    I wake up in the lab and slowly sit up, looking around to see Logan sitting in a chair head in hands

"Good morning, afternoon or night" I ask causing him to look up

"Kid you're awake" he said smiling

"Yeah well you can't get rid of me that easy" I say "How long was I out?"

"2 days"

"We need to see the professor this was a huge flashback"

I told the professor and Logan everything I thought they needed to know, leaving out the conversation I thought I had heard. After I was finished the professor dismissed Logan but told me to stay. I sat back down and waited for the professor to speak

"What aren't you telling us Oliver"

"Nothing" I say

"You're lying"

"How can you tell?"

"I can read minds remember"

I curse myself for not putting up my barriers "I remembered something a conversation and I'm just about positive about something I don't want to believe"

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"Logan, it's Logan I'm almost positive that he's uncle James. Am I correct to say that Logan isn't his real name?

"Yes"

"That's not the real kicker, the conversation was between father and uncle James. They were talking about who's child I was because apparently they both dated my mother and have no idea which one is my real father"

Right after I was done relaying my story. I growled in pain and fell to the floor. My emotions had gone out of control lately and my claws kept coming out whenever they wanted. The pain was worse than when I could control them but I couldn't believe it happened in front of someone. Charles rolled around his desk as I slowly got to my feet.

"How long has this been going on?"

"About a week"

"You have to tell Logan"

"What?"

"You have to tell Logan everything about the conversation and the claws. It will do no good to keep things from him"

I leaned against the desk "I don't want to I mean, I don't want another father I already had two"

"He's the only one that can help you"

"I know but I'm not ready and I don't think he is either, what if he freaks out? What if I freak out?"

"Only one way to find out"

"Fine I'll tell him tonight but you have to come"

"Come to my office at 6pm and I'll tell Logan to met me at 6:10"

"Ok"

Time skip

I met the professor at the time we arranged but I was beginning to have second thoughts

"Look maybe we shouldn't do this" I say

"He has the right to know"

"But can't we wait till he gets his memory back so I don't have to tell him"

"Oliver" he says "We can't wait, you need his help"

"Geez, I hate asking people for help"

"That's because you've been alone for years"

"Still" I start but I was interrupted by the opening door

"Professor you called me" Logan says

"Yes Logan, please sit"

"We have to talk to you about something" The professor says and then Logan spots me

"What are you doing here kid?" he asks

"Nothing" I say walking towards the door "I was just leaving"

The doors slam shut by themselves and lock

"No you weren't Oliver, now sit" the professor order

I gulp and take the seat next to Logan

"So what is this about" Logan asks again

"Earlier when I told you about that flashback, there's something I left out"

"What was it?"

I nervously say what I said to the professor

"So you think I'm Uncle James"

"Look honestly I have no idea it's all blurred"

"Well there's only one option we'll have to find Victor"

"I see one problem with that" I cut in

"What?"

"We have no idea where he is"

"True but what else aren't you telling me"

"Um nothing it's nothing"

"Really kid"

"Ok fine, lately the flashbacks have being getting worse and the claws keep coming out for no reason and it's more painful than usual" I rush

"And you need to have control over it again, right?"

"Yes"

"Ok we'll talk about it in the morning but right now we should get to the bunker before it's pitch black"

Time skip

"I'm going to bed kid don't stay up too late" Logan says

"Yeah"

After he left I started thinking. Was I really ready to face my past? or was I going to run away. I pulled out the two vodka bottles that I hid earlier and drank the first one even though I couldn't get drunk it seemed to numb the pain. Without warning my claws popped out created three cuts on my forearm and I quickly downed the second bottle before falling unconscious on the couch.

I woke up to someone slapping my face

"What the hell" I moaned burying my head into the couch

"Oliver, why is there blood and two empty vodka bottles on the floor?" Logan asked

"Um" I said last night slowly returning to me, I look at my arm to see only faint bumps where the cuts were

"Well?"

"Well what does it look like? I tried to numb the memories and my claws came out"

"Oliver" Logan sighed "You've got to stop it doesn't help stop the memories I've tried it myself you'll only cause more damage"

"I have to confess something. I've"

"You've what?"

I took a deep breath "I've lost my memory twice, the second time it was Stryker who erased everything but the first time it was me."

"How'd you do it"

"It was a couple of weeks after my brother died I think. He was haunting my dreams and I had lost my cool after one of the soldier cracked a joke about him. I ended up injuring him pretty badly, I never stuck around to find out if he died or not. I knew I would be sentenced to death and part of me was quite happy about that so I don't even know why I ran maybe it was because I knew that it wouldn't kill me. Anyway I was now on the run and had ended up in New Orleans, while here I met this real dodgy doctor who said he could get rid of my bad memories. To be honest I still don't know why I did it but I took the needle and it didn't work it. It left all the bad memories there and got rid of everything else except my name.

"That's not the whole story, is it?"

"I don't want to talk about that"

"Come on kid, you've started you might as well finish it"

I took a deep gulp "I still don't remember much of what happened but I think I became suicidal, I couldn't stay in one place for long because the government was after me and nearly everything that could kill a normal person I tried. But nothing worked so I just carried on slowly growing weaker" I gulp again remembering the past and then continued" Just waiting for death but then I was caught at a bar somewhere, there was this chopper and a bunch of armed soldiers told me I was under arrest for killing someone. I was taken back to a bunker in LA's desert and my sentence was to be carried out at 10 hundred hours. They locked me in a small cell and when the time came they ties me to a stake and had a group of 15 men taking aim at me. I....

"You what?" Logan encouraged

"I remember smiling crazily at them as they pulled their triggers and 15 shots hit me at once, the force made me drop my head but I could hear them cheering about killing a monster and well when I looked back up, they were not happy they threw me back in cell and shackled me to the wall for two days, I think maybe more or less when the door opened and revealed two men one average height who I think was Stryker and one a lot more bigger and taller who I assumed was Victor, I growled at them then the smaller one spoke"
