Fourth chapter. Okey Dokey, I may be giving a long explanation of Logan in here but he isn't a main character. And yeah, enjoy!

Chapter 4

{Loki's Viewpoint}

This is utterly ridiculous. I stride out of the common room, dodging that blithering idiot Von Doom, and trudge towards the entrance. Ridiculous. Detention? Me? Do they really think that they can impose this kind of lowly punishment of me? A little kick in the shin never did anyone wrong. It was that stupid Professor's fault anyway, I clearly stated when he first introduced himself that I would like to be called out by my real name, Laufeyson.

But I suppose since my true lineage is a notorious magical criminal, he probably wanted to avoid distress. Laufey, an extremely powerful dark wizard and part giant, isn't commonly known by his given name as he goes by the name Frost King, a ridiculously juvenile alias. So now, fools have been pestering me about my stupid foster brother, Thor, and his oh-so-pure Gryffindor lineage. Whatever. Only I know that Odin, my bastard foster father, went to Durmstrang where they don't have separated houses, he would've been in Slytherin otherwise. He is not gallant and brave, he is sneaky and cunning, just like my bastard father Laufey.

I stomp out into the darkness of the night and head towards the only light in what seems like miles, the lantern by the abandoned hut. As I near the lantern, my eyes rest upon the face of the man holding it, a hardened un-aged face. Prof. Logan looks me up and down as I near him, grimly satisfied by what he sees.

Prof. Logan is a stout man, gruff, in his prime but with the eyes of an old man. He wears a leather jacket and jeans beneath a scraggly cloak, very unprofessional but he seemed the kind of man not to care about that. I can tell by searching his face that he has been through the worst and is now a hardened man with the eyes of a killer.

Tony Stark is already there, pouting while rubbing a small lump on his head. He probably deserved that. Stark is one of the few that have caught my eye, being a man who has not only an arrogant mask, but also a mischievous air about him. I saw not only his mischievous side yesterday when Natasha coaxed me to speaking with him, but a curious and inquisitive side when I showed him my magic. My special magic. That Thor and his family detest. Because it's unusual. He seems to cause trouble as much as I do and I have to admit, I am attracted to trouble. He catches my eye and grins confidently. It makes me smile a bit but I wipe that off my face, offering a haughty glare to Prof. Logan.

Prof. Logan accepts it without a second glance and pulls a gangly first year from behind him. The boy who looked quite excited in the morning was now quivering and clutching Prof. Logan's arm, which he seemed quite annoyed by.

"Man up, bub," he said gruffly, "There's gonna be a lot more than darkness in these woods." He shook his arm and the boy, Parker I think, fell off, latching onto Stark. My eye twitched but I kept my face impassive. The Professor continued.

"Now brats, we're all here. If you don't know me, I am Prof. Logan. I don't give a crap about what you call me. You can call me Logan, sir, Professor or even just Wolverine. I. Don't. Care. You just have to do what I say and trust my judgement. If I tell you to run," He looked at me, "you run. If I tell you to fight," he glares at Parker, "you fight. And if I tell you to shut up, Stark. You bloody well shut up. I'm not under giving you a good thump. Got it?" He folded his arms, scowling, and Stark grinned cockily, raising his hands in surrender.

"And I'm not taking any of this 'I'm scared' or 'I can't do it!' We will be searching throughout the Forbidden Forest for specific ingredients for Potions classes. I usually do this alone because I know the woods but Nick thinks you kids will be taught a lesson if I drag you too." He grimaced at our confused faces. Nick? I suppose he means the Headmaster. Parker and Stark look confused as well so I presume many do not know his first name. Logan doesn't seem to care.

"I've already handed out lists and maps, the maps are specifically enchanted to show you the way back. I you somehow lose your map, well you must be bloody stupid and I'll have to rescue yer sorry ass. It's relatively straightforward. Everything is on the lists, along with instructions on how to get the damn ingredient. Twitchy here," Logan jerked his thumb at Parker who smiled nervously, "Will be coming with me. Stark, you will be travelling with Laufeyson."

"No complaints there," Stark grinned, "You know, Loga-"

"I'm not finished Stark. I can sense this boy's natural bloody power so if either of you get any trouble, send up some fireworks from your wand or somethin'."

"Where's your wand Logan-my-friend?" Tony asked smiling innocently at the man, who maybe by chance, stretched and smacked him over the head.

"I'm not yer friend, bub, but I don't need no stick to be powerful. I got a bit of animal in me. And that's all you need to know. Now get going!" I knew there was something strange about the Professor from the first moment I met this man. Werewolf. The glint in his eyes when he looked at me proved my suspiscions correct and for just one moment, a shiver ran down my spine. This man was not one to be played. Logan dragged Parker behind him as he entered the forest surrounded by eerie fog. Parker gave one last struggle before he disappeared into the foliage.

"Sooooo, Loki," Tony got up from where he was going and grinned confidently, "You and me huh?" He strolled to the edge of the forest and I found myself grinning devilishly at his over-confident swagger. He probably knew that I could see all his stares and darkened eyes. And he loved it. This here was a man who loved to play the game.

"Well Stark," I sauntered my way up to him, leaning on a tree and looking back at him over my shoulder, "I wouldn't have it any other way." I ran my fingers down the bark of the tree, feeling every little scrape and ridge. I didn't have to look at his face to know he was gawping.

"Shall we?" I entered the forest with a self-satisfied smirk on my face.

{Tony's Viewpoint}

"Oh that seductive ass…"

Yes, Tony loves Loki's ass! The Forbidden forest and a huge spider coming up! Comments and criticism appreciated ^.^
