Chapter 3: Walking around the School

Charles, Logan and Abigail were walking through the hallways of the school. Charles was explaining to Logan about the school, his students and what they teach. Abigail was looking around while they talk to each other. Logan was a little interested in the place.

"Anonymity is a mutant's first defense against the world's hostility. To the public, we're merely a school for gifted youngsters. Cyclops, Storm and Jean were some of my first students. I protect them, taught them to control their powers and, in time, teach others to do the same. I have met Abigail before the school even exists. After a lot of problems we had in the past, she decided to stay with me and help me with the school, she becomes a teacher. Here she teaches history, literature and art. She also helps the students to control their powers" Abigail didn't want Charles to tell what happen with him in the past, those were tough moments and she prefers to keep it in secret to everyone else. They were passing one of the classrooms, Storm was teaching History to a younger group, Rogue was with them, next to her was Bobby. "The students are mostly runaways, frightened, alone. Some with gift so extreme they're a danger to themselves and those around them. Like your friend Rogue"

"That bad it is?" Logan asks

"She is incapable of any physical human contact, Logan. Probably for the rest of her life" Said Abigail. "Mutants like her are the most difficult to fit in"

"And yet here she is with others her own age, learning, being accepted, not feared" Said Charles

"What'll happen to her?" Logan asks

"That's up to her" Said Charles "Rejoin the world as an educated young woman, or stay on to teach others. To become an X-Men"

"She can choose her own path. We only help her to control her powers, then it's entirely up to her" Said Abigail.

"The school is merely our public face. The lower levels, however, are an entire different matter" Charles takes Logan to the lower levels and show him the entire basement, including the room where he wake up. "Logan. When i was a boy, i discover i had the power to control people's minds. Make them think or do whatever i wanted. When i was 30, i met a man named Erik Lehnsherr. He, too, had an unusual power. He could create magnetic fields and control metal. Believing that humanity would never accept us, he grew angry and vengeful. He became Magneto. One of the most powerful mutants on earth"

"..." Abigail remains quiet

"There are mutants out there with incredible powers, Logan. And many who do not share my respects for mankind. If no one is equipped to oppose them, humanity's days could be over. I believe that peace can be achieved if we all put our best effort to make it happen" Charles look at Logan in the eyes. "I'll make a deal with you, Logan. Give me 48 hours to find out what Magneto wants with you, and i give you my word that i will use all my power to help you piece together what you've lost, and what you're looking for" Logan think about it for a moment. He still didn't trust Charles at all. Abigail notices the look he was giving to Charles, complete distrust.

"It's up to you of course. If you want to leave, the door is that way" She pointed at the elevator of the basement. Logan thinks about it for a moment and reach a conclusion.

"... Alright. Deal" Logan accepts the deal and Charles smile.

"Good. Now, Abigail will show you the rest of the school and after that we'll start" He said. Abigail looks at Charles and whisper to him.

"Umm, Charles. You ask me to help you with a class and now you are asking me to give him a tour" Abigail didn't want to show him around, something about him didn't like her at all. "I'm a teacher, not a tour courier"

"Everyone else is busy now, Abigail. Sorry, but i need you to show him around if he stay here for a while"

"If he stays for a while?... He won't stay more than two days, Charles. That's a fact"

"It's just for an hour, maybe less. Can you please do it for me?" Abigail sigh and look at the ceiling

"... Don't give my students another day off"

"Jean is taking care of them" He said and leave the basement. She stays alone with Logan

"So, you are older than him?" Logan asks and Abigail look at him strangely

"I could ask you the same thing... if you could remember it"

"What do you mean?"

"Your healing factor. It's faster than mine so i can assume that you lived a lot... Maybe you are a 100 years old" Logan chuckled

"No. I don't think so. What about you?"

"I'm exactly 689 years old" Said Abigail with a smirk

"... Are you serious?"

"You don't have other choice but to believe me. If you ask Charles about it, he won't tell you because he can't look inside my head to see if i'm lying or not. He can't read me" She point at her head. "And let me tell you, he's very good at sneaking in someone's mind"

"You think that he... can help me?" Logan wasn't sure about the deal with Charles. He wasn't nervous, he couldn't completely trust someone that he just met minutes ago.

"You don't know the amount of kids that ask the same question the first day they set foot here" Abigail walk away and Logan follow her. "Don't worry. Charles has never broken a promise, he said that he will help you and he will" Abigail takes Logan to a walk around the school, she shows him the rest of the place. The classrooms, the entrance, the school yard and her favorite place, the Library. Abigail can stay there for hours reading, but she skips it because she needs to take Logan to another place. She was going to show him the dormitory in the evening. While they were walking Logan asks her something.

"Hey, you said before that they call you Death. Why's that?"

"It's not obvious? I used to kill a lot of people. And i mean a lot. If i had a list of all that people's names, it would be almost endless"

"Why?" Logan was a little curious.

"You don't want to know. Trust me" Abigail ends the conversation there and they keep walking.

"Alright... What about the X-Mens? Charles mentions them earlier. What are they?"

"Yes, they are a special group of students and teachers. They are mutants with strong powers, they are trained to fight against other mutants who threat the world and humanity... If you ask me, i keep telling Charles that the whole group is a waste of time. If Charles let me, i could finish them all in a blink of an eye. Even Magneto, but he don't want to kill him. Even after what he did to him, he still forgive him. That's stupid" Abigail was a little angry about it, but try to hide it the best she could.

"Maybe he has his reasons"

"Oh, he has. But there are times where we don't think alike. Still, i prefer to be here and not outside. Being a mutant with my abilities in the outside world, especially in this time and age, is hard" Abigail look at Logan. "Being left alone, not capable of dying, eventually losing friends and family... it's a pain, doesn't it?" She asks. Logan point to his head. "Oh, right, i almost forgot. I'm not used to people with amnesia" Abigail sigh and they keep walking. Logan could sense the tension between them. Jean appear in front of them, Abigail stopped and say hello to her. "Hey, Jean. How was my class?"

"Fine, everything went without a problem. Listen, i'll take Logan to the basement. We are going to run some test on him" Jean explains.

"Sure, do you want me to stab him to test his healing factor?" Abigail smile and laugh. Logan didn't laugh because the way she said it looks like she was serious.

"Not that kind of test, maybe later you can try it yourself" Jean joked. "Anyway, come with me" She grabs Logan's hand and leave with him. Abigail sighs.

"Well... Let's spend some time in the library" Abigail said to herself and went right to the library, grab a book and start to read in silence.

Logan and Jean were alone in the laboratory from the basement. Logan was laying on a table while Jean was preparing him to take a radiograph in the X-ray machine. Logan was looking at Jean, his eyes never left her neck. He remembers when he wakes up that morning, he hurt her and run away. He felt guilty, she wasn't going to hurt him. He took it the wrong way, the last 15 years put him on the edge. Now he has to give them a change to help him.

"I'm sorry" He said. Jean look at him, confused.

"For what?" She asks

"If i hurt you" He point at her neck. Jean didn't say anything, she just smiles and went to the controls of the x-ray machine. "... What's the deal with her?"

"Who?"

"Abigail, she doesn't look like she's happy to be here"

"She's happy, but when no one is watching her, she gets into a fight with either Scott or the Profesor... Or other students who don't do their homework" Jean whispers the last part. "Scott usually picks a fight with her, because they don't get along, and she picks a fight with the Professor because of ideological issues. Despite all that, she doesn't hate them. You'll get used to it, when you get to know her she's quite friendly"

"With someone who's nickname is Death... I don't think so"

"I use to say the same thing... Watch your head"

"What?" He asks. Jean presses a button and the table move him to inside the X-ray machine. The lights inside the machine hit his face and leave him temporarily blind. Jean looks at the computer and saw something unexpected. After that she takes him out of the machine and told him to wait outside, Jean calls the Professor and the others to discuss Logan's condition. In a couple of minutes, Charles, Scott, Ororo and Abigail were in the room with Jean. She shows them the radiograph, all his body was covered by metal. Abigail looks closer to his hands, there were claws inside of his hands.

"The metal is an alloy called Adamantium" Said Jean. Abigail was still looking at the claws, they looked artificial, but another closer look showed her that they weren't. Those are part of him, they use to be bones too. "The metal is supposedly indestructible. It's been surgically grafted to his entire skeleton"

"How could he have survived a procedure like that?" Ororo asks.

"His mutation. He has an uncharted regenerative capability, which enables him to heal rapidly" Jean explains.

"It's faster than mine. Still, that kind of procedure... Who would go that far? And for what reason?" Abigail asks

"Who did this to him?" Scott asks

"He doesn't remember" Said Jean. "Nor does he remember anything about his life before it happened"

"Could that be the reason why he lost his memory?" Abigail asks. Jean didn't answer right away.

"It could be... Maybe it was too traumatic for him and subconsciously he's repressing any memory"

"Experimentation on mutants. It's not unheard of" Said Charles and look closer to the skull. "But i've never seen anything like this before"

"What do you think Magneto wants with him?" Scott asks.

"From what i know, nothing" Said Abigail. "Magneto could easily crush him. I don't think that Magneto is after Logan"

"You are right... But still, we have to make sure. Maybe he is after Logan... Or maybe Rogue" Said Charles. All of them were confused, there was no right answer. Logan and Rogue aren't mutants with destructive powers or abilities that Magneto could be interested in. "Abigail, keep an eye on Logan. Ororo, you keep an eye on Rogue" They nodded and end the meeting.
