Spiritwalker
A/N-Repeat after me, fanfic, marvel owns these characters, I'm just escaping reality with them.
To my loving reviewers-Sorry for the delay, work and moving are making my mind swiss cheese and it's hard to figure out where I am going to go next with these guys, but, Emma will be coming soon, I promise, along with some other "visits".
To my non-reviewers-Please review. I appreciate it.
I call this chapter-A little help from unexpected friends....
Brennan stared at the floor of the devastated safe house, figuring out the dust pattern on the floor. It was obvious there was a huge fight, and it didn't look like Jesse and Kari won the fight. Shalimar stopped next to him.
"Lexa found the Helix and is heading for us," she said, watching Brennan study the scene.
"We found Kari's pack, and the flooring here is evident a fight," Brennan stood and looked at the doorway, "I don't like this, Shal, something is very wrong."
"Lexa's working on the tracking software for Jesse's comring," Shal put an arm in Brennan's, "It should help in finding him."
Brennan nodded.
"We need to do it soon."
The angry man headed for the older one.
"Leave these kids alone, Eric, they haven't done anything to you," he continued, "You shouldn't have pulled them from the safehouse."
"Ah, Logan, I knew you would show up eventually," Magneto purred, "You know what I want from them."
"You're not going to get it, Magneto," the angry man continued, "Beating up on these kids won't help you, and your men are gone."
"Took care of them so quickly?" Magneto turned to face Logan, "You know I can cause you the greatest pain."
"Not before I cause you more," Logan continued "You think that I can't stop you?"
Jesse glared at Kari from his spot in the hallway. The mere thought of Magneto and Wolverine face to face just inches away was quite overwhelming. He knew that Magneto had more than likely wanted the new mutant database. It was the only thing that logically made sense to him.
Why was Logan there? Jesse had heard Adam's stories of the bezerker's rage from his days at Genomax, they used Logan as a model of why they wouldn't work on adults. No one knew his last name, not even Logan. Was Logan alone though, and why was Kari so confident?
Kari stepped in front of Jesse and out into the hall. She stared down Magneto.
"Leave him alone!" she commanded, "You don't have power here."
Kari's body went very stiff and a bolt of light, similar to Lexa's flew from her right hand. Magneto was powerless to fight it and Jesse was freaked. He reached out to grab her from the hallway, scared that she would get hurt, but saw Magneto fall.
Logan stood there stunned.
"Jean?" he asked, startled as he looked at Kari.
"Nope, Uncle Logan, it's me, Kari," she said, smiling, her hands down, "Let's get out of here."
After tying Magneto up, the trio headed out of the warehouse complex, following the path that Logan had created on his own. Kari had been strangely quiet, Jesse following her as she paced after Logan.
As they hit the doorway, they were met with bright sunlight.
"You have any idea where we are?" Jesse asked, squinting in the sunlight.
Kari closed her eyes and shook her head. While she didn't know, perhaps the spirits that followed her did. She smiled slightly, turned and grabbed Jesse's hand. She tapped his comring.
"Lexa," she said quietly, "Use the locator, we're here."
"Thank God," the relief in Shalimar's voice rang through the com.
Jesse smiled for a second, then turned on Kari, his face changing.
"What the hell was that back there? What were you thinking? That was MAGNETO, Kari," Jesse started, the older brother tone uncontrollable, "You could have gotten us both killed, and what the hell was he wanting?"
"The new mutant database," she said softly, "You know it, I know it, and Adam knew it. That's it. I have a copy, that's what was in my pack."
"He beat he crap out of you for a database?" Jesse's tone changed, "And you would have died to protect it?"
"In a New York Minute, Jesse," Kari sighed, it had been a very long day, "You have to remember, we're here to help and be good guys. That's what I do."
"Hey, bub wait a second," Logan turned on the molecular, "She just saved your life and you're throwing her under the bus?"
Kari smiled.
"Uncle Logan, it's okay," Kari continued, motioning to the older man, "When I was growing up, I spent my summers on my dad's reservation. Logan rescued me once, long ago. I bonded with him and I thought he might have heard me when they knocked me out."
"Actually, I did hear you, I could have sworn it was Jean," Logan said softly, "But it can't be her."
Kari grabbed his hands and looked into his eyes. The pain there said it all. Jean Grey, who he had mentioned to her in letters was gone.
"Logan, I am so sorry," Kari rubbed his fingers, "It was her though. She loved you, you know."
Logan nodded. The silence between them was shared by Jesse. He had heard of Jean Grey's death and it had saddened him as well.
"Your eyes weren't deceiving you," she continued, "When a spirit wants to help, they sometimes mirror in my form."
Logan was about to respond when the Helix landed next to where they stood. He hugged her, knowing that the response was not needed. Jesse watched Kari with Logan. Mentor and student.
They were soon met by the rest of the Mutant X team, hugs to both Kari and Jesse, even the elementals hugged Kari, and strangely, there were no ill after effects. Logan was introduced, Brennan had to hold back the awe and Logan politely asked for a lift to the X-Mansion.
