❝ Logan stood at the end of the table, folding his arms over his chest with a sigh. It was hard not to roll his eyes. Though, he did find himself fighting that urge so many times in a day that he couldn’t possibly count. At this point, that reaction was simply an instinct of habit, but he still believed it was called for in most situations.
He eyed Cassandra while the others exchanged names. With Magneto’s sudden interest and Logan’s strong hunch, he thought it best to keep watch—to keep track of details and mannerisms to further prove, or disprove, his theory. Although, right now, she was simply and very clearly depressed. She had been since he first met her. It was a day that would stay with him, he knew, for good as well as bad reasons.
One of the starkly good reasons being their abrupt introduction. He was shaken and, admittedly, fearful of his circumstance—then she teleported in, simply on her way to suit up for a danger room session, and her blue doe eyes found him frantic in the silver hallways. Now, he noticed her eyes were dull, unfocused and borderline lifeless as she gazed down at her brother.
The version of her he knew—the fearless, broken girl he fought so hard to save all those years ago, the girl who saved him—was gone. It was an unsettling realization, but he kept it to himself as he watched her, one ear with her and the other on the conversation taking place beside them both. ❞
