The air around the mansion was thick with fog. It was a chilly October night, and the X-men were in their respective rooms, minding their own business. Most were asleep, save Logan and Henry McCoy. Logan was sitting in the kitchen drinking a beer and Henry was working on a project involving something to do with finding out what form an x-gene positive persons mutation will be at an early age. It was hard work and he was on the edge of a breakthrough, but he couldn't figure out a certain genetic pattern that certain types of mutants carried. To get his mind off his work, doctor McCoy decided to take a break.
As Henry entered the kitchen, Loan said "you want a beer?"
"Oh, no thank you I'm only taking a breather, but while you are here might I ask your advice?" Logan nodded his approval, "I don't understand it Logan, there has to be some way of telling what type of mutation you'll receive. I mean your body couldn't just manifest some random form, could it?"
Logan pondered for a second then answered "maybe it ain't genetic, just random, like luck of the draw."
Henry pondered for a second then said "I can't believe that it's just spontaneous, there must be a reason for the mutations"
"I don't know but that's just the way it's always seemed to me, besides"
His speech was cut-off by the screeching sound of the alarm. There was an intruder on campus, and with the number of enemies they've made, whoever it was could be very powerful.
"I'm going to go check this out you stay here with the kids." With that statement Logan ran off through the house.
SNIKT Logan's claws came out as he neared the door. He kicked it open and pounced on the intruder, pushing an adamantium claw at his throat. Then he looked at the intruder to see something, odd to say the least.
Logan burst back and shouted "what the hell are you and why do you look like me!"
It was then that Scott awoke to the sound of chaos. He sat up in his bed, wondering what the hell was going on. He woke up Emma and they rushed downstairs to find out what all the nose was about. Emma ran a quick mind-scan and said "Scott, Logan s at the door beating the bloody hell out of some shape shifter! Go see what's going on; I'll go find Henry, Kitty and Pieter!" With that they went their separate ways, Scott wondering why Logan would just attack someone.
When he arrived Scott couldn't believe his eyes. He saw two Logan's! One was younger though, with longer hair. But after a second of just gawking he noticed the young one was rapidly healing. Finally the younger of the two pulled away.
SNIKT there was silence. Then the young one ran straight at Logan and shoved his fist in his gut, splattering blood everywhere. Scott had seen enough, he took off his glasses and shot a powerful optic blast at the intruder.
The young man was down for the count. Scott picked him up and brought him inside. There were so many questions that needed to be answered. He sat the boy down in a chair and bound him at the wrists.
When the younger Logan awoke he had six faces, and a dragon staring at him, one of which he saw every time he looked in the mirror.
"What the hell is that?!" he yelled, talking about the dragon.
Scott calm as always said "That's Lockheed he won't hurt you. Now who are you and what are you doing here?"
"The names X" the boy said as-a-matter-of-factly.
"Well, "X" why are you here"
"I'm here to see the big guy with claws; I think we might have a few things in common."
Logan now stood up and said "are you a shape shifter?"
"No I'm you!"
"Are you a love child or somethin'?"
"No, I happen to be YOUR genetically enhanced clone."
