Okay, I know I'm really bad on updating chapters and their time
intervals...what can I say I have no time in my life...need to make more of it.
Does any one know how you can make more time in the world? I'm sure it
would help everyone out. Teachers are being mean...but hey spring break is
coming up soon...two weeks to go...maybe then I will have time. Anyway...here is
the next chapter of the story. I hope you enjoy. Oh as always I do not
own Smallville or the X-Men only my own imagination and the story of
course.
Oh and 'this' means that there is telepathic communication going on. Ok on with the story.

New York
"Clark thank you for coming into see me." Professor Xavier announced as Clark came into his office. It was the morning after the 'incident' and Xavier knew that things would need to be cleared up. Obviously that would be a bit of a problem.
"Of course Professor any time," Clark said and sat down in one of the chairs in front of his desk.
"I think we need to make something very clear here, there is no fighting on the school grounds. If it gets out to the press that mutants are fighting each other and that they are on the same side, well that is just not a good thing to have happen. Do you understand Clark?" Professor Xavier asked of Clark, he was getting very shifty and nervous, to be expected of course.
"I know what your talking about Professor, and it was a misunderstanding, I didn't know it was Logan at all." Clark spilled out, he wasn't the type of person to be questioned easily, and it made him too nervous that his secret might slip out. He knew he shouldn't have to worry here; it was just habit after all.
"I understand that Clark, but you need to be more careful when it comes to your abilities, I know your parents have told you that." Professor Xavier told him with a knowing smile.
"Right...ok I'm sorry...I already apologized to Logan, what more do you want from me?" Clark asked.
"I need you and Logan to work together, to be able to get along...there might be something in the future that we might need you and Logan to work together on." Professor Xavier hinted at, Clark was now very confused at his words, something was going on here, and no one would tell him what.
"I know what I am telling you is quite confusing right now, and probably a little scary, but you can trust me Clark." Xavier informed Clark, his mind was very confused, his thoughts jambled, but the message had gotten across to him.
"I know, I will try to work with Logan more, get to know him better, but that does go both ways doesn't it?" Clark asked unsure if his questions were the right ones to be asking.
"Yes of course, I will be talking to him later today," Clark just watched him, the Professor wasn't sure if he had been clear, "Clark you may leave, I believe you have a class in a few minutes. Oh and Clark, no powers in class...some of the other professors have been saying that you have been using your super speed to get to class on time" Professor Xavier informed him.
"Of course professor" Clark laughed and left the room. Xavier breathed a sigh...that had gone better then expected. Now for the hard person to get to.
Elsewhere in the School
In another classroom Logan was with a class, he was now teaching a martial arts course and later on in the day he taught art. Art, now that was a surprise, he didn't know a thing about art...but it worked and the kids seemed to think he knew something about art. "Okay class dismissed and remember to practice...this is a skill you will need to know...not like a class like math or science." He informed the class trying to keep a straight face himself, unlike the kids who were laughing as they were picking up their things and leaving the empty classroom, that he used for both of his classes. Later on he would have to get the art supplies out for the day, and the books. But for now he didn't have to, so he sat back and watched the activity outside. Rouge was out there right now with some of her friends, thankfully not with that Clark kid. That kid was just too scary. His thoughts were at peace and he was about to get up and get those art supplies out before the familiar voice came in his head. 'Logan can you please come to my office as soon as possible.' Logan sighed Professor Xavier was calling him this could not be good. 'Remember to guard your thoughts Logan, I can still hear what your thinking, don't worry it wont take long.' The voice in his head said, and Logan could feel it leave; now he had to go face the Professor. This should be interesting, especially after last night.
Professor Xavier's Office
He was coming, and he was relaxed, that was a good sign. Logan was not a person whom you wanted to meet in a bad mood. His emotions took over for him. Not a good thing to happen to someone in his position. He was a teacher and a mentor now. Not that he had made any improvements; there was always room for more though. Logan was moving through the school at a leisurely pace, saying hello to students and telling them to get to class on time, normally that was what Professor Xavier wanted, but today was not one of those days. Time to tell him that this is not a conversation that could wait...not after what he had seen in Cerebro this morning.
'Logan, when I said to come to my office I did not mean sometime today I meant now.' Xavier could feel his dismay at having his thoughts invaded again. Logan's thoughts gave him away, he was not happy but he was manageable. Professor Xavier decided he best break the news gently to Logan. Logan walked into his office a mere minute later; he still had on the clothes that he used to teach martial arts.
"You called sir?" Logan asked, obviously annoyed at being called in.
"This is no time for joking around Logan, please take a seat" Logan got the hint and sat down immediately.
"I'm afraid we are going to have to call the X-Men into service again, and soon. As of now I can not tell you why, or what will be going on, or when this is going to happen other then its soon, but I'm going to need you especially for this mission." Professor Xavier informed Logan.
"Of course, what do you need me to do?" This was business now, he was needed, and he was more then willing to help fight for the cause.
"Ororo, Scott and you will be on this mission, I am expecting all of you to be at top notch at a moments notice." He said.
"Of course. Have Ororo and Scott been informed?" He asked curious as to why they were not being informed all at once.
"Yes, I told them this morning. You are wondering right now why I asked you in by yourself." Xavier told him, it was almost time to break the news.
"Yes, frankly I am." Logan told him trying to get to the point as soon as possible; he had a class to get ready for.
"I am also going to be bringing in a student for this mission, I want you to help train him." Professor Xavier told him.
"Of, course, which one?" Logan asked wonder who it was going to be. Professor Xavier took a deep breath...oh this can not be good Logan thought to him self.
"Clark Kent" Professor said simply, the air was as thick as if there was a wall right between them, the Professor holding his breath and Logan just sat there unable to know what to say next. Clark Kent of all people why him.
************************************************************************
That's it, I know another short chapter, what can I say, maybe I just can't write long chapters. Now it is time for you to review. So what is the mysterious mission, you will just have to wait and find out. Chapter 12 is already in the works so you will not have to wait long.
Oh and 'this' means that there is telepathic communication going on. Ok on with the story.
