Perfect By Nature

Chapter XIX:  Perfect by Nature

By:  Michelle

Logan came back outside grumbling about the toilet.  Damn kids shoving a toilet paper roll down the fucking toilet.  Then, the mother fucker sprays me.  What next?  He stopped at the basketball court.  "Where are Jamie and Evan?"

Oh shit.  Bobby looked around.  "Who?"

"Jamie and Evan."  Logan replied.  "You know.  Multiplicity and Ororo's nephew.  Also known as the two mischievous little boys I told you to watch."

"Oh that Jamie and Evan."  Bobby began to panic.  "They are playing hide and seek."

"Oh really."  Logan grunted as he walked forward.  "And let me guess, they are hiding."

"That's a possibility."   Bobby's said with his voice shaking. 

"GOD DAMNIT DRAKE."  Logan fussed.  "IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THOSE BOYS, YOU AND MUSCLES ARE IN SOME DEEP SHIT WITH ME."  His claws extended and he stormed off.

This is the second time I messed up.  Bobby sighed.  How could I be so stupid?

As Ororo sat down in the driver's seat of the car, she felt extremely awkward.  It had nothing to do with Splinter and Professor talking each other's ears off in the back seat of the car.  Or the fact that Professor invited five turtles and a rat to the school.  No.  Those weren't the reasons at all.  The problem was seated in the passenger's seat.  That's where Kurt sat.  And that's where he remained silent.  It was killing her.

Kurt fiddled with his rosary as he looked out the window.  It was around one o'clock, so he had to have his image inducer on.  If only he could hide the hurt he was feeling.  He had thought for sure Ororo was feeling the same way he was, but it was obviously not the case.  Once again, his heart was in the warpath of being broken. 

Ororo couldn't stand the silence anymore, plus she wasn't really interested in hearing the various stories Splinter and Professor X were exchanging about their students.  She turned on the radio and adjusted the speakers to the front of the car.

Perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

"How can you read your scrolls while Leo is driving?"  Michaelangelo said to Venus.  "I'm getting sick again just thinking about it."

"Well I'm bored."  Venus replied.  "Besides, Donnie's fiddling with some stupid invention of his and he's not getting sick."

"For your information."  Donatello jumped in the conversation.  "My invention is not stupid.  It is guaranteed for success." 

"Just like that last invention of yours." Leonardo added.  "What was it?  The lighten up ray."

"Hey, it worked."  Donatello defended.  "Just not like I had hoped.  This time, however, I know will have success."

"So, what is it?"  Venus asked.

"It is a Retourer Ray."  Donatello explained. 

"And what does this Retourer ray do?"

"It sends an object to a different location."  Donatello looked at the puzzled looks on their faces.  "Let me explain.  Say like we want to send the lunatic motorcycle driver Raphael back to the lair."

"Ok."

"First of all, you have to set the coordinates on the dial here."  Donatello showed them.  "Then, you take aim and whatever the beam shines on is transported to the location you set on the dial."  He smiled proudly.  "I got the idea from the time Venus summoned a spell to send Dragon Lord back to his palace."

"And you think this could do the same thing."

"Of course."

"Ok Donnie.  Whatever you say."  Leonardo replied and shook his head.  "I'm gonna put on some music.  Maybe it will make the drive seem faster."

never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled

Where the hell are them kids?  Logan sniffed around the air.  He followed the scent to the base of the tree.  Fuck.  "JAMIE.  EVAN."

"Mr. Logan."  Jamie whined from the top of the tree. 

"What are you two doing up there?"  Logan fussed.  "Climb down right now."

"We can't."  Evan replied.  "We're scared."

"Great."  Logan mumbled.  "Alright.  Stay there.  I'm coming up."  I knew I should have asked Rogue to watch them.  Professor better not be lenient on Drake this time.  I ask him to do one thing and he can't even get that right.  How hard is it to watch two eight year olds?  Now I'm the one stuck climbing this fucking tree. 

"Hey Mr. Logan."  Jamie said with a pouty face as he sat on the branch beside them.  "Are you mad at us?"

Fuck Yeah.  "No munchkin."  Logan replied.  "Not at you."   Drake is in such deep shit.  "Come on you two, let's get down."


look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she

After what seemed like endless hours of driving, they all finally pulled up at the mansion. 

"Damn."  Michaelangelo said as he got out of hummer.  "This is a school."

Xavier chuckled.  "This was my home ever since I was a little boy."  He explained.  "I converted it into a school a few years ago after teaching my first students how to control their powers.  Ororo is one of the few that joined as a teacher here."

"Awesome."

Donatello's eyes widened.  A school for mutants.  This is like a dream come true. 

"Come this way."

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie

"I can't believe the two of you could be so irresponsible."  Logan fussed at Bobby and Piotr while the rest of the students played in the rec room "And I expected better out of you Drake, especially after what happened in the mall the other day."

"We're sorry Mr. Logan."

"Yeah, well sorry doesn't cut it."  Logan replied.  "What if one of them would have fallen?  Did you ever think of that?  How about the fact that there were intruders in the mansion the other night?"

"Sorry."  Bobby hung his head. 

Logan grumbled a few things under his breath when he caught the scent.  SNIKT.  His claws extended to attack.

"Logan, it's alright."  Xavier said as he entered the room.  

"Alright my ass."  Logan replied.  "You went to find Kurt and you bring home a pet store."

Leonardo pulled Raphael back after that comment.  "It's alright Raph.  Calm down."

"One of them in particularly happens to be one of our uninvited guests from the other night."  Logan said as eh got up in Leonardo's face.  "It was you, wasn't it?"

Leonardo's eyes widened.  "How did you know?"

"The nose knows."  Logan replied.  "If you get my drift."

"I didn't mean to alarm you."  Leonardo said in his defense. 

"We'll see."

"Logan."  Xavier said to him.  "Perhaps an explanation is in order."

"Yeah."  Logan retracted his claws.  "Well start yapping' Chuck, cuz I ain't getting any younger."

i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore

After the explanation to Logan, The Turtles found themselves in a whole new world.  They originally thought everyone would freak out by their appearance, but that was not the case.  In fact, they were curious and asking questions to no end.

"Ms. Munroe.  See, see, see."  Jamie said to Ororo.  "I told you there was a turtle eating pizza last night, but you didn't believe us."

"Yes, you sure did."  Ororo admitted.

"What kind of pizza you like?"  Evan asked remembering what his aunt told him the other night.

Leonardo smiled.  "I like strawberries and chili pizza."

"Gross."  Evan replied.

"It's an acquired taste."  Leonardo laughed. 

"Speaking of food."  Logan said.  "What are we gonna feed the kids tonight?"

"Well, since everybody likes pizza."  Xavier replied.  "It would be the best way to go."

it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool

Venus looked over at Ororo, then Kurt.  She could sense something between them.  Kurt seems so upset since Ororo arrived at our home.  Why is that?  She seems upset too.  She sighed and thought for a moment.  Neither of them has spoken a word to each other since they were reunited.  I wonder what happened.

Ororo took a quick glance at Kurt as she debated what she wanted to say to him.  How could I be such a fool?

Another chapter done!  I'm so proud of myself.

The song breaking up the scenes in this chapter is Everybody's Fool by Evanescence.  Also, if no one noticed, I got the title of this fanfic from the first line in the song.

Anyways, thanks for the reviews.  See you next chapter.
