Chapter Seven
Field Trip.
Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, or better known as Magneto walked across a bridge followed by his right hand man.er..woman Mystique.
"Have you made all the arrangements?" he asked.
"Yes, I have personally seen to all of them. They have all..er willingly pledged their loyalties to us."
He turned to face her and said, "You sound hesitant. Mystique?"
"Well all except Raven, but I have seen to it and she has been replaced." She said nervously, not sure what he would think of this.
"An unfortunate thing, but we will manage. Call everyone in for a meeting; we have many things to discuss before the big day is here."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"The big day is here!" said a happy Jean. "Have you all got everything?"
Logan snorted in disgust, Jean was way too perky at this time of the morning for his liking. More precisely the crack of dawn. Normally he wouldn't have minded but he seemed to have trouble sleeping, infact these days he had been very snappy, more so than normal.
He was feeling extremely frustrated, physically and mentally, and it didn't help him knowing that the cause of his angst was Raven. Without even realizing it Wolverine had fallen for the feisty thing.
He snapped his attention back to reality when the object of his thoughts came jogging up to Jean and exchanged a friendly hug. The two of them had grown very close over the two weeks that Raven had been here.
"Hey Jean, all set?" asked an excited Raven.
"Yup I've got all the kids luggage loaded up, and eh. Raven I wanted to talk to you about something. Maybe we could later?"
"Ok, now before you leave for your fun filled week in Washington I want to get a few things straight." Said a very much in control Scott.
"Now I want the six of you" He said eyeing the students that were shifting through various degrees of sleep, excitement and boredom. "To be on your best behavior while you're all gone. Now just because I won't be going with you, doesn't mean I won't kick your ass if I find out you've been misbehaving. You should be very grateful that Logan, Jean and Raven have agreed to take you all." "Despite what you all think this is a school excursion. You are being given a privilege as senior students. That's all. Have fun" finished Scott.
"Oh yeah" said a cheerful Jubilee elbowing a slightly sleepy Rogue. "Washington here we come."
"Talkh ta meh aftah ah have mah missin 2 hours ah sleep," she growled.
*Yaa..ah, yawned a sleepy Kurt. "I vill be very haapi as soon as I vake up"
"Alright! If you keep on whining like this we'll cancel the trip." Growled Wolverine. That got everyone's attention and soon they were all quietly shuffling into the bus they were using as transportation.
Raven looked up with twinkling eyes, trying hard to suppress her laughter. She had discovered that the Wolverine's bark was worse than his bite. She had seen that he cared for the students and thoroughly enjoyed teaching them. The tough, "I don't give a damn," attitude was just an exterior layer. A public face. She was sure that the inner Logan was kind, sensitive.she gasped as she caught his eye. Inside she saw a vortex of fire and passion barely kept under control. Gulping she looked away.and a man of untamable passion.
They arrived after a couple of hours at their hotel, which was located close by to the Whitehouse. The girls headed over to their room, which all three would be sharing, to freshen up. The boys did like wise.
"Oye, you guys before you run off to your rooms. I want you all down here in half an hour. We'll discuss the rules, restrictions and yatta yatta yatta. K?" asked Raven with an evil smile.
The kids just nodded.
Raven headed up to her own room hoping to freshen up before the big lecture.
"Raven? Can I talk to you?" asked Jean.
"sure thing, whats up?"
"Uh.I don't mean to sound nosy or anything but..eh..you know what my mutation is right?" Raven merely nodded.
"Well you know how I'm telepathic.uh, how should I say this. You know the other night when we were all having dinner? Well you were sending" Seeing a very confused Raven, Jean sighed and elaborated. "your thoughts."
At first Raven didn't see what the problem was but then it hit her like a tree. She had been thinking of Logan! More than thinking, fantasizing! About having a shower with. and doing. She gulped.
Blushing profusely Raven looked up at an equally embarrassed jean. "I don't mean to pry!" said Jean earnestly, knowing how her knew friend was very private about her private thoughts and past.
Raven looked up startled by what she saw. Jean was genuinely concerned about upsetting raven's feelings or embarrassing her. She had never had a friend like that, she had never had anyone who cared in well.a bloody long time.
Since her parents had died Raven had been sent to children's home after children's home. But had runaway at 17. She had lived since then for four years on her own. She had no friends or family and frankly she hadn't cared. But here was a person who knew nothing about Raven, not even her true name! She realized and someone who still cared about her.
Raven looked up into her friends eyes, yeh her first true friend's eyes and smiled. Jean relaxed slightly.
"It's ok, I know you couldn't help it .and well" she began cautiously, "friends, close friends shouldn't have secrets. At this Jean burst into tears and hugged the living daylights out of Raven.
"Eh, also Jean.it' Kary, Kary Brooks. My name's Kary Brooks. After all friends should know each other's names."
This caused Jean to burst into another round of tears and bear hug Kary to the floor. "hey if I'd known you were going to do this I never would have told you! Will you get off me woman I can't breathe! And here I thought you were the smart responsible one!"
Jean burst into giggles and pulled Raven up. The two women headed up to their rooms laughing happily. Unnoticed a shadow stood against a diagonal wall with an animal like grace, watching the two women, the dark haired one in particular with a deep yearning and muttered with a seductive smile to himself. "Kary."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Raven came bounding down the stairs with a smile on her face. She had taken her first step to opening up and letting go of the past. Her name, it had sounded kind of strange hearing Jean say it, in a good kind of way. She hadn't told her name to anyone before now and frankly she decided she liked it. Kary had changed out of a black sweater, in favor for a lighter and more fitted, forget me not blue sweater. She glanced around the empty lounge area guessing that she was the first one down, but was corrected when Logan got up from a couch behind her. She slightly jumped and scolded herself for not sensing him. Her sense of sound should have warned her, but she had had an emotional time already.
At least that's what she told herself. Logan seemed to have a way of getting around her heightened senses and surprising her. He had changed out of his usual under shirt and shirt for a tight black T and a pair of tight jeans that hung low on the waist. He looked intimidating and sexy as usual. She looked him over her eyes taking in every inch of his well taken care of body and did a slight back take noticing his arousal. She wondered if it was due to her or if Logan was a constantly aroused, being the very sexual person that he was.
He gave Kary a smile and said "So Ka..Raven, you going to tell them about the martial arts seminar they're going to have to drag themselves to next?" She nodded.
"Hmm. it'll be good a chance to get down and dirty. Followed by a good physical work out the.for the students of course. Unless you would like to give it a shot? Say this afternoon?" He said the last words invitingly and almost daring her to.
She could slowly feel her nipples hardening and swore inwardly. She hoped he wouldn't notice her arousal. Kary could just about hear the sensible voice in her head shouting out loud *DON'T ANSWER! HE'S SETTING U UP! YOU KNOW IT!. This was an ongoing thing she had been having with her sense of reason and her raging hormones. It was a fight to see who which sense would prevail and hold out longest. Giving caution to the wind she played along.
"Sure. But you sure you can handle it? Big boy like you may get hurt."
"That's what I'm counting on."
"Hey anyone down here? Oh hi Logan, hey Raven. Ah'm here, but Jubes and Kitty will be a little while.." Rogue stopped mid-sentence. She had a very uncomfortable feeling that she had walked into something. She had a feeling that the new teacher, Raven and Logan who she considered like a big brother had a thing for each other. At first she had been kinda shy and unsure about the other woman. She didn't really know much about her, except that her fighting and weapons skills were was good enough to give the Wolverine an ass kicking if he wasn't careful.
Logan broke eye contact and looked up at Rogue affectionately. "hey kiddo, so where's your boyfriend the big freeze?" he joked.
Rogue scowled, "tha names Bobby, lak for the tenth time. Ya must be really getting old if ya can't remember afta so many times!"
*Phamf "you called, ve are at your service, zat iz ze ice man and za great nightcrawler!"
"Like, then be a doll and crawl away!" muttered Kitty coming down the stairs. She was joined by Jubilee, Steven and Jean.
"Great now that every one is here we have a surprise for you. Guess who's about to go to a martial Arts seminar!" the already tired students, due to the long bus ride moaned.
"Eh, what did I get myself into", moaned Jubilee unknowing that Kary matched her sentiments exactly. Her sense or reason was out the window and her hormones had taken over. She didn't think she would be able to resist temptation.
"Isn't that what you wanted, now there's nothing stopping you!" said her evil hormones.
"That's exactly what I'm afraid of"
