" Thank you, Logan Sir."

Before wolverine could say anything else he felt a light tugging sensation with in his body. Nothing painful, but it was odd feeling. He could see what reaper was doing, she had her eyes closed and she sucked in a small pale green wisp of smoke, then moved her hand to his shoulder and exhaled. He felt the pulling stop, and for a brief second felt disoriented but the smells and sounds around him. He gained control of himself just as they pulled up in front of the institute He glanced back to see Rouge smiling and Reaper sitting with her eyes closed as her wounds healed. Finally, she opened her eyes and smiled.

" Thanks for the powers those will come in handy next time I fight, I only wish I could get cool adimantium (sp?) claws like yours." Said reaper, only she said it in.. his voice? Seeing the confusion on his face she smiled and spoke again this time in her normal voice.

" My powers allow me to copy voices and powers, because I have no voice. Well, I have a voice its just.if you hear my voice from far away or a whisper you will fall asleep, but.if I scream or I talk normal and your close to me.you'll.die." Reaper looked very uncomfortable, until Rouge placed a gloved hand on her shoulder. Logan looked at the girl with pity, but two questions entered his mind 1: whose voice was she using? 2: how did she know Rouge? Normally he would have tried to keep his questions to himself (to seem cool and aloof) but now he really wanted to know more about this girl and her powers.

" So, Reaper, How do you know Stripes? And if your voice is dangerous whose voice are you using now?" Logan opened the car door and began to walk up to the institute as he talked with Reaper who walked with Rouge beside him. (Confusing???) Reaper looked at Rouge who nodded to her before answering Logan's question.

" I know Pasty from the family. I used to live there with her, when the abuse got bad I decided it was time to leave. So me, her, Soulia, n' Molecule busted out. I left Soulia n' (n'= and, just so you know!!) Molecule with a friend, then me n' Rouge ran together. I trained her a little but I had to start taking jobs so that I could help them out. I found a women by the name of Destiny, who said she was kin to Rouge, so I packed her up, said goodbye, and left. By the way anything I said.um.do you think It could stay between us?" Reaper said all of this while looking at the ground but now she regarded Logan with untrusting eyes.

" You got it, Kid. Now about that voice of yours.?" Logan let the question hang in the air, but Reaper knew what he wanted.

" This was my sisters voice.. it's the only thing I have left of my real family. You see when the 'Family' came to get me the killed my mother, father, and brother in front of me. The y were all human so they couldn't defend themselves. My sister had a small gift of telepathy so she confused them long enough for her to cover her ears as I scream my brains out. They all died, and my sister slipped into a light sleep. I tried to wake her, and I accidentally copied her power, I heard the minds of the soldiers who had surrounded the house. I screamed without thinking, I killed my sister and everyone with in a ten-foot radius of me. I use her voice now, so that I can remember. Remember, the first time and the last time I lost control. I spent a year on my own tuning my body and learning to control my power." Silent tears slid down her cheeks, she quickly wiped them away. " I'm only telling you all of this because I know that you took care of Pasty for me and that she thinks of you like a father, or a very cool older brother. I have never trusted anyone but Pasty, Soulia, and Molecule. I don't want other people hurt on my account, but you look like you can take care of yourself."

Reaper gave Logan a smirk as the walked through the door of the institute.

Logan went to his room with a lot his mind, Rouge lay in her bed thinking about how great it would be now that Reaper was at the institute, and Reaper lay on the couch in the living room, her hands behind her head, a sad smile on her lips as she drifted to sleep.

**~~Morning~~** (DAMN!! MORNINGS SUCK!!)

Jamie walked down the hall, his head down. The girls had made fun of him again. It wasn't his fault that every time he got bumped by something he split into three copies of himself. He was thinking about this when he bumped into someone else. Afraid of insults all three of him hung their heads, but were surprised when a voice he had never heard before spoke to him.

" So, You want help up. I don't mind helping, but which one of you do I help up first?" Jamie glance up to see a women with short brown hair, that was wet from a shower, and purple eyes that dance with amusement. She wore a short raggedy purple skirt, a purple spaghetti strapped shirt, with a black fishnet over shirt. No shoes adorned her feet, anyone else would have looked bad, but she looked classy. Finally, he gabbed her offered hand and pulled himself to his feet as he clones slowly followed. Once he had collected himself, literally, he spoke to the women.

" Hi my name is Jamie. I'm so sorry I bumped in to you. Are you new I have never seen you before." He smiled hoping that she would laugh at him.

" Hey there Jamie, I'm Reaper. I'm just visiting a friend of mine, perhaps you know her, I think she's called Rouge here." She smiled at him, as she spoke making Jamie feel happy. His eyes widened when he heard that she was friends with Rouge. ' The Gothic Ice Queen has a friend other than Remy and Logan. And she is cool!!.' Jamie thought as he looked at her.
