Landon turns in his sleep struggling against the images running through his mind.
There were bars, a voice repeating "Devil's children", blood on walls, metal claws
covered in blood, and the sound of running feet. He finally struggles into
conscienceness and sits up breathing heavily. He was covered in sweat, but he got up
and quickly pulled on clothes before exiting his dorm. Landon walks outside still
thinking about the images that had awoken him. Were they memories as Xavier said
I'd see or just nightmares?he wonders walking over to an old tree and sitting down
against it. He closes his eyes and leans back listening to the sound of distant voices
and also distant music. "Maybe I just need a drink...Do I drink?"he asks standing and
walking out of the gate heading toward town. Yeah, I think I do....I'll just go have a drink,
he nods deciding it as he continues walking. He was almost into the bar when he
heard the sound of voices one sounding very familiar not far off. He runs toward the
sound and stops just beside her. "Can't stay out of trouble can you Rogue?"he asks
exiting his blades. "I just went for a walk; I wasn't expecting to run into a mutan hating
gang,"she replies. "It's never expected with you,"he replies watching them turn and run
off fast. Rogue was a year younger then him, but her become almost his only friend at
the institute since he'd awoke. "More images?"she questions walking with him as he
approached the first place he saw. He shrugs in answers and goes inside with her
and over to the bar,"What do you want?" "Nuthin', just keepin' an eye on you,"she
replies sitting with him but looking around. People were packed heavily around and she
appeared worried. "Relax, some...if you kill anyone we can blame the smoke,"he tells
her waving some smoke away. Too much smoke, but this feels like I've been here
before.....His thoughts were interrupted by a voice,"Landon!" Landon shakes his head
and turns to face the person. A girl of around his age with kind spikey brownish-green
hair and hazel eyes shood behind him. She looked familiar to him, but the cloak like
jacket she wore covered everything else about her. "Landon, I've been looking for you.
Takira and I were worried about what happened between you and Candra. Is she
dead?"the girl asks in a rush with a smile now. "Uh, do I know you?"he questions
confused as Rogue only listens to them. "It's me, Tara...part of the Brotherhood of
Mutans where you're employed? We work together?"she says it as if he should know
what she's talking about. "I don't work for the brotherhoood or recognize you." "Fine,
try this,"Tara says before leaning up and kissing him. He puts his arms around her
waist and returns her kiss as if he'd done it a thousand times. "You seem to know that
pretty damn well,"Tara tells him pulling back from him. "Did we have a relationship?"
Landon questions even more confused now. She stares at him,"What do you mean did
we? I thought we still do." "I need to think...."he turns his attention to Rogue,"Let's get
back." She nods and stands as they both head out. "Landon, what do I tell Takira and
what about us?"Tara asks catching one of his arms as he's just about to exit. "I have
no ideal who Takira is or what us is,"he answers pulling away after touching her face
lightly with one of his hands. He felt sick as he walked away from her, but didn't know
why. "Do you recognize her?"Rogue asks walking back with him. "Not her or the
brotherhood, but her name and that kiss...I've kissed her so many times before but I
don't remember them......"
Tara lay on her bed after getting back to the brotherhood staring at the
ceiling. Takira was sound asleep in Landon's room, but she couldn't do the same.
Why doesn't he remember anything?she wonders with a sigh closing her eyes. "I wish
I knew what was going on in his mind,"she mutters but smiles remembering how he
reacted to her kiss,"At least he remembers that."
