Hey guys! So this is a sequel to my story In My head. This is going to mainly focus around James and Rachel but there will be points of view from Logan, Emily, Jean, Scott, and maybe even Thea and others. This can be read as a stand-alone if you so desire but some of this would make more since if you read the first story. Thank you to all my readers and please feel free to review.
James's POV
It's the first day back to school and while I love where I go to school I absolutely hate classes, I just find it boring. The only thing getting me through the day is mental conversations with my sister Thea and my best friend Rachel Summers. Both of them being telepaths has it's advantages. It's the first day of junior year and I can already tell it's going to get stressful. On top of classes I'm training to be put on a team in two years and that takes up a lot of time. Not only do I look just like my dad, I also inherited all of his powers. Just means I have to live up to his legacy I guess.
I'm sitting in science class listening to Storm drone on about who knows what when I hear Rachel's voice in my head.
"You know you could at least act like you are interested, Storm knows your not listening."
"Sorry just dreading combat class next."
"Because your parents like to push you, I know. They only do it cause they know you want to be put on a team. It's the same reason Charles works with me every week, so that we can be put on a team."
"Yeah…lets just pray that since it's the first day back they go easy."
"Again this is your dad we are talking about."
I look over to her and she smiles at me and we hear Storm clear her throat. I look over to her and she gives me a knowing look as to say I know what your doing, she probably does she knows all our tricks. After class the two of us walk down to the basement to the danger room and change before heading in. We are the first two in there and I see my parents standing there talking.
"How has class been today?" Ask my mom.
"The usual, nothing too eventful." I say back
"Uncle Logan on a scale from one to ten how hard are todays simulations?" Ask Rachel
"You know us darlin, straight out ten. Just want to see who trained over the summer and see what the new kids can do."
"Dad how much enjoyment do you get out of the first day of classes?" I say as Rachel and I begin to warm up.
"A tremendous amount, now keeping warming up, Em can you go see where everyone is?"
"Got it sweetheart." She says kissing him. After 18 years of marriage they still act like newly weds.
Class goes by fine, well I should say fine for a few of us everyone else has no idea what they are doing. To say my dad looks somewhat frustrated is an understatement. He makes us run the last simulations one more time before letting us go for the day. Rachel and I then make our way up to the library to work on homework. We plop down in one of the window seats and get to work.
"My parents have their work cut out for them." I laugh.
"Yeah…that was painful."
"Figured I'd give them some space before bringing that up."
"Good idea….What is Thea doing?"
I look over and see her sitting with Tony Starks kid, Anthony. Technically he isn't a mutant but they made an exception. The two of them are holding hands under the table and are practically face-to-face.
"Oh that…that is great." I snicker.
"Your dad might have a fit." She laughs.
"Anthony isn't a bad kid…his dad just annoys my mom."
" Are they dating, they were pretty close this summer."
"I don't know…I would be surprised if he has the guts to date Wolverines daughter. His dad may be Tony Stark but he takes after his mom."
"This is true." She laughs.
Just then I hear Thea's voice in my head.
"Mind your own business."
"Just watching out for you sis, you sure about him?"
"I don't need to explain myself to you." She laughs. 'Don't tell dad, I'm waiting till he is in a good mood."
"Just make sure you don't have his scent on you."
"Yeah whatever."
I get back to doing homework when Rachel's mom walks over to us.
"Hi aunt Jean." I say.
"Hi mom."
"Hey, do you two want to come train with the team, it would be good for you guys."
"When?" I ask.
"In about ten minutes."
"Alright." Says Rachel.
"I guess." I say.
"Alright, go suit up." She then looks over her shoulder and then back at us. "Is your sister purposely trying to piss your dad off." Laughs Jean.
"I'm not going to mess with that, she is digging her own hole, she can get out of it herself. He isn't a bad kid."
"I know, your mom just doesn't love his dad."
"Yeah well, she'll get over it."
As I walk past the two of them I pop the claws to intimidate him and it works. Rachel laughs and Thea gives me the death glare, whatever. Once I change I head down to the gym to find everyone else there.
"Alright now that everyone is here we are working on hand to hand combat today. Kitty and Bobby you guys are up first." Says Scott.
The two of them fight it out with Bobby pinning Kitty to the ground. He gets up to help her up and she takes his hand and pulls him down next to him. Everyone laughs before Scott looks at me.
"Alright James, you and Laura."
"What?" I ask nervously.
"You worried half pint?" Laughs Laura.
"No…It's just been a while." I say meeting her on the mat.
"Don't worry I'll go easy on you." She says meeting my gaze.
She lunges at me and I grab her arm and kick her legs out from under her. She kicks my legs and gets me on the floor. I roll over and pin her down before she wiggles out from under me and pins me in turn. I throw her off of me and finally get her pinned.
"Nice job kid."
"Well…you know." I smirk.
"Nice job James. Rachel you and Remy are up next." Says Scott.
She high fives me as we switch places and I go to stand next to my parents.
"That right there is why you and Rachel are being considered for the team." My dad says smiling.
"Good job sweetheart." My mom says.
"Thanks."
I watch Rachel fight Remy with ease; it goes back and forth for five minutes before he finally gets her pinned on the ground. She looks annoyed as she walks back over to stand next to me.
"I can never get him." She sighs
"Next time though, you go pretty close." I say back as my parents go to fight each other.
The two of them were trained well. It may not have been for the right reasons but because of it they can pretty much fight off anyone. In the end today my mom comes out the winner and she kisses my dad before getting off of him and walking over to Rachel and I my dad on her heels. After watching everyone else and going a round with Rachel we are excused to go get cleaned up for dinner and to finish homework. After dinner we are sitting in the game room watching a movie with some of the other kids when I realize how bored I am.
"I'm going down to the gym, want to come?" I ask Rachel.
"Yeah sure."
We head down there and for thirty minutes we fight each other. When we are done we go to the kitchen to get a snack were we find our parents sitting there.
"What are you two doing?" Ask my mom.
"We got bored watching the movie so we went to the gym instead." Says Rachel.
"You two did well today." Says Scott.
"Thanks." I say sitting down next to my dad.
"I wish the rest of your class had that motivation." Laughs my dad.
"Logan you and Emily seem to have a rough time at the beginning of the year." Laughs Jean.
"Mom it was so bad." Says Rachel.
"This is what I say every year and I will continue to say it until it sticks, just give it some time." Says Jean.
"Scott remember that year I whooped your ass, wait I need to be more specific, the year I whooped your ass the first day of school the year Logan and I get married." Laughs my mom. We are all laughing, as Scott looks annoyed.
"We don't need to talk about that." He sighs.
"Oh come on Scooter it was funny, you should have know what would happen if you made her mad." Says my dad smiling.
"Not a good person to fight when angry." I say.
"Hey James quick question, when did Thea start getting so close to Anthony Stark?" says my mom.
My dad chokes on his beer a little and I just sit there like a deer in the headlights not exactly sure how to answer. Jean and Rachel are snickering and Scott is smirking.
"Excuse me darlin, what did you just say?" Ask my dad.
"Your daughter is becoming fairly close with the Stark kid." Says my mom amused by his reaction.
"Oh so now she is just my daughter."
"If you are going to be protective of who she dates then with this stuff, yes." She laughs.
"Uh I don't know, they were pretty close in the library today but she didn't want to talk about it." I finally get out.
"Logan calm down." Says Jean.
"Scott you're this protective of Rachel aren't you." Says Logan.
"Yes!" says Rachel before her dad could answer.
"It's a dad thing." Says Scott.
"Dad all the boys in my class are scared to even talk to me." Says Rachel.
"Good, I'm doing something right then."
Just then Thea walks in and goes to the fridge to grab a snack before sitting down next to my dad.
"How's Anthony?" he ask casually.
"James are you kidding me right now." She says staring daggers at me.
"It was mom I swear."
"How did you know?" She asks my mom.
"He wasn't focused during combat, I was wondering why. You were the only thing he was thinking about." Says laughs.
"Mom!"
"Calm down. I'm fine with it because he is nothing like his dad. As much as I love his dad his attitude can be a bit much."
"And dad…?"
"It's fine…he better watch it though, I will use these." He says popping his adamantium claws.
"Dad!"
"Kidding sweetheart…totally kidding…kind of."
We sit there a while longer until we all decide to go to bed. I walk Rachel to her room.
"Goodnight Rachel."
"Night James." She says waving before going into her room.
I walk over to my room and read before turning in for the night excited for the coming school year.
