Logan's Daughter

Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men but I do own Panther and any other characters I may introduce.

Chapter One: Surprises...

Dr. Jean Gray-Summers a.k.a. Phoenix looks at the test results from the test she has performed on the young girl that helped them, whom is now laying on a table comatose. She helped them stopped the unstoppable Juggernaut but had gotten severely injured. Jean again looks at the test results and shakes her head at the findings. She looks up from the chipboard in her hand at Jubilation Lee a.k.a. Jubilee and Kathleen 'Kitty' Pride a.k.a. Shadow Cat who are both watching the young girl intently.

"I'll be right back I have to give these results to the Professor. So keep a close eye on her. If there are any changes, I'll have a link open to both of you, you can contact me," Jean says to the two young women, who only nod.

She turns and walks to the circular metal door that leads out of med.-lab and walks to the elevator. When she reaches the upper level that is the school she walks out of the elevator and down the hall to Prof. Xavier's office where the rest of the X-Men are waiting to hear the results of the mysterious girls blood test. As she walks into the office she looks at her fellow team members, her husband Scott Summers /Cyclops is standing on the left side of Professor Xavier. Bobby Drake/Iceman is leaning against a window seal. Marie/Rouge and Logan/Wolverine holding hands are to the right of the Prof.'s desk. Ororo Monroe/Storm is standing on the right side of Prof. X. And Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler is in the far corner of the room crouching on the floor.

"I wanted to make sure I hadn't made any mistakes. I ran the test ten times. Her DNA is like nothing I've ever seen before as if she isn't completely human," Jean says as she gives her results to the professor.

"Is she all right? I mean is she going to live?" Rouge asks as she squeezes Wolverine's hand.

"Yes. But here the real kicker. Part of her DNA I knew I seen before. So I checked our database and checked it against everyone else here and the results were rather...how to put this interesting. To say the least," Jean says looking around the room at her fellow team mates.

"Well what were the results?" Logan asks getting a little impatient with this guessing game.

"Well... the DNA match I found was with you Logan. She's your daughter," Jean says as she watch Logan carefully to see his reaction.

"You want to run that by me again. It sounded like you said that vegetable in the med lab is my daughter," Logan says motioning in the direction of the elevator with his free hand.

"LOGAN!!" Marie all but yells when he refers to his daughter as a 'vegetable'.

"What? It's true isn't!" Logan says in his defense.

"She won't be a 'vegetable' for very long. She seems to have Logan's healing. Well at least a lesser form of it," Jean explains to everyone well glaring at Logan.

"So how old is she?" The Professor asks Jean well reading over the test results more thoroughly.

"About sixteen is my guess. But this guess is based mostly by the cloths she was wearing when she helped us."

"Well is there anything else wrong with her. I mean she is kind of small for her assumed age. Isn't she?" Bobby says as he pushes himself off the window seal and looks at Jean.

"Yes. Well she seems to have suffered from malnutrition as a young child."

"Did you get her name?" Scott asks as he looks at his wife and crosses his arms over his chest.

"No. I tried reading her mind but it was too well blocked," Jean says "I need to get back to the lab to run a few more tests."

As soon as she is gone Wolverine turns to the professor and is about to ask a question when the professor answers it,

"I don't know Logan."

"Thanks," Wolverine says as he looks at Marie then starts for the door.

"Logan where are you going?" Marie asks as she walks after him.

"I'm going to see this girl," Logan says as he opens the door and walks out, followed by Marie.

Med.-Lab.

Jubilee touches the up raised scar that goes over the girls right shoulder to about the center of her upper chest. She removes her hand and looks at the girl. She is extremely beautiful, with almond shaped eyes, a slender nose a small mouth with lips that are between full and thin and well groomed eyebrows. She looks to be about sixteen years old but is just over five foot about 5'1 maybe less, a dark tan, light honey brown hair which is cut so the back is about an inch above the base of her neck, it gets long as it slops toward her face, it reaches to about her chin length but the bangs, are about an inch and half past her knees. On her right arm she has a Chinese style dragon Ruby red tattoo. It starts at her hand then the thinnest end of the tail coils around her thumb, under her hand over her palm to the index finger and coils around it then it coils itself around the middle finger then goes to the middle of the hand and goes into a Dragon which coils itself around her arm all the way up to her shoulder and the dragons head rest on her shoulder blade with flames flaring out of it's nostrils all the way across the back to the other shoulder blade.

Jean walks into the room which causes Kitty to look up at her as she enters the room and ask,

"Dr. Gray, what do you think made this?" Kitty asks as she points to the scar on her chest.

Jean walks up to the examining table, she touches the scar with her right hand when the girls left hand moves faster then she can think and grabs her wrist in a bone crushing grip. She hears Jubilee and Kitty scream in surprise at the girls reaction. Before she really can register what is going on the girls right hand grabs her throat with as much power as the hand holding her wrist and pulls her down so she is face to face with the girl. She then opens her eyes.

"Who are you, where am I, and what am I doing here?" Panther asks as she looks into the eyes of a strange red headed woman. The woman opens her mouth to talk but all that comes out is choking sounds. Panther loosens her grip to allow her to speak.

"Well?"

She takes a few breaths but still doesn't speak.

"I'm waiting for your answers," Panther says in an annoyed voice finally the woman says,

"I'm Dr. Jean Gray-Summers and your at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. You were injured and we brought you here to take care of your injures."

Panther looks into her eyes and she sees that Jean Gray-Summers isn't lying. She is to scarred too. Panther lets go of her throat and wrist. Jean steps back and alternates between rubbing her wrist and neck.

The girl sits up and lets the blanket covering her fall. All she has on is a pair of underwear. Jubilee and Kitty look at the girl in shock, partly because of her lack of modesty and also the scars that cover her body. Her back is covered in chris-cross scars like the one on her shoulder and chest, scars that look like they were made by knives, swords, and some that none of them can even identify.

"Can I get some clothes or do I get to run around like this all day?" Panther asks the three stunned women.

"Y-Y-Yeah," Jean says then turns and walks over to a cabinet and pulls out a pair of sweat pants and a zip up sweat shirt. Jean walks over to her and hands her the clothes .

"Thank you," Panther says with a kind smile as she puts the sweater on then pulls the sweat pants on. The large round metal door opens and two people walk into the room a man and a young woman. The woman looks to be a few years older then herself, and has two white streaks in her hair that frame her face and the man looks like her twin brother Fire Cat, only problem is he is about a foot shorter then her seven foot tall brother, his hair isn't fire red and his skin doesn't have a dark enough tan. That can only mean one thing. The Fates have brought her to their father. Logan.
