Claws Of A Warrior (Closed)

[Mayu]

So many people have a very bad hand dealt in life, but mutants there cards were dealt poorly. They have been put through hell only because of the president and what the president fears the whole country fears. But there is only one human that feels other wise. Her name was Grace, a young woman who stopped believing in her own kind long ago. Grace is fear itself because people know where she stands on this war. She vowed long ago to stop this even at the cost of her own life. She is a rogue, someone that doesn't care about anything but for what she believes in. She is a girl only eighteen but has done so much for the mutant race already. She has made under ground shelters for homeless mutants and has been running for three years now.

She herself has a small home but because she doesn't really do much she lives on the money her parents gave her when they died. Slowly but surely she is hoping to teach humans that these mutants, not all want to hurt us, only the brotherhood, but thats only because Magneto wants to free his kind, which is understanding. Magneto is the reason humans fear so much, but also there ignorance but now this is a new age and Grace will be on the side of mutant kind, even if it kills her.

The only friend in the world is Logan a man that means the world to her, she has yet to find out that he is a mutant, for now she thinks he is another human that believes what she does. Grace with her knowledge of weapons and science she has special weapons that would give a human a mutant power, this way of showing others that everyone is capable, but now Logan was another story..

~June 4th 2008~

Grace was waiting for Logan she could smell cigar smoke coming from some place, but then she turned when she did she had to smile, Grace saw him coming up on his motorcycle. She smiled some as she looked at him "Well Well if its not the great Logan" She winked and kissed the side of his face something he used to mumble about but now he doesn't just forces a smile.

Looked through the visor of his motorcycle helmet and spotted Grace. He smiled a little at the thought of him wearing a helmet, like a crash would do any lasting damage. Oh well, he pulled up to the curb and killed the engine on his bike. He got off, his leather jacket cracking. She kissed his cheek and he pretended not to notice. “Hey kid, how’s it goin?” He asked in his deep, almost growling voice.

 

[Mayu]

She smiled "Nothing much" She ran her fingers through her hair 'Actually I got a letter today from Charles Xaiver the guy who owns the school for mutants, he wants me to make a visit sometime, you know I used to think I was crazy to believe what I believe but....innocents will not be slaughtered, hence the reason I did what I did with the shelter" She looked into his eyes "And ever since ive known you which is what over a year, there is something about you but I don't know what, I hope in time I may know what"

 

[Phoenix_05]

Logan snorted. “Aint nothing crazy ‘bout thinkin people shouldn’t be treated like animals just cuz they’re different.” He paused for a moment, as if considering something. “Xavier’s a good man. He’ll be able to teach you a lot, and maybe help with your shelter. You’ll like gettin to know him.” Another pause. “As for me, well” he chuckled “You’ll just have to get in line

 

[Mayu]

She laughed some "Your a challenge Logan thats why I like you so much" She winked but then got a phone call she took her cell and answered, but it was then her eyes showed shock but then her free hand was clenched rather roughly.

"Son of a bitch...." She closed her eyes "Where.....alright" She hung up and soon screaming was heard. "Right on time' She sighed and looked at Logan "Some guys are after me, looks like I get to test out my equipment" She smirked and soon right on schedule she heard guns. And turned but as she did she flexed her wrists and looked like claws out of her hands like Wolverine but if you looked close enough you could see how it was possible.

 

[Phoenix_05]

Logan’s eyes widened. It couldn’t be possible. He grabbed her wrist and examined the back of her hand. Grace was wearing a glove with small metal ridges between the knuckles. The razor sharp blades were extended from the ridges, suspiciously similar to his adamantium-coated claws. He looked up at her between her “claws”. “You think this will be enough to protect you in a fire fight?” He mounted his bike, still holding her wrist and practically slinging her onto the seat behind him. “Get on the bike, we’re getting the hell outta here before you get yourself killed

 

[Mayu]

She watched what he was doing and felt his hand on her wrist she could never over power him even if she want to which she didn't, she turned around and as she swung around was on the back of his bike and held onto him, when he started the bike and got out of there very fast she wondered why he would do this for her, she smiled as she laid her head on his back.

"Where are we going Logan?"

 

[Phoenix_05]

“Away from the sounds of gunshots.” Logan said contritely. He reached back and handed her his helmet. “Here, put this on.” He looked back briefly as she took the helmet. “What’s going on back there, Grace? What were those gunshots and who are the bullets after?”

 

[Mayu]

She put the helmet on and looked at him "They are after me, they heard of what I have done, my shelter is safe because only mutants know where it is and you of course, but you I trust with my life" She sighed "They want me dead out of the way because I am a force they don't wanna fuck with, im a human that believes we should all be equal not just people who are considered human, its a risk I knew about and was willing to take it"

 

[Phoenix_05]

Logan grunted. “Well, we can’t go back to the Shelter, they’ll follow us and kill everyone inside.” He paused a moment. “But there is somewhere we can go…” Logan brought his hand up to his ear, in which was inserted a small radio device. “X, I need a place to hide, I’ve got feds looking for a girl riding shotgun on my bike.”

Logan heard Professor Xavier’s voice come in loud and clear, but Grace couldn’t. “Of course, Logan. You know the X-Mansion is always open to you, but the government won’t dare set foot here.”

Logan grinned “Savin my bacon again. See you soon.” He yelled over his shoulder at Grace. “Hold on tight kiddo, I’ve got a hideout.” He felt her grip around his waist tighten as he revved the engine and shot off out of the city and into the countryside.

 

[Mayu]

She had no idea how in the hell he managed to do that but paid it no mind, she found them heading for the mansion once on the grounds the gates locked behind them and found a special place underground it looked, when he pulled and shut his bike off she got off and there was a man there waiting for them. He was in a wheelchair and smiled.

"You must be Charles Xavier" She said with a happy tone as she slowly removed the helmet as she did almost like slow motion she tossed her hair back and smiled her green eyes gentle as she put the helmet back on the bike and walked right up to him.

"Its a great honor sir" She said happily.

 

[Phoenix_05]

Logan got off the bike. “Chuck, this is Grace. Grace,” he gestured from her to Xavier. “This is Professor Charles Xavier.”

Xavier smiled as he rolled forward and extended his hand. “Ah, the young sympathetic to the mutant cause! I’m pleased to meet you Grace. You have caused quite a stir of late.” He turned his chair and they walked from the hangar. “Don’t worry about what’s going on in the city, I have my team on it. Everything will be fine. He led them to an elevator which brought them up to the mansion proper. “We’ll be able to discuss your shelter in the morning, and I’ll also give you a full tour of the Mansion."

 

[Mayu]

She smiled as she leaned against the elevator "Yeah well people in this city don't like me, human wise, except Logan any way, if it wasn't for Logan and what is going on with the gifted I never would have found my calling" She looked at Xavier as she knelt down to be his level to relax. "I do not understand why the gifted are hated so much" She looked down "Part of the stir is what ive created, Logan today saw my first gadget" She looked at Charles. " Ignorance is something ive never had so im happy ive had the chance to do something right"

 

[Phoenix_05]

After Grace’s first sentence Xavier shot Logan glance and muttered, “Yes, all of them except Logan, of course.” Xavier looked into Grace’s eyes. “My dear, you’ve done quite a few things right, never doubt that. But there will be talk of all this in the morning. Logan, your room is, as always, just as you left it, and we’ve had another room prepped next to yours for our guest, here.” With that, Xavier bid them good night and rolled off to his own bedroom.

Logan led them upstairs towards his bedroom. He looked back at Grace and smiled. “He seems pretty impressed with you, kid.”

 

[Mayu]

She smiled "Yeah well" She laughed some "I like to impress those who deserve it" She said softly "But I didn't know you have been here before" She tilted her head to the side for a moment looking into his eyes, her eyes soft her eyes begging for him to tell her what he has been hiding from her, she started to wonder if it was possible if Logan was...a mutant himself.

 

[Phoenix_05]

Shit, Logan knew coming here would risk his exposure to the girl. He didn’t want her to know he was Wolverine just yet, but it looked like she was figuring it out on her own. They met eyes for a moment and she simply held him in her gaze. He broke away and looked forward. “Xavier’s been usin’ his powers to help me find some stuff.”

 

[Mayu]

Grace smiled "Really? I knew he was powerful but had no idea how powerful" She grinned looking happily at him. "I hope I can help you if you ever need it" She placed her hand on his shoulder. "I care about you Logan, if it wasn't for you, your friendship and support id be very miserable and would more likely be just like everyone is, ignorant"

 

[Phoenix_05]

Logan held her gaze for a moment, and then looked away as the reached his door. “Yah, well, you’re a good kid, and what you’re doing is worth my help.” He nodded to the door next to his, the one Grace was already in front of. “That one’s yours. There’s a door inside that connects the two.” With that, Logan entered his room and set his bag down on the bed

 

[Mayu]

She went in and sighed some as she walked to the window and opened it, she sat on the window seat and looked outside, soon a melody could be heard from her a soft humming but her voice carried in the wind and all through the house, the wind blowing her black hair as her green eyes scan everything.

 

[Phoenix_05]

Logan unzipped his pack and pulled out another and pulled off his shirt, He started walking towards his bathroom so that he could shower, when he heard Grace’s voice. He paused at the door knob and listened for a moment. The song sounded so familiar, it stirred in him, like an old memory. He slipped through the connecting door quietly so as not to disturb Grace. He found her on her window seat. Logan leaned against the door-frame and waited until she finished the song, then simply said: “You’ve got a good voice kiddo.”

 

[Mayu]

She smiled looking at him and nodded happily "Sometimes I wonder if I told you a secret, something ive been wanting to say for months now" She looked into his eyes and sighed some as she stood up looking at him. "Since ive known you Logan there has been things driving me crazy, my feelings even tho you are not the cuddle type guy you still care in your ways" She looked down and sighed a bit. "Logan..." She only knew of one thing to do and she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him on the lips.

 

[Phoenix_05]

Logan’s eyes widened for a moment with the unexpected kiss, and then he lost himself to her soft lips. He was enveloped by her kiss, then he came to his senses and pulled away and looked down. “You’re just a dumb kid, you don’t know what you want.”

 

[Mayu]

Grace slowly turned away from him as she looked out of the window "Ive had to mature at a younger age then most, my parents murdered before my eyes, the world isnt kind to innocent life, you know that, but when im with you, I know everything will be ok" She turned as she placed her hand on the side of his face, her green eyes looking into his. "Im not a kid Logan and....if I have to beat you up to see that..." She said with a smile but a kidding tone. "Then I will"

 

[Phoenix_05]

Logan closed his eyes for only a moment when Grace placed her hand on his cheek, then he grabbed it and held it. He looked into her eyes with furious intensity. “You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into, Grace.” With that he dropped her hand and turned to leave.

 

[Mayu]

She watched him "You wont let me in, but even if you did, I wouldn't care" she placed her hands on his back as she laid her head against his back. "You help me stay strong Logan, what are you so afraid of? She closed her eyes feeling his warmth.
