Whisper by Evanescence
The silence did not end until Scott pulled Logan aside. "Someone has to see what's up with Angel," he said. He just looked at Logan.
"You know what, you're probably right. Good luck with that." Logan was in no consoling mood and attacked Scott with his usual sarcasm. Logan was slightly peeved he had known less about her than Magneto, to say the least.
Scott stopped Logan before he could sidestep the other. Scott kept his voice low, respecting the silence. "Logan, do you think she's even let me with in a five foot radius of her? Would you just grow up and do something that helps someone else other than yourself?"
"You just want her in a god mod so that we can interrogate her."
Scott exhaled loudly through his nose but smirked. "So, it's a 'we' again?" He walked away as Logan stared after him, and then stared at the wall in front of him, not seeing it at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Requel held on to the windowsill as if it was the last steady thing in her world. Everything was spinning but the pace was even faster in her head. She kept replaying the memories she had just gotten back, especially the deaths of her family. Metal was flying, cars toppled on top of them, they were attacked by this huge lion that stood on its hind legs. He looked more human than lion but the difference between either of them wasn't enough.
Requel closed her eyes and tried to figure how all this fit in with the new memories she formed when her head had been empty. It didn't.
There was a knock at her door. She only turned slightly to watch it open. Logan sized her up as he closed the door behind him. Nothing could have warned him for what did happen.
Requel flung herself at Logan, hiding her face in his shirt. All he could do was wrap his arms around her, no matter how uncomfortable it might have been. Though, it wasn't as uncomfortable as he thought it would be. He had a blubbering woman clinging to him but it was more than that. She trusted him and that's all Logan needed to know. He knew she didn't trust easily but to her, this was the only place that felt safe. It was now that she could let down. Tears streaked her face as she clung to his shirt.
Requel pulled away to look up at him and he brushed away the tear streaks on her cheeks with his thumb, wondering what the hell was happening. All he could see was her. His thoughts flickered to Jean as he bent his head, but only before their lips touched. He realized then that Requel had not made him forget Jean. She wasn't even replacing Jean; Requel was a totally new experience.
