Chap 2.
The next day started the same as usual, people getting out of bed, discovering who had to make breakfast and go from there. Rogue saw that it was Jeans turn to make breakfast, but wasn't in sight. 'Ok, I'll cover for her today.' She started to get breakfast ready when Evan came in.
"Yo home girl, what's cook'n?" Evan had a tired look in his eye.
"Bacon, eggs, and hash-browns." She tucked in her black shirt that had 'I SEE DUMB PEOPLE' on it.
"'K, I'll let the others know." He yawned as he left the kitchen. She spiced the hash-browns and the eggs as she started making the bacon. When a whole plate of bacon, eggs, and hash-browns were made, she took them out to the dining room where some people were waiting.
"Dig in, more are com'n." she smiled as Scott helped put the plates on the table.
"Need any help?" Scott asked with a chipper tone in his voice.
"Nah, but thanks for ask'n." Rogue smiled as she went back in to do up more food. She found Jean in there looking a little…upset.
"I was going to take care of breakfast…" Jean had a dark look in her eye.
"Ah thought ya did'n feel well, so ah decided to help ya." Rogue's good mood was quickly disappearing.
"Ok…thanks…"Jean looked like she had thought she had made a fool out of herself.
"It's ok." Rogue handed her a plate of eggs. "If ya still wanna help, take these to the din'n room please?"
"Ok." Jean carried the plate full of food out to the table to see most of the residents there and almost done with the first helping. Kitty looked at the food and grimaced, she ate the hash-browns, just the hash-browns.
"Rogue vent all out on this breakfast, vell she certainly is trying to impress someone…" Kurt had a mischievous gleam in his eye. Scott just cocked an eyebrow. Logan sat down and everybody was silent, after he had a few bites and a cup of coffee did the people at the table relax. -Logan, there is something I would like you to check out.- The professor had a normal look on his face. –What Chuck?- Logan just kept on eating. –I sensed a disturbance in Nevada, I think you should look into it.- Xavier just looked at Logan. –I'll get on it.- Logan drank his fourth cup and got up from the table.
"I'm going on a ride." Logan just left without saying more. Logan is out to get somebody. Scott looked worried.
"Why tha long face sugah?" Rogue looked at Scott's worried look with concern.
"It's Logan…" Scott looked to Rogue.
"Tha way he walked out was weird…" Rogue thought out loud.
"We'll see what happens then." Scott went back to eating slowly.

Logan walked into the Area 51 Main Complex and just got stares.
"Excuse me sir but you are hereby-" The man in the black uniform was interrupted by Logan.
"I'm here to see the man, if you won't help, get outta my way." Logan kept on walking. Some more black uniformed soldiers came out with M-16's.
"Halt or we'll fire." One of the soldiers said with command. Logan kept on walking like he knew where he was going.
"Fire." The same one opened fire as the rest of the soldiers fired as well. When they saw Logan get back up again, they all emptied the clip into him. When he got back up again another older soldier was there.
"Cease fire!"
" 'bout time Matrix." Logan smirked.
"At ease men, he's a veteran." Matrix smiled as he approached Logan with no fear.
"They make you a General yet?" Logan smiled as he shook the mans hand.
"Not yet, I'm surprised you didn't kill anyone in on your way here." Matrix walked with Logan as the headed for his office.
"I woke up in a good mood. Your snipers need to go back to school; they hit me in the chest." Logan handed him the .50 caliber bullets.
"So nice of you to return government property. So why are you here?" Matrix sat sown in his reinforced chair.
"I hear ya picked up a mutant, one that could wipe out a ten mile radius. I'm here on Charles Xavier's behalf." Logan was all business as he sat down.
"I see, you called General Fury again. The official line is we don't have him. The Jugglers want to keep him 'cause he is a danger to everyone he meets." Matrix leaned back in his chair.
"I know ya got 'em, and if I don't get 'em, I'll carve my way through your base to get 'em bub." Logan looked hard at Matrix.
"Well, I'll have to have something to give to the Jugglers, otherwise we'll have to crash your school and take him back as well as a few others they want." Matrix was all business in his attitude as well.
"Wait." Logan took out a SATPHONE and dialed a number.
"Hey…yeah it's me again…Matrix says he needs something to give the Jugglers…'kay…'kay…it's for you." Logan handed the phone over.
"Matrix here…yes Sir…yes Sir…what are you going to tell them?...I can't refuse a lawful order from a superior…yes Sir…'bye." Matrix handed over the SATPHONE back to Logan.
"Well?" Logan looked questioningly at him.
"I've been ordered to hand him over to you, this way please." Matrix got up from his chair and left his office with Logan following him.

The sixteen year old kid looked up from his lead lined cell with cold grey eyes and a brown mop that was in a pony-tail reaching to his back as he heard footsteps on the other side.
"Do I get out on good behavior gaijin baka?" The american teen had sarcasm in his tone.
"Actually something better, you're a free man, and here is your escort." The man in the black uniform motioned to a short mid-thirties man with long wild hair.
"What's the catch gaijin?"
"いいえキャッチします。" Seeing the shocked look on the kids face the shaggy man smiled.
" 私はローガンです。" The boy smiled.
" これらの馬鹿何やってるのですか？" The shaggy man looked around and smiled.
"You do know I understand everything your saying, right?" The man in the black uniform had a smirk on his face.
"どこを受けてもらえますか？" The kid looked at the shaggy man.
"Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. And this man is an instructor there." The black uniformed man walked them to a black sedan.
"I'll return the car when I can." The shaggy man had a smirk on his face.
"Logan…expect a phone call from the Jugglers." The old soldier nodded to Logan.
"Col., expect me to give 'em my middle finger." Logan walked away from Matrix and got in the car with the kid.

When the kid graced the doors of the mansion, Kitty was there reading a magazine.
"Hi, I'm Kitty Pri-" She was interrupted by the 16 year old male with grey eyes.
"Hi, I'm Deathwish, pleased to meet ya, now get the frell outta my face." He walked past her and headed toward the male dormitories.
"What's his problem?" Kitty had a sour look on his face.
"Most of ya think ya had it rough…even Slim had it easier than he did, I read his file." Logan gave a kind look to Kitty.
"But he was so…" She looked like she was searching for the right word.
"It's his defense Half-pint, he don't let anyone close, so he doesn't hurt 'em." Logan sat across from her.
"It also has to do with his abilities. He, in a sense, is a walking nuclear reactor. So he leaks radiation." Professor X had wheeled in when he sensed Kitties distress.
"So…he's a…danger to others if he doesn't learn control…" Kitty had the look of the thought dawning on her.
"Exactly. I'll let the other's know not to approach him; he's in a bad mood. Was his room set up?" Logan chewed on the toothpick as he looked at the mega psychic.
"Yes it was, with a lead paint and panels, the only time radiation leaves that room is when he opens the door." Professor X smiled.
"Dinner should be eventful…" Kitty smiled as she left for the kitchen.
XXXXXXXXXXXLastXDanceXChpX2XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When dinner came around everybody noticed the new guy had just taken a plate and started eating.
"Hey man I'm-" Evan started, but was interrupted but the grey eyed youth.
"In my space, back off, its not healthy." He kept on eating, ignoring Evan.
"Hey man what's your problem?" Evan started to get angry.
"Hey porky-pine, back off, he has an explosive temper, and I don't wanna glow in the dark." Logan stepped in and sat down.
"You mean his powers are…nuclear?" Evan had a shocked look on his face.
"Yes they are idiot; please keep on reminding me of the day they first manifested." The grey eyed youth had sarcasm dripping from every word.
"How did they manifest?" Jean had curiosity in her tone as she looked at him.
"Ugh…ok, ok, I'll tell it AGAIN. It happened when a girl I had been crushing on had asked me to be her boyfriend, then to top it off, she kissed me…the next thing I knew, everything in a ten mile radius was annihilated. Nuked…as I raged at myself I caused up to 800 rads of radiation to stay in the area. Now the town of Kimi Japan cannot support life, and it's all my fault. My name is Kevin Jonson, now stay away from me." Kevin got up and left the dining room. Rogue looked down into her own food and Scott held her gloved hand, Kitty and Jean looked at each other as Evan had backed away as Kurt teleported in.
"I'm starving, vhere is the new guy?" Kurt had a few puzzled looks as he ate.
"You'll meet 'em in the danger room." Logan grunted as he finished his plate.
XXXXXXXXXXXLastXDanceXChpX2XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As everyone showed up for practice, Kevin was the last one to enter.
"Nuke, since you're the last one in, you have to clean up the mess afterward." Logan's voice came over the loud speaker.
"Right old man." Kevin just waved him off.
"Here is the course, it's a bigger version of capture the flag, team 'A' has to get it and team 'B' defends it. Team a will have Spyke, Nightcrawler, Jean, and Nuke. Team b is Shadow Cat, Cyclops, and Rogue. We have to defend the flag for 2 minutes. Go!" Cyclops read the roster and got into a battle position after he read it. As Nightcrawler teleported, Nuke just shook his head. Jean threw Spyke at the flag, only to have Cyclops blast him back. Nuke looked back up and his eyes were glowing green, he threw 2 green balls of radiation and struck the base of the flag, the sudden influx of radiation made Rogue puke up her dinner. Scott glared at Nuke as Jean flew over to try and take the flag. Shadow Cat phased the flagpole into the ground as Nightcrawler tried to get his hands on it to teleport it. Nuke opened up with a full beam of pure radiation trying to hit Shadow Cat as she phased into the floor. Cyclops took Rogue and ducked behind some cover. The blast hit the titanium base and it glowed red. Surprisingly enough nobody said a word on team 'B's side. Shadow Cat took Rogue to behind Nuke so that she could touch him. The effect was immediate; Nuke was out like a light which evened the odds.
"Ok kiddies, team a failed. Lack of communication also they didn't watch their team members back. Team b used nonverbal code and worked as one unit. Team b wins, but not by much. Know the enemy, then know how to take 'em down with minimal causalities to your own side. Team 'A' has clean up." Logan got off the mic.
"We got no readings on his initial data…the radiation blacked out the camera's scanning function…." Professor X had a worried look on his face.
"Don't worry Chuck, the kids rads is already down, he's been wearing the lead suit we provided him, it has knocked down the rads he puts out by about ninety-five percent. So he puts out about six rads an hour. The sun puts out more than he does." Logan looked at the computer screen again.
"He has to learn to control his temper, he's starting school tomorrow." Charles had a worried look on his face.

As Kevin walked through the doors of the school he put out a 'stay away from me' aura, and of course some jocks just don't get the hint.
"Hey, you must be new here, I'm Duncan Mathews; my pals are Stewie and Thomas." The quarterback put his hand out for a hand shake. Kevin just looked at him.
"Baka." Kevin just sidestepped the jock and got maybe two feet away before Mathews caught up to him.
"What was that? We speak English here in America." Duncan got between Kevin and his first period class.
"Watch out, your intelligence is showing." Kevin tried to sidestep the dumb jock again only to be stopped by Mathew's cohorts.
"Hey now, you're being rude…" Stewie had a dark look on his face.
"It's not nice to be rude." Thomas threw a punch only to have Kevin catch the punch and flip Thomas to the tile floor and with a quick turn of the wrist had Thomas in pain.
"Ok Larry, Curley, and Moe; I don't want to make friends, go away. If you think you can beat the crap outta me, think again. Black-belt Jujitsu. Now leave me alone or I break your buddies arm." Kevin had the look in his eye like he was going to do it. A teacher arrived and tried to break up the crowd.
"Break it up; break it up, nothing here to see. Your first day here and you cause trouble." The balding teacher had his hands clasped in front of him.
"This moron I'm holding threw the first punch, I defended myself; is there a problem with that?" Kevin still had his hold on Thomas.
"Now, now, violence never solves anything…" The balding educator put his hands in a calming motion.
"Yeah, right. Lemme guess, I have to see the Principle?" Kevin had a knowing look on his face.
"Well we have to get both sides of the story…" The balding man started to say, but was interrupted by Kevin.
"And then you believe moron 'A' over me, I don't have time for your stupidity." Kevin released Thomas and walked into his class.
"Young man come here, don't you have any respect for authority?" The bald man walked after the student with the bad attitude.
"No." Kevin sat down for his English class. The English teacher goes to the balding man and looked at him.
"The new student is telling the truth, the other young man accosted him and he defended himself." She had a knowing air about her. The balding man just put his hands up in a surrender motion.
"All right…Just make sure he keeps that attitude in check." The bald man stormed out.
"Thanks…" Kevin had a confused look on his face.
"I saw it all and I don't give favoritism. Now introduce yourself." The female teacher had him stand up close to the black board. He started writing his name in Japanese and then again in English side by side. Rogue and Scott had different reactions to Kevin introducing himself.
"こんにちは、私はケビンジョンソン、私のように黒と赤の色を、私のようなご滞在を読み、ほとんどは自分自身のです。私は友達とのを楽しみにしています。" Kevin then gave a bow.
"Dude…we speak English here in America." One of the students in the class said with a smile and a few others started to laugh.
"Then why limit yourself? There are a whole host of other languages out there, English is my second language. And, by the way, your intelligence is showing." Kevin sat down in the back of the class.
"Yes, you do have a point Mr. Jonson, but in this class we study English, now turn to page…" The English teacher started her lesson for the day.

Scott and Rogue sat at the stone table and bench's outside as they ate their lunch.
"He's gonna make himself too many enemies, if 'e don't lahten up." Rogue put down her soda can.
"That's just the way he is…would you like to go to that place I mentioned, after school today?" Scott looked into Rogues eyes.
"Why sure, I'd love ta…" Rogue blushed as he took her gloved hand.
"I bet we can work on a way for you to control your powers." Scott had a serious tone to his voice.
"But…ah can't…" She sputtered.
"Hey, you have a chance to control yours, I don't have that chance, it's the brain damage that I got when I jumped out of that airplane with my brother…" Scott's voice drifted off as the subject turned to a bad memory he had.
"When ah had your memories…ah saw the plane crash…ah'm sorry…" She hugged him and he was speechless.
"Don't be…" He just held her.
"Well ain't this just sweet, ya dump Jean for all dark and gothic." Duncan Mathews sauntered over like he was going to start trouble.
"Well look who it is, Johnny Football Hero." Rogue glared at Mathews.
"I'll be sure to take care of Jean real well." Mathews was waiting for Scott to do something.
"Be sure you do, she's a close friend of mine." Scott had the look of someone holding a treasure.
"You're admitting defeat?" Mathews had a shocked look on his face.
"No, to begin with, I wasn't dating her, she was a close friend, and Rogue is who I'm dating." Scott had a no-nonsense look on his face.
"Why thanks Sugah, ah love ya to." Rogue held him tightly.
"Oooo, looks like things are getting hot and heavy, I'd better go…" Duncan left with a confused look in his eye.
"When did ya decide this?" Rogue looked her new boyfriend in the eye.
"When you said yes." Scott smiled as he stared back.
"Well, ah'd like ta' do more, but ya know…" She looked down with a sad expression.
"That's why I'd like to help you with your powers…so that someday…" She silenced him with a finger over his mouth.
"I just don wanna get mah hopes up…" She looked deep into his eyes to see if he was sincere.
"I swear I'll find a way to help you control your powers." Scott had a serious look in his eye.
"All raht…sho' meh." Rogue had a serious look in her eye.
"Ok, you already know some meditation, that place I know of is a great place to do that." Scott had a look of confidence in his face.
"So ah just…concentrate?" She had a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Yeah, I talked to my uncle, he seen some Tibetan monks move stone spheres with just concentration and their chi." Scott had confidence in what he was saying.
"Ah thought ya had no family…" Rogue looked at him shocked.
"He…didn't want to take me in, but he still sent letters, and it was in those letters he told me of his adventures." Scott looked down as he just held her.
"An' ya' believe him?" Rogue looked at him confused.
"He doesn't lie, and he's been right so far. I checked some old books." Scott looked his girlfriend in the eye.
"Ah'll give it a try then…" Rogue kissed the shirt above his heart.
"I like you Rogue…I want to get to know you better…" Scott had a serious tone in his voice.
