Jamie Madrox sat in the medical bay, trying hard not to be nervous. This would be his second time to goe through this. All the adults knew about what he was going to turn into, so they would be able to prepare for it better this time. Last time had been too close. The Danger room had been prepared, and the other students had been told that he would be in the medical bay over night for observation due to a virus he had picked up. Thankfully, they had fallen for it. All except Rahne of course, but Jamie did not know that. In her wolf form, Rahne had noticed the strange smell coming off Jamie, and it was not the smell she associated with illness, it was the smell of a wolf. She had noticed too the small changes that had come over Jamie in the last few days. The cravings for near raw meat, the way his favourite t-shirt and pair of jeans were a bit tighter on him and the fact that he had to shave nearly every morning this week, despite the fact that he was only thirteen. He also appeared to be going through a mini growth spurt that the other did bot seem to notice. Only the weak before, he was shorter than Bobby a few inches, now he was shorter than him by a few centimeters. Any ime she commented on it, they joked that it was time he went through a spurt, and then forgot about it. The strangest thing of all was not a change in Jamie, but her reaction towards it. Her wolf form seemed to jump to the forefront whenever Jamie was in the same room, and he became the only person in the room worth noticing. He was also spending a lot of time with Professor Xavier doing mind exercises, but when she brought up the strange feelings towards Jamie, the Professor looked worried for a moment, and then told her that in her subconcious, her wolf form looked on Jamie as her cub, and now that he was entering a difficult period in his life she was becoming protective. That is why, while Jamie sat in the medical bay, she had positioned herself in the control box in the danger room, overlooking the large cage in the centre of the room.

Jamie walked shakely towards the centre of the danger room, towards the awaiting cage. Logan walked close behind, looking grim, even for him. Jamie had a sudden urge to create a load of dupes and overpower him and escape, but his mutant ability seemed to have been switched off some time before. Slowely, he sat in the middle of the cage and waited. Twenty minutes later, the transformation began- painfully. His mind was connected to the Professors, so he was able to keep some level of control as he felt the changes, and hopefully, he would be able to keep his mind this time. Quickly, he grew, the clothes that had moments before been to large, shredded as his body expanded. He shut his eyes tight, and prayed that when it was all over, he would still have control.

From the control box, Rahne watched with a mixture of shock and wonder as Jamie began to change. It was like he was turning into the Hulk. He grew taller and he gained a massive amount of muscle. Then, to her horror and amazement, jagged claws erupted from his fingure tips, and course hair grew all over his body, masking the fact that he had no clothes on. Last to change was his face. The lower part of his face elongated into a mussle full of razor sharp teeth. His eyes were the last to change. They turned, slowly, from dark brown, to glowing gold. The screen in front of her was flashing with information. "NEW LIFE FORM DETECTED- 978 Pounds. Nine foot six inches. Human/Lupine hybred. No other available." Then an immpossible thought hit her- Jamie had tuned into a werewolf, and if those were his stats when he was only thirteen, what would he atain when he was an adult? She was so procupied with the information before her that she failed to notice that Jamie was looking right at the control box until he ripped the side of the cage off.

Jamie blinked, and a world of varing shades of grey and black came into focus. It had worked- thanks to the Professor he had kept his mind. He took a quick sniff and identified everyone in the room at the present time and everyone who had been in the room that day. There was Logan- a mixture of cigar smoke and sweat overpowering the smell of a wolf. Ororo was the sweet smell of grass on a wet day. Beast was a heavy, smell that Jamie could not identify, but was alarmed at. But there was another smell. A smell that got his primitive side excited. There was another wolf nearby, and she was in the control box. Jamie stood up, the tip of his elongated ears poking through the bars. He walked over to the side of the cage nearest the control box. Logan and Beast were immediately alert. With one swift tug, the welding holding the bars togeher fell apart, and he had coverd the distance between the cage and the control box and had acended the steps before anyone could react. Rahne looked on in fear as the massive werewolf that was once Jamie squeezed through the door, but the wolf inside her struggled to get out. She realised what a funderable position she was in when Jamie leaned over her, pinning her to the ground with his massive form. He sniffed her, and then, placing his muzzle to her neck he- licked her and continued to do so until she started laughing. After several seconds, he let her up, and got down for her to climb on her back. Holding onto the thick hair on his shoulders, Rahne closed her eyes as he jumped down lightely.

A/N: this is the first chapter of many (I hope). Had this idea for a few weeks now. Leave a review and a few ideas, and I will try and fit them in.
