"Kurt!"  Professor Xavier yelled as he saw his furry student's body fall to the floor, and was now void of movement. 

"Quickly!"  The Professor looked to Logan, "Logan, go and attempt to contain the new genetically engineered mutants!  Do not allow any others to emerge!" (A/N I felt that because they were created in a lab, they were not to be considered "real"…Mystique and the brotherhood think of them as instruments, rather than equals in the mutant race, so that's why they don't have names…no, actually I just got lazy and forgot, but that is a good explanation, don't you think?  There ya go Casey, another A/N dedicated to you =)  Feel special!  lol! =)  ) Logan nodded briskly and sprinted in the direction of the test tube room.  "I'll go try and revive Kurt, the rest of you, hold off Mystique.  Jean, could you move me over, next to Kurt?"  Jean nodded,  "Alright everyone, move!"  Jean floated the Professor over to Kurt and he checked the elf's vitals.

A pulse!  His breathing was shallow, but he was alive, though barely.  He wouldn't last long though, he was in desperate need of medical attention.  He looked around at the battle that was forming.  Five against two, in the X-Men's favor, but one of their opponents possessed the gifts of multiple others. 

As the competitors squared off, Mystique took out a small communicator.  She spoke quickly.

"Lance!  Pietro!  Gather the others come to the warehouse immediately!"  She hurriedly put it away and assumed a battle stance.  This was a good sign…she wanted backup.  There was a chance that her super mutants were not invincible.  

"Go!"  Mystique ordered the mutant to attack.  With the speed of Pietro, the mutant came up behind Kitty and grabbed her in a suffocating hold.  Kitty escaped unharmed, but a little shaken, by phasing though the mutant. 

"Like, get away!"  Kitty stumbled backwards as the mutant, realizing what she had done, turned and, growling, charged her. 

It was checked by Scott, who blasted it into the wall of the warehouse.  The effort used up the remaining strength he had, and he had to lean on a nearby wall for support, his arm throbbing.  The impact severely damaged the wall, but not the mutant.  The mutant, without so much as a groan, rose and tackled Storm, who, along with all the other, non-genetically engineered, mutants, was looking in the direction of the test tube room, for from which, noise of another battle was radiating. 

Logan had arrive in time to see one super mutant stretching in a heap of glass and fluid and another, identical to the first, awake and attempting to claw its way out of its oversized test tube. 

Logan looked at the mutant, derived from his friend's genes and sneered.

"No resemblance whatsoever."

Logan's comment alerted the mutant to his presence.  It growled and launched itself at Wolverine, knocking over a machine attached to one artificial womb, severing several wires that connected the machine to the test tube.  Logan easily dodged the attack, managing to injure the mutant, though superficially, on its back.  His eyes were then draw, not to the mutant he was battling, but to the developing mutant in the test tube.  Logan watched as it writhed in pain, contorting it ill-formed body into grotesque positions.  He heard it scream in agony, saw its chest constrict, as if attempting to take in much-needed air and finally, saw its body go limp, its screeching ceased.  It was dead. 

With Logan being preoccupied, the mutant he had been battling had picked itself up and went over to assist its "sibling" in emerging from the artificial womb.  The crack of the glass was the thing that brought Logan back into reality. 

As the second mutant emerged from its confinement, Logan quickly glanced around.  He saw that many of the other mutants were stirring.  One near to him was attempting to break free. 

"Not today, bub."  Logan growled as he slashed through the wires attaching the test tube to its machine, receiving the desired result.  The mutant screeched and writhed for a time, but soon was dead. 

Logan ran down the row, slashing the wires as he went.  Each mutant exhibiting the same actions as the first.  All dying. 

The two mutants who had escaped that fate heard the cries of the other, and ran after Wolverine, who had just severed the live force of the last mutant that was developing in a test tube. 

The two mutants approached him, one to his right and one to his left, growling.  Logan glanced at each.

Logan looked to the one on his right and asked, "You wanna dance?"  Looked to the one on the left, "Let's go."

He barred his claws and waited for one to jump him.  He was waiting for the wrong attack.  The one on the left telekinetically picked Logan up, while the other used an optic beam to blast him through the wall, into the hallway. 

Logan laid in a pile of rubble from the wall, reeling from what had just happened, as the two approached, fangs barred…
