X-men and Ranma crossover
Claws

Prologue
*************
Ranma was in shock. The huge cut that Moose had given him yesterday during their fight was gone. It didn't make any sense. It had been a deep one, almost down to the bone along his upper arm, and now, there wasn't even a scar to show that it had ever been there. In all his sixteen years, nothing like this had ever happened to him. Sure, a lot of weird things had happened, but never something like this. It was almost as shocking as the first time he had transformed into a girl.
"Ranma, would you like me to change the bandages on your arm?" Kasumi called through the door to his room.
"Come in Kasumi." He called and the oldest Tendo sister entered with a first-aid kit. Settling down on the floor next to his futon, she opened the box and started pulling out some bandages and ointments.
"Um, Kasumi, I don't need any bandages for my cut." He said and she looked at him in confusion.
"But, you can't just leave a cut that deep alone and expect it to get better." She protested and started gathering the bandages again.
"I don't have a cut any more." He said and she looked at him in shock. Showing her the arm, she gasped in shock. Grabbing his arm, she studied it closely, moving it this way and that to look at the area from all angles.
Finally she looked up and said, "We need to get to Dr. Tofu's clinic right away."
They walked into the doctor's office twenty minutes later with Kasumi leading the way. "Dr. Tofu. We need your help with something." She called and the door to Tofu's office opened abruptly.
"Kasumi! It's nice to see you again!" he exclaimed, his glasses already fogged over.
"There is no time for pleasantries, Dr. Tofu. This is an emergency." She said firmly and suddenly his glasses defogged and his face grew serious.
"What can I do for you?" he asked as he led them into his office.
Motioning Ranma to tell him, Kasumi sat in a chair and smoothed her dress. "Well, um, I got a really deep cut yesterday in a fight with Moose, but this morning when I went to re bandage it, it was gone. There's no trace of it besides the blood on the bandage." Ranma said and Tofu looked at him sharply.
"It healed over night?" he asked sharply and Ranma nodded slowly. "I'll need a sample of your blood." He said and pulled out a needle. Within a few minutes, Tofu was studying the blood under his microscope. "Well, I think I know what happened, but to prove it I need to do something first." Tofu said as he looked up at the two waiting people.
"What do you need…ouch!" Ranma yelped as Tofu abruptly slashed him with a scalpel. "What did you do that for?!" he shouted but Tofu abruptly motioned him to look at the cut. Before his astonished eyes, the blood flowed back into the cut and then the cut resealed itself. Turning terrified eyes to the doctor and Kasumi, he asked, "What does this mean?"
"It means, Ranma that you are a mutant." Tofu said and Kasumi wrapped her arms around him in a reassuring hug.
"But I can't be a mutant!" he protested and Tofu just shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but it's not something you can help. You are a mutant and that's all anyone can say about it." Tofu said and Kasumi nodded.
Pulling away from them, Ranma said, "I need to be alone for now." and ran out the door. As he left the clinic, he was unaware of two groups watching him.
"Are you sure we should just let him wander around like that? I mean, if he heals like Logan, than he can be a great asset to the X-Men." Cyclopes said into his communicator.
'I know, Scott, but think back to when you were his age. You wanted some time to think about what was happening to you, if you would remember.' Charles Xavier's voice said coming from the X shaped communicator on Cyclopes' chest.
"I see your point. I'll keep following him. Cyclopes out." He said and removed his fingers from the X. he was currently standing on a roof across the street from the doctor's office that Ranma had come out of. Now, he adjusted his trench coat so that his uniform wasn't showing anything besides his yellow boots, and pulled his hat lower so that his visor was as visible, and jumped down to the street to follow him.
'Target identified as Ranma Saotome, age sixteen. Mutant power appears to be healing like Wolverine.' A voice said over a communicator held in the ands of a black clad figure who was standing in the shadows of a building.
"Orders?" the man said and the voice was quick to say, 'Capture
the target. This time we will succeed where we failed with Logan.'
Nodding to himself, the man turned to the half dozen shadows behind him and snapped, "You heard him, X-Factor move out."
Unaware of the people following him, Ranma walked into the park and sat down in his favorite place under a tree at the edge of the lake.
'What am I going to do?' he thought to himself as he pulled his legs up to his chest and put his chin on them. 'I've always been told that mutants are evil, dirty people, but I'm not evil or dirty so how can I be a mutant'
He sat there for a while, just staring out at the water as the sun slowly approached its zenith. Then from behind, something alerted him to jump out of the way just as two men went to grab him.
"Who the hell are you guys?" he snarled, in no mood to be attacked.
"We're from X-factor and you are coming with us." The lead man said and Ranma shook his head.
"I don't think so." He snarled and took out six of the seven guys in front of him, but the last one fired something at him from a type of gun before he could go for him. The thing stuck to his chest and as he looked at it, the wires stuck in the goop electrocuted him and he passed out.
The man stood over Ranma for a moment before he signaled for the jet to pick them up. Moments after it landed, it took off with the X-factor men and Ranma inside, on their way to the X-factor laboratory in the Canadian wilderness.
Cyclopes had been knocked out before X-factor had even attempted to grab Ranma. They didn't want to start a war between X-Men by killing their leader so they knocked him out so that he wouldn't interfere.
Now, he was just waking up as the jet left, leaving him alone in the park. "Professor, I'm sorry, but another group knocked me out and took Ranma." He said as he touched his communicator.
'That's all right Scott. We can use Cerebro to find him again. Come on home.'
Signaling the Blackwing, Cyclopes wearily headed home to upstate New York and the home base for the X-Men at the Xavier School for the Gifted.
I know, this is really short. Much shorter than any other chapter I have written I believe. Sorry about that but the next chapter will be longer, I promise. This has been an idea that has been circling my head ever since I saw the movie in the theater and saw a couple episodes on TV. I had to write it.
