Two days later a stunned Rune dropped her phone with a clatter to the
ground.
"Rune?" a concerned Minnie asked. Rune looked at her friend.
"The birth certificate, my birth certificate, it's a fake," she croaked.
Minnie's eyes widen and quickly she sat down with one hand covering her
mouth. Like Rune Minnie had no past beyond Black and Green.
"That- that means" Minnie began
"That all the others could be fake too" Rune finished as she ran a hand
through her hair. Picking up her phone she suddenly threw it at a wall
putting all her rage into that throw. The phone broke into several pieces.
"DAMMIT!" she screamed "We're back to square bloody one" tears were
streaming down her face.
"Rune" spinning around, blades at ready she almost slashed at Brian. He
managed to catch her fist without getting himself cut it also brought Rune
out of her angry reverie.
"I'm sorry Brian"
"Just calm down" Rune nodded and sat down with her head in her hands.
"I just can't believe it" Rune whispered
"Maybe you should go back to the States" Minnie said, her hand heavy on
Rune's shoulder. Rune looked at Minnie.
"Why? I need to be here I have-"
"To take a break" Brian finished for her
"You haven't seen or spoken to anyone at the school for months and Brian
and I are more than capable of dealing with this whole birth certificate
fiasco" Minnie glanced at Brian for support as she spoke.
"Minnie's right Rune all you've been thinking about is helping out with
Black and Green and looking for your brother, take a break and go see
Logan" Rune bit her lip, she hated to admit it but they were right.
"I don't know" Rune sighed and started pacing the room
"And its not like once you go you can't come back its so you can loosen up"
seeing her uncertainty Minnie arched an eyebrow
"Haven't you been dying to show off your bike?" Rune grinned
"Alright I'll go"

A small porcelain skinned hand picked up a ringing phone. Lifting it to the
person's ear they listened to the person on the other end.
"You've done as I asked?"
"Yes miss I did all you said" the girl smiled cruelly
"Excellent for that you get to live" she placed the phone back in it's
cradle and steeped her fingers. And now to put her plans into action. She
was going to enjoy this.

Changing into a higher gear Rune grinned. She was driving down the freeway
that lead her back to the school. With her bag secured to her bike she went
a little bit faster. Five minutes later she was driving up the driveway of
the school. Nothing had visibly changed which Rune took as a good sign. She
was still haunted by her reoccurring nightmare but she wasn't going to
think about that at the moment. Pulling into the garage she grabbed her bag
and made her way to the front door. Opening it no one took more than a
glance at her. Making her way to the professor's office she put her ear to
the door. She could hear several voices, one of them being Logan's.
Knocking on the door she heard Xavier permit her to enter. Opening the door
she grinned
"Got room for an Aussie mutant?" everyone in the room froze, slowly
everyone turned.
"Well do you?"
"Rune!" Rogue exclaimed and ran up to her to carefully give her a hug. She
then greeted Jean, Scott, Storm and Xavier. Finally she came to Logan.
"I told you I'd be back" Rune smiled up at him before Logan enveloped her
in a fierce hug
"Oh god" Rune murmured into Logan's neck "I missed you so much" turning to
the rest of the room "I missed you all"
"It's good to have you back" Jean smiled at her.
"Thanks Jean" Rune replied.
"So how long can we expect you to stay here?" the professor asked.
"Only a couple of months I still have things to sort out back home" Rune
replied and the professor gave her a knowing nod of his head.
"Logan could you take Rune to her temporary room"
"Sure Chuck" Logan slipped an arm around Rune's waist and led her away.
