Summary
“What’s two plus two?”
The question evades me. There’s an uncomfortable scratch in my throat that I can’t quite wrap my head around. Regardless of the discomfort, my chest feels light. Unburdened. Weightless. My brain feels quiet. Somehow, that feels new.
Even as I’m gathering that something is definitely off here, I know for sure that “quiet” has never been a word I’ve used to describe my brain. Why is that? I have no idea.
As my body continues to rifle through each foreign sensation, there is one thing on my mind that somehow breaks through to consciousness. The lightness in my chest is wrong. The silence in my mind is wrong.
And like a prodigal son returning home, the heaviness settles in. The tears spring to my eyes and the noise returns to my brain, feeling nothing short of familiar.
"What's two plus two?"
“Fffour,” I finally grind out, wondering if the labored exhale would relieve me of my burden.
“Correct,” the computer chimes.
I know two plus two is four.
But not why my heart feels like it’s shattering inside my chest. -

Summary
Logan was the only survivor of the Westchester incident—at least, he thought so, until Kell, a dagger-wielding mutant who has the ability to jump through the multiverse shows up at his and Charles’ front door asking for asylum. Kell survived her own Westchester incident in her universe, losing her whole family of X-Men, including her best friend Logan Howlett. After a year of running from the pain and contemplating her life’s purpose, she decides she wants to jump to a universe where she can be a part of something real again. When she arrives at this one, however, she comes face to face with an older, much more run down version of Logan, and neither of them can fight off the sudden realization that they aren’t lone survivors anymore. Both must navigate a life with an equally unstable Charles Xavier, while finally coming to terms with these confusing, and ultimately all-consuming feelings that seem to keep pulling them together. And once a mutant child named Laura unexpectedly appears in their lives, they start to discover exactly how crucial their partnership really is.
