A/N:
WARNING: THIS IS THE SECOND UPDATE OF THE DAY! IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, BACK IT UP ONE CHAPTER! Thank you!
... Wow this story is short...
I don't own X-Men TT-TT
"The metal is an alloy called-"
"Adamantium," I called out, interrupting Jean's analysis on Logan. She narrowed her eyes slightly but I continued. "It's been surgically grafted onto his entire skeletal system, just as it was to mine." I extended my claws.
"Ororo, Scott, I don't know if you've read my file, but I've had Logan's DNA grafted onto my own as another experiment. Of course, I more or less volunteered, but-"
"You voluntarily let someone experiment on you?" Ororo asked, outraged. I smiled, shrugging.
"It was that or let Logan get himself killed or worse. I told you, he's like my older brother. Back on Stryker's team, we relied on each other to watch our backs.
"Anyway," I continued, "the experimentation done on me both gave me Logan's mutation as well as the adamantium skeletal structure. His mutation, including his healing ability. That's why I don't seem to age. In actuality, Logan is much older than all of us. I'm pretty sure he said that he was born in 1832."
Seemingly unfazed by Logan's age, Charles guided his wheelchair closer to the scan.
"Experimentation on mutants… It's not unheard of, but I've only seen this on-"
"Me," I finished. "I went through exactly what Logan did. As you know, Professor, he did this to avenge Kayla."
"But she didn't die until-
"Okay, long story short, Logan thought Vic/Sabretooth/his brother killed Kayla. Logan went on an angry rampage and I caught up with him. We then got sucked back into Major Stryker's whole evil plot where Logan and I were experimented on. Stryker wanted to erase his memories, Logan freaked out, killed a bunch of people, and broke out of there. I followed and we were soon attacked by Zero, one of the people of Stryker's team. Then- Wow, I never realized how long this was," I mused. Jean cleared her throat.
"Okay, then. Short long story short: We all played into Stryker's hands and got totally screwed. John died, Dukes died, Bradley died, Kayla got shot and died, Logan got shot twice in the head and lost his memories, and I let that meddling prat experiment on me. Good news: Zero died, Stryker got busted for killing General What's-His-Name, and Three Mile Island got destroyed. Which, as we all know, is how quite a few of our current students and staff made their way here," I said, smiling at Scott.
He grinned back, his smile faltering when Jean cleared her throat.
"But what does Magneto want with him?"
"That's just it," I said quietly to the redhead. "It's not him Magneto wants. I got a glimpse into Victor's mind. Magneto needs Rogue for something. I don't know what, but it's her that he wants."
"Are you quite sure?" Charles asked. I nodded.
"Positive. Trust me, he didn't intend to give this away, either. He's given himself up to his inner feral, something I've actually been avoiding."
"What do you think would happen to you? If you let it win?" Ororo asked calmly. I shrugged.
"Before the experiment, I probably would have been overprotective and defensive. Now that I have Logan's mutation jumbled up with mine… I have no idea. Both ferals, the raven and the wolverine, are trying to get control over the other. If my need to get away every few months is any clue, the wolverine is winning."
"Is there anyway to help?" Ororo asked quietly, laying a hand on my shoulder. I felt some of my tension smooth away. I smiled.
"Thank you… The two are at a stalemate right now. Something big needs to happen before the winner is decided. And once that happens, I'll just have to rely on the one mutation to keep the other in line while I master the more overt personality…."
"We are getting off topic," Charles said gently. I nodded quietly.
"Okay," I smiled, closing the last clothes drawer in Marie's new room. "You'll be sharing the room with a couple of other girls, but they'll respect your distance if you're worried about their safety. The bathrooms are down the hall, third door on the left. The other girls have an unspoken shower schedule and such, so I'd ask your roommates about that."
I leaned against the windowsill as Marie circled the room, getting her bearings. When she finished, sitting down on her bed, I withdrew a piece of paper from my pocket.
"Here is your class schedule. The other teachers have been briefed on your mutation, so don't worry about us accidentally forcing you into a dangerous position. If you get lost, one of the other students will help you get to class. Don't worry about being late for the first few days. It's okay to feel overwhelmed at first, but you'll find your own space in the mansion. I'll have Jubilee or Kitty show you the school."
I smiled, staring out of the window. Scott was teaching a class on mechanics, using my older bike.
"I've been here for nineteen years. The biggest things you have to worry about around here are the normal teenage melodrama. I can tell your still worried, but you don't need to be afraid anymore. I've heard that I seem a bit… unapproachable, but I won't let anyone get hurt. The older students can testify to it; I'd lay my life on the line if it meant keeping this school protected," I promised. Marie looked a little shaken and I stood, still smiling. Careful to avoid skin contact, I hugged the newest member to the student body. I pulled away and she looked shocked.
"I'm here if you need me," I smiled.
