time and killed me before I founded this school and started the X-Men. The Earth was mostly devestated as a result. Turns out we've done some important stuff over the years. But the important thing is that he killed me."
"Well . . you got saved obviously."
"Yes, a few mutants were outside the time-stream and managed to correct things."
"There you go. You have nothing to worry about, Charles. You have a lot of people who care about you and will protect you. Not that you will need it. I'm sure that if Vampirella's child is yours, it will be a wonderful, special child who will do great things in this world. I really hope it is yours."
I looked at her a moment and resisted the impulse to read her mind. "Really? It wouldn't bother you?"
The warmth from Maggie's smile told me that she was quite sincere. She really is a special lady. I slept soundly the rest of the night.

We just need you to rest right now Charles
DNA ID does seem to ber slow.
Maggie doesn't care that Vampi's baby could be yours? I don't see that happening, more likely we're going to see a catfight very soon -- a super powered catfight!
While I am firm promoter of peace, there ain't nothing wrong with a little cat-fight now again, you know what I mean? ;-]
