Mutants 101

..Scott II..
by Michiru

How do I explain in words what just happened here? Lance decided to
drop in for a moment and shake up everything? No, he wasn't here, but he may as well have been.
"You're so joking!" Kurt yells. He looks really freaked.
"Holy," I gasp.
"That's what she says," Rogue answers Kurt.
"This is almost too incredible to be true," The professor even looks
thrown.
I notice how Rogue watches Logan. She's been pretty touchy lately and I
wonder how she's taking all this. She seems ok, but with girls, seems isn't always what you get. I know I wish I could do something to help her.
"That little bitch, "Logan growls. "How could she do this to you?"
"She ain't lyin.... Dad. Ah've been in her head. It's all true," Rogue tells
him in this really strange tone. Kurt looks kinda faint now, and Duncan looks as if he's really enjoying this.
Jerk.
Logan's paled a bit. Trust Rogue to make a production out of even a big
thing like this. She could have talked to him in private...
"I have to go and find her," Logan stalked out.. I see Rogue nod slightly,
an unreadable look on her face. I kind of think that Logan just failed some kind of test. I wish he had stayed to talk to Kurt and Rogue first. They're more affected by this than Mystique.
"Thought so," she murmurs softly, and I don't think anyone else heard
her.
"Logan's my.. he's our father?" Kurt looks totally freaked.
Duncan touches his arm gently, looking a bit worried for Kurt. Go figure.
Maybe he's not an alien after all...
"By blood only, Kurt," Rogue informed him before stalking out. Probably
going to call Risty.
Hey, Kurt, I know this is probably a bad time," Duncan says softly.
Kurt answers by hugging Duncan tightly, burying his face in the jerk's
chest. Duncan puts his arms around him comfortingly. Definitely freaky.
"Excuse me," I say quickly and hurry out, hopefully to find Logan.
I run down the hall, passing Jean. I almost stop.
How could I not stop? She's so incredibly... Wow. Yep, she's incredibly
wow. And hey, if Duncan decides to go for Kurt, more the power to him. He'll leave Jean alone and maybe, just maybe, I will have a shot!!!
But I speed by her anyway, and head outside.
"Logan," I yell, as I see him going into the garage.
Ok, great. He's stopped and looks over at me.
"Logan, can I talk to you for a sec?"
"Can't it wait, Scott?" He looks a bit snarky. Hey, it's a good word for it!
Even if it doesn't really exist. "I have to go find Mystique."
"Do you believe Rogue?" I ask, probing.
"Scott, when we get right down to it, Rogue is what I'd consider a
selective telepath. Her power is unquestionably psychic in nature. She can see completely into a person if she so desires, and can touch them. And things that she might not remember right away can sometimes come out in other ways. Case in point, remembering what happened to Kurt.
"If she believes Mystique, then I won't dispute it."
"So, it's possible," I probably have a really dumb look on my face.
"Yeah, it's possible, Scott," Logan nodded. "Many years ago, Raven and
I lived together in Paris. Not for very long, but I'm sure it was long enough."
"So, maybe, instead of going off on a wild goose chase, looking for a
woman who won't be found unless she wants to be, maybe you should concentrate on something a bit more important, a little closer to home?" I ask him in a faintly suggesting tone..
Logan gives me a really weird look.
The look goes on long enough that I begin to feel really uncomfortable.
I mean, REALLY.
"I think you might be right," Logan nods slowly.
"I am?" I ask stupidly.
"Yeah, kid," Logan gives me that little grin of his. He walks away
Wow. I convinced him, somehow...
