The next morning, a loud knock on the door woke Megan up.

"Wake up kid!" Logan shouted on the other side.

She immediately jumped out of the bed, and started dressing up in a hurry. Logan knocked the door again.

"I am coming, " Megan shouted, but Logan knocked once again.
"Stop knocking like a maniac, I said I'm coming," she quickly tied her hair in a high ponytail in a desperate attempt to hide how messed up she looked.
"I hope you are not here to talk about last night, I need coffee first!" She said while opening the door.
"I'm not, the Professor wants to see us in the lab right now, let's go." He said and immediately moved away.

It took her a couple of seconds to realize what Logan had just said.

"Wait, what? Both of us? What happened?" She asked surprised while running behind him.
"Yes, both of us and I don't know, you tell me?"
"Why would I know?" She fired back almost offended.
"If you don't know, then I guess we are going to find out."

"Good morning miss Wild, Logan." The professor greeted them when they entered the room.
"Hello Megan, please come in." Storm said.
"Is everything alright?" she asked while standing in front of them.

Logan on the other hand walked over to the back of the room and sat on the desk that was there.

"Miss Wild we have some questions that we would like to ask you," the Professor started.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked again, her anxiety evident on her face.
"I don't think there is any reason to worry. Have you ever heard of Adamantium?"

At the sound of Adamantium Logan stood up from the desk and looked at Megan with such intensity that she felt her blood freeze inside her veins.

"A.. Ad..Adamantium? " She stuttered under the pressure. "No never heard of it."

She looked back at him hopping that this would calm him down, but it was clear that Logan was getting angrier with every passing second.

"Adamantium is a very dense, artificial, iron-based alloy that is virtually indestructible," the Professor explained. "Rare and expensive to create and manipulate, it is why it is a top secret in the US government," he paused and looked at Logan.

It was clear that Logan was at his limit, almost ready to burst out of rage, which made the Professor wondering if having him in the room for this conversation was a good idea.

"Doesn't ring any bells, I'm sorry. But what do I have to do with that?"

This whole situation was creating more confusion than anything else in her mind. But what was bothering her the most was the fact that she couldn't understand why this Adamantium thing was such a big deal to Logan.

"I ran the test we talked about yesterday. The results revealed that your daggers are made of Adamantium." Storm finally explained.
"Where did you find those blades kido?" Logan roared from the other side of the room while walking towards Megan.

Terrified Megan took a step back, she had figured that Logan wasn't the sweet type of guy, but she never thought that she could do something that would infuriate him like that. After all three days ago they didn't even know each other.

"Logan Stop it!" Storm yelled at him and put herself in his way.
"Don't worry he won't hurt you." The Professor tried to reassure Megan when he saw the panic in her eyes.
"There is a reasonable explanation for Logan's reaction.A long time ago, a man called Stryker performed an experiment on him and bonded Adamantium to his skeleton. "

Megan emotions immediately turned from fear to compassion.

"My God, why would anybody do something like that? "
"Really, you want us to believe that you don't know nothing?" Logan yelled at her again, before she had the chance to feel more sorry about him.

It took her a couple of seconds before answering. She didn't like confrontations and the fact that Logan was screaming at her and implying that she was withholding some kind of information, was starting to annoying her.

"I said I'm sorry, but no, I never heard of Adamantium nor this Stryker guy," she said as calmly as possible.
"You're lying!" Logan creamed and pushed Storm out of his way."Adamantium is top secret, only a few people know the complete formula. If you possess it, you have to know about it . You know something and you are lying. Tell me what you know? Who are you?".

By the time he finished his last sentence he was standing in front of her, his face only ten centimetres away from hers, looking deeply into her eyes trying to intimidate this was the straw that broke the camel's back. She was not going to stay there and be accused of something that she didn't even know about.

"I told you it was my father's gift, I don't know anything else. You know what? Back off! Nobody gets to call me a liar. You don't know me. I am not going to stay here being accused for something I didn't do. " She yelled back.

Worried that this situation might get ugly, she stormed out of the room in an attempt to stop the fight. But Logan wasn't ready to let go.

"Where you do you think you are going?" Logan said and started running after her.
"Logan leave her alone! You won't get anything by pushing her like that." Storm tried to stop him, but the professor intervened.
"Let him go Ororo."
"But, professor we can't let him act like that. I think she is telling the truth, but he is not going to leave her alone until he gets something out of her. I don't think this is what she needs after all she been through."
The Professor smiled, "She is going to be ok, trust me. Let them dance."

A couple of meters down the hallway Logan reached Megan, grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the wall.

" Leave me alone, I told you I know nothing! And you know what? Even if I knew, do you really think that buy yelling and threatening me like this I would trust you enough to tell you anything? Seriously? You are acting like a psycho." She said before Logan had the opportunity to fire anything at her.

"Trust me? Really, is that your problem ? That you don't trust me ? I fucking saved your life and brought you here so you can be safe. Is this not enough for you? " He kept yelling, his hands on the wall on either side of Megan's head.

"I didn't ask for your help and you will not use that as a way to make me feel that I owe you something! And for your information, no is not enough. Trust takes time and patience to know the other person, and since that day the only time we said anything to each other is today and the only thing you have done until now is yelling at me and calling me a liar. So back off and leave me alone!"

She passed under Logan's arm and ran towards the elevator. Surprisingly enough Logan let her go. Megan's words made Logan think that maybe he was wrong to talking to her like that and maybe he should give her the benefit of the doubt.

In the meantime, their fight had caught Colossus and Kitty's attention from the gym. They were standing in the hallway looking at Logan judgmentally. .

"Show is over, go back to whatever you were doing!" Logan said when he realized that they had seen the whole scene. He gave a hard punched into the wall to try to calm his nerves, and returned to the lab.

"Seriously professor, you are not going to do anything about that?" Logan said as soon as he got back.
"What do you want me to do Logan?" The Professor calmly replied.
"I don't know, bring her back here, read her mind and see what she is hiding?"
"She will talk when and if she feels ready. I know that she is not a threat and that she respects us. Please consider the fact that she might really not know nothing about Stryker. Maybe her father really kept everything a secret."
"She knows something, I can feel it and I want to know what!"
"If you are so convinced why don't you just try to gain her trust as she told you." Storm jumped in the conversation. "What I understood is that she just needs a little more time to get to know you and trust you."
"Why should I gain her trust? Is it not something that you or the Professor usually do? "
"Because if she wanted me to be that person, she would have said so. You're the one that saved her and brought her here, you are the one with whom she feels connected. "
"Yeah right," he said sarcastically.
"Storm is right, let her calm down for today, and tomorrow maybe you should try to talk to her, but nicely this time, ok?"

Logan didn't answer. Deep down he knew that he handled the situation badly and that Storm was right, but he wasn't ready to admit it. He didn't say anything else and just walked out of the room.

Storm exhaled "What what intense! Professor, why did you let him act like that?"
"Because I have a feeling about those two. I don't know exactly what time will bring but they could help each other in some way. It is difficult to believe seeing them fighting like this but they can handle each other. I like her, I liked her temper and the way she stood up to Logan. I was impressed! " He laughed.
"So you really didn't see if she knows something?"
"Oh no, I did. I would never take the risk having somebody that could be connected to Stryker in my school. She really doesn't know anything about him nor about those who are after her. But she suspects that her father was involved in something, and she might know where to find answers. "
"So why didn't you try to make her tell us where we can find them?"
"Because, she wants to trust Logan and I believe that this is a great opportunity for him to come close to somebody again. As I told you I believe that the can help each other in their own way."

Back in her room Megan tried to cool down by punching and kicking the walls. She didn't know if she was frustrated because of Logan's behaviour or because deep down she wanted to be able to talk to him but she didn't feel ready. She sat down on the floor, her back on the door when suddenly somebody knocked on the door.

"God damn it, just leave me alone!"

Nobody answered and she thought for a moment that whoever that was, they left. But right at that moment Kitty passed through the wall and appeared just next to her.

"You know that the fact that you can pass through walls doesn't mean that you can come in whenever you want right? " She looked at Kitty with fire in her eyes.
"I know, but I really need to tell you something about Logan." She said hoping that it would be an good enough excuse.
"I really don't want to talk about it " Megan replied.
"I don't want to talk about what happened, I just want to tell you a couple of things about him."

Megan wasn't in the mood right now to listen to anything that had to do with him, but Kitty continued before Megan had the chance to ask her to leave.

"Look, I believe that in our lives we all need somebody to trust and talk with," Megan rolled her eyes hoping to make her stop, but Kitty cut her off "just listen to me, and then I will leave you alone. Ok?"
Megan took a deep breath "Ok, I am listening."

Kitty sat down next to her.

"I heard you saying that trust takes time and patience, and you are absolutely right. For some reason it looks like you really want to trust him, but his character won't make it easy for you. He is distant, he looks like he doesn't care, rules don't apply to him and a lot of other things that I am not going to go into right now. But you need to understand that he has been through a lot. He has been through hell and back and lost people that he loved. Despite that, I've seen him put his life in danger to save us, caring in his own way for all of us and at the end of the day, he is always there then we need him. What I am trying to say is that I can guarantee you that trusting him is the best decision that you can make. Just talk to him and you will see."

She stopped for just an instance to see Megan's reaction, but she looked too confused to say or do anything.

"Ok, I am going to leave you alone now, just promise me that you will think about what I told you ok?"
"I will," she replied, looking a lot more relaxed.

Kitty stood up to leave the room.

"Kitty?" Megan stopped her.
"Yes?"
"Thank you!"

Kitty smiled knowing that her monologue did in fact have some effect on her, and left the room.
