So they did, Shadow seeing that she had relapsed again took a ride on Logan's shadow she knew he'd never even notice her. When they reached the meeting room, Logan raised an eyebrow, the room smelled and felt, just plain comfortable. There was no air of tension in the room. It surprised him because usually he could smell every emotion that clung to a room. But in this one he could not, not at all. He saw a navy blue love seat and put her in it. Her body began to twitch as he lay her down but then settled once she was put into the chair. Logan felt at that moment he needed a cigar, this girl/woman was puzzling him. It bothered him that she was like this but then again why should he? He hardly knew this woman but yet there was something odd about him and her and how they connected together.

Nova settled herself and her wings behind her on a low chair so that she could place her wings behind it. Mech and Illusion settled themselves on a leather couch, not sitting near each other but close enough. The door opened again and Hack walked in his hair shading half his face. Logan finally got a good look at the one they called Hack. He actually had dark brown hair and light mahogany eyes, and his form was well built even though Logan knew he spent most of his time on the computer tapping away. He liked the friendly smell that came off of him when Hack walked up and introduced himself.

"Logan, I'm Hack, that's Nova who you have already met, Illusion, Mech," He pointed to each one and they nodded, "and Shadow." Logan suddenly felt a wind behind him and spun, claws on his right hand extended. Hack and company looked on with surprise,

'He can move fast,' Illusion thought,

Yes he can, a voice whispered into his head.

MOTHER?

Ouch. Yes I'm up.

"Uhhhh..." Everyone turned to face Mother, "That was not pretty."

Logan pointed at the dark figure behind him,

"So is this what you meant? Consulting the spirits?"

"Yes," Logan slightly shuddered as she spoke, "I am like a spirit," He felt the same wind past by him again, and he sniffed and found she had no scent at all. His eyebrow slowly went up,

"Surprised Logan? You shouldn't be, I am not human if that answers your unspoken question, I am a mutant through, but I am a vampire." Logan stared at her as her eyes lifted to him; he took a small step back as silence overtook the room. Logan looked at her swirling eyes, they were at one point red, and then black, turning into white, then starry, then they colors of the rainbow. Logan found them fascinating as he stared into them. Tomi knew he was caught in her eyes and she knew that she was reading him.

Shadow dear, he is fine I have checked him already.

I know but I wish to find out for myself.

Always independent aren't you.

You taught me to be so.

Remind me next time I say that. Shadow mentally laughed and broke the connection between her and Logan by blinking.

"Great eyes girl, I like them."

"Glad to see that someone likes them other than my family of course." Logan gave a smiling smirk.

"I think you should do your little appearing trick to visor boy, I'll definitely get a kick out of it."

"Considering you do not like Cyclops, you would get a kick out of it. And yes you can have a cigar," Logan gave her a look, She feebly sat up and waved her hand, a low winding sound ensued.

"I just turned on the vents, go ahead." Logan sighed and pulled one out of his pocket, bringing it to life.

"I'll join him," shadow said pulling a smoke out of the air it seemed. Logan looked at her in surprise, "I'm older than you think," She said inhaling. They both sighed at the same time.

"So, the Professor wishes to meet us Logan?"

"Yeah," said Logan looking at Hack, "He says that he has been sensing high activity around and that led us to you."

"Well I suppose that could account for most of it, but not all." Tomi spoke, "What do ya mean by that?"

"We run a mutant shelter down the road where we provide food for mutants that are not, let's say are not all that human." Logan nodded understanding what she meant.

"Well where do you get the supplies?"

"That is classified, but in your case Logan we earn it and we take it." Tomi's eyes quickly flicked to Hack, it was so fast that Logan almost did not catch it, but he had and caught the meaning.

"So," Illusion simply stated, "When are we leaving?"

"Soon, we need to leave because they are coming."

"Damn. So soon?" Mech looked angry, almost troubled.

"Yeah, Logan and I almost got caught, we managed to disappear but not before they had an idea of where were. So we have to leave tonight."

"How are we going?" Nova looked at Tomi, "By bike of course, unless you prefer teleportation."

Everyone including Shadow whose pale complexion which he knew wouldn't change turned green. In fact everyone's face had a shade of green except for Tomi, there was a wicked gleam in her eyes.

She gave a half-smirk, "What?" she said innocently as she could. Logan knew that past experiences with teleportation were not good, especially over long distances.

"So we leave in two hours, agreed?" all nodded.

"Mech, Hack, Illusion prepare shut-up and lock-out mode."

"Shut-up and lock-out?" Logan raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah," Mech turned to him, "Shut-up is close-up and lock-out is lock and load." Logan ferally smiled, he liked these kids.

"Let's get to it then."
