A Triangle with Two Tails

Rine looked at the mansion in awe. She had never imagined that she would be able to set foot in a place like this. Kurt tugged on her hand and she soon found herself following him into the huge house. The inside was just as beautiful as the outside. Plenty of open space and rich colors that complimented each other. "Ve can vait for Volverine to get back before finding the Prof.," Kurt said. "Are you hungry Rine?" At the mention of food her stomach rumbled. Blushing slightly she said, "Yeah, I guess I am. I went out earlier to get food, but I got side tracked and had to head back to the zoo on an empty stomach."
Kurt led her into the kitchen and head for the refrigerator. "I'm alvays hungry. Ze other kids make fun of my appetite," Kurt said while he rifled through the fridge. He finally gave up and opened the freezer. Chuckling he turned around to Rine, "Ve have a vide selection this evening. Vould you like jalapeno boxers?" Kurt threw a frozen pair of boxer shorts on the counter. "Eww, tighty whities, I do not want to know who those belong to." Another pair of frozen underwear was added to the pile on the counter. "There's one more pair in here but they are vay in the back." Rine couldn't hold in her giggles any longer. A counter top covered in frozen undies was hilarious enough, but to see Kurt disappear into the huge freezer was just to much. Kurt gave a screech, "Zese are mein. Zat is soo not cool dude." Kurt's accent was coming more pronounced and the hackles on his neck rose slightly. More giggle came from cupboard and Kurt went to open it. Two teenagers, a boy and girl, were crouched inside. They were a couple of years younger then Kurt.
The boy spoke, "Aw, come on Fuzzy. They look pretty cool to me." A flash of fireworks filled the room and when the smoke cleared the two young teenagers were gone. Kurt was muttering to himself as he put the frozen underwear in the sink to defrost. "Zat was Bobby and Jubilee," he told Rine. "He can freeze vater molecules and she's a regular fourth of July." Rine smiled, "I think they're adorable. If I get to stay can I pull pranks like that?" Kurt looked up, an evil expression crawling across his face, "Vant a partner in crime?"
They made themselves a couple of sandwiches, and were sitting there eating and talking softly when Logan walked in. Rine's eyes followed Logan as he went to the fridge to retrieve a beer. He took a big swig then turned to the two of them, "You got a problem there Angel?" Rine's forehead wrinkled in a confused knot, "Angel?" "Yeah Angel. He's Elf," Logan pointed at Kurt. "And with your coloring, well Angel seems to suit you." Logan grunted, took another pull from the bottle and walked out the door. "Prof. Wants to see you in the briefing room," He shot over his shoulder before he was out of hearing range.
When they had finished their late night snack, Kurt led Rine down to the Institute's lower floors. Rine carefully recorded every detail so she would be able to find her way around down here. They finally stopped in front of a large metal door. Kurt pressed his three fingered hand against a key pad, blinking lights and a slight *ding* signaled their entry into the room. Logan was leaning against the wall in a darkened corner, and sitting behind a large oval table was a bald man in a wheel chair.
Kurt pulled Rine's chair out for her and then took the seat right next to her. When they became settle the bald man cleared his throat. "Hello Rine. My name is Charles Xavier, and I don't believe you have been formally introduced to Logan," he said while gesturing in Logan's direction. "I was hoping you could tell us exactly what you are doing here in Bayville, and what your powers are."
Rine's eyes shifted from Xavier, to Kurt, and finally landed on Logan. Taking a deep breath she began her story, "I was born up in Canada. That's where I grew up. A couple of months ago some knowledge was brought to my attention, and I made my way here to Bayville." Rine looked down at the hands in her lap. "Because I look the way I do I knew couldn't blend into normal society, so I hid in the zoo. When I need anything I cover up as best as can and venture out at night to get it. As for my powers, well, I can change. Nothing drastic, but its like I go feral. My nails lengthen, my senses become even more heightened, and my strength increases a little to."
Xavier's eyebrows raised, "Your senses become 'even more heightened'?" Rine looked up to meet his eyes, "Yes sir. My senses are pretty keen to begin with, but when I go feral they become even more so." "Very interesting." Xavier said. "I also have slight regenerative abilities, but not enough to halt the aging process," her eyes flickered to Logan. "I've never been sick, and if I get cut or bruised it heals slightly faster then normal humans."
Logan left his corner and leaned against the table. "All of those mutations have already been recorded in Cerebro. If you had used one of them tonight we would have known about it. So what other powers do you have that you used earlier this evening." Rine met Logan's steely glaze, refusing to back down, "I guess it'll be better if I show you." In the blink of an eye Rine disappeared. Kurt looked around the room amazed. "Is she a teleporter like me?" Logan was making his way around the room slowly, "No Elf. There isn't any smoke, and I can still smell her."
Rine's laughter could be heard from the far corner of the room. "Impresses Wolverine." Before Logan had a chance to advance on her the door swung open. "Professor I was wondering..," Scott stopped in mid sentence. "What's going on?" Xavier wheeled around the table, "Everything's ok Scott. We were just talking." Scott's hidden eyes met with his mentors. "Is that a new student? Were you not going to introduce me?" Logan's head whipped around scanning the room. Rine appeared in the far corner, "You could see me?" She began making her way toward Scott when she became light headed.
Kurt sprang forward and caught her as she almost fell. He lowered her to floor and then retrieved a glass of water from the table. Scott looked confused, "Of course I could see her. She was standing in the corner as plain as day." Rine slowly climbed back to her feet with Kurt's help. "I'm sorry. I guess going invisible two times in one night left its toll on me." She was still looking slightly dizzy so Kurt helped her into a chair.
Xavier made his way over to her, "That's quite impressive my dear. You are the first mutant I've run into with a chameleon ability." Scott was beginning to look even more confused, "What kind of ability Professor?" "A chameleon Scott," he answered. "She can blend in with the environment around her, become invisible. It seems your visor allows you to see her in her chameleon state."
"Professor," Kurt spoke up. "Perhaps we can continue this in the morning? Tomorrow is a Saturday. Rine will have all weekend to get to know everyone before school on Monday." Charles nodded his head, "That's an excellent idea Kurt. I'm sure you and Scott can get her settled in. The room next to yours and Evan is vacant. It also connects through your bathroom if she needs anything."
Xavier and Logan watched as the three teenagers left the room. "Angel," Logan called out right before she turned the corner. She turned around to meet his eyes. "Why were you so quick to leave with Kurt? You didn't even give the Brotherhood a chance." A smirk formed on Rine's face that looked vaguely familiar, "Sixth sense Logan. You should know that better then anyone. Always trust your instincts." The three mutants stepped in the elevator and left.
A low growl started to rumble in Logan's chest. "I have a weird feeling about this Charles. Something about that kid is familiar, way to familiar. I just can't put my finger on it yet." Xavier smiled as Logan left the briefing room. *Yes something in deed is familiar about her. The truth will come out. In time.*
