Chapter Ten: Training with Wolverine and Scott.

Serena and Rini sat talking on the bench just outside the bar she and Darien ran into the night prior. They were smiling and laughing and Serena was fixing Rini's usual hair style, making it look more fresh. It was a regular loving scene of a mother and daughter, well that was until Darien walked up and Serena stopped smiling. Rini jumped up and ran into Darien's arms.

"Daddy!" Rini squealed. Darien lifted her up into a warm embrace but kept his eyes on Serena a second too long and she stood up, ready to make a quick exit.

"Rini! How are you doing little one?" Darien beamed at the pink hair child in his arms. Even though all three of them knedw the Rini was no longer Darien's daughter, he was still the only father figure in her life that she was used to. The one she grew up with all of her life. So they all still followed the familiar routine of family, whether or not Serena or Darien were comfortable with it. Rini had left to go back to the future after Darien had left to go to the states for college. She knew the whole situation and understood it but did not accept it. It seems that after living in the future has helped her to get passed that. Trista was right, this was the right path for the child.

Serena came back to reality when she heard Darien say her name.

"Serena. Will you be staying with us?" She looked at him calmly, for Rini's sake. She gave a soft smile and shook her head.

"No this will be your guys's time together. We can meet up tomorrow and do something with her. We can take her to the beach."

"Oh the beach sounds fun!" Rini said excitedly. Darien set her down and Serena handed him Rini's bag and Rini grabbed her purse. "We'll see you tomorrow mommy!" With their goodbyes, Serena watched them leave and drive off. Serena walked to the jeep and headed for the institute. She decided to train with Logan tonight to release some pent up anger.

Serena entered the institute just after five pm and to her luck walked right into Logan as she passed through the door. With her always faithful quality, her klitziness came through and she bumped herself to the ground. Only sound that came from Logan was a "humph" as her body bounced off his. She looked up and smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry, i think I was in too much of a hurry to find you and was distracted by my thoughts." Her hair fell over her shoulders and around her on the floor, her skirt slid slightly up her thighs revealing a little more than she normally did. Not including what she wore in high school. Originally this skirt was to her knees and now it fell to just a hand and a half length down from her. Logan groaned in half irritation and the other half even he didn't know. He held out his hand and she took it. He lifted her up with ease.

"So what were you looking for me for?" He asked her looking down at her as she straightened herself up.

"I want to train right now." He gave her a raised eyebrow.

"Why?"

"I have anger issues and need a good release and if training will help me then so be it. Plus if it helps us to figure out where that light came from in me then we're getting two birds with one stone." He continued to assess her. He took a minute to think about it.

"What about your head?" He asked after a few droned out minutes.

"It'll survive. I've taken worse." He gave another cocked eyebrow.

"And your daughter? Where is she?"

"With her -...with Darien. He played a big part of her life growing up. I couldn't deny her time to see him." She didn't want to talk about that so she walked passed him and up the stairs. "I will be down in five minutes in a better set of clothes and then we'll start. I'll meet you in the Danger Room." Logan shook his head slightly, already figuring out the source of her anger. He walked to the Danger Room in hopes to bump into Scott to pull him into this as well.

Serena walked into her room and shut the door. She shed her skirt and shirt and retied her hair up in a tight bun. She walked around her bed in her panties and bra and while walking unclipped her bra and dropped that to the floor as well. She grabbed a sports bra, shorts and a towel. She planned on going all out on this one.

She entered the training room and looked around. She found Logan speaking to Scott by an elevator door and she walked over to them. Logan turned to Serena just as she walked up to them. He was definitely shocked by what he saw, but like always never let his face show any expression. She had an extremely well toned stomach, flat, with just the right muscle. He legs were as equally toned. Her arms as well. Every time he seen her she was dressed serenely and petite. The woman hid her body well.

"So what are we starting with?" She asked them both.

"Well we're going to start with level one. We don't know what you're capable of so we're going to the 'll start off easy and then work you up until it gets to intense for you or you tire out and wish to stop." explained Scott, crossing his arms over his chest. She could see herself reflected in his red sunglasses.

"Sounds reasonable." She responsed back to him.

"Alright, we get started in two. We'll watch you from the look out as we control each level. We'll let you know what to look out for but not when or where things will strike. First few levels are to help you learn to watch your back. After that you learn to defend and then attack. We might not get to the attack levels today though. Those are the highest levels."

"Has anyone reached the highest levels?" She asked them with innocent questioning.

"Logan and I are at the top at level eight. Ok Serena, get ready. Center of the room. We're going to lock you in here." Scott and Logan walked into the elevator and then the walked to the window in the look out. Waving to her to make sure they had her attention. She nodded and then focused around the room. She tuned everything out and except what was going to be going on in this room. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath and then let it out slowly.

She heard the sound of metal clicking behind her and she spun around to see a double set of lazer guns coming out of the walls. They pointed right at her and then shot. She dodged each lazer by jumping backwards all acrossed the room. It was following her, but it never predicted where she would move to. It was intent on trying to get her. She deducted that Logan nor Scott were controling the lazers. After dodging the lazers that popped out of the walls for nearly ten minutes which to her seemed like forever, they went back into the walls and all was quiet. She stood still, eyes twitching back and forth and then Scott's voice came over the intercom.

"Level two Serena, these will be much more dangerous, but you're still only dodging."

Serena nodded that she understood and listened for what may come next. The sound of clicking and grinding metal came up from the floors and ceilings and before she knew it she was running and dodging large, spinning blades. She jumped to her left and nearly missed the second blade behind it and with her Sailor Moon strength did a flip in the air to give her an extra boost of air to get over the extra blade. She landed on her feet, one knee to the ground, palms down. She looked up and did a few backwards flips to move away from a nearing blade. She came up to the wall and then ran along side of it as more razor sharp disks flew out, following closely behind her. Then all sounds ceased.

"Level three. Are you ready Serena?" asked Scott over the intercom. She nodded and before she knew it she was running around, jumping and flipped past the lazers and disks. They had combined the last two levels together. She enjoyed the challege. It was forcing her breathing to get a little heavier than her regular breathing. She could feel her scout energy inside her. It was at a low roar. The power barely built up inside. Though small it was there.

"Jumping you to level four, Serena. You're doing really well. We've been at this for nearly fourty-five minutes and your not even breaking a sweat. We're monitering your vitals and your heart pace barely has risen. It seems that dodging and being aware of your surrounding is at its best. You will be doing defending now." She looked up at both the men in the watch room. Scott was leaning over the controls and Logan stood there with his arms crossed with a small smirk. He could barely tell if she was impressing him or if he was being smug.

"Give me everything you've got." She responded to him.
