Getting To Know You
---------------
Ghost ran to Logan's side and knelt beside him, tentatively putting her hand on his back. She didn't know what to do, so she just sat there, speechless.
Another person came in through the open door, seconds later. It was Ororo, she recognized. The woman stood in the doorway, looking at Logan with her eyes wide, then shifting her gaze to Ghost as if looking for answers. "I heard yelling, what's going on?"
Ghost looked up at the woman. "I have no fuckin' clue." she blurted out.
Despite the girl's choice of words, Ororo could see the concern in her eyes, noticing the slight crack of her voice. "I'll go get Professor Xavier and Doctor McCoy." Without another word, Ororo quickly left to get some help, and maybe some answers.
Ghost sighed. 'Great. Leave the clueless one here...' she patted Logan's back sympathetically as he still sat there, clutching his head. "Logan?" she called again, more softly this time. It seemed to be calming him down and he relaxed his hands around his head.
Logan groaned and started to sit up more. He closed his eyes and let out a slow, controlled breath. "Somethin'...in my head...I think it's back."
Ghost had no idea what he was talking about, but only hoped that the help was coming soon.
As if on cue, Ororo came back in the room with Xavier and Doc McCoy trailing behind.
"Logan? Are you alright?" Charles asked him slowly as he neared his old friend.
Logan just shook his head with a grunt. "Headaches...."
Charles looked to the side thoughtfully, then his eyes focused back on Logan. "You think this has something to do with the Weapon X chip that we removed from your brain." It was a statement, not really a question. The Professor couldn't help looking into his friend's mind a little, when something was obviously so troubling to him.
Logan just nodded, looking as if he were almost ashamed.
"We'll need to run some tests." Hank spoke up, walking towards Logan and helping him up.
Ghost stood slowly, her hand still rested on her brother's back. "What's goin' on? What are you all talkin' about? What's...'Weapon X'?"
Logan glanced at the Professor, his eyes narrowed slightly. "You hafta tell 'er Chuck. It's better if she knows."
Xavier nodded, looking to Ororo and Hank. "Help Logan to the infimary," he glanced back at Ghost. "Come with me to my office, I need to show you something, and an explanation is in order."
Ghost furrowed her brows and followed Professor Xavier as he turned his wheelchair and began leaving the room. She shoved her hands in her pockets, watching the floor as she walked and wondering what the hell was going on, and if she really wanted to know.
---------------
After a very long explanation, and somewhat of a demonstration by Cerebro, Ghost knew more than she wanted to know about the Weapon X program. She was disgusted by what they had done to Logan, and the thought of someone being so cruel as to experiment on mutants made her even more bitter. Unbeknownst to her though, Professor Xavier hadn't mentioned that the vehicle that struck her was from Weapon X. It was too much information at one time, and he felt it best for Logan to decide when she should know, or even if she needed to know.
Ghost shifted in her chair, staring at Professor Xavier behind his desk. "So...didn't you say you removed that chip in Logan's brain that made him act all crazy and shit?"
Charles tried to ignore her crude words for the moment and replied, "Yes, we did. Or atleast...I thought it was completely removed." He leaned forward against his desk, looking at Ghost intently. "We won't be sure until we run some tests. But if the chip is still there...we'll make sure to remove it completely this time."
Ghost leaned back for a second, then stood up and made for the door. "I'm going to see him."
"Wait." Charles reached out to stop her, wheeling his chair from around the desk. When he got into the hallway where Ghost was, he stopped by her side and smiled sympathetically. "It might be best if you get some sleep, it's rather late. You can see him in the morning."
Ghost just frowned, her upper lip curling slightly. With a barely audible growl, she said, "Fine. But anythin' happens...you come get me."
Charles nodded, turning his chair towards the elevator so he could go down to the lower levels.
