The New Recruit

Charles looked like he was deep in thought. Scott had explained what happened on the mission earlier today. He knew that Raven must be ashamed of herself. He closed his eyes and concentrated on her. He felt the emotions she was trying to block. It was anguish. She was so confused and disapointed. Charles dismissed Scott and opened a telepathic link with Raven.

"Raven tell me what happened today," the professor said in a soft and gentle tone.

"I relived a long forgetten memory I think," Raven answered in a monotone.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"I'm pretty sure," she answered.

"Did you reconize anything?" he hoped that she had answers.

"No," it was but a whisper.

Charles noticed the stones that decorated the lawn outside his window were floating.

"It felt like a part of me was awakened," Raven spoke as the stones fell back in their place.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"After I remembered the vision, and I lost control, it felt like another part of was awakened and took control. I don't know how to explain it," Raven explained.

"Get some sleep. We will find the answers soon," the professor stated as he closed the mental link.

Raven couldn't sleep. Evertime she closed her eyes, she would see that memory. It haunted her. She finally remembered something of her past, but this memory only left her with more questions than answers. She got out of bed. Jean was fast asleep (they share a room!!!!). She quietly exited and headed downstairs.

"Going anywhere kid?" Logan asked.

He was hidden in one of the corners of the foyer. He was covered in the shadows of the night. Raven cursed herself, and turned herself around to face him.

"What are you doing up?" Raven asked.

"I could ask you the same thing," Logan replied.

Raven rolled her eyes.

"I'm going for some fresh air if you must know," Raven answered.

"Really," Logan responded with his eyebrows raised.

"Yes," she said.

Logan uncrossed his arms and pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on. He walked over to Raven.

"Have a nice walk," he said before walking away and heading upstairs.

Raven walked outside and headed for the gardens. It was a clear night, and the stars were visible. She headed for the fountain and lied down on the edge, looking up at the stars. She was so confused. Was she evil? When she attacked that mutant, it felt natural. Like it was an instict. The question that plagued her mind the most was who was the person with four eyes that she was so afraid of?

A/N: I know such a short chapter, but I will update again soon. Probably tomorrow. Thanks for all the reviews so far!
