The girl with claws -
Chapter 2-
I last updated this in 2013 ;_;
Here's your update, only five years late!
(I swear the next wait will be shorter!)
Logan leads me through the hallways, and I scrunch up my nose, the scent of death overflowing my oversensitive nostrils, I sniff, also taking in the scent of the feral male, slightly musky, with the aroma of cigar ask surrounding him. Level 5 mutant, not someone I particularly want to get on the wrong side of!
The clean up crew is here already, injured students being rushed to the onsite medbay, and the few deceased being taken away on stretchers. There's a slight twinge in my heart as I know I'm partly responsible for all of this.
"How long have you been with Stryker?" Logan enquires, I pause, looking down the the floor as we walk. "At least ten years, he captured me, removed my memories and then put this goddamn adamantium on my bones. I was trained to fight by Wade Wilson, I know there are others working for him, but I never met them, I was Strykers own personal project." I breathe, my breathes coming out stuttered and shaky. I didn't want to admit it, but I almost enjoyed the thrill of the killing, the screams, the pleading.
"Shit, you've had it rough." The feral replies, there's a stagnant silence after his reply, for I didn't know how to respond.
We arrive at a large wooden door and Logan turns to me "Chucks ordered everyone in here to meet you, they're all a little shaken up from tonight so... be careful" he advises, I nod, and with a sigh, we enter the room.
An older bald man in a wheelchair is the first thing my eyes see, he's sat in the middle of the room, with everyone else around him. A woman with shoulder length red hair stands next to him, her arm clinging onto a man with weird looking glasses. Next to him stands a shorter girl, a white streak running through her hair. On the other side stands a darker skinned woman with stunning short white hair. I smile nervously, not used to being around so many people.
"Welcome to my school, I am Professor Charles Xavier, this is Jean and Scott, next to Scott we have Marie and over there is Ororo." The bald man exclaims, a kind, warm and welcoming smile on his face which calms me a little.
I nod my head down, "It's nice to meet you all. I'm... Weapon 12" I almost whisper. There's a wave of sadness spreading around the room, I can smell it, the pity. I frown ever so slightly, Logan being the only one to pick up on my irritation due to him also being a feral. He shoots me an understanding look before starting to usher me out the room.
"Take her to the guest room Logan, I'm sure she's in need of rest. We can discuss living arrangements and her new name in the morning. Have a good night ma'am" Xavier remarks. I briefly smile at him, and walk to my new room with Logan guiding the way.
We reach the door and pause "Here it is, If you uh, need anything I'm two doors down, Alright?" he drawls. I nod a little, and head into my room.
the first thing I do is open the window, letting the cool night breeze flow into the room, I breathe heavily, letting the breeze cool my face, there's nothing better than being outside, in the open air, feeling the grass between your feet as you run.
I sigh, bringing myself out of my daydream, and head towards the en suite bathroom, in desperate need of a shower.
Strykers POV -
The phone rings in Strykers office, He frowns and picks it up.
"Sir... Mission failed, they overpowered us.. I only just made it out alive, And.. and weapon 12 sir, she's turned on us, the bitch is still in there hiding from us!"
Stryker stands up, and punches his desk in anger, creating a slight dent in the desk and hurting his hand, most likely dislocating a finger or two.
"Shit. Time for my back up plan"
"A..And what's that sir?"
Stryker smirks, knowing the kitty cat can't hide in there forever.
"We send in Sabretooth"
Short one there to get back into it.
Hopefully this'll still get some reads even though I updated so late haha!
I'll be starting on the next chapter in the next day or so.
