Homecoming Wars

Chapter 7: Recognition

The X-Men have been home from the battle with the mutant for just over an hour. Kitty was down in the med-lab, Hank was trying his hardest to figure out what was wrong with her, everything seemed normal except for her brain wave patterns. Kurt and Evan were down by her bedside waiting for her to wake up. The new mutant had been placed in a secure room in the med-lab and was tied to the bed. Up in the professors office the professor was having a meeting with Logan, Scott, and Jean.

"What do we do with her professor?" Scott asked

"I do not know Scott" Xavier said

"Do you know who she is professor?" asked Jean

"Again I do not know" Xavier said "The girl has good mental blocks, I can not get past them"

"Did you see what her power is Logan?" asked Scott

"I thinks she's got the same as Half-pint" Logan Stated "She phased through one of my attacks"

"Interesting" Xavier said

They sat in silence thinking about what to do for a while when there was a knock at the. With a quick scan of who is outside he lets them in.

"Come in Ororo" Xavier said

All heads turn to the door as Ororo walks in, mostly surprised to see back so soon. Sensing her panic Xavier sighs

"We will talk about this later" Xavier said "In the mean time get some rest and try and get Evan and Kurt away from the med-lab please" Scott, Jean and Logan Nod and leave the room

"What happened Charles" Ororo asked

"We went to deal with a dangerous mutant this afternoon and unfortunately Kitty ended up in a coma. Though we can not determine why she is in one in the first place." Xavier said sadly

"Where is this mutant now Charles" Ororo asked

"Down in a secure room down in the med-lab. Why?"

"Charles, Maries powers manifested eight months ago, she put a boy in a coma for three weeks and they could not figure out why he was in one" Ororo stated

"You think this girl might be Marie?"

"Maybe" Ororo said "That's why I came back she took off after the boys father sent FOH after her. Sarah asked me to look for her and bring her here for a while"

"She can not stay here after attacking one of our own Ororo"

"Yes I know that, can I go down and see if it is her?"

"Yes, and be careful"

Ororo walked into the med-lab to see Kitty on one of the beds and Hank over at his desk looking through bits of paper. Sighing she walked over to Kitty and looked down on her.

Hank looked up to see Ororo by Kitty's bed

"You are back early Ororo" He said

"Yes well, the girl got her mutant powers and ran. I got asked to look for her. But I think that maybe you all found her for me" she said motioning the locked door behind Hank

"Ohh, you wish to see her" Ororo nodded "Very well follow me, and put these on" he said handing her some surgical gloves, noticing the strange look he was getting he said "When I was fixing up the girl I got kind of stung when I touch her skin" Ororo nods and enters the room

Ororo looked down at the girl on the bed and sighed

"Marie why did you have to resort to violence?" she asked "You could have stayed with me here" she said and sat down near Maries bed

------

The first thing that Kitty realised was that her head hurt really badly. Slowly she opened her eyes to find that she was in the

Med-lab, groaning she sat up and put her hand to her head 'Like what happened?' she wondered while looking around the room.

Hank walked into the room to see Kitty sitting up and smiled at her while walking over to her bed.

"My dear are you okay" Hank asks and Kitty nods "I will call Charles to let him know you have awoken" he said walking over to the phone "You know you gave us quite a scare we had know idea what was wrong with you" Hank pointed out as he picked up the phone and told Xavier that Kitty had awoken. He then went back over to Kitty's bed side "How do you feel?"

"Like fine, apart from like the headache I have got" Kitty answered and Hank nodded and went over to a cupboard and got two painkillers then went to the sink and got a glass of water and then went back to Kitty and handed them to her "There you go" he said "Like thanks" she said putting the painkillers in her mouth and taking a mouthful of water

At that moment the professor wheeled himself in to see Kitty

"How do you feel Kitty?" Xavier asked as he wheeled to the bed

"Totally fine just like a little headache" Kitty said "But what happened to the girl?"

"We believe that the girl put you in a coma" Xavier stated and Kitty face paled 'Man she must be like one powerful mutant' Kitty thought to herself "How?"

"We do not know Kitty, Wolverine and Nightcralwer just found you and the girl in the ally" Xavier told Kitty and she gasped

"Did Logan like hurt her" Xavier nods "WHAT, is she okay?"

"Kitty can you tell me what happened in that ally?"

"Well I like got the girl to come and join us and I reached out to like take her hand and lead her like back to the jet. But when I touched her something happened"

"As did it when I tried to stich her up Charles" Hank added "I had to wear gloves to do so" Xavier looked at Hank and then turned to the room which Ororo and the girl were in

"It seems to me that our young friend's mutation deals with direct skin to skin contact. And judging from what Logan said she might take other mutants powers for a short time" Xavier said

Ororo can you come out here for a second?

Ororo came out of the room and when she saw Kitty awake she smiled at her then turned to the professor

"Ororo, I want you to talk to her when she wakes up, I need to know wether she attacked those people on purpose or not" Ororo frowns and says

"I thought you said she did attack those people on purpose"

"So did I, until what Kitty told me anyway, if she can not control what I think is her mutation then she can not have skin to skin contact without hurting people" He said and Ororo nods and sighs

"It makes sense, her father had a no touching power and could not control it for a long time" she says, Xavier nods

"We need to get her healed so I am going to call Logan down and touch her. If I am correct she should absorb his powers and heal herself" Xavier said Ororo nods

"Kitty you may go, it might not be safe down here for you okay" Kitty nods and leaves

Logan come down to the med-lab please

Around five minutes later Logan walks into the med-lab

"Whatcha want Charles" He asks

"I want you to touch the girl" Xavier said

"Why?" he asks

"Humour me" Xavier replies

"Fine"

Logan walks into the girls room and to her bed, he puts a bare hand on her face and feels a sort of pulling sensation and pulls back

"What the…" Logan trails off as he sees the girls wounds been healed

"Chuck she's healing" He says

"I thought as much" Xavier replied

"Whats going on here Chuck" Logan asks

"The girls power is touch Logan, she never attacked Kitty, she grabbed the girls hand to lead her to the jet after accepting to join us. Her hands were bare so she took Kitty's powers by accident" Xavier said

"Ohh" was all Logan could say

All four occupants of the room watched as the girls wounds healed up and then the girl tried to sit up but when found she couldn't she began to struggle

"Please calm down" Xavier said "You are safe, you are at my school for mutants"

"Ah don' think ah wanna be here" the girl said "Ya'll attacked meh" she hissed eyeing Logan

"Yes we apologise for that. We thought you attacked young Kitty"

"Well ya thought wrong so untie meh so ah can leave" she spat

"Child please calm down" Ororo says while walking to the front of the group

The girl looks up and sees the older woman and calms down

"Stormy" she asks Ororo nods and sits on a chair near the girl's bed

"Child did you mean to hurt the other people besides Kitty?" Ororo asked gently and the girl shakes her head

"Only FOH men" she spat out Ororo nods and looks at Charles then Logan

Charles get Logan to apologise it is the only way to get her to stay. She needs to trust everyone here or she will leave Xavier nods

Logan apologise What ya kidding me Chuck Not at all, you did hurt her for no reason Logan Fine

Logan turns to the girl

"Sorry for stabben ya kid" Logan said the girl snorts

"Yeah lahke tha big wolverine or Logan or whatever, would mean that" she said to herself but they all heard her

"How did you know my name kid" Logan said turning to Charles "Neither was mentioned in the battle Chuck what's going on?"

"Interesting" Xavier said and looked at the girl

"How did you know his name child" Ororo asks

"His memories" the girl spat

"You have his memories?" Ororo asked

"Yeah wot of it?" she said "Its not lahke ah want th' bloody things"

"Child please" Ororo said "Calm down they don't want to hurt you"

"Huh, dey have a funnay way of showen it den" Marie said with venom

"Child they never meant to" Ororo said in a soothing voice

"Yeah rahght, if dey neva meant it den why did dey attack?"

"It was just a misunderstanding Child please" Ororo pleaded

"Fine woteva" Marie answered then thought 'Yeah rahght'

"So you have Logan's memories child" Ororo asked Marie nodded "How?"

"Ah absorb memories, feelings and thoughts" she looked down "Ah think ah take a mutants powahs ta"

"I see, that would explain why we could not get brain wave patterns from Kitty Charles" Hank Said "It appears that our young friend here took them"

"Friend huh" Marie mumbled

"Child I think it would be best if you stayed here for a while" Ororo said in a calm and soft voice

"WOT YA GOTTA BE KIDDEN MEH RAHGHT? DEY ATTACKED MEH" Marie yelled Ororo cringed

"No child I am not kidding you" Ororo said calmly "Just here me out okay?"

"Why should ah den?" Marie asked annoyed

"You will be safe from FOH here" Ororo said softly

Marie looks at Ororo "Reallay Stormy" she asked softly Ororo nods

"But wot if dey attack meh again?" Marie asked Ororo softly

Ororo turn around and looked at the three men in the room "Can you let us have some privacy please?" Ororo asked them, Logan and Hank nod and leave closing the door behind them. Xavier lingers behind for a moment

Ororo are you going to be okay?

Yes, she trusts me Charles and don't worry I will convince her to stay

Okay, be careful Ororo

Xavier nods and wheels out of the room and closes the door behind him
