HL: Well…its still unnamed….and this is the 4th chapter
Disclaimer: Same as the last 3
Laura stood slowly and Evan steadied her on her feet, "You shouldn't be standing if your dizzy." He said, but she pushed him away. "I'm fine." She answered with a balled fist. –Guys, leave her alone, she heard what Sarah said to Logan. She's not happy right now.- Jean said telepathically to the others and they went wide eyed then nodded.
Laura stormed upstairs and slammed the door to her room. She grabbed her things and shoved them all into her duffel bag. I can't believe this…I'm just finding out who my brother is. I can't do this. I'm going back to the orphanage. She thought to herself as she opened the window, then threw her duffel bag down, and jumped out after it. She pressed herself against the building as the others went in. Sorry guys…but I have to leave. She thought to herself. She turned the other way to run, but ran into Scott. She looked up at him, "Scott, move." "Not until you tell me where your going." "Back to the orphanage." He sighed. "Look, I know your upset…" "You don't know when I'm upset…" "Well, I do." Jean said. Laura glared at them. "Look…we know that well…you just found out that Logan's your brother and…" Jean elbowed him hard in the ribs. Scott rubbed where she had elbowed him, but got the hint.
"So, are you going to stay?" Jean asked as Laura sighed. She didn't have choice. She threw her bag back up into her room, jumped into the tree, and in through the window closing it.
:At Dinner:
Everyone sat at the table as Laura walked in, the whole room went silent. She swallowed and took a seat next to Rogue, folding her hands under the table, and faced downwards. Everyone looked at her then resumed to talking. Scott and Jean exchanged glances as the Professor, Logan, Hank, and Storm came into the dining room. As they ate Evan watched Laura, "She's been quiet." He said as Scott nodded, "Yeah, I would be too if I found out Logan was my brother and I didn't know until now." "Maybe von of us should to talk to her." Kurt said as the others nodded and muttered in a agreement.
He glared, "Vine...don't everyone get up a vonce.." He said standing and going over to Laura, "Oh, Laura." "Yes Kurt?" "Vill, you uh…come with me for a moment…" Laura eyed him suspiciously, but stood, "Excuse us." Kurt said grabbing Laura's wrist and puling her out behind him. Jean smirked, "What was the point in that?" Kitty asked. "Oh…I found something out that's all…" She said putting a piece of lettuce in her mouth, "Tell me!!" Kitty said grabbing the older girl and shaking her gently.
"Oh…our little Kurt has a crush on Laura." Scott spit out his water as Evan choked on his soda, "Are you serious!?!" They both asked at the same time. "Mm-hm…" The two boys looked at each other then stood running to follow Kurt and Laura.
:Outside:
"Um…you wanted to talk to me?" She asked as Kurt blushed slightly, "Yeah…um…today…" "Oh gees…Kurt…" "Vait! I uh…just wanted to say that you handled Sarah perfectly." Laura blinked and her shoulders relaxed a bit, "Really?" Kurt nodded. She smiled at him, "Thanks Kurt…I thought you were going to talk about me finding out Logan was my brother." She said. "Uh…about that too…" He said. Laura walked over to a tree and sat under it. Kurt blinked at her. "Ever since I was three I've always been wondering who my sister and brother were or where they went." Kurt went over and sat next to her. "Do vou mind talking about vit?" He asked. Laura shook her head.
Scott, Evan, Rogue, Kitty, Bobby, Roberto, and Jean hid behind a bush and watched them, "I can't believe he like, didn't tell us." Kitty said in a low whisper. "Kurt likes every pretty girl he comes across." Evan whispered. "She's not pretty," Scott said, "she's hot." He said as Jean glared at him. "What?" "You know what." She snapped throwing a rock at his head.
"I remember sleeping in my crib, my sister was in hers, which was next to mine. The door suddenly opened and Logan lowered the bars on mine first then grabbed my sister. He ran downstairs, kicked the door down, and took off into the woods. I was crying, so was my sister, we were both confused and we didn't know what was going on. All we wanted was our mom and dad, but, the house exploded. Logan had tripped dropping me and her. The captors grabbed Logan, me, and my sister. I bit my captors arm and he or she threw me and I hit my head on a tree…" She said. Kurt looked at her as she frowned then sighed, "That's all I remember…" She said leaning back on her arms. "Vat's terrible…" "Yeah, but, at least I know who my brother is. My sister I don't know who she is yet." She said standing, walking out from under the tree, and then laid on her back looking up at the stars.
Kurt laid next to her, "It's so clear vere compared to the vest of New York." "Yeah. You know, I used to do this with my friends back at the orphanage. We would sneak up onto the roof, no matter what time of year it was, and just lay there looking up at the stars." She said with a smile. "Va, I do vat sometimes." "Kurt…" "Yes?" "Do you feel like we're being watched?" She asked. "Sort of…vhy?" She stood, her green eyes scanning around. "I think we are…I can't tell if it's our friends from earlier or just the others."
Kurt looked around also, "Vit's probably Scott, Jean, Kitty, Bobby, and Roberto. Vothing to vorry 'bout." Laura smirked then looked at a bush narrowing her eyes slightly, then lifted it up. The seven teens blinked and smiled before running. "You were right." She said with a laugh. "Come on, let's go inside, oh and Kurt." Kurt looked at her. "Thanks for making me feel better." She said giving him her best grin then walked into the mansion. Kurt blinked and followed her.
:Brotherhood:
Sarah was laying on the couch watching Lance swing a ball of yarn in front of her face, "If you don't cut that out I'll seriously scratch your eyes out…" She said still watching the yarn. "Awe, come on kitty cat…you know you want it." "I want it, but not as badly as I want you to stop!" She said swatting the ball of yarn out of Lance's hand then chasing after it.
Lance laughed, "Your pathetic Sarah!" He said as Sarah threw a ball at his head, "Shut up. Why am I even here?" She asked plopping back on the couch. "Because you're a moron and you love us." Sarah rolled her eyes. "Don't flatter yourself." She said as the door opened revealing a very tired Ian, "IAN!!" She squealed as the boys rolled their eyes in unison. Ian smiled slightly, "Hi Sarah…" He said sitting in the chair groaning. "What happened?" Lance asked throwing him a soda. Ian caught it, "Oh nothing really…Abs is driving me up the wall though." He said opening it. "She was like 'Ah dun see why you hang out with dose freak in da Brotherhood.'" They chuckled, mostly because of Abby and because Ian did a damn good job of sounding like her.
"Plus band practice was a nightmare…" "Really, do tell." "Well, let's see, Jacob blew the speakers somehow, Mike's strings broke on his bass, Widow was sick, Matt's drum stick broke. Just a total nightmare…" He said taking a sip of his soda. "This was classic, everyone says Laura's going to Bayville high." Sarah choked on her water. "Um…Ian…she is…." He spit out his soda. "Since when!?!" He asked. "I dunno…since she joined the X-Men." She said rolling her eyes. He snorted, "So she did join them…hm…interesting." He said throwing his empty can into the trash.
Sarah looked at the time, "Is it ok if I crash here for the night?" She asked looking up at Lance. "Yeah, I don't think Pietro would mind. YO PIETRO!!" "What!?!" "Can Sarah stay here for the night!?!" "Sure what ever!!" "Told ya." He said smirking. "If she's staying, then she can use my extra bed." Wanda said as Sarah stood, "Thanks Wanda." She said then looked at the boys, "Wait…" "None of them will get in…I promise." She said with a smirk then gave a glare to Todd. Todd smiled nervously as the two girls retreated. "So…I guess Quicksilver hasn't asked Sarah yet?" Ian asked with a smirk. "Nope. We're trying though, even though he's denying it the whole way." Lance answered hearing the song 'Sold Me' playing upstairs. "Man, she always blares that song…it gives me a headache…" Lance groaned.
"I'm turning in." Ian said with a stretch as Lance nodded, "Same here." The others went upstairs into their rooms and closed their doors.
:Xavier Institute:
"Laura, you can't go. You look like you were jumped by a group of thugs." Hank said as Laura pouted, "But Doctor McCoy! I was!!! The brotherhood!" She said. Hank sighed. She had been there the whole morning. She did look better, but he still didn't want her going to Bayville High looking like she was beaten by any of the other teens in the Institute. "If Kitty can go, I can too. Please?" She asked sticking out her bottom lip and giving him puppy dog eyes. Xavier rolled in and smirked, "Let her go Hank, if she looks better, she can go." "She still has her black eye Professor, plus the stitches on her cheek." Beast said as Xavier closed his eyes. Beast sighed, giving up, "Ok Laura…you can go." "YAY!!" She squealed giving Beast a hug. Beast smiled, "Now get out of here you." She ran out of the Infirmary and Beast shook his head, "She's a handful." "Yes, but a very joyful girl to have around. When she's happy everyone else is, but when she's not everyone isn't." Xavier said.
:Outside:
"Guys! Wait up!" She said as the other's turned, "Your coming?" Scott asked raising an eyebrow, "Yeah, Doctor McCoy said I could go." "Yay!!! We can like, now be together again." Kitty said as Laura laughed climbing into the back. Kurt looked at Laura from the corner of his eye, "You still have 'de stitches?" "Yeah…but Hank said that if I kept them covered it wouldn't provoke the students to actually do anything to me…hopefully…" "As long as we're all here and we don't expose our true forms in school, we'll all be fine." Rogue said in her southern accent. Scott turned on the radio and the guitar opening for 'Broken f/ Amy Lee' started. "Leave it!! I like this song." Laura said.
Seether
(Verse 1)
I wanted you to know
That I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain …away
I keep your photograph
And I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Seether & Amy Lee
(Chorus 1)
cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Seether
(Bridge)
You've gone away
You don't feel me here....anymore
Amy Lee
(Verse 2)
The worst is over now
And we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn
And no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Kitty, Rogue, and Laura sang along to the song. Kurt, Evan, Scott, and Jean were just silent as the three girls sang along to it.
Seether & Amy Lee
(Chorus 2)
cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
"How can you girls like this song?" Scott asked, "It's depressing." "That's why they like it." Jean answered.

Kitty and Rogue said. "Lance isn't, like, my boyfriend." "Yeah." Rogue said. Laura smirked and shook her head.
:Bayville High School:
Kurt, Evan, Laura, Rogue, and Kitty jumped out and saw Sarah, Pietro, Wanda, Todd, Lance, and Freddy standing there. "Oh great…" Kitty muttered. "Hi Laura." Sarah said smiling. Laura rose an eyebrow. She looked at the others who were just as confused. "What are you doing…" Pietro asked raising an eyebrow. "Relax Maximorff.." Sarah said grabbing her bag and walking towards Laura. Laura backed away growling, "Easy tiger…" Sarah said putting her hand up, "I'm not going to kill you." She said smiling. –Don't trust her- Jean told everyone telepathically. Laura backed away again and Sarah frowned. "I see…well…later Laura." She said walking away.
Laura watched as Sarah walked into Bayville High, "Hey, Sarah wait up." Kitty went wide eyed, "Um..Like…what are you doing?" Kitty asked. Laura didn't answer, but went to Sarah. "Yes?" "What with that scene yesterday?" Laura asked as they went through the doors. "I only did what I had to do. Believe me, I didn't want too, what about you? You were the one that had beaten the hell out of me." Laura smirked, "Just doing my job." She said as Sarah shoved her.
"Witch." "Jackass." Both girls laughed as they walked into homeroom. Kitty and Kurt looked away from Laura. "Come on, you can sit next to me." Sarah said. Laura followed Sarah and sat behind her. Sarah turned around, "So, why do you hang out with them?" she asked tilting her head towards Kitty and Kurt. "Their my friends." "Ha! Everyone knows that those kinds of mutants can't be trusted." Sarah said. "I was told that you can't be trusted." Sarah gasped, "Me? Oh Laura…they've already poisoned your mind with lies…."
"Huh?" Laura asked raising an eyebrow, "Xavier lies to his students….there's no such things as bad and good mutants. I mean, come on, we're all the same right?" "Yeah…" "Then why would their be any evil ones? It's absolutely absurd the way Charles lies to his students. Then there's Logan…" She gasped and closed her eyes putting a hand to her heart, "he's the WORST of them all…" Laura blinked. Was Sarah lying to her or was she telling the truth? Sarah shook her head and tsked. "You need to join a good reliable team…like…mine! We're all the same, we don't diverse one another…" She said then glared, "besides one, but he's just an jackass." She said as the bell rang the students stood and walked to their classes, "What do you have first?" Sarah asked. "I have English." Laura answered. (oh yeah…I forgot to say that the freshmen and some juniors share the same homeroom so uh yeah) "Cool, I have um…" Sarah thought for a moment, "Oh yeah, I have Gym." She said rolling her eyes.
Laura laughed, "I'll see you at first lunch ok Laura?" "Okay." "Bye." Sarah said going the other direction towards the Gym.
:English room:
Laura sat down sticking her bag under the seat as Kitty sat next to her. Laura shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She could almost sense that Kitty was disappointed, angry, and upset with her. The teacher walked in and set a quiz on their desks, "You have the period to do it, if you finish, you can do something else." She said returning to her desk. The bell, signaling the beginning of class, rang and the students started. Laura stared at the test. Man, she wished she had at least done her homework, but she didn't. Near the end of class Kitty nudged her with her foot.
Laura looked over and Kitty tapped her pencil on the test. Laura looked up to see that the teacher wasn't looking. She took the quiz off of Kitty's desk carefully, copied the answers, and just before the bell rang she quickly handed it to Kitty. The bell rang and they turned in their tests and walked out. Laura walked silently beside Kitty, "Um…Kitty…" "Like, yeah?" Kitty asked, "Are you mad at me?" Kitty's eyes narrowed at this question but she sighed, "No, I like, don't know…I got to like…get going." She said walking away.
:Lunch:
Laura walked outside and saw Sarah. She looked to the side to see Evan, Kurt, and Kitty looking at her then looked away. Laura sighed and went over to Sarah, "Hiya Laura!" She said smiling. Laura gave a weak smile, looking back over at the other three, Evan and Kitty were laughing cuz Kurt was being weird, as usual. She sighed again, "Awe…what's wrong." Sarah asked putting an arm around Laura's shoulders, "I don't know…" Laura answered. Sarah looked at the table with the three X-Geeks at it. Kurt and Kitty glared at her as she stuck her tongue out at them.
"Very mature Sarah." Sarah nearly jumped seeing Pietro suddenly there. "Could you not do that?" She asked glaring. "Hey, I have to live up to my name." "Or your nickname, Speedy." "Don't ever call me that." Sarah grinned as Pietro glared at her. Pietro saw Laura there, "Who's your friend?" He asked. "This is Laura. She's having some trouble with the three X-Gee…I mean…her friends." "Poor girl…your always welcome to stay with Sarah…" He said sitting next to Laura. Sarah eyed him, what in the world was he up to? He stretched and yawned, "Man…I can't wait for school to let out." "Why? So you can just annoy the hell out of everyone near you?" Sarah asked.
Pietro glared at her as Lance, Todd, Wanda, and Freddy came over. "Yo." Lance said, "Who's this pretty lady?" He asked seeing Laura and smirked.
:Kitty, Evan, and Kurt:
Kitty looked over, disgusted, "Okay, I'm like, going over there and getting her." She said standing as Evan pulled her down, "No way sister…your not going over there." He said. "I have to like save Laura from them." Evan sighed. "Alright. I'll come too." "Me too." Kurt said standing. All three of them walked over as Lance and Pietro stood, "What do you want pretty kitty?" Lance asked. "Move it. I'm getting Laura." "Uh, Laura's ours now." Pietro said smirking.
Kurt clenched his fists, "Move, or be prepared for ze beating of your life." Pietro chuckled, "I think it's going to be the other way around X-Geek." He said. "Just hand her over Quicksilver before you get yourself hurt." Evan said as the rest of the team got up and stood between the three X-Men and Laura. "It's us against you three. Hm…not a good chance of you guys winning." Pietro said as Evan threw his fist foreword Pietro dodged grabbing Evan's arm and twisting it back. Evan hissed, but even before a full frontal battle began, Mr. Kelly came out, "Pietro, Evan, stop that at once." He said as Pietro let go of Evan Kitty and Kurt went to him. "You okay Evan?" Kitty asked as he nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine." He answered. Laura got out from behind the group and went over to Evan, Kitty, and Kurt and stood by them. Sarah stared at Evan's left leg for a moment then twisted her hand behind her. Evan yelped as he dropped. "Evan, are you okay?" Laura asked, "Yeah…my leg…" Mr. Kelly glared at Sarah, who stopped and crossed her arms. Laura put one of Evan's arms around her shoulders and Kurt did the same to the other, "Come on, let's get you to the nurse." Laura said as they started to make their way, slowly, to the nurse.
After they were gone he turned on the group and glared giving them the 'I'll-deal-with-you-later' making the group, except Pietro, cringe.
:After School:
Laura sat up in her room with her CD player blaring her Ciara CD as she did her homework, one hand holding her head that was entangled in her hair, and the other holding her pencil. Man…I need help with this crap. She thought to herself. "If x is 15 and it's cubed…what's the full answer…" She muttered to herself before slamming her head on the desk. "AUGH!! I hate math…" She said to herself as she stared out the window. It was a nice day and, of course, she was the only one inside doing her homework. Laura sighed before slamming her head back down on the desk.
"Ya know…if ya keep doing that your gonna give yourself a headache." "Yeah…math gives me a headache anyway." She said finishing the problem that she was having trouble with then closed the book and leaned back in her chair. Logan closed the door and leaned against it. "Why aren't ya outside with the others?" He asked as Laura shrugged. "I'm doing my homework." She answered putting her feet up on the desk and crossing her legs. "Well your not now." She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms looking out the window. "Why did you leave me…" Logan blinked at her. "You could of grabbed me." "Look, kid, I wasn't able to. I already had your twin to worry about. You were knocked out, I couldn't get to you. You don't think I felt guilty?" He asked with a growl.
Laura glared out the window. "Yeah, right, you probably didn't want to get to me." "Laura, you were only three, how would ya know?" "I was found in the woods and brought to the orphanage, that's how I know." She said, her temper rising, "You probably didn't care what happened to me or my sister! Your just as heartless as the Brotherhood team!" She screamed. Logan was taken aback, but glared at her, "Don't you ever compare me to them." "I'll do whatever the hell I want! The first thing, getting out of this place!" She said running past him and out into the hall, "Laura…wait, LAURA!" Laura ran downstairs and out the door.
"Laura? Laura where are you going?" Evan asked grabbing her arm. "Let go of me Evan…" She said. "Laura, come on, tell me what's wrong. We're all friends here. Well…some of us…" he said glaring at Sunspot and Bezerker. "I just need to think for awhile, Evan." She said ripping her arm away from him. Evan frowned, "Well…do you want any of us to come?" He asked. Laura sighed and ran a hand through her hair, a bad habit she had when she was stressed out, confused, or just plain tired of being bugged. "No…I really think I should go by myself…" She said pushing open the front gate and walking out. Evan watched her as Storm walked over, "Auntie Ro…" "Follow her Evan, I don't want her getting hurt." Storm said as Evan nodded. He took off after Laura.
:In the park:
Laura sat on a park bench looking up at the blue sky that was starting to darken. Laura…Laura jumped from the voice in her head and looked around nervously, "W-Who's there…" She asked with a shaky voice. No one was even in the park with her. Where could that voice come from? Or who did it belong too? No need to be scared Laura…We're alone now…She was seriously scared now. "SHOW YOURSELF!!" She yelled into the now dark. She hated this and she started trembling. The voice chuckled, I'm closer to you then you know Laura…Laura spun around and screamed.
:Outside the park:
Evan looked up hearing a scream from the park. He guessed it was Laura. "Laura?! LAURA!!" He called. "LAURA!!" He stopped seeing a figure holding her. The girl was passed out and her head was hanging over the figure's arm. Evan went wide eyed then growled, "PUT HER DOWN!!" He yelled. The figure smirked, "You think I'm going to listen to a kid like you?" it said chuckling. "No, but you'll listen to ME!" Evan turned seeing Logan in his yellow and black outfit kicking the figure and caught Laura before she fell onto the ground.
The figure growled then charged at Logan. Logan threw Laura to Evan. Evan ran foreword and caught her, "Take her back Evan! I'll hold Sabertooth off." Logan said as Evan began to run he was stopped. Damn it…Evan thought to himself as a girl stepped foreword, her chain snapped against the ground, "Now's the time for some real fun…" She said with a smirk then snapped it again as John and Remy stepped foreword. "Logan…" Evan said backing away. "Use your spikes, Spyke! That's what ya named for!" He said back dodging Sabertooth's claws in time. Evan sighed and his spikes jutted out hitting John, Remy, and the girl back. Evan retracted them and ran as fast as he could.
In the course of running, a roll of ground made him go in the air letting go of Laura and fell flat on his back as Laura fell two feet in front of him. Evan quickly crawled towards her, grabbing her, then started running again. She was stirring slightly, but it wasn't a normal way of stirring, she was being lifted out his arms. What in the!?! –Evan, let her go, it's me, Jean. I'll keep her safe in the air.- Jean said telepathically to Evan. Evan threw her up as he kept running. Jean caught Laura and she floated off, Evan running below her.
As Jean kept going a sudden burst of air blew and she dropped Laura, "EVAN!! HEADS UP!" She called down. Evan skidded and caught Laura as he looked up he saw a boy keeping Jean away, "THIS IS INSANE!" He yelled to himself. The Institute wasn't far so he ran faster. Instead of pushing the gate open he jumped over it clearing it then ran into the mansion panting, "Man…that was some CRAZY shit…" He said as he walked into the living room and placed Laura on the couch. Who ever was after her and wanted her…wanted her badly.
HL: oO this fic just gets weirder and weirder by the minute…
TBC…
