After first movie, Prof. X reflects on Logan & Marie's relationship...NOT romance. Please R&R!
...White on Black...
Through a sheen of glass I see her
run,
laughing with the other students...children...
older than them, though, now
Trials and tribulations through
white on black
a whisper of memory and pain.
He saved her, of course, so sure it seems, now...but it was so
very close.
So very close.
He proved himself--not to me, I knew--claim to have known...
but to himself? He can sleep in
peace.
No,
Never in peace
but better now...knowing whatever--
whomever he once was, he
Is
a good man.
I knew...claim to have known...he would save her. She
Trusted him, above all others. She
Believed in him when others faltered. They
trust him now...Jean. Even Scott.
Storm always sensed, but she sees him clearer than others
understands him better than others...yet even she lacks
Marie's blind faith. Trust. Implicit trust that he above all others...
Her hair blows in the wind, white on black, and I feel the breath catch in my
throat.
So very close. If I hadn't known...claim to have known...I feared I was wrong
Fear I am wrong. I cannot
always be right. She
Trusted him, and I trusted...claimed to have trusted...him as well. But if he hadn't
known...if she hadn't believed...so very close. He's leaving,
and I have no right...no claim of right...to stop him. He sees the white on black,
he knows how close they came, and he knows she
Believes in him. Above
All else.
Slowly he is coming to believe as well, but he needs proof, evidence, something other than
blind faith. She'll wait, trust,
Believe. He is her savior, father, brother, friend. She'll wait forever. And he'll come back,
Always
because she is the white in his world of
Black.
