Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason

Logan's lips pressed together in a thin white line, Liz stood before him clutching her arm as a stream of blood escaped passed her fingers.
"Where's the infirmary?" She asked in a hushed almost embarrassed tone of voice her eyes glued to her arm.
The blood was thick and dark color, she had hit a vein, "What happened?" He asked leading her down the hallway to where the infirmary was.
Liz looked about the room, it was rather large and had several metal examination tables, she sat down on one and watched s Logan made his way to a cabinet. "I uh…" She frowned bowing her head, "Danger Room, training by myself and got injured." She admitted with a soft sigh.
Logan returned with a bottle of peroxide, some paper towel, and a roll of bandages, "Ya should always train with someone, safer that way." He grunted taking her arm.
She winced letting go of the wound that still bled and held her uninjured bloodied hand by her side, "Sorry." She whispered as he first cleaned the blood away from the wound before applying the peroxide to it.
It was a long deep wound and would defiantly leave a scar, "It's pretty deep." Logan grumbled adding a bit more peroxide to the towel he was using.
Despite the burn of the peroxide, Liz held the scream and the reflex to flinch in although she did grimace. Logan glanced up at her face as he began bandaging the wound, "The bleeding slowed a bit, the dressing should be changed in a couple o' hours."
Liz nodded struggling not to make eye contact with him, once he was finished she jumped down off the table mumbling a quick 'thank you' and disappeared out the door. Logan watched the door slide shut before turning and cleaning up the mess left behind.

'Mary' …
'Jennifer'…
'Chloe… Hell no. Sound's to much like clone.'
X-23 scowled tapping the eraser end of the pencil against her temple a note book full of names were written out before her, some scribbled out while others were circled and underlined. She scribbled out the name 'Chloe' furiously then wrote down the name 'Ripley.' Her eyebrows furrowed as she thought this name through.
A knock at the door startled her out of her thoughts, slamming the notebook shut she hid it under her pillow along with the pencil then sat cross-legged on the bed.
"Uhm… kid?" It was Logan.
She rolled her eyes and put on the emotionless mask she wore around everyone, "What?"
"Can I come in?" He was hesitant, something was troubling him.
Glancing up at the ceiling for some kind of help from the higher alpha she shrugged and sighed, "Yea."
The door creaked open and Logan stood in the doorway looking a bit uncomfortable, his hands fisted at his sides, "Glad you decided to stay after all."
She shrugged wondering briefly where this was going, "Yea… I really had no where else to go."
"Well… there's Danger Room training in an hour if yer interested."
X-23 blinked, she hadn't expected this, "Okay," She nodded having never been asked to a Danger Room training, "I'll be there."
Logan smirked and turned to leave then stopped looking at her over his shoulder, "We can't keep callin' ya X-23…" He said slowly turning the rest of the way towards her, "Wouldn't ya rather be called somethin'-"
"Ripley." She blurted out cutting him off.
He smirked a bit then nodded again, "Been waitin' huh?"
Ripley scowled, "No…"
"Okay," Logan chuckled, "See ya in an hour… Rip." He said leaving.
X-23 now Ripley smiled a bit to herself, she finally had a name.
