Sorry for my dissapearance, I'm going to try and get back into the X-men so I can finish off this fic.
Chapter 15: Holy shit...
"Hey, you two want to stop drooling? I don't want my shoes to get ruined." The girl said, smirking at the two X-men that had just turned the corner and spotted her.
"Uh..." One said, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah.. Sorry about that."
The other grinned sheepishly. "Yes. Ve didn't mean any offense..."
The girl smirked more. Flipping her blonde hair over her shoulder, she said: "No problem. I'm.. Flattered." She said, then gave a slight wave. "Catch you later.." And she left.
Once alone in the halls of Xaviers institute for gifted children, Logan glanced at Kurt. The two had the same expression on their face. "Who the hell was that?!"
Kurt grinned, slightly surprised that the girl hadn't had been freaked out by his appearance, since he had no inducer on. "I don't know... A new student?"
Logan smirked a bit. "I sure as hell hope so."
It'd been three weeks since the incident with Silver Fox. Logan had healed, and there had been no reports of anything like the Shiva Virus occuring, so things were peaceful.
Logan and Kurt had become nearly inseperable, Kurt taught Logan not to take things seriously, and Logan taught Kurt that strong guys generally garner women's attention more.
He and Kurt were usually alongside Kitty and Rogue. The four contrasted personalities got together relatively well... Besides that one time Logan made Kitty cry by pretending to go Feral.
She paid him back by making cookies mixed with vinegar and garlic powder.
Rogue and Logan had a love-hate relationship. Sometimes they got along really well, other times they were swearing at each other and making fun of the way the other talks.
Logan glanced down the hall after the new girl, still smirking. She looked almost like Silver Fox, the hair, the eyes, everything.
Kitty and Rogue stood at the other end of the hallway, behind Logan and Kurt, having barely seen what had happened. "Guys." Kitty says, giving a roll of her eyes to Rogue and smirking.
Rogue would have played along, but what Logan and Kurt had said after the girl had left surprised her. Logan finds her attractive, huh. She thought, pursing her lips. Fine. She can have him.
Kurt looked over his shoulder at Kitty and Rogue. "Hey!" He said, turning around. Logan turned as well. "Did you see zhe knew girl?!"
"Yeah, we saw her." Rogue said grumpily, causing Kitty to look at her.
"Any idea what her name is, darlin'?" Logan asked, the pairs walked towards each other.
Rogue was about to tell Logan to not call her "Darlin'" for the fiftieth time, but Kitty interrupted. "We don't know. She showed up this morning."
Kurt grinned. "Zo! She has no friends yet, eh?" He elbowed Logan. "Zhis could be a good opprutunity for us!"
Logan smirked slightly at Kurt. "Slow down, Bub. We might need T'do a lil' reconnaissance B'fore you go courtin'."
Rogue rolled her eyes. "Reconnaissance? Y'make it sound lahke it's a mission, Logan."
"You 'Member what Chuck told us." Logan said, "A man can't get very far on his own."
Kitty laughed. "Logan listened to a teacher?"
"Shut up, half pint!"
"Make me, hairy!"
Kurt smirked. "Remember zhe last time you two got in a fight?"
Logan tilted his head. "Yeah.. I can still taste the vinegar, too." Kitty laughed again, Rogue started to walk away. "What's the matter with you?"
"Nothin'. Somethin' wrong with me walkin' away?" She asked.
Logan raised an eyebrow, but shrugged.
Later on, Xavier had rallied the X-men in the war room. Behind him stood Ororo and Hank, and at Xavier's side was the girl. All the guys were speechless, which earned Scott a punch on the shoulder from Jean.
"Alright, X-men. We've a new student." Xavier said. The girl was wearing her uniform, kind of a dark skin-suit with a zipper that goes from the chest to her stomach. "Her name is Heather. Her mutant name is "Charmer". I see that some of the students have fallen to your power already..." Xavier mused, looking at her.
She just smiled sweetly. "I wasn't using my power." She said, then walked over and took a seat beside Logan. Rogue, who was had been sitting one seat away from Logan, sneered.
"Well." Xavier started again. "Sorry that there won't be time for a welcoming party, but we've things to do after today's training. Kurt. Logan." Xavier said, looking at them. "You'll show Heather the Danger room, and get her started on the beginner simulations. He power is not an offensive one, so she might need some assistance."
Heather glanced at Logan, then over at Kurt. "Hrm.. These two will surely make me feel safe in the "Danger room."." She said, winking at Kurt, who nearly melted from his chair.
"Er... Yes. Well then. The shedual will be pushed back one hour while they prepare her. So that means an hour of extra sleep, and.." He cast a glance at Jean and Scott, who were arguing silently. Scott was on defense, Jean on offense. "And an hour for you two to settle that. You're dissmissed."
Logan, Heather, and Kurt stayed behind at Xaviers request. "Like I said earlier, she might need assistance. She has a weapon if things get too rough, but remember: The training is trying to acheive a mission without using a weapon."
Logan and Kurt nodded, then led Heather to the danger room. "Right. You got yer weapon?" Logan asked her, lighting up a cigarette.
She nodded, removing a large, bulky looking pistol from a holster on her hip. "Yep. Right here."
"Izzat what I think it is?" Logan asked, narrowing his eyes on it. Kurt blinked, not knowing what the hell was going on.
"Depends." She said, smirking and putting her free hand on her hip.
"Mauser military.. No.. It's a fake, isn't it?"
"Yeah. It's chinese." She said, looking surprised. "Didn't think you'd figure it out."
"You do any bandit-shooting?"
"Of course." She replied, smirking. "How else am I supposed to compensate for the horizontal muzzle-jump?"
Logan returned her smirk, Kurt cleared his throat. "If you two aren't done being creepy, zhen ve should start zhe simulation!"
Logan and Heather each looked at Kurt an nodded.
Kitty followed Rogue outside of the institute. "Oh, come on, Rogue! She wasn't that bad!"
"Whaddaya mean "Wasn't that bad?"?! She was fawnin' all over them!" Rogue said in a growl.
Kitty stopped beside Rogue. "You mean, all over Kurt and Logan." She corrected. "What's the matter, you like, got a thing for one of 'em?"
"No!" Rogue said, glaring at Kitty. Kitty saw right through her friend.
"Alright, alright! I'll take your "word" for it." Kitty said, smirking wryly. "I won't tell Logan."
Rogue's cheeks turned so red it was nearly visible through the make up. "Don't you dare!"
Kitty grinned a bit, but let the subject drop.
Later that night, Logan was outside having a smoke. He glanced around, swearing that he saw the outline of a man standing on top of the gate. He rubbed his eyes, and the image left. "Hrm.." His chest rumbled slightly, feeling a bit weary now.
"Something wrong, hun?" A woman's voice asked. He looked over his shoulder and saw Heather standing in a robe.
"No. M'minds playin' tricks on me." He said, flicking the cigarette away. "What're you doin' up?"
"I never get much sleep." She said, sighing.
"Huh. Me neither." He replied.
"Well... You mind keeping a girl company? I could use someone to talk to." She said, glancing at him hopefully. With a shrug, he walked to the door and opened it. She stepped in and he followed her.
Outside, it began to rain. Only Heather saw what it really was.
She saw it. It was raining blood.
The end.

There, how was that? My first update in a couple of months... I hope it doesn't dissapoint. My updates might be few and far between now that play practice has started (I got the lead in the competition play this year, so I'm going to be a busy lil' loser.), but I'll try and keep updating.
