"Your past… I can help you remember." I sighed and looked back up at Logan who was staring at me as though I had lost it.
"How can you help me find my past?" He growled taking a step towards me.
I took a step back thinking I should probably make a run for it but realized that the door was closed and he was probably a lot faster than me.
I swallowed, "I-I know your past," I stuttered while muttering in my head, 'Oh crap! Oh crap!'
Logan shook his head, "You know my past?"
"I uh, don't know if it's right though… 'cause I mean… it could be wrong." I smiled nervously rubbing the back of my neck. "Prove it." He took another step towards me.I looked around, "Prove it?" I squeaked this was defiantly not one of my better days.
"Yea, tell me something I already know so that I know yer tellin' the truth. Somethin' that only I would know." He folded his arms over his chest looking mighty confident that he had caught me in a lie.
"You and Captain America were the ones to blow up the first Rebirth thing…" I trailed off at the look I got from him and quickly took a step backwards.
"What are ya? A mind reader!? Ya readin' my mind!?" He growled unsheathing his claws.
I squeaked quickly taking several steps backwards tripped over my feet and fell on my back, slamming my elbow onto the metal floor in the process. I squeezed my eyes shut in pain cradling my elbow as I sat on the floor.
"No." I said softly opening my eyes finding that Logan was no longer in the room with me. I bowed my head and stood up feeling like I had just made the worst mistake in my life.

"So… Vhat happened?" Kurt asked in his thick German accent as I entered the T.V room where he and Kitty were sitting watching some kind of movie.
"I don't want to talk about it." I grumbled flopping down on the couch beside Kitty.
"You in like that much trouble?"
I shook my head looking up at Kitty, "I wasn't at first but I think I am now."
"Vhat did you do?" Kurt came over and sat on the arm of the couch next to me.
"Something stupid. Look I really don't want to talk about it." I sighed leaning my head back against the couch.
Kitty and Kurt looked at each other and shrugged then went back to watching their movie.
~Ripley, I need to speak with you in my office~ My head jerked up and I looked around for a moment before it dawned on me that I was supposed to go to Professor Xavier's office.
"Great." I mumbled walking out of the room without so much as a 'goodbye' to either Kitty or Kurt.
~*~
I stood out side the door to Professor Xavier's office just staring at the doorknob; hesitantly I reached for it and opened the door. As I had feared Logan stood in the middle of the room, arms crossed and angry looking as usual.
"Ah, Ripley," Professor Xavier folded his hands over his desk as I walked in, "Logan here has been telling me quite a bit about you."
"He thinks I'm crazy," I sighed, "Guess I don't blame him." Professor Xavier looked at me sadly and Logan snorted as he walked over to the window and peered outside it.
"You say that we're a cartoon?" The Professor asked coming out from behind his desk and wheeled to the center of the room where Logan had previously stood, "Why's that?"
"I don't know," I lied deciding that it was the next best thing, "Guess I'm still upset about my father's death. It's hard you know?"
He nodded sympathetically and I caught the look Logan had given me from the corner of my eye before he went back to staring out the window, "There's something yer not tellin' us kid," He growled staring at something outside, "How'd ya know about the Rebirth project?"
"Yes, I would also like to know that." Professor Xavier nodded folding his hands under his chin.
I looked around nervously rubbing the back of my neck, "I uh… overheard someone talking about it. Kurt I think…"
"Elf?" Logan muttered turning towards me, "Elf didn't know that me and Captain America blew up the first Rebirth program."
~You were telling the truth weren't you? ~ I looked over at Professor Xavier and nodded.
Logan opened his mouth to say something when Scott came running in suddenly, "Professor! There's trouble!" He shouted frantically.
"Calm down Scott, what's the problem?"
"It's Jean! She came back and has taken Kurt with her!" Scott's voice had calmed a bit but I could still hear the fear in it.
Logan looked over at the Professor who nodded to him and he took off.
"We're not through with this kid!" He shouted over his shoulder at me as he followed Scott out of the room to the X-jet.
'Jean's taken Kurt where…?' I thought to myself then it dawned on me…
"Oh no. Jean has been stealing those rings hasn't she?" I turned looking down at the Professor who looked up at me in surprise.
"Yes she has. What do you know about this?"
I shook my head, had no one been listening to me?
"I know everything!" I cried out throwing my hands up in the air for emphasis, "She's going after the second ring isn't she?"
Professor Xavier's eyes widen slightly, "Yes, tell me what's going on Ripley."
I shake my head trying to think back to the episode I had seen where Jean possessed Kurt and can't remember much.
"Where's the computer room? I have a feeling Beast knows some more information on the rings."
