I2: A Path to Redemption

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into an administrative building as well as faculty and staff housing on the second floor.

Chase exhaled slowly and knocked on the door to Miss Kinney's office.

He opened the door and peeked in. He promptly forgot to actually speak.

Apparently X-23 has decided what the room was missing was something that wouldn't break (immediately) when she punched it, so now there's a punching bag suspended from the ceiling in one corner that she's throwing jabs at. She seems perfectly content to let Chase just stand there while she goes through a series of punches. Eventually she stops and turns around when Chase doesn't speak up or leave again. "Oh, it's you. What do you want?"

He snapped out of it but still looked hesitant. "I... I wanted to ask you about the teams."

She nods. "You're walking around the general populace, so I take it Rede gave you the clear on your brain?"

"Yeah, though he still wants to see me weekly for a while. To check on me and help me remember my old life."

Laura wasn't sure exactly why she didn't like the kid. Probably because he reminded her too much of her younger self. But that also meant she understood his reasoning. When violence is all you know then looking for constructive ways to channel that is pretty much your only option.

"Do you think you'll be able to fight without letting this shit seep back in your mind? We don't kill people." Oh yeah, look who's talking. Do as I say, not as I do, huh. "You've got instincts and reflexes that run the exact opposite of that. I know you do because I do as well. You can't erase who you are by getting rid of your leash. Do you think you can keep that under control?"

He thought for a moment, looking downward. "I honestly don't know."

"But how can I find out?"

He nodded, giving her a determined look. He understood that redeeming himself, even in his own eyes, was a long road, but not taking it wasn't an option. Wherever it led.

"I also want you to set up a program in the Danger Room. Have it look different than what you're used to but similar exercises. It'll help to disassociate your training from your programming."

He sighed. "I can't very well seek redemption without making amends with her, can I?"

He smiled ever so slightly, reassured just a little.

"I'll try to remember that."
