Charles Xavier was shocked and dismayed at the depths of perversity and cruelty humankind could sink to, seeing into Kyle's memories and beyond what he could express or even consciously acknowledge. Repressed memories were not at all uncommon in traumatic cases like these, especially in this one, where the trauma was drawn out, repeated, systematic. Xavier felt sick, but he needed to know what they were facing, and this had been the best opening they'd gotten since the kidnappings had started. This was obviously not the work of the same person or people who had worked on Logan and Shatterstar. There were no psychic landmines except for the most rudimentary ones, and so Charles got a pretty complete panorama of the atrocities he had lived through and the ones he had been made to perform. He could not blame him, just like he'd never blamed Logan for trying to kill him that one time. Xavier only felt a deep compassion for Kyle Gibney.
Logan, on his end, was pretty good at reading between the lines. Having been through a lot of the same, he found that hearing Gibs talk about it actually stirred fragments and snippets of memory in himself. He didn't have to be told what those tasks were. He found himself sympathizing more and more with the younger feral. He could smell his regret as clearly as he had his own back when he did those horrible things. Xavier's mental voice broke through his thoughts.
Logan, it's him. DNA confirmed it just now, but... it's his mind. I already knew. And, Logan, he's not to blame for those things the Perfect Soldier people made him do. He wasn't in his right mind when...
"Yeah, I know," Logan interrupted out loud. He actually stood and walked over to Gibs, then retracted his claws and rested his hand on the boy's bent head. "It's all right, kid. We know ya didn't mean to. Hell, I've done worse thanks to those same bastards." He clenched his jaw and walked over to the small fridge he had in his room. He got himself a beer and gave one to Kyle. "Yer gonna be all right, bub," he said, partly because he wanted to believe it for his own sake.
