Mia grinned gleefully. Mac's mind was easier to get into. More open. Mia poeked and around and found a small pocket of grief and sorrow. She lured it to the foreground and made room for it to take center stage. She made it expand until it made all the other emotions subside. It was the only way she knew to do it. Once she was out of his mind Macs eyes were watering and he wiped a tear that fell. Suddenly he was reminded of sad memories old and new.
"Told you! You're just good at keeping composure!" She said as she pointed at him.

Mac began to tear up ad ghe girl probed his mind. "Uh, ya wow, you're. Mutant alright," he said, "so Logan do you guys want to spend the night here then head out in the morning," Logan looked around and took in his surroundings. "Sure mac," he said, "souds great, come on Mia I'll show you you're room,"

[Juneau]

"Huh?"
She followed behind the men down the hall
They entered the small bedroom at the end of the hall it was like any other you would expect a simple color scheme and furtiture. It had been a while since Mia had layed in a normal brd and she eagerly hoped into it and swormed herself in the blankets.
"This is awesome!"
"Glad you like it." Mac said standing in the doorway. And while Mia was distracted cozying up he muttered to Logan just quiet enough for him to hear.
"So, I'm smugiling a kidnapped child right now aren't I?" He nearly chuckled.

[LastLfan]

"Actually i have no idea," logan whispered. He had never even though of that. He bit his lip out of realization of his stupidity and went in to the room and sat next to mia. "Hey, i'm glad you're happy kid. But won't your family worry about you?"

[Juneau]

Mac sighed. Typical Logan never thinking before acting. Did he even get the okay from Charles?
"Um... well they know what i am and when they found out. I got scared. They dont want me anyway. I heard my mom say it..." she stoped and got very quiet. She was going to get brought back wasn't she? She crossed her fingers that wouldn't be the case.
"Like I thought. Now, give me one good reason why i should not report this." He crossed his arms and looked down at Logan as if he was some child as well.

[LastLfan]

Logan started kicking himself out of stupidity at this point. "Look Mac," he said, "you know as well as I do that she'd be better off with Charles than out on the street. If you wiuldn't turn me in why would you turn her in?" Mac sighed again, Logan was right. Mac had first met Logan after he had escaped from Weapon X. Mac had nursed him back to health and then logan joined alpha flight for a while. Only makes sense that logan would expect safety here. "Alright, fine, but just tonight, then we set out. Come on Logan you know where your sleeping I assume?" "Ah mac, you know how i just love sleeping on your couch," logan said as he got up to turn out the light, "good night mia,"

[Juneau]

"Night.." she responded still a bit confused as to what tomorrow would bring. For now though, with the lights off and the warmth of blankets sleep overrode any worry that dared to keep her up.

She woke up early morning to a nightmare. I wasn't anything knew to her but waking up in cold sweat and legs twitching never got any easier. The house, or at least her room is still dark. She could hear snoring in the room across her own and assumed ever one was still asleep. She snuck out quietly and went to the kitchen. It was hard to navigate in the darkness but she managed. She found and apple on the counter and bit into it slowly hoping no one would hear her; she wasn't the best at keeping quiet.

[LastLfan]

After leaving the room Logan and Mac went back downstairs. "So Mac, do you really think Narya will help?" "Of course logan," Mac responded, "she'll get you across the border no problem," "so she's not still mad at you about the whole killing her thing?" Logan asked jokingly but noriced the grim expression on his friend's face he retracted the statement. "Well man," logan said,"it's been a long day for all of us, i'm gonna hit the hay," and with that Logan went to sleep.

When Mia went into the kitchen Logan sat straight up on the couch, claws out in a cold sweat. He turned around and saw Mia in the kitchen biting into an apple. He retracted his claws and looked over at the clock, "goddamnit mia it's 4:30 in the morning what are you doing," he said rubbing his eyes, and atill shaking from the nightmare.

[Juneau]

"Eating." She said assuming it was obvious. "What are you so scared about?"
She asked her mouth full of apple. She tip toed over to the living room and sat on the love seat. "When are we going? To New York I mean." She remembered the night before, what had him and Mac talked about anyway? She bit into the apple again and decided reading his emotions would answer her questions better than words.

(Agh short sorry!)

[LastLfan]

"Uh, nothing, just a dream," he said "damn," he thought, "was it really that obvious," he lookef back at her and said, "we'll leave in the morning, as in daytime, as in its 4:30 go to bed! Anyway We're going to meet up with a friend of mine who can take us to the border. We'll be on our own from there," looking at Mia he could tell there was something wrong, she seemed a little spooked. "Could just be my claws frightened her," he thought. "You know, Mia," he said hesitantly, "i wasn't completely truthful earlier, it was less of a dream and more of a nightmare. It's one I have a lot. What about you, you seem a little shaken up, are you okay?"

[Juneau]

She nodded"Nightmare. Im pretty sure its over now though. The fear follows for a while." She curled her legs to her chest and sat there observing him. Twice she almost said something but stopped to reword it. "Doesnt it hurt? Using your claws? How come you dont bleed and stuff?"

[LastLfan]

Logan sighed, knowing he would have to explain the whole story behind his claws, and that was one wound of his that would never heal, so he took a deep breath and began, "i have healing abilities. That's my mutation, not my claws. A long time ago there were some people who wantes to turn me into a weapon, so since I was able to heal so fast, they cut me open and attached this stuff called adamantium to my skeleton. That's what my claws are. When I escaped from the weapon X facility I was kept at, Mac found me, he took care of me, kept me alive, I owe him my life. My nightmare was about about those long nights at weapon X," he breathed realizing he might have only scared the poor kid more, "well I told you mine," he said, "you wanna tell me yours?"

[Juneau]

"Fish mostly. I never liked them. Spiney and
all. They're just creepy. In the dream i was trapped under water because you wanted us to cross the great lakes but we sunk and i was caught by a school of fish." She finished her apple and began playing with the core. She shivered at a chill that went down her spine and spoke up again. "I dont even know why I'm scared. I should be happy right? It's gunna be all safe and sound. I thought about that before going to bed. It'll be like a brand new home." She smiled but it was more nervous than anything.

[LastLfan]

"Ya, it will be, I'm telling you Its a great place," he looked and saw she looked kinda uneasy, like she waa srill unsure about all this. "Look," he said, "I know this is all kinda crazy, but I promise, this school will do you a lot of good," he looked at the clock and sighed, "look, we have a really long day tommorow, so you should probably get your sleep. Do you want me to tuck you in or something?" He said feeling kind of bad for the little girl.

[Juneau]

She looked down the hall and then back at him. She nodded quickly, embarrassed a bit. She didnt want help, she didnt want to need it. Acting strong was easier. But it seemed she wouldnt have to be strong by herself anymore.

Morning came sooner than anticipated. Mac packed a drawstring bag with food, a first aid kit and a few bills. The kit wasnt for Logan. He knew well Logan could handle himself fine. But trouble had a way of following him and he just hoped the kid could keep up.

Mia walked into the kitchen shortly after he finished double checking the bag. "Morning!" She said with a big smile. Mac was Relieved to see that, after her rather sad expression when he bid her goodnight.

"Ready to go?"
"Yes sir!"

[LastLfan]

"Okay, then let's head out. Logan you ready?" Mac asked, Logan, still asleep on the sofa, shot up a middle claw and rolled over back to sleep. When the trio finally got up they all went over to the airport. They began walking through the Toronto airport and met a girl standing over off to the side. Logan went over and said to Mia, "I would like you to meet snowbird!"
