Title: New Mutant
Part Seven: Strange Sights
Author: Look Up
Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own the movie, the books, the comics, or the cartoons and to make a claim on them is to insult everyone who worked so hard. The only thing I claim is this story, Amber, Max and Chris, who you really haven't been introduced to yet.
Summary: Amber flattens Logan after he makes a comment. Storm works out Amber's sleeping arrangements until Saturday.
A/N: Okay I've figured out Logan's love life. I've decided, along with my muse, that it is a vital part of the coming chapters. And yes, this is a short section but deal with it. I couldn't think of anything else tonight. I'll try to get another chapter out soon but I have eight other stories to work on. So, enjoy this and please leave a review. They seriously make my day. And no, she really isn't a snob, she just has a quick temper.

" Hello Logan." Amber said when the door opened to the darkened room. Sitting with her back to the door, she worked on controlling her breath for a meditation.
" Hey." He stood uncomfortably in the door.
" In or out." She said after letting him squirm for a minute.
" In. I was hoping we could talk." Sighing, Amber/Jewels opened her eyes, turned a light on and stretched her legs in front of her.
" Sit," she paused as he sat across from her, fidgeting slightly. " This is about the beautiful comment, isn't it?"
" Yeah." Logan was glad that he didn't have to bring it up first.
" So what's your solution? Pretend it never happened?" Amber's lips curled into a sneer at the idea. It was an idea that Logan had been contemplating but he had dismissed it almost instantly because he knew it would never work.
" No. Talking seems to help most situations. Long as they don't break down into fights." A suddenly evil grin erupted to grace her mouth, revealing pearly white teeth against blood red lips.
" I could take you in a fight." She teased. He snorted.
" I doubt it." Before the words had left his mouth for a second, she leaped across the space and flattened Wolverine.
" You were saying?" Another pair of eyes had seen the speed with which Amber had hurled across the room.
~~~~~
" Someone really should find Amber."
" No, Logan said she found a room to stay in. I think for just a little while longer she should be given some privacy." Storm tried to get everyone to leave the topic alone.
" I say she should be introduced to the idea of sharing a dorm room." Jean spoke up for the first time in the conversation. Storm closed her eyes, trying to get what she had seen earlier to leave her vision.
" Give her a couple of more nights. She needs time to... grieve."
" She'll have until Saturday, how's that?" Jean compromised, giving into Storm's quiet reasoning.
Smiling, Storm's gratitude was evident in her voice, " Thanks." ^That should be plenty of time for them to work things out^
~~~~~
" What just happened?" Logan asked, unable to lift his arms a few centimeters above the ground.
" You just got beaten by a girl." She taunted, her face inches from him.
" Ah, hell." Logan acted on impulse, surprising them both. Fortunately for all, no other eyes saw this impulse happen.
