Logan awoke to the sounds of something moving above him on the top bunk. He tensed before he remembered yesterday. He groaned and turned over as he heard Peter scrambled down from the bunk, his small feet making little sounds on the floor, and the bathroom door open and close. He decided to get up only wearing an old white shirt, sweat pants and his dog tags.
He started to make coffee and started to search the cabinets for something for breakfast. It was mostly canned food and cereal. Logan let out a sigh when he realized he needed to go grocery shopping. He could live on canned food but it wouldn't be healthy for Peter. The coffee was done and Logan was pouring his first cup of coffee when Peter came into the kitchen in spider and bat themed pajamas.
"Morning bub," said Logan taking a sip of coffee. Peter looked up at Logan sleepily and mumbled a "morning" before his stomach gave a growl. Logan chuckled a little at the boy's embarrassment.
"Guess you're hungry huh?" said Logan and Peter went to look in the refrigerator for something. He found a carton of eggs that were still good "Do you like eggs?" Peter blinked and said quietly "I like scrambled eggs".
While Logan wasn't the best he could at least cook simple meals. When he was done he put some on his and Peter's plates and set the plates down on the table. They ate in silence before Logan decided to speak.
"Kid-" Before he could say more Logan stopped, his eyes narrowed as he sniffed, then swore. "Shit"
Logan grabbed Peter and dragged the confused boy to the bed room.
"Hide! Don't come out until I say so! And be quiet!" said Logan quickly.
"Why-?" A beastly roar interrupted the boy squeaked in fear as he dove under the bed, and Logan closed the door leaving the room in darkness.
It was a minute before the sounds of a fight were heard and growling. The fight lasted maybe 20 minutes but for Peter It seemed like hours. Eventually there was the sound of a body hitting the ground and a groan. Then there was a sound of running. There was the sound of heavy breathing and the door opening. Logan then stepped through door, his clothes cut up and dirt smeared all over him. However other than that he looked fine.
"Wolves and Pumas teamed up to kill me." Immediately Logan wanted to face palm at his horrible lie and Peter didn't seem to believe him either.
Next day on the phone.
"Hello, Xavier Institute."
"Hey, Chuck."
"Logan. This certainly is a surprise. You don't usually call unless something happens..."
"No, I was just wondering if you still had a teaching opening".
"What happened?"
"*Sigh* I'll tell you when I get to the institute."
And with a good-Bye Logan hung up the phone and let out another sigh.
"Logan can I keep it! PLEASE!" Peter's voice made Logan look at the door of the RV where the eight year old was holding a large, dirty, white puppy. It was an almost funny sight considering how big the puppy was and that Peter was holding the poor thing so its hind legs were hanging in the air. Normally Logan would have said no right away except he had two pairs of puppy dog eyes aimed at him.
"Pleases! I'll take care of her, feed her, walk her, train and clean her and she'll be my best friend!"
Logan started to say something, stopped, and closed his mouth. Then he started to grumble under his breath. He then asked "You never had many friends did you?"
"No." Peter let out sadly.
Logan grumbled under his breath even more and then finally let out a loud "Fine!" before walking back into the RV.
"Where'd you find here anyway?"
"In a box on the side of the road"
Logan just grumbled.
A Few Days Later
Logan drove through the gates of Xavier Institute and Peter practically had his face pressed against the window.
"We're going to live here?" squeak Peter looking at the mansion.
"Yeah, you and me."
*Woof*
"And the dog." was added with a growl and the female Utonagan pup, named Angel by Peter, wagged her tail.
The older man parked the RV in the garage and the two plus pet exited the RV with Logan carrying Peter's suitcase, and Peter holding onto Angel's lease with his backpack on.
They were met at the front of the mansion by a bald man in a wheel chair.
"Hello you must be Peter. My name is Charles Xavier," said the man pleasantly and Logan rolled his eyes as Peter said a quite "Hello".
"Logan I know you well enough to know that you didn't kidnap Peter. Though I must ask is he one of yours?" asked Xavier and Logan rolled his eyes again.
"That would require a woman to put up with me for more than 10 minutes." Xavier nodded. "He's the kid of a friend of mine and I was the last on the list of potential guardians who were either dead, unable to be contacted, or are unable to care for him."
Xavier raised an eyebrow and Logan scowled at the other man "I know what you're thinking Chuck but I think I'd be better than some of those foster families. And knowing the kid's luck so far he would get the worst one possible." Then Logan added "He was nearly dragged into a fight between me and Sabertooth" Xavier looked alarmed and Logan quickly continued. "He didn't even see the kid or smell him but we won't be that lucky next time. If it had just been me I'd have shrugged it off but I'm not going to risk the kid's life with Sabertooth."
It was then that Logan noticed that Peter and Angel were missing.
"Oh crap. Where are they?" Logan started to panic. Xavier brought his hands to his temples.
"He still in the mansion, the kitchen to be precise. And he's just run into Kurt while Kurt didn't have his image inducer on."
"Damn It! I was hoping to break it easily to him." Logan started to run towards the kitchen when Xavier stopped him.
"Don't worry Logan." Xavier was smiling. "He's taking it all pretty well."
"Are you a Smurf?"
Kurt gave the small brown haired boy and his dog a confused look before turning to Kitty.
"Kitty, Vhat is a Smurf?" He asked and the other teen who had been hiding her snickers burst out laughing and started to phase into the floor until only her legs were visible and were kicking.
There was a thud as the puppy leaped up on Kurt, knocked him to the floor, and started licking Kurt much to the teen's protest.
At this point two other teenagers walked into the kitchen, one was a girl with red hair, green eyes and a gorgeous figure and the other was a boy with brown hair and red shades.
"What's going on here?" Asked the red head. However the two stopped when they saw what was going on. "The Hell?" Was all the other boy could say.
Xavier and Logan choose that moment to walk into the Kitchen.
"The Hell is going on Scott is that Logan decide to take young Peter in" said Xavier everyone, besides Peter, gave Logan strange looks "He's a kid of a friend of mine."
"How'd you do that?" Peter asked Kitty
"I'm a mutant" answered Kitty and a Peter scrunched up his face in a cute way "I thought all people were mutants. My science teacher said that we all have mu-ta-tions?"
Xavier nodded "That is true Peter; we just have an extra gene called the X-gene which gives us superhuman abilities."
"You mean like super powers?" Peter asked excitedly.
"One could say so." Xavier replied.
"Cool." Peter said like every eight year old would.
"So what can you do?"
"I'm Kitty and I can phase through solid objects" Kitty said.
"I'm Kurt and I can-" *baff* "Teleport and can climb on walls" said Kurt appearing behind Peter only to be pounced on by Angel, again.
"I'm Scott Summers and I can shoot lasers from my eyes, but I can't control it so I have to wear these glasses all the time." Said Scott a bit sadly.
'I'm a telepathic with means I can read and communicate through thoughts', said Xavier's voice though his mouth wasn't moving.
"I'm Jean Gray and I have telepathy like Professor Xavier though nowhere near as powerful. And telekinesis which means I can move things with my mind." Said the red head as a bowl o fruit floated in the air.
"I have super fast healing, super smell, and *Snick* these." Said Logan letting his metal claws out.
"Don't thoughts hurt when they come out?"
"Ever time"
Author Note: Really what eight year old won't think at least half those powers were awesome. Also we got a question about the timeline in this. Pretty much the timeline is whatever we feel like it. Mainly because it's been awhile since we both watched the show and because a strict following to the show will make it harder to write the story. This story starts around the time that Kurt arrives at the Mansion. Also there are questions if Peter will get mutant powers. The Answer is no. However he will become Spider-Man though at a younger age then Canon. So you look forward to that.
