"WE LOST HER AND WE NEVER KNEW WHAT HAPPENED TO HER. IT WAS LIKE A PIECE MY SOUL WAS TAKEN FROM ME,"
September 20th 1989, Red Room Academy.
"Jean Elaine Grey is the most powerful thing on this planet," Madame B. spat out in English to the older blonde man, "she is almost unreal but she has a daughter who has also proven to have abilities similar to her mother. As far as I know, her name is Aurora and she could be very useful to us,"
The superior just rolled his eyes.
The madame was annoyed at how unamused he was, "This child is powerful! The Red Room breathes power. We create power and that's why I've devised a plan to take the child. You know how successful we and always get what we want,"
"Don't intimidate me, Madame. You know all about my reputation and you know I also get what I want. If this child is as powerful as you say then wouldn't she benefit with me? She would learn to control her powers out in the field,"
It had almost been three years since the child of Jean Grey and Scott Summers had been born. Madame B. had found out about the child and demanded that she be turned into an asset rather than just let her go to waste. However, she needed help, she needed the superior's help to get her. She needed someone to take the child and hand her over, she just had to convince the superior to let his asset get her.
"I know this is about more than the academy reputation, madame. This...," the superior said, "she is a game-changer,"
"Game-changer?" the madame scoffed, "she is the Endgame,"
"I will send my soldier out to retrieve her and give her to you. Then, when she has completed her training you will hand her over to us and she will bring everyone to their knees," The superior bargained.
The madame thought for a moment, she wanted this child, "The child is turning 3 in a few days and a few days after that you will take her. She is in Salem, New York in the house of Charles Xavier but you have to be careful he might sense you coming. Not to mention the man who controls metal. And the mother, don't engage with her,"
The superior smile grew at her words, "We'll make sure it looks like the child is dead. They'll never see the soldier coming,"
"The perfect lie," The madame smirked, "will your soldier be able to do this?"
"Of course, the Winter Soldier never fails," the voice of Alexander Pierce said with confidence.
"Then it is done,"

September 23rd 1999, Salem, New York.
Jean Grey sat on the floor of her missing daughter's room. That night Jean had woken up to the crying of her 3-year-old daughter. She had rushed out of bed and into her daughter's to find she was gone.
"Aurora!" she shouted.
"Mummy!" a shout came from downstairs.
Jean ran downstairs closing off every door and window with her powers. She wasn't going to let anyone take her daughter. At the entrance of the large mansion stood a man in all black with a black mask on carrying his daughter. Jean shot her hand out to move a chest of draws in front of the door to stop the kidnapper.
The man simply ran down a hall that went off to the side the 3-year-old now limp in his arms. Jean was soon joined by Scott and Erik Lehnsherr who happened to be visiting that morning. The mutants ran after the intruder until they were forced to stop in front of a locked door which held the two inside.
The soldier looked at the little girl he held in his arms she was no longer crying but in an induced sleep to look dead. he had to find a way to get out of this house fast because he had done the one thing he was told not to do. He had engaged with the mother and now she was hunting him down.
He grabbed a vase and threw it at the window smashing it into pieces as Jean Grey opened the door. He grabbed his gun and shot at Scott and Erik who fell to the ground. Erik looked up at the man in black and realized he was the same guy who managed to kill Kennedy. If he couldn't stop him then, he couldn't stop him now.
The soldier finally stopped at Jean and pointed the gun at her, pulling the trigger. The tranquillizers sank into her veins of the three mutants. Jean, however, tried to resist the sleepy feeling of the tranquillizer and watched the soldier break the window and jump out.
The soldier ran outside with the child and Jean following behind. The tranquillizer was starting to make it harder for Jean to concentrate her powers. She tried to follow her daughter, shouting out desperately, tears streaming down her cheeks before she finally gave in to the sleepiness.
A hand went on Jean's shoulder snapping her out of her thoughts, "Jean, we'll find her. Even if we don't she might find us," Charles Xavier tried to console her.
"No, you don't understand, she meant everything to me. I still don't even know why they wanted her. I-I remember I couldn't read the kidnappers mind it was blank and I couldn't use my powers like there was a forcefield stopping me from getting him," Jean sobbed holding her daughter's favourite bear.
"Today is her 13th birthday and she probably doesn't even know. She has to be out there somewhere. And I will find her even if it kills me," Jean said, she still believed that her daughter was alive even when no one else did.
Charles didn't know what to tell her, he had tried looking with Cerebro but somehow he couldn't find Aurora. She was truly gone and now all he could hope that she was alive. Maybe, now that Aurora is older she'll find them.
But she never did.
Okay time to explain but I've decided that Charles, Erik, Hank, Jean and Logan (Scotts dead if you didn't know) haven't aged much due to events with Apocolapsye (Minus Logan cause he was somewhere else but he's not gonna age cause who wants an old Logan?).
I just felt like it would be better if they were younger instead of their old selves. AND because in Dark Phoenix they basically haven't aged a day so why don't we just keep them young.
Also Jean and Logan are together.
