"Thank you, Sir," she said as he walked past her. "She will be all right, won't she," she asked softly.

Gabriel came out, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure she'll be fine."

Wolfgang was the last to leave the room. "We're gonna need better fire insurance with a ticked off red head here." He said. " And yes. Gabby, youre right. Now get back to sleep, because you have my class first thing in the morning. Good night." he said as he walked down the hall to Cerebro's office.

"Don't call me Gabby." Gabriel called to him, not sure if wolfgang heard him. He went off to his room and went back sleep.

cerebro let out a heavy sigh and gathered his thoughts before speaking. when he did it was in the softest voice he could muster.
"you are aware that yer mother was an x-man. in fact she was one of the founding five and the first student here at professor xavier's school. " he paused for a moment trying to best phrase what needed to be said, "jean was one of the most powerful mutants of her day, at one point even harnessing the powers of the phoenix force, a near sentient energy field that could and did devour whole planets. as a daughter of jean grey you possess those powers as well, we know this due to the fact that you have a sister who also tapped the phoenix force."
he paused for a moment thinking of racheal summers hoping that red could read the wave a sadness that rushed over him. he plowed on before she could say anything, "as for the odd dreams..."
"did yer mother ever tell you the name of yer father?"
as cerebro asked the question, wolfgang entered the room. all the other mutant could do was stare at cerebro in shock. "i have no choice, " cerebro thought-said to wolfgang, "i have no real choice."

Putting his hands up as if to say alright, be careful, Wolfgang walked over to Cerebro's chair and sat down. "Eh, Cerebs, be suttle, use tact and for god's sake don't pis off the red head in here. priceless books and antiuqes you know?" He said. "Better yet, let's do this thing outside." Wolfgang said in worried voice.

"What I know about my father is very little. I do know his name, it's Logan. I know that my mother loved him very much."
She listened to the other teacher as he made his comments. She felt the feeling they both were having. Quickly she sat up. "What's going on. Why all this talk about my fath--" She stoped herself, as her mind became linked with Cerebro's for a moment. She saw three claws shot out of a man's hand. She didn't see much but she could tell that he had black hair.
Once the link broke she spoke, "Who is my father?" Her blue eyes widend as a flash of red washed over them.

cerebro stood up and went to a bookcase and retrived a photo album then sat back down beside red.
"this man is logan." he said pointing to a picture of a man in a brown outfit bearing the caption of "wolverine".
"that was the name we knew him best as. by accounts he was well over a hundred years old at the time of this photo, shortly prior to his leaving the x-men to found his own school in canada." cerebro paused for a moment and looked at wolfgang for a moment. realizing that he was staying out of this topic until absolutely necassary, cerebro pressed on with the story.
"at least that was the offical story that the institute gave as to why he left. there were...rumors that he left because of a falling out between him and the rest of the x-men, a code of honor betrayed by one party or the other. in truth, he left after your mother disappeared for a time. later we learned that she had you but did not want anyone to know that she was pregant or that it was logan's child. the professor and i were the only two people that she confided in at the time, wolfgang learned later when i briefed him on your coming."
"the dreams you discribe are from the sound of them memories that logan had from his days in the weapon x program when they fused his bones and claws with the adamantium metal. but im not sure how it is possible for you to be picking these images up just by being in this house."

Kira left the hallway and went to curl up in a chair for the remainder of the night. She soon fell asleep and unknowingly blended into her seat. She woke up the next morning to someone sitting on her. "Get off," she said testily, "This chair is already taken."

Gabriel jumped up, startled. "Who's there?" He asked as he willed a pipe in his hand.

Kira realized what had happened and separated herself from the chair. "Sorry if I startled you," she said, "It wasn't intentional."

"Oh, it's ok." He replied as he made the pipe disappear.

She stood slowly and walked over towards Cerebro, taking the picture in her hand. She stared at the image of her father. She knew, for some reason she had a stronge psylink to him, even beyond father and daughter.
She felt her hands burn once more just holding his picture. Closing her eyes she felt memories from the past.
(The feral mind was strong in its’ rage at being trapped by the female sitting on top of him, caressing him. At the same time it had to fight the thing growing more powerful every second. Logan struggled against his bonds as yet another broke. Suddenly the flashes of his past hit him. The two men and the woman became suddenly clear to him. She was his mother. The man who was shot was his father, and the man who shot him was the groundskeeper. He was having an affair with his mother, and Logan had killed him with his claws after he had cut down his father. His mother had killed herself as a young girl he still could not remember, who looked so much like Jean, had dragged him out of the mansion. They had left him alone with Rose at the age of twelve.
Then the flash of the Weapon X program hit. General Perdue was there, ordering the experimentation that had caused so much pain. Then he saw Silver Fox in front of the cabin they had once shared before Sabertooth killed her. He could smell the sent of sage on her. He then saw Mariko. She was at the original shrine that he had replicated mere feet away. He had rebuilt the outside exactly the same, and he brought the shrine itself from Japan to remember her. Then he saw Jean on the first day he met her. She was just as beautiful as she was today. He had instantly fallen in love with her that day.
She smelled like roses and baby powder. Then he remembered the day Magneto ripped the admantium from his body pore by pore. The only thing that had broken through the pain was Jean. He loved her, he would die for her. The feral would hurt her. It was with that that the last bonds of the mental cage broke, freeing Logan’s mind of its’ trap. Logan and the feral vied for control and the war began in earnest. Each side attacked and counterattacked, but Logan, supported by the knowledge that Jean was there, was wearing the feral down, until finally Logan forced it back into a cage that he had been trapped in. But now Logan had the key to focus that rage and anger and use it against anyone or anything that would try to harm Jean, or any of the others.)
Red hit the floor trying to pull herself back. Something was calling her. Her eyes flashed red once more. She felt the rage of the feral that Logan had once become.
Standing to her feet she left without a word. She heard the words of Cerebro to stay. And heard wolf-gang yelling. But she had to find out on her own. She felt as if wolverine, her father was calling her to follow him.
She moved quickly down the hall and out of the manison.

cerebro watched red tear out of his office and silently cursed himself for not anticpating this sooner. wolverine was her blood father and it was natural that she would pick up psychic echoes he had left here over time.
turning to look behind him he saw wolfgang go into full lupine mood ready to give chase. "no!" cerebro said putting his hand out to keep his friend and teammate at bay, "stay here and defend the childern. as soon as the x-men return quickly brief them as to what is happening and have them ready if i cant calm red down."
with that he ran in the direction she had gone. few minutes later he found her in the mansion courtyard hovering above everyone, surrounded by a flame aura that had an odd shape. blinking cerebro could see the phoenix shape that was part of it but there was more to it. three pinons on each wing were longer and sharper looking then the rest of the "feathers".
"red!" cerebro shouted trying to be heard over the roar of an inferno that burned nothing. yet. she either didnt hear him or she was ignoreing him.
so he tried a differnet approach and used his telepathic powers to enter his mind, "red! please your going to hurt the others."
her response quiclkly made cerebro wish he never tried this.
