Nathan's dialogue

Two days passed since Logan and Xavier left to find someone that could help defeat Stryker so we could live a peaceful life but what once a perfect day turned deadly as Stryker's men silently snuck inside the mansion and killed those who ran or fought back, only a handful of us managed to escape with Rogue's help.

We made it to an underground bunker where we hid but just when we were settling down for the night, we had no choice but to return to the mansion after we thought the cost was clear. Rogue and I made sure they were gone before the others come back inside but the wreckage was painful to see, numerous kids laid lifeless where they had fallen after trying to escape. I watched as Lauryn slowly walked inside with the remaining surviving children and just as she made sure the last living child was accounted for I seen her child laying on the floor among the other dead children. I watched as she knelt down and gently picked her up and began sobbing loudly while Rogue comforted her.

Rogue: I'm so sorry Lauryn.

I watched as she slowly walked away with her dead daughter and headed to a spot outside where she buried her infant girl and I stood watch while she quietly pushed the dirt back into the hole she dug.

Nathan: we should head back inside Lauryn, Stryker's men could still be watching the area.

I watched as she walked back inside without saying a word to me and headed to her room, I knew she would probably wanted to be left alone so I went to my room and tried getting some sleep.
