A/N: There will be some obvious pairings such as Kurt/Kitty, Jean/Scott (::Rolls eyes:: Now who didn't see that one coming?), and Rogue/Logan. (Although, the last one is more like a father/daughter kind of pairing.)
Things written like 'this' is people talking on the T.V.

_Rejected since day
one
My name is, Bastard Son
I've been dead so many times I've lost count-

'In recent news, a crowd of twenty people had been brutally murdered this afternoon. Witnesses have reported that the murderer was indeed a mutant-'
Scott turned the T.V off dropping the controller onto the floor, "Oh God," He muttered under his breath taking a step away from the T.V, "Oh God."
~PROFESSOR!~ He shouted mentally still gawking at the television set even though it was off, ~I think I just found Logan~
~*~*~*~
_I'm
sinking, I'm twisted
I'm broke and you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red blood and then we'll all go
Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
They'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame_
-Running From The Inferno-

Professor Charles Xavier had gathered the adults along with the older students into his office.
"What's this about, Charles?" Asked Ororo Munroe, AKA Storm.
The others quickly chimed in with their own comments before being quieted down by the Professor who had been flipping through some papers.
"What I have gathered you all here for is
highly important," Charles Xavier frowned as he placed the papers he was
holding onto his desk then wheeled in front of the group, "As you all have
probably figured out by now, Logan is gone."
"Yes we all know that Professor, but why
is he gone?" Jean Grey asked voicing the question that was on everyone's
mind.
Charles sighed, "He found some leads to his past and went to investigate them. The results was an overload of suppressed and hidden memories that…" He stopped closing his eyes and shook his head sadly.
"Professor?" Hank McCoy spoke up pushing the Professor to continue.
He cleared his throat and continued, "-took his sanity. He made it here just holding on by a thread and before I could help him he snapped and ran off. That was early this morning, around 7."
"Do you have any clue as to where he is now?" Ororo asked worriedly her deep blue eyes flashing with concern.
Charles glanced over at Scott who was staring at his hands, "Yes, I believe so," He frowned as he wheeled over to a T.V and placed a tape inside the VCR, "I don't know if any of you caught the news this afternoon, besides Scott who had brought this to my attention." He said turning the T.V on revealing news footage of a young woman in near hysterics.
'He just came out of no where!' She cried tears streaming down her face, 'and he killed my son! Oh God, he killed him!'
Just as the woman began to break down into hysterical sobs the camera cut away to a mass of people comforting each other as they watched the police and medical workers clean up the scene.
'Witnesses describe the attacker as a white male in his 30's with black hair, he is highly dangerous and armed with what appeared as knives. If you have any information regarding this attack please call 1-'
The Professor turned off the tape and the T.V then turned back to the group who all looked disturbed and quite upset with the whole ordeal.
"Like, no way. Mr. Logan couldn't have, like, done something like that!" Kitty cried her eyes wide with fear.
Kurt wrapped his arm around Kitty letting her head rest on his shoulder, "Vhat are Ve going to do?" he asked softly.
"We have to catch him," The Professor answered solemnly wheeling back over to his desk where he picked up the papers he had laid there earlier, "Here are the coordinates to where he was last seen," He handed Scott a paper, "Please be careful." He said turning to everyone as they all filed out of the room except for Rogue.
"Ah don't know if ah can do this," She said softly running a hand through her hair nervously, "Ah don't know if ah can see him like… like that."
The Professor nodded sympathetically, he knew that Logan had been like a father to Rogue and he had seen how much the news footage had unnerved her, "You don't have to go Rogue. I understand what this must be like for you."
Rogue nodded mumbling a 'thanks' then exited out of the office with tears in her eyes.
