9:15 PM, Tuesday. 

My first mission and I already hate it. The professor sent me, Rogue, and Wolverine down in some coal mining facility to find the missing mutants, rumor was they were hiding here. We've been walking for over an hour, my feet hurt and it smells like piss, fresh piss that burns the hairs out of your nostrils. 

ME: Yo, Logan, let's just head back. My feet are getting sore. 

LOGAN: Shut it. I'm onto a scent.

ME: Is it piss? Because that's the only scent here.

Rogue laughs a little.

ROGUE: Oh you hush, Yankee. It ain't that bad. 

ME: I'm serious, it fucking smells in here. 

ROGUE: Shouldn't you be used to this? You are from New York city after all, sugah. 

ME: Manhattan could never smell this bad. 

Logan stops in front of me, then he looks around anxiously. 

ROGUE: What is it--

LOGAN: Shhh. 

ROGUE: Don't shush me.

LOGAN: Move!

Logan shoves me out of the way just as some guy comes crashing down above us. 

GUY: Stay away from me!

A shockwave shoots out of the guy's hand, knocking Rogue into Logan. A fly at the guy, punching him in his jaw, something that usually works but not today. He clocks me in my chest and I feel all the air leave my lungs for a second. 

ME: Fuck-augh!

Logan gets his claws out and spear tackles the guy. Rogue comes to my aid, picking me up a little. 

ROGUE: Oh shake it off, tough guy. 

I laughed. 

ME: You let him punch you and we'll see if you just "shake it off." Holy shit, he hits hard. 

ROGUE: I've taken harder hits than that, sugah. 

I struggle back onto my feet

I struggle back onto my feet. We watch as Logan gets his ass handed to him by the guy. 

ME: Maybe we can get it if we rush him at the same time.

ROGUE: Good idea, you take left.

I jump onto the left wall, Rogue takes the right, then we fly at the mutant at the same time. Our fists make contact with his face and he's sent hurling deeper into the cave. Wolverine gets up and runs after him. 

ROGUE: This little bastard jus' don' know when to quit. 

ME: Yeah, maybe Logan will finally have someone to relate to.
