Logan stood next to the sleeping girl. She'd been out for a couple of hours now. Everybody was worried but Logan was off his rocket. For some reason her couldn't leave the girl's side until he was sure she was going to be fine.

"Logan," said Xavier rolling up next to him, "I'd like to talk to you about the girl."

"Stop calling her 'the girl'. She has a name," he snapped. "Is she going to wake up?"

"Yes she will wake up. When? I do not know. Jean and I believe she sleeps after healing to recharge herself." Xavier touched Logan's arm to get Logan to look at him. "What is it about her that makes you like this?"

"Like what?" he growled as Xavier gingerly brushed a piece of the girl's dark hair off her face.

"Like that. You literally growl when anybody has come near her including Jean."

"I don't know Charles. I feel like I must protect her, like it is my role in life."

"Like you feel about Rogue?"

"No. With Rogue it's different. I protect her because she has no one to protect her." Logan paused and ran his fingers through his already messy hair. "With this girl it's stronger. More fatherly."

Xavier folded his hands across the arms of his wheelchair. "Rogue has provided me with an interesting theory. It links our black haired mystery girl to both you and Scott."

"Really?" he scoffed. "How could this girl be 'linked' to me or worse yet Mr. One-Eyed?"

"Rogue said that the more time she has spent with the girl the more she is convinced that the three of you are somehow related. She says that the girl looks like a female version of Scott except for the dark hair and silver red-flecked eyes. The girl has a combination of yours and a female version of Scott's personality and attitude towards life." Xavier paused to let Logan take in the information. "I believe Rogue may, perhaps, be correct. Jean and I have noticed some similarities also."

"Her powers are similar too," Jean added walking into the conversation. "She can heal herself, like you Logan, but heal others also. She can start fires like Scott could with a higher intensity shot."

"What about DNA?" Logan asked still unconvinced. "If we share the same DNA then I'll believe it isn't a coincidence."

"The only thing that differs from her DNA and yours is two X chromosomes," Jean pulled a slip of paper out of an envelope, "and this."

"What am I looking at?" he inquired studying the slip of paper.

"The girl's genetic code," supplied Xavier. "The things circled in yellow are attached to the mutant strands. She was injected with something that involves her mutation."

"So what does it do?"

"We haven't figured that out yet," replied Jean.

"Let me know when you do," he dismissed them turning back to the sleeping girl. He held her small hand in his. "I will sleep, Chuck. I just don't want her to wake up alone. You have no idea how it feels."

"In some ways I do, Logan," Xavier shook his head sadly. "How did you know I was going to suggest that you try to sleep?"

Logan shrugged. "Instincts I guess."

I know. I know. Short chapter. Sorry but my fingers are tired of typing. I'll try to make it longer next time.
