A Fine Wednesday's Hunt
Wednesday morning came and went with little commotion. Well as little commotion as possible with several mutant teenagers in a house. However since there were no Misfits to interact with, the explosions and bickering were kept to a minimum. Morning classes came and went after breakfast. Xavier decided that the students had earned a little break.
"A picnic would be a wonderful idea Ororo," Xavier agreed with her. "The students could go to the small pond in the woods."
"All right!" Sam whooped. "We can also go swimming! It's warm enough!"
"That's why I suggested it," Ororo smiled.
"What's wrong with the pool?" Kitty asked.
"Girl sometimes you gotta go back to nature," Tabitha grinned. "It'll be fun! Right Logan?"
"Right kid," Logan grinned. "But I ain't going swimming. I'm going to do me some hunting."
"Hunting?" Amanda blanched.
"Not real hunting kid," Logan grinned. "I'm just gonna track an animal for the fun of it. See if I can get close enough to touch it. That's all. Don't like killing animals for sport."
"Yeah he prefers people," Bobby snickered to Roberto.
"I heard that Icicle," Logan glared at him. Then he grinned. "I'll remember that next time we have Danger Room practice."
"Me and my big mouth," Bobby groaned.

On the far side of the woods at the Institute Logan was happily tracking down a small deer when he stopped. "Something ain't right here," He unsheathed his claws. "I know that scent."
Suddenly the ground erupted in front of him, throwing him back. Out of the ground Logan saw a man in a white and red costume fly out. The costume had a maple leaf design on his side. "YOU!" Logan snapped. "What are you doing here?"
"Logan it's time you came home," The man in the costume told him.
"James Macdonald Hudson," Logan growled. "I recognized your scent."
"I'm not that man anymore," James glared at him. "Call me Vindicator. And you're coming with me!"
