Chapter two – Popping up
Logan, who had been taking an early walk to clear his mind, started walking back towards the X-mansion. It was about 6 am and as a wind rustled the leaves Logan caught an unknown scent. He sniffed the air and then headed towards the woods on the grounds. He quickly sneaked in the direction of woods and followed the scent with his nose. He came to the edge of the wood and found something very odd, even for him. Someone was lying there, asleep. He walked closer to the sleeping form cautiously. The person was lying under a blanket, which covered most of person's head. It looked like the person was camping on the school grounds.
'How the hell did someone get in without setting of the alarms? And how did they manage to camp out here to top it off?' he thought. Logan went closer and grabbed the corner of the blanket and yanked it off of the person, which turned out to be a girl. She curled up like a ball to keep herself warm. She then reached out with her arm trying to locate her blanket so that she could continue sleeping. But she didn't feel the blanket, just a lot of grass… and a pair of shoes? She slowly opened her eyes to see someone standing threatening over her. She quickly backed away from him.
Who are you? What am I doing here? What do you want from me? I said in Arabic, thinking that I had been kidnapped or something. The last I remembered was lying on the roof, and all of the sudden I was laying here, wherever here was, while someone was standing over me. The man didn't seem friendly and he didn't seem to understand what I was saying and let go of my blanket that he was still holding. I was really starting to panic now. 'What if he's trying to rape me? Or kill me?' Thoughts like that were starting to pop into my head and it only made me panic more as I tried to crawl away from him, but I came to a stop as a tree blocked my way of escape.
"Easy there kid. I'm not going to hurt you." I stopped backing and looked at him shocked.
"You speak English?" He seems looked surprised by my question.
"Of course I speak English. Why wouldn't I?"
"Where am I?" I asked with my back against the tree, looking around.
"You don't know where you are?" he asked. 'How the hell can she break in and not know where she's broken into?'
'My heart is beating like hell and all this man could do was to ask dumb questions? What the hell is wrong with him? Of course I don't know where I am! He's the one who has kidnapped me. ' I was really starting to get angry. 'First someone kidnaps me, then the person wakes me up and now he's got the nerve to ask me if I know where the hell I am! Well I've had enough of that now!' I thought to myself. A rush of adrenaline went thru my body and I suddenly burst out.
"You have the nerve to ask ME if I know where I am. How the hell should I know? After all, you were the one who got me here!" He was taken aback by my outburst. Then things got really interesting…
"I got you here? What the hell are you talking about? You must have gotten drunk or something because you are the one who broke in here. How you got past the alarms I don't know, but one thing is for sure. You're not getting past me."
"Oh yeah! Try me, asshole!" I don't know why I yelled that, but what's been done has been done. I picked up a stick that was a foot away from me and got up, holding the stick as a baseball bat. The asshole in front of me only smiled and said:
"You think that's gonna help you? If you do then you're wrong. That's not gonna do anything but too piss me off more. You wanna know why? Because my entire skeleton is covered by adamantium. Not only that, I'm also the best at what I do, kid."
I froze. I couldn't believe my ears.
'He didn't just say what I think he said he did, did he?'
"Well kid, how's it gonna be?"
"No way! There is no way that you just said what I think you did! You are not Wolverine. You can't be Wolverine! There's no way you're Logan. Logan's just a made up. He's not real. You're just some whacko who thinks he's Wolverine. Yeah, that's what you are. Nothing else but a whacko that has for some reason kidnapped me and is convinced that you are Logan." Logan watched as I rambled on, trying to convince myself that he wasn't the real deal. That he was some nut-job.
"What are you rambling about? Why the hell wouldn't I be me?" he was starting to think that I had more than a few screws loose.
"You're you, but you're not Logan. That's all."
"The hell I am, kid. If I'm not who I say I am, would I be able to do this?" he said extracting all three claws on each hand.
My eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. That's then I did the only thing that made sense, I passed out for the second time of my life. The first time had been when I had had a very high fever.
"Great, now she fainted. Now I'll have to carry her and her crap back to the mansion" Logan said to himself while withdrawing his claws. He threw me over his shoulder like a bag and grabbed my bag. The rest he thought he could come back for. Then he headed for the mansion and the med-lab.
After Logan had brought the girl to the med-lab beast had taken over. They put her under observation while the other X-men were notified about the resent events. They meet up in the war-room.
"How did she get in without setting off alarms?" Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops, wondered.
"We're not really sure" Kurt answered.
The whole group were shocked by the fact that a girl had managed to get in on the grounds and camp out without them even knowing it.
"Does anyone know who she is?" Bobby asked.
"Nein, I don't think so" Kurt said.
"Maybe she has some sort of powers that makes her invisible to electronics?" Bobby said.
"Do we even know if she's a mutant?" Rouge said.
"Beast, the professor and Jean are trying to find out is she is right now" Scott said. As soon as the meeting ended Kurt bamfed up to the 'family' room to watch some TV.
Kurt wasted no time in switching on the television and leaping back onto the couch, not actually aware that someone he didn't know was currently occupying it. Belinda lay on the couch in a state of deep sleep; rudely she was awakened by the large figure of someone landing on her.
I can safely say that having a big blue cat thrown on me as a wakeup call was not the best of ideas. Thanks to my crude mouth the first thing that came out was:
"HOLY SHIT!!!"
My scream obviously shocked the creature that was currently laying on me since it sprung up in an extremely inhuman manner, leaping up to the high ceiling and grabbing on to the light fixture with its tail.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to abuse the good lord's name?" he spoke, or at least I assume it was a he by the deepness of his voice, in a rich German accent.
"Wow, a blue cat, my dreams really have taken a turn for the worse," I said almost to myself as I saw him just hang from the ceiling. "Usually they involve elves."
"I am not a cat!" he protested. He unwrapped his tail from the light and dropped back to the ground.
"Well you look like one, sort of, only you're bigger and blue, oh and you talk."
"Who are you and how did you get past the alarms?" he asked. I surveyed him for a minute: blue fur, pointy teeth, pointy ears, iridescent yellow eyes, and what was with that tail?
"Yeah, like I'm going to answer an elf-cat-thing with a pointy tail and a German accent, piss off!" I frowned and lay back down on the couch. I was stubborn, I still am, and I refused to believe that he, or indeed any of it, was real. No more alcohol for me that's for sure!
"Answer me, how did you get in here, libechen?" he asked me again, folding his arms.
"What did you call me?" I sat up and frowned, I hated being teased and this was no exception, dream or not.
"Tell me how you got here first."
I got up, walked over to him and stood opposite him; I was over an inch taller than him.
"Tell me what you said, you little fur-ball!" I scowled, glaring into his shining eyes. Suddenly he grabbed onto my arm and for a second I felt incredibly dizzy and I shut my eyes tight as a funny sensation overtook my body. Then, as suddenly as it had happened, it stopped. I was presented with the not-so-nice smell of brimstone, it stank like hell. Slowly I opened my eyes and saw my fuzzy elf holding a needle in his hand. Not good.
"Get that bloody thing away from me!" I shouted, backing away from him, I had an irrational fear of needles. Wait a second, why did my arm hurt? And my vision… going… blurred? Not good.
Belinda blacked out due to the aesthetic in the jab Kurt had just given her. Before she fell to the floor her caught her and lifted her off the ground. He was surprised to feel how light she was for a girl of her size, maybe there wasn't something totally right with her. He laid her down next to the other girl who had managed to evade the security systems. Having no more time to ponder this he went off to tell the others of the new stranger they had acquired.
