Her hair was tangled with twigs as she walked threw the park. She got looks from every one around her. 'Why are they looking at me that way?' She wondered to herself. Soon the looks got to her as she thought to herself ' thats enough' As she flew into the trees. The people around looked at the falling leaves that floated to the ground where Laura was just a second ago. And In the trees laura also known as X 23 in some circles. was flying threw the trees. 'Why am i here? For Wolverine? No i can handle myself i am better off by myself alone and no one can change that.' laura told herself as she jumped up into a higher branch. The feeling of being out there and being alone suited her, however she could not day that she never wished had a normal life. And that she wasn't a weapon used to kill and never be treated like a normal person. Laura sighed and let her mind wonder while she sat on branch closest to the top of the tree.

Logan stopped and turned off the engine of his bike. He go off his bike, thinking of the two gang members he had over heard in the bar, the other night. One was telling the other about being in the park and finding a girl that was living in the trees. Logan had tried to put it out of his mind, but that story and the decline of violence in the park meant something was going on. He figured it was worth checking out might be a new mutant that needed help, but something told Logan it was more. He entered the park sniffing about as he went.
He ignored the looks of the people around him. He had got used to the odd looks he got from everyone by now. He could sence the lingering scent of the gang member that had been here. An something else a scent both formilier and strange. A scent from his past that he couldn't put his finger on.

Gambit was out and about and saw Logan riding to the park and decided to follow, being bored himself... He got to the park and watched as Wolverine sniffed around, he could tell that Logan had caught the scent of something and figured he would check it out with him, even though he knew Logan would rather do it alone....
As he walked up behind Logan with staff in hand, Remy replied, "so whatcha caught de scent of dis time mon ami? Y a not gettin inta any trouble without meh now are ya....?"

Laura sighed as she was till up in the trees her brown hair still had twigs in it and at the moment she was trying to get them out. "Ow." She said as one pulled some hair out. Laura breathed in deeply and then her eyes widened. "Wolverine." She said in a whisper. The scent lingered with her as she crawled over to a branch that was close to the edge of the tree. She saw them both of them. wolverine the person she was cloned after. She was soon filled with rage. "why." She growled as she watched him sniff around. "heh" She said under her breath. There was another person with him. His scent of was of fire and something she couldn't place her nose on. laura growled as she watched them. 'Should I show myself?' laura thought to herself.

Logan heard Gambit's footsteps long before the former thief even spoke. Suppressing a growl he stopped and turned to look at him. "Cajun I was in the bar last night and over heard talk of a wild girl here in the park. Figured she might be a new mutant so thought it was worth checking out." Logan fell silent, he wasn't sure if he should tell the rest he knew this girl, or at least had caught her scent somewhere. "Theres something else Cajun I feel I should know her.
"Her scent's way to familiar I..." He had trouble bringing out the rest cause it was so impossible. "Cajun I think she's family." As Laura moved to get closer up in her tree, Logan caught the sound, but not thinking of her heightened hearing spoke softly. As he moved closer to the tree Laura was in. "Cajun were not alone keep a few steps back don't want to spook her."
He then put his back to the tree and settled in a somewhat relaxed stance. Lighting his cigar and clinching it between his teeth before speaking. "I know your up there kid, but I'm not here to fight. From your scent I'm guessing we got some things in common." He reached up and took the cigar from his mouth and blew out smoke. That would rise and Laura would catch the scent of smoke and the slight scent of fresh strawberries in the tobacco.
"Why not come on down and we can talk or fight it's totally up to you darlin?"

As Gambit started getting closer, he could tell Logan was tracking something or someone. After looking around and listening to Logan, all he could say was, "Family? Ah thought you didn't have any family Logan.... and the idea of two of ya seems ta scare meh a bit..."
After they both moved toward the tree, Gambit himself noticed a little rustling and stayed back a few steps to not spook this person, just as Logan had requested. He stayed ready with a card in hand uncharged and spoke softly to Logan, "Ya sure 'bout dis? If dis person is anything like ya were when you first emerged den weh could be in for quite a fight..." He then turned his attention toward the tree

Laura growled at the knowledge that this Wolverine had. She jumped out of the tree her claws unsheathed. Her Hand claws or so she called them mirrored the sun's rays, as well as the claws that were attached to her feet. It odd being the open. This place seemed secluded as the 'Cajun' if laura heard correct and this wolverine fellow scared them off.
Laura came up close to Wolverine. "Why do you think we are family. So what, our scent its somewhat the same that could be because well." Laura growled as she placed a cold claw next to wolverine's cheek. She sighed as she drooped her hand. "Don't think I didn't see that 'Cajun'." Laura said as she watched him threw the corner of her eye. She couldn't let her guard down. Never again will she.
"So what do you want with me. " Laura said as she got her attention back to wolverine. "Soo." She said as she was getting impatient.

Logan didn't even flinch at the claws except for a quick bit of surprise on seeing them. "Well darlin putting our similar scent aside there are these." He brought his fist up just under Laura's chin and released all three of his own claws. They came up so close to her face that the middle claw touched her nose. "Now if you don't mind get the pig sticker off my cheek it's cold. Unless you want to test both of our healing factors too?"
He of course was only guessing the girl must have a healing factor too. "Sure we could tear each other up for hours, but we both know it's going to be a waste of time. I'm just here to offer you a place to stay, that can't be any worse then out here and might even be better, once you get used to it." He looked to Remy and smirked, "an don't worry about the Cajun there. His harmless long as he keeps his cards in his pocket."

Gambit laughed a little..."Harmless.... dats funny mon ami''. As long as ah don't get my lil hands on those nice claws of yours and blow your skeletons out of your bodies.... ah am perfectly harmless...."
He then stepped back, put his card away and leaned heavily on his staff, "dis seems like a family discussion, so ah am gonna stay back 'ere, but if dis 'ere female mini Logan decides to go all berserk on us, ah can't be blamed for blowing her up...." he smiled

Laura sighed. "A better place eh?" She said questionably. "I think i can handle myself out here on my own." She glared at this Wolverine fellow in front of her. 'A new place well couldn't hurt maybe it will be a new adventure something i can remember.' Laura thought to herself as she looked at wolverine.
"So a new place, Sure I'll go and see it but why would you wanna help e?" Laura said as she backed away fro his claws, they were much like hers however three instead of two and he didn't have them on his feet also only her. "Oh and Cajun. My skeleton isn't bonded like his." Laura said as she thumbed Wolverine. "I am the improved version. I would say."

Logan chuckled a bit at Gambit or Remy as was his true name. "Cajun doing that might take care of us for a day or so, but we would heal sooner or later." He turned looking to Laura listening to her. "Darlin I would keep that to yourself as need to know information. An usually only you need to know it, but I can see the benefit of it your far lighter without it I'm sure." He looked out at the entrance of the park remembering he had rode his motorcycle here. He turned back to Laura remembering her question as to why he would want to help her.
"Well first of all it's what we do as X-Men help mutants to be safe and learn about there powers. Not to mention that your the closest thing to real family that I have." He looked back off at his bike trying to figure out how to get Laura to the mansion. "I guess I'll have a car sent for you here if you don't want to ride on the back of my bike." He then realized he had yet to ask what Laura went by. "So what did they call you or what do you go by now?"

Laura sighed, "They used to call me X 23 but my mother named me laure before she died." Laura looked down she really loved her mother she was the only one who looked after her. She then looked at wolverine's bike. "I have riden on those before." She said, "I can do it again." she said as she looked at wolverine's bike.

Dis is gonna be very interesting ah tell ya... But, ah guess it is the best idea ta bring her back to the school."
Remy started to look around and noticed that it still seemed a little quiet and no one was around... turning to Laura "well ya nevah know cher'... ya might like the school"

Laura looked at the Cajun before her. "Hmm. Maybe," She said as she looked at the Cajun before. Her, "hay, I don't know your name." She paused, "Mind tellin meh?" She said her rough way of talking was laced in her words. She was don't you forget a child of the woods raised to fight and be a weapon. Human action however was never really taught. "Mine is Laura, But you already know that." Her words were lost as she never talked to people other then the doc and her mother. Laura dound the ground soo much more interesting at the moment and diverted her eyes from the Cajun before her.

Logan listened to Remy starting with his lover boy routine. "Cajun don't even start trying to play her. She's like my sister and if your not careful..." He didn't bother finishing. "So Laura you have any stuff somewhere or are you ready to go straight to the school?"
