Chapter 7
X-T sat on the hotel with knees to her chest. She really didn't want to come here, but something inside of her told her that she really didn't have a choice. Kyle walked into the room carrying two meat dinners. He threw one in front of X-T, also throwing a fork and a knife. X-T sat cross legged and dug her face into the dinner. It tasted so good. She hadn't have a good meal in over a week.
"You know, you never were always so uptight," Kyle said sitting at the table across from X-T's bed. She looked up at him and cocked and eyebrow.
"When was that? Before I turned six?" X-T said, continuing to eat her dinner.
"Actually, it was after, well, your operation-"
"That's when I found out who I was meant to be. A killing machine, and that's it," X-T said looking up at Kyle. Kyle looked into his glass of Pepsi, then took a sip.
"But the thing is, I remember when you were happy. Playing in the sandbox with other kids, like there was-"
"Thank you, Mother Goose, but I don't believe in fairy tails any more," X-T interrupted. She looked back down at her plate, stabbed her fork into her meat, and cut a huge chunk of it off. Kyle just sat there and smiled.
"You used to come to me, "Push me, Kyle! I want to go higher than the sky!", but you'd always get disappointed because you wouldn't go that high," Kyle said with a laugh. He looked down at his drink, "Mom was very fond of you. You were like the daughter she never had. But, when you were about five, dad told her his plans for you," Kyle stopped. X-T looked up.
"She didn't like it, saying that you had suffered since the day you were born. So then one night, she left," Kyle said looking up at X-T, "To leave me and my father with you," X-T said nothing, she continued to stare at Kyle. She felt so burdened.
"Dad waited though. He wanted me to heal from my mom's run away. He waited when you were six, and that's when everything changed. Replacing furniture, late night searching, dealing with the temper problems," Kyle continued, "Dad told me it was our responsibility to watch over you, until you controlled yourself. I kept thinking, "Why do I have to watch her?" It's when Dad erased your memories a year after that, thinking you were so tempered because you missed mom. Turns out, there were over doses of the genic materials. Erasing you memory calmed you down, which dad then replaced them with martial arts and assassination moves. Less I saw of him, the more I shut him out of my life," Kyle set his drink on the table. X-T licked her lips.
"Kyle... I'm sorry..." X-T said looking over at him. Kyle looked at her, shrugged and smiled.
"I've gotten over it. Once I found out I can do this," Kyle snapped his fingers and a little flame sat on top of his index finger, "Life seemed better, knowing that my dad would see me more than just his son," Kyle blew out his finger, then turned to X-T, "but an actual person. From that point on, he respected me, probably thinking that I'd have the same problem you had,"
"But I killed your father. Does that mean anything to you?" X-T said placing her fork on her plate. Kyle looked up ane smiled.
"After I discovered I was a mutant, I searched through my dad's lap desk. Oh, he had plans to make more of you. Genetic layouts that showed what each of the clones would look like. From that point, I didn't even care if he would go to hell," Kyle said, picking up his glass and taking a sip. X-T laid her fork on her plate and looked at her meat, which was half finished.
"He was planning to make... more of me?" X-T said raising an eyebrow.
"Actually, more of people like you and that X-23. Also, he had some plan to make a clone like this other guy too. Red, or something," Kyle said. X-T couldn't believe it. More like her.
Logan, Professor Xavier, and X-23 sat around a table in Professor Xavier's study. Xavier sat with his finger propping up his head as he pondered on the matter of X-T.
"I'm tellin' you, Charles. That girl wasn't mad on her own self. Somethin' triggered her to set her off like that," Logan said leaning back. X-23 nodded in agreement.
"No joke, she had to be there for another reason other than to attack us," X-23 said looking at Xavier.
"She said she was there to kill me. Magneto, she had said, sent her, but she seemed confused. As if she was brainwashed," Xavier said. X-23 stood up and scooted from the table.
"Well lets find this girl before she causes any more damage!" X-23 said heading for the door. Logan got up and grabbed the back of her shirt.
"Not we, X. Just me. You stay here till I get back," Logan said walking past her. X-23 growled.
"You ain't my father, Logan," X-23 said with a sneer.
"In a sence, kid, I am," Logan said opening the door and exiting.
