Of course, the X-Men and other such characters involved in the comic, books
and the movie belong to Marvel, and new ones are mine. Also the plot is my
own.

Goth: No. I'm afraid Gambit won't ever be in my stories. I don't even know what his mutation is. o.o I have only seen the movies and I don't really know much about the comic characters. Even if I tried it would probably end up as poor character portrayal, and that'll make my fic bad. X.x And they're not going to Canada. Too close to America. I'm takin' 'em a good way. And Cliffhanger endings are important!!! I like 'em! O.O
Blix: Logan can be a good leader.. in a sense of er.. leading. Doubt the orders would be good though. He's too rash for things like that. He always has been a quick action mutant.
Jenny: *grins* Shall I tell you why he reminds you of Draco?? Cos that's where the inspiration came! We need a baddy, and Draco/Sprite are cool baddies to have! But remember this, he might not be pleasant regarding the x-Men, but I never said he hated humans. So be careful, don't fall into that trap. ;)
Chapter 13
A tall wire fence cut off the airport grounds from the surrounding woodland. This fence was extremely tall, three times the height of person and along the top barbed wire glistened threateningly, daring anyone to cross it.
The group of mutants gathered a few feet from this, a few trees hiding them from direct view. Whilst the students seemed too tired or disinterested to listen to Charles's plan, the X-Men, including the two of the ill-fated Brotherhood listened intently.
"So what do we do once we get to the jet?"
"The steps could still be there.. I don't know. Just get inside and bring it round to the open area so we can get in." Answered Charles.
Logan frowned, "There's a chance this won't work.."
"We need to take the risk." Said Scott gently, "We can't stay here forever can we?"
Logan sighed and nodded slowly, "I suppose.. "He turned and walked through the grass towards the criss-cross work of the fencing. He stared through at a few people who walked on down the concrete area. He sighed, looking down to the wolf at his feet, "Ready?" He asked.
A soft bark answered him.
Logan turned, nodding to the group, "Be ready for us."
The X-Men nodded, including a few of the students.
"Right.." Said Logan softly. He turned back to the fence, crouching gently into the shadows beside Aurora. He watched humans drive across the runway shouting orders to fellow staff. One luggage trailer turned round a large shack at the end. As soon as it left view, the stretch of vast concrete was free of humans. Since the X-Men had stopped as soon as they reached the first sign of fencing, they were in the far corner.
The sun was still just rising and so the shadows were long and immense. Perfect cover for them. Logan raised his fist and brought three adamantium claws down across a section of metal cross work. They sliced through easily and fell away to leave a decent hole. Aurora slipped through first, sniffing gently around. The wolf shifted to a silky feathered black crow, which rose to the air and flapped across the airport. Logan crawled through the fence and ran after her, the pair instantly slipping into shadows. Frequently area's of sunlight was impossible to be avoided, but they crossed so silently and so sleekly, that they couldn't be noticed.
Their destination was the Service Hanger, straight across the area of concrete it was. Shadows fell over the entrance and the roof shimmered with a few rays it managed to catch. Logan pressed on forward, close to the fence. His bootless feet meant complete silence. Expert precision in his steps continued and enabled him to walk at a pretty fast pace. Aurora flew on beside him, keeping an extra eye out for any humans that happened to look their way.
Closer they went, successful so far. The Hanger was almost in reach, and Charles was right, a plane was in there, almost ready to leave the building. The entrance remained a good number of metres away when a voice suddenly spoke up. Logan felt the words cut through his chest like a knife as he heard them. He desperately flung himself to the darkest shadow, back pinned against the cool metal of the wire fencing. Aurora flew on, head quickly flicking to find the owner of the voice. She spotted a man walk out of the Hanger laughing and chatting cheerily to a man, who still remained inside, "That should be done now Lenny, send 'er round for t'Captin."
The man called Lenny called back out, "Righto mate.. Wait, hold on, we're outta decaff on this. I'll just run up to the stock for some. Pete is such a lousy jerk, forgetting the decaff.. See you tonight Mick."
The man outside grinned, "Old Pete always forgets somethin'.. I'll be off then, gonna catch some sleep before me nightshift. See ya later, man."
"Aye.. I'm off to get decaff and give Pete a smack."
Noisy laughter came from the pair.
Lenny was seen running across the yard now, in the opposite direction to Mick, both were clad in bright orange overalls and they could be seen walking into the yonder distance clearly.
Logan quickly ran over to the plane parked inside the Hanger with steps to the open doorway that Lenny had left. Aurora gave a joyful sort of trill as Logan stealthily slipped under the shadow of the plane and round towards the awaiting steps. Aurora flew on up through the door whilst Logan ran up the steps behind. As he reached the doorway a strong scent of air fresheners and leather met his nostrils. He looked round with a raised brow, "Woah.." It happened to be a 1st class jet. He grinned to Aurora who was now in her human form.
Logan knelt down at the doorway, staring at the stairs for a moment, "How do we shift these? The plane won't move will it till they go."
He shrugged and lifted his fist, three blades slipped out. He drew them across the catches that held it to the jet. The metal clattered to the floor of the Service Hanger.
Suddenly..
"OI YOU!!!"
Logan's head snapped up to see Lenny returning with a box of decaff coffee. Lenny dropped the box onto one of the tables around the Hanger and ran on towards the jet at the strangers, "HEY!!"
Logan gasped, panic quickly flooding through him. He leant forward, his palms to the stairs as he pushed it away slowly, straining from the immense weight of them. It slowly rolled away and hit a tool box that sat on the floor.
Lenny ran past the stairs, shouting up to the pair, "Get outta there! I'll get security!!"
Logan disappeared from the door and within an instant it slammed shut on Lenny's shouting. Aurora ran through to the cockpit, closely followed by Logan. They both dropped down in the large seats, staring at the controls.
"This is worst than the Blackbird.." Muttered Logan softly, his head lifting and looking upon the ceiling where the controls continued.
Aurora looked at the controls a moment before she pointed to a row in the middle of the ceiling, "Look, it says start here.. I'm guessing flick these two for the engines, then release the brake."
Logan watched as her gold hand lifted two of the switches, slowly, a low drone started and escalated in pitch. Lights suddenly flickered on around the control panel and the hum of the engines continued to increase.
"Release the brake!" Cried Aurora, quickly point to a level labelled 'Brake'.
Logan eyed at it a moment, then at her before he pushed the level down. He suddenly blinked, staring as he felt the craft ever so slightly roll forward, "Now what?" He exclaimed.
Aurora shook her head, staring, "Um.. Perhaps it's like the Blackbird."
Logan lifted his head to her, almost wanting to reach out and stop her as her gold adamantium hand lifted a large black lever in the centre of the control panel. Logan gasped as the plane suddenly moved forward at a fast pace. He looked quite alarmed as the craft moved steadily out of the service hanger and across the area of concrete.
Aurora looked delighted and gripped to the steering device as she guided it out across to the concrete. Logan still looked horrified and clung to his seat.
"Watch what you're doing!" He said, voice higher than his usual rough murmurs.
Aurora gently tilted the steering device and carefully brought the plane out onto the concrete despite the shouts from Lenny who was now running along beside the plane. No other humans had noticed.. yet.
Lenny was calling for assistance, screaming across the yard, "It's him! That Wolverine! He's hijacked our plane! He's gonna kill us!!"
Logan nudged Aurora and pointed out through the window of the plane. The students were seen behind the fence, covered well by the shadows. Aurora looked to him, a faint smile on her face, "This just might work.."
Logan nodded, now walking out of the cockpit, "Gonna grab those stairs." He gestured lazily out of the window to a set of stairs that had been left on the concrete.
Aurora spun round in her seat, "What about that human!"
Logan smirked a little, his brow rising playfully, "I can handle him." With that he disappeared out of the cockpit and could be heard running to the plane door.
