Fallout
That evening Hank was talking to Xavier. "How is Tabitha? Is she seriously damaged?" Xavier asked.
"She'll be fine," Hank told them. "Sam got to her in time and the beam only grazed her temple. It looked worse than it actually was. So you know this James Macdonald I take it?"
"I'm afraid so," Xavier sighed. "I should have known General Chasen wouldn't have just given up. I think it's time I made a few phone calls."
"You think he might bring in those others you told me about to rescue Macdonald?" Hank asked.
"It's a possibility," Xavier said. "Let's see if we can avoid that."
Kitty had been secretly listening in on the whole thing. She phased out of the room. "These guys have tangled before," Kitty informed the others. "And the Professor says some guy named General Chasen is behind all this. And there's some other guys too but he didn't say who."
"But who is this guy and what does he want with Wolverine?" Jean asked.
"And more importantly what are we gonna do with this guy?" Bobby asked. "Turn him over to the authorities?"
"The Professor told us that he doesn't want to call them yet," Scott said. "Which is just as well. I have much better idea. I think I'm going to make a phone call."
Twenty minutes later the Misfits arrived with General Hawk and Jinx. However as soon as they arrived the adults sequestered themselves. "Great we still don't know the whole story!" Bobby grumbled. "We fought off the bad guy and they still won't tell us anything!"
"And I thought our day was eventful," Althea shook her head.
"Why what happened?" Kurt asked.
"NOTHING!" Lance snapped.
"Oh really?" Peter snickered. "That embarrassing huh?"
"What did he do?" Scott grinned.
"Well technically it wasn't him…" Pietro began.
"Pietro not one word!" Wanda snapped.
"Yeah you're not exactly in the clear on this either, remember?" Todd grinned maliciously.
"You know we really should find out what's going on with Logan," Pietro said quickly. He grabbed Kitty. "Come on Kitty-Cat! Let's do some spying!" They whizzed down the hall with her.
They found Logan and Jinx out in the garden. They were downwind so Logan couldn't smell them. Kitty put her finger to her lips to indicate silence. She phased them through a wall into some nearby bushes.
"But I don't understand what that has to do with us?" Jinx said.
"Look it wasn't just the fact that Chasen was a jerk who wanted to use me there's more," Logan told her. "There's another reason I left, a reason even James doesn't even know. But you should."
"What? What could be so horrible that would cause you to leave them and stay with Xavier?" Jinx asked. "Didn't you want to stay with Xavier in the first place?"
"Yes and no," Logan said. "It's…complicated. True, Charles helped me out. But it was James and Heather that really helped me to recover from my trauma. However…something happened. Something I couldn't control."
"Did you hurt someone?" Jinx asked.
"No but if I stayed I would have hurt James," Logan said.
"I don't understand," Jinx said. Logan took her hands. "Logan what did you do?"
"I fell in love with his wife Heather," Logan admitted.
Kitty and Pietro looked at each other. WHAT? Their mouths motioned but no sound came out.
Okay, what's the full story on Logan? I'm basing this origin on the Evolution Comic that was out previously and adding a bit of the original comic to it to form my own twisted spin! What will happen when the truth comes out? Stay tuned!
