“Go buy this thing,” my mother said,

Not even turning her tired head.

But behind her stood that mirror tall,

And I caught myself in its cruel sprawl.

Hair a mess, skin dull and pale,

Eyes like stories too tired to tell.

A T-shirt hung like a second skin,

A battle I had no strength to win.

I didn’t flinch, I didn’t cry,

I just whispered a quiet lie.

Said I felt sick, maybe some pain..

Anything to not walk through rain.

But really? I looked like shit.

And I couldn’t deal with more of it.

Couldn’t face the world that stares,

At unwashed hair and empty glares.

Didn’t want their eyes to roam,

Didn’t want to leave my home.

The lights too bright, the faces fake,

My confidence too thin to break.

So I stayed in, locked the door,

Let silence drip onto the floor.

The mirror watched, but didn’t speak,

I’ve been this way for more than a week.

She forgot what she asked me to do.

I stayed hidden, like I always do.

No war, no scars for them to see

He never believed in destiny, he still doesn't, but he does believe that some things are inevitable. And also that there's a lot of things that can be avoided. He used to believe that he could have avoided the death of all the people he loved, he doesn't believe it anymore. He’s strong, fucking strong, a killing machine with a healing factor, he can heal for almost anything, in fact he hasn't faced a thing he couldn't heal for. Okay, that's not totally true, but he’s talking about physical healing, the other kind of healing, well, his powers don't work for it, do they? He doesn't think so.

If he believed in destiny, he would say that all that had to happen so they could meet. But he doesn't, that would be preposterous, what is he, some romantic person? Romance, hum, he tries not to think about it. He’s not romantic, but he has a heart, you see, and it's not his fault his heart found its home in a person as lost as he.

And Wade is fucking lost. Logan knew it from the start, he could hear it in his voice, then see it in his eyes. He is as strong as Logan, a killing machine with a healing factor too. But his powers also are limited.
