onward with the chapter.

After much difficultly, hissing and swearing under her breath Rune finally
got to the infirmary underneath the school. And after more hissing and
swearing on Rune's part and poking and prodding on Jean's part, Rune was
told all she had was a slight fracture in her tibia and that she was
extremely lucky that she had only that. Rune was left in the infirmary to
rest and with something for the pain. Unfortunately Rune could only take
minimal painkillers other wise she would be so addled in the brain that it
would take weeks to recover. She lay there resisting the urge to roll onto
her side to get more comfortable, knowing it would result in further pain.
The door opened quietly and Logan appeared. Rune groaned
"Oh god Logan I'll answer your questions but please not tonight" Rune asked
in a despairing tone.
"Just coming to see how you are"
"I wouldn't expect that from what I've heard about you"
"What have you heard?" Logan leaned against the bed slightly
"I meant read, I have your file, I have everyone's file" Rune hissed the
sheet, that covered her as she moved slightly.
"I make exceptions every now and again" standing he smiled slightly "I let
you get some sleep"
"Goodnight"
"Good night Rune" Rune mumbled something as she slipped into sleep and
Logan smiled again and left the room.

"So what happened?"
"I really think Rune should be telling you this"
"I'm asking you since she is otherwise unavailable" Logan rubbed his face
he was sitting in Xavier's office with Xavier looking out the window, why
was he here?
"Two guys yesterday in a parking lot up the road, they pulled a gun on us,
Rune seemed to know them or at least the people they were working for"
"And last night?"
"I don't know the full story but when I got there one of the guys from the
parking lot were there, Rune's bike was burning and she was unconscious"
"So someone wants her dead" Xavier's cultured voice stated the obvious.
Logan shrugged.
"It would seem so" he replied.
"At the moment I want you to stay close to Rune, keep an eye out for her,
until we can find out who his enemy is" Logan nodded and stood
"Oh and Logan I also advise not to get too close to this girl" Xavier
turned "It's for the best"

The next day Jean allowed Rune to walk the grounds but she had to have two
things with her. Crutches and another person. Rune hated the fact that she
had to be accompanied by someone pretty much everywhere, but it helped that
the person was Logan. He was quite bearable compared to Scott, who was nice
but annoying sometimes. Logan didn't pry into her past and Rune payed the
same respect back to him. But the truth would come out and it was when
Xavier asked to speak with her in his office that Rune knew the questions
where coming. Sitting there with one leg straight out in front of her and
the another leg bent with her foot under the chair. She felt like a naughty
schoolgirl about to receive a tongue lashing from the principal. She
glanced over at Logan leaning against the wall, looking at Xavier sitting
next to the desk, his usual slight smile gone.
"I think you know why you're here"
"Of course I do"
"So, tell me why are those men after you?" he leaned forward in his
wheelchair and Rune chewed her lip then pulled out the gun from her pants
and the photograph and typed letter from her pocket and threw them on the
floor, Logan flinched and Xavier sat up a bit.
"I was given those from a group called Mutants Forever, it was run by a man
by the name of Chris Mant"
"What did you do?" that was from Logan. Rune looked at him then back at the
floor
"We were a terrorist group basically, finding mutant experiments in
Australia and blowing them up, I was the one called Wrist"
"Wrist, that sounds tacky"
"It's after the tattoo on my wrist, anyway it would have been okay its just
we didn't ask questions about our targets we just assumed that they were
the evil, when it fact it was us" Rune rubbed her hands together, it was
cold all of a sudden "My last target was a man called Darcy Coalbrigde he's
a scientist in Idaho that was why I came to America, it was fine until I
had to kill him"
"What went wrong?" Logan again.
"He was at the centre where he works when I found him, I was told that he
was experimenting on mutant children, what he was actually doing was
providing medical care for mutant children and helping them cope with it,
the kids loved him. After that I researched quite extensively about our
targets in the past, I found that with ten out of eleven of our targets
were actually doing good for mutants" Xavier sat back in his wheelchair and
looked at Logan.
"It looks like its time for the X-men to go down under" he smiled and Rune
groaned at his extremely bad joke.

A/N: Wow while I was writing this I finally worked out the plot. It must
mean there truly is a God and any Australians reading this I give you
permission to flame me for that down under joke, I am kicking myself for it
right now. Anywho an okay chapter so please review and tell me what you
think.
