Unexpected shadows, Surprising electricity!
A/N: Hey ppl! Don't forget to send a review! Right in this chapter, ShadowFax and Jak get settled in to their new home, but they get a very unwelcome visit by Toad. Not a good start for these two new mutants, huh?
Chapter 2: An unwelcome Toad
The Velocity landed in the hanger as ShadowFax and Jak grabbed their suitcases. They were surprised by a huge welcome party in the hanger and couldn't help but smile at each other.
They soon settled into their bedroom, unpacking their suitcases. Jak changed into his casual clothes and threw his school uniform into his suitcase. ShadowFax then turned round when Jak gave the all clear.
ShadowFax sighed, "I'm going to miss England."
"Me too, but at least we don't have to wear school uniform." Jak shuddered. ShadowFax chuckled.
There was a sudden knocking at their door and a black woman came in.
"Hello, I'm Storm. It's pleasure to meet you two." The woman said.
"ShadowFax, please to meet you too Storm." ShadowFax said as she shook Storm's hand.
"Jak, same here." Jak said as he did the same.
"I've just come to give Jak his suit; I heard from the Professor that ShadowFax won't be needing one as she can shape shift into her suit." Storm said as she gave Jak a small box and left the room. Jak opened the box and pulled out an X-men suit.
"Cool, I'll try it on later." Jak said as he put the suit back in the box, "I've finished unpacking. I'm going to explore this place, see what's what and that stuff. I'll be back before you know it!" Jak said as he entered the hallway and walked off, leaving ShadowFax smiling after him and continuing to unpack.
Jak suddenly bumped into Remy, who wasn't looking where he was going.
"Ow! Oh, hey there, Jak isn't it?" Remy asked as he rubbed his head.
"Yes, but you should keep your eyes open...err...I haven't quite got your name." Jak said.
"Remy LeBeau." Remy said as he looked at Jak.
"Okay, Remy. Keep your eyes open next time, or else next time you bump into me, I won't be friendly!" Jak said threatenly at Remy.
"Hey, don't threaten me kid. You should know better than to not threaten those older than you." Remy said angrily.
"Pfft, yea, yea, so what!" Jak shouted.
The two stopped arguing with each other when they heard a girl scream and crashing sounds coming from ShadowFax's and Jak's dorm.
"ShadowFax!" Jak shouted as he ran towards the dorm. He screeched to a halt when a boy jumped out of the dorm, a Siberian tiger pouncing after him, roaring loadly. The boy screamed as he jumped out of the way before the tiger got him. The tiger followed and continued to chase the boy, who jumped around like a frog. The tiger jumped and caught the boy in midair and pinned him down on the floor. Jak came up and spoke to the tiger, when Jak grabbed the boy the tiger got off and Jak brought them face to face.
"Who the hell are you?" Jak said as the tiger growled, "It's okay ShadowFax, calm down."
"Wouldn't you like to know?!" The boy said, but then Jak hit him against the wall.
"I said, who are you?!" Jak shouted. The tiger started growling again.
"Okay, Okay! I'm Toad, I come from the BrotherHood of Mutants." The boy said.
"The BrotherHood of Mutants?" Jak said confused. Jak felt a hand on his shoulder and turned his head to see who it was. It was Logan.
"It's okay long ears. Let him go." Logan said. Jak reluctantly let go, Toad fell onto the floor. Toad moved away from the tiger, who suddenly shape shifted into ShadowFax. She looked angrily at Toad before going back into her dorm to finish unpacking.
"Oh, the name's Jak, Logan. Never call me long ears." Jak said as he followed ShadowFax into their dorm.

At dinner ShadowFax gasped as soon as she entered the dinning room.
"Oh wow! This room is so beautiful!" ShadowFax said, looking round the whole room. Jak shook his head.
"Why, thank you ShadowFax. We try our best to please our students." The Professor said as he entered the dinning room too, making ShadowFax jump. ShadowFax sighed.
"Professor, you made me jump." ShadowFax said with a chuckle.
"Sorry, I tend to accidentally make students jump." Professor explained as he passed ShadowFax.

As everyone was eating, ShadowFax was talking with Hank about helping her set her computer up in their dorm, while Jak was talking with the Professor about his past before he met ShadowFax.
ShadowFax sighed, "When we've got the computer up and running, I'll be able to send my mum an e-mail."
"Do you miss your parents?" Hank asked politely.
"Of course I do, but at least they'll have more money to spend on food for only them two." ShadowFax replied with a chuckle, Hank chuckled with her.
"You've got quite a weird and very dangerous past Jak. Have you told ShadowFax about it?" The Professor asked.
"No, I haven't told her because it might freak her out a bit. Really your the only person I've told." Jak said before he took a bite out of a chicken leg.
"I think sometime during your stay here at the instutute, you should tell ShadowFax. I'm sure she won't freak out, she's a mutant just like you now, remember?" The Professor said reasuringly.
"Okay, I will professor. I'll tell her in a few weeks, until we get completely settled in." Jak said before continuing to eat. The Professor smiled and also continued to eat.

ShadowFax soon had her computer up and running. While everyone was asleep the Institute was silent, but ShadowFax was wide awake writing an e-mail to her parents.
"Hey mum and dad,
I miss England, but I miss you more. The institute is fantastic; I've never seen such beautiful rooms before. Though they need to improve on their security, as I got an unexpected visitor while unpacking. A kid named Toad entered my bedroom, and then everything was mayhem. Thankfully, he left 5 minutes later, he got a big surprise when I shape shifted into a tiger and nearly clawed him to death. Jak is missing England too, but he doesn't miss the school uniforms, ha ha ha! That's Jak for you. I have to go sleep now, it's midnight and I'm afraid of getting caught awake. Reply back soon!
With lots of love,
ShadowFax "
