Please review. If you don't then Stryker gets one step closer to finding Logan and Victor.

Logan found Victor in the kitchen, eating toast he had smothered with grape jelly. He had ear phones on connected to a battered grey and blue CD player. Logan had seen Kitty with it a few days earlier and figured she had given it to Victor to help him kill some time and broaden his music horizons as well.

"What's she got you listening to?" the younger asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Some band named Bush," Victor replied as he took the head phones off and let them hang around his neck.

"Any good?"

Victor just shrugged "It's fine, at least it isn't N*Sync," he said and he and Logan shuddered. "So guess who I bumped into this morning, literally."

"Jesus?" Logan asked and Victor rolled his eyes. "Not unless you think four eyes is gonna save us all," Victor said.

"Not really, specially not us," the younger replied.

"He wanted to fight me," Victor said and Logan shrugged. "Did you?"

"No, I don't have enough money to pay Xavier for the damages," he said. "But I heard Xavier and him talking after I walked away and I think there's something more going on than him just being a prick."

"What did you find out?"

"Not much, Xavier just said that we weren't him and Scott said that we could snap and turn into him," Victor explained.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Logan asked.

"No clue, but I think it might be in our best intrest to ask around before Scott's the one that snaps," the older said and Logan nodded in agreement.

"Where are they dammit?" Stryker yelled as he slammed his fist down on the map on the table. He had been on their trail for days, they had been tired, hungry, injured and making more and more mistakes. Stryker had almost had them and then they disappeared off the face of the planet.

Victor and Logan had been nothing but trouble, he should have left them to rot in the cell in 'Nam. When they had walked away during that final mission in Africa he should have told the rest of the team to go after them and kill them. But he had waited too late and they had escaped again.

He'd had high hopes for the two feral mutants, he had thought they would be vicous animals under his control but he hadn't exected them to have a human side that hated what was happening more than their animal side. He had ordered Victor to break the leader of the tribe's neck just because he wouldn't tell Stryker what he wanted.

Victor just looked at Logan and they had done that talking without talking or telepathy thing that they did all the time. Then Victor had released the man and walked over to stand by Logan, the rest of the team looking at them with a mix of relief, shock, and disgust.

Stryker had called out for Zero and there was a shot, the man Victor had been ordered to kill fell to the ground with a bullet between the eyes. The camp had erupted into chaos and the brothers had done their best to contain what was happening and save as many tribes members that they could. They had walked away after the chaos settled down with the dirt in the air.

"How could they just disappear, I almost had them," Stryker yelled and he began to pace as he racked his brain for where they could be hiding. He'd had his men go over every inch of that forest and they had come up with nothing, it was as if the two hadn't existed. There was nothing, not even a strand of hair or a drop of blood left of the two.

He growled, he would capture them and then their power would be under his control, this time for good.

"Ugh, maybe deciding to stay and teach wasn't such a good idea," Kitty said as she watched the kids file out of the room. It was the last class of the day and she was more than ready to relax for the weekend.

"It'll get easier with time," Scott said with a chuckle.

"Yea right," she replied with a tired sigh.

"Hey come on, you'll get the hang of it after a while, it isn't that hard, and I know you'll be a great teacher," he tried to reassure her.

"Yea, I know it's just frustrating sometimes," she said as she gathered her things. "I'll see you later, I'm gonna go hang out with Victor before dinner."

"Kitty!" Scott called as she ran over to the door.

"Yea?"

"Be careful," he said not liking that she insisted on being around the feral.

"Oh come on Scott, Victor's great," she said.

"Promise me you'll be careful," Scott said ignoring her reply.

"Ok, ok I'll be careful," she said and Scott nodded, she turned and rolled her eyes as she left the room, leaving Scott alone with his mistrust.
