"You've never heard of London?" Door says amazed. He really didn't remember much...did he. She knew he didn't know anything about his past...but...she felt terrible.
"It's a city...a large city across the Atlantic from here. It's magical. But dark, and scary too. Here..." she drew a small door in the wall - the size of a cubby hole, and it opened into the closet in Door's room. She pulled out some pictures, and a map of the London underground. "Here you go. I lived most of the time underground...but still..."
Door had the power to open people, as well as objects. Maybe she could have a good impact on Jack.

Jack stared at the pictures. At first he noticed nothing in particular. Then he looked at the map and blinked. He'd seen this before. On a wall... Images flashed through Jack's head...
...lights flashing by. Tunnels. They were taking him somewhere. Where? And why?Jack would never know. He collapsed, unconcious. (OOC: I know the pix are on random words, but I had to add them, it's more dramatic  Of course, the images in his head are moving, and blurry, but you can imagine.) |

Door rushed to Jack and held him. Please let her powers work now... she sensed that he was all right, and she waited anxiously for him to awake.

Jack opened his eyes. Everything was warped. Twisted, the color shifted. He blinked and stared up at Door. He tried to get up. "I can't... move. Please... get Logan." Logan was the only one here he really trusted. He felt paralyzed, and he didn't want anyone else near him while he was vulnerable. Already, some force of his mind was keeping Door from coming too close to him.

Door drew a door and quickly ran out. She came back a moment later with Logan.

Logan had been stopped in the hall by one of the students, whose name escaped him. He was pulled through a door he swore wasn't there before, and into one of the dorm rooms. He sw Jack lying on the floor, motionless, but breathing and looking concious. He immediately knelt by him. "Get Jean Grey." He said to the girl. "Jack? Can you hear me? What happened, kid?"

Jean could sense that Logan needed her. She came down the hall just in time to see Logan and Door duck through a door, she darted in after them, quickly before the passageway shut. The children were dirty, they had oubiously been a tunnel somewhere. "What happened?"

"I have no clue." Logan muttered. He turned to Door. "What happened to him? Did you see anything?" He looked at Jack, who seemed surprisingly calm for having blacked out and been paralyzed. "You ok, kid? Can you hear me?"

Jean ran over and held Jack's head. "He's all right, he just had a flash back. Logan, I think we need to get to the bottom of Jack's past - not knowing is proving dangerous for him."

"I..." Jack blinked up at her. "I'm ok... The train... the train." He closed his eyes and tried to move. He managed to sit up, but his head was spinning. "I'll be fine." He avoided Jean Grey's eyes, hoping if he did, she wouldn't know how he really felt. Frightened, miserable, angry. He hated this. All of it. He didn't want to know his past. He just wanted to make a new life. Maybe that's why he'd forgotten his old one. He had to start over, and that was the only way.
(OOC: Just thought I'd add, I'm listening to "What is Love" by Haddaway - Pepsi song =P and I find it very inspiring. ^_^)

Logan nodded. Jean was right, and he could tell just from the air around him that Jack was NOT ok. "We should take him to the infirmiry. You can make sure he isn't hurt." He lifted Jack in his arms and waited for Jean Grey to lead the way. He wanted to discuss their options, but not in front of the kid. He hoped she'd read his mind and know he wanted to talk alone.

"I think Door can handle it" said Jean. "She'll probably be faster too." She watched Door create a door, and take Jack directly to the infermery. "What did you want to talk about?"

Logan was thoughtful for a second, wondering if she'd agree with him. "Jean. You know sometimes I go away for a while, to see if anything turns up about my past?" He chose his words carefully. "Maybe next time I leave, Jack should come, too. Maybe being here isn't helpping him at all. Maybe we both need breaks."

"Well, I don't agree with the last part, but I think it would be an excellent idea for him to go with you. To be honest, I'm actually glad you suggested it. I'd been wanting to mention the idea to you..."

"Good." He nodded. "I was planning to leave for a few days the week after next. I'll take him with me. With any luck, we'll find something." He added. "But I need to borrow one of the cars."

Of course, the images in his head are moving, and blurry, but you can imagine.)
