Chapter 1: Danger Room Troubles
Once again, as they did everyday, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, Cyclopes, Jean, Spyke, and Rogue were training in the danger room; with help from Mr. Logan (Wolverine) of course. "Shadowcat! Duck!" yelled Spyke. As she did Spyke jumped over her on his skateboard deflecting a blade that would have otherwise hit her. It went like so for about an hour till Rogue slipped and almost fell onto a metal stake. "Well done X-men." Said Xavier as he entered the room, "Your skills have—"Before he could finish he was cut off by the phone ringing. "I'll get it" said Logan as he walked out of the room. Xavier then continued, "Your skills have all improved vastly. I am very proud of all of you." Logan then came into the room with the phone and said "It's your mom, half-pint" tossing it to her. Catching it; Kitty said "Hello as she exited the room. "What? Oh my god!" she gasped trying to calm down so as not to alert the others. Kitty then asked tearfully "So when is Dad's funeral?" Logan walked by just as she said this. He didn't want to interrupt (hey wolverine has manners to ya know!;D), though at the same time he had the odd urge to take her into his arms and tell her everything was going to be alright. Wait! What am I thinking? Thought Logan I haven't felt like that for anybody since…. Naww can't be! He quickly tried to continue down the hall when he heard her ask "How much did you hear?" He wasn't sure how to answer her, so he said "Enough" She didn't seem angry. In fact, quite the opposite. She seemed… Relieved. "I'm sorry Kitty" he said in empathy "I know it's hard to lose the ones you love." This, evidently, was the wrong thing to say. "How do you know Mr. Logan?" asked Kitty in anger and sorrow. "If I told you, you wouldn't believe me Kitty." He answered sadly as everyone entered the hall. "What wouldn't we believe?" asked Kurt curiously. "It's not my place to tell" said Logan gruffly as he walked down the hall. "Not his place to tell what Kitty?" asked Scott concerned for his friend. "It's none of business!" shouted Kitty sorrowfully as she ran up the stairs to her room. "Ah'll talk to her" said Rogue as she started up the stairs but Xavier stopped her. "No, Rogue" he said calmly "I think she needs some time alone."
