Chapter 2
By Patriot For Christ
The students that where in the class-10 group headed over to the dining hall where Emma and Jean would announce the two students who would go on their first mission. It was quite nerve-racking for the students, since they each wanted to go on their first mission.
When the kids settled down and where seated, Emma Frost made her way to the head of the table and sat down next to Jean.
"I know that each of you knows why you are here." Emma said, looking at each one of the children. "I'm also sad to announce that Marie and Emily are not eligible to go on their first mission. That is why they aren't here."
The kids stared at her as if she was going to go on for the next hour.
Jean then stood up and Emma sat down. "We will now announce which ones will go. First of all, we have mutant codename: Swordsman. Second we have mutant codename: Oak. The two of you will go on the mission with the X-men to Australia. I'm sure the two of you are very excited." Jean looked at the two boys. "Oak, Swordsman, you two will stay here for the next few minutes. The rest of you may leave."
The kids stood up and left, all except for Swordsman and Oak.
"You two have been watched and studied by some of our teachers. We have found that you two would be excellent for this mission."
The two boys, whose names where really Kyle (Swordsman) and Matt (Oak) listened happily.
"You will now head down to the danger room for a eighteen-hour training session. Yes, I know that is incredibly long, but we have to make sure the two of you are well trained. And, it won't all be training, so don't worry." Jean told them.
After that, Jean pressed a few buttons on the wall and an elevator shot up. "Just take this elevator down to the danger room where you will meet with my husband, Cyclops a.k.a. Scott, and Logan."
They walked inside and Jean pressed a button. Emma and Jean then waved and the two boys immediately where sent down to the danger room.
"Well, lookie here!" Logan smiled.
"So, you two are the ones that got picked?" Scott smiled
"Yeah," Kyle smiled. He walked over to a chair and sat down.
"Whoa! That's my chair." Logan joked.
"Okay, I'll give you a quick heads-up on the danger room instructions." Scott said. "First of all, you get a small remote to turn the exercise off in case you get freaked out or if it's too much for you. Second, you will be going up against a virtual team of the Brotherhood, so do not expect an easy fight."
"And," Logan added, "This will be an hour long session whether you win or lose."
They did the training session for the next three hours until they got to have a brake.
"Do you guy's prefer Chinese, Thai, or some other kind of food?" Logan asked.
"I personally prefer Mexican!" Scott said.
"I wasn't askin' you!" Logan said. "I'm going to head out to get some food, and I was wondering what they wanted!"
"Whatever's fine." Kyle said.
"Yeah… Whatever you're getting." Matt added.
"Guy's, with an attitude like that, you're never going to get a girlfriend." Logan chuckled.
The two of them stared blankly at Logan.
"Just kiddin'."
"Fine, in that case I'll take some Thai food." Kyle said.
"Mexican." Matt added.
"Sure thing. I'll be back before you can say the Gettysburg Address." Logan smiled as he walked out the door.
"I don't even know the Gettysburg address." Matt joked.
They each took a seat around a small table and began to talk.
"Was he being serious about that 'girlfriend' comment?" Kyle asked.
"Yeah. But that's nothing to worry about. I'm sure you guy's don't have problems finding a girl to hang out with. Well, as long as it isn't Marie or Emily." Scott told them.
"What's different about Marie and Emily?" Matt asked.
"They are Logan and Piotr's kids. As you may know, they are the most protective dads you're ever going to find. I'll bet that Logan will die before his daughter gets married. If his daughter doesn't die before him." Scott said. His voice trailed off as he finished his sentence.
"Well, I already know a girl that I like to hang out with." Matt said.
"Yeah, me too." Kyle added.
"Then, you two have nothing to worry about!" Scott smiled.
Pretty soon, Logan walked in the door and with some small containers of food. He sat down and they all began eating. He and Scott both where eating some sort of steak and vegetables. As for the two boys, it was oriental food.
Seven hours later, they took another brake. They had been going over the boys abilities and how much they could handle by themselves. It had been quite an exhausting workout, so Scott had prepared a special supper for them. It was an extremely high protein, high carbohydrate energy food. It was what they needed for the next nine hours that they would be exercising. They sat back down and began to talk for a while.
"So, Logan," Matt said, "Do you have any advice for me?"
"What?" Logan asked. "I hope you're not…"
"About girls. Earlier, you seemed like the girl expert yourself." Matt joked.
"Yeah. I'll give you one rule about girls." Logan said, glaring at Matt.
"And what is that?"
"Stay away from my daughter and you'll be fine." Logan replied.
"So, is your daughter ever getting married?" Kyle joked.
Logan glared at him. "What did you say? Of course she will!"
"Well, I'm just asking because you seem like the guy who wouldn't let her get married until she's eighty-two!" Kyle laughed.
Logan stood up. Scott sighed and bent his head over.
"Okay, if you're gonna offend me, let's take this to the danger room."
