A memory or a nightmare?

[Wolverine]

Logan stood in the stark empty room. it was the only place that wasn't covered in blood. One of the few places that didn't reek of Creed. It was also one of the only places in the school that wasn't damaged. He stood still as a stone in it's center staring at the blank walls.

His mind was washing him with bits and pieces of memories. He desperately tried to fight them down, but somehow he just couldn't get them to stop spinning around mingling with each other. His mind was a jigsaw puzzle of broken pieces and right now he'd kill for a beer.

His gaze passed over the baren walls. He became aware of the blood on his hands. He looked at them spread out in front of him. The blood of children. He still couldn't grasp why he cared. He'd murdered plenty in his life, he was the best there was at what he did and what he did wasn't very nice. As he usually said.

He laughed darkly at himself again lost in another wave of bleak memories as they washed over him like crashing waves. He wondered why he cared, because this was his home. This was his family. As much as he pretended it wasn't and put on the tough guy act sometimes. He cared about the people here. The loss hit him hard, because he realized he really did care about them. He really did feel a sense of belonging here. Dam Xavier for that. He'd rather not feel then have to suffer the loss of these kids.

He stood still in the center of the room just watching the blank walls. His face a mask. His hands in front of him. A blank look on his face. His eyes were open, but they did not see his hands, or the walls. They saw memories new and old. All at once. A chaos.

Alex was frustrated as hell why was the school such and unsafe place she chouldn't list the times the school had been broken into people had died because of it and yet again it happened and she chouldn't do a thing about it. No students had to stay in there rooms and just hope that the big bad people didn't come in and kill them. Alex sighed she was going to be 18 in a few mouths witch ment she could become an xmen. Well she knew with her skill level there was no way in hell that anyone was going to let her be an x-men and her record of how much he had been kidnapped didn't help her case at all.

Alex leaned agaist the wall making little illusions in her own head and using her power on random people to see if the notice something odd. She sat there for hours just watching people in the school walk by she didn't get the kids her own age sometimes they acted like nothing had happened there where a few that where sad but that was when they had a firend or something die. Alex was mostly zoned out that was until she hurd a slightly younger student say that they saw Logan back at the school.

Alex didn't care at first Logan had been coming and going for years the students knew he was the one person you never wanted to get mad and to never touch his bike if you wanted to see the light of day again. It was when an idea came to her head Alex laughed a little at the idea it was perfect. Yes she should go to Hank for this but Logan would maybe understand her a bit more.

She stood up and walk to the room that he was just standing in the center of the room she stood at the door fram for a second before she said anything. “Um...Logan...its good to see you, I'm Alex...um...”

[Wolverine]

Logan stood transfixed in his own thought he never heard the door to the danger room open. His mind was racing and none of it was good. The moment he head his name he turned so quickly that it seemed imposible for someone to move that fast. His claws came out with the all to familiar *shink* noise. He was expecting an attack. His body was tense and he was poised to throw a punch. He was ready and primed to fight.

His body froze in mide move as his eyes focused on the figure in the door and for once he was glad that she had the common sense to stay away from him. To fear him. They should all fear him. He shook his head and slowly withdrew his claws back into their sheaths. A thin stream of blood flowed from his knuckles, but it soon healed. He let his arms drop to his side and surveyed the teenager. He'd juge her to be roughly 17 or 18 years old. She appeared scared. Well they should all be. Or maybe she was just a little confused by all this.

"Hi Alex," he said softly. He didn't want to frighten her any more then he already had. Well not like he was doing a good job of that. Almost attacking her for sneaking up on him like that. He should have been paying attention. Serves him right.

"Shouldn't sneak up on me like that, thought you kids learned that was a bad idea?" He said darkly as he took a half step towards her. Wondering if he should go any closer. He wondered what she wanted, then again. He didn't know where the other teachers were or if there even where any still here. Well guess he'd have to play sitter for a while. So much for his evening of quietness. Who was he kidding. He'd have stood there for an indeterminate amount of time and then finally turned the room and and fought a mock battle. Surely this kid had something more interesting in mind. Or else why come to him. Most just avoided him or tried to stay out of his way. Few made the effort to go meet him or talk to him. Ah well guess his evening could be a little more interesting after all.

Alex jumped when Logan pulled his claws out she didn't mean to sneak up on him or scare him and if she really wanted to she could of made it so he wouldn’t even know she was there and be talking still but he must of not remembered her or what she could do witch she didn't care.

Her eyes didn't leave his claws until he withdrew them and started walking towards her. She looked up at “sorry I didn't mean to sneak up don't you have like super hearing or something it feels like your scenes aren’t the same as other people...im not real good at this but there different right” Alex was scared of him most everyone was and as long as she been at the school there been story’s about him how he worked on missions. So yes most kids whould say she was crazy for going to him for help not when there where a million other teachers around the school that whould be more then willing to help.

“Logan I need your help I know you arnt my mentor but to be honset I don't need help controling my powers I need help fighting with it I'm sick of turning the danger room into my memorys of what new york street looks like or reading a book then wrighing a report on that people are dieing out there the school been broken into so manny times tims in the last little bit its supost to be safe and if I can't protect my own ass I want to be a fucking xmen and they see things that I know im not ready for I never have hurt anyone in my life how am I going to be an xmen”

[Wolverine]

Logan watched her curiously. She was a rather curious girl. He didn't know her. There were of course so many students he hardly could remember one from the other most days. Then again he was surprised when his memory worked at all. Her name had escaped him. However since she had given it. He knew it. He watched her and wondered why she had chosen him.

He frowned at her statement. Sure he had exceptional senses, however the problem was he didn't always stay alert to use them. "And that would be why it's a bad idea to sneak up on me Alex. Yes I have enhanced senses. And like a regular guy I don't always focus!" he said rather harshly to her. His tone wasn't friendly or welcoming further discussion on the topic. However, he never welcomed further discussion on anything. So this wouldn't be new to any of the students. Nor would his growling and overall grumpy attitude.

Well the fighting part he could handle. The rest. He didn't know. What did this kid do anyways. He wasn't an expert on mutation. He couldn't even control his own. He looked at her. She didn't even look like she could fight. Yah she had that right she wasn't ready to be an X-men. She'd need training. Well if fighting is what she wanted to learn she had come to the right place. However, he wasn't certain he'd be a good teacher.

"Kid this isn't a training exercise in power use, or some homework to memories. Were talking fighting here. The real kind where you will get hurt and it's not going to be fun!" he said to her wondering if she really knew what she was asking him to do. He didn't know if she was ready. That's the type of thing that the others would have been good at knowing. Logan knew one thing. If she was serious he could teach her. It wouldn't be pleasant though. Sure he'd try not to hurt her, but one couldn't throw a punch and expect it not to hurt! If she wanted to learn to fight she'd have to realize that bruises come a long way in learning to defend one's self. He watched her sizing her up.

[Alexandra Kavi]

Alex didn't care when he said yet again that it was a bad idea to sneek up on him she almost felt like rolling her eyes but she didn’t she just sat there like a good girl with a smile hoping that he help her she wasn't serous to often but when she was she meet it and didn't back down from her goul.

“You think I don't know its going to hurt” Alex looked hurt at the statement “Logan I have lost my family, my friends, teachers i've seen people die” Alex looked down she may have been small the little girl around school that always smiled but she seen to many people die unlike most kids her age who just see whats on the news she lived it a few times. “Most of them died because they where protecting something the school or me it doen't matter I don't even know how to use my power in a fight unless its to hid my self or someone else.” she looked up at him her eyes a bit teary remebering everyone that she lost in the past Rose, Ian, Tim, Her own brother all of them gone and for all of them she chouldn't do anything about it.

Alex to make it clear made the room look like it was splattered with blood. “I can't sit in my room anymore why the school gets attacked and hope that who ever is attacking doesn't come in or that the xmen have it undercontrol i've never been the type of person who has been able to but if I go out there and fight I know I wont come back or i'll just be useless anyway. I know you don't have a mental power like I do but there gots to be away I can use it”

[Wolverine]

Logan looked at the girl. She was serious he could tell that. It wasn't her words that convinced him. It was the look in her eyes. The sadness and the pain. The loss. He knew those feelings all to well. He nodded slowly.

"Yes, people die. Especially here. I'm not going to lie to you Alex, no matter where your going to go after school your going to be hated and feared and people around you are going to get hurt. That's what it's like to be a mutant. It sucks. I know." Did he ever. It wasn't ever easy for anyone. And no life wasn't fair and if someone dared to say it was they were lyres. There was no where safe for mutants and that was a fact. No use lying to the kid.

"Illusions, that's your gift isn't it?" He asked her looking at the blood ont he otherwise immaculate walls. He knew there was no bood on these walls he'd been staring at them for so long. It had to be an illusion. Well so much for that. His deep gaze returned to her. "Yes there is a way to use your power, Use it to confuse your opponent. Fighten him. Make him falter. Use the unexpected. With your abilities you can sneak up easily on people. use that" He paused another moment. "Yah I'll train you, I can't teach you how to use your power, your on your own for that. I'll teach you to fight. learn to use your power against me. Learn it while your here. If you don't then you'll never win in a fight. Everyone's going to be bigger and deadlier then you. Get used to that. Use it against them."[/b] His eyes were focused on her and he waved her into the room so the door would shut behind her.

[Alexandra Kavi]

Alex was kind of shocked when he said that life was going to suck right after school she didn't have anyone so blunt with her she chouldn't think of a time that anyone had told her that anyone was going to die that she knew or that people where going to hate her because see was a mutant the most she ever had was when her mom whould hold her when she was little and she just say that they didn't understand how amazing she was and it was a gift. Alex smiled at him tough she should of expected bluntness form him thats why she wanted to talk to him and not Hank or anyone else because she wanted to be ready for the real world not the world of fluffy bunnys and rainbows.

She stepped forward when he waved for her the door shuting behind her, part of her now thinking this was a bad idea as the door shut behind her he was right everyone was stronger then her “well...its not really illusions I can control scenes illusions normally everyone only thinks of sight I can make people hear see feel things to...”

She smiled at him when he said that he whould train him “Really you don't have to help me use them I know my limmits and what to do to control them and stuff i've had my powers my hole life, and if I am not bigger and deadlier how am I going to use my size afainst them” she looked at him confused “just means I can get thrown around easyer”

[Wolverine]

Logan looked at her as she entered. He noticed that she appeared slightly taken aback. Maybe even a little scared. 'Fear Girl! FEAR!" he said the last part slowly and loudly to emphasize each letter. He looked at her to make sure she was paying attention. "Yes you'll get thrown around, but make them afraid of you!" he said as he turned in a circle spreading his arms out to the room at large. "make this place my nightmare! and then attack me!

He said as he stood facing her once more. His back was straight. His knees bent. His arms loose at his side. He was ready to tangle. Ready to fight. Ready for her to attack him. he stood waiting patiently for her to do something. he could stand here all day. Although he really didn't want to. And the patience was an illusion. he rely isn't patient at all.

[Alexandra Kavi]

Alex looked at him shocked what was his nightmares she didn't think anything chould scare him it wasn't like her who chould be scared of the dark or loseing everyone it wasn't like she could go in his head and see what he didn't like. Alex took a breath trying to think what would scare wolverine.

She took in a deep breath standing there for awile before the room grew pitch dark and the sound of people sreaming calling for help everywhere it may of not been his nightmare but she had lived it, not something she was prod of but she had been positioned in the mind by an evil person even if it was only a little wile she still remembered the screams she caused when she was in a darker state of mind.

Logan whouldn't of seen her just black and screams of the people Alex closed her eyes she chouldn't do this she didn't want to remember this or have anyone else see it and not someone who was a good person her power reclined for a second the room going normal again before going back to the darkness she didn't move she was scared of her own visions.
