Nightmares and Recovery

VII

A/N: Hello! Just let you all know that I will be updating this book every Tuesday.

Natasha POV

I slept really good.

In my own bed.

Sometimes I forget what it's like to sleep in a bed.

I groaned as I stretched my arms and legs. Turning around I noticed the couch was emptied.

The man-well Logan must have left me.

I hope not forever.

Knock. Knock.

A sharp knock on the door brought me out my thoughts.

Then it dawned on me...Should I say something? Will I......will I get into trouble?

No...these are nice people. Surely, they wouldn't do that.

"Come....in..." I spoke. My voice was hesitant.

The door opened revealing three-no wait- four people. The women from the other day, Logan, and the man in the wheel-thingy.

"Good Morning, Miss Romanov. My name is Charles Xavier." The man introduced stretching out his hand towards me.

That gesture again. How do I??

I glanced at Logan who waved his hand up and down sideways.

Ah, a handshake right....

I slowly stretched out my hand towards Mr. Xavier grasping his hand in mine. Mr. Xavier just smiled while I looked away from his stare.

"I think it is best that I introduced you to the women who saved your life. This is Ororo Munroe on my left. And this is Dr. Jean Grey on my right." Mr. Xavier said.

I watched as the women either gave me nod or a smile.

"You can call me 'Ro if you like. I don't mind." She said to me.

"Professor...you said you needed me?" A new voice spoke aloud in the quiet room.

Mr. Xavier wheeled around to the person's voice. I see Logan narrowing his eyes at the person who entered the room to stand beside Jean Grey.

"I would like you to meet Scott Summers." Mr. Xavier said.

"Hi..." He said reaching his hand out to me. I shook it slowly.

I noticed Logan was staring at me. I quickly took my hand from the man's hand.

"My dear, I know you have been a lot these past two years. You can stay here as long as you like." Mr. Xavier told me.
 

Two years ago....that's right. I have forgotten all about that. He wouldn't allow me to go anywhere but the kitchen and my room. Wait is the day exactly?

"Professor, I am afraid that we must show our new guest around the school." The man-Scott- suggested. 

Mr. Xavier smiled at his request looking at me. 

"Y-yes I would like that....please." I said shifting my leg onto my other leg. 

"Good, I can show now if you like?" This time Logan spoke up. When I look into his eyes, it feels like I know him from somewhere. 

"Right, well. I 'll leave you to it Logan. Ororo and Jean will assist you." Mr. Xavier said, leaving my room along with Scott. 

Soon everyone left but when Logan turned I called out to him. 

"Logan....can you um...stay until I get ready for the tour?" I asked. 

He smirked but conceded as he closed the door. 

Once I finished getting ready, I wore black long sleeves turtleneck with maroon jeans and red crocs. 

I opened the door, nearly jumped when I bumped into Logan's chest. I removed myself form him suppressing a blush. 

He seemed to notice my blush as he stretched out his hand. 

I flinched thinking he was going to hit me. "I'm sorry. " I muttered. 

He took his hand into mine very slowly before bending down to where he could see my face.

"Hey...you are okay and you're doing a great job, okay? Just take baby steps and you can ask me all the questions you have. I won't hurt you, Nat." He spoke in a gentle way. 

"Nat.....a friend used to call me that as a nickname for me." I remembered. 

I heard Logan hummed at my statement. 

"Ready to go?" He asked. 

I nodded before replying, "Yes, I'm ready." 

A/N: Whew. All done with this chapter. 

Awwww, Natasha is slowly warming up to the X-Men especially to Logan. 

Also, do YOU know who's Nat's Friend is? Please comment the friend's name and I'll post the name in the surprise chapter in the book.

Well I hope you all enjoyed it! Keep a lookout for the next chapter on Tuesday!!
