Chapter 3



For the next couple of days I avoided him and he avoided me. I guess none of us where eager to plan when we where going to train. But then somehow Mr. Summers heard about it (and God! Remy is going to pay for that!).

Mr. Summers cornered me in the yard, to tell me that he had heard about the extra training and that it was a great idea. He had talked to the professor and we could use the teachers' gym every Monday. I could go tell Wolverine right away. He looked at me as if he where expecting me to jump of joy over this great news. I had no choice but to find Wolverine. With Mr. Summers involved there was no hope of getting out of it.

My Mondays with Wolverine wasn't so bad after all. I guess he felt that since he was stuck with me, a 15-year-old with a stupid power, he might as well get the best out of if. When he taught his regular self-defence classes he had to follow the Professors restrictions, but on Mondays he taught me "The real thing" as he called it. It involved different ways of fighting which common principle was to hurt the other opponent as much as possible, "So you can get the hell out of there Kid. You don't have a healingfactor". He was actually a nice guy in a psycho kind of way. Like he was a total bastard, but you got use to it and began to se the nicer sides of him.

Where Wolverine was so was Rouge they didn't like to be apart. So most of the Mondays she was in the gym to. In the beginning I felt a bit awkward around her, but I got over it. She was a hell of a fighter and like Wolverine nice in an insane kind of way.

She told me more about her mutation, how if she touched someone's skin she would absorb their powers and memories. And that if she acted odd and made me uncomfortable, I should just say so because that meant one of her other personalities where taking over. She also told me that the Magneto part of her was gay and he thought I was " A pretty young man". She saw my expression and almost hurt herself from laughing, then tapped her head lightly and looked at me with her old eyes and said:

" Don't worry Adam. I'm not a paedophile. "

" That's no relief. I'm not a child you know I'm 15-years-old"

That just made her laugh even harder. I guess to someone with memories from world war two, 15 aren't impressing.


I think Mr. Summers felt I needed to have some adult friends in my life and that by some twist of faith I was one of the few kids on the school who's presence didn't piss of Wolverine.
So he kept encouraging us to spend time together and so we did. We had a lot of male bonding. We both liked hockey and we would use each other as an excuse to hide when Rouge had one of her "Erik days".

Oddly enough Erik was most present when she had her period. The David and Logan in her head just kept the hell away at the first hormone induced tantrum leaving only the Marie and Erik in her head to handle things. She told me that her period was the only reason Logan had a calendar.

On those days, I just tried to avoid her, because if she saw me, her/Erik's eyes would light up, she would back me up into a corner and stand very VERY close. Then she/ Erik would give me a lecture about the brotherhood of mutant. She would call me "Young man" and I would think about how Magneto thought I was pretty. Remy saw her do it once and almost pissed himself laughing. On Valentines Day he sent me a fake letter from Magneto, declaring his love for me.

But normally Rouge was nice enough, in the beginning where I was still getting to know them. She kind of functioned as a buffer between Logan and me.

In time I stopped looking at them as someone to be avoided at all costs and started looking at them as a kind of friends. Insane friends, but still friends.

Still, it came as a total chock to me when the professor suggested for them to become my legal guardians.

My parents don't really care about me. After "The garden incident" they handed me a plane ticket, the address to Xaviers and send me on my way. I haven't heard from them since. But it doesn't bother me I don't consider those people my parents anymore. To just dump me like that. When I have children one day I will NEVER do that.

But the sad thing is I was one of the lucky ones, at least I got a plane ticket and a place to go. Some of the kid where just kicked out. Remy can't even remember a life before the streets, he says that his earliest memory is himself at five-years-old stealing from a drunk. He doesn't remember anything before that. Which isn't exactly a sign of blissful toddler years.

The professor broke the fact, that they jumped at the chance at giving me up, to me gently. He said that since Rouge and Logan where married and where not guardians to any other children. They would have a good chance of getting the guardianship of me. What could I do? My own parents didn't want me. I said yes.

I walked out of the office with memories of my parents flooding my mind. All I wanted was to get to my room, lock myself in the bathroom and just cry for hours. I kept my face down so people wouldn't notice the tears and walked strait into Rouge.

She and Logan where outside the office waiting. She took one look at my face and gave a hug.

" I know how you must feel right now Adam. My parent's didn't even bother giving me up they just threw me out." She said holding me.

" I want you to know that for me and Logan, this isn't just a legal thing. We wouldn't do this for any other kid then you"

That just made me cry harder into her shoulder and she just gently stroked my hair while tears rolled down her cheeks.

Logan looked like he wished he could go kill someone to make things better. But then he gave me the biggest surprise of my life. He put his arms around Rouge and me and held us close and then he said it:

" Yeah kid. Fuck the bastards. We'll be your family now and we will never EVER leave you"

" Even if Sabretooth attack?" I half joked.

Logan just lifted Rouge and me of the ground and hugged us tight

" Never"




The End
