Title: New Mutant

Part Eleven: Run Away

Author: Kryptonite

Disclaimer: I really seriously wish I could make some sort of claim to X- men, and Wolverine, but I just can't. It sucks.

Summary: Amber's missing and Xavier's solution is too... sit around? What? Oh well, everyone else is featured here a little as well.

A/N: Hey People! Okay, some X2 hints, nothing serious, and adding everyone's favorite Cajun to the mix. Please don't flame me if his voice sounds off because I'm not the greatest at writing accents, sorry. On with the story and Enjoy!

" I was afraid something like this would happen."

" Like what?" Logan growled. ^If he knew this was going to happen^

" I didn't Logan and it won't help if you slice me open." Xavier said calmly.

" Right... Sorry." Logan muttered as he resumed his pacing.

" For now, we simply must trust in her judgement."

Logan exploded, " WHAT!"

" Logan, calm down." Storm said, once more the voice of reason.

" She had a reason to leave."

" Or she was taken." Scott put in.

" Not helping one-eye." Logan was getting dangerously close to breaking something.

" Logan we'll do everything we can but you must NOT run off after her."

Logan didn't argue. He didn't say anything, just walked off and up to his room, slamming the door shut behind him.

" You know he's going to do something stupid." Scott predicted.

Xavier looked at his student. " We'll try to make sure that doesn't happen, shall we?"

~~~

" Where the hell are you kid?"

" Swearing at the walls won't help any." Scott said, standing against the doorframe.

" No but it's better than snapping your neck." Scott didn't look fazed.

" True. Why don't you go get some training in? Take your mind off the situation." Logan glared at the younger man then shoved past him.

~~~

" Where's Logan?" Xavier asked later that day.

" Down in the danger room. Thought some training would help."

" Did it Scott?" Charles had turned to look at the leader of the X-men.

" Not really sure. He's been in there four hours now and he's still not tired."

" Then it's working." Xavier said decisively.

" But what are we going to do about Amber? We still don't know what happened to her."

" Oh, yes we do." Chris came walking into the room. He had an envelope in his hand. " This was in my desk." Charles motioned for Chris to hand him the envelope.

"' Xavier, I'm sorry for my abrupt disappearance but it was necessary. I promise I'll come back as soon as I can, so tell Logan not to worry. And the prophecy said 'One will save us, One shall undo us.' That means. I'm not going to go into it. But there is another and I have to find him/her. Maybe if we work together, I won't screw up the planet so much. Tell Logan not to break anything. I'll try to be back in a couple of weeks, couple of months at the most. I'm sorry.'"

" Where do you think she went?" Jean asked the silent teachers.

" Wherever she is she knows what she's doing. If Amber needs our help she'll contact us." The Professor paused. " Someone go make sure Logan hasn't killed himself yet."

" Yes sir." Storm walked out the door and down the hall to the elevator to the facility under the ground.

" So we just sit back and do nothing?" Scott questioned.

" Yes Scott. Of course someone has to teach the students." A few dry chuckles were heard and everyone departed.

" Professor?"

" Yes Jean?"

" What about her brother? He's the one who contacted us, told us about them. He fits the description of the extended prophecy."

" I believe he is not the one who will save us. Though I might be wrong."

" I hope you aren't." Jean said before turning and leaving the room.

" I hope I am not either." He replied, looking sadly around the classroom. " For this will then be all for nothing."

~~~

" Storm?" The weather witch jerked from her reverie to Jean's voice.

" Yes?" She asked the question even knowing what Jean was going to say.

" He's not coming back for a while. He told you it would be a long time before you saw him again." Storm looked to the ground, trying to hide her sadness.

" I know. But I can still hope." Jean grinned softly at the woman.

" Thought you lost all hope?"

" I got some of it back." ^Thanks to Kurt^

" That's good to hear. Come on, let's get dinner." The two walked out together in silence, as the air remained hot and oppressive around the mansion.

~~~

" Logan? Time to eat." Scott knocked on the door, delivered his message and left again, before Logan could respond.

" Logan?" Another voice called tentatively. A grunt was heard.

" You need to eat something." Rogue tried to plead in a voice she knew Logan couldn't resist. A hand rested on her shoulder.

" He'll be fine, mon chere. Let's eat." Rogue nodded and turned to walk hand'n'hand with her boyfriend to dinner.

" Logan, if you ever need to talk to someone, I'll listen. Promise. Okay, okay, I'm coming Remy." Rogue ran back to the stairs and the man waiting just on the landing.

" Thanks for the offer kid." Logan was standing on his hands, body leaning heavily on the door, his face turning red with the effort. " Hopefully I won't need it."
