History

Phase 2

Allison and Kara met in 1993, shortly after Kara gave birth to Megan (the result of a brief relationship; she doesn't like to talk about it). Though they were instantly attracted to one another, the stigma of the time forced them to hide it, and they tried to just be friends. That only lasted a few months, however, before they finally came clean to one another about their feelings and began dating. They moved in together after a year and became foster parents, temporarily taking in kids who needed homes. In 1996 they took in six-year-old Alex Summers, and he ended up becoming permanent. They continued to foster children until Alex manifested at thirteen, at which time they decided protecting their son was more important.

In 2015, the family became targets of the Brotherhood of Mutants, who were after their son's fiancee. Thankfully Megan was on a road trip with friends, but Kara and Allison were captured and held hostage by Mystique, who was trying to get information on Lorna. They came out of it with minor bruises and some trauma, but mostly just wanted to know if their son was okay. Alex later Skyped them to find out if they were okay, and see if he could get them to move closer to New York, where they could be protected if the Brotherhood came back. They agreed to think about it. While they haven't moved yet, all three attended Alex's wedding to Lorna in October 2017, happy to welcome her into their family.
