Title: Threshold
Fandom: X-Men Days of Future Past
Rating: G
Length: 100
Content notes: No warnings apply
Summary: Logan comes to the school again.
A/N: A drabble for [personal profile] aesc, inspired by rewatching the film recently.



The iron gates hang slightly askew, breaking the familiar X motif in half. Logan glances down at the school sign rusting in a clump of weeds. The fountain in the courtyard is dried up, the circle and X of its basin overgrown with grass.

He woke up fifty years in the past, but it might as well have been a hundred years in the future. There's no fairytale prince to break this spell, only him. He steps up to the heavy oak door and knocks to wake whatever is sleeping in the mansion he called home, once upon a time.

I like the hint that he may find Beauty, he may find the Beast - and despite the presence of Hank, I think both of them are called Charles Xavier.
