Author's voice: Greer trying to be a leader :) Love it hate it comments are welcome...JUST NO FLAMES... enjoy
Greer heaved as she performed another triple summersault on the balancing beam. "Beat that..." she grinned at Kurt. She watched carefully as Kurt leaped onto the balancing beam. Ever since she found out Kurt could perform acrobatics with speed and grace that rivaled her own, they have had daily challenges since... Despite not doing cheerleading anymore she still loved it and doing acrobatics with Kurt was one of the few things that reminded her of her old life. Greer watched in anticipation, as Kurt got ready. Smiling he attempted the same trick only to perform a double summersault before falling flat on his face on the balancing beam and crash land on the floor. "Oh my God! Are you ok?" Greer asked picking him up feeling both smug and guilty at the same time. "Aghh... you so haf to teach me that move ja?" "Speaking of moves..." Greer looked up to see a very unkempt and grouchy Logan walking up to her. "Lo...Logan back so soon? How was you're ride with Kitty?" she grinned uneasily her tail whipping back and forth in fear. "Ha! You sent Logan to ride with Kitty? That's rich..." Kurt laughed pointing at Greer. "Shut up elf..." she growled silently. "She sure did... Which reminds me Tigger, I owe you..." Greer lowered her ears...This didn't look good. "You don't owe me...You owe Jean, she said it..." "Elf get outta here..." Logan ordered. "No need to tell me twice! Good luck..." he snickered at Greer and with a "Bmf!" he was gone. Greer gulped as Logan walked closer and closer to her. "Something tells me you're not going to give me detention..." she smiled backing away. Ignoring her, Logan unsheathed his claws. Greer stared at the claws dumbfounded. Had Logan completely lost it? She knew he was mad, but to unsheathe his claws? "Um what are you doing?" Greer asked dumbfounded. "Repaying me debt..."
"Yow!" Greer shrieked as she ducked on of Logan's mad swipes. "C'mon Logan!" (Blocks a punch) "Can't I buy you lunch instead?" she asked flipping sideways to avoid another two slashes. " Less talk Tigger, more attacking. I need a good adrenaline rush so no holding back, both of us can take harder hits than the others and you know it..." Sighing Greer lunged with her might towards Logan deciding the sooner she gave him his adrenaline rush, the sooner he'd let her go. As she was about to land on him, he caught her by the waist and threw her backwards. Growling she landed on all fours perfectly. "You!" (Ducks) "Are!" (Slashes wildly) "Insane..." (Pins him to the ground) "Not bad Tigger..." he grins before kicking her upwards so hard she actually knocked into one of the beams on the wall. Fumbling wildly, not wanting to crash land on the ground Greer quickly sunk her claws into the wall and slid down. Using her height advantage she leaped off and as hard as she could, she slashed Logan across the right side of his face. Grabbing him by the hair she proceeded to kick him multiple times and once in the groin for good measure... "Regret all our personal training sessions now?" she grinned watching him curse under his breath. "Don't get cocky, I was taking it easy on you..." he grinned back before unleashing his claws again. Greer watched in terror as he came charging at her like a madman. Seeing there was no point to tackle him with those claws, she waited till he was right about in front of her before attempting to flip over him. To her surprise, he caught her by the legs and slammed her downwards. Opening her eyes she froze in terror to see Logan about to leap onto her. Quickly she rolled onto her side as Logan landed heavily on where she was just lying. Snarling she tried tripping him with her tail only to have him catch it and yank it forcefully. Getting back up on her feet she proceeded to throw her arms wildly hoping her claws would hit their mark. Instead Logan easily caught both her arms. As he proceeded to throw her, Greer quickly cartwheeled away causing Logan to let go of her arms, ducking his lighting quick slashes and seeing no alternative she performed a backflip over the balancing beam. Pushing it with all her might she rammed it against Logan till he was pinned against a wall. Grabbing his hands before he could use his claws to slice through the balancing beam she head butted him forcefully. "Oww..." they both groaned. Without warning Logan kicked Greer in the chest multiple times causing her to let go and stumble backwards in pain. Slicing the balancing beam in half Logan lunged at Greer so quickly she failed to avoid his brick hard punch. Stepping onto her tail with his foot and forcing her into a squatting position he brought his claws to her neck... "Again..." Logan gruffed. Half an hour later Greer dragged her battered and bruised body back to her room. "Where were you?" Jean asked raising her eyebrows "I needed help with my biology and..." Greer snarled causing Jean to stop in mid sentence. "You and your big mouth..." Greer groaned before collapsing onto her bed.
"Hey Evan stop hogging the milk..." Greer grumbled as she tapped her fingers on the table waiting for him to pass it over. "Yeah how about sharing some of it?" Ray asked smiling. With a confused look on his face, Evan passed the milk carton. "Thanks..." " Hey you ok? You look really...well not yourself..." Greer asked worriedly as Evan gasped in surprise at his own hand. "I'm fine!" he shouted back quickly. Way too quickly. "You sure? You've been really off lately and..." "Why do you even care? Its not like we're friends or anything..." he yelled as he threw his bowl of cereal into the sink. Greer was taken aback. Evan usually wasn't this rude. "I thought we were..." she managed lamely. "Hey Evan aren't you attending that power 8 skate competition?" Ray asked trying to break the tension. "Yeah why?" "Cuz I think it's about to start..." "Crap!" Evan yelled before grabbing his board and running off. "Good luck..." Greer mumbled. "Aren't you going?" Ray asked. "No I have SAT's to worry about..." she groaned. "You go enjoy yourself Ray..." Making her way back to her room she proceeded to take out all her books when Jean burst in looking disheveled and exhausted. "I'm assuming Logan repaid his debt..." Greer laughed evilly wagging her eyebrows. "He sure did...Me and my big mouth..." Jean declared angrily. "So what did he do to you?" Greer asked sitting next to her. "Gave me a one on one against the danger room" Jean groaned. "Well he gave me a one on one with him, claws and all..."Jean placed a pillow on her head. "I'm going back to bed..."Greer laughed. Grabbing her friend by the arm she hauled Jean up. "Greer...Don't do this..." "Sorry Red we have SAT's..."
"Beeepbeeepbeeepbeeep!" Greer slammed her textbooks onto the table. "How does the professor expect me to pass and graduate if alarms go off so often?" she growled. "Greer! Evan's been kidnapped and I have lost contact with Ray! Suit up and assemble the rest of the X men! I want you to lead this mission" the professor's voice rang in her head. "I'm on it...But professor why are you putting me in charge? Why not Scott or Jean? " "Your tracking skills are the key to finding Evan and Ray, also Power 8 is lethal to mutants I need you to ensure everyone's safety..." Greer hesitated she had never led the team before and she wasn't sure she could do it. "Alright..." Everyone was in a state of chaos half an hour later when they all met from different locations at the park's amphitheater. "I say we look there..." "No Evan wouldn't go there..." " How about..." Greer watched as everyone panicked. This was way harder than she thought it would be...Scott always made it look so easy. Plucking up her courage she yelled. "How about everyone listen to me?" That seemed to get everybody's attention. Taking a deep breath she continued. " Ok guys...The last place Evan and Ray were together was at the Power 8 skate competition..." "So why aren't we there?" Storm asked impatiently. "So...I took the liberty of going there before we met here and I followed Evan's and Ray's scent here... That's when things didn't add up..." "What do you mean?" Kurt asked. "Evan's scent got jumbled up with a whole lot of other's people and then they vanished. No scent whatsoever...So..." "So are you sayin' Evan was kidnapped by other mutants?" Rouge asked. "There's no other way to explain it... The only other alternative is that they're underground...So here's what we're going to do. We're going to split into two teams... One team goes with Kurt to find Evan the hard way and the other will follow me to look for Ray... Got it?"
"Anything?" Scott asked nervously. Greer curled her lips. "I don't get it Ray's scent ends here..." "At a manhole?" Jean asked, "Are you sure?" "Positive, unless he went underground...I don't...Get back!" she ordered just in time as a wild surge of electricity burst through the manhole followed by a very terrified Ray. "Ahhh it's you guys?" he yelled crashing into Scott. "Yeah we've been looking for you...What happened?" "Evan's been kidnapped..." "Yeah we know, by who we don't know, so do you know?" Greer asked sarcastically. "Yeah...But we have to go to Spear Industries now! I'll explain along the way..." Ray yelled before running off. "Jean..." "Already on it..." she assured Greer as she sent a telepathic message to the separate group. "So about explaining?" Greer asked panting as she bounded next to Ray. "Evan was taken by my old gang the Morlocks, they kidnapped him after he was poisoned by power 8... He's ok now though..." "So what do they want with Evan?" Scott asked catching up with them. "They live underground and from what I heard Spear's been dumping left over Power 8 into their tunnels." "But that stuff is lethal to mutants..." Greer pointed out. " Exactly... they're pissed off and they plan to use Evan to take down Spear..." The four of them braked as they caught sight of a flaming Spear's industries. "Something tells me they already carried out that plan..." Jean mumbled.
