I woke up at 6:30 ready and got ready to train; there was no way I was going to be late today! I took a fast shower, threw on jogging pants and a tee shirt, swept my hair into a ponytail and was about to go when a knock came at the door.
"Who is it?" I called.
"Logan."
"Oh hang on I was just leaving," I said and opened the door. "Want to get some breakfast before training?"
"What is this? Yesterday you were sayin 'screw training,' and now yer L'il Miss Let's-Not-Be-Late! Tell me ya ain't goin soft on me!" he laughed and leaned against my doorframe.
"Logan, its poor grammar to say 'ain't'. Say 'ai not'. Now let's go because I'm hungry!"
Logan laughed and I followed him down the stairs.

"Let's go you have 30 seconds!" Scott barked once again. "Don't quit on me now, Crow!"
"I'm not, I'm just slowing down!" I called back. I was doing a triceps exercise with 20 lb weights, I had to slow down!
"And let's not sass off to the trainer, OK?"
"Sass off?" I muttered. "Who the hell says sass off?"
"I heard that," Logan grinned as he jogged past me.
"OK, Gambit and Crow switch places and look lively!"
"Gambit been here some odd years, and he still don' un'stand why Scott don' do de exercises eider," he groaned and picked up the weights. "An you tink dat maybe you coul' handle more dan 20 lbs?" he said wryly and picked up a weight with his thumb and forefinger.
"Shut up!" I yelled and side kicked him in the butt.
"OOF! You sho dat you don' have super strengt, eider?"
I laughed and began to punch the punching bag until Scott called time.
"Awriiiight everyone, stretch and cool down, I want to talk to all of you. As all of you know- hopefully," Scott chuckled at his own joke. "Crow has been here for 3 months now, and the professor and I see that she can handle all responsibilities of being a full team member of the X-Men."
Everyone applauded with a few whistles came from Gambit and Bobby, and Rogue slapped me hard on the back. "Welcome to the team, Crow. Ah knew it wouldn't take long for you to make it."
"Ow, uh I mean, thanks," I gasped and cringed a bit. "So does this mean I get to go on missions and stuff like that?"
Scott nodded and continued. "It also means that you get a uniform and a communicator, and such and such. Welcome to the team, Crow," he said and we shook hands. "Would you like to say anything?"
"Um... sure," I said and took Scott's place in front of the people. "How's it goin everyone? Good, that's cool, that's cool. I'd just like to say that I'm really proud to be a member of the X-Men. And really glad too, since you guys have become my friends and accepted me. It means a lot, and I definitely won't be letting you down anytime soon."
"Boooooo! GET OFF THE STAGE!" Bobby joked.
"Shut up Bobby! I'll kick you so hard you'll be pissin blood!" I joked back. "Now look, you made me forget what I was gonna say. God! Way to go! I dunno, it probably wasn't important. Thanks guys," I said and Scott got back into his place.
"Uh... lets hear it for Crow."
Everyone applauded and filed out of the training room for lunch.
"Who is it?" I called.
"Logan."
