Training (feel free to join)

[alexhowlett]

It was a cold, lonely winter night at the institute and Logan was no where to be found. He had been missing from 12:00 PM and it is now officially 3 in the morning. The only person who knew where he could be is in the bed. Logan wearing tore up jeans, no shirt and his dog tags was in the Danger room. As he destroyed everything that came at him the danger room progressively got harder and harder. The danger room changed scenes and he was now standing in a war zone. Logan ducked behind a car as a rocket hit where he was. "Heh gonna be funn!"

Logan's claws extended as he ran at the sentinels that were looking for him, he jumped up and landed on the back of one, sliced it's head off and jumped onto another one. "Hey." Logan said to the Sentinal, "Whats up?" as he stabbed his claws into the chest of the robot and slid down to the ground destroying it.

As soon as Logan landed on the ground he smelt a familiar smell. "Magneto..." Logan turned around and sure enough magneto was facing him. "Foolish X-Man." Logan leaped at Magneto and was frozen in the air and turned over and his bones started being in pain as if they were gonna break.

Faith woke up from another nightmare, her claws extended and her hand ready to fight. She finally awoke with a startled yelp and sat straight up in her bed in the room she had until recently been sharing with three other girls. The girls had requested a transfer of rooms due to her noisily awakenings at night. Hell, she has even destroyed some furnishing in her dream fights and kills. Professor had said that if she continues she will have to leave. She couldn‘t leave as she actually felt safe here. She felt like she belonged, even if she was having a hard time adjusting to the people here.

She swung her feet to the cold bare floor, the temperature not bothering her in the least. She was wearing a pair of solid grey pajama bottoms and a white tank top shirt. She was tightly wound from the dream and remaindered that the Professor had given her special permission to access the danger room to work out her stress and anger. She didn‘t remember the last time she didn‘t felt pressured and under stress, but she knew it was time for her to use the danger room. She looked at the clock on the wall for it to reveal three in the morning. She got to her feet and began to make her way to the danger room herself. Still barefoot, and dressed in her pajamas.

However when she got there, someone was already there running the hardest training program available. She sniffed the air and smelled Logan inside. She had walked in upon a war zone, and saw in the middle of a rubble riddle street, a man holding Logan up in midair and attempted to squeeze him to dust. She gave a low warning growl and held her hands out to her sides, fists clenched, and extended her claws. The holograph that had Logan in a death grip apparently didn‘t notice her, and she charged. Her hand swiping the mechanical robot right through the neck, making the head roll off and down the street. She waited until the mechanical body fell into a heap where it once stood before turning to face Logan. ”Is that how you avoid getting caught?” She asked him with an eyebrow raised. She let her claws back in for the moment, but somehow knowing that the program wasn‘t quiet over just yet.

“Speaking…”
‘Thinking…’
”Other person talking…”

Logan held in the pain as the robotic magneto squeezed his bones. He haerd the door open and saw Faith walk in the danger room. He heard as she made a low warning growl that magneto didnt seem to hear. As she destroyed the magneto hologram, he fell to the ground and looked at her.

”Is that how you avoid getting caught?”

"I wasn't trying to avoid being caught." Logan replied "I forgot his powers in here are as strong as they are out there..." Logan got up and tackled her behind a car as the spot the were in was now a crater. "Is that how you avoid getting hit?" Logan asked getting up as his claws extended and looked at who made the crater. "Fun now i get to kill Scott!" Logan said with a smile as he ran at the hologram version of Scot and tackled it to the ground, pulled his arm up and went to slash the visor off his eyes but when he did that he was blown back and it the top of the danger room and fell to the ground. "Ow...he's gonna get it now." He said as he got up, caught the lazer that was being shot at him and threw it back blowing up the hologram version of scott.

"Now that was fu-..." Logan was interrupted as all the Brotherhood mutants were on a hill looking at him and Faith. "Great..."

Logan kept looking at them as Pyro threw a fireball at the remaining houses and blew them up. Logan crouched and growled at them. "Let's do this!" He looked at Faith "Ready? you wanna destroy some of the Brother hood mutants?" Logan asked

Faith cocked her head to the side as she listened to his feeble explanation. She started to shake her head when he tackled her and dove behind a nearby car. She only glared at him as he asked if that was how she avoid getting hit. She would have moved, but she was a bit anxious to hear his answer. The heat was a dead give away as to who had attacked them this time. She had heard that Logan and Scott didn‘t get along to well, but then it didn‘t surprise her. Logan didn‘t get along with most people anyway. She sighed as she watched him take care of the robotic Cyclops.

"Let's do this! ... Ready? you wanna destroy some of the Brother hood mutants?"

She looked at him when he returned next to her. The explosions from the houses along the streets only fueled her need to destroy something, and what better than the Brotherhood. ”Sure, but I get the matchstick over there.” She said, pointing to Pyro with her fist and then extending her claws once more. This character seems to be a challenge for her, and with a roar she leapt over the car. She extended her other set of claws and charged the human torch. She managed to dodge most of the fireballs, but when she was right about to reach him he managed to hit her right in the middle of the chest with a fireball. She felt the flames singe off her shirt and then her skin. She stumbled backward a few steps, and gritted her teeth. Pain was nothing new to her, and this was no different.

Faith twisted her body to the side backwards and allowed the ball of fire to continue on the path behind her. The set of her eyes had changed, and she howled like an animal. She crouched, letting the wound heal to where everyone could see it. She then jumped up and leapt right in the middle of the crowd of the Brotherhood robots. She let out another animalistic roar, and just sliced anything that was in her way. It didn‘t matter if it was friend or foe. Her temper had gotten the better of her, and there was no stopping her until the fight had ended. The first thing she did was slice the head off of the fire controller who had threw a fireball at her chest.

Logan looked at Faith and watched as she said ”Sure, but I get the matchstick over there.” then she charged him. Logan just watched and admired what she did. When she was hit with the fireball his claws extended out of his hand and he ran into the members of the Brotherhood but when he saw Faith jump in the middle and slashed anything in her way he stopped and saw someone with the Maramusa blade. He leaped at the person holding it and sliced across the chest but soon relized it was a real person that intruded the danger room.

He jumped back and dodges the maramusa blade, the only thing that can kill him because part of his soul is fused into it, and kept dodging. Logan lost focus and was stabbed in the stomach, Logan looked down and payed no attention to the hole in it and kept slashing and stabbing at the intruder but kept missing because he's losing to much blood. "Faith! Cut off the program! I need your help!" Yelled Logan. Logan was slashed right across his chest and jumped back holding the cut. "Faith! Now!!"


Logan decided to just dodge the Maramusa blade instead of trying to fight it. The intruder went to stab Logan in the heart but he grabbed the blade of the sword pulled himself to the intruder and elbowed him in the face, but the intruder didnt let go of the sword so Logan let go and slid under the intruder and kicked him in the back of the knees, stood up and fell to his knees cause of the blood loss.

Faith was nearly done with the crowd of Brotherhood robots when Logan‘s voice entered her rage. She sniffed the air and smelled the metallic scent of blood and steel and paused in her tracks. Something was wrong. Way wrong. ”Program off.” She commanded and watched as the environment melted away. She saw Logan fighting an intruder with a blade that seemed to be hindering him.

”Faith! Now!!”

She watched as he tried to dodge the blade and wasn‘t having much success in it. She growled, and charged the intruder. She noticed that he wasn‘t healing like he should, and that only made her angrier. She could feel the rage coming back. She then managed to gather the intruder attention and the attack was turned on her. She easily blocked the blade with her claws and got in a few good blows of her own. Finally, she managed to get close enough and stabbed the intruder in the chest instantly killing him or her. Who ever it was dressed in black and had a mask on to conceal their identity. Once they fell, she turned to see Logan fall to his own knees bleeding profusely from his gut. She of course rushed over to him, fear clearly seen on her face. It was the first time that she had shown that emotion.

”Logan, come on and heal. Please heal…” Faith pleaded with him. If there was only some way for her to give him some of her ability. She couldn‘t loose him. Not like this. She had just found him. Sure he was an ass sometimes, and he pushed to too an extreme, but he was her father. ”Logan… Don‘t you dare die on me.” She ordered him and attempted to help him to his feet.

“Speaking…”

Logan watched helplessly as Faith fought and defeated the intruder, when she helped him up he winced in pain. "Heh...like...ill let that happen...but i cant heal....that blade he was using....is the only way I can die...because...part of me is fused into it....so when im attacked with it...i cant heal like you...i have to heal like everyone else..." Logan looked at the sword. "Im...gonna have to destroy the sword...or hide it..." Logan kept holding the wounds as his hands got bloodied. "Hey...im sorry for being an ass...alot..."

Logan attempted to walk toward the door as he looked at his watch and fell to the ground, then slowly got up. "It's time...for the Beast and the others....training..." Right when he said that the door opened and standing at the door was Scott, Iceman, and Beast. Logan looked at them, "Don't say a word." Logan went to walk past Scott.


"Someone finally got the best of you huh?" Scott said with a smart ass tone of voice. "Well we need to get you looked at then dont we."

"Don't rub it in, I could beat you in a fight anyday even like this, so shut up." Logan replied, "Don't you dare touch me Slim." Logan said as he walked out.

[Faith Webster]

Faith attempted to help steady him as she got him to his feet, and listened to his broken explanation of what just happened. Someone wanted him dead, and they knew just how to do it. She eyed the sword that was laying next to the dead body and thought she should take it. She didn‘t want it back in the wrong hands again, and she would bet that Logan didn‘t want that either. She sniffed the air, and knew that he had just lost too much blood, and would need help. So as he walked toward the door, she picked up the sword and held it to her side.

The door opened when Logan said it was time for the team members of the X-Men to train. She rushed up to his side as they were faced with Scott, Iceman, and Beast. She couldn‘t help but glare at Scott when he gave Logan some lip. Here he was bleeding to death, and he was cracking jokes! She balled up one of her fists, and felt her claws extend once again. ”Just for that, Scott, you can clean up the body.” She snarled at him as she tried to keep her father upright.

”Don‘t you dare touch me Slim.”

Faith knew that he was talking to Scott and then walked right out the door. Blood trailing right behind him, and she of coursed followed. ”Logan, let‘s get you to medical… Please…” She called after him and pointed to the section that she had been to only once since she was there. She waited for him to go in that direction and stood beside him as she wanted to make sure he stayed up right. ”I‘m used to assholes. I just tolerate you more because you’re my father.” She finally told him as they walked side by side down the hall. She smirked up at him to let him know that it was okay and all the way he treated her in the danger room. ”Besides the handlers I had were much worse than you.” She added and was ready to catch him if he fell or swayed.

“Speaking…”

Logan looked at her when she said she was used to assholes, and he immediatly felt bad, he didnt want to be an asshole to her because sh is her daughter. "Still that doesnt make it right for me to be an asshole to you...your my daughter and fathers shouldnt act that way to their children...so again im sorry..." Logan looked at where she pointed and started walking that way. Then Logan fell toward the ground and was caught by Faith because she was ready for it.

Logan started limping toward the medical room and walked in it. "So who's in here?" Logan asked. Logan then looked at Faith and smiled for the first time in a long time. "Thank you." Logan eyed the sword. "Put that up someplace safe and dont let anyone, and i mean anyone, get ahold of it...in matter of fact...give it to the professor. I know he'll keep it safe." He said as he sat down and looked at the ceiling in pain. "Only if I had the ability to not feel pain...that would make this a whole lot easier."

Logan looked back at faith and her hands. "Have you gotten so used to the pain in your hands you dont feel it anymore?" He asked her than looked at his own hands and studies the scars inbetween his knuckles. "I feel the pain every now and then but, other than that I can hardly feel it. 'Ya know?" Then Logan layed down, "I'll be fine, dont worry about me. Just kick Scott's ass for me will ya? He deserves a good ass kicking every now and then from a you or me he just doesn't think so, but i do it. Just to show him i can still kick his ass, he doesnt like it but he gets over it, now you have to show him you can kick his ass." Logan said

[Faith Webster]

Faith shrugged her shoulder to let Logan know that it was quite alright. He didn‘t have to apologize to her for the way he acted. When he fell forward, her hands snatched out and kept him from meeting the ground yet again. They entered the medical bay and he called out if anyone was there. No answer came, and she sighed. She might have to play doctor as well. It was something she picked up when they poked and prodded her, as well as performed excruciating painful procedures on her as well. She decided to wait and see if anyone would show up first.

When he smiled at her, she could tell that it hasn‘t happened in a long, long time. It was the way it held on his face, and she of course returned the smile. It was the first time she had ever smiled, and he would know it. It just looked wrong on her face, as if she didn‘t know quite how to smile. She bowed her head when he thanked her to tell him it was of course nothing. His eyeing of the sword didn’t escape her notice and she shrugged saying again it was nothing. Then he was giving her instructions on what to do with the sword, and she of course listened to him.

"Put that up someplace safe and dont let anyone, and i mean anyone, get ahold of it...in matter of fact...give it to the professor. I know he'll keep it safe."

Faith nodded her head in a way of promising him she will give it to the professor for safe keeping. She then helped him sit down on one of the tables there and then watched as he looked up at the ceiling, clearly in pain. She then heard him say that he wished he had the ability to not feel it and it would make it a lot easier, she looked at him. ”Pain is what reminds us that we are alive. I know as well as you do that this is nothing compared to the adamantium bonding process… If we both survived that, then we can survive a little bit of pain…” She told him and then looked quickly away to keep the memories of her fifth birthday at bay. She of course remembered it like it was just yesterday. She then turned back when she heard him attempt to lay back down, and she reached out and helped him.

"Have you gotten so used to the pain in your hands you dont feel it anymore? ... I feel the pain every now and then but, other than that I can hardly feel it. 'Ya know?"

She looked at him and then her hands. She then took the opposite hand and lightly rubbed the area between her knuckles as if they were sore, and then looked back up at him. ”I don‘t think about it. It did at first, but I quickly learned that I shouldn‘t feel it…” She remembered the lessons that they ’taught‘ her by forcing her to continuously extend and retract her claws until she got the idea that pain was nothing to them, and she would most likely feel it forever. They just didn‘t care that she felt it; only that she shouldn‘t show it. She closed her eyes and extended them again, and this time she felt the pain that accompanied it. ”It is still there… But I was taught not to show it…” She told him as she tried to hold back the tears that threatened to spill at the memory. She didn‘t know what was wrong with her, as she normally doesn‘t show any type of emotion in front of any one. Then it hit her. Logan bleeding to death in front of her. That was what broke her wall.

"I'll be fine, dont worry about me. Just kick Scott's ass for me will ya? He deserves a good ass kicking every now and then from a you or me he just doesn't think so, but i do it. Just to show him i can still kick his ass, he doesnt like it but he gets over it, now you have to show him you can kick his ass."

Faith nodded her head in understanding. She knew she could run circles around Scott, and now that she stood up to him on Logan‘s behalf he would be pinning her like he does her father. She looked around the medical bay again and noticed that no one was coming, and she swore. She sat the sword down next to him, and went about gathering the supplies she needed. Once she had them all, she walked over to Logan and began to clean and dress his wounds. Once done, she took a step back and admired her handy work. She then looked at him again with a pleading look in her eyes. ”Please don‘t do that to me again. I really thought that you were going to…” She trailed off and looked away not wanting the tears to fall in front of him. She didn‘t want him to know that she was truly scared that he was going to die.

“Speaking…”
‘Thinking…’
”Other person talking…”

Logan listened intently to Faith and what she had to say. Dressed in blood and wounds he lets her bandage him up and looks at her promisingly. "What type of father would i be if i died infront of my daughter? not a good one. so i wont do it again. and i know the pain and wanting to cry because you think a loved one is going to die." He hugged her, "I'm sorry for everything that is going on right now, and i heard about your nightmares. I have nightmares about the day i was...experimented on, wanna know how to get through em?" Logan asked looking at her like a father would a daughter.
"All you have to do before you go to bed thank about good things that has happened since that day or what ever it is and thank about all the friends you made, the people you met, the people you saved because of it, and most importantly just think about the ones who are close to you before you go to bed, thats what i do, and it works." Said Logan advicingly. Logan took the risk of sitting up, "Aww dang this is gonna hurt for awhile, and im gonna have scars from it to."
12:00 pm
Logan looked out in the hallway after he grabbed the sword, "Lets go see wheels himself why dont we?" He limped toward the supply closet, grabbed a grey hoodie and walked toward the door. Logan looked back at you, "'Ya coming?" he asked Faith and started walking up to the professor's office, passing a whole bunch of students that mumble, Isn't that Wolverine? the first regenerator? what happened to him and why isnt he healing? Logan heard what the said and smiled at the thought of them not knowing what happened.
Logan walked into the Professor's office and placed the katana on his desk. "Someone found the only way to kill me Professor. But i dont know who, didnt recognize his/her scent, it was someone new." Logan said

The Professor looked at Logan. "Alright..." the Professor put the katana away, "We will find out who it was as soon as possible." The professor replied looking at the bandaged up Logan, "So he really did a doozy on you huh? We'll make sure it wont happen again."

Logan looked at the professor, "Yea...but the body is downstairs with Scott, Beast, and Bobby." Logan told the professor than walked out.

[Faith Webster]

Faith couldn‘t believe what she was hearing. He was actually acknowledging that she was his kid. She wondered why he was suddenly was doing that. He pushed her hard, as if he was actually testing her to see if she was actually his. The hug, she was unprepared for and she stood stiff for a moment before she allowed herself to return the hug. She back up a step to allow him some room to get up, and instead he actually did what she thought fathers are suppose to do. He tried to help her out.

"I'm sorry for everything that is going on right now, and i heard about your nightmares. I have nightmares about the day i was...experimented on, wanna know how to get through em? All you have to do before you go to bed thank about good things that has happened since that day or what ever it is and thank about all the friends you made, the people you met, the people you saved because of it, and most importantly just think about the ones who are close to you before you go to bed, thats what i do, and it works."

She cocked her head listening to what he had to say. He had been doing this a hell of a lot longer than she had. Perhaps it works. She would have to try it tonight, when she needed to go to bed again. She then helped him sit up and nodded her head in understanding about pain and scars. She watched as he grabbed the sword off of the table next to him. He then said they were going to see the Professor, and limped toward a closet the had extra gray sweats. He grabbed one and she followed suit, her shirt was ruined and needed to be replaced. All thanks to that fireball from the danger room. She followed him to the door and threw the shirt over her head in the process.

He paused at the door and asked if she was coming. She nodded her head and followed him throughout the school. He still might need her help in order to keep him upright. She heard the mumbles and then whispers of the students as they talked about her father, and then her when they saw she was behind them. ”Why is Lycan following Wolverine? Did you hear that she has claws just like him? She can also heal as well.” Faith ignored them and continued to follow Logan to the Professor‘s office. She stood just inside the door and watched the conversation, letting her father tell the Professor what he thought was needed.

"Yea...but the body is downstairs with Scott, Beast, and Bobby."

She turned to follow him, but paused for a moment as and afterthought, and told the Professor that someone wanted Logan dead and if it happened again she was going to find them first and then kill them. She then walked out only to listen to more whispers and speculations about what she is to Logan. They were all wrong, and she let them continue their crack pot theories. The less they know about her the better. ”Logan, you need to rest. Let me help you to your room.” She called after him as she trotted to catch up. The whispers of her state of dress, she just let roll off of her as she reached his side.

“Speaking…”
‘Thinking…’
”Other person talking…”
