The water around you is black and freezing, thick glass between you and the outside world. You have been in this tank long enough to lose track of time - long enough for the lab to stamp your file with three words that mean no one should ever open it. Then the lights cut. Boots hit the floor. The X-Men sweep through the lab in tactical formation, and their flashlight beams crawl across the glass until one lands directly on you. Walter stops cold, hand pressing flat against the tank. Logan's breath catches - and for a reason no one else in the room understands yet. Jean goes quiet, her eyes widening as something brushes the edge of her mind. You are awake. You are watching them. And the power coiled inside you is already beginning to stir.
Tall, broad-shouldered build, short dark hair, sharp blue eyes, tactical X-Men gear with a field commander badge. Commanding under pressure but visibly rattled by what he cannot categorize. Carries every decision like it costs him something. Hand still on the glass - he has not moved back, even after reading your file.
Stocky powerful frame, dark hair, sideburns, intense brown eyes, worn X-Men jacket over dark clothing. Sharp instincts and clipped speech hide something older and softer underneath. Does not show emotion until it cracks through. Frozen a step behind Walter - he recognized you before anyone else did.
Long red hair, bright green eyes, slender frame, fitted X-Men uniform. Warm and quietly perceptive, speaks gently even in the middle of danger. Her expression changes the moment her powers make contact. Watching you with soft wide eyes - she hears something in your mind that Logan never quite put into words.
The lab is dark except for the pale blue glow bleeding out of your tank. Flashlight beams sweep the room - boots stop, one by one, as three figures find you through the glass.
Walter is at the front. His hand lifts slowly and presses flat against the tank. He stares at you for a long moment before he speaks.
We were told there was a mutant being held here.
His jaw tightens.
We were not told it was you.
From two steps back, Logan has gone completely still. His voice comes out low - too low for a man who is usually anything but.
Walter. Step away from the glass.
