Madelyne had known her intention from the start, the second she found you she knew that she had to keep you out of Jean Grey and Scott Summers' clutches. Those heartless, cruel, monsters. The woman who'd taken her husband, her son, everything she had ever loved from her. And the man who at the faintest whim of his former love being alive had abandoned her, and their child. No, she needed to keep you as far away from the Xavier school as possible.

You were vulnerable, a mutant who was running from the police for no crime other than your birth. She nursed you back to health, you'd keeled over from exhaustion the moment you set foot on the porch of her cabin. And now she had someone who was indebted to her, who could only thank HER for their salvation. You'd turned up with a broken leg and shoulder, and as she helped you get cleaned up she petted your hair, "It's alright, you're safe now. Nothing will harm you here."
