Logan's eyebrows are raised.

"You're saying I was born in the 1880s, 1890s, as a kid in a rich family, saw my dad murdered, killed his murderer, ran to British Columbia, went wild, fought in both World Wars, and Vietnam, was married to someone just after World War 2, was manipulated and tortured by one man for my whole life and was kidnapped from my car to become Weapon X?"

"That's the general gist of it, yes."

Kurt is hanging from the light fitting, grinning.

"I think she condensed it quite a lot."

"How much?"

"Your Wikipedia page is about 12 sheets of A4. I gave you the paragraph and a half version."

He grunts which I assume means okay.

"You know, I don't have to tell you this. You'll find out soon enough."

"When?"

"Weeelll. Judgingbythestateoftheschool, weareaboutlateeightiesarea. Yougetyourmemoriesin 2005."

"Whoa… Kid, slow down."

I blush and Kurt laughs.

"Logan, you're scaring her."

"What?"

"She obviously knows you…reputation. Of course she's scared."

"No I'm not! He never hurts kids unless mind-control is involved."

Logan's mouth twitches slightly and I get the impression he wants to smile.

"And how would you know that?"

"The fact you refuse to kill a pregnant woman, even when under HYDRA mind control, the fact you end up being a surrogate father to Kitty, Jubilee, Armour and X. Oh, and the fact you can't kill your son, even when he's a complete-"

My hands fly to my mouth.

"Oops."

"Son?"

"Er… He is sixty. And determined to kill you. And…really, really evil."

"A son?"

"Akihiro. More commonly called…er…Daken."

I peer out from half closed eyelids as Logan's jaw twitches. I knew it was a bad idea to tell him his son's nickname, especially with what it means.

"Daken?"

"Yeah…"

"Sixty years old? So the woman I married after the War?"

"Dead. Died before he was born. Killed by the Winter Soldier and had her stomach cut open to get the baby out."

"By me?"

"No. By…Remus' brother."

"What?"

"I really, really don't want to say the name."

"Why not?"

"Er…Sabretooth pretty much said I'd die an incredibly slow and painful death if I told you."

"Sabretooth? He's just an…an idiot."

"Who happens to be a homicidal manic."

"You really are pessimistic aren't you?"

"I'm a realist. Get your facts right."

I felt someone shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes slowly. It was Toad.

"Get up. Magneto wants you," he said.

I nodded drowsily. I forced myself to get up and trudge downstairs. Magneto stood in the middle of the kitchen. His helmet was next to him on the table.

"We've just got word of a facility that are experimenting on mutants," Magneto said. I shivered with excitement. This was the chance I'd been waiting for. To help other mutants.

"We leaving right now. Get dressed."

I was changed before he finished his sentence. Magneto smiled.

"Let's go."

We all ran outside. A metal plane was outside. We all jumped in and sat down. I looked around curiously. The plane didn't have any navigational instruments or any of the usual stuff you saw in a plane. It didn't even have an engine!

Magneto jumped in the seat at the front. He raised his hands slightly and the plane floated off the ground. Now I understood. The plane was powered by Magneto's magnetism.

We flew over the ocean rapidly and after a couple of hours we arrived in Washington DC.

Magneto lowered the plane to the ground. As we stepped out, the plane melted away and the metal squished down into a sphere which Magneto hid under a bush.

People stared at us as we marched through the city. Magneto stopped outside a building and pointed his hand at the doors. They didn't move.

"Wood," Magneto murmured. He looked at me and Blob. We turned to each other and nodded.

We both charged towards the door and it splintered easily under our combined strength.

Immediately two guards opened fire at us. The bullets simply bounced off Blob but they tore into my chest.

Blob quickly stood in front of me.

Magneto came in calmly and knocked the men out with their own guns. I stood up. My shirt was blood soaked but the wound had already healed. We carried on. We encountered surprisingly little resistance. I put it down to the fact that hiring more security would have drawn attention.

Also, I couldn't detect any mutants at all. Because we were going steadily downhill I assumed it meant my power didn't work underground.

After a while we got to another huge set of huge double doors. Again they were wood so me and Blob smashed it down. As soon as we entered the room I knew something was wrong.

There was no sign any life at all. The room was completely empty.

A door made of solid silver sprung up behind us. I heard Magneto curse. I looked at the door.

It would take me ages to get through it and Blob may have been indestructible but he wasn't that strong. Silver wasn't magnetic but Magneto tried anyway.

The Scarlet Witch raised her hands but a dart hit her before she could do anything. I looked up.

There were guns sticking out of every inch of the wall. Magneto tried to destroy them but they were plastic.

Mastermind threw up an illusion but a sniper picked him off. He collapsed with a dart sticking out the back of his neck. Magneto was next. I could have teleported myself and someone else out but I didn't want to abandon my new team. I had already done that. I phased and a dart passed straight through me. Slowly every team member was picked off until it was just me and Blob. A huge metal cage suddenly descended out of the ceiling. It enclosed the Blob so he couldn't move a muscle. I guessed it was probably made out of vibranium or adamantium. I reached out to phase Blob out of it but a dart struck me in the back of the neck. My healing factor tried to fight the sleeping drug but I was fighting a losing battle. The floor suddenly opened up and a squad of men appeared. I saw one standing over me. He raised the butt of his gun and smashed it into the side of my head. Then there was darkness.
