I don't have a past
I just have a chance,
Not a family or honest plea remains to say-

Breaking Benjamin- Rain.

She swallowed thickly glaring down at the floor, "I'm leaving." She tried to say coldly but all that would come out was a whisper.

Xavier studied the girl carefully, "Where will you go?" He knew she didn't have a place to go; she'd end up living shelter to shelter until she was old enough to get a job and buy an apartment, or like Logan had, a trailer.

"None of your business." She hissed lifting her head turning her glare on Xavier. She was defiantly a clone of Logan, in more ways than one.

He tented his hands under his chin and nodded a bit not at all fazed by her look, Logan had given him the same look once or twice before. "Have you talked to Logan-" He wasn't even given the chance to finish his sentence before the girl attacked verbally.

"I don't have to talk to him about anything!" She snapped her fists clenched at her sides, "He's not my father!" Xavier didn't even have to read her mind to sense her inner turmoil, "It's his fault that I'm here, him and that-" She stopped suddenly her mouth gaping, slowly she shut her mouth and turned to Xavier her eyes watering.

Xavier saw the sorrow flash in X-23's eyes, it was gone as quick as it came and by then she was already exiting the room.

"I'm leaving." She said not bothering to look back or close his office door.

'Logan,' He sent telepathically, 'I think you should speak with X-23 right away.'

'What's wrong with 'er Chuck?' Logan sent back as he headed in the direction of X-23's room, he heard the door slam only moments earlier.

He frowned when Xavier didn't respond right away, then came the hesitant reply, 'She wants to leave… I couldn't pick up on why though, I have a feeling that you'll do better talking to her though.'

The connection was cut once Logan reached X-23's door, he raised his hand to knock but hesitated. Inside he could hear muffled sobbing as though it were being drowned out by a pillow, alarmed Logan opened the door and stepped inside.

X-23 was sitting on her bed with, as Logan had suspected, a pillow over her face. She pulled it away and glared at Logan with swollen eyes, "What?" She sniffed trying to act as though nothing were wrong.

Logan didn't answer; instead he walked the rest of the way into the room and sat down on the edge of the bed. X-23 scowled and climbed off the bed grabbing the backpack she had brought with her when she arrived at the mansion. Logan watched her pack her things silently, when she was finished she turned to him and scowled, "I'm leaving." She said darkly pulling the strap over her shoulder.

"Why?"

She faltered slightly the scowl dropping from her face, "Why not?" She hissed after a minutes hesitation, the scowl returning to her lips, "Why shouldn't I leave?"

"Because you're needed here."

Her face faltered again and she slowly sat down on the edge of the bed her eyes going to the wall, "You don't need me here." She said softly.

Logan tilted his head to the side, that was how he felt when he first joined the mansion until the others proved otherwise, "If I didn't I wouldn't be sitting here, now would I?"

She shook her head slowly then sighed dropping her gaze to the floor, "I need to leave."

"What happened to you back at HYDRA?" Logan asked changing the subject; he was replied with a venomous glare. He simply ignored it knowing that her reasons for leaving had to do with her past with HYDRA.

"You should know, it happened to you too," She hissed locking her eyes with Logan's, "I don't know what was worse, the adimantium bonding process or having to kill that starving tiger before it killed me. What was it for you?" She smirked slightly and Logan recognized this as a defense mechanism of hers, she was trying to push him away and allow her to leave.

He frowned, "Adimantium." He responded truthfully, he didn't remember having to kill the tiger too well.

X-23 scowled obviously surprised by his answer, by his reaction, "Me too." She muttered absently rubbing her arms as her eyes wandered back to the floor. "Did they… did they make you…" She hesitated and closed her eyes, she was trying to open up, not much, but it was enough for Logan, "That family…"

"What family?" Logan furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

X-23 lifted her head, "The one they made me murder," She said bluntly her eyes now glued to the wall, "But I let one live… the little boy."

Logan stared at her in shock, had HYDRA really gone that far?

X-23 turned to him with watering eyes, "They killed him too... and- and…" She shook her head and covered her face with her hands as the memories resurfaced and ran through her mind's eye.

'How could they be so sick…?' Logan thought watching the girl before him curl up into a ball and sob her harsh demeanor fading away like chalk in the rain.
