Lost Life

Author's note: Last chapter!!! This story is ending!! Tho...never mind. I shouldn't say anything. Just enjoy it and I hope you liked the story.

Pyro and Julian left Erik behind them. After Emily's death there's nothing for them. Pyro lost a friend, Julian lost family. Julian's uncle is still there and she does love him still, but she's beginning to see that maybe Erik's plan isn't a very good one. So they left, went to Bayville.
It didn't take long for Siryn to tell them that Erik's mad as heck and Gambit's gone AWOL. She also told them that Eliza, the German woman was gone as well. Julian had guessed that she would leave, in all the meetings she'd heard Eliza hadn't seemed to fond of Erik.
Pyro got her enrolled at a local school and found a small apartment for them to stay in. He refused to stay with the boys Pietro had gone too, with good reason. Pyro knew that being that close to the X-Men may cause problems in the future but he figured it may be a good thing for her to grow up near other mutants.
As expected they sent someone to the school she was at, a young woman named Jean Grey to talk to Julian. They somehow knew about her relation to Erik. What they didn't know is that she already had control of her power. They didn't know just how special she is.
That day after school Julian came home to a surprise party. Evidently Siryn told Pyro about her birthday. As a bonus Will was there. Julian laughed when they all jumped out, yelling "Surprise!"
She ran to Will first, obviously because he's her father. "Daddy!" she hugged him at his waist, due to her being so much smaller than the grown man. She looked up at him and asked "How did you know where I am?"
He smiled, hugging his little girl "I'm your daddy, I always know where you are."
Julian hugged him again then ran over to Pyro and Siryn and hugged them both, not bothering to wonder how Siryn got there. "Thanks guys." she told them.
Pyro smiled "Now, you ready to open your presents?" Julian nodded excitedly, making all of them laugh. She rushed over to the small coffee table where several, rather poorly wrapped presents sat. She tore into them, eager to see what each of them held. The first was a silver necklace, from her father, that said 'love' inside a circle. The second was a book titled 'Fire' by Kristin Cashore, Julian knew that one had to be from Pyro. The last one was a movie, 'The Avengers', since this was the only one left it made since for it to be from Siryn.
The rest of her day was the best birthday yet. Her two best friends and her dad there, only thing that could have made it better was her mom being there. But they all knew that wouldn't happen. It was a small party but that didn't matter to Julian. She'd always been rather simple, never wanting for much more than the well being of her family and friends.
