After only a few hours of sleep, Alex felt re-energized and was warming up in the gym. It might have been the adrenalin from the early morning fighting, but it was most definitely due to the fact that she had kissed Warren earlier.

The gym was a large, bright room. It was different from the training room, used to teach the children how to use their powers. This room of course look very different from the hidden rooms; this of course was a showroom used when the parents came to inspect the school their children were or would be attending.

She was brushing up on her ballet and gymnastics, for she had had little time to practice before and she didn't have class until after lunch. She wore training bottom and a plain white t-shirt that came down to the middle of her stomach. Her long hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, but a few shorter strands of hair had already fallen out. On her feet were a pair of tiny pair of slippers.

With her warm up finished she make her way to the middle of the floor and began to do a few back flips, landing gently on the tips of her feet. Once she was sure she hadn't lost her touch, she switched to do a few ballet routines. When she had finished her third she heard someone clapping her from the changing room door. She stopped abruptly and turned quickly to meet Logan, who was leaning against the wall.

"Well I guess there's no need to ask how you were able to move, and fight like that last night. Not after that little display," Logan replied moving of the wall and walking up to her.

"And, how long have you been standing there. Hopefully long enough to know not to cross me," she replied with a smirk. There was something about him she didn't like he was cocky and constantly in her face.

"Is that a threat, lets see how you handle real danger, then sweetheart," he snapped, as his claws moved out of his hands proving he wasn't joking. He didn't know what it was about her that made him so angry. It was probably the fact that everybody liked her and wanted to either, be her or be with her. Everybody just seemed to have forgotten what happen and who they lost.

When Alex realised he was for real she backed up a bit and turned to find something to fight back with. As she looked around she spotted a set of old Egyptian knives. She walked over to where they were mounted on the wall. They were light and the blade coming out of the handle was long and thin. There were three blades coming out of the base, and once she had set two of her fingers in between the gapes, she turned and walked back to Logan.

"You look a little nervous, not know how to use your little knives," he asked in mock concern.

"No, actually I was just thinking how unlucky you are. You see I was an award winning sword fighter when I was at school here and this were my favourite," as she said this she tilted her head towards the knives in her hands. She didn't want to fight him but she had to defend herself if he came at her.

By this time a small crowd had started to gather up in the gallery above the gym. It was full of the children who were always up early and they had seen Logan wandering in to the gym, which was usually empty. They were however amazed to see Alex there and dancing, in a very impressive manner. They just watched in silence as the two talked, but began talking when they saw Logan's claws come out. They then shocked to see Alex grab knives off the wall. They decided it was getting too dangerous as he started fighting, swinging blades in her direction.

A few of the sensible students ran up the stairs to wake up Storm and some of the older students how would be able to break it up. The rest just stared and gasped at how Logan was really laying into her. She was clearly holding back but no one knew why. Logan noticed this as well; she wasn't attacking him simply dodging his swings.

"What are waiting on? Are you to scared you might not be able actually hit me?" he laughed in her direction. By this time the alarm had be raised and Storm and Warren were down in a matter of seconds.

Storm had rushed down for two reasons. The first was that Logan could be really dangerous at times and she worried for Alex's safety. The second was that she feared Alex would lose control like she had a few years back and do something she no longer had control over.

Warren had jumped down the stairs two at a time when he had been told. He had only met Logan a few times but he knew of his reputation as a bully and his foul temper. He had this whole protective nature now, it had started when he first met Alex, and all he wanted to do was protect her and keep her safe.

Logan had not noticed everybody come in; he was too focused on Alex. She didn't look nervous but he could sense it. Alex had felt people staring at her but she didn't look in their direction.

"Come on, show me what you're really made of. Don't hold back, you won't hurt me!" he shouted.

"I CAN'T BECAUSE I MIGHT!" she screamed back, "I have to hold back or I might not be able to stay in control… I could kill you if I really wanted to but I wont let it happen. I will not put everybody in this school in danger… not again." When she finished she had tears in her eyes, but refused to let them fall. At that Warren had seen enough, he walked up to Logan and was about to hit him when Alex grabbed his arm and shock her head.

"So, Little Miss Perfect has a big bad secret. Well there's a surprise," he said in a sarcastic tone with a smile on her face, "So how many people you killed then, couldn't be that many."

At that moment Storm stepped in saying, "Logan that enough, how dare you-," but Alex had interrupted her. "Enough to last me a life time. There is too much blood on my hands already, without adding to it," she finished in a whisper and with that turned on her heel.

As she was walking out she threw her swords towards the wall, were they dug into the wall. Warren was about to run after her when he heard Storm, "Let her go, she will be ok… she certainly has grown up these last few years." Storm was so angry with Logan she practically dragged him into her office where she continued to yell at him.

Warren just stood there as all the children around him disappeared. He needed to talk to her, she seemed so frail when he saw her fighting Logan. Her past was clearly not a happy one but he wanted to know about, to know her, the real her. He decided he would go and look for her, and get her to tell him the whole story. He realised in that moment that he was truly falling in love with her. She was his to protect and he would do it without question.
