Hey guys!

Sorry for the long update wait, and sorry all these chapters are so short. School's been crazy lately, so I won't be updating as regularly.


Logan's POV:

Gambit- true to his name- had managed to come with us. We had brought him to the school. I pulled out my claws, but Gambit raised his hands in surrender.

"I just need help. I swear I don't want to harm any of you. But I know Xavier has a school, and I want to attend. I've been on the run from humans, and I need a safe place to stay." Gambit sounded sincere, so I retracted my claws.

"Just remember that there are a hundred trained mutants here. Don't do anything stupid." I warned him.

It's not a trick. Sam told me privately, I read his mind, and he just wants to escape from the humans. They've been hunting him.

Then he'll fit right in. I said cynically, and Sam laughed aloud.

Gambit looked at her oddly, but Kurt smiled. He was used to us communicating silently.

"Come on in." Sam said, walking over to the school. "We'll show you to Xavier's office."

I followed Gambit, still not quite trusting him. But he walked into Xavier's office without trying anything.

"You don't have to worry, Logan." Sam said, coming up beside me, and putting her arm around me. "He won't hurt us."

"Can we trust him?" I asked her, leaning my head on her shoulder.

"Maybe." Sam's reply made me look at her in surprise. "Well, his name is Gambit."

I laughed. "Well, I'll just keep an eye on him."

Sam nodded.

"We've got a mission." Cyclops announced, walking over to us. "The CIA thinks they found Magneto. We're supposed to take a team over and check it out."

"You told me about that, I think." Sam said to me. "Before the dance, remember?"

I did remember. "I didn't know the specifics, then, though. So what's the deal, One-eye?"

Cyclops shook his head. "All I know is that tomorrow at dawn, five X-men need to take the Blackbird to a location that only Xavier knows. Other than those five, we're not telling anyone about this."

"Who's going?" Sam asked.

"Us three, of course." Cyclops said, "And Warren and Spiro."

"So two couples and the lonely One-eye." I said. "Sounds fun. Maybe you'll find yourself a girl."


AN:
Logan brings up a good point. Cyclops needs a girlfriend! Since Sam has basically replaced Jean, but A) Sam's with Logan, and B) Scott is Sam's brother... Scott needs someone else. So, I have two options. 1- choose some random X-men. Or 2- make up an OC. Tell me which you prefer, and if you have any ideas for an OC, tell me.
