About one month later.

Logan was standing very tall in line. His name was called and he stepped forward as well as another guy. He was an X5 who didn't get out. The commanding officer gave the order. The two men faced each other and took a fighting stance. Logan's eyes gleamed in the sun. Now unprotected from his glasses. He didn't need them anymore, like his exoskeleton. Suddenly the X5 threw a punch at him. Logan didn't miss a beat and brought his hand up and caught the X5's hand in his own. He held it there for a few seconds until the X5 twisted away from him. He threw a roundhouse kick that Logan quickly ducked underneath while efficiently sweeping his leg hitting the X5's standing leg so that he crashed to the ground. Logan didn't want it to go farther so while the man was on the ground he pinned him so he couldn't move. He checked over him looking at the damage he had done. Which was none except he had the wind knocked out of him and his pride. He glared up at his opponent. The officer observing shouted orders and they both got up and went back in line. Soon they were dismissed to their rooms. Logan immediately went to his bunk. He waited for sleep to overtake him as usual. Every night he was close to Max. He could see her hear her and touch her. Sleep did not come easy for him though. He reached down absently at the gun bullet scare on his thigh from a while ago. It healed fast. Too fast for any regular human. But then again he wasn't normal anymore.

He heard his door open as another younger man entered. He was a little shorter than Logan and was extremely handsome. He entered with a cocky grin on his face.

"Hey Loggie, how was training today?" Logan rolled his eyes.

"Shut up Alec." Alec put his hands up.

"Hey man I was just inquiring about your day. No need to get all anal and mean about it." Logan sat up at this.

"Look Alec if you knew any better than you would shut up because I really not in the mood for your antics today. K?" Alec shrugged and went over to his own bunk and fell asleep immediately.

Logan usually was more tolerant of his roommate but sometimes he was just so annoying he wanted to break his arm. He came pretty close to it when he was first assigned to room with him. He gave him that name Alec as in smart Alec. He thought it was what Max would've done so he was pleased with himself. But he didn't want any of Alec's witty or smart-ass comments right now. All he wanted to focus on was Max. He still could remember everything about her and he clung to it like nothing else. He would open up the picture in his mind and would run along the curves of her face and her features. He missed her. He missed her so bad it hurt. He was still confident he would get back to her. It didn't matter how but he would. Alec knew all this and he didn't think Logan could possibly get out even if Logan was stronger faster and better than him or any of the X series. Little did Alec know that when Logan wasn't thinking about Max in training, treatments, or solitary he was formulating a plan of escape. He knew he could pull it off but he was planning on using the unsuspecting smart Alec to help him.

Logan was in solitary a lot. They thought that if he wasn't put in there on a regular basis he might just have to many ideas of the outside world and escaping. He never tried. He was waiting. He wanted them to trust him. To let him have enough slack so that he had privileges like the rest. He was gaining them but they weren't completely stupid. Renfro was watching him constantly. He was her main priority. But she knew something was brewing in his head so she kept him under strict surveillance. She knew because of his hesitance to hurt any one else. Of course he could take anyone down now within a second but he was so good at it he didn't have to throw a punch. He easily could and because he didn't she knew the humanity in him was winning over her. It pissed her off but she would continue trying to break him.



A/N I know I know a little too much introspection on what has happened for this and it will be for a few chapters but action is rapidly approaching!!
