HELLO everybody! I got insperation to write this after watching X3! I hope you enjoy!
She has been called many names in her lifetime, but this was the first time she was called something as degrading as "Bitch." She was kidnapped from her quiet life in a small country town and was now on her way to become a sex slave. She was blindfolded and placed in between two muscular men and was driven cross country in a sleek black Mercedes. The men had just told her that they were almost to their destination, when the car came to a screeching stop, sending her short platinum blonde hair into her face as they all lurched forward.
"Hey lady!" one of her captors called out the window to a white haired woman that stood in the middle of the lane. "You're gonna get hit if you just stand there!"
The car began to shake violently as the wind howled around them. Seconds later, the travelers found themselves on their sides with a grizzly looking man standing on the back door. The man wrenched open the door and pulled the girl out from between the two men.
"This her?" he called to the woman, who nodded in return. The girl gasped as a gunshot was heard close to her ear. The man's grasp didn't falter as he jumped down from the car.
"What are you?" one of the men questioned in a hushed tone.
"None of your business," the grizzly man said before walking over to the woman. Slowly he placed the girl on the ground as the woman untied her blindfold. The girl blinked her bluish-white eyes at the complete darkness that surrounded her. The man then swooped her up into a bridal style hold and began walking with the woman back towards the forest that surrounded the road that they were on.
"I-I can walk," the girl said softly. Her eyes were slowly adjusting to the lack of light and were able to see the woman ahead of her and the man.
"I'm not going to guide you," the man said to her in a rough tone.
"I'm not blind," the girl countered haughtily. The man and woman stopped at that point and the girl was able to see a giant mass looming behind them.
"There's no point now," the man said as they walked onto the jet. The man placed her in one of the seats and strapped her in.
"Wh-what can I call you?" the girl asked shyly when the man was finished.
"I'm Storm and he is Logan," the woman said from the pilot seat. "You don't have to worry, we won't hurt you."
"Yet," the girl mumbled and the man smirked down at her before metal claws appeared at her throat.
"Trust me girl, if we wanted to hurt you, we would've done so by now," he said before removing his hand from below her jaw. Logan sat in the seat next to her as Storm got the jet into the air.
"Where are you taking me?" the girl asked them with little fear in her voice.
"A school where you can learn to control your powers," Storm answered.
"How do you know about them?" the girl asked as she started to gasp for air.
"Calm down kid," Logan warned, looking at her intensely.
"Don't call me 'kid'!" the girl nearly screeched. There was a loud snapping sound before the girl's body went limp. Her eyes half closed and her head rolled forward.
"Hey!" Logan yelled, jumping out of his seat. He started to shake the girl violently. "Hey!"
Storm quickly landed the jet in the high-tech landing area at the Academy. Logan nearly tore the belts off the girl and picked her back up. By this time she was wheezing in her comma-like state. Professor Xavier came to greet them. Without a word, the four headed for the medical room in the bottom level of the school.
"Professor?" Logan wondered as their temporary doctor examined the girl. "Is this part of her powers?"
Charles Xavier looked from the girl's almost motionless body to the faintly worried look on Logan's face.
"Yes, it's a side effect of her lack of control," Xavier said as the doctor left the room.
"What are her powers?" Storm asked from watching a nearby screen.
"Healing is her main power," Xavier said with a look of shock from Logan's typically calm face.
"I can also talk to plants," a soft voice came from the medical table. The three adults turned to see the girl slowly trying to sit up. Storm quickly walked over to her and helped support her. The girl looked accusingly at Xavier. "Apparently, you are telepathic."
"Yes. Now what is your name?" Xavier said politely with a calm and welcoming smile on his face.
"What do you want to call me?" the girl countered.
"That isn't our choice," Professor Xavier said kindly.
"I haven't picked my own name in a long time," the girl whispered mostly to herself. She glanced up at the adults. "May I be called 'Yuki' ?"
"If that is your wish,"Xavier said with a broader smile. "This is a school for mutants to learn how to control their powers as well as get a normal education. If you wish you can be enrolled as soon as you're well."
"I've already graduated highschool," Yuki said with a distant smile.
"Then you may be a guest," Xavier said breathlessly. Both Storm and Logan looked at the Proffesor with looks of mild worry. "It appears you have no need to learn how to control your powers."
Yuki grinned at him and hopped down from the table.
"Not when I've had them as long I have," she said with a wink. "May I leave?"
"Anytime you wish," Xavier answered almost immediately. "This school is open to our guests."
"I didn't mean the school, I meant this room," Yuki said as she ran her hand through her platinum blonde hair. Xavier looked at the temporary doctor and smiled.
"Logan will you show Miss Yuki to an empty room and give her a tour of the mansion?" he said to the bulky man in the corner. Logan nodded breifly before leading the young girl out of the room and down a metallic hallway.
"Sorry about earlier," Yuki whispered as the two headed down another hallway on the floor above the metallic one. "I'm pretty touchy about my age."
Logan just grunted as they turned down another hallway. The halls were dark and empty, but Yuki had a feeling that they would be full of life once morning came. The tour continued with breif visits down other hallways before they ended back at an empty room.
"This is your room," Logan said before turning and entering a door just across the hall. Yuki smiled sadly before entering her grandly furnished room.
Later that night, Logan was sleepily making his way back to his room from the kitchen, when he heard groaning and shuffling coming from Yuki's room. Logan knocked gently, but no one answered. He was able to hear the groaning stop, but the shuffling continued. Slowly, he opened the door to see a giant, moss covered vine flowing across the bed. It was wrapping itself around everything and completely blocking the young girl from view.
"Yuki!" Logan called, rushing in with his claws out. Yuki sat up with a jolt. Her light blue eyes hazzy with sleep but still alert.
"What?" she asked staring at his claws. She looked around to see nothing wrong. "What's going on?"
"There is a giant vine growing across you," Logan growled as he brought his claws up to take a slash at it. The vine started to twitch and Yuki crawled over it to stop Logan. She grabbed his hand before he could bringing it down to attack the vine.
"It's alright, he just wants to protect me!" she said to what seemed like both Logan and the plant. Logan looked at her in a disbelieving way. "I can talk to plants, remember? The plants around here are fast to make friends."
Logan just continued to stare though Yuki was able to see his claws retract back into his knuckles. The two stared at each other for several minutes before Yuki started to giggle.
"What's so funny?" Logan questioned the giggling girl. She looked at him with tears in her eyes from her laughter.
"Brandon thinks you are a savage idiot," Yuki giggled. Logan started to get angry, but then a thought struck him.
"Who the hell is Brandon?" he growled, wondering if there was someone else in the room. He sniffed, but all he could smell was the earthy smell of the vine and a strange floral scent that was floating off of Yuki. Yuki motioned down to the vine with a broad smile.
"He told me his name is Brandon," she said happily. She petted the vine softly and Logan saw it twitch at her touch.
"So you automatically believe it?" he questioned, looking at her like she was insane.
"Of course, plants have no reason to lie," she informed him with a wink. "Now, will you please allow me to get some sleep? Professor Xavier informed me that I will have tests tomorrow to let him see my powers."
Logan sniffed one last time before he left to go back across the hall. His nostrils were filled with the strange floral scent that Yuki had and his ears were also filled with her giggles as he confusedly tried to sleep.
The next morning, Logan was heading down to the Battle Room to see if there was anything he could do to stay busy without having to deal with any whining brats. He walked past the window that looked down into the Battle Room and paused. Yuki was standing in the middle of the room with pots all around her. Suddenly a bolt of lightning came flying at her. Logan looked on as her mouth moved and one of the pots rapidly grew a large tree that blocked the lightning. As the tree shrank back to a bud, a giant cactus grew and sent its needles flying towards whatever sent out the lightning. Yuki smiled at the cactus before waving it away. Logan turned as he heard wheels come down the hall.
"Her powers are amazing aren't they?" Professor Xavier asked in an awed whisper that was very unlike him. "She is so open with the plants and they are attracted to her. They can be used in anyway she wants them to."
"I thought her main power was healing," Logan commented to the near gloating teacher.
"It is, but we don't have any way to test it," Xavier told him with a nod. "Unless you are willing to hurt yourself?"
Logan growled softly before turning to enter the Battle Room. Yuki looked at him suspiciously with her hands reaching for two different pots.
"I'm not going to hurt you ki-, er, Yuki," Logan told her hesitantly, remembering the insident on the jet. He walked up to the line of plants the surrounded her and smirked. Before she could blink, Logan stabbed himself with his claws. He dropped to one knee with a gasp, but did not retract the claws. He closed his eyes, yet he could smell Yuki get closer to him. Gently she removed his claws from his stomach and placed her hand on the bloody area. Logan felt a warm and numbing sensation go through his torso. He opened his eyes in time to see Yuki collapse next to him. With a quick glance he was able to see that there was no trace of his wound, not even a spot of blood was left on his gray wifebeater.
"Let's get her to the doctor," Professor Xavier's voice came through Logan's thoughts. Logan nodded before picking up the small girl and carrying her down the hall to the medical room. Xavier rolled up next to him as he entered the room. "Her power is strong and partially controlled. When she gets a better grasp at it, she should stop fainting."
Logan grunted in response. The doctor walked up to the two men and smiled.
"She just needs rest and she should be back to nor-" the doctor was cut off by the shifting of clothes behind her.
"I'm fine," Yuki called to the three adults a little weakly. "I heal fast. Because of my powers, you know?"
Xavier nodded vaguely.
"Hey," Logan boomed in his deep voice. "If you can control plants so well, why didn't you stop your kidnappers?"
"They attacked me in a city, where I was surrounded by peaceful plants and trees are defensive plants so they couldn't help me," Yuki explained in a confident yet soft voice.
"What?" Logan said in minor confusion. "What do you mean 'peaceful'? Can't you just make them fight?"
"No, there are three types of plants; offensive, deffensive, and peaceful. Peaceful plants are too innocent to know anything in fights," Yuki tried to explain to the gruff man. "Flowers are apart of this category, they are good for energy after a battle. Trees are a good deffensive plant because they grow to be so large. Also vines are a good offensive plant, because they are quick to grow and can go just about anywhere."
Logan gave her a brief, confused glance before turning to the profesor. "Did you understand any of that?"
Xavier nodded. "Certain plants are good as supplements, while others are weapons and others shields. Am I right, Yuki?"
"Of course Profesor," Yuki said with a cheerful grin. Xavier smiled back at the girl before turning to leave the medical room. Yuki hopped down from the table and started to follow him out. "Bye Logan!"
The two left Logan staring after them in a daze. He had no idea what to think of the cheerful and serious girl that just appeared in his life.
