[]Continued from Losing Control opened thread, but please wait for X-23. She is the star of the post after all I'm just starting it.[]
Logan's customized black Harley could be heard driving up the driveway. If anyone was outside they would see he wasn't alone. On the bike with him was a young woman in her late teens with a small backpack over one shoulder. The bike disappeared into the garage and was turned off. Logan got off the bike and helped Laura off too before speaking. "If your hungry I can take you to the kitchen for a bite to eat. Then I'll go find you a room want me to take your stuff for you?"

She had her arms wrapped loosely around his midsection as he drove. Hunter green eyes took in the front lawn and the large brick school as he drove up the long driveway. When he parked, she allowed him to help her his motorcycle and looked up at him.
Laura hadn't noticed just how hungry she was until he asked her. "Could we eat first?" She asked him.
While she waited for his answer, she sniffed the air around her and took in the many aromas of the Institute, as well as the sounds that she could hear coming from the inside. She wondered just how many people lived here.

Logan nodded as they headed into the mansion. Passing a few of the other students that jumped. As if they expected him to attack them. He went inside and took the first left he came to, then another left into the kitchen. He grabbed an apple off a bowl of fruit throwing it to Laura and he took a banana and started eatting it. "You can make a sandwich or I could cook something for ya if that's not enough."

She followed him, silently, through the halls. With well trained eyes she took in her new surroundings, as she slowly grew accustomed to the many scents. When they walked into the kitchen, she easily caught the apple he threw toward her. "This will be fine." She answered solemnly. She eyed the fruit for a moment, when a thought hit her. She lifted her gaze and looked at Logan. "What do I call you?"

He chewed and swollowed the bit of the banana in his mouth. He listened to her question thinking a moment more before speaking. "Well my name's Logan and it's what most people know me as, but if you wanting something a bit closer. I guess brother unless you want to think of me as your father?"

"Logan." Laura repeated, as if tasting the name. After that, she became silent as she looked up him. "What do you prefer, brother, or father?" She asked him. She has been on her own for a good two years, but she still wasn't used to making her own choices.

He looked at her finishing the banana as he thought it over. "Well what I think is this I never knew your mother. So technically your not really my daughter. Not that I wouldn't want you to be, but I feel it would take something away from this woman. That was your mother and that would be wrong to her memory. So I think calling me brother would work best."
He turned away from her picking through the fruit in the bowl. Seeing what else might be in there he would want to eat. He found some grapes and ripped a vine full off and handing them toward Laura. Picking a few off as he waited to see if she wanted the vine.

She accepted the vine of grapes he handed to her as his words settled in. She shifted her backpack toward her side, un-zipped it and placed the apple inside. She closed the black bag and swung it back on her back. "You're my brother then." She murmured. She plucked a single graped and popped the sweet piece of fruit into her mouth.

(Oh just pointing out Laura wouldn't have to look up at Logan. His 5' 3" where I think Laura is like 5' 6" or 5' 7".)
He smiled at her, "works for me kid, so those guys that made you not have as good a budget this time? I noticed they cheated ya and only gave you two claws." He extended all three of the claws from his right arm. Showing her and retracted them back not needing them out now. He only kept bringing it up to show the girl it was ok to talk about it and that she could ask questions too if she wished.

((I'll make a mental note of that!))
Laura eyed his claws and remembered seeing X-Rays of them in the lab. She averted her eyes, and locked them with his darker ones. "The DNA sample that they had of you was broken, so they fixed it. That's why I'm a girl, and because of that, I have smaller forearms." She informed him. "But they didn't run out of money. I have my third claw in my foot."

He nodded as he thought of the advantages of a foot claw in fighting. "Better weaponry for the female of a species. Since there the one that must continue the genetic line." He chuckled lightly, "sorry guess I watch to much, of the Discovery Chennal." He took another bunch of grapes eatting a few. "If your about ready we'll go find you a room now?"

Laura ate another grape as Logan talked. Somehow, she managed not to choke at his first remark. Carry on the genetic line? Was he nuts? She was sure that he had no idea how much it had hurt to get her claws. She growled low in her throat as she recalled the pain.
She stopped growling when he asked her if she was ready for her room. With a nod of the head, she answered; "Yes."

He said nothing when she growled only gave her a nod. As a sort of silent I know I'm sorry and put what grapes were left away. He motioned for her to follow him and walked out of the kitchen. He moved slowly through the mansion allowing Laura get used to the layout. Finally coming to halls that were mostly just girls were. He asked one student where a empty single room was.
She told him he thanked her and moved on. The room he found for her was close to the back stairs and a outside door. It was a room Professor X had never allowed to many to have. Cause it was to easy for girls to slip out unnoticed, but Logan trusted her and wanted to show it. Knowing she needed that if she was ever to grow to trust him and the school. "The stairs there go to a back door to the outside your free to go, but I hope you don't."
He then turned from the stairs opening the door to her new room letting her enter first. There was a mirrored dresser, a walkin closet, small bathroom, a desk, and in the middle of the room a queen sized bed. He pulled the desk chair out and set down. "So what do you think? I'll look around to get you a computer for the desk there, but until then there are computers downstairs too."

Laura ambled beside Logan as the walked. With emotionless hunter green eyes she took in the expensive décor that plagued the hallways. She eyed some of the girls they passed like a hunter eyes their prey.
She stopped beside him when they reached the bedroom, and she nodded when he told her about the stairs. She lingered in the doorway first, and inhaled the scents that lingered in the room. Not many have stayed in here. When she entered, she walked straight toward the window, and slid it open.
“It’s big.” Laura answered Logan’s question as she gazed outside at the vast fields. She turned to look at him after a moment. “What do I need a computer for?”

Logan had watched her as she eyed the other students, but had said nothing. Once they had got to the room he thought it was time, but he would start by answering her question. "Yes, but don't let it overwhelm you it's our home. As for what you need the computer for every student needs one. Some have to use the ones in our computer lab, but I'm sure your going to be a senior student. Senior's are sometimes called in by us X-Men to help in missions."
He then thought of the missions the group that made her must of made her do. "Our missions save people we kill only as a last resort. I'm sure that bothered you too the blood on your hands I mean. If you ever get used to the blood you become just what they wanted inhuman." He fell silent, but then remembered he had not yet fully answered her question of the computer. "Anyway if your not called telepathically it'll be by the computer's web cam."
He chuckled lightly, "don't worry it'll only be two way view if you make it so, but one more thing. I saw the way you looked at the girl's as we walked up here. Do you see them all as possible enemies?"
