Chapter 21
"Wow Ryu what a great club." "I knew you would like it. I saw this place while we were walking home from school." "I know I shouldn't bring up team business but did you see the way Rahne was looking at you Ryu ?" "She's not my type Kitty besides you're my girlfriend not her and fur is not my style." "Well why don't we hit the dance floor ?" "Sure thing Ryu."
Meanwhile at the mansion Rahne was getting board waiting for everyone to come home when Logan walks up behind her. "What's up squirt ?"
"Mr. Logan I didn't know you were here ?" "You look like something is on your mind ?" "Well Mr. Logan I am just board. Ryu and Kitty are on a date, Tabitha, Amara, and Jubilee are at the mall and Bobby, Roberto, and Jamie went to the arcade." "Let me guess you're so used to Ryu giving you guys training practically everyday that you don't know what to do now that you have free time ?" "You got it." "Well how about I give you some private training ?" "You would do that for me ?" "Sure kid why not ? It might not be as intense as training with Ryu but I can still give you a workout."
"It's strange Professor." "What is Jean ?" "The way Rahne was upset about there not being any training scheduled for the New mutants after this morning. You would think she would be happy for not having to go through that torture Ryu calls training. Instead she's upset that there she was not training today." "I think it may be more then that Jean ?" "How's that Professor ?" "The fact that all her friends are usually together and now they all went to do different things leaving her with no one here." "I never thought of it that way."
After four hours Kitty and Ryu return to the mansion to find Rahne with Logan pined on the ground. "Are you alright Logan ?" "Sure kid I'm fine just thought I'd spar with one your team to see how tough they really are." "I am surprised Rahne didn't throw you through a wall. She is the toughest of the group." "Well kid I can see why. She doesn't even try to hold anything back." "I always said she's our version of you. Ready to jump at the opportunity to take someone on." "That is a scary thought kid." "Well the only difference between you and her would be what your bones are made off."
"My bones aren't made of adamantium they're bonded with adamantium." "How the hell is that possible ? I mean how did you not die of metal poisoning ?" "If it wasn't for my mutant healing factor I would be dead kid." "You didn't do that to yourself did you ?" "Why the fuck would I do that kid? I have no goddamn clue who did this to me. If I did they would be sorry they were ever born !" "Well if you ever find out who did it I'll be right there with you to show those dishonorable punks a new way to perform chiropractic care." "Thanks kid I'll let you know if I do."
"Well we're back. Too bad you were on a date kitty they had some great sale at the shoe store." "Maybe next time Tabitha. Ryu thanks for dinner I had a great time." "Your welcome Kitty lets do it again sometime."
