A/N: thank you for the review. This is a short chapter.

"Who the hell are you?" the owner of the metal claws asked gruffly.

Victoria stared at the Claws then to the owner. Beads of sweat were trailing down her face.

"Logan calm down. She's just the new teacher," said a boy sitting behind a wooden counter.

Logan suspiciously looked over the teacher and returned his claws. The boy walked over to Victoria and escorted her to a seat next to his.

"Don't mind Logan. He's always prepared to pounce on anyone," the boy said laughing.

"I don't pounce," Logan said taking a sip from his soda.

Victoria's heart was racing, but slowly it began to calm itself. "I just came for a glass of water," she managed to say.

The boy got up and walked over to the refrigerator to retrieve bottled water. "Here you are," he said handing her the bottle.

"Thank you…..

"Oh, the names Bobby or Iceman," He answered.

"Thank you Bobby. I'm Victoria," Victoria continued.

"When did this place get a new teacher?" asked Logan still eyeing Victoria suspiciously.

"Today," Bobby said flatly.

"Today," Logan laughed, "So let me get this straight, you just suddenly showed up today."

"I didn't just suddenly show up," Victoria said defending herself.

"Then why didn't I know that you were coming?" asked Logan.

"Well maybe if you showed up to one of our meetings you would have known about it," said a voice in the doorway.

All three looked over to find Scott standing in the doorway.

"Scott, how nice of you to join our little party," said Logan sarcastically.

Scott ignored Logan's remark, "What are you guys doing up anyways?" he asked looking at Bobby then to Victoria.

"We couldn't sleep, well I couldn't sleep," answered Bobby.

"What are you doing up? Shouldn't you be keeping Jean warm," smirked Logan.

"At least I have someone to keep warm," Scott said giving Logan a smile.

Logan released the middle claw to reveal a not so subtle symbol.

Scott ignored the gesture. "Why are you down here?" He asked Victoria.

"I had a bad nightmare," she answered.

"Must have been pretty bad if you're willing to come down here and put up with Logan," Scott said with a twisted smile towards Logan.

"Do they always do this?" whispered Victoria.

"Pretty much," Bobby answered with a laugh. "It's their favorite hobby."

Victoria laughed, "I think I better go to bed."
