Cheating Fate
Chapter I: Unwelcome Interruption
"I'd say it's about time I meet with this new kid," Wolverine growled as he stomped through the hall. He seemed real furious at the thought of having another mischievous little mutant running amuck. "I will not allow another newcomer to show up and mess around like all the others."
As he stopped to throw open the door, he let out a short growl. He stared at the boy as several dozens of tarot cards floated in the air, orbiting around him. Each of his eyes glowed brightly as they stared back. He just stood there, silent for a moment.
"It's about time you showed up," he whispered in a dark voice. "I've been expecting you, Logan."
"How the hell do you know my name?!"
A dark and twisted smile appeared on his face. "I have seen your past. It's almost as if I had been there. yes. I saw your life before those claws became a part of it. I saw the life story of Apocalypse. I saw the fall of many empires. I saw the one time Professor Xavier failed to help a mutant. But that's not all. I have seen your fate."
The door suddenly slams shut. Wolverine knew this couldn't be good. He glared at the boy and growled angrily. That only mad him even more pleased. The cards slowly began to change their floating pattern. Soon, Wolverine was surrounded.
"I AM YOUR FATE!!!"
***************************
A huge scream began to echo throughout the institution. Most of the students thought Wolverine was just getting pissed off again. He seemed to do that sometimes. Jean was in the kitchen with Beast and Storm.
"Guys, is it just me or did that sound like trouble?"
"We'd better go check up on things," Beast responded to Jean. "You should go get the Professor."
***************************
Storm gasped as she looked at the floor of the room. Beast bowed his head in respect, amazed that such a thing was possible. "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him."
"This is NO time for quoting Shakespear," Storm yelled as tears flowed down her cheeks. "Wolverine is dead!"
