AN: I've gotten to the second chapter and maybe people will start to review once they read it. Who knows? Stranger things have happened. ^_~
Professor Xavier had briefed Logan and Ororo about the developing situation occurring over in Worcester, Massachusetts. Professor Xavier couldn't really tell them what they were going to be dealing with, as he didn't know himself. All he could tell them was to be careful and to make sure the girl didn't come to any harm.
Nice of him to know what was going on before sending us out there? Logan grumbled. It wasn't as though he wasn't used to going into situations not knowing what they were up against but this seemed different somehow.
"Logan, are you ok my friend?" Ororo asked breaking into his thoughts.
"Yeah, I'm fine darlin'. Where did he say this place was?" Logan asked grumpily.
"Worcester, Massachusetts. We are almost there now." Ororo informed him ignoring his bad mood.
"Where are we gonna put this thing down? From the information we got this is a moderate sized city. Seems like a helicopter touchin' down might attract some notice." Logan commented.
"There is an airport not too far from the target location. According to my data it is currently not in use. We can land there with little hassle and use the cloaking device to ensure our privacy." Ororo countered with a tiny smirk.
"Alright darlin' ya got me there. Let's get this show on the road. Any ideas on how we're gonna approach the kid?" Logan asked.
"Simple. We go up to the front door and ring the bell or knock." Ororo stated.
"It's your game plan 'Ro." Logan replied as the helicopter touched down.
"Yes it is." Ororo replied stepping out of the plan. Once they had made sure the cloaking device was attached and working properly Logan and Ororo exited the airport, found a pay phone and called a cab.
About fifteen minutes later they arrived at their destination. Making sure to keep themselves hidden they peered in one of the front windows. Inside they saw a petite girl. She looked to be 14 or so but from the limited data the Professor had managed to get them she was at least 18. She had light brown hair that fell in waves to somewhere around her waist. She was short, probably around five feet tall. They couldn't see what color eyes she had as they were turned downward, studying a book. She was slim and looked to be slightly underfed. After looking around for a bit, Ororo came to the conclusion that the girl was the only one in the house.
"Can you smell anyone else in the house Logan?" Storm asked knowing that he could pick up on things she had missed.
"There's no one else in the house. She's got a dog though." Logan remarked after sniffing the air a bit.
"Alright, that is fine. Let us go inside then." Ororo suggested straightening out.
They knocked on the door neither one of them knowing what to expect nor how much it would come to change them.
