Logan returned from taking the students to school. Except for Kitty that is. Xavier thought she needed to sleep in. As he walked into the kitchen, he heard the doorbell. Grumbling, Logan walked over to it and opened it.

Tabitha grinned at the hairy Canadian, and sped past him. He rolled his eyes, and closed the door behind her. "Welcome back Trouble. Good thing for you I'm not ready to start a training session right now."

"Aw, you know you love me. When does Kitty get back by the way?"

"She's upstairs in your old room. We moved her there."

"Thanks." Tabitha said, as she ran up the stairs

Logan grumbled again. "I'm going to need more beer."

Kitty hadn't gotten much sleep. She kept experiencing it over and over again. Just as she started to cry, someone knocked on her door. Wiping her eyes, and trying to make herself presentable, she walked to it and opened it. Tabitha swept her into her arms before she could say anything. Kitty gave up trying to hold the tears in.

As Logan walked up the stairs to go to his room, he smelled fear. Following it, he came to the girls wing and saw Tabitha holding Kitty. It was Kitty he was smelling it from. 'snikt' "Who hurt you?" he snarled. "I'll slice 'em up."

Blob was cracking his knuckles. Pietro had a maniacal grin on his face that would scare Wanda if she hadn't decided a couple of days ago to go to the beach with one of her few friends. Lance was just barely able to control his powers. Toad was silent for a change.

Pietro looked at Lance and said "You might want to control those powers a little. I don't mind destruction and mayhem, but the X-men will home in on you." Then he looked back at the trans-am that had hit a trench in the road that had suddenly appeared thanks to Lance. It was on its side, with the driver standing beside it cussing up a storm and waving his hands.

"Just help me come up with a plan will you? He's surrounded by a lot of people, and I want to get him alone!"

Toad looked up, and spoke for the first time since they left. "Chill, we'll get it done. We might not have been good at defeating the X-men in the past, but we're definitely good at setting up an ambush. And this guy isn't a mutant from what you told us. Shouldn't be too much trouble at all."

"I want to hurt him, badly."

Tabitha looked at Logan. "Let us girls talk about it, will ya? If we need anything we'll call for you."

"Fine. But I get first dibs on hurting whoever it is." Logan stalked off.

"I'm staying here for the long haul, Kitty. Whatever's going on, I'm here to listen. As well as blow things up." She grinned.
