Chapter 3-Enter Logan



Dinner wasn't very eventful. All of the kids came up and said hi, but that was about it. After dinner, Xavier, Adam, Jean, Scott, and Ororo went to Xavier's office while Jesse and Emma watched a movie with the kids and Shalimar and Brennan had headed up stairs.

"Shal' , don't you remember how much fun we had before?"

"Yeah, but before I wouldn't have done this," she told him and kissed him.

"Good point."

"Brennan, I guess I just got too comfortable OR at least settled in at home and I didn't think that we'd be back so soon."

"Well, we're back, and...we're together." Brennan pulled Shalimar into his arms and kissed her. "Shal' , I love you."

"I love you, too," she told him kissing him again. They heard one of the other room's door slammed and someone yell for Jean.

"Let's go check it out," Brennan said as he and Shalimar walked out of Brennan's room to see a man they didn't recognize and he didn't look happy.

"Who the hell are you?" he asked.

"Who the hell are you?" Brennan asked back.

"Brennan..." Shalimar said stopping him from causing any more trouble. "I'm Shalimar Fox and this is Brennan Mulwray, we're teachers here."

"Since when? I've been gone, but not that long."

"Logan!" Jean said and hugged him.

"Who the hell said we needed new teachers?" Logan asked gesturing to Brennan and Shalimar.

"Sorry, but there's three more. It's not like you've volunteered to teach any classes."

"And we're only visiting," Shalimar added.

"So, there's more mutants..." Logan started.

"NEW Mutants, actually," Brennan corrected.

"I'll explain later," Jean told him.

"So, Jean. How lucky am I? Are you still with that one-eyed freak?" he asked smiling.

"Yes, Logan. Scott and I are still together."

"Logan, you're back so soon?" Scott asked as he walked up behind Jean. "You and Brennan and Shalimar should get along fine. Why don't you socialize or something?"

"Oh, Jean. Where's my stuff?" Logan asked.

"Sorry, I forgot to set it out. It's boxed up in the closet. We repainted the rooms."

"Thanks."

"Come on, Jean," Scott said putting his arm around her as they head to their room.

"So, apparently we're suppose to become friends, huh?" Logan asked.

"Seems like it," Brennan said.

"So, what's your mutant ability?" Shalimar asked.

"I have the ability to heal myself, plus I've got these," he told them as three metal claws came out of both of his hands. "Got these while I was some lab experiment."

"That's what New Mutants are," Shalimar told him. "All New Mutants would have died if we weren't experimented on, but anyways we all have powers. New Mutants though only have four classifications: elemental, molecular, psionic, and feral."

"Only four types?" Logan asked.

"No. Not exactly," Brennan said.

"For example: Brennan is an elemental, he can do this rocket boy thing and can throw electricity. While Ashley, another elemental, consumes electricity. Or Kelly, can produce a fire wall."

"And what are you?"

"Feral."

"Feral?"

"I have animal DNA mixed in."

"Believe me, you don't want to mess with ferals," Brennan told Logan, "especially a group of them."

"Ferals are the only type of New Mutant that doesn't really change. I've told you about elementals already. Moleculars, like Jesse, who's downstairs can make his body either ghost-like or as solid as stone and now he can phase other things, too. Psionics, like Emma, who's downstairs, too, is a telepath, but you get the picture. If Jean was a New Mutant she would be a psionic."

"I see."

"So, why would we be friends?" Brennan asked.

"So, I have someone new to make fun of," Logan said smiling.

"No, that's Shal's job."

"Along with kicking your butt," she added.

"Well, we'll all have to go at it sometime," Logan told them, "goodnight."

"Goodnight," Shalimar and Brennan said together and then headed back into Brennan's room.
