I sat straight up tumbling out of bed with the sheets wrapped tightly around my legs. I let out a startled yelp as I landed in a heap on the floor.
"What the heck…" I whispered wiping the sweat from my forehead as I sat up and looked around.
I could have sworn I just heard someone whisper in my ear, 'Please wake up' but the scary thing was the voice sounded familiar… I swallowed climbing shakily back up onto my bed and laid back down. That voice… it had been my father's and it had sound so clear as though he were standing next to me.
I shivered pulling up the blankets around me and stared at the ceiling still feeling slightly creeped out by the 'dream'. After 10 minutes of staring at the ceiling (not blinking) I started to realize that I was thirsty, and that required going downstairs to the kitchen… in the dark. After another 5 minutes of debating whether or not I was really that thirsty I decided that I was and hesitantly got up.
I made it into the kitchen in one piece and flipped on the lights. I sighed in relief after drinking a glass and a half of water then set the glass down in the sink.
"What are ya doin' up kid?" I spun around spotting Logan in the doorway.
I sighed trying to calm my nerves once again, I hadn't even heard him come in!
"Jeeze you scared me!" I rubbed my temples, "I couldn't sleep."
Logan nodded walking the rest of the way into the kitchen and sat down at the table, "Me either." He admitted after a minute.
"Nightmares?" I asked already knowing the answer as I sat down across from him at the table.
He looked up at me as though he were debating whether or not he could trust me, "Yea," He said softly then leaned back against his chair with a sigh, "Tell me kid, ya said you knew my past, what else do ya know?"
I shrugged, figures he wouldn't forget me saying that, "I dunno," I mumbled quietly staring down at the table, "You have nightmares where you're back at that place where you're getting the adimantium laced to your bones." I looked up at him trying to ignore the look he was giving me.
"Then you know who did this to me?" He growled popping out his claws with that infamous 'SNIKT'.
I frowned slightly shaking my head, "I don't really remember who put the adimantium on your claws, but I think you killed him… er… someone that was there."
Logan sheathed his claws frowning slightly in what seemed like confusion, "On my claws…?"
'Oh this is good.' I thought to myself sarcastically running my hand through my hair, "You have bone claws underneath the adimantium."
His eyes widened briefly as he stared at me, I had said too much and too much could be a bad thing. I was about to say something when he stood up and sniffed the air.
I raised an eyebrow trying to figure out what he was up too, "What?" I asked at last and he silenced me with a glare before turning off the lights.
A minute later someone walked in hesitated in the doorway for a moment before going on their way. It was silent for a couple of minutes then the lights came back on.
"What was that about? And who was that?" I asked now on my feet as Logan peered out into the hallway sniffing the air.
He grunted then turned to me, "It was Rogue… something doesn't smell right." He growled.
"You don't think…"
"Yea. She's been taking the other's powers."
"Logan! We have to stop her!" I shouted while waving my arms around.
He raised an eyebrow at me and I slowly put my arms down feeling rather embarrassed.
"We will do nothing. You will go back to bed and let me handle this."
I glared at him; he had no idea what he was getting himself into, "Feeling cocky today, huh?" I muttered under my breath as I walked passed.
"What was that?" He growled.
I turned around and smiled at him, "Nothing… nothing at all… You do know that by now Rogue has probably found Mystique and they're on their way to the Brotherhood's house?"
Logan took off out of the house while shouting over his shoulder, "Wake up the others!"
I snickered to myself as I made my way to the stairs, apparently Logan had forgotten that he was still only in his boxers… boy were the Brotherhood in for a surprise.
