Exp-290-396-039
So cold... very cold... hear voices... shouting... darkness... and liquid... smell chemicals... smooth... hear voices... feel danger... don't like... where... who... why here... how... dark... hot inside... no breath... escape... stinging... need get out... out... out... o..u..t...
"Warning! Warning! Pressure going up! Unstable!"
"Ms. Amherst, the waterpressure is going down!" shouted a man hysterically. The lab room was flickering with red lights and the loud voices of the computers were blaring down into the scientists' ears. Men and women scurried about, grabbing for more chemicals and notes with frightened looks.
"Go adjust it then, Mr. Jones!" snarled the woman in a black suit. Her eyes were flaring with anger as she grabbed her clipboard and pushed the doors of the lab. Her tall clanking high heels rang through the lab but the sirens up above were giving shrill sounds of warning.
The woman grabbed for her cellphone in her black handbag and she also got out her sleek black glasses and wore them on her pointed nose. She had had enough with these scuttering little doctors and scientists. She would have to report to herpartner about the failure of yet another experiment that had cost them so much money.
She put her cellphone near her ear and she impatiently waited for the person to answer. There was a click and a deep voice spoke back. "I'll be needing an helicopter, Mr. Erkan," she commanded and cut the line. Then she headed for the top of the building, her high heels still clanking through the halls.
"-It has been reported that the building was used for experimentation uses for water problems and that may have been the cause for the sudden explosion. The explosion has also caused other nearby buildings to be wrecked and the police and the firefighters are doing what they can to light out the fire and find out what exactly had happened in that specified building-" the woman's voice on the news was now abruptly changed into a loud, cartoon song.
Rogue, who was watching the television news with curiousity, immediately looked back around her to see Logan gripping the remote control witha raised eyebrow.
"Ya sure you wanna look at that, Rogue? It's quite distressin' for a kid like ya to see," Logan said with a grin as he threw the remote control at Rogue. Rogue smiled but she switched it back to the news. "We should still see what's going on in the world, Logan!"
"Suit yourself! Anyways, I'm gonna go get a drink," Logan spoke and he winked at Rogue, who nodded and looked back at the news.
Logan walked towards the garage, pushing the doors to let himself through and glanced for his bike, or rather, Scott's bike. Heunsheathed his claws from his right knucklesand walked towards the bike and rode on it. He slotted the silver knives into the keyhole with a swift motion and then sheathed them againas the bike roared to life. Logan grinned and he flicked the button on the bike so the garage door would open.
He sped the bike out of the school, and he felt the strong breeze on him. The moon outside shown down on him brightly as the bike sped through the lit road. The trees blew from the wind being produced from Logan's bike. The bike curved through the road and and just when it was about to curve to the next, something dark threw itself onto the road making Logan stop the bike. The bike screeched to a halt and Logan looked at the road angrily, about to shout an insult to whatever animal or human was in front of him.
The dark thing slowly got up and Logan realised it was a girl. The moonlight spread some light over the girl's face. But shadows hid her body. Logan could clearly see that the girl was frightened and very confused. Logan's anger immediately melted away as he remembered the day when he was the one confused.
"You ok, kid?" Logan shouted and the girl's eyes widened. Her eyes were, strangely enough, rather distorted. Her whites were black and her pupil was white. Logan got off the bike and came closer to the girl, who backed away, towards the flickering light above her. Logan slowly realised the girl was naked and she wore on a metal necklace over her neck. Logan stopped and just stared at the girl. The girl also halted and stared back. Was she like him, an experimented guinea pig who escapedfrom them?
"It's alright," Logan spoke and the girl just tilted her head and blinked her eyes. Logan suddenly felt a strong surge of power knock him off his feet. He gave a painful groan ashis elbow slammed onto theroad.He quickly got up.
"You...Who?" the girl spoke and her eyes just kept staring at Logan.
"My name's Logan. I'm a mutant as well. I won't hurt ya. So let me help ya," Logan spoke and hoped that would get the girl to let her shields down a little.
"You...Dangerous?" the girl questioned and Logan shook his head. The girl than smiled and her eyes softened a little.
"I...Need...Help," she spoke and she pointed to herself. Then she started to come towards Logan and he sort of blushed when he saw her naked form. He quickly got his coat off and gave it to the girl, who eyed the coat as if it was some sort of weapon. Then she took it and looked up at Logan, who just said, "Wear it."
"I...Know...Not..." she said as she handed the coat back to the Logan. Logan sighed and still blushing a bit,hehelped the girl put it on for her. The girl just looked wondrously at the coat and then she shivered. Logan than got out a towel, which fortunately, was in one of his bag. He wrapped it around the girl and tied the end tightly. He looked back and he just had to laugh a little. The girl looked a bit barbaric, in the outfit he had just fitted her.
"I'll get ya somewhere safe," Logan spoke and took the girl's hand, who let him lead her to the bike. The girl rode on the bike and then she looked at Logan, who gave a slight nod and then shouted, "Hold on, kid!"
The school was quiet and dark in most of the rooms. In his office, Professor Charles Xavier sensed something coming towards the school. A mutant, yes, but not normal. Nothing human either, though she/he had the shape of one.
He rolled his wheelie chair out of his room and looked out of the window of the hall to see Logan on his bike with a girl right next to him. Charles looked curiously outside at the girl's rather barbaric clothes and at her face, which kept snapping back and forth as if she was searching for something.
Then suddenly, the girl looked right at the Professor and startled him. The girl blinked at Charles and he felt a rush of her gratitude, warm and tingly. Then as quickly as it came, it disappeared and the girl was hidden now inside the garage. Strange... Charles thought with a curving smile.
A/N: Yes weird ending, as usual, lol. Anyways, I hope you liked it. If you do, please review. (The part where Logan kinda uh... dressed the girl was strange but um.. yeah..)
