Chapter 4

"Fine you remember me, that's great!" laughed the man who was also dressed in black.

"How could we forget you, I mean you have destroyed the school, you've hurt pupils..."

"Oh stop please that was your own fault Professor, yours and that of Wolverine. You both disappointed me."

If you were my mother you wouldn't request that I kill my friends, my only truly family!!!" she yelled.
