Chapter 48 - Stress (2/2)

Everyone was shocked at her outburst and stood still as she went on a small rant. ”If Howlett is here.” She took a deep breath ”If Weapon X is here! Then that means you want to experiment on me! Control me! Take away my freedom! You want to turn me into a weapon just like him! To kill more of those close to me! To do more dirty work! I want out, I have lost enough! I will control my own future! You abduct me! Drug me! Cuff me! Attack me! Don't lie to me!!!”

Laura panted as she felt strength drain from her body, but held on tight to Kitty. Logan who just bore the brunt of her scream didn't react outwardly, but on the inside his thoughts were set alight. She, Laura, knew who he was.

He had heard himself referred to before as Weapon X, but he never knew the context. What she had just said told him that she knew about his past, 'Was his last name Howlett?' He wanted, no he needed to know. He couldn't let her escape, but there was one thing bothering him.

His gruff voice sounded out in the quiet after the outburst. ”But am I not your father?” It was a conjecture from the professor, and it had stuck in Logan's mind since he had been told. He had gone through a lot in the memories he still had, but he hoped that out of his mysterious past he hadn't estranged himself from his daughter to such a degree, that she hated his guts.

If that's what she truly was, it was the closest thing he had to family. Those around him gave shocked looks as they heard his words. He or the professor hadn't mentioned that Laura might possibly be Logan's daughter. Sure they had the same abilities, but it could have been a coincidence.

Laura looked at him dumbstruck for a moment after hearing his words. Thoughts and memories passed through her mind, as they drifted to the one woman that treated her like a daughter, the woman who she had killed.

Her eyes turned red as she looked at him. Logan suppressed a flinch as he saw the hate in the eyes of his supposed daughter. Her body trembled in rage as she gritted her teeth, finally after a few seconds she exploded in laughter.

The laughter could have sent a chill down anyone's spine and the tears running down her face made everyone in the room feel a small amount of pain. ”You cause this. You caused my pain my suffering. I wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for you. You aren't my father! This is all your fault. This is all your Fault!”

Laura's shaking slowly started to stop her body losing its strength. And before long she fell to the ground. Kitty phased out of her grip so that no harm could be done. Xavier rolled slowly into the room, taking his hand down from his temple.

Looking down at the unconscious woman for a few seconds her turned to Hank. ”Hank would you kindly go and place her in one of the rooms to rest. I think we should try talking again at another time.” Hank gave a small nod before moving to pick her up.

”Logan a word.” Charles spoke as he left the room. Logan gave a small nod as his eyes didn't leave the body of Laura. His mind was trying to process everything she had said. He now had more questions than when he started. Storm watched him leave with a concerned expression before walking out herself. She also had a few things to think about after this incident. After a few minutes the room was empty.
