other people.
* Once Logan stormed out of Rune's room he went to a nearby bar and sat with a beer, drinking and snarling at nearby bar patrons. He ended up punching a man next to him and that got him chucked out of the bar. Sitting outside since he didn't want to go back just yet, he stared into a mud puddle. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Turning he snarled thinking it was the man he punched wanting a rematch but instead he faced a young woman and he could have sworn it was Rune but then he looked at her again and saw something else, something he couldn't place. "What do you want?" he growled. The woman bit her lip and looked side to side then leaned closer to Logan "They say in the bar that you're a mutant," she whispered. Logan stiffened and his snarl deepened "if that's true you can help me then" "How?" the woman took a deep breath
"I'm a mutant, I have some people after, anti mutant activists I need a safe place" Logan stared at her not exactly trusting her story and then suddenly something in his mind clicked "All right" he growled and led her to Scott's bike. They both climbed on and sped away towards the school.
* "Being chased by anti mutant activists you say?" Xavier narrowed his eyes towards Logan. Logan nodded. "Yes she didn't say why and I have no reason to trust her" "Why is that?" "Instinct at first when I saw her I thought she was Rune" Xavier raised an eyebrow motioning for Logan to continue "She just seems so much like her except something about her eyes" Logan looked away and sighed "I don't know" the professor stepled his fingers and thought.
There was no reason not to board the girl yet there was something out of place, something he couldn't place. "I don't see why we can't help the girl," Xavier murmured "but keep an eye on her, something is odd here" Logan nodded and got up to leave "Oh and Logan I suggest you keep yourself distanced from this girl" Xavier paused and took a breath "I mean it this time"

Rune.
Rune rolled over in her sleep.
Rune. As voice said more urgently. With a start Rune woke up. Sitting up she looked around. There was no one in the room.
Rune. It was Xavier. Come to the school we need to talk. Rune bit her lip it sounded serious. Before she could change her mind Rune flung back the sheets and quickly dressed. She went to get her keys and turning she almost screamed as in front of her stood the little girl from the previous night.
"Who are you?" Rune managed to gasp "My name is Melissa and I've come to warn you" "Warn me about what?" Rune asked in confusion. The girl licked her lips and looked away "Your double" confusion flooded Rune's "Her name is Tamitha and she was created by Chris Mant" the girl paused "She wants against you" "Why?" "You are the destroyer of the life she knew" "Black and Green" the girl nodded
"She has the power of mind manipulation and has already used it on your wolf man" Then it clicked in Rune's mind "She was the one who possessed Rogue?" the girl nodded and Rune's hand flew to her mouth "Can Rogue be saved?" "Yes Rune I can help but I am trapped" "How?" "My sister is stronger than me and keeps me imprisoned within my own mind, my body lies in a coma at the local hospital"
"Your sister?" "Tamitha" the girl looked around with fear in her eyes and her breathing became rapid "Melissa what's wrong?" "Tamitha knows!" the girl cried "Beware Rune!" then she screamed and disappeared leaving a confused and frightened Rune. After several minutes Rune picked up the keys she had dropped and left the hotel room. Outside the morning was cold and crisp, quite beautiful in fact. But Rune's mind was troubled so she hardly noticed it. Her motorbike broke the silence and she quickly sped down the road towards the school.
* Xavier was sitting in his office thinking when he heard a motorbike ride up the driveway. Rune was here, good, he thought and wheeled himself out to meet her. Rune was in the foyer speaking to Storm when Xavier rolled in.
Both women saw him exchanged a several words embraced then Rune walked over to Xavier, with a small smile on her face and a bike helmet in her hand. Despite the smile Xavier knew something was troubling her. He shrugged it off taking for worry for Rogue. After all they were all worried.
"Morning Professor you wanted to see me?" Rune asked "I'm sorry about waking you Rune follow me" he turned and rolled towards his office with Rune in tow.
* "So what was so important that you had to wake me?" Rune asked from her chair in Xavier's office. "Last night Logan brought in a young woman, an extraordinary woman," Xavier steeple his fingers "How is so extraordinary?" "Well her mutations are quite well developed for someone who claims never to have had any training and the fact she looks exactly like you" Rune blinked and then frowned.
"Why did Logan bring her in?" "She sought him outside a bar and claimed she was being chased by anti- mutant activists" Rune wondered whether she should tell the professor about Melissa then decided against it, after all the professor could be under Tamitha's control. "What are her mutations?" "Much like yours, she has telepathy and the metal fingers although she professes that she was never a part of Black and Green" "Interesting, very interesting" Rune murmured then leaned forward "I'd like to meet her"
