"The Two Weasels"
Please enjoy and review!
After Charles had explained everything about the school he had built years ago to be a safe place for children to learn how to control their powers and get a proper education, he had asked Davey to take Logan to his room.
Sending an image of the room and it number into the girl's mind, Charles sent Davey off to take Logan to his room before she went off to her classes for the day.
Locating the room, Davey opened it and walked inside, showing it off to Logan.
"Here we are. There are some fresh sheets in the closet here. Scott should be up with your bags in a few minutes." Davey told him.
Nodding at that, Logan then watched as the girl walked around the room, opening the closet the show off where the sheets where located.
"So, you mind explaining why you're called Black Kat when you're not one." Logan said.
Glancing over to the man, Davey saw that he was curious over this fact and was frustrated that he didn't know anything about it.
She supposed that as an amnesiac, Logan hated not knowing the full story behind certain facts.
It really wouldn't be a bother to explain the origins of her code name to him, after all, it wasn't a large secret and if it helped him to open up and stop being so rude, she didn't see the issue in it.
"Okay, well, after I came here, I found out that the breed of animal I am is a type of weasel called a binturong. Another name for the animal is a bearcat. Also, my middle name happens to be Kat. I thought it would be a fun little play on words. Also, there are no good names for someone with weasel DNA." Davey explained.
Listening to her words as he sat down on the queen sized bed that was in the room; Logan took them in and realized two things.
The teen in front of him was a clever and playful little thing, but she also could be quite conniving and obviously liked to mess with people.
"Well, it makes more sense than how I got my name. Actually, I have no idea how I became the Wolverine." Logan said as his hands tightened into fists on his knees.
Remembering the long metal claws that the man had held out threateningly towards her earlier that day, Davey then thought over what she knew about wolverines.
They were a large breed of weasel, just like binturongs, and were known as skunk bears or even nasty cats.
Wolverines were also solitary creatures and didn't play nice, they were known to take on animals that were larger than they were and had large claws and fangs.
Based on personality alone, it made sense as to why Logan had somehow gained the name Wolverine, but she supposed that it had more to do with his powers than anything else.
"Maybe it's the claws." Davey said suddenly.
Stunned that the girl had actually said responded to what he had told her, Logan looked at her and down at his knuckles where his claws came out of.
"What about them?" He asked.
"Have you ever seen a wolverine's claws before? I would not want to get sliced up by those things." Davey scoffed.
Her tail was swishing about, displaying the amusement she held in her tone as she spoke of the subject.
Staring on at the girl, Logan then allowed his claws to slide out of his knuckles, slowly, displaying them.
"Yeah, you really wouldn't want to get sliced up by these." He chuckled.
Curiosity taking over, Davey walked over to the bed where Logan sat and kneeled down to get a better look at the claws.
She found that the skin around the area his claws came out was red, obviously sore, but there was no blood.
"Doesn't that hurt?" She asked him in concern.
Hearing what the girl had asked him, Logan had to force himself not to grin.
She and Rogue were the first two people to have ever asked him that question before.
Rogue had asked out of curiosity to keep the conversation going so she could learn more about the man she had hitched a ride with.
As for Davey, someone who had been around many mutants and seen how their powers worked, she had asked the question out of concern for him.
"All the time, but I've gotten used to it. Besides, I heal faster than most people, so it's not a big deal." Logan shrugged.
Taking the words in, Davey began to realize that one of Logan's powers was that he could regenerate skin tissue at a rapid pace, healing injuries soon after he received them.
Sliding the claws back into his knuckles, and noticing that Davey was staring intently at the wounds that sealed over within seconds with amazed eyes, Logan cleared his throat to get her attention back onto his face.
"Okay, so, you know about my powers. Now tell me about yours. What exactly can you do? Or is this just it?" Logan asked as he gestured to her tail and ears.
Scoffing at that, Davey got up from her kneeling position and crossed her arms as she stood in front of him.
"I got these when I was 11. Have you ever grown out a tail before? 'Cause, let me tell ya, not a pleasant experience. I'm surprised nobody called the police with all of the screaming I did." Davey said.
That statement made Logan frown, trying to image what sort of pain it was like for your own tail bone to grow out of your skin, becoming an actual tail that became an amazing length and gained flesh and fur over it.
When Logan's claws came out, it was quick and he had his healing factor to help him, but from the small scars that he noticed on the girl's arms from past battles, he was able to deduce that she didn't have the same ability he had.
"So, what are your powers? I mean, what were they before this happened?" Logan asked her.
Instead of giving an answer, Davey simply smirked as her eyes flashed pale pink and the shadows rose up around her body, swallowing it whole and dragging her down into the ground.
"What the hell?" Logan exclaimed as he jumped to his feet.
Walking over to where the girl once stood, he tried to sniff her off, find where she had gone off to, but he couldn't track her.
A whistle was then heard, catching his attention and he whipped around to find the girl sitting on his window sill, grinning widely and twiddling her fingers at him in hello.
Confused over what he had seen, Logan glanced from the ground, then over to the window where the girl was located.
"How did you do that? What was that?" He demanded.
Climbing down from the window sill, Davey then walked back over to where Logan was standing.
"I have control over shadows and darkness. I can bend it to my will and do whatever I want with them. Teleport, create shields, blast people away with some kind of shadow balls. Oh, and there's something new that I've been trying to learn how to control. It's like some kind of possession type thing." Davey said.
"Possession?" Logan raised an eyebrow at that.
Unknown to him, the girl's shadow stretched out from under her feet and expanded over his shadow, merging with it.
Lifting her arm, Davey watched as Logan did the same, making the man watch with stunned eyes, unable to believe that he had no control over his body.
"What is this? Are you doing this to me?" He demanded.
"This is something called shadow possession. I can stretch out my shadow and merge it with yours, taking control over your body. That I found out by accident when I was attacked." Davey explained.
She then released her hold on Logan, feeling tired from the control she had over him.
Shadow possession was a power she discovered when she was in the Digital World with Veemon one day.
They had been traveling around, wanting to see the changes that had happened over time after MalpMyotismon's defeat.
An IceDevimon had appeared and attacked them, badly injuring a Digivolved ExVeemon who had tried his best to protect his partner, but the Ultimate level was too powerful for him.
When IceDevimon was about to attack Davey, her shadow had expanded and merged with the Fallen Angel's shadow, keeping him frozen in place and unable to attack her.
Realizing that she had him trapped, Davey then gathered up the energy in her hands and sent out a blast of black and pink energy, knocking him away.
Amazed with the girl's power over darkness, IceDevimon had simply bowed t the girl, showing his respect for her power before he then left.
The experience had been a confusing one, but Davey was quick to gather up ExVeemon and teleported them back to the Digi-Port where they returned back to the school in case IceDevimon decided to come back.
They later on found out that IceDevimon had met his end by the hands of Angemon and Angewomon when he found the DigiDestineds spending time at the beach on File Island.
Shaking off the memory of that event, Davey then turned towards the door when she caught the familiar scent of Scott.
The man walked into the bedroom, carrying two large bags in his hands.
"Hey, everything okay in here?" He asked.
Although she couldn't see it, Davey knew that Scott's eyes were roaming over her form to make sure she wasn't harmed and that she was scared.
Honestly, the man was such a mother hen, even if he tried so hard to deny it.
"Yeah, everything's fine, Scott. I was just telling Logan more about the school. Which reminds me, lunch is at 12:00 pm. You'll be able to see Rogue at that time." Davey informed Logan.
"Right, thanks." Logan said.
Grinning up at him, Davey then made her way over to the door and passed by Scott, sending the man a small smile before her body sunk into the shadows and she teleported off to her room to get her bag for class.
"Does she do that all of the time?" Logan questioned.
"You get used to it after a while. Why? Does it creep you out?" Scott asked as he set the bags down on the floor.
"Maybe a little bit." Logan admitted.
"Everyone feels that way. Anyway, uh, bathroom is down the hall if you need it. I'm sure the Professor will send someone to show you to the kitchen later." Scott said.
With his job done, Scott then started making his way out of the room, closing the door behind him.
"Wow, you two are terrible at conversation." Someone spoke.
Jumping in surprise, Scott turned to find Davey standing down the hall, her back pack slung over her shoulder and Veemon standing at her side, munching on what looked to be a rolled up pancake.
"Shouldn't you be in class right now?" Scott asked as he walked over to the duo of Miracles.
"I wanted to make sure you two didn't try to kill each other. You didn't exactly have a good first meeting." Davey stated.
"Didn't sound like it to me." Veemon commented.
Rolling his eyes at the girl and her dragon, Scott then gave Davey a stern expression.
"I can handle myself, so you don't have to worry about me. Now, would you please get to class? You're going to miss the rest of first period if you don't hurry." He told her.
"All right, all right. I'm on my way. See you for third period." Davey waved.
She was then consumed by the shadows, being taken away to her first class along with Veemon.
That girl was difficult to deal with at times, but she was good with the younger students and was an important member of the team, so Scott figured he couldn't really complain.
