Chapter 2-Getting a Name
*X23’s Dream*
They were back. I had been sitting in that damn white room, always by myself. They came in with that syringe filled with a sedative. I was ready for them as they headed toward me, my claws slid out quickly and I jumped at them. But suddenly an immense pain ripped through my body. I writhed on the floor, unable to make a sound from the pain. One of the soldiers headed through the door, laughing cruelly as he held his finger on the trigger of the taser gun that had hit me in the stomach.
The pain grew in intensity until I thought my head would explode from the agony. Every inch of my body was spasming on the floor, and as the agony jumped another level up, I felt my lunch come back up to splatter over the floor in front of me. I vaguely heard a voice from the door sigh in irritation. “Looks like something doesn’t appreciate what we give it, for its disobedience put it in the hole for a week. And for spilling its filth over the floor, don’t give it food or water in that time…” The voice trailed off as I felt the fog start to lift…
*End Dream*
Charles anticipated her move as she thrust the claws of her right hand toward the nearest person. He barely managed to stop her hand as she jerked awake, he felt the claws bite partially into the flesh between his fingers. “Its alright,” He murmured softly, squeezing her other hand gently. “You were having a dream, but you’re safe now.” X23 looked up at him, her eyes filled with fear and anguish before the tears slipped from her eyes to trail down her cheeks.
Carefully she pulled her hand away from his and retracted her claws, making sure to avoid looking at him. “Hey,” Charles said softly, reaching out to touch her face. She flinched slightly from his hand, causing him to sigh quietly. “Its alright, I promise to protect you.”
“You can’t protect me from the nightmares…” She whispered, wiping her tears away.
“I know I can’t, but I’ll be here to help you through them,” He placed his hand slowly on hers, smiling as she allowed the contact this time. “Everyone here will help you through what was done to you.” Finally she looked into his kind eyes, and offered a small smile.
“Thank you…I’ll do my best to not cause trouble.”
“I know you will.” They were silent for a while before X23 sat straighter on the bed, turning her hand over to gently squeeze the strong hand on hers. She pulled her hand away quickly but met his eyes again before she spoke.
“Why don’t you call me X23?” She asked quietly.
“Because,” Charles started, the warmth in his voice comforting her. “It isn’t a real name, everyone deserves one, especially you.” She blinked at him, tears falling down her face again. She reached out, tugging his arm slightly. Understanding her silent request, he pulled her into his arms, holding her gently as if she’d break.
“T-thank you!!” She sighed into his shoulder. “That…means a lot to me…”
“I know it does, you’ll have to think of a name you want to be called soon.” He stated, rubbing her back soothingly. X23 pulled back from him, settling back on the bed.
“I’ll have to think about it for a while.” She mused, then yawned widely.
“Why don’t you sleep for now, you’ve been through a lot and need your rest. Like Logan, you’re healing factor takes a lot out of you.” She nodded and curled up on her side, Charles reached out to stroke her cheek gently. “I’ll be here when you wake up.”
“Thank you.” The young girl smiled gratefully at him, and quickly fell asleep. The telepath sat there silently, watching her as she slept.

About a month later, X23 ran from her new room and raced down the hall and straight into Charles’ office. She had gotten out of the infirmary after being observed for 24 hours after she had first been brought to the mansion. As she skidded to a halt in front of Xavier’s desk he looked up in surprise. “Hello, what can I do for you?” He questioned as she practically bounced up and down in front of him.
She had shown a lot more emotions since her incident with those soldiers, but she still had a long way to completely showing how she felt. She had sudden fits of rage or complete inconsolable fits of crying. X23 took up a lot of Charles’ time, but he didn’t complain. He was growing quite attached to the girl, in an extremely wrong way. ‘I am a sick man…’ He thought to himself as he watched X23 jump happily up and down.
“I’ve come up with a name.”
“Oh really.” He replied, smiling warmly at her.
“Yea, I want to be called Asta.” She stated, grinning in excitement. Charles stood up and walked around the desk to put his hand on her shoulder.
“That’s a beautiful name, Asta.” She felt a flutter race through her stomach as he said her name.
“Thank you!!” She looked up at him and bit her lip slightly as she realized how close they were standing. ‘Wha…’ Asta felt a heat race through her body, feeling a strange sensation in her lower belly as she met his heavily lidded eyes. ‘I…don’t know…what this is…’ She felt herself lean closer, wanting to feel his body against hers.
‘Oh shit!!’ Charles growled at himself. ‘I have to…get away from her…’ He tried to move away, but as she leaned foreward to place her hand on his chest, he couldn’t move away. ‘I…need to feel her…’ He slid his hand along her shoulder, slowly moving up her neck to cup her cheek. Tilting her head up he leaned foreward. Just as he was about to kiss her, a knock at the door caused both of them to jump apart quickly, both looking flushed and confused.
“Ah…come in.” Charles said, forcing his racing heart under control as Kitty headed into the room.
“Hey there!” She said to Asta, smiling brightly at the younger girl. “Professor, I need some help on my homework, if you have the time.”
“Of course Kitty,” He smiled at her as he motioned her to his desk. “By the way, X23 has a new name, its Asta.”
“Oh, that’s a very beautiful name!” Kitty responded, Asta smiled at her friend and headed to the door.
“I’ll be going now.”
“Bye Asta, I’ll see you later.” Charles said, smiling as she looked over her shoulder and gave a small wave to the two in the room before heading into the hallway.
