She shivered as cold rain drenched her too skinny form. She curled up under the branches of a big old pine tree, shaking like a little leaf. The lowest branches of the pine tree bent, forming a shelter for the trembling teen. Her eyes closed and she rested her head tiredly against the rough bark of the trunk, dozing off.
She heard someone talking. Several people actually. Pearl-pink eyes opened and she pressed farther against the tree.
"Scent's coming from under those branches," a gruff male voice said. The girl bit her lip, eyes watching fearfully as the branches shielding her from the rain were pulled back. "Oh you have to be joking," the man whispered, staring at the girl in shock.
Wolverine stared at the teen girl, stunned. Dark green hair that was long and tangled, pearl-pink eyes wide in fear, pale skin, skinny frame, he could tell she was the one they were looking for. Before he could say anything though, thorn covered vines shot out of the ground, knocking him back. The girl got to her feet and shot off into the cold rainy forest. Cursing, Logan went after her, the others following. He tracked the girl as she raced through the rain, plants blocking his way as he followed her.
"Ah!" he heard her scream as she fell down a ridge. Cursing, Logan slid down, seeing the girl cradled by vines. Her eyes were clenched shut and he could see tears running down her face. Holding onto the ledge close to her, Logan held a hand out. Blink rain out of his eyes, Logan whistled to get her attention. The girl opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Hey kid, come on, we won't hurt you," he said. The girl looked at him, scared and untrusting. She blinked at him, the vines around her tightening into a steadier platform, expanding. "You want me to get on?" he asked. She nodded. He carefully climbed on, skeptical that it'd hold his weight. He was stunned when more vines shot out of the frozen ground to support him. "Nifty little thing aren't you?' he said, sitting next to the shivering girl. She blinked at him as he took his heavy coat off, wrapping it around her too thin shoulders. "Come on girlie, let's get you somewhere warm," he said as the vines lifted them back to the top of the ridge. Logan stood up and held a hand out to her. The girl tried to stand but something was wrong with her ankle, she fell back down as soon as she got to her feet. Logan leaned down and scooped her up. Frail, thin arms wrapped around his neck as he cradled the girl against his chest. He shifted his grip so that she was more comfortable. The girl rested her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes.
"That her?" Cyclops asked, nodding at the dozing girl in Logan's arms. Even in her sleep, she had a tight grip on his shirt.
"Yeah," Logan sad, walking into the Blackbird. He sat down, knowing that she wouldn't let go. He strapped in, the best he could without waking the girl.
"She's tiny," Scott noted. "Especially wearing Logan's coat, it dwarfs her even more." Logan scowled.
"She was freezing," he snapped. They took off, the girl still trembling from cold in his arms.
Warm, she felt warm. She snuggled closer to the warmth, glad to be warm for once. Her heater moved.
"I think she's waking up," a gruff voice said quietly. She opened her eyes to see the one who had convinced her to go with him looking down at her. Blinking, she wiggled, trying to scoot away from him.
Logan undid the seat belt and let the scared girl scurry way from him. She looked at all of them as the others closed in on her, asking a million questions. The girl covered her head with her arms, shaking.
"Hey, knock it off!" Logan snapped, standing up. He shoved past Scott and knelt in front of the girl. She was shaking so hard he could hear her teeth rattling. "Hey kid, it's alright, we aren't going to hurt you," he said, holding a hand out to her. The girl looked at him. She nodded, taking his hand. Logan gently pulled her to her feet. The girl hid behind him, gripping the back of his sleeve. He could smell her fear; she was damn near terrified of the X-men staring at her. Logan got her to sit in a seat next to him where she promptly buried her face in his shoulder, green hair keeping them from seeing even the side of her face. Logan strapped her in so she was safe while they landed.
"So this is the mutant," Xavier said, looking at the girl hiding behind Logan. She peeked out at him with light pink eyes.
"Yeah, she doesn't speak so I don't know her name," Logan said, shrugging as the girl, who he had started calling Pine, grabbed his hand again, looking at where his claws came out.
"Hm," Xavier stared at the girl and sent his thought to her. What's your name, young lady? The girl jumped, looking around frantically for the voice in her head, eyes wide. Logan chuckled.
"Easy Pine, the prof's a telepath," he said.
"I didn't mean to frighten you; I just want to know your name. If you think it, I'll hear it, alright," Xavier said gently. The girl nodded. Kayri, my name is Kayri. "Her name is Kayri," Xavier told Logan.
"Kayri huh?" Logan repeated, looking at her. Kayri smiled.
Marie watched as Logan came in with a girl her age following him closely.
"Hey Logan," she said, smiling at the man. He grinned back as the green haired girl ducked behind him.
"Hey kid, this is Kayri," he said, pushing the new girl in front of him. Marie stood up and smiled at the girl, she could tell Kayri was shy, the way she chewed on her lip was a giveaway.
"Hi Kayri, I'm Marie, or Rouge to most of the kids here," she said, holding a gloved hand out. Kayri smiled shyly back, shaking it.
"Kayri doesn't talk," Logan told her. Marie nodded, understanding.
"Okay, that's cool," Kitty said from her spot on her bed. She hopped up, taking Kayri's other hand. "I have some pajamas you can borrow till we go raid the mall and get you some clothes," she said, leading the grubby girl to the bathroom.
Kayri was lying on her bed, her new roommates were asleep. The green haired mutant squirmed, feeling cramped and stuffy in the room. Standing, Kayri made her way to the door of the room. She slipped out, silent as a breeze.
Kayri made her way into the courtyard, seeing a big old tree. She placed a hand on the trunk. Yawning, she climbed into the branches and settled, being supported by branches of the tree to keep her from falling.
So, tell me what you guys think please. and no flames please!
