Training Session
When I woke up, the clock said 2:46. I sat up, I remembered that I was going to the training session. I left the room and went to the staircase. I heard Xavier talking to…Storm! I had to make things right. I ran down the stairs so fast I didn't even notice that Rogue and Logan were standing there. I looked her in the eyes, and realized wait that's not her. It was her but it wasn't her. I looked at Xavier, and asked, "Um…whose this?" Xavier gave me and Storm, a puzzled look. "This is Storm, Laura, don't you remember?" I looked over at Logan who stopped talking to Rogue, and was coming towards me. "This is not Storm, can't you see it?" Logan grabbed my arm, and gently pulled me into the kitchen. "What are you doing, aren't you going to apologize, I mean that's what you should be doing!" He said kind of annoyed. "That's what I was going to do, but when I looked into her eyes I saw something else. I'm telling you that that's not Storm in there. Is there a mutant that can like change into other people?" I asked, I figured that there might be a student that can, and is playing a prank on Xavier. "Mystique, shit!"
He walked out of the room, he extended his claws, and so I did the same. "Professor I need a word," He said, his heart was racing, I could hear it. "Logan, theirs nothing that you can tell me that Storm can't hear." He stated. All this time I never took my eyes off Storm, she was nervous, and she had beads of sweat on her forehead. Logan pushed Xaviers wheelchair, and he went wheeling into the other room. Xavier yelled, "Logan! Logan this is highly unnecessary!" Storm then turned into the form of a naked blue woman, with spikes, and yellow eyes. She pushed Rogue to the ground, who was too shocked to move. She went for the door, but I got in front of her. "Where exactly do you think your going!" I asked, I was excited yet scared at the same time. Logan came to stand next to me. "Oh look a family reunion!" She laughed. This made me angry, I felt a rage coming on. I lunged towards her, she jumped but I was faster. I stabbed her in the leg, and I saw blood spinning everywhere. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed. I fell to the floor, everything was spinning. I felt someone punch me in the back of my head. I turned around and shoved my feets claws into…Logan. I came out of my rage, long enough to apologize to him, and help him up. Suddenly I fell to the ground and was staring into those yellow eyes. I looked down and saw her changing. I heard her scream, I opened my eyes and saw Logan's claws plunged through her stomach. My mom's stomach. I felt myself spinning, I saw her yellow eyes. Once again, into the darkness I fell. I heard myself screaming, "Zander…Zander! Nooooo! Please…please Zander!"
I opened my eyes. I remembered what had happened, and sat up. I was back in my room, the clock said 2:30 AM. I bolted upright. Maybe it was a dream, maybe it never happened. It was so real. I heard breathing, I turned around to see Rogue sleeping in another bed beside me. I was so confused. Why wasn't I by myself, why was I with…her? I got up, I was covered in blood. It was real…everything. I shook her awake.
"Rogue…Rogue please wake up," I said quietly. "Rogue…" "What…what do ya want?" She moaned. "Where's Logan?" I asked frantically. "Why do ya need to know?" She sat up, and looked at me with her mysterious grey eyes. "I need to talk to him." I said, I could smell her sadness, and I wondered why she would be sad. "Y'all talk to him in the morning'!" She said angered. I got up, got the sweat shirt Kitty left, but I never put on. "If you wont tell me I'll find him myself!" I said, loud enough for her half asleep self to hear me. "Ya have fun with that." She mumbled, as she lied back down and went back to sleep. I walked out of the room, and closed the door behind me. I went down the hall, and down the stairs. I sniffed for him. I smelt him. And I followed the scent down the hallway, to a door. The door said, Dr. Charles Xavier. The scent got stronger as I neared the door. I slowly and silently reached for the door knob, I turned it. The door swung open. The lights were off, and I could hear thumping coming from the closet. I slowly walked over towards the closet, when I heard someone coming up from behind me. "Hey, kid, what are you doing up?" I turned around to see Logan standing there. He was still covered in blood, he obviously hadn't showered yet either. I wonder what happened to that 'Mystique' woman. "Couldn't sleep either?" I asked him. "No, I'm still kind of shaken up from earlier." He replied. "It beats me how, she was even able to fool the professor." Something seemed really weird about him. I figured he would be asleep. What was he doing in Xavier's office. I then remembered the thumping noise that I heard coming from the closet just moments before. I turned and started for the closet. Bang! I was hit in the head, I turned around and extended my claws. Slash! Slash! I saw Logan fall to the floor, but he didn't heal up. Wait! Logan suddenly turned into Mystique. Then the thumping started from the closet, louder and more intense. I walked towards the door and opened it up. Out fell…"Logan!" I yelped. He was tied up and gagged, he fell out of the closet. I took the gag out of his mouth, and cut open the ties. Just as soon as he stood up, I heard a weird warping sound. Then…crash! The window was smashed open, and in came a thin piece of metal. "Magneto, get your ass in here and fight like a man!" Shouted Logan. Then two pieces of sharp cut metal flew towards us. We ducked, then a metal pole went plunging into his neck. He grabbed the end of it and pulled it out. As Logan healed up, I ducked at another one of those flying pieces of sharp metal. I was skinned with one on my shoulder. I winced as I healed up. Logan walked towards Mystique who was lying on the floor, blood flooding her mouth. She was lying on top of the thin piece of metal that sent the window into shattered little pieces. I saw in the reflection of a fallen mirror on the floor, a man floating in the air, he had a huge metal helmet on. That was Magneto. Then he and Mystique floated away, he carried her in his arms, the piece of metal floating beneath them.
Logan turned to me. "You okay kid?" He was a little shaken up, but I could sense his anger. "Yeah, what the hell was that all about!" I asked, with a little confusion in my voice. "I don't know, but nothing good." He said now walking out of the room, I followed him close behind. He sniffed the air. "Where's Xavier?" I asked. "That's what we need to find out." he said. I followed him into the kitchen, where Xavier's wheelchair was tipped over. There sprawled out on the floor was Xavier, unconscious, with a cup in his hand. "She must have drugged him!" Logan yelled. I helped him put Xavier back into his chair. He slowly came to. "X, get him a glass of water." I got a cup, and filled it up with cold water. He drank it, and asked what happened. Logan explained everything, I just sat and listened. He called me X, what does that mean. Nothing, it just means that he doesn't feel like saying my designation as X-23, or that he doesn't know that my real name was Laura. As we helped Xavier get into bed, I kept looking back at Logan. We walked back to my room together. Neither of us said a word. "Night kid, good work." He said. "Night, we made a pretty good team." I smiled. He smiled back. "Congratulations, you've just passed your first training session."
