Her Bags are Packed, She's Ready to Go

[lightphoenixj]

Consider this a lesson in life. There is good and there is evil. Loved ones will always be a target. Bane's words echo in her mind as she finishes packing her suitcase. After a night of trying to explain just how extensive her powers are to her concerned parents, she leaves them a note and slides out the back door.

Oh god. Don't go into a spiel about it being a box of chocolates. Never know what you're going to get, yadda yadda I like my life cherry sweet and sugar coated thank you very much. But come on. I was inside my best friend's head when she died. At 10 years old. Spent most of fifth grade comatose. I know - I know these things. Ive seen the very worst thoughts that brew in people's minds - what they'd never dare utter. About the people closest to them even! Life sucks. Grand news flash. It's just... without filtering it all with a rosey tint - how do you bear it? ::smiles at him:: Well I know how you handle it. Beer and smokes and gruffness.

You're never going to let me live the crush thing down, are you? Tall dark and handsome bad boy with the secret golden heart - how could I not? Everybody loves a rebel Logan. ::sighs:: You didn't fail me. You're not my private knight in shining armor to shield me from harm. But just having you here - I hope you know it makes a world of difference to me. ::she lets out a groan: God, this is verging on sickeningly sappy, even for me. ::she wipes her puffy eyes and tear streaked cheeks, trying to recover:: How are you handling this?

::grows deadly serious:: I don't know where Marie is. I've been trying to contact her. Was going to try to find her before I left. The monster tried to convince me she was dead but it's not ::shakes her head and closes her eyes attempting to force out the thought:: I know it's not true. I thought she'd just been at Johnny's but... Oh god. She could be anyone Logan! A shapeshifter!
