Chapter Two: Wolf
When Wolf woke up, she saw white. She was lying on a table and machines where hooked up to her, slowly beeping. She also saw that she was alone. Where am I? She thought to herself. Then, her keen sense of smell picked up on a scent, the scent of the woman whom she'd seen at the door.
It was a moment before the woman came into the room. When she came in, Wolf said, "Who are you and where's my friend, Luna?"
"How did you know I was coming?" the woman asked.
"I smelled your scent, so I knew you were on your way in here." Wolf replied. "It's one of my mutant powers."
The woman smiled. "My name is Doctor Jean Grey." She said. "Your friend, Luna is doing just fine. She's in another room. I just finished treating her. She has dehydration, mild hypothermia, and exhaustion in addition to a few bruises and a hurt leg, but she'll recover. She'll be up and about tomorrow."
Luna smiled. "Oh, wonderful."
That's when Professor Xavier came in. "Ah," he said. "You must be Wolf. Jean told me that you and your companion where looking for me."
Wolf sat up so she could see him. "You must be Professor Xavier." She said. "My mom told me about you. She said that you could help me."
"Help you with what?" Charles asked.
"Help me find my dad." Wolf said. "He's a mutant, too. I've never met him and I don't know much about him, but I know he's still alive. I have to find him…and tell him that my mom is gone."
"How did your mom die?" Jean asked.
"She was shot in the heart." Wolf looked like she was about to cry. "Which is strange because Mom had a healing factor. She could heal herself, but I guess that her body couldn't catch up to the bullet and she died in my arms. It was horrible. But that's not why Luna was so banged up. She and I were nearly killed by a mob after I extracted a little revenge on Mom's murderer."
"Meaning?" Charles prompted.
"I killed him…in broad daylight." Wolf admitted, looking unbelievably guilty. "With these." There was a "snikt" sound and four adamantium claws, two on each hand, came out of her hands. "I was born with them. I don't know how. I just was."
"Adamantium?" Jean asked.
"Possibly." Charles replied.
"I didn't really want to hurt anyone." Wolf said. "I was upset and angry and I acted way out of line and I killed someone!"
"You were grieving." Charles said. "That's understandable."
"Tell us what you know about your dad." Jean said. "Maybe we can help you find him."
Wolf brightened. "Really?! Oh, thank you!" she cried. "Ok. Now, I don't know a whole lot. But here's what I do know: he has powers like Mom's, an adamantium skeleton like hers, a healing factor and he goes by the name of Wolverine."
Charles and Jean exchanged looks.
"That's all I know." Wolf said. "I know its not much, but…"
"Don't you worry about it." Charles said. "Jean, why don't you show her around and take her to the room she'll be sharing with her friend Luna?"
"All right. C'mon Wolf."
With that, the three left the room.
