I am sorry for taking so long in updating this story and I am going to try and update sooner and more often for all of my stories.
For the following weeks the students returned to the school and together they were able to fix and rebuild the damages made. Everyone mourned the loss of Jean Grey and Scott never left his room. For lack of a substitute both Kurt and EvoGambit took over some of the classes. It had also been decided to add some of the students to join the x-men. They were Rogue who had been training with her alternate self, Bobby, Kitty who also had been training with her alternate self, and Colossus who was getting a little help from EvoGambit.
EvoGambit and EvoRogue had kept an eye on the romance of Bobby and Rogue which got them to noticed Bobby's recent lack of attention for his girlfriend and his new infatuation with Kitty who had her eyes on Piotr. This new reaction from Bobby had the couple worried for their friend and they tried to talk to her without telling her anything.
During their time in the school the evokids had decided to take classes with the rest of the students after explaining who they were. EvoWanda and EvoLaura were excited to be able to do a normal teenage stuff like going to school, something denied to both.
Three weeks since the whole Stryker fiasco it was decided that the evokids and the new recruits would start training together and EvoLogan decided to make the sessions at 5 am.
"How do you do it?" Bobby asked the evokids when he got on the elevator. "You all are ready to go and do not even look tired."
"Yeah" Kitty said "I mean, I know you live with this guy and have to deal with him but really?"
"The x-men can be needed at anytime." EvoKurt said with his best impersonation of Logan. "That and we have Scott as our team leader."
"You get used to it." EvoKitty said. They got off the elevator and went into the danger room. EvoLogan was the only one there and he was standing in the middle. He held up a hand with his five finger extended. The evokids groaned and started to jog around the room.
"5 laps" EvoRogue said as pulling her alternate self. "It's our warm up before whatever simulation he decided today. By the end of the jog the evokids stood in a straight line, side by side facing Wolverine. EvoKitty had dragged her alternate self to stand beside her and EvoRogue had done the same for her alternate self. "Don't sit down before or after the session or he will make you run more laps at the end of the session."
"Colossus and Ice cube you both have to do 2 more laps at the end of the session for sitting down. The rest of you have to do 2 laps for not helping and informing a fellow teammate of the rules, all except both stripes and both halfpints." EvoLogan said smiling at the groans. "We are going to have some rules for these training sessions. If you have not been told or have not trained with me before you need to know that each training sessions starts with laps usually I just make a hand gesture of how many laps unless you have broken rules or did something wrong in the training session in which case laps will be added at the end of the session. Second, the training sessions will be every other day at 5 am here in the danger room unless told otherwise. Teamwork starts immediately you wake up, it means make sure your teammates are awake and ready to go, you get here together. I will excuse anyone who has a valid excuse but if there is none then all of you have to come to an extra session of my choosing. I choose team leader each training session and they it will be a real mission to be given. There are steps for each simulation, you finish one correctly then you go to the next one. Today's objective is to stop the 'hood from destroying the mall. You will have to save civilian lives and have to be able to stop the 'hood. Wanda since you are usually with the 'hood for today you will be on their side."
"Thanks" EvoWanda said as she walked towards the other end of the room.
"Logan, Storm, Professor X, Kurt and I will be in the viewing platform checking your progress." EvoLogan continued. "Stripes you are team leader. Get a strategy and then then say start." He said walking out of the danger room to go to the viewing platform. EvoRogue groaned and then turned to her team.
"Let see" she started "First, there is going to be about 6 'hood against us." They nodded "I think Kurt vs Toad, since you usually go to fight him anyway." He nodded "The ones we have to worry about the most will be Mystique and Wanda since they have experience and powers to beat us." The nodded "So Laura you will go fight Wanda and Rogue will go with you" they nodded "any chance you have of touch take it and get her unconscious the quicker the better." Rogue nodded "Fred is usually known as the unmovable so Colossus you will have to fight him. By the way he is a big buy you won't miss him." He nodded "Kitty from here you will be fighting Lance, he will be the one creating earthquakes just remember the moves kit has showed you." She nodded "Bobby careful where you freeze and you will fighting Pietro" He nodded "good that leaves Kit with me and we will fight Mystique. If by any chance Logan decides to add Pyro and he does show up, Bobby you will fight him and Kit will fight Pietro." They all nodded "Start!" She said out loud and then the scenery changed to that of a mall, people running and the 'hood making a mess. "Go" EvoRogue said keeping an eye on the civilians that needed saving or protection and looking for Mystique. To Logan's credit he did not put in Pyro and there were less people there running. Of course there were still people there. Immediately EvoKurt charged at Toad and had him out cold in a few minutes. EvoKurt then started to make sure the civilians were leaving and helping out ones that needed help. EvoLaura and Rogue were already fighting EvoWanda who only held back because Rogue was new but use her full potential on EvoLaura who was laughing at how much fun she was having. Colossus was fighting Fred and they were evenly match at least while Colossus got used to fighting. Kitty was holding her own against Lance eve when he created earthquakes. She did look around every once in a while to see if any of the civilians need any help. EvoRogue and EvoKitty had started fighting Mystique and EvoKitty would stop every once in a while to help civilians. Bobby had helped a few civilians but had yet to start fighting Pietro who was still running around.
"Bobby freeze his legs" Kitty said after she got hit by Pietro. Bobby looked around and saw Pietro about to run towards Rogue and so he froze the floor instead, making Pietro slide and trip EvoLaura, Rogue and EvoWanda who got mad and send some of her hexes at him. Evokitty and EvoRogue realized what happened looked at each other and nodded. They usually could read each other in a fight all the sirens can since their days fighting crime at night. EvoRogue took off her glove and touched EvoMystique causing her to go unconscious and they both went to help their teammates. EvoKurt also noticed what happened and had gotten EvoLaura and Rogue out of the line of fire from EvoWanda's hexes. Rogue had been able to touch Pietro and he was out cold. EVoKurt just teleported him next to Toad. EvoKitty was able to get to EvoWanda and distract her while EvoRogue knocked her out with a hit on her neck. The both glared at Bobby who did not realize what he did and kept on checking for civilians. Kitty had been able to beat Lance and Colossus defeated Fred. The simulation ended and they all stood side by side facing the entrance to the danger room, EvoRogue had woke up EvoWanda who was also glaring at Bobby. The doors opened and the group entered EvoLogan looking furious.
"Stripes" He said "front and center" EvoRogue walked to the front. "What was the objective?"
"To stop the brotherhood and protect the civilians" EvoRogue said
"What was the strategy?" He asked
"Kurt and Toad have fought before and Kurt usually beats him so they were to fight. Wanda and Mystique are the most dangerous of the group so they were to be taken out first. Rogue and EvoLaura against Wanda and Kit and I with Mystique. I suspected you might use our 'hood as the enemy and since Lance and Kitty are dating it would make sense to get Kitty to fight him since he usually holds back to avoid hurting her. It may have been the Kitty from here but they do look a little alike. I also made sure that Colossus fought Blob since it would be strength vs strength. Since Pietro would be running around I though getting him with Iceman would be a good strategy since Iceman could freeze his legs."
"Who was helping out civilians?" Strom asked
"Anyone closest to the Civilian since they might still be in danger if the 'hood isn't stopped." EvoRogue said
"3 cool down" EvoLogan said and EvoRogue started to walk around the Danger room. "Wanda you too since you were in the 'hood today and you really need to cool off remember to do your 2 laps jogging." She nodded and caught up with EvoRogue. "Laura" She stepped forward "You did good and even worked in teamwork with Rogue. 3 cool down after your 2 jogging" She nodded and started to jog. "Half pint" She stepped forward "you also did great teamwork with Stripes and even helped civilians along the way, walk."
"Sure thing Mr. Logan" she said as she started to walk.
"Elf" EvoKurt stepped forward "you were not challenged enough since you are already know you can beat Toad but at you did good in helping fellow team members and checking for civilians that needed help. 3 to cool down after the 2 jogs." He just nodded and started his jogs. "The rest of you what did you think of the simulation?" He asked they all groaned while the Evokids chuckled. "Any laughter I hear will be added to your jogs next session." And they stayed quiet.
"It was hard" Kitty said "having to face off with an enemy and also make sure civilians were safe."
"You and Rogue both had it a little easier than the rest. Wanda held back with you Rogue and Lance, even though he was a simulation did also hold back." They both groaned. "But you did do better than I expected I guess you should continue the one on one with your alternate selves and you might be better at these simulations." They nodded " Kitty 3 to cool down" she nodded and started to walk "Rogue you had a few chances to use your powers and get Wanda unconscious what happened?"
"I don't feel comfortable using my powers" She said trying to shrink back.
"That has to change." She looked up "Unless you know it is going to do more harm to you than them you should use your powers. You might be able to use those powers to your advantage and even gain knowledge you didn't think you might get." She nodded "I know those powers are not the greatest to have and that they have gotten you in trouble but they are your advantage especially when you do not know how to fight." She nodded" Other than that you did great. 3 laps to cool down." She nodded and started to walk. "Colossus for being your first time fighting in a simulation you did good just keep on working with Gumbo." He nodded "3 laps to cool off after your 2 jogs." He nodded and started. "Ice cube" He said "Tell me what did you think you were doing?"
"Making sure the civilians were out and safe." Bobby said
"A noble cause but did you help at all with the threat?" EvoLogan asked. Bobby looked down. "I know that Rogue, Kitty and Colossus have been having help with their training. I won't hold it against you but you need to be smart in what you do. You froze the floor causing some of your teammates to lose their balance and might have lost the fight if there was no one else to get them out and take over."
"Was it wrong to make sure the civilians were okay?" Bobby asked suddenly angry.
"Cool it ice cube" EvoLogan said "You helped civilians and that as good but the danger was not neutralized and they could have been in more danger." Bobby nodded "3 laps to cool down after your 2 laps jogging." He nodded and started on his jogs. "Stripes, Laura and Wanda remember you have classes and you will not cut classes today."
"Like I would want to." EvoRogue said as she walked out with EvoLaura and EvoWanda. When everyone walked out of the danger room Storm and Professor X turned to EvoLogan.
"Logan they are not military soldier" Storm said
"But they end up fighting some." EvoLogan said "imagine if they had known all of this when Stryker came here. They could have helped more instead of just running around."
"But they are kids Wolverine" Professor Xavier said
"My team knows what to expect and the next training session aint the same." Was all EvoLogan said as he walked away.
EvoRogue, EvoLaura, EvoWanda, EvoKitty, Kitty, and Rogue.
After taking a shower and getting dressed the girls walked out and headed to the Kitchen.
"That was fun" EvoLaura said.
"That was hard." Rogue said.
"Yeah by the way next session, like put on some sports clothes we will be playing dodge ball and it will be us vs the boys." EvoKitty said.
"How do you know?" Kitty asked
"Logan doesn't like to only train us in simulations but some sports and games can also help with dodging or the like at the same time we are just being teenagers." EvoRogue said
"He started that after he found out about me." EvoLaura said "He didn't like that they raised me as a weapon. No family, no emotions, no attachments."
"Your mother didn't stay with you?" Rogue asked.
"I have no parents." EvoLaura said "I am a clone of Logan. I was created to be nothing more than a weapon. When Logan found out about me he helped me, made sure I was not found by people who would lock me up, use me, or kill me. It's just recently that I decided to join the X-men."
"The way she was raised and the way Logan used to train us was not much different. It was all Military style but then when he found out about her he decided to let kids just be kids every once in a while." EvoRogue said "Rogue, Kitty do you want to come with us?"
"Where?" Kitty asked
"We have class" Rogue
"Like didn't Mr. Logan said not to cut class today?" EvoKitty said
"Yeah" EvoWanda "But I am technically not an X-men and so I don't have to listen to him."
"I always do what I want." EvoLaura said
"To many people in here I don't want to and I just want to get out." EvoRogue said.
"And if you think about cutting classes you will have training sessions every single free time you have and it will be with me." EvoLogan said as he, Storm, Logan, Kurt and Professor X were behind them. "X-men or not you are all going to your classes."
"Come on Logan." EvoRogue "You know I will do the work" EvoLogan just glared at her. "Fine" EvoRogue just kept on walking. EvoWanda and EvoLaura followed her and EvoLogan sighs.
"Half pint keep an eye on her." EvoLogan said
"Okay" EvoKitty said and started walking.
"See you later Logan" Rogue said with Kitty following her.
