NOTE: Sorry for the delay, I was house-sitting for a friend and unable to access a computer. I apologize for my lateness and all short comings in this fic. I only write for fun and I never intend to finish any of the stories I post (and I am not that good with fiction, reports and facts yes, but not fiction, trust me my best friend is a writer and WAY better). HOWEVER all the positive feedback has made me decide to TRY continuing, but I will need a lot of help and I ask for patience and serious comments and suggestions from readers, in fact I eagerly solicit them. I am delighted you are reading this and thank you very much, I look forward to your response.
SIN Chapter 3
The next day as the student body made a break for the kitchen they were all stopped in their tracks at an extremely disturbing sight in the rec room. Spread out on the floor and draped over various pieces of furniture was about half a dozen grungy, disreputable, and scraggly people in various states of consciousness. The funniest sight though was the four on the floor using each other as pillows and blankets looking particularly ridiculous.
As the shock wore off and the students found they could move again they all as one tiptoed past and into the kitchen. Unfortunately, the kitchen had also been taken over. Wolverine sat at the table, with a mug of steaming coffee cupped in his hands, across from a very formidable looking woman. Next to Logan sat a very ruffled and tired Kurt, also with coffee.
"Ah children, come in, come in, I want you to meet our guests," beckoned the professor who appeared in the doorway with Beast and Storm in tow. "You have been excused from your classes this morning and have the day free" he continued as he wheeled toward the head of the table Logan, Kurt, and the stranger were occupying. Even though it was summer and school was out, they still had morning classes and danger room sessions with the Professor, Logan, Storm, and Beast for training, and hearing the announcement was like an early Christmas for the kids. Together the students let out a magnificent cheer that woke the sleepers in the common room. A loud crash was heard and several annoyed voices started swearing and bickering.
"Owww! Shit! Shit! Shit! I hope that lamp wasn't expensive!"
"Damnit! Can't a person get any shut-eye around here without a circus blowing through?"
"Aww, Shut it Dead, 'afore I kill ya!"
"I thought she was already 'Dead'"
"Har har"
"Hey Jewls, wake up!"
"Fuck off, I'm sleeping!"
"Misery get ya lazy hide offa me!"
"Food…mumblemumble…caffeine."
"Rise and Shine Evie-peevy!"
"I'll rise but I REFUSE to shine."
"Err, where's Sin?"
This remark was followed by a few seconds of silence.
"I'm in here" this came from the woman sitting with Wolverine and Nightcrawler, and immediately the group of people previously dead to the world trooped into the kitchen.
"Please sit down everyone, I'd like to introduce you to our guests" said the professor.
As everyone took a seat the professor gestured to Wolverine's companion, "This is Sin, she and her friends will be staying awhile while they sort some things out, I expect you to make them feel welcome. Now I will leave you to get acquainted. Logan, Sin, if you'd please," The professor beckoned the two who stood and followed him out of the dining hall.
A minute of awkward silence passed, then another, and another.
"Well who's up for pancakes?"
