Chapter 6: Let the rumors fly
It had been a almost a week since Calypso Oyama a.k.a. Lash a.k.a. Wolverine's daughter had arrived at Xavier's school for the gifted and already rumors had begun to circulate. But the first couple of days had been crucial to Logan and Calypso's budding father/daughter relationship. Though they didn't communicate extremely well they had quickly bonded over training. Fighting was a skill they were both good at and wanted to improve on. Fighting gave them a chance to strengthen their extremely fragile relationship.
The teachers had been vaguely informed of Lash and Wolverines relations by the professor, but not enough so that their curiosity could be quenched. The obvious confusion of the teachers fueled the student's curiosity as well. No on knew exactly how she was Wolverines daughter and there was also the rumor involving Lady Deathstrike and Stryker. A few students, including Rogue, Bobby, and Pyro, had witnessed Wolverine and Calypso fighting and that had proven Lash's adamantium claws.
But Rogue was not happy that she was just as clueless as the rest of the school's inhabitants. Logan was her friend and he was supposed to tell her about these kinds of things. She tried to talk to her new roommate about it, but Rogue had class most of the day and Calypso had opted not to enroll in class for a week or two until the rumors decreased. She tried to talk to Wolverine but he wasn't around. Usually avoiding the questioning faculty and students or he was with Lash. She was never going to get any answers this way.
"She's our age Rogue." Bobby and his girlfriend were sitting outside on a bench and he could tell she was a little bit more than aggravated. "It's probably going to be hard for her especially getting to know Wolverine."
"I know that. It's hard for everyone, but I still wish I knew more about her. She's my roommate and yet I know exactly what everyone else knows. Nothing."
"The professor told us what he thought we should know."
"I know but I wish I knew more. If everyone knew more about her there wouldn't be so many rumors going around."
"They'll stop once everyone gets to know her." He put a hand on Rogue's cloth covered shoulder trying to calm her down.
"But how are we supposed to get to know her when she's so distant?"
"I don't know."
"Hey man, Rogue." It was John walking over.
"Hey John." Said Rogue unenthusiastically.
"Well nice to see you to, Rogue?"
"I'm sorry, it's just that I'm a little on edge right now. It's just this whole Lash and Wolverine is so frustrating." Replied Rogue.
"Ah, the mysterious Calypso." Pyro smiled.
"Mysterious is the exact word for her. We know absolutely nothing about her." Rogue was getting worked up now.
"Why don't you just ask her about it?" Pyro suggested.
"I just can't. It feels like prying."
"She won't think it's prying. Just go up to her and ask."
"Why don't you?" Marie shouted back more forcefully than she intended.
"Fine I will. Where is she?"
"She went to train with Wolverine a few hours ago so she should be done soon. You could probably catch her going back to our room if you wait outside the gym." He turned and walked away quickly towards the gym. "You should hurry!" But after a second she realized how stupid it was to provoke him. "John!" Marie called trying to call him back. She shouldn't have yelled at him now he was going to talk to Lash.
"Let him go Rogue." Said Bobby, who knew that when John was instigated into doing something nothing could stop him; he would do it just out of spite. * * * * *
Lash had just finished another round of training with Wolverine. They actually had a decent conversation this time. It wasn't about anything important, only what classes she wanted to take, but it was still something. As she left the gym she spotted Pyro leaning against the wall playing with his lighter, totally involved with the fire.
"Hey," He looked and smiled at her. "What's going on?"
"Hey, um, nothing. I was just going back to my room."
"Could I walk with you?"
"Oh, sure." He stood up and joined her as she began walking.
"You know, there are some interesting rumors about you going around school."
"Yeah, I know." She smiled almost like it was a proud accomplishment. John smiled back at her.
"Are they true?"
"Only the weird ones." She examined him more closely. Before she hadn't really taken account of him. Just another boy except he could manipulate fire. His hair was slicked back and his eyes were staring straight ahead. He was wearing a smirk and she guessed it was his trademark. Rogue had talked about him, but she said his lack of respect for authorities was really his trademark. Calypso hadn't really understood though.
"So, Pyro?"
"So, Lash?"
"Are you going to show me what you can do with that lighter or is it just for show?" John laughed. He could definitely grow to like this girl.
"You want a show? I'll give you a show, but I don't think that the professor would like me burning down his school." Honestly the professor didn't like it when he started fire in the library, the science lab, and almost burned down Ms. Monroe's classroom so he was almost positive that Xavier wouldn't like it if he burned up his school.
"I don't think he would." She said. "I've already broken some of his more valuable training equipment and he wasn't really pleased."
"I bet." They were sharing a mutual laugh over there abilities to make the professor upset or were they laughing because they really didn't care? "How about we meet up tonight? We could show each other our powers." "Where, then?" He looked over to a window and pointed to a clearing. "Leave school grounds?"
"Nah, just by the woods over there." She looked suspiciously at him. "If I try anything, anything I give you total permission to tear my to shreds." He chuckled and she relaxed.
"What time?" She asked.
"I'll meet you outside your bedroom window a little after 12."
"Ok."
"Then I'll see you later, Calypso." He walked away grinning. Definitely, she thought.
