The Long Road (Scott Summers X Male Reader)

Ch 23. Wolverine's History

In the garage of the mansion, Logan is checking out Y/N's car, with the boy next to him. With the hood open, Logan is checking everything if anything is alright. While checking on it, Y/N and Logan are chatting about what happened yesterday.

"I really don't understand you kids." Logan groans. "Always acting weird and keeping secrets." He says while checking up.

"To be fair, if you were in their shoes, you would probably act the same." Y/N says, defending his friends.

"I prefer that they stop keeping secrets and just tell somebody about it." Logan responds. "First Scott, now Rogue and Kurt."

Y/N looks curiously at Logan. "Scott?"

Logan regrets saying Scott out loud. "Forget what I said." He responds. Out of nowhere, Logan got a flashback he got a lot the past few days, seeing himself in a tank.

Y/N grows worried when he hears Logan panting heavily and not responding to his question. "Uncle Logan?" Y/N grabs Logan by the shoulder.

Logan straightens up and blink a few times while looking at Y/N. His mind slowly going back at to reality. "Y/N...?"

"Uncle Logan, are you okay?" Y/N asks, seeing Logan out of breath.

Logan is struggling to say even a single word. "I need a break." He turns around and takes a seat on a wooden chair that against the wall.

Y/N walks over to Logan. On a table next to Logan is a bottle of water, which Y/N grabs and gives to Logan, who accepts it. Logan takes multiple sips of the water until the bottle is half full. Y/N leans against the table while looking at Logan. "Uncle?"

Logan looks back at Y/N. "You don't need to worry about me, kid. I'm fine."

Y/N doesn't believe it. "Didn't you just say about telling somebody of their problems instead of keeping secrets?"

Logan let out a tired chuckle. "I wish I didn't said that. But beside that, I already told your pops, so I'm not a hypocrite." Y/N doesn't look satisfied by Logan's responds, and he definitely notices the teenager's worry. "I'm not going into details, but I have these flashbacks from time to time. It's nothing big."

Y/N isn't convinced it isn't a big deal. "What about?"

"Just my past." Logan mutters. "That's all I'm giving." He let out a sigh and stand up. "I'm going to Chuck. We can work on your car later." He walks pass Y/N and towards the exit.

Y/N looks at Logan when he leaves. He knows he should respect Logan's wishes, but he knows he can help, even if it's doing something little.

Logan is back at the office of Charles, just being done with another rehabilitation session. Logan hates being reminded of his painful past, even though he knows it helps later on in live. Charles moves in front of Logan, since he is behind Logan to let his powers work. Logan is sitting on a chair, panting and sweating.

"I can feel your memories clearer." Charles informs Logan. "And now there is more than the tank."

Logan nods. "Yeah..." He remembers he escaped the tank, running in the cold without any clothes in the dark. Usual he sees only little things like the previous memories, but now he gets more detail thanks to Charles. He looks back at the person who helped him.

"You're thinking about visiting the place, aren't you?" Charles asks, though he knows the answer.

Logan nods. "I think I know where it is, and maybe I discover something that I have forgotten."
