That was a relief, he was worried she may of tapped into his nightmares or memories. "Well, you would of noticed by now, little things like a cut or a bruise healing." His memories were the last thing she needed and he hoped like hell she wouldn't get them. Logan made a mental note though to try and not let her absorb much more of him. They needed to find out if the powers she retained were permanent or temporary. How fast they faded, if it depended on how long she held on to someone. "Strength ain't nothin' n'less someone teaches you how ta use it properly."
Logan shook his head. "Ya need ta get in touch with who you are. Learn to focus and sort through the voices until you hear only your own. Yours is the one that needs to be dominant and the loudest. We'll figure out how ta do that." That made him growl lowly. "Yer not an abomination Marie. Yer special, don't let anyone else tell ya other wise. I'm not sayin' ta embrace what they gave ya, embrace yourself, who you are, what you can do. Yer powers, not the ones you got from others. Those are a distraction ta keep you from really learning ta utilize the ones you have. Until you can control yer own, you ain't gonna be able ta control the others. Make sense?"
Logan nodded, for a moment seeing that hardheaded, stubborn, mouthy little girl he'd first met looking out through her eyes. "Ya gotta find that old Marie. I know she's buried somewhere deep inside, just screamin' ta get out." He knew she could do it and he'd be there every step of the way to help her. "Because, the claws, the healing, the senses they are just enhancements to this body. Who I am has nothing to do with what I can do. They don't make me who I am inside. Yer powers, they don't make your personality, your heart or your emotions. Because without them, you're still the same person. And as for those that look at us and think that.. well then they're distracted. Which can be a weapon against them."
He knew it was not smart to do, but he didn't care, she needed to see not everyone was afraid. Taking a step close to her he reached out and brought his bare hand to her cheek. Her skin was softer than he had imagined, and so warm. His eyes never left hers as he cupped her cheek. Logan knew it wasn't an immediate reaction her skin had to touch, it took a few seconds. "Not everyone." The connection opened slightly and he didn't pull away at first, wanting to show her not everyone was scared. Before she could hurt him he drew his hand back slowly, brushing her hair behind her ear. Logan could feel one of the injuries he took from the fight a little acutely, but other than that he was fine.
"The fear is a good thing, it'll keep you from crossing that line. But it's good you want ta be doin' somethin' with what you've been given. It'll drive you." Logan shook his head. "Think that part is Magneto talkin'. These powers don't make us better than anybody. Everyone has a life Marie, just some are different."
Glancing over at her he smirked and sat back down on the couch. "Listen ta me darlin'.. if a man really wants ta touch ya, he'd figure out a way ta do it and keep ya both safe. Because there are ways." He mentally smacked himself, things he shouldn't be thinking of at all.
"You will repay me, by learnin' ta control your powers and not letting them make you a victim."
