Chapter 1
N/A: That fanart deserves a story
Raven Darkholme can take the metaphorical armour off as the war is over. Apocalypse is defeated and Raven´s debt with Charles is finally paid, she can leave her blood past behind, well, not yet. Looking back at Anne Marie and Kurt Darkholme, the woman knows she needs to come clean with her family. The meadow is located under the hill of mercy and Raven can now think this is an appropriate name.
“Anne Marie, Kurt, I brought you two here to put my past behind and to move on, my children” Raven gives a weak smile as she opens her arms to hug them, Anne Marie and Kurt are not used to Mystique being so open with affection, normally, she prefers to send affection indirectly.
“Mom? Are you alright?” Anne Marie asked once the hug is broken. The red hair has her hard gaze towards them and then speaks to nowhere. “Please, papa, come out, I´m here, I´m finally here” Raven speaks the last part with a defeated tone, lowering her head as she finally admits she was in the wrong.
Suddenly, a blue creature with a white beard and a red hat. Rogue and Kurt look perplexed as Raven kneels to the blue creature as a soldier does to the king. Kurt is cleaning his eyes too many times to make sure he’s not going blind.
“How dare you put your feet here? Raven, when you leave the smurfs, you lost the smurf forever” Papa Smurf replied as other smurfs pop out too. Kurt´s jaw drops and Anne´s eyes widen as the tiny creature is scowling at Raven.
“I want to put the past behind” she replied ignoring her two kids “I was a smurf, I lost the way, and now I ask for forgiveness” her tone is humble and Papa Smurf narrow his eyes at her “How dare to ask for that when you are caring the bones of my kids?”
Raven take the belt and put on the ground as the bones gain flesh and are alive again, smurf walking again. Kurt Darkholme´s jaw still drops.
“But…how?” Papa Smurf asked once his children are back to him, didn´t Raven killed them.
“I´m a smurf and a Smurf never forget to smurf…you send your kids to murder me, I could have killed them, but, I didn´t “ Raven states and Papa Smurf nods.
“I think we all start on the wrong foot, too much blood and anger, maybe we can´t change the past and things will be difficult to forget, but, a Smurf is always welcome here” Papa Smurf replied.
“No, like you said, too much blood and anger is in our past, however, I have kids, a son that is blue as me” Kurt Darkholme´s jaw is still open and Rogue did have to close or her brother would literally catch flies. “I ask you this, in the name of a better future, let my children learn the smurf culture if they so wish, they are heroes and unlike me, they saved and are saving lives”
Papa Smurf looks at the kids and especially at Kurt Darkholme, the old blue creature nods and speaks as a father “Raven, if your kids wish they are free to know more of the smurf culture, let that teach something to us…anger is never the answer, be save my daughter, continue to smurf”
“Like you, Papa Smurf, keep smurfing”
Rogue had to carry Kurt Darkholme as this was the last straw.
Epilogo:
Ariel is humming a merry tone, today the woman wants to do nothing, however, when Kurt Darkholme arrives looking pale as a ghost, her plans changed. “Hey, Kurt are you alright?”
“Call that thing you love to call me” he pleads as hugging Kitty´s form.
“Rockstar?”
“Yes, please?”
“Ok, Rockstar, do you want to talk about something?”
“God, No!”
