a weapon trying to be a real girl

I'm not real. Not yet. I was born inside a cage. Raised inside a cage. I do not know how to live another way. But I will learn.

She had been knocked out. One strong blow to the head and Laura lost a few minutes swimming in the blackness of unconsciousness.  It could of only have been a minute or so due to her healing factor, but once she awoke everyone she was alone. Jubilee, she had been following Jubilee after she fled from where the Bucky and the Captain were fighting, but then nothing. Whoever knocked her out must have dragged her behind the dumpster she found herself at. But, she was alone. Laura did not have time to think about it, but it still stung to imagine her allies so quickly leaving her forgotten. 

Instead, she tried to dull the pain, by losing herself in the battle around her. Allowing the physical pain of being ripped and hit and slammed to hide the ache she felt inside. The battle was long and lonely. Laura spent most of it throwing herself in front of innocents like a shield to protect them from oncoming attacks. By the time the sun began to lower in the sky and threat slowly disappeared, Laura’s clothes were in tatters. Her eyelids hung heavy as she quietly started the walk back to Winchester.

Sam thought it might have worked. There was a moment of pause that allowed a moment to think that the soldiers believed them - he was wrong. “Shit,” he muttered and quickly folded his wings around him to provide shielding. Civilians were dropping around him and as an Avenger, he was not at all happy with that. Still crouching behind his wings, he went up to one and pulled her behind his wing shield. “Stay close,” he told her as he moved on to a few more and helped get them into the tree line for cover.

With the major threat out of the way, the Skrull began hearing the kids away from the dangerous people. She attempted to shuffle them down the street, turning her back to the girl. However, a large bite to her neck forced her to stop and scream out. Reaching with her large hands to grabble this pest, the Skrull said in a taunting voice, “Of course not you imbecile. But, no worries soon you’ll be gone too.” The Skrull looked down at the small girl beside her and with just a nod, the child began to slowly morph until it perfectly resembled Jubilee. The mirror image, once content with her look, rushed off into the city.

The order came from Fury. He jumped out of his black van with Natasha by his side and gave a piece of his thought to the one in charge.  “ARE YOU MOTHERFUCKING KIDDING ME !? Do I look like a green fucking alien to you ? Stop shooting at our people and get your ass to actually be helpful. ”  He snapped his fingers. 

He marched to Cindy and Sam.  “ You better get your asses out of here, to the hellicarrier.  “ he stated. 

Natasha on her part saw two skrulls drag Josh towards an ally and followed. She did not hesitate to shoot them down and take the boy’s vitals. He was dead. However, a more pressant sight caught her eye.  Steve was attacking Bucky,  further away two mutants were at each other.

Her heart won.  She ran up to both of her boys, to protect her lover. 

She used an element of surprise and stabbed Skreve in the back before using him to push herself up to sit on his shoulders and continued her stabbing in the throat /chest region with another knife.. She had it coming, but at least she got him off Bucky. 

note :  Skreve is deadly wounded but still can do damage , Bucky you have  Nat’s support. 

note : Sam and Cindy, you are to evacuate the perimeter at Nick’s orders.  You can do so this round or the next round as the next round is the last one.

note :  Jubes manages to escape the scene. You are to follow that decision. Laura you can either stay or join your allies to finish taking over NY.

note : Josh …. weeelll at least you weren’t robbed?  You are to post last in this round to tell what happens to your body.

The fact that they would not win this one was making more sense to Bucky as the seconds happened. But that doubt in the back of his mind for quite some time now… Well maybe that small part of him was right. Yet he had hope. But he had given it to the wrong person. Barnes chocked at that hand on his neck, those claws. There was only one person behind him, and that voice… James was left on the ground, coughing, facing what should have been his best friend becoming just an ugly green piece of shit. Good job, Barnes, really. You just gave the shield to your enemy. However, as difficult that sight was, he didn’t let his emotions take over him. He had had a training for that. He simply got defensive at he tried to think about that, trying to push away that single question of where the fuck was Steve? “Yeah? Well, at least she could avenge me.” He quickly stood on both his feet at he watched Natasha jump on Skreve to get rid of him. “Nat! Careful of his arms!” Bucky also took the knife in his boot, since his gun was away and the shield not available and ran to help her lover, sliding between Skreve’s legs to cut the flesh behind his knees, his bionic arm helping him to keep his balance

@steebrangers·

Skreve was not as successful as he wanted to be : a wild Black Widow jumped on him and stabbed him, even if he wasn’t totally out of the fight. Skreve turned to face Natasha, shield up to prevent Bucky for coming at him, and threw his claws at the lady. 

“But who’s gonna avenge her?”

Smiling, Skreve launched himself onto Nat, clawing at everything he could land his green hand on. Now that his allegiance card was revealed, he has nothing to lose. 

Jubes saw herself run off and frowned heavily. She was overwhelmed, and actually glancing over, she saw that this was making no sense anymore. She chose to retreat, maybe she was a coward, but she couldn’t stay here. She used the fact that Laura did not have her in her grip to run away, vampire speed , somewhere out of the fight. She ran and ran and ran and only stopped when she was out of Manhattan. She collapsed under a bridge near the river. She didn’t feel safe, she didn’t feel good, she was in fact scared. Scared for herself but also scared to get back to her son and lead them right to him. She wasn’t sure who to trust, what to do. She felt alone again, Triggered. She needed her family, but she wasn’t even sure Rogue , Logan , the others were sitll alive.  “Breathe, breathe …safe house….you gotta go to the safe house and hope for the best. “  and so she did. Tears still running down her cheeks. 

@weaponx-23​

The Skrull decided to remain in her true form as she watched the vampire escape with great speed. Staying like this was far nicer than pretending to be that girl with claws. Laura was deadly and keeping her cover wasn’t worth killing one of her own over. Besides, the Skrulls were here. There was no need to hide anymore. Running off, the Skrull went back into the fray looking to protect whoever of her own needed help.

Despite your best efforts, you did not convince the National Guards. It seemed so at first, as the leader of the unit hesitated, but it only lasted a second.  “Shoot at sight” he yelled at his crew who opened fire on the gathered crowd. Heroes now perceived as a too great of a threat to not be considered hostile. 

note : a rain of bullets broke loose, hitting heroes and civilians alike. This affects Cindy, Josh and Sam. The choice is yours to be hit, dodge the bullets or shield civilians. You gain boldness point for trying to stop the guard, but it is really of no use in this setting.

Jubes and Laura made the choice to help Bucky and Steve, yet shockingly Laura has revealed herself as being a skrull. A fight breaks out between both “mutants”  Jubilee has been hurt :

As for Bucky and Steve, while they couldn’t attack the kids, those angelic faces have no problem attacking you and are blocking your way to help your injured ally. if provoked they will reply with violence. 

Meanwhile, the sky filled itself with more vessels. New York was slowly but surely falling to the ongoing number of invaders who were swarming the city. Much like London, New York was on the verge of falling into enemy hands.

Josh had never imagined it would come to this; they were destroying each other, and innocent people along with them. They didn’t ask for this, they were just unlucky, in the wrong place at the wrong time with no one to help them- 

Just like he’d been.

He didn’t think, Josh saw a woman limping, desperately trying to move among the rain of bullets. He sprinted up to her, put and arm around the woman and dragged her to the side, “Run! Run now and don’t stop!” No time to heal them.

“My daughter!” she screamed, desperate to push past him back into danger. Josh spun and saw a little girl, no more than four, cowering behind some broken metal amongst the fire. He ran back, dodging feverishly, on instinct alone and scooped the girl up as his left arm exploded in pain and something hot and warm ran down his skin; he didn’t think about it, just kept runn- he stumbled, had he been shoved? Don’t think about it! Run! He reached the side and smiled at the little girl who still looked up at him in horror. “You’re alright now,” he passed her over to her mother who was looking at him in equal shock, “Wha-” he coughed, blood coming up his throat, not understanding he looked down, there was a hole in his chest… a hole dripping blood- 

He collapsed to his knees and fell forward, onto his back, looking up… he couldn’t move anymore… when did it get cold… why was he- 

The girl was grabbing his arm, the mother crying over him, “H-ey,” he looked at the girl, “Y-you okay?” The girl cried but nodded, “G-good. I… got tha- right…”

He finally got something right.

With that thought his eyes glassed over and Joshua Foley stared unseeingly up at the sky filled with alien ships.

Bucky tried to see beyond the alien kids and what he saw was only getting worse. The golden one just got stabbed. Laura had turned to be… one of them? He turned his head to Steve for a sec. “Jeez, you look terrible. Take this please.” He spoke, giving him the shield. The kids were not helping there either. “Okay Steve. Those are bad kids, okay? They’re aliens… not kids… they perfectly know what they’re doing.” he tried to convince them that it would be okay to punch them. The noise made by the spaceships made him look up. “And we’re screwed, so we got to fight here, get the spidey girl and if we can the kids and get outta here. We’re not in in our advantage right here.” He told him, putting at least his gun back to his belt and went to try go throught the kids, defending himself as they wanted to hurt him, mostly pushing them away.

He took the shield Bucky was offering him, but then hesitated. A split second. The time was right. It was now or never. The shield in his left hand was rising slowly. 

“Thank you for that.”

Steve’s smile widened as the kids were coming closer to Bucky and him. He slowly stepped aside, his right hand trembling and shifting like the reality was glitching. All those ships in the sky was a big virus to the Earthers, and a virus which was going to win. They could fight, they could resist, in the end, it won’t even matter. The hand changed into a big green paw with sharp claws he directed at Bucky’s neck, stabbing him from behind. 

“He loved you, you know ? And you’ll die by his hand. Well, mostly.”

Skreve attacked then with his full force, determined to add another corpse to the battlefield.

Sam thought it might have worked. There was a moment of pause that allowed a moment to think that the soldiers believed them - he was wrong. “Shit,” he muttered and quickly folded his wings around him to provide shielding. Civilians were dropping around him and as an Avenger, he was not at all happy with that. Still crouching behind his wings, he went up to one and pulled her behind his wing shield. “Stay close,” he told her as he moved on to a few more and helped get them into the tree line for cover.

Jubes to the hit full force, not quite comprehending what was happening.  She hit the next thing, which was the wall, from the force of the punch and stayed against it while holding her stomach. She had felt a rib crack for sure and probably something she did not need anymore pop. “What the fuck …” she yelled. She did not really wait for any  explanation and launched back at her, what was attacking her was not friendly , so she had no reason to hesitate. She went straight for a bite , feeling the bitter taste again.  “You’re not her ! “ she came to the realization and just set herself to tear her to pieces if she could.

While skrulls weren’t maybe the smartest, they were quite cunning. They had months to study and anticipate everyone’s flaws. As word spread that Avengers were there.  The Skrulls organised. They let those soldiers be slaughtered for others would come, with more friendly faces. A school bus stopped after running high speed. Out got kids who gathered around  Steve and Bucky. They looked up with their big eyes and gentle innocent faces.  “We do not mean you harm, only to make this world a better place …no war, no sorrow, no pain. No family set apart because of hatred , malice , revenge.  A world at peace .” they all said , either together or one after the other.  They had both Captains cut of from the rest by having surrounded them. 

note: the choice is yours, do you attack these skrull children , or reason with them ?

In the middle of the square, the civilians were seeking refuge in the subways, out of the street. No one really injured badly, as the Skrulls needed their hosts alive and functioning.  As the national guard still were in the city, their vehicles made their ways towards Sam, Cindy and Josh.  “FREEZE; DO NOT MOVE, DROP YOUR WEAPONS”  ah friendly fire, that was problematic, but understandable, because some heroic faces were in fact turning against their own. 

note: the choice is yours, do you attack your own and prove them right, try to reason or flee

The odds are looking bad. For as many killed, others arrive, it is a losing battle even though you have just liberated a group of civilians. Jubilee and Laura are out of sight of both imminent threats.

note: the choice is yours, help Bucky and Steve, help Cindy, Josh and Sam  or retreat to the manor while you still can.

Oh yes, it was definetly nice to see Steve in action, most of all to fight by his side. It seemed to Bucky that they didn’t fight together on the battlefield for ages – which was somewhat accurate. But only a fool would believe that an ennemy that powerful would just throw soldiers without having a proper strategy elaborated first. As James was punching the last alien to the ground, he looked at the bus driving towards them. “What is that again.” He groaned. As the kids gathered around them, putting them away from the others for now, Barnes went back to back with Steve, not knowing what to do about that. What happened to these kids? Were they themselves? Control-minded? “Yeah? Are you sure about that? ‘Cause you just brought war to us. You’re forcing our people to a way of life they don’t want, is that it? That’s not peace, that is just gonna bring what you search to avoid. We can help eachother here. Maybe you have a leader who can talk to us.”

Steve was unconsciously searching for a shield to wield and trying to avoid being forced to use a trashcan cover. The alien army was surrounding them, but the real surprise was when a bus full of children stopped. As they got off, Steve gasped, not used to have to punch such juveniles faces. Bucky did a good part of the talking (which was not his forte), but that didn’t mean Steve didn’t have anything to say. Lowering his hands and voice, he just tried to be as friendly and understandable as possible.

“Maybe we can make peace, but not like that. We can’t just speak to you while the other want us dead.”

Or perhaps it was that kind of peace they refered to ?

“As you wish, kid,” he called over the air as he swooped down and dropped Josh in the center of the group. He landed nearby and pointed towards the subways. “Come on people, move!” he yelled, directing people off the streets and to safety….until they were surrounded by the National Guard. “What the hell, man!” he yelled, raising his arms up at the soldiers pointed their guns at them. “We’re Avengers! Humans! Stop pointing your weapons at us!” Yeah, because that was gonna convince them… 

Josh couldn’t feel his fingers he was holding on so tight, as the ground got closer he couldn’t help but yell as he was unceremoniously dropped and inelegantly rolled a few times before getting unsteadily to his feet. The entrance did it though, with the others serving to distract Josh practically begged the frightened people to move, at least seeing he was gold and not green helped a little. “Please, you have to move now, you’re in danger here! Find somewhere safe, off the streets,” he saw Sam and carried on his idea, “The subways!”

One girl had been trampled slightly in the rush and was clutching a broken leg; he bent to help her, hands glowing a soft gold as the national guard arrived. He didn’t raise his hands because he needed to help the girl, “Please!” he yelled, “We’re trying to help these people!” The girl’s leg was fixed and she got up and ran, “There’s a war going on! Can’t you protect people instead of looking for a fight!?”  

@silkmxxn​

Cindy was ready to take on the next fight when she heard the sounds of cars rolling up behind them. Before they could even say anything the national guard was shouting orders at them. “Whoa! Whoa!” Cindy said holding up her hands to them. “We’re trying to help here. We’ve got someone healing people. There are a lot of people injured out here and he might be one of the few people to help them.” she said, speaking calmly and slowly. Not wanting to spook them. “Please, just let us help these people.”

Jubes cautiously approached. She looked at Laura, then back at the people exposed. “We can’t help them now ….” she whispered and pointed towards the two Captains.  “Let’s help the American Symbols. “  she suggested and went ther after having Laura’s ok. She did not really bother talking to the “kids. “  She wasn’t going to attack them either. BUT they were kids, and she was a vampire with a lot of muscle strength.  So what she did was simply to grab two by the waist and just transport them further away.  “ Tchu Tchu. “

@weaponx-23​

Laura stayed by Jubilee’s side everything went to hell. The National Guard scared her the most and apparently, Jubes felt the same way. Laura followed the vampire back to the super soldiers and horror painted her face as she saw the girl tossing the children without a care. The horror transformed into anger as her body morphed and grew revealing a Skull in the place Laura previously stood. “Don’t touch them!” The Skull shouted as she lunged to punch Jubilee with all her strength.

 Laura was already coated in blood, her clothes turned into tatters as she threw her body in front of civilians to keep them out of harm’s way. Jubilee stayed nearby, helping keep people safe and fight off the invaders as best they could. The sounds of screams directed them through the city, trying to go where it seemed the most help was needed. A specific shout from a known voice caused Laura to move to an adjacent alleyway. A large alien took up the entrance, with it’s backed turned allowing Laura to easily behead the monster with one clawed hand. An ugly sounded echoed in the alley as the body slumped to the floor, leaving Laura staring down at the golden mutant.  No words came to her, so she just turned and hurried away. 

As a clock, Skrulls got word of there being high valuable targets the Queen wanted all gathered in one single spot.  So of course, non assimilated soldiers started gathering in the ally. Green, ugly, with their chin high up .  “The empire welcomes you  humans… do not resist. “ one spoke gun pointed at them.

°°°

Meanwhile, further away, another squad team of Skrulls had gathered a couple of civilians in a very exposed area. In truth, it was a bait, to see who would take it to be captured and assimilated. Would someone bite. The question was going to find its answer. 

note : no die for now. Your actions in this round will determine the choices for the next round. 

Barnes turned around at the song of another well-known voice. “Hey. Steve. Thanks for joining the party.” He smiled at his old friend but had to quickly get back to the fight as an alien was … welcoming them? “Uh, except it’s our land here. And you are not welcomed. Earth is closed, sorry.” He tightened his grip on his shield. “You got your reply Sam. Apparently aliens so from space.” As the gun was pointed at them, he did not wait for them to make the first move since the offensive had already been set. He took the gun at his belt and fired at them. “Sam, go help the people over there. We’ll stay here. Steve, I guess we’re staying here.” He looked around and looked at Laura. “Hey kid. Mind to help us around?” Bucky didn’t wait for any more time and ran towards the green army, mostly fighting with gun and shield, watching everyone’s back.

Few minutes later the street was crowded : Steve welcomed the help of the new Captain America, as long as the other heroes coming to fight this new alien invasion.

‘No problem Buck, always here to have fun, I guess?’

Steve smiled, punched a few alien faces and then came to a stop when a gun was pointed at him. Well, firearms, that was cheating. He took advantage of Bucky’s sudden offensive to try and attack the aliens in front of him. What else could he do ?

‘We’re going nowhere, dear invaders, neither are those people.’

It was nice to see Steve back in action. About damn time, really. “I’m on it, Barnes. I’m gonna take Midas with me. Kid looks like he might get hurt if I leave him with you two clowns. Come on, Goldilocks,” he said, grabbing Josh by the arms. “You might want to hold on tight,” he warned before lifting off and flying towards the secluded group of people. “We need to get them as far from these things as possible. Got it, kid?”

“I-I’m fine thanks…” Josh trailed off, still barely understanding what was going on besides general chaos and him still not hurt. He looked around in fear at the aliens, not sure what he was supposed to do, he couldn’t fight, why the hell had he come here agai-

“I’m sorry what did you call me?” Goldilocks? Midas? Josh was about to snap back when the guy grabbed his ams and instead his yells became a squeal of, “No-no! Wait! Don’t- I have a- fear of heeeeeeeeight!!” he yelled as the ground vanished beneath him, his legs kicking at nothing and he screamed (in a decidedly boyish) way “Oh-my-God-Oh-my-God-oh-my-God!” he yelled, hardly hearing any of Sam’s words, “I don’t care what we’ve gotta do just don’t drop meeee!!!!”

Cindy was thankful others had joined her in the fight. Seemed like most of them had their job already set. “I’ll go with Sam and the kid. See if I can help keep some of the heat off of them.” she told the group. “Call me if you need more backup though.” After saying that she shot her next web and took off towards the next group of people. Swinging from rooftop to rooftop she spotted them up ahead. With one final huge swing, she launched herself up into the air. High above them, she spotted one of the aliens walking towards the group the civilians. Shooting a web at him, she caught him in it, tangling him up. She aimed her landing to kick the alien back into the wall. “Well that was an entrance.” she smiled, as she pulled the attention of some of the others in the area. “Who’s next?”

Jubes stopped in front of a portion of aliens and planted her teeth into the neck of one. She coughed rapidly as the taste was bitter and not human. No one ever told her she couldn’t feed on something else than human, apparently not, or it got to get used to. She had listened with her vampire ear to what has been said, and decided that the distraction needed a distraction. With that bite done, she got half of them to follow her to another ally and hoped Laura would be behind to close in from behind and finish them.

@weaponx-23

The sudden onslaught of enemies sent X-23′s senses on edge. Crouching down into an offensive stance with claws out as a snarl marked her face. For a moment she did nothing, unsure of how the others around her were going to react. However, once heard Barnes call over to her, she knew violence was inevitable. Laura nodded once towards Bucky before locking her eyes on the enemies ahead of her. Launching herself at the invaders, she slashed her claws through them, trying to hurt as many as possible.  However, as Jubilee fled the alley toward another target, Laura followed without hesitation.

Suddenly everything was turning into chaos around her. Cindy had been at home when she got the call to rush into the city. Grabbing her suit, she headed downtown to see where she could help. With all the people panicking around her, it was hard to pick out the people causing problems. Cindy had webbed up a few of the “people” causing problems. “Sorry about that! Just stay there for now.” she told them before, shooting out a web and propelling herself to the nearest rooftop. Pressing the communication device in her ear that SHEILD had given her, she hoped someone out there was listen. “Hello? Not sure who is even on this channel but if you are in the city I could use some serious help.”

Josh was not equipped for this, he was not equipped for this! He’d rushed downtown without even thinking because he knew people would be hurt; now he was in a chaos that made the purge event look tame in comparison. It was almost impossible to tell who was fighting on the good side or the fucking-alien-spaceship’s side; he just kept running, ducking into ally’s and behind buildings until he saw a figure slumped down. He rushed over but it was too late… the man was gone. And he’d been a solider, SHIELD. Oh God this was bad this was so very very-

Josh jolted at the voice, it was coming from a comm on the soldier’s shoulder, he pulled it off and started babbling into it. “H-hello, umm… the guy who had this is- he’s passed and I have no idea what t-” he cut off when the brief light from the ally was cut off and a giant figure blocked one entrance, “Holy shit!” he yelled jumping back as the thing leapt forward and legging it out of the ally, better the chaos in the open than that! “I need help too! Jesus those things are hu-” he was cut off again when another one appeared in front of him- 

He was not equipped for this…

He wasn’t stopping for every person staring at him, but as she saw that teen giving him money, it made him look up at the girl. “Hey, kid!” He stopped, took what she left and gave it back to her. “I was not asking anything. Sorry if that was the case. There, take it back.”

She froze in front of him as he heard him speak, but it her eyes were not full of fear. They were apprehensive in where she was unsure if she’d have to respond to what he did in violence. However, that feeling quickly disappeared as he gave her back the cash. “Oh. I assumed...sorry.” Laura muttered, ducking her head to stare at the pavement.

Scott looked up when he heard the chess pieces moving and watched Laura as she began to play with herself on the board. Her moves were tactical and methodical. “May I?” he asked, pointing to the board.

Her eyebrows scrunched slightly, looking up at him as Scott asked the question. Realizing his motives were sincere, Laura moved her hand away from the white piece and gave a curt nod. She sat back, waiting to see his strategy from the move he planned on making.

Laura could not help but stop and stare at the men across the street. He smelled like Logan and her; like violence, specifically like blood. A soldier down on his luck, most likely. Pulling the few dollars she had out of her pocket, she walked over and placed the change at his feet.

❝ sacrifice ? like –– like what, for –– for a god ? ❞

❝ what’s a god ? can we even know they exist ? people believe things, which means they’re real. that means we know they exist. so what came first ? gods ? or the people who believed in them ? ❞

❝ where was all this before i met you ? ❞

❝ there’s always a window. but people are frightened to look through it. it’s safer in the prison cell. ❞

❝ who are you ? ❞

❝ i believe in some things. ❞

❝ was she a ghost ? i mean, do you think you saw a ghost ? ❞

❝ you know, you’re not questioning any of this. i’m questioning everything right now. ❞

❝ well, at this stage it’s ‘we’ll see’, or, ‘time will tell’, but if it’ll rest your weary head, then yeah, it’s gone. ❞

“And it’s supposed to be a reason? Not because you heal that you don’t feel kid.” He crossed his arms and looked at her. “But you already know that. That’s why you’re doing it. Cause you feel it, it hurt, you heal, you can continue, again and again. Point is your arm will be always healed. No scars, no wounds, no shit. It’s fucking useless and it finally doesn’t even help right?”

Laura swallowed the lump that formed in her throat as he spoke. His words left her exposed and vulnerable. She lashed out in retaliation, picking words she knew would make him feel the same way she did now. “I could drink instead,” She paused before going on, “or go out looking to fight. Then I wouldn’t be hurting myself. That makes it okay, doesn’t it?” Her eyes were daring him to contradict her; to speak out against his own unhealthy habits.

Wrong way of taking care of the problem uh? But Logan was just bad at this, deeply wanting her to be better, to feel better, to not become like him. His reaction was nothing else than a reflex, he wasn’t described as a bad-tempered man for nothing. At her silence, he hesitated between yelling more, leaving the room or trying hard to calm down. The last choice was obviously the best one to pick but Logan sighed and started to walk away, giving up because he knew he could make all of this worst. So he left her, still angry or rather frustrated but stopped himself in the middle of the corridor, cursing and changing his mind after seeing Charles at the end of the corridor. This fucking bastard and fucking good timing pissing him more and also pushing Logan to act like a real adult, mentor, father? Yeah no, just like a fucking better person. Anyway, back in the room and in front of Laura, Logan took a deep breath and tried something else. “Bad day?” He asked. Yeah, it was a start, but the old man could do better. “Listen… I’m sorry okay? Didn’t mean to freak you out, just… I’m not in your mind kid, but I know pain can look like an answer to whatever you’re dealin’ with. I’ve been there, doing the same mistakes and trust me, self-mutilation solves nothing. So… just try to stop that okay? Speak to someone if you want to, push things instead, knit, I don’t know but you need to stop this shit.” 

Laura stayed staring at him until he finally huffed out of the room. Her shoulders dropped, the tension evaporating from her body as she turned back toward the sink. Quickly, she finished scrubbing off the blood from her wrist, revealing untouched skin. Leaving the bathroom, her body tensed as she saw Logan again. Suprise washed over Laura at seeing him return; she was not used to people coming back. With wide eyes, she listened to him speak. The concern in his voice grated on her nerves. Logan did not care about her. She was just another problem that life threw at him. He did not want her. He did not choose her. She noticed how Logan treated the other girls in the house. Jubilee, Kitty, Rogue. Those were the girls he chose, and wanted, and cared about. Anger began to swirl in her belly as Laura listened and thought about this. She let it fill her up chasing out all the hurt and guilt which consumed her earlier. Anger was familiar. Laura could deal with anger. Keeping her sight on Logan, she replied quietly, but convinced, “Why not? I heal. There is no harm.”

Laura completely ignored the man’s words as she sat down opposite him staring intently on the chessboard. They taught her chess at the Facility when she was younger– good for understanding military strategy, they said. Moving a black knight forward, Laura was already reaching out for a white pawn to counter herself.
