Part 1:

Where am I? What is that smell? What happened? Oh, yeah. Big overgrown pussycat with a tree. Just wait till I get my hands on him; or rather my claws. I wonder if my camper is all right…camper…the kid! God damn it! I knew things would go wrong. Where the Hell can she be?

What is that? Someone's touching my knuckles. It's not her. It's a woman, older, stinks of hospital. I HATE hospitals. Yeah, come on, darlin', a bit closer. Gee, sweetheart, are you sure you don't wanna remove my pants while you're at it? There. Got you. Should I kill her? The kid. Oh, I don't have time for that. There, that'll keep her occupied while I look for the kid. Where's the damn door? There. Free……fuck. It's nothing but a long hallway. What the hell is this? Let's annoy Logan day? What's with all the X's and hallways? Is this a lab? Another Goddamn lab. I need to find an exit and fast. Maybe they don't know whom…what I am just yet.

Damn things that doctor put all over me; small stickers or something. I HATE hospitals. Away with them. Clothes, I need a shirt. That'll do. More X's…. what the fuck is this place? Okay, exit; now.

No, wait, the kid. Oh, fuckin' wonderful. I can't smell her near the hospital which is better anyhow. Should I go after her? Damn, I don't need this. I need to get away. The Hell with her…she means nothing to me…Nothing. Goddamn it; I can't leave her. Alright, I'll search for her.

*Sniff* she has been here. Going this way. Slightly frightened. If anyone has harmed her I'll kill the whole lot of them! Where was I? Yes, her sent is strong here…What is that? Feet running. Coming closer. They know I'm missing. They're chasing me. They want to take me prisoner again. I need to go; NOW. Screw the kid; I'm out of here.

Oh, fuck. I can't leave her to them. Okay, just this one time…I'll go look for her.

What? Kids? They have lots of kids here? This is either a school or the dream of a very sick man. I can smell her again. There, inside that room. Finally, safe. Now I can find some peace to find out what to do next and….

Fuck. More kids and an old man. Just great. This is just my day. Add in a cop wanna be and the fuckin' annoying doctor and I'm in Hell.

Xavier, yeah, yeah. Whatever. Where is the kid? Breakfast? No, I want to get out of here. NOW. Hmm, nice looking lady there. White hair; how unusual. Hmm, Red Eye doesn't like me looking at 'Ro.

Oh, goodie. The fuckin' doctor. My life is officially a nightmare. You, kid, get out of my way. I need to find the girl and get the Hell out of here.

What? A voice in my mind? Get the Hell out! My thoughts are private, old man. How do you know all this? What the fuck IS this place?

Horses, cars…man, this guy's loaded. One-Eye's giving a lecture on motors. Hum, maybe he's not a total loss.

Okay, Pro, no more talking. Where IS the kid? Let me see. In class? I've searched all over for her and she's hearing about some self-sacrificing guys dying for something that wasn't worth dying for. Nothing is worth dying for…..nothing. Damn, she did it again. A small smile, a gleam in her eyes. Look the other way, kid. Don't look at me like that. Don't…

Oh, crap. Alright, alright…

I'll be your Goddamn hero.   

The End
