Chapter 2
"Would you care to explain how you know him?" Hank said glancing over at Logan seeing his eyes opening so he let it out for now.
"Uh..what the hell was that all about." Logan mumbled holding his head. Then he looked over to see Alex and his claws came out. Hank stood in front Alex and growled at him.
"Leave her be Logan, she used to live here you know? That's why she came here." He said then turned his back on him.
"Who was the girl that grabbed me? And what the hell did she do to me?" Alex said sitting on the edge of the bed. Before Hank could say anything Logan did.
"That's Rouge and she hates people that hurt others. She's able to take other's power for a limited amount of time." He said then putting on a shirt and walking out. Hank was getting ready to ask Alex to explain herself but she slipped out before he caught her.
"Whew." Then she saw Rouge and was getting ready to go in a different direction but she stopped her.
"Sorry about last night but I don't take kindly to people just coming in here." And in that moment Rouge reminded her or herself when she was that age. A smile appeared on her face then looked around.
"It's alright I was the same way." She said walking by her then looking out the window to see three stones all in a row. Alex ran down the hall then down a flight of stairs and most of the kids just stared at her. When she saw the front of the stones she fell to the ground and punched it. Sparks flew out of th ground then she looked up at the Professors only.
"Why did you leave? I'm sorry." She whispered then looked at Jean's and Scott's. It made her cry seeing that people she held close had died and she wasn't even there for them. She was gone doing her own thing trying to be normal. It was selfish but she was young and foolish and now knowing things she knew she hated herself. Her black hair covered her tear covered face. Her eyes flashed a purple color then went back to hazel. Then she heard some people coming out of the school. She looked over the head stone to just see a few kids talking about the brotherhood. She just caught a few bits and pieces but enough to worry her.
"Rumors..that's it.." Alex said looking at them knowing they didn't hear her but they saw her. Some of their eyes had shown a slight fear then they quickly went off through the bushes. Then her eyes looked up at a window to see Logan looking at her. There eyes held for a moment then Alex broke it to go back inside. Apparently the kids were in classes now and what was there to do.
"Sooo..bored." She said then going into the living room to lay on the couch. Her eyes just stared at the ceiling. Though they were now all red and puffing from her crying. Her eyes closed thinking about the past. How stupid she was but at the same time meeting Logan for the first time. Dancing at the bar and serving people whiskey but not him. He would just come in and sit and watch. He would just stare at her while she worked until one day she sat next to him.
"What are you doing?" A voice said and Alex popped her eyes open to see someone looking at her.
"Why are you even here? You attacked Logan and you make yourself at home?" This young man was getting really upset with her.
"Well if he could control his temper then that would have never happened. What's your name?" She asked him as she sat up. But when she sat up he grabbed her arm and she started to feel cold. Then she kicked the kid off of her and stood over him. But then everyone else came in and looked at her.
"I can see I'm really not wanted around here so I'll just leave." She said but then Storm grabbed her as she glared at all the students. They all backed away and felt slightly bad then Storm looked at Alex.
"How about you tell them who you are?" She asked Alex then she left the room. Alex looked at them all and sat back down on the couch.
"I'm Alexis Rose Stone but you all can call me Alex. I came here at the age of 12 and at the age of 18 I went off on my own. I was about to get by, by dancing in a bar and everything else." She stopped for a moment then saw that Logan came into the room. Her eyes darted away from him then looked back at the kids.
"I'll tell you more some other time I'm not ready yet to tell everything." Her eyes glanced at Logan then walked out the front door. He ran after her and grabbed her arm then she looked at him.
"Rough hands..just like always.." She thought then heard him starting to say something.
"How do you know my name?" He asked gripping a bit tighter.
"Wouldn't you like to know." Alex said pulling away from him then looking around. There was nothing but silence for a moment.
"Don't push me because I was nice the first time but the next time." He said putting one of his claws right on her neck. But Alex wasn't bothered by it, in fact she pushed against it slightly. He looked at her strangely then retracted his claw.
"I'm not scared of you I'm really not. I can do whatever the fuck I want." She said then leaned up and kissed him. He shoved her away to the point she fell down.
"I only loved one person and she's dead." He said glancing over at the head stones. Alex just then realized he loved Jean but in fact that was not the only person. Part of her wanted to slap him but it wasn't his fault he didn't remember. Well yes and no but she didn't hate him. She ran into the garage and got on one of the motorcycles and jump started it. She sped off as she saw Logan yelling for taking it. She didn't give a fuck about this anymore. It was stupid that she went back there but she would come back just later when she was happier.
