"He what?" Logan stared in disbelief. What were the odds? Logan shook his head. "Aw, Jack... You poor kid." He tousseled Jack's hair, lost for words. He only knew snippets of his own traumatizing manipulation, and he was haunted by it. How could a kid deal with this? The way Jack looked, he wasn't dealing with it at all. "He's falling apart, Xavier. What're we gonna do?"

"I was going to ask you, actually. You're the one who's been through this. WHat do you think?"
"I don't want him going on a revenge spree" said Charles to Logan's mind.

"Jack." Logan put a hand on Jack's shoulder. "Do you wanna talk about this? I've been through what you have, and maybe it's better to say something." He knew what Professor X said was true. Jack could snap, and there'd be nothing to stop him.

Jack shook his head. "I wanna go to bed. Please... Can I please just go to sleep?"

"I think it's important that you talk to Logan Jack..."

"Jack." Logan tried to assure him. "You're safe here. I know what you're going through, and you can tell me." Logan knew from what little he'd gleaned of his past that he'd rather not know. And telling someone else about it only made it more real, and more inescapable. More frightening. Jack wasn't going to say a word without a fight, because he was fighting to forget.

Jack shut his eyes as tight as he could and shook his head. "I don't want to talk about it." He said it curtly, almost angrily.

Pearl burst into the lab, panting, tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She knew she wasn't supposed to barge in like this, but it was an emergency. Why was this day filled with them? "Luke--kissed Dream--ran away--" gasping breaths of tears broke her words, but she hoped they made enough sense that someone would go after him, save him. She didn't care if Dream died anymore. She just wanted Luke to be ok.

The Professor instantly closed his eyes and called to Logan. "Logan! We need your help! You need to find Luke. Dream's life is in danger."
Charles wheeled over to Pearl. "It'll be all right. What exactly happened?"

"Dream decided she liked Luke, and I liked Luke. And he was completely oblivious to all of it!" She wheezed, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Then Dream got upset at me because she knew I liked him. So Luke go upset because Dream got upset, and then he and I talked about it. He said he had no idea we had any idea that either of us liked him, and that he didn't know what he wanted or if he wanted. Then he went to talk to Dream--" she clenched her fist. "So he did, and i followed him. Then he kissed her...then saw me..then ran off. She's at the bottom of the fountain, and I don't know where he went." 'and for all I care she can drown in that fountain...' Pearl though, sneering, tears starting to slow.

Charles grabbed her hand. Oubviously he had heard her thoughts, and didn't like what he had heard. "Pearl, I'm not sure if I believe everything you just said." He said to her. He thought to her "so, this is all Dream's fault? You don't care if she dies?"
THen he said out loud "How much do you REALLY like this boy Pearl? Or do you even know yourself yet?" He had a suspecion she didn't.
"Take me to Dream RIGHT NOW"

She had meant it. There was more of her mother in her than anyone was willing to admit. She did like Luke, and perhaps she had convinced herself she liked him far more than she did. To Pearl, in this moment, he was her world, but that could change. Today he was what she wanted more than anything, what could make her happy, and stable. She had fallen for someone she barely knew. She glared at Professor X and guided him to the fountain.

"I'm on it." Logan stood up and headed for the door right after Pearl and Xavier left. He turned to Jack. "Go to your room, Jack, and we'll talk when I come back."

"Wait!" Jack jumped and caught Logan's sleeve. "Let me go with you."

"No, Jack." He shook his head. "It's too dangerous. This kid is freaking out. You might get hurt."
