Marie rubbed at her temple for the third time in an hour. The headaches, she could handle. She'd gotten used to them over the last few years. The voices, she could handle. Those, she'd gotten used to, as well.
However, having Logan in her head 24/7 was not something she was really trained to handle. Not that she had ever been trained to handle having anyone in her head. Ever.
She was trying to not let Professor Xavier know about her trouble – she'd caused enough trouble at the school already – and to complain that Logan was distracting her when he wasn't around probably wasn't what the man wanted to hear.
Stretching her neck from side to side, Marie looked back to her textbook and was glad that she wasn't being hounded by the other kids. While most of them didn't know what had happened at the Statue of Liberty, they still cut her a pretty wide path.
The dining room would be filling up soon with students coming in for dinner, but she'd be clearing out about that time. It was easier than dealing with the stares and pointing and the whispers. It was bad enough that the voices in her head never stopped, but when the students started in, she got a hissing in stereo.
Taking a deep breath, she reread the paragraph and waited for Logan to make some smartass comment. Hearing nothing, she sighed and moved on to the next page. Halfway through the text, she heard a comment. Only problem was that it wasn't Logan.
It was Magneto.
