Aiden was a patient man, but he knew his limits. The problem was if he could keep from reaching that limit.
The clatter and noise of the Bar Rang in his sensitive ears as he clutched the glass in hopes of taking the pain in his ears away, though failing miserably as another man seemed to shout louder.
A permanent scowl was etched onto his face and his eyebrow was twitching with signs of anger in his Golden eyes.
The Stench of a mutant was strong, A Feral Mutant, another male which made the animal instincts inside of him rise.
It was HIS bar.
HIS only Resting Place
And another Male had come into HIS Territory.
At that last thought he quickly took a hold of himself, pulling the hood further over his eyes in an attempt to muffle the feral growl that rumbled in his chest.
He needed to calm down, Home was his territory, not here, So Stop being so protective over it Aiden!
The bar tender walked up to him a smile on his face and a glass of Vodka in his hand. "Compliments to the man in the coat" He Placed the drink in front of The Mutant and a look of surprise flashed in Aiden's eyes before he raised his head to stare across the bar.
It was the mutant he'd smelt all this time and a wide grin was spread across its face.
Aiden's eyes sharpened with feral rage and he fought to stay in his seat, but that only caused the Others Grin to widen, showing off the fangs he bore.
Everyone seemed to stay out of the way of the two, making sure not to become between the others silent challenge.
It was like the humans new the gravity of the situation as they went silent not a single whisper in the bar was heard.
Aiden gripped the glass tighter and the sound of cracking glass echoed in his ears but he stayed silent, eyes fixed on the gaze of the other.
Said man was slowly rising, though Aiden stayed still, resisting the urge to rise also, and as if walking on ice they slowly made their way out of the bar, the smirk never leaving their face.
Aiden watched him like a hawk, eyes narrowed and 'wings' ready to attack if something happened.
But the man merely left, coat sweeping the ground behind him, and soon enough his scent started to fade too.
It was only an hour later when the Remaining Mutant started to calm down, with many people gone it made it even better for him.
Then suddenly out of nowhere a Presence seemed to appear in his mind causing a quick snarl to appear on his face, the bartender jumped in fear at the look.
Pushing the presence out him snapped his gaze around, quickly fixing his piecing gaze on a Red head female.
She was staring at him, eyes wide with shock and he got a whiff of Mutant that only caused his Snarl to reappear.
Fear flashed on her face before she seemed to set her mind and she clicked her way over to him.
Aidan's face went blank, his eyes observing her as she sat a few seats away from him, her gaze met his and she opened her mouth to speak.
"I'm really sorry for bothering you"
A scowl spread across His face, "Likewise"
Her own scowl flickered across her face and he raised an eyebrow, this girl had spunk it seemed.
"My name Is Jean Gray and I Have been…Looking For a mutant, I was wondering if you have 'seen' any mutants around"
He Tilted his head curiously, Much like a fox, causing a small amused smile to spread across her face, "You mean Hunt right? Cause you can't 'Look' For a Feral Mutant, They tend to Find you first"
She nodded as if understanding his words, "I assume you know this first hand?"
He smirked tilting his forgotten cup up so he could take a gulp of sweet wine, causing her to raise her own eyebrow, "I thought Feral's liked the Burning stuff"
A smirk was shot her way, "Not all Feral's are like the ones you know honey~"
She seemed to tense at that, "What do you mean by that" obviously she caught the hidden meaning in his words.
He shrugged, setting the cracked glass on the bar as he spoke, "I assume Another Feral Has claimed you as his unofficial 'mate'"
She Froze, Eyes wide with an unknown emotion before pure anger flashed through her gaze, "Tell me more" Despite the hot rage in her eyes her voice was icy.
He shrugged, not at all intimidated by the female's aura, and replied, "In the feral world you 'claim' a female by Biting or Rubbing" Shooting a mischievous look her way he spoke continued, "But she only becomes yours if you mate to her"
She seemed horrified, "What kind of Way of love is that"
He Glanced away, "Look, Honey, we ain't Human, There is no love in us, only lust"
She was silent, as if thinking over his words, and a few seconds later she raised her head, "I am sorry for bothering you with this nonsense" She seemed to choose her words carefully, "But may I asked how You Know the feral I am hunting?"
Aidan closed his eyes slightly before gazing at the glass a small smirk on his face, "don't know him, He just seemed to have a good enough sense of smell to know I was another feral, Luckily for him he left before he crossed the line"
He grinned at her fangs flashing, "if you want I can try tracking him down" The need to Track down the trespasser caused an evil glint to appear in his eyes, "I'll bring his head back to you once I'm done~"
She shook her head almost immediately, "No, He's quite a powerful Feral, We just….Need to talk to him first, he has been causing trouble" She explained the situation softly and he rose an eyebrow, "A Powerful one huh? And who's we?"
She Blinked, "I work at a School for 'Gifted' Students, I also work with a few other 'Gifted' Teachers to Protect humans from another organisation, as they are absolutely intent on wiping them out"
Aidan's Eyes widened, Opening his mouth to say something he then paused and scowled, "Jeez even I know better than wiping out a whole species"
She didn't question his words and instead seemed to be thinking furiously, before she smiled warmly at him, that look caused an uneasy shiver to run up his spine. "You know if you want you can help us with tracking him down? We got another Feral on the case but-"
As soon as he heard the words 'another' and 'feral', he set his teeth, "No."
After a quick moment of surprise she protested, "But you didn't even hear me out!"
He shook his head at her words, "Look I'm not risking my life again by meeting ANOTHER Feral!" She winced, avoiding his gaze quickly.
Aiden turned away, resting his case by Lifting the mug to his lips in a way of celebration.
"We'll pay you!"
He paused, glancing back at her with a raised eyebrow, expecting to see a desperate woman with fear in her eyes, but instead Jean stared back with a Fiery Heat.
"This mutant is a threat to society; we plan to change that, by money or force it doesn't matter"
Aiden Leaned forward, Elbows on the bar and a wide smirk splitting across his lips,
"How much will it be then honey~"
Aiden Slung his bags onto his shoulders after the taxi man dumped them at his feet, with little care of what was inside I may add.
Aiden glanced around at the scenery, A large Mansion with Well-kept gardens? Seems like something a billionaire would have!
He checked his watch, 11:00 at night it was, having it been A busy day packing and wrenching his heart from the house, it was the earliest time he could of arrived.
Breathing in deeply, preparing for the worst, he was hit full blast by the smell of Two Feral mutants and he couldn't help but snarl.
Studying the smell further he could tell one of them was a First class mutant, with only the looks of one, while another was third class. He himself was third, which meant he could blend in and still have the senses of an animal….Though he did have a few other forms he loved to use, but obviously he doesn't use them in public.
Glancing around once again he went to knock the door, but it was already opening silently, and he was met with the gaze of an older student.
Gold met brown eyes and the student seemed to almost have a heart attack at the sight of him standing there.
"Who the fuck are you?!" he whisper shouted, and Aiden blinked tilting his head thoughtfully, "I though Students only Snuck out in movies" A Wide grin split across his face and fangs glimmered in the moonlight.
The Student did a double take, before processing his words and protesting, "Hey! It's not our fault they refuse to let us go out!"
Aiden Scrunched up his nose, "I'm sure teenagers would make too big of a ruckus, Let alone Mutant teenagers~"
The student huffed, and Aiden eyed the other students, who were peeking their head around the doorway, with a wide grin.
"May I join you~"
Dumbstruck the student stared, obviously not expecting the playful answer from what looked like to be a full grown adult.
Suddenly a familiar red head female Appeared behind him, "I thought you were here to help with the tracking Aiden, Not helping them get out and get attacked" Jean Grey glared at him and he smirked,
"Oh I'm sorry? Did I say I was helping them? I just said I wanted to join them and besides, if they got into any trouble I could just beat the attackers up~" He sang his words mockingly but she only narrowed her eyes, gesturing the kids back into the mansion,
"We'll talk later, right now you can go crash on the couch, seeing how late you are I'm sure the professor won't appreciate being awoken at this time"
Pouting slightly at her words he followed her in and soon enough she was giving all the kids a quick stern Lecture.
Well then, this is exactly why he doesn't like schools, the teachers and the bratty students.
He didn't get much sleep that night, though he didn't expect he would, the couch Was Burning with the smell of Another Feral's Stench, it made Aiden's lip curl and fangs were bared every few minutes.
Once it was around 6:00 in the morning he started to notice some students hanging around. He had a feeling a group was around the corner as he heard whispers and everyone once in a while a head poked around the corner, before disappearing with a squeak as they realised Aiden was watching.
Narrowing his eyes he felt like he should say something, but was interrupted as A few students walked into the room, before stopping dead as they realised he was here.
He stared at them before sighing and sitting up, the girls around the corner squeaked, and ruffling his hair, "You kids want the TV right?" They nodded awkwardly; he got up at once and stretched.
"well it's not like I'm using it" He said simply and lifted his heavy bags off the couch.
He went over to the door, shooting a smirk at the teenager girls that jumped as he appeared in the doorway.
"Now can anyone of ya direct me to the Professors office?"
A Brown Haired female stood up slowly, "uh yea sure, He's usually awake at this time at least!" She seemed slightly embarrassed for answering though she still gestured for him to follow.
He did and as soon as they were out of ear-shot The Teen sighed, "I'm really sorry For My Friends, they're more teenager then I am" She shot a pointed look at him and Aiden blinked, "Oh? Well that's…annoying I guess"
She looked embarrassed at that, and she shook her head furiously, "Nonono that's not what I meant! They are nice people just strange when around People like you!"
He raised an eyebrow and a small smirk spread across his face, "People like me huh?" The teasing tone in his voice caused her to go bright red, "T-That's NOT what I meant!"
He laughed, adjusting his hold on his bags as he did, "I know I know, I was just Messing with you"
She shook her head with a small pout on her face, "That's cruel"
Aiden smirked, "That's what I'm made for~"
She scrunched up her nose before piping up, "My Names Deita"
His humour dropped off the charts at once at the mention of names and she seemed to sense the change as she eyed him curiously, "Uh, My names not weird right?"
Aiden, realising his mistake, shook his head, "No, no, nothing like that, I'm just not used to people giving me their names so easily"
Deita seemed to understand as she looked away, a grim smile on her face, "I see…."
Feeling guilty he quickly spoke up, "My names Aiden"
She glanced at him without saying a word before nodding to a door they stopped at, "The Professor should just be through there"
She walked away and Aiden watched her go with narrowed eyes before he, himself, walked into the office.
A warm smile greeted him and he stared at its origin, the bald man in a wheelchair didn't seem to mind though and instead spoke, "I see your awake Aiden"
Aiden Himself Nodded, Placing his bags on the floor, "You say you got a mutant to track?" His voice changed to one of seriousness, "How much Information do you have?"
"Whoa slow down, you're not Going out yet, we need to wait until Logan gets back" The man Said, "He's the Other Mutant you will be mostly working with"
Placing his hands on his laps he gestured to the chair, "sit and we'll talk about it"
Aiden Obeyed with a small frown, "I'm still questioning your logic about putting two Feral's together," he eyed the man pointedly, "let alone three?"
"I know what I'm doing Aiden, Besides, Beast Wouldn't Hurt a fly"
Aiden in turn raised an eyebrow "beast?"
The professor stared at him, obviously not appreciating the humour, "You're Not Working with Beast, You will merely be around him until Logan gets back"
Aiden sighed, "At least he's a 1st class, If he was 3rd class I would be royally fucked"
The Man Gave him a disapproving look before finally introducing himself, "My Name is Charles Xavier, A Telepathic Mutant who runs this school for-"
"I get it, I get it, the only reason I joined you is for the money and some form of revenge average mutants or humans won't understand"
Charles seemed annoyed but nodded either way, "You shall leave as soon as Logan gets back, Which shall be in the next few days, but first…."
He held out his hand pointedly, and Aiden blinked, "Huh?"
"My students will be scared If you carry around those, please hand over all weapons"
The feral left the office Grumbling, Feeling insecure about his weapons he glanced back a scowl on his face.
He collided with what he presumed was a wall, and he bounced back almost comically, "Son of a fu-" He caught himself just In time to check if it was a student he bumped into, but luckily it was just a teacher and he continued "-uck"
The man, who wore red glasses, did not take kindly to his words and scowled, "Excuse me?!"
Aiden sniffed, dusting himself off as he did, "Oh I'm sorry mister 'I shower 3 times a day' Did I say something rude in your presence, My apologies"
As if to rub it in further Aiden smirked and bowed, before straightening himself up and picking his bag up from where he dropped it, "As I am a mere Visitor Here, I shall take my leave, for I am too Poorly to be in your presence~"
Throughout his whole sentence he was walking past him and off down the hallway.
"Though I must say you should tone it down with all the Lotions~"
Yep, im back with some more XMen Except not like before ;P
