Chapter 4
She saw that Spike had gone in and she wanted some time alone to herself. She looked down at her bare feet. They had grown again. They had gotten a little bigger and she now sported talons instead of just claws. The bottom of her feet had become tougher. She poked at the bottom of her foot with a claw like nail. With a sigh she wrapped her wings around herself for warmth and stared at the moon.
Two years ago life had been so simple. Go to work, go to class, come home and over again. Occasionally she'd go out with friends or take a trip to see the ones that were still in college. The mutant she had really known had been her Uncle Charles. She hadn't even known she had the gene until she had been taken. If they had left her alone it never would have manifested itself.
Her natural mutation had been fairly simple and had gone along with her pagan faith. A seed on the edge caught her eye. It looked like a flower seed. At the back of the mansion was a greenhouse. She picked up the seed and glided down to the greenhouse. It felt good to finally be among so many plants again. Before she had been taken she had worked with plants as much as possible. She loved them.
In the back was a row of pots full of earth. She picked one that was of a decent size. A single tear escaped her eyes as the seed in her palm glowed green. The seed sprouted and grew about an inch. She buried it almost totally in the dirt. She held her hand over the pot. The green glow surrounded it and she smiled when the plant trembled and started to grow. The plant grew a couple of feet and the flower pods swelled up all over the plant. With a twitch of her hand they all burst into bloom. Before her were beautiful blood red roses that filled the air with their fragrance.
There was a small 'bubbling brook' arranged along one side of the greenhouse. It was surrounded by plants. She walked around till she found a large niche in the greenery. Whoever had tended it had even floored this part with grass. With a sigh she sat down with the pot in her lap. She stroked the petals as she stared at the plant.
Outside Logan was looking for her. He had gone to check on her and had found Spike on the balcony. When Spike told him she had flown off Logan had gone out to look for her. He had seen her land and then take off towards the back. He found her scent outside of the greenhouse. He padded silently inside and caught the end of her tail going around a corner. He looked around the corner to see her sit facing him in the niche.
He watched as she held the potted rose. Then he saw something that astonished him. The plants surrounding her moved. Not like a breeze had gone past, but as if they were encircling her to comfort her. He watched as tears slipped down her cheeks to fall on the plant. It reached up to caress her cheek with a leaf. The leaves that surrounded her rustled.
Her head snapped up to look at Logan. He was taken aback by the despair and sadness in her eyes. They widened before she ducked her head and hastily wiped her eyes. "How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough," he said gruffly as he walked over to her. He squatted down in front of her and wiped a stray tear. "The prof didn't tell me about this."
"He didn't know about it. The communicating and growing of plants is my natural mutation. If they hadn't triggered it I may have never known about it. My x-gene was dormant and not likely to manifest at any time. The rest they caused. They didn't think plants were very lucrative or had any practical military purpose."
He sat beside her in the niche. She caped her wings and scooted over as she put the potted plant further in front of them. He watched as the plants continued to move. She smiled when a lily bent down to caress her cheek. He wasn't going to push. She would talk on her own time.
"My mutation kind of goes hand in hand with who I used to be. It's probably the only thing that I have that, well, reminds me of what I was."
"And what were you?"
"Pagan. I was what was referred to as a green witch. An herbalist and an apothecary. I loved plants, still do. I guess that's why my natural mutation would have manifested like that. My affinity was with the earth and still is. I can hear it. I can hear them all. All the plants. It's like a constant soothing background noise." She looked over at him as he sat there with an arm draped over is knee leaning on his hand. "Logan, why did they do it?"
"Do what?" he asked, but he knew what she was asking. No matter what she went through she was still the innocent young girl they had taken to corrupt.
"Why did they try to turn me into a weapon? All I wanted to do was travel and learn things. I never wanted to be a warrior. I never was one. I was always the scholar, the one who gave advice and listened to people's problems. What did I do to deserve this Logan?"
"Aw darlin'," he said as he gathered the crying girl into his arms. Nearly three years of torture had come to a head. He didn't know what to do except comfort her. In the brief time he had known her he had grown to care for her. His instincts were strong and she was part of his pack now. Her instincts were strong as well. "Logan I have to tell you something."
"Yeah darlin'."
"When they mutated me they modeled me after you. One of the men working for the initiative worked on the project that made you as you are now. Logan I don't know how much longer I can take being the way I am now. I have all these desires and feelings. Like I want to run free or," she gave a small bark of laughter. "Or fuck something's brains out. No matter what I do they won't go away. I'm never satisfied with anything."
He sighed. He knew what she was telling him and he'd had the same problems. He'd learned control, but it had taken him a long time. He looked down at her and brushed some of her silver hair that had fallen out of her braid away from her eyes. "I can help ya darlin' with that, but not here."
"I know. It's not proper or anything. I'm your employer's niece." She sat up and wiped her eyes. "It's okay I'll learn how to deal with it."
"Raven wait."
"What? It's obvious you don't want anything to do with me," she said a little bitterly. She didn't know why she was getting mad at him, but she was. She had been fighting what she had become for the longest time. She had found temporary solace in Spike, but even he couldn't keep up with her. She went to stand up but didn't get far before Logan grabbed her and pulled her down.
"Darlin' it's not like I don't want to help you."
"Then what is it?"
He sighed as she glared at him. She was startled when he pulled her into a rough kiss. She moaned as he plundered her mouth. This was what she had been missing. When the kiss ended he moved down nipping at her neck and shoulders causing her to moan and purr. He pulled back to look into her glazed eyes. She was panting heavily as was he. She had been busy working his shirt free and running her hands up his chest.
He smirked, "I just don't think Ororo would like it if we used her greenhouse to scratch your itch."
She flashed her fangs at him and purred. "Well then let's go somewhere else."
"Gladly darlin'. Yer telepathic right?"
"Mmhm," she said as she kissed his neck.
"Do you think you can shield us?" "Of course. Where do you want to go?"
"Not the house darlin'. You might get loud."
She gasped when he started sucking on her earlobe. Something tickled the edge of her awareness. She groaned when his hand went up her tank top to caress her breast. She raised glazed eyes to the doorway when a throat cleared. It was Spike. Logan looked up as well. The vampire was damned good. He hadn't even sensed him.
"I hate to break this up kiddies, but the prof's looking for you."
Logan nearly growled and Raven did. "God my Uncle has wonderful timing." She disengaged herself from Logan's embrace. "Did he say what he wanted?"
"I think he said something about a holowatch. Apparently he wanted to give it to you."
"Sorry Logan I guess we'll have to finish this later," she said before planting a kiss on his cheek and standing up.
Logan chuckled, "I guess so darlin'. Come on let's not keep chuck waitin'."
Inside they were greeted by one of the kids sliding down the banister. It was Jamie who was deftly caught by Raven before he could hit the floor and multiply. He blushed madly when he saw who had caught him and then scampered off when Logan growled at him.
Raven chuckled, "Logan I swear you're gonna give him nightmares one of these days." She smiled when he just grunted and started up the stairs. In the Professors office she found beast and another boy there as well. Logan had gone to check on the other kids and Spike had gone with him to meet the students.
"Ah Raven there you are. You know Henry McCoy of course and this is Forge. Forge this is my niece Raven."
"Pleasure to meet you Raven. This is your holowatch. I set it to the professor's specifications. I hope you like it." He smiled as he handed her the watch.
"Thank you," she said as she put it on.
"Here, this button turns it on and this turns it off. These you can use to adjust it anyway you like if what I've already programmed is not what you want. You can adjust the clothing, hair color, eye color, just about anything."
Raven smiled at Forge. He reminded her of one of her ex-boyfriends. He had still been a close friend when they broke up. He talked the same way when going on about the functions on a game or something he was showing her. The professor and Beast watched as Forge helped her understand the holowatch. When she tried it out she was amazed to find he had programmed it as close to her original likeness as he could get it.
Her hair was black again, but still swung in its long braid. She still had her new height and figure, but her eyes had returned to their clear blue. Her wings were still caped but the hologram of her favorite royal blue peasant blouse with trailing sleeves covered it up. Her tail was hidden by the floor length black gypsy skirt she had worn the last time she had been to see the professor. Her eyes teared up when she saw the dark blue satin slippers he had given her on her 21st birthday. She looked up to see him smiling at her.
"I hope you like it."
"Of course I do Uncle Charles. Thank you Forge, Henry, for the watch. I'll tweak it a bit tonight. When are we going out tomorrow?"
"Lunchtime. Jean, Kitty and Rogue will be going with you. Ororo will be there as well. The watch should be enough for now and the girls will lend you some clothes in the morning."
"Thank you Uncle Charles. I'll see you tomorrow then."
"You're welcome my dear."
A/N: Yay she's got a new toy. Well I had to redo this chapter. The first one I just thought went too far too early so I switched my plan around some. Have fun reading and please review. Ja ne
