Chapter Eleven – Awakening
Ororo got home about four in the morning, Logan went straight to the danger room to vent his frustration but Ororo just went into the kitchen to get some water, then she was going to go to her garden and plant some more flowers she had bought and tidy up and look after all her other ones. She held the rose in her hand lightly, so not to crush it, she would have to find a place for it in her garden.
When she walked into the kitchen she saw Jean sitting on one of the high stools. She was crying into her cup of tea, Ororo got worried very quickly and rushed over to grab her cup out of her hand, to find that it was freezing cold.
"What's the matter Jean?" She asked, her warm accent, thick with kindness, only made Jean feel worse and she let out a sob. Ororo put her arm around her and rubbed her back, she felt the tensed muscles and wondered if maybe her and Scott had gotten into a fight.
Jean picked up this thought, and shook her head, "No, Scott's been perfect. It's me. Everything has just gotten so over whelming, with Rogue and the-" she stopped and took a deep breath in, "'Ro, I'm pregnant."
Ororo's mouth widened and she felt waves of happiness and excitement build up inside of her. She reached out to hug and congratulate Jean but she held her back,
"No, that's….that's why Rogue did it. She absorbed my powers and saved us because she knew if I did it…..the baby…..the baby would have been kil- killed as well. She saved us both." New tears fell and Ororo was shocked, she knew Rogue was a kind person and would give up anything to save others. But how did Rogue know? Not even she did and she was supposed to be Jean closest friend.
"How am I going to tell everyone 'Ro? You've seen how upset everyone is, it's just all at the wrong time." Jean began to wipe her tears and tried to regain herself. She damned all hormones to hell and cursed Scott for getting her pregnant.
Ororo sat down on the stool next to her and brushed a couple strands of loose hair behind Jean's ear. "Maybe this is what everyone needs. Something lost, something gained. This could be the little bit of hope people are looking for."
Jean looked up into Ororo's eyes and saw the truth and support, it made her feel better. "Did you guys find anything?" She watched as Ororo shook her head and looked down at her feet. It was Rogue who she had first told and she helped her realise that it wasn't a bad thing, but then the whole Alkali Lake thing happened, then everything feel down around them all. Maybe things would start getting better now, maybe they could now get better, now that there wasn't any hope that Rogue was still alive. They could all start moving on.
They looked up at each other and smiled. They both realised how far they have fallen apart, they were so close at one point but now they haven't spoken in ages or just hung out.
"Let's go out today. My clothes are getting to tight anyway."

Kate fell onto her bed, it was nearly sun rise and she had just got back from a nights work of learning about safes and how to crack them. She had managed to open a couple but was still learning how to use the tools and how to figure out what the differences between different safes are and how to deal with them.
She enjoyed it, all the time knowing that was she was doing was wrong and illegal, yet she didn't care, all she knew was that it was great and she couldn't wait to get out and start doing this sort of thing, but she knew she still had a long way to go, these people had been doing this all their lives, there was no way she was as good as they were, she wouldn't be for awhile.
Climbing into bed she gathered the sheets and wrapped them around her. They were cool and comfortable she was about to lay down when she heard something fall on the floor, she lit a fire ball in her hand to look around. She saw a lamp on the ground and she was about to get up when she saw other objects floating around her. Her eyes wide she slowly lowered them and turned around, focusing on her breathing. Soon she was asleep and her mind began to relax. Tomorrow she was having another meeting with Betsy, hopefully they would work on her telekinesis, her other powers could wait.

Logan got out of the shower after a tough two hour Danger Room session, he had fought Mystique and that always calmed him down. Running his hand through his wet hair, he got out the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist and walked out the changing room. He walked past a couple of students who just giggled and ran away, he growled at there immaturity and turned a corner and crossed past Scott. He rolled his eyes, knowing he was about to get yelled at for wearing 'improper articles around the mansion'. Sighing he turned to face him, his room was only three feet away!
"Logan. Can you take the fourth years third period? I got to go with Xavier to a meeting." Scott asked him lightly. Logan raised an eye brow, this wasn't like Mr Scott stick up my ass Summers. This person was calm and relaxed, Logan shifted and took a couple of sniffs of the scents around him, just to check that this was actually Scott and not Mystique.
"Sure." He replied after he was certain that this was Scott, "What lesson?"
"English. In P1-13." He thanked him and turned around and began to walk down the hall. Logan wondered what had gotten into him, maybe he finally got that stick removed, he pondered it for a second, but shook his head.
He was about to go into his room when he heard Scott call back to him.
"And Logan, make sure you are wearing clothes when you teach them, their only fourteen year olds, I don't think they need to see you in a towel just yet." Logan smirked and shut his door behind him. He dropped his towel and made his way over to the wardrobe, he pulled out a pair of jeans and a shirt that were just laying on the top of a pile of clothes that he had chucked at the bottom of the thing and walked over to his draws and pulled out a pair of boxers and some socks and pulled them on as well as the clothes and was about to leave when he heard a small buzz of electricity, which could only mean his phone was about to go off. He picked it up wondering who would call him, he didn't even know that that the thing worked.
"'Lo?" he winced, he really didn't like phones. He heard a noise on the other side, it sounded like some one sitting up on a bed, but over phones he couldn't tell.
"Hey, this is Psylocke." Logan's eyes widened and his eye brows shot up. How did she get his number? He didn't even know his number. He didn't know what to say, why would she call him? Had she found something out about Rogue?
"Look, I don't really know why I'm calling you…. I haven't found anything about your friend, I just felt the need to ring you. God this is stupid of me." He heard her say, she sounded confused, yet she still had that tough feel to her. He could just picture her standing, holding the phone to her ear and a gun in the other. It was a strange image, yet Logan just smirked at it.
"Nah, it's fine, got nothin' else to do any way. How'd you get this number?"
There was a pause, but she soon answered, "You really think the guild isn't good enough to find out something as simple as a number?"
"What's your real name? It's not Psylocke." He really didn't know what to say. He never spoke much as it was, he was more of a physical person, he was just there, sometimes listening, sometimes fighting, and never really talking. It just made him uncomfortable and he never knew what to say, like when he was on the train with Rogue, he had managed to say a couple things and it seemed to make her feel better, but he didn't even remember what he said now, only the promise he never kept. His promise to look after her and make sure she was safe and nothing happened to her.
"It's Betsy. I hate it, makes me sound like a ninety year old woman with grey hair and a bad perm." Logan smirked and looked at his watch. It was nearly twelve, the lesson he had to teach was a half past.
"The name might, but I know you're sure as hell not. Hey, you know anything 'bout teachin' English?" he heard a laugh on the other side.
"What to kids?"
"Yeah, kind of. I'm supposed to be a teacher here. But all I really do is sit around and occasionally teach defence."
"Oh, well, I'm not a kid person. I really can't deal with them, there just so annoying." Logan smirked, this woman had just said his idea of kids out loud, she was like a female version of him.
He let out a snort and shifted on the bed. "Yeah, so far all I got is 'Logan, do whatever you want as long as you're all quite an' if One-eye asks, I taught you somethin', I'll be over here.'"
They both laughed, Logan moved the phone to his other ear. God, he hated these things. He guessed it was that he didn't like not seeing who he was talking to, not being able to smell them out or know what their doing. He didn't like not having his senses.
"One-eye?" She asked lightly. Logan wasn't sure what to say, he was aware that she wasn't something to really be friends with, but she was different from the other people of that guild. She was the one helping them out when Jean-Luc wouldn't.
"Er….just a guy who lives 'ere too, with a stick so far up his ass that it's poking at his eye. Look I got to go anyway, that lesson starts in half hour, an I still got to find the place."
"Hang on. The girl, the one you were looking for. She had longish brown hair right? You stabbed her didn't you?" Her voice was cautious and weary, and also rushed, like this was the reason she was calling, and she couldn't hang up until she knew it.
Logan was getting angry, how did she know that? That was personal information and if she knew that, did that mean she knew where Rogue was?
"Yes, how do you know that?" His voice was building up with anger and he knew that he was nearly shouting, his breath was ragged and he was finding it hard not to release his claws.
"I saw it in your mind." Her voice was lowered, like she was trying not to burst or yell at him. "It's just we have a new person here, and if the girl in your mind was the one you were looking for, then its not the girl we have here. I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure." With that she hung up.
Logan was pissed off to say the least, he slammed the phone down and opened his door and it slammed into the wall. He stalked down the halls and walked past a room with the 'P1-13' engraved in a small black sign, with white letters. He pulled the door open and heard a couple girls gasp at his violence. He walked over to the desk and sat on the chair behind it, he opened some of the draws and looked through them, he found a pen and a piece of paper and wrote on it. He handed it to a kid at the front, the boy looked up at him with wide eyes. Logan pulled out a cigar from his pocket and was about to light it but realised he didn't have a lighter. He looked at it for a second then at the kids around him.
"Okay, any of you able to light this?" He asked. After a second he saw a couple hands go up, he walked over to one kid and tilted his head. "What your powers?"
The kid's eyes widened. "I can shift. It's like teleporting only-"
"Yeah, that's great, how is that gunna make this light itself." What was the point of that kid putting her hand up if she can't light it?
The girl rummaged in her pocket and bought out a lighter and twirled the wheel around and held it out to him. He smirked and held his cigar to the flame.
"Good, now who did I hand that paper to?"
Another kid, at the front, put his hand up.
"Okay, what it say?"
The kid looked confused and he nervously spoke. "Mutants."
"Bit louder, there are some students back there that can't hear you." Logan said, he could hear the kid fine, but he could also see some strained and confused faces at the back of the room.
"M-Mutants!" The kid said louder, the faces Logan was looking at in the back lost their strained looks, but they still held the confusion.
"What does that mean?" He asked the class, he walked over to the desk and sat down, taking a deep drag of his cigar.
One kid, with messy brown hair, stuck her hand up, she had a note book open and was looking like she was writing something. She wasn't looking up, just holding her hand in the air whilst she wrote.
"Yep." Logan shouted up to her.
She kept her head down and spoke, "It's a result from or undergoing mutation."
Logan sighed and rested his elbow on the desk in front of him. "That's a great definition, if I wanted that answer I would have read on of those dictionaries this classroom most likely has. New question, what does Mutants mean to you?" He sat back and watched some hands rise, he nodded at one of them.
"It's a group of people who have a certain over grown gene that makes them special and makes them have powers."
"Okay, good answer, any others?" Logan sat back and rested his feet on the desk. This was a little thing he had seen awhile ago, a big discussion that people will remember, and learn new things like different perspectives and opinions of others around them with minimal effort from he, he just had to sit back, give them a couple guide lines and stop them from over running each other.
Slowly more and more people grew confident, expressing their thoughts, worries and theories. He didn't need to point to people for them to speak now, they just spoke when the other finished. Everyone had different views and Logan was glad about that, he would have killed something if they had all just said the same thing.
One kid had just spoken about how his power saved his family and how even though his family had rejected him now, he was still glad that they had developed and he had saved them then they hadn't and his family were all dead.
One girl at the back started speaking, she was shy at first but she held something that made everyone shut up and listen. "Yeah, powers are great, but….there not at the same time. Everything good has bad an equal amount that has to happen so everything will be even. I was at Alkali Lake when that girl, Rogue, she used her powers to save everyone, which is great, that's why I'm here right now, but she had to give up her life to be able to do that."
All around the room there was silence, Logan seem to feel hot and flustered yet cold and unable to move, this was one of the girls on the jet, Logan didn't remember her, but just the fact that this girl was someone that Rogue helped seemed to change him, he wasn't sure why, but he sat forward and listened intensely to the girl.
"And she didn't even have good powers or a good life before that anyway, it was a life of going bad to worse to crap. That's not fair, there are kids who have loving families, money, everything and on the other end of the scale there is people who cant touch, who have to distance themselves from everyone to save them and then die young, never having a real life to begin with. I don't mean to drag everyone down, my powers are great now I can control them, but I think we need to be thankful for the fact we're lucky. There are different types of Mutants, ones with powers out in the open like Nightcrawler, and ones that can hide them, like Miss Grey. Good and bad, I was captured by a mutant with fucked up fingers, and I was saved by one, one who I don't even know how she did it! In my opinon, it may be stupid, but I think pretty much the closest way to compare and explain it, but yin and yan, two sides one white one black, yet theres a little bit of black in the white and visa versa."
There was an eerie silence when everyone was thinking and remembering different things. After a couple minutes a boy down at the front spoke up.
"I remember Rogue, she helped me with History once, she said she hated History but she still helped me. She told me she couldn't touch people, yet she was really nice bout it."
"Yeah, one time, my powers were crazy, I had to much of them and she like, touched me a little and took some into herself. She saved my life and I didn't find out til after she died, so I couldn't do anything, like say thanks."
"She helped me escape when those army men came, I couldn't find the tunnel, she had to open it then had to distract two of those guys while me and a couple others ran."
A big discussion came out about Rogue, turns out while Logan was gone she had made friends and helped a lot of people. He felt pride rise in him, his Rogue really made a difference round here. The bell went yet the discussion went on for a couple more minutes, until he saw Jean leaning against the door. She had a warm smile on her face and her arms were crossed over her chest, Logan coughed and stood up.
"Okay kids, lesson finished ages ago, you can all leave. I don't want to be here any longer then I need to be." He said, trying to sound angry. As students left one came up to the front and handed a piece of paper to him, it was the same messy haired girl from the beginning, Logan just nodded and she smiled and left.
When all the students had left Jean came in fully and smiled at him and leaned on the desk. "Seemed like quite a lesson. Though I don't think any of them leant any English."
"Yeah well, it was either this or I get drunk and see what happens then." He spoke he took the paper that the student gave him, it had a picture of Rogue on it, she was sitting on a bench underneath a tree and around her there was other people walking, but she was writing in a book. Around the outside there were a couple things that Logan raised an eyebrow at, his bike in the bottom corner, his dog tags going down the side of the drawing. He wasn't sure how this girl or why even she did this.
"You know she grew up a lot while you were gone, we were going to make her an X-man. We counted it up for reports, she saved fifteen people that day." Jean said lightly.
"I counted fourteen." Logan said, he folded the picture in half and in half again and put it in his pocket. He looked up Jean and she had a certain look on her face, Logan got worried, he stood up straight and tilted his head. "What? Is there something…."
Jean smiled warmly and put her hand on her stomach, "I'm pregnant." Logan raised an eyebrow, "That's why she did it. It was suppose to be me out there, but she absorbed it, my powers…. Did it 'cause she didn't want me to hurt the baby."
"You? It was meant to be you? How? How would you have? How did she though?"
"Over the past two months my powers were going crazy, I think it was because of the baby. She absorbed me and went out there with my powers." Jean was now looking at Logan's shoes. She still felt guilty about it all, it still should have been her out there.
Logan didn't know what to say, he just looked at her face, she wasn't looking at him, he wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing, it was pissing him off but he knew if she looked at him it would only be worse. He just resulted to stalking out after hugging her very uncomfortably and muttering a "Congratulations."
Jean just watched him leave and fell to the floor, and cried. She didn't know why, that was a better reaction then she thought she'd ever get from Logan.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Kate sat up in bed, she had had a bad dream, only she couldn't remember it, she tried to think about what it might have been about but every time she kept thinking about it, she kept on finding nothing. Frustrated she got out of bed and walked over to the door leading to her bathroom. She got undressed and was still dazed as she removed her sweat damp clothes.
As she stepped into the shower the water trickled down her back and it awakened her to an extent, she ran her hands up her arms and over her shoulders, the warm water running over her skin, she rubbed the bit of skin above her breast and pressed three fingers over a clear area. She shook her head and quickly washed her hair when she remembered she had a training session at one, she checked the clock next to her bed before she got in the shower and it was just gone twelve, so she had time, but she didn't want to be late. She had only got about six hours sleep but she didn't care, she felt energy building up inside her. After 'absorbing' Remy, they had kind of avoided each other, it was only for about a day now, but it was going to be strange seeing him, just it being them two alone together, fighting in such close proximity, it wasn't going to be comfortable and it was most likely going to be filled with a lot of questions that she didn't know the answers too.
She stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself quickly as the coldness bit at her. She ran a comb though her hair and brushed her teeth before leaving the bathroom and moving back into her room. She found a package on her bed and she approached it vigilantly, she flipped open the lid and saw a lot of black inside the white box. She made sure her towel was secure then she took out the object and held it out in front of her, it was a uniform. It was a mix of what she had seen some people wearing around the mansion and something completely new. It was black mainly, made out of a spandex sort of material, it looked like the stuff they made scuba diving outfits out of, only this looked thinner. It had some leather bits, a bit patch over her chest and shoulders. She didn't like the way big gaps were missing though, if she wore this half her stomach would show as well as patches down her legs. She tilted her head and grabbed some underwear from a draw and got changed into it.
She smiled when she had it on, she ran a finger down the red and green stitching in the black leather. She let out a laugh and moved her shoulders, it was hard at first but it became easier after a minute. She stretched, trying to wear in the leather a bit before she went to training, she glanced at the clock and did a double take when she saw it was almost one. She let out a yelp and quickly fled her room and ran to the gym. When she got there she was surprised to find she wasn't out of breath. She stood up straight and saw Remy, she smiled lightly at him and walked over to him, he moved his head and released a metal pole to its full length. She took a step back out of reflex and did a quick scan, she saw a pair of Sais. She turned back to Remy, he saw this exchange and smirked, he jumped forward and launched into an attack.
Kate turned to the side and grabbed the top of his Bo-staff with her right hand, she used it to push him so he was facing her and she quickly grabbed the bottom end of the staff with her left hand, causing a X effect with her arms. She quickly twisted them and the staff that Remy held onto quickly made his arms cross and hers uncross. She pushed him back right after and he staggered back a few steps. With that, Kate ran over and grabbed the Sais and held them out in a defence stance. Remy did a bow and dropped his staff. Kate relaxed and lowered her hands. They came together in the middle of the room and Remy sat on the ground and motioned for Kate to join him.
"'Oui, let's start, first off, Remy thin' de outfit look tres belle on you." At this Kate blushed and looked down at herself. She looked up and Remy winked at her, she just rolled her eyes and tilted her head, telling him to get on with it. "Second, Remy thin' you be needin' a code name."
Kate gave him a confused look, but a couple seconds later recognition flashed over her face, she smiled and got a mysterious glint in her eyes.
"Remy's be-"
"Gambit." She cut him off, he just nodded and gave her a warily look. Kate knew that what she had just said was a mistake, but she tried to act normal and let him continue.
"Oui, Gambit. What you think yours should be? Somethin' bout yo' powers or personality 'elps."
Kate looked at her hand and remembered a conversation that felt like it happened years ago, come flooding back from when her and Mattie first met and she smiled widely up at Remy. "Phoenix Rose."
Remy gave her a brief look that she couldn't recognize, but he quickly spoke up, "Bon, Remy like it. Phoenix, de flames, it make sense."
"Cool." Kate said and she felt her hand twitch, she looked down at it and tried to ignore it, but it just twitched again. Soon she felt it clawing at her leg, she tried to stop it, Remy was getting concerned too, he had come over and grabbed it, but she just pushed him away. She didn't understand what was happening, every part of her body began to implode and she lost control of everything until she felt herself fall, only to have Remy catch her.
Her last conscience thoughts were that his hand felt so burning hot against her stomach.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
She looked around and found herself at a lake. It was huge and filled with calm water that slowly moved in the breeze. She looked around and saw nothing else, except a couple forms of other life, a tree and a bird.
She was about to move when she saw a massive fiery force in front of her. She stopped in her tracks and couldn't look away. A voice in her head started speaking to her,
'This wasn't meant to happen and for that I must apologize, but I am in need of something you have.'
Kate looked around, worried, she turned to face the fire again only to find it had moved closer to her. She spoke out, unable to find what had spoken to her in the first place.
"Look, ah'm sorry ta. But who are ya? An' what do ya need? Cause I don't know."
'I need your body. I was to claim another, but you replaced it with your own, so now I need yours. It is for the greater good.'
"Greater good? Ah'm sorry, but ah don't think ya can have mah body, ah'm kind of using it at the moment, but thanks, ah'll be sure ta think of ya next time ah find an out of use body around."
She tried to move but found herself pushed into the water only to reach for the surface and out of the shock and find herself on the bank, dry again.
'No! I will not rest until I have done what I came here to do!' Kate nearly fell over in the shock but found she couldn't move. She just stood there, trying to figure out what was going on. Everything was getting hotter and everything she tried to think about only lead to that fact she wanted to die and get away from it, this thing that wanted her, this thing that wanted her body to do something she didn't even know.
"Why?" she asked, weakly, she felt herself getting light headed, she was losing the fight, she got a brief flash of the game chess. She was being closed in and around by many different pieces and every way she turned the other person found a way to stop her going there and being free.
'Why? Because it is my destiny. Not yours. Not that Jean Grey who I was suppose to end up in, but mine! It was why I was created and why I am where I am now. Your ignorant, and I am so tempted to kill you right now,' Kate let out a whimper, 'But I can't. Because I need you.' The voice was getting more and more insane and closer to her. She was trying to breathe but couldn't find the oxygen. She tired to move but found that every time she did it would only burn more and she would only get weaker. She let out a cry and looked over to the water, wishing she was drenched in its cool refreshing moisture again, where she could be free and live.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
When she fell into Remy's arms he felt her metal pain. He had to find Betsy, she was the only one who could help her if it was a mental thing going on. Sure he was an empathy, but that only effected peoples emotions, not there metal state.
Rushing out of the gym he jogged up to the living room, hoping to find her there. She was and Remy gave her a pleading look. She was flicking through a book but when she saw Kate and opened up her walls so she could try and figure out what was wrong, she dropped the book. The pain was too much, she slammed her shields closed and walked over to her.
"Put her on the couch."
When Remy did she bent down and grabbed the sides of Kate's head. She went deep into her mind and felt herself fall almost, into the middle of whatever was happening. She saw Kate almost dead yet still standing. She also sensed a presence. It was something completely alien. She stood up and faced it. She tackled it bit by bit, starting where it was weakest, its metal ability, then moving on. When Betsy was about she lock the thing away, she looked into it's mind and found out what it was, and how it got there, everything about it, she nearly fell over in shock, but she kept on going. She took every bit of Kate's strength and power and with her help she locked it away. It would take time before they could get rid of it, but it wasn't going anywhere now.
Betsy walked over to Kate and reached out to her. She touched the sides of her face again and that's when they both came back to the living room. Kate had tears streaming down her face, she bolted up and she felt so much of herself burning and so much pain in her head she was shaking. Betsy tried to steady her by holding her head.
Kate let out a scream and rocked back and forth. Her eyes tried to focus but the pain was too much, she saw what she could make out to be Betsy and she sniffed before whimpering and blinking to get her into focus.
"Please," more tears streamed down her face as she rocked back and forth more violently, causing Remy and another guild member to come in and hold her down. "….Kill me."
Betsy and Remy's eyes widened in astonishment. Kate started to convulse and scream out louder. She sounded like everything was being torn out of her and Remy felt like anger build up inside of him and he bit down on his lip to stop him from charging anything and blowing it up.
Kate slowly stopped moving and relaxed. Remy's eyes widened more and he looked up at Betsy. Betsy finished her scan and looked up into Remy's burning eyes, she could almost see fire in them, she was taken aback but she just returned the stare.
"She's in a coma. She'll be fine, her mind has a lot of healing to do."
Remy didn't question her, she was one of the best physics in the world and he trusted her. He still didn't relax though, and neither did she or Kate. Kate laying on the couch, occasionally twitched and whimpered something, before relaxing and shifting again.
Remy looked down at her pain stricken face and felt his heart contract and then be pulled at. He realised, that he couldn't lose her. Because if he did, he wasn't sure he would ever feel this way about someone again, he knew for sure he had never felt this way before. He reached down and picked her up, so they could move her to her room, and she snuggled up close to him. He briefly closed his eyes and then tried not to focus on that fact that it sounded like she whimpered his name.

Please Review, I appreciate them all and I respond to them all as well.
