White Noise /// Wolverine

IX /// I Still Remember

 Jean and Scott cackle about a joke you'd made, you grin. Their younger selves enjoying a day out beside the lake. Another figure just smiles, sitting beside you. A bright idea pops into your head, a grin on your face.

"Hey, who wants to go to the old forest?"

Everyone's face drops, and you can tell they don't particularly enjoy the prospect.

"It's dangerous, the hunters-"

"You don't think we can take a couple of hunters?"

They all look between one another before you stand, walking away.

"Fine, I'll go on my own then."

You start to walk away, but a figure catches up, smiling at you.

"I can't let you have all the fun to yourself now can I?"

He offers you his hand, and you accept it. It was fully gloved, in fact most of his skin was covered by some sort of clothing.

"We should do this more often."

"Yeah," You grin, squeezing his hand a little as you walk into the forest. Jean and Scott rushing up to you both in glee and giddiness. "I'd like that quite a bit."

"Ash! Y/n! Hey, wait up!"

Your eyes flicker open for a brief moment, spotting a man with eyes trained on you, you could feel your breath gaping. Your head killing you.

Hang in there Y/n.

"As your training today, we will pit you against one another to test the extent of your abilities. What you can do and what you cannot do."

"Midas, Thanatos. You will be paired with one another. Jean, Cyclops. You with one other. Do not hold back your abilities on one another."

The training starts, and you begin to dodge every attack Peter throws your way. He wasn't much different from your new companion now. But he had a softer smile, less rugged edges. He was kind to his own detriment.

He kicks your legs out from underneath you eventually, making you fall to the ground, placing a foot firmly on your chest so you're unable to squirm away. You give him a smirk and a wink, making him laugh as the small gashes you had obtained from the golden knives he kept with him on missions healed.

"Midas," Professor Xavier's voice echoes over the intercom. "We will not know the extent of your abilities until you touch Y/n."

Peter looks up, eyes sparkling in the light as he sheaths his knives. Letting you get up. His brows set defiantly in a stern look.

"I'll kill them."

"We can also test Y/n's abilities, can they recover from something so fatal."

He shakes his head again, and you feel your mouth unable to move to stand up for yourself. You can't move any part of your body, and you feel your lips and body move of its own accord.

"It's-"

alright.

You can hear the Professor's voice in your mind, speaking to Peter through you.

"I-"

Want to know.

Peter looks into your eyes, and despite wanting to give him some sort of sign that it wasn't you, he didn't seem to notice a thing. You can feel your heart hammering in your chest, screaming loudly. It didn't want to stop beating.
