"Hiya Boss.What's up?"
Logan jumped with a start at the fuzzy blue mutant's sudden appearance.He was too focused on the task at hand and hadn't been suspecting such suprises.
"What are you doing up," He growled impatiently.
"I was just wondering..."
"Well don't,"Logan snapped sternly,cutting Kurt off in mid explanation. "Now go back to bed!"
Kurt desperately didn't want to be left out on anything important and if Logan was this ruffled,it had to be something important.Not to mention fun "But I.."
"No,"Logan stopped in his tracks and stared down the little mutant threateningly. "Now GO!"
With tail tucked forlornly between his legs,Kurt turned and disappeared in a brief cloud of smoke.
"Kids," Logan grumbled to himself as he turned and resumed stalking back down the long hall.

The young girl dashed around the corner of the hallway,leaving her fallen opponent still shaking off the last blow far behind.She hadn't been quite as cautious as when she originally entered the house and was quickly reminded of her mistake.No sooner had she rounded the corner ,than a searing red beam of light plunged towards her .There was no time to react as it struck the lower half of her mask and sent her crashing backwards into the wall.
Warily she shook her head ,the protective mask now absent from the nose down,as she climbed to her feet,sizing up her new opponent .He was rather tall and slim built,with some sort of protective visor over his eyes which glowed a dim red.Obviousely the same weapon that had obliterated half her mask.Inwardly she thanked her new "friend" for making it out of such sturdy material as she spied the tiny shards of gleaming metal now strewn around the floor.

Scott stared at the pint-sized figure before him. Her swiftness had caught him by surprise,but nevertheless he had nearly succeeded in knocking off the mask which the Professor suspected was blocking his contact with her.All he need was another clear shot.
Just then,familiar voices echoed from around the corner and he spared a second's glance to try to judge how close they were.That was all she needed.No sooner had his head darted to the side,then she was on him.Rushing headlong towards him,she pounced.
Instantly he returned his focus to the girl,but all he had time to see was the flying feet as they soared towards his head ,roughly dislodging his visor and sending him into a sprawl as it went skittering across the floor.Scott immediately shut his eyes as tight as possible as he listened to the girl's light footsteps as she dashed rapidly up the stairs.
Logan was immediately at his side,slipping the retrieved visor into his groping hand.
"Thanks," Scott breathed in relief. "The Professor filled me in. He believes that the mask is somehow blocking his psychic powers."
"I'd say he's probably right,"Logan tossed him a shard that had been chipped off the mask.
It was rather weighty and shimmered metallic in the dim light.
"We've got to stop her,"Scott warned as he climbed back to his feet,giving his visor one last tweak.
"And you're supposed to be the smart one,"Logan sighed sarcastically as he began to climb the stairs,sniffing warily for his quarry.
