X-men Evolution

Summary: What if Wolverine and Sabretooth were also teenagers during the series? What would they be like with the others and each other?

A.N.: So, This is my first X-men Fan fiction, and I was being a moody spaz when I came up with this idea, and thought it was so great that I would share it with you. So, I hope you enjoy it and remember flames are not welcome and will be eaten with a side of French fries, while constructive criticism will be appreciated and complements will be loved! ^.^

Also, I enjoy comma's so they'll probably be over used.

It was late night and James Howlett (known as Wolverine to the X-Men) was jumping out his bedroom window, trying to go unnoticed, as he snuck out of the 'Xavier School for Higher Learning.' Usually he wouldn't have to even really ask to go anywhere but at the moment the 17 year old was grounded for getting suspended for fighting at school.

After jumping out the 3rd floor window, and rolling his ankle on the landing, he ran towards the woods behind the house and jumped the brick fence. He didn't notice someone watching as he ran off; he just kept running, until he got to a opening in the trees, where he was met with a grinning Victor Creed landing on top of him.

"Didn't think you were going to make it runt." James pushed out of under Victor and stuck his tongue out at Victor, who in return just gave him the finger.

"Ya know calling me runt isn't very nice. I ain't short; I just haven't reached full potential height." He said James taking off him backpack, and setting it down, then taking off his shoes. James was not a very tall boy, and Victor was huge. James was about a foot shorter then Victor, leaving James about 4'11", and Victor 6'2".

"You know you ain't going to grow anymore, you're going to be a runt forever." Victor just stood there grinning at James.

"Are we going to do this, or just make fun of my height all night?" asked James letting out his bone claws.

Victor got down into a crouching position, getting ready to pounce on James; however, before Sabretooth could flex a muscle, James was on top of him, his claws in Victor's chest, and his teeth in his shoulder. The impact of James to Victor pushed them both to the ground, James let go of Victor's shoulder and pulled his claws out of the taller boy's chest, just to slam them into his stomach, and then his chest again. James brought his fist up to slam it back in Victor's neck, but mid-way down he was stopped by Victor's hand, James' claws going through the others hand. James continued to try to push down to Victor's neck.

Victor pushed James back and pushed him off and into a tree. He brought his hand up too push into James chest, but was distracted by a familiar scent in the air, that of the x-men. Victor just grinned at how much more fun this was going to be with Wolverine's friends watching. At that moment James punched Victor in the Jaw and watched as his claws went through Victors cheeks. Victor brought his hand up and brought it down James chest tearing off his shirt and leaving a bloody trail behind. James pulled his claws out of Sabretooth's face and pushed both of his hand into Victor's chest and pushed Victor back, so he wasn't stuck against a tree.

James pulled back his clawed hands, fell to his knees and was trying to catch his breath. He watched Victor as blood started to drip down his chin. He grinned, stood up, and charged at Victor. He then jumped and Victor threw his fist, and James flew back into a tree. His body slid down, the tree and he panted as he tried to breathe again, after the air was knock out of him. Victor kneeled down in front of James and pinned him to the tree with his hand wrapped around James' neck.

James brought up his feet and kicked Victor backwards. He then Jumped on top of him, and sliced the front of Victor's body, destroying Victor's shirt and pants. Victor then Clawed down James' sides from his chest to his knees, affectively making James' pants fall off. James looked at his pants and growled, then bit down on Victor's arm, drawing blood. Victor grinned widened as James got off of him and shed his ruined pants and Victor did the same. Victor could smell the embarrassment in the air from over in the bushes; he was having so much fun with the others.

Jumping up, Wolverine ran to Sabretooth, brought his claws forward and Slash across Victor's face. Victor grabbed one of James hand flipped him over him. He then grabbed James by the neck and slammed his back against a tree.

"This is over," Sabretooth then adjusted his hand and brought his face down to James' neck bit down, breaking open his Jugular. He then just let James fall down the tree as he coughed up blood, waiting for the wounded neck to heal.

"Looks like I win this one, better luck to you in the next round." Sabretooth just smiled at him.

Wolverine just watched Sabretooth, unable to reply. He slowly brought his hand up and wiped the blood off his chin, then stood ready for the next round.

James growled as they circled each other. Sabretooth then jumped on Wolverine, knocking him to the ground. He held the other boys hands to the ground on each side of his head. James then brought his feet up and kicked them up into Sabretooth's stomach, and flipped the position, James on top of Victor, straddling his hips. James then started trying to pull his hands out of Victor's grip, but Victor refused to let go. So, James tried to lean over and tried to sink his teeth into Victor's neck, but with Victor holding onto James wrist, James couldn't lean down far enough.

Victor easily rolled them back over, now holding James' wrists over his head. He took James' wrists in one hand and ran one of his clawed fingers down the side of Wolverine's face, leaving a small trail of blood that quickly healed.

"You know, you can try as hard as ya like, but you ain't ever gonna beat me." Sabretooth said lowly, in almost growl.

He then rubbed his thumb over James' cheek. He brought his face down to James neck, sniffed it the licked it. James closed his eyes and arched his back then turned his head to the side to catch Victor's lips with his. Victor smirked into the kiss as he heard James groan and felt James harden against his leg. Victor pushed his tongue into James' mouth, licking over sharp teeth, both fighting for dominance. James trying to roll them over at taking control, but Victor was having it and kept pushing James to lie flat on his back.

James breathed in and smelt something he hadn't expected to smell, Scott. He pushed his hands against Victor's chest, "Stop, get off me."

Victor just looked confused, "Why?"

James tried pushing harder, not having the easiest time getting Sabretooth off of him. "I smelled someone, they're watching, I don't want to do this anymore!" Yelled James, crawling backwards out of under Sabretooth, hard on completely gone, Victor then stood up trying to will his hard on away.

"You might as well come out now, now that he knows you're here." He growled out, "Actually I expected you to come out of back there sooner."

Scott, Jean, and Kurt came out of the bushes, looking very embarrassed.

"James, what are you doing out here with him?" Said Scott with a sneer, Jean put a hand on his shoulder to try to calm him down.

"Now, Scott, calm down," She looked over to James who was still sitting on the ground, his knees bent making him look vulnerable, "We're not here to fight, we just need you to come home, you're not supposed to be out here, you're still grounded for fighting him at school."

James moved to get up when he heard Victor start growling, then he let out a very loud roar, and punched through a thick tree and knocking it down. James just scooted back, frightened by the angry Sabretooth. Scott Adjusted his visor and a beam of red light shot at Victor, and made him fly into a tree. Kurt transported over to James, picked him up then transported them over to where Jean and Scott were standing.

Sabretooth jumped at Scott, knocking him down and pushing his clawed fingers into Scott's chest. James pushed out of Kurt's arms, and ran behind Victor and trying to pull him off of Scott. "Victor! This wasn't part of it; I said you could fight me and only me! Get off of him you ass!"

Victor just grabbed James' head and threw him into a tree behind him, and Jean levitated Victor off of Scott. Victor heard a very loud crack and looked over to see James' head bleeding and him unconscious. Victor Struggled in the air to get out of Jeans grip, and was soon dropped. He ran over to James to check his head. He nuzzled James cheek and licked his lips.

Jean ran over to Scott and looked over his wound. "Kurt, teleport him home, quickly!" Kurt grabbed Scott and teleported away.

Jean then slowly walked to get a better look at James. Sabretooth heard her footsteps, looked over her shoulder, then growled at her, warning her to keep her distance. She stopped and watched as James slowly started to regain consciousness, and Victor nuzzled his cheek. James looked up to see Victor and lashed out pushing Victor away and trying to escape out of Victor's grasp. James crawled a few feet away and Victor let out a roar, which stopped James in his tracks.

Jean then took this chance to Levitate James and herself out of the air and out of Victor's reach. Victor roared, as Jean flew them back to the Institute, where Prof. Xavier, Ororo, and Hank were waiting for them.
