Author's Note: Sorry it took awhile to update, I have been busy, but I mean
to update quickly. First, I'd like to thank Lady_Knight19 for reviewing
chapter 1, and I'm glad you liked it. Anyway, as I said before, I don't own
any of the characters, but in this chapter I have introduced characters I
do own. For example, I own Regan, but I also own Tommy, Deron, and Chad,
who will appear later on in the chapter. Hope you'll enjoy it.
Chapter 2:
Regan didn't know why she was following Logan. She guessed it was because he knew she was a mutant. She had lied to him, telling him she wasn't, when she really knew that she had a secret power: telekinesis. She had noticed it a while ago. Whenever she got angry, mainly with her foster parents, things would move, sometimes in harmful ways, but her foster parents didn't blame her, they just assumed they had ghosts.
Logan led her out of the alley, and turned and started walking down the way Regan would have gone, if she hadn't turned into the alley, away from the park.
"So where is this academy?" Regan asked, quickening to catch up with him.
"I can't tell you." Logan said. "Not with them around."
Regan figured he meant the humans. But she wanted to continue a conversation; it might make her feel more comfortable.
"Who?" she asked.
Logan turned to her, and she almost tripped because of the intense look (wouldn't anyone?).
"You ask too many questions." Logan said, "Besides you know who they are."
"The humans?" Regan asked.
"Bingo." Logan said, tonelessly.
Regan sighed and slowed down a little. She hated to admit it, but she felt something for this guy, she just didn't know what. She felt weird. Something in her told her she needed to trust him, and it pulled her toward him, but a different part of her was drawing her away from him. She wasn't afraid or intimidated, just cautious. Logan looked over his shoulder, his eyebrow raising.
"Why so quiet all of a sudden?" he asked.
"Oh," Regan said, snapping out of her daze, "I was just thinking, that's all."
"About what?" Logan asked.
"What my foster parents would say if they knew that I was following a complete stranger." Regan said.
"I'm not a complete stranger." Logan said, "You know my name."
Regan moved ahead of Logan and started walking backwards, looking at him.
"Well, I'm just saying, I don't know anything about you." She said, "And here I am, willfully following you."
"Or willfully leading me." Logan said smartly.
"You're a real smart ass, did you know that?" Regan asked, stopping to let him pass by her.
Before Logan could answer, he heard footsteps. Just as he turned around, someone grabbed Regan. She didn't really scream, just made a gasping noise, as she was thrown into a nearby alley. Logan sighed annoyed; he really wasn't in the mood for this. He turned into an alley to see that the attackers were three teen guys.
One of them had longish brown hair, wearing torn jeans and a flannel shirt, with the sleeves cut off. The second had short messy, blond hair, and wore black jeans and a black "The Clash" shirt. And the third guy had short black hair and was wearing jeans and a plain gray hooded sweatshirt. It appeared as if they were trying to pull Regan into a black van, and Logan's first thought was that they worked for Magneto. The one with the longish hair had Regan's hands behind her back and was pulling her towards the van. The black haired guy noticed Logan first, and called to the one holding Regan.
"Deron!"
He turned to see why his name had been called, and he saw Logan standing at the opening of the alley.
"What are you waiting for?" Deron asked the blond and the other guy. "Get him."
The dark-haired guy attacked first, charging at Logan, who dodged quickly, and swung his fist. It collided with the guy's face. Before the guy could get over the shock, Logan brought his knee up between the guy's legs. The guy doubled and grabbed his crotch, and Logan grabbed his head quickly, and in one quick motion, Logan brought his knee up again, while bringing the guy's head down. His face snapped into Logan's knee, and blood started to pour from the guy's nose. He moaned in pain, and reached up to try and stop the blood.
"Logan then turned to the blond, who looked like he was too scared to fight, it looked as if the blond didn't belong there. Logan charged at him, but all of a sudden, he turned invisible, and Logan could no longer see him. Meanwhile, the longhaired guy, Deron was battling with Regan.
"Chad!" he called, blocking a punch from Regan. "Use it!"
Logan turned back to the dark-haired guy, who was standing with his arms spread out, and he seemed to be concentrating hard. There was the sickening sound of flesh being sliced, and Chad grunted in pain, as, all of a sudden, he pulled a long, gleaming sword from the palm of his hand. Logan couldn't stop the surprised look that came over his face; this kid had pulled a sword from his hand.
"Pretty cool, huh?" Chad asked, blood still streaming down his face.
"Not as cool as what I can do." Logan said (you and I both know how cocky he can get).
Suddenly, metal claws came from between Logan's knuckles, he had gotten used to the pain by now. Regan stopped struggling with Deron and watched in awe. Chad's sword had been pretty cool, but she personally preferred Logan's power. That gave Deron time to grab her and roughly throw her into the van. Inside, she looked around, the back door didn't have a handle, and there was a cage, separating the back of the van from the front where the seats were. She looked down at the bottom of the cage, where there were screws to hold it in place. They were cheap, but it wasn't enough for her to pull them out with her hands, but she also had a power.
"Tommy, where the hell are you?" Chad asked, loudly, brandishing the sword in front of him.
"Right here." The blond kid appeared again, somewhat behind Chad.
"Why aren't you fighting?" Chad snapped.
Tommy didn't answer, instead he disappeared again. Chad turned to see Logan lunging at him, ready to strike. Chad blocked Logan's blow with his sword, and there was a clang of metal. Then he jumped back and swung his sword at him.
The sound of metal against metal rang through the alley. Chad was a pretty good swordsman, but Logan was a better fighter. In a second, he had Chad against the brick wall of a building, using his left hand to hold him by his throat, and his right hand had managed to steal the sword and was gripping it tightly. On any normal occasion, Logan would have killed Chad without question. But this guy was young, 18 or 19. So instead, Logan raised the sword and brought the handle down hard on Chad's head. He fell over knocked out, and Logan dropped the sword next to him. He turned to Deron who was standing next to the van and had been watching the fight.
"Tommy!" Deron called, "Where are you?"
There was no answer, it appeared as if Tommy had made a run for it, he didn't look that strong.
"Damn it." Deron exclaimed. "Looks like it's my turn."
"Looks like it is." Logan said.
In a blur of black, Deron appeared next to Logan. Just as Tommy' s power was invisibility, Deron's was speed. As Logan and Deron battled outside the van, Regan was inside the van. She had already removed 4 screws, but there were 6 more, she figured that the guys fighting Logan had put the cage in themselves. After about a minute or two, she had gotten them out of the bottom, and much to her luck, there were only a few holding it in at the top. When she got those out, she pulled the cage down and climbed into the driver's seat.
"Ow.' Deron said as one of Logan's claws scratched his bare arm.
Since Deron had been moving so fast, it was only a minor cut. With great agility, Deron got behind Logan, and swept his leg around, tripping Logan, and knocking him down. Deron dived at Logan, who grabbed him and flipped him over (think of Simba battling Scar in "The Lion King"). Then he climbed to his feet.
All of a sudden, there was the sound of an engine starting. Logan and Deron looked up to see Regan in the drivers seat. Deron still hadn't got off the ground, and Regan pushed down hard on the gas pedal, lurching the van forward. Logan jumped out of the way, but Deron didn't get up in time. The van covered him, not running him over, just trapping him beneath it. Regan leaned over to the passenger side door, and pushed it open.
"Get in.," she said to Logan, who climbed up into the van quickly.
"Let me drive." He commanded.
Regan switched to the passenger seat, as Logan took the wheel. Then he slammed on the gas pedal.
"Did you know them?" Regan asked, as they sped out of the alley.
"No." Logan answered, turning down a different street.
"I'm guessing they were mutants." Regan said.
"Good guess." Logan said.
Something in the review mirror caught Regan's eye. She looked and found it was Deron running, and he was catching up with the van.
"Go faster." Regan said.
"Why?" Logan asked.
Deron was now, running right outside Regan's window.
"That's why." She said.
Logan turned at a red light, but was forced to stop the van when he saw that there were a lot of cars stopped at a different one. Suddenly, he opened his door, and grabbed Regan's wrist.
"Come on." He said.
He dragged her out of the van and they shot of running. Deron didn't notice them until they turned down an alley. Then he started running after them.
"Where are we going?" Regan asked.
"Hold on." Logan said, turning out of the alley, which led him onto a different road.
He recognized this road, it was on the other side of the park; the place where he had left his bike. He started running again, Regan close on his heels. He could see his bike ahead of him, parked next to a red car. When he reached it, he practically threw himself on it, pulling Regan on behind him. Then he started it and they were off. Regan had never been on a bike before, but she couldn't enjoy the experience, because she had also never been in a life-or-death situation. She held on to Logan tightly for fear of falling off, as the bike rode off through the streets, swerving into random ones. And when they finally lost Deron, Logan turned his bike onto a major road and said:
"Now, let's get back to the academy."
Author's Note: Sorry if that was boring, I tried to make it a little action- y. Well, I hoped you enjoyed it, and please review.
