"Children, if you please? I'd like to know more about this 'Mystique' character Cordelia believed Xander was. And Cordelia… the name Lehnsherr isn't unknown to me, but I can't help but hope you are not referring to the man I think you are when you say 'grandpa'…"

     Cordelia straightened up with a huff, doing her best to fix the mess her charging bull impression had done to her hair. "If you're thinking of Erik Lehnsherr, also known as Magneto the psychotic mutant terrorist with the glowy energy weapon he tried to use on the UN delegation, you're not wrong. He had three daughters and one son, or at least that's how many we know about. I'd call him a player except… eww, grandpa. You don't want to think about your parents having sex, much less your grandparents, you know? Anyways, he had a daughter named Anya with his first wife but she was killed and then that wife freaked and ran off after he had a Rambo moment and used his powers to kill off all the villagers who kept him from saving his daughter… and then took out what was left of the town just for good measure. After that, he ran back into this Romani girl named Magda that he'd known at Auschwitz and they fell in love. She got pregnant and had twins: my Aunt Wanda, who can do some weird glowy red math thing that messes up reality, and Uncle Pietro, who has superspeed. Not sure how that worked out or what either has to do with magnetism, but that's genetics for you." Cordelia shrugged before pointing to herself. "He and Magda didn't work out and so he went on his merry way and met a woman named Suzanna Dane. That's my grandmother. She gave birth to a bouncing green-haired baby girl named Lorna, who has his powers but thankfully lacks the whole 'take over the world' gene. She took the name Miriam Dane when her father ran off to go on his Pinky and the Brain kick and married a boring flatscan so she could live a life of wealth and comfort. I'm the product of their largely loveless marriage. Before last night, I had the powers without the freaksville look that mom gets when she forgets to book an appointment to have her roots touched up but I guess I can kiss my days of blending in goodbye."

     "I'm sorry…" Giles looked utterly baffled, not that Xander could blame him. It was a lot to take in. Cordelia was a mutant? Whose grandfather was Magneto? And Miriam Chase, whose picture was probably next to MILF in the dictionary, was really a green-haired mutant who had inherited the man's fearsome magnetic powers before passing them on to Cordelia? Except it turned out Giles was stuck on something else entirely. "Who or what are 'Pinky and the Brain'?"
