A/N: Onward and somewhere!

The day after meeting Logan and Scott Rune got her first visitor, that was
work related. Working in her room, or at least trying to work Rune heard a
knock at the door. Getting up Rune answered the door. There stood Logan and
a young woman with two white streaks that framed her small face. Leaning
against the doorframe she looked at both of them
"Can I help you?"
"Rune this is Rogue" Logan gestured to the woman. Rune glanced at Rogue's
gloved hands.
"Nice to meet you Rogue" Rune held out her hand and hesitatingly she shook
the hand "Well why don't you both come in" Shutting the door behind them
she sat down on the chair Xavier had given her.
"Nice office" Logan said looking around
"I prefer to talk to people in a professional capacity where they're
comfortable so I don't bother with office, it basic psychology, sit on the
bed both of you, it's easier for me not to look up I'm already short
enough" Logan smirked at her jest. Once they both sat Rune leaned forward.
"Now Rogue what can I do for you?"
"Well Logan said you were the school psychiatrist" her voice betrayed her
origins of the south, and she was scared, nervous of Rune.
"Yes I am"
"I was wondering wether you're a mutant or not and wether-"
"You can trust me" Rogue hid her feelings reasonably well on her face but
the rest of her body betrayed her "Don't worry Rogue I am discreet whatever
you tell me as a psychiatrist will be kept between us, unless the
information you have given stop you from hurting yourself or others and yes
I am a mutant"
"You are?" Logan's voice registered as shock
"Yes my fingers have metamorphic abilities and my brain is highly sensitive
to registering the senses, so I can tell that Rogue is a bit nervous and
that your bones are coated in something" Logan's eyebrows rose a bit,
turning to Rogue, Rune lowered her head a bit "What else did you want to
ask me or talk about"
"I was once kidnapped by Magento-"
"Magento?"
"A mutant who doesn't like humans" Logan replied
"He used me as a channel for power to mutate humans"
"I see" Rogue story hit a slight nerve and Rune's expression hardened
"I thought I was over it but I keep on having dreams about it, according to
the girls I share with I thrash about in my sleep, I almost touched one of
them last night" Rune brought herself out of her own thoughts and chewing
her lip she mused the problem and looked at Rogue's gloves
"Interesting" Rune sat back in thought and stared at Rogue's gloves "How
school?"
"Fine I've been getting along with every, bit too much homework though"
Rogue replied
"Have you had anything traumatic happen to you lately?"
"Other than the dreams, no"
"Very strange indeed" Getting up Rune walked over to her bedside table
where she had a copy of Sigmund Freud's book.
"Ever read Freud?" Rogue shook her head, Logan seemed fascinated in his
fingernails.
"One of his theories which is now relied on as fact is that your life
affects your dreams, so either you buried that experience deep within you
and it's coming back to haunt you with no evident trigger, except that your
not busy or there's a trigger, it's more likely that there's a trigger and
that can be anything" Rune sighed as she sat down and flicked through the
book "Once we figure out the cause we can treat it, until then I suggest
you use lavender or essential so you sleep deeper and don't dream or
failing that we tie you down or use drugs" Rogue nodded and Logan became
more aware once he realised that the session was over. Rogue nodded.
"Actually I try and find you some today, I'm going shopping for some
clothes" Rune smiled and shook Rogue's hand "Come and later today and I
give you that lavender"
"Sure thanks Miss-"
"Don't bother with the last name you wouldn't be able to pronounce it just
call me Rune" Rogue smiled and got up "Don't be a stranger Rogue I'm here
to help okay" Rogue nodded walked to the door. Opening it she turned to
Rune
"Thanks again Rune"
"No problem" Rogue left with a bounce in her step. Rune smiled to herself
at least she helped a bit. Leaning against the wall Logan faced her
"What is your last name?"
"I don't know"
"What?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Got nothing else to do"
"That's the problem I do, remember shopping I can't really keep on
borrowing Jean's clothes there a bit big" Logan leaned against the wall
opposite Rune. Looking at her watch Rune gasped
"Crap it's already 4:00 I better go" grabbing her wallet Rune got her
backpack and her keys
"Taking your bike I see" Logan said eyeing the keys held loosely in her
hand
"Yes, wanna come with, you said you had nothing to do"
"Shopping's not really my thing"
"Wow we share something in common, don't worry I'll be about an hour max"
that seemed to convince Logan and they both left the room and went to the
garage.
*
With Logan seated behind her arms wrapped around her waist Rune
accelerated. Swerving Rune grinned under her helmet. This was the life.
Overtaking the car in front of her she relished the feeling of the wind
rushing past her.
"Next left," Logan yelled above the engine and so Rune could hear. Turning
left she slowed and found a parking spot quickly. Getting off she put her
helmet in her backpack and put Logan under his seat.
"Where did you learn to ride?"
"In Queensland"
"Where?"
"Australia, that's where I come from"
"Ahh" both walked quickly as the shopping centre and Rune was buying what
she need, two pairs of jeans and several shirts. A broadcast over the PA
announced the closure of the shopping centre for the day in five minutes,
by the time the two had gotten to Rune's motor bike with Rune's clothes
crammed in her back pack there were only two vehicles left in the car park
of the small shopping centre including Rune's bike. Two bulky men dressed
in dark clothing approached them.
"You Rune?" one asked, he was taller than the other.
"Depends who wants to know"
"I do" the other man asked
"And your are?"
"Gregory Mant" Rune stiffened
"How'd you find me?" suddenly her whole world came crashing around her
"I never lost you oh and Chris says hi" Gregory smirked
"I'm sure he does" Rune set her jaw "Well if that's all then I'll be off"
she took out her helmet and got Logan's and thrust it on him. Both men
stepped closer and Gregory pulled out a handgun.
"Chris was really upset when you left"
"Likewise when he sold me out"
"Yeah well now we're here to finish what Chris started per his orders"
"Logan gets on the bike," Rune said between clenched teeth
"And who's this, boyfriend?" Gregory stepped closer to Logan and before he
knew what was happening Logan smashed the helmet into his face. Jumping on
the bike Rune slammed her helmet on.
"Logan get on!" she screamed. Hitting Gregory in the face again he jumped
on the bike behind her and she quickly accelerated. Back at the garage
without speaking Rune put both helmets away and raced back to her room with
Logan unfortunately in tow. Slamming the door in his face Rune dumped her
backpack on her bed and went to her desk. Taking the stuff out of one of
the drawers didn't take long and soon she was able to take out the false
bottom. Beneath it was a gun a photograph and a folded piece of paper.
Taking out the piece and the photograph she replaced the false bottom and
shoved everything back into the drawer. Unfolding the paper she began to
read, it was short
To Wrist,
Mission: Assassinate Darcy Coalbrigde
Location: Black Water
Reward: $50,000
Short and sweet and to the point that was the way of Chris Mant. Dropping
the letter she studied the photograph. The man was around forty years old
and with greying hair. A straight nose, a thin mouth and a hard jaw line
made him seem stern. Darcy Coalbrigde the leader of the scientists
investigating mutants and their abilities. Putting it back on the desk she
leaned back, her head was throbbing, they had found her at last, and
Gregory said they never lost her that meant. Rune opened her eyes she had
to leave, she had to lose them or more people would get hurt. Getting up
she began taking her clothes out of the wardrobe and jamming them into her
bag. Empty the drawer again on the bed she took the gun and stuck in the
back of her pants. Shoving the copy of Freud's book she zipped up the
bulging backpack and went to grab her keys, but she had left them in the
ignition of her bike. Swinging the bag onto her back she looked out the
window, it was evening now and the sun was going down. Looking to the left
of the window she notice a drainpipe that she could climb down. She was on
the upper level of the school and it was quite a drop so Rune secured her
bag better and opened the window. In the hour Rune had been in her room the
wind had picked up. Rune gulped and leaned over still gripping the
windowsill with one hand and the other hand reaching for the pipe. With a
slight jump she more or less grabbed the pipe. Her feet scrambling for a
hold they finally got one and she relaxed slightly. As quickly as possible
she shinned down the pipe and ran across the grounds to, furiously trying
to remember if the garage was this way. It was. Going in she switched the
light on and grabbed her helmet. Opening the garage door she got on her
bike and turned the key. It started and she speed away.

A/N: Wow that was a really long chapter. I wonder what will happen next.
Hehehehe. And I know Logan isn't likely to go to a shopping centre (or as
some people know it the mall) but hey it works.Anywho please review and
you'll see more.
(teehee I control her yay!)
A/N: Onward and somewhere!
