“Y-y-yes dear?” Magneto answered, through the rather large hole her daughter had created in her cocoon.
“I was going to tell you this last year, but I decided you weren’t mature enough to know yet, however I think you’re old enough to know now.”
“W-what would that be dear?” Magneto braced herself for an uncomfortable revelation about her daughter’s sex life.
There was a brief moment of silence before Wanda answered.
“I’m adopted.”
“What?! When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?” Shock was apparent in Magneto’s voice.
“I didn’t think you were adult enough to handle it, but lately you’ve been showing signs of maturity so I thought it best I told you.”
“I-I-I….”
Patting the metal egg gently Wanda asked, “Would you like a little time alone to deal with it?”
Regaining control over her vocal cords with an effort Magneto replied, “Yes… I think that’s best.”
Wanda nodded and gave the egg one last pat, “I’ll be available if you want to talk later Mom.”
Walking out of Magneto’s room, she closed the door and began sprinting down the hall desperately trying to hold in her laughter till she was out of hearing range.
Bumping into Ranma, coming out of the medical bay, she lost it and started laughing.
Ranma stopped wiping his hands on a paper towel, as Wanda clung to him.
“What’s so funny?”
“I just … convinced … my ‘mom’ … that I was … adopted!” Panting and wiping her eyes Wanda caught her breath.
Ranma grinned, “That was a good one, but I’ve got a better one.”
“What?”
“Check out the bed in there.”
Wanda opened the door and peeked in. “You broke The White Queen’s arm?” She asked, a bit upset.
“Nah, I fixed it. The Tin Man stepped on her going through a wall. Check out the other bed.”
“I don’t see anything.”
Ranma smirked, “Get real close, but don’t wake him.”
Wanda tiptoed into the medical bay, only to return a moment later stunned. “Who?”
“Sabertooth.”
Color returned to her face, along with a cheek splitting grin. “Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.”
Ranma snickered, “Just like ole’ Bucket Head, he’ll return physically to normal in about a week. The dye takes a couple of weeks to wear off tho’ and the mental effects may take months.”
“Mental effects?”
“A minor adjustment to his vocabulary.”
“You mean?”
“Yep. Rather fitting isn’t it?”
Wanda just laughed.
Ranma tucked the blue stained paper towel into a pocket and posed with his hands on his hips. “Who’s the man?”
Wanda wrapped her arms around him, “That would be you, for a couple of hours more at least. We need you female and dressed appropriately for dinner for the next phase.”
Ranma smiled as he held her close, “I also have a little surprise involving the underdressed chick and your mom if all goes well.”
“Really? What?”
“It’s a surprise.”
Wanda smiled and snuggled deeper into his arms, ”Busy?”
Ranma shrugged off his rapidly fading fear of girls, “I got time.”
“Good, I want to give you the tour.”
Releasing him, she grabbed his hand and led him off down the hall.

Magneto stopped banging her head on her desk and exclaimed, “She can’t be adopted! I did the blood tests myself!”
Rubbing her temples, she wondered if there was any Midol in the med bay.
Let’s look in on…
