Rahne laughed, tossing the Frisbee back to Sam. "Nice one bloke! Let's try that again!"
Sam jumped up, catching the Frisbee and immediately making a face. "Aww shucks Rahne, didn't Ah ask ya ta not catch it with yer mouth?"
Rahne giggled. Sometimes her wolf-sense had a greater effect on her than anything else.
"Sorry Sam, I'll try not ta anymore," she replied.
Sam sighed, then grinned as he threw the Frisbee back at Rahne. [Wahll, Ah gotta admit.this is more fun than bein' with Jean or Scott.]
**********************
Jean and Scott weren't exactly thrilled to get back to the mansion. They both felt terrible about not completing their mission, but Jean definitely felt worse. Scott tried to cheer her up, but.
"Don't worry about it so much! I mean, New York City's one heckuva place to try and find a mutant."
Jean nodded, wondering when she would next get the chance to beat the tar out of Scott. He had the radio on a sports station for the last hour. "Yeah." she said unenthusiastically. Holding back a sigh she leaned forward and pushed the communicator button. A voice came out of the speakers immediately.
"Hello Jean, Scott. I was wondering when you would call."
Scott shook his head slightly. It still creeped him out when Professor Xavier did that. "Hey Professor, how are things goin' in Bayville?" Scott asked.
"Quite well actually. The training session just concluded, and Logan and Storm seem to think the recruits are coming along well."
Jean smiled. "Well, that's good news." She held back another sigh. "I only wish we could give you some good news."
"Don't worry Jean.Cerebro couldn't pick up any more information either. And New York isn't one of the easiest places to try and find a mutant. Believe me, I know." Scott smiled a "see-I-told-you" smile at Jean, who smiled back.
"Thanks professor." She glanced out the window. "We should be back in an hour, at the least."
"Very well, dinner should be ready by then. Xavier out."
**********************
Xavier turned around to face the door as Logan and Storm entered.
"Ah, there you two are. Do you have the tape?"
Storm handed the Professor a small videotape. "Right there. I think you'll be pleased with their progress."
Xavier put the tape into a small slot in Cerebro. A video of the training session appeared on the screen. Clips of Spyke protecting himself and Jubilee from Sabretooth while Berserker and Iceman fought off the Blob and Toad played from the tape. Kurt grinned as Berserker fried Toad's tongue.
[Too bad it's just a demo.] he thought.
The professor nodded, pleased at the way the way the new recruits were handling themselves. "Very good, very good," he said as the tape came to a stop. "A few more weeks and we may be able to let them go on a few missions."
Logan smiled bitterly. "I almost wish I'd still be here when that happens," he said gruffly. Storm gave him a sideways look while Xavier smiled slightly.
"Logan, I'm sure you won't be gone as long as you plan," he said quietly. Kurt looked up at Logan, confused. Logan caught the look and tried to smile.
"Sorry Elf.I never planned to stay here this long. I gotta be movin' on."
"But, you'll come back, right?" Kurt asked hopefully. "You vouldn't vant to miss being vith dhe new recruits vhen dhey go out-"
Logan cut him off. "Elf, I'm leavin' forever. I've got things I gotta do still.The longer I stay here, the more of a chance there is that Sabretooth might come here an' hurt someone other than me. I gotta leave Elf." He turned back to Xavier, ignoring Kurt's shocked expression. "Don't try to keep me here Chuck. I'm leavin' tonight, and I'll let ya know when I've got a destination in mind. I'm gonna go pack." And with those last few words, Logan turned around and walked out of the room.
Seeing Kurt's hurt expression, Storm put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Kurt, I'm sure Logan won't stay away forever. I know you've tried to be a good friend to him, and I'm sure he appreciates it-"
Kurt pushed past Storm, cutting her off as he hurried out of the room. Storm sighed softly, then turned to Xavier.
"What are we going to do? Once the other students find out."
Xavier shook his head slightly. "THAT is beyond our control. If we could find something that would make Logan stay." He thought a moment, unsure what that might be. Things were starting to change just a bit too fast.
Rahne laughed, tossing the Frisbee back to Sam. "Nice one bloke! Let's try that again!"
Sam jumped up, catching the Frisbee and immediately making a face. "Aww shucks Rahne, didn't Ah ask ya ta not catch it with yer mouth?"
