(After leaving Rogue to unpack her things ECKS takes a detour to the front office before joining Nightcat in the kitchen. He walks over to the dry erase board that he removed and replaced here from one of the classrooms and stares at it, almost as if he's trying to remember something. He shuts his eyes tightly, trying to concentrate.)
ECKS: "I remember... prom night... she was so beautiful in the dress I bought her, me in my tux. She lit up the room... we were the easy choice for king and queen. Then it happened... I remember it so clearly..."
(ECKS lets out a slight growl, as if trying to bring back this memory is causing him some pain. He tenses up as he takes a deep breath then quickly lets it out and continues.)
ECKS: "They shot us... me... then her. I saw her go down... tried to save her... AGK! Hours later, woke up cold and alone... city morgue... not one scratch or bullet wound anywhere... all healed up. Escaped... went back and tried to find her... tried so hard. Lost her. UGH! What happened? Where... where is she now? Never found her, not a trace left. Just the blood... all the blood. Can't even remember her name now... been so long. Five years... five years."
(Suddenly, he snaps out of it. Sweat trickles down his troubled brow. He pants heavily as if he's out of breath. Slowly he starts to wake up, his breathing starts to slow down to normal. Starting to feel better he tilts his head to the side, popping his neck with a cracking sound, then to the other side, also cracking. Then he focuses back on the still blank board.)
ECKS: "Why is that all I can remember? I can see her so vividly in my mind but I can't remember her name or anything else about her. Stryker lied to me, he tried to wipe my memory completely, like he tried to do to Wolverine. But I remember that night, and I remember him. And now he's long gone, the only link to my past life, to her. Probably my only chance of regaining my memory of her. I have to find her. Even if I find that she is... Someone out there knows where I can find her. And I'm gonna find them sooner or later."
(With the sleeve of his jacket he wipes the sweat from his forehead and turns to leave the room. But before he does he reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out the picture from the night as the prom. The last picture he took with her. He closes his eyes again and places the picture back in his pocket then leaves the room. Closing the door behind him.)
