To think that this hypothesis of mine was actually correct. And here I thought that it was just an outlandish guess.

“So, what should we do now?” I asked as the matter was quite complicated since she had been our enemy.

“This situation is actually in our favour as we were thinking of recruiting Mystique. This whole situation will increase our chances tremendously.” Professor Xavier said, revealing their motives regarding Mystique.

“You want to recruit Mystique. But wasn’t she working for that mutant supremacist brotherhood.” I could not understand why would they want to recruit Mystique.

“Actually, the relationship between me and Mystique is quite old. She is old, in fact much older than Wolverine. It was actually her who guided me when I first awakened as a mutant.

As expected of someone of such old age, she is quite a chaotic person, often working purely for her self-interest. But from what I know about her, she is definitely not a mutant supremacist. There must be some reason why she joined the Brotherhood of Mutants.”

Professor Xavier explained his history with Mystique, about how she had introduced him to the world of mutants.

“Then, let's go talk to her. What are we waiting for? This will finally get her to talk.” Ever since Mystique had been brought to the X-Mansion, she had not spoken a single word with us. Fortunately, after this revelation, she would finally be willing to talk.

“No, Peter.” To my surprise, Professor Xavier declined my suggestion.

“The first one who has the right to talk with Mystique is her son, Kurt. We should not take that right away from him.” Professor Xavier said, reminding me who had the right to first talk with Mystique.

“Yeah! That's right. I had seriously forgotten it in the excitement.” After all, this was something extremely important for Kurt who didn't have any parental influence in his life till now.

“Now, go and get some sleep. We will talk about this matter with Kurt in the morning. Have a good night.”

***************************

“Hey, Peter! What's up? How did that night out went with Gwen?” Kurt asked in an upbeat tone like he did always.

We were currently at the dining table for breakfast, ready to start the day. I just hope that he will be able to maintain that upbeatness after he learns about Mystique.

“You will learn in a moment!” I said as I looked at Kitty coming towards us with her phone in her hand. Looks like she saw my picture with Spider Woman on the social media.

“Peter, what is it I am seeing? You were with Spider Woman yesterday night.” Kitty said revealing that I was on a patrol with Spider Woman last night to everyone.

“What? But Peter, you had said that you would be with your friend Gwen last night.” Jean said, remembering my plan with her.

“This just means that Peter's friend Gwen is actually Spider Woman.” Emma said as she realised the meaning of the picture she was seeing.

“Wow! It is amazing that your best friend is also a hero, right Peter? Moreover, she is Spider-Woman! You have to bring her to X-Mansion someday, Peter. I am a big fan of her.” Kitty said with literal stars in her eyes.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“I didn't know that you were such a big fan of her, Kitty.” I was surprised to learn this fact as Kitty had never talked about this matter with anyone before.

“Of course, I like her. She is also a girl around my age with superpowers and she uses them in order to fight crime. By the way, are her webs a part of powers?” Kitty asked, curious about Gwen or rather Spider Woman.

“No, they are not a part of powers but instead a gadget called web shooters. In fact, I was the one who had made her web shooters along with her suit.” I proudly revealed the fact that I was the one who had created everything which Spider Woman used.

“No wonder you are so much gifted in enchantment. You were already able to create gadgets such as web shooters even before you joined Kamar Taj.” Emma said after learning about the fact that I was the one who created web shooters.

“But Peter, is it okay for us to learn about the fact that your friend Gwen is Spider-Woman? Although none of us are the kind of people to take advantage of this fact, aren't there others who know that it was you in that suit? So, why did Gwen decide to take this decision?” Emma asked, concerned about Gwen.

“You don't need to worry. The few others who know are also not that kind of people. Also, Gwen took this decision because she had finally decided to reveal her identity to everyone who was close to her. She wanted to reveal this fact for a long time but was afraid of the reaction.

But once she saw the reaction of everyone when they saw me fighting Sabertooth, she finally got the courage to reveal her identity.”

I explained to everyone that there was no need for them to worry about Gwen as it was her decision.

“Good morning, everyone!” Professor Xavier along with the other teachers entered the room and greeted us.

“Professor, did you see this picture?” Kitty said, showing Professor that picture with me and Spider Woman.

“I had already seen it a few hours ago when it was first posted. I have already talked about this matter with Peter. And I have also told Peter to tell Gwen that she is welcome to join us in the X-Mansion should she ever require any help.” Professor Xavier explained to everyone what he had talked with me last night.

“Really! That's great. Thank you, Professor!” Kitty said, thanking him for giving this offer.

“So, Peter. You got any special plans for today. After all, it is Sunday.” Kurt asked after finishing the breakfast.

“You can talk about today's plans later, Kurt. I have something important to tell you.” Professor Xavier said to Kurt. Looks like he had decided to tell this fact to Kurt as soon as possible.

“What is it, Professor?” Kurt asked curiously.

“We have found who is your mother. It is Mystique!” Professor Xavier said, revealing the fact directly.

As Kurt heard these words, his face took a shocked expression. Everyone else was also shocked by this sudden revelation.

“You okay, bub!” Mr. Logan asked after a few minutes when he saw that Kurt was still silent.

“If she is my mother, then why did she left me at that lab?” Kurt said with tears in his eyes. “Why had I never seen her before in my whole life?”

“That is something only she can answer. If it was not for Peter's speculation, we would never have found this fact. Come, it's time for us to talk to Mystique once again. We have not talked with her ever since we learnt about this fact because you deserved to be the first one to talk to her.” Professor beckoned us to follow him to where Mystique had been imprisoned.

“Hey, Peter. Thanks! Without you, I don't know if I would ever have learnt this fact.” Kurt thanked me as we moved to the underground facility.

“You don't need to thank me. I was just looking out for my friend. Besides, when I had this speculation, I had thought that it was rather outlandish.” I said while smiling.

I was happy that I could do something for him. I hope that this meeting between mother and son goes smoothly and Kurt’s heart doesn't break from this conversation.

“So, you ready to meet her, Kurt.” Mr. Hank asked as we reached where Mystique had been imprisoned.

“Yes, I am.” Kurt said with determination in his voice.

“Hello, Mystique.” Professor Xavier greeted Mystique as we approached her. Although she didn't say a word just like she had since she had been imprisoned here.

Mystique had been imprisoned in a special prison with bars made of special alloys as well as hardened glass between the bars.

Sensors were covering every area both inside and outside the cell. Even I had put a warning spell on the cell out of caution.

Moreover, a shock collar had been put on Mystique’s neck in case she tried to use her powers. As Professor Xavier already had data regarding Mystique's powers, it was not that hard to make such a sensor which could detect when she tried to use her powers.

“Mystique!” Kurt said, stepping out and addressing her.

He deactivated the holo watch, causing him to revert to his true appearance.

“You are my mother, right?” He asked, his voice full of emotions.
