Authors Note: And now for the chapter you've all been waiting for, the chapter where the Warriors get to meet the X-Men, or at least some of them. :p and now to respond to some of your reviews. By the way, is anyone wondering where Rogue and Nathan were during the last chapter? I mean Nathan wasn't anywhere to be seen, and Rogue just disappeared...

ldypebsaby: Well now if I answered both of those questions than there wouldn't be much point to reading the story now would there? See if you can guess.

Mark C: You might have to wait a little for that danger room session. But trust me, there will be one.

animejunkie1008: Thank you. And I think at some point I will have Mike and Scott finish their conversation, but it will probably be a few chapters later.

Ayu: Thanks for the review! And yes, I know thirteen people might seem like a lot, but it's still fun.

Chapter 3: Meet the Roommates II

Wolverine's motorcycle sped down the driveway of the Xavier institute towards the garage. It was nice and quiet without the kids here. He was looking forward to just relaxing for a bit before the kids came, maybe watch some T.V. He pulled up to the garage and stopped when he saw another motorcycle. In his parking spot.

He sniffed as he checked out the bike; it was a newer model, very nice. The scents he got from it he didn't recognize. Two scents, one belonged to a girl... a woman, and the other to a small boy... her kid maybe? A mother and her son perhaps, he didn't recognize the scents but as he got closer to the door he did recognize one scent he got. It was faint, but it was there. Adanantium. He opened the door slowly as he came in. "Chuck?" He called as he sniffed, that whiff gave him a strong scent behind him; someone was standing there, without really thinking he drew his claws and whirled around with a yell. Only to be met by what looked like a ten year old boy holding up a book, which now had wolverine's claws through it.

"You destroyed my only copy of the scarlet letter!" The kid yelled at him as he let go of the book, which was suspended on Wolverine's claws.

"Um..." Wolverine retracted his claws catching the book and handing it back to Mike. "Where's the professor?" He asked taking another sniff of the air.

"He's in the living room with the others." Mike replied as he took the book and sighed, seeing that it was really destroyed now beyond readability.

"Others?" Logan asked raising a brow.

"Yeah. Others." Mike answered as he closed the book and looked back up to the man. Wolverine was short, but he was still three or so inches taller than Mike was. Not to mention the fact that Logan was buff, and mike was just... well scrawny, which made what he did next all that more surprising. "I hope you know you owe me a new book. I had to save up for six months so I could get this!"

"Calm down kid. I'll get ya a new book. You're too young to be reading this stuff anyway." Logan said taking the book from Mike. "I bet you don't even understand what it is you're reading."

"I-"Mike started, but the professor cut him off as he appeared in the doorway.

"Welcome back Logan. I see you've already met one of the new students." Xavier said as he wheeled into the room. "I'm sorry about your book Michael. We'll get you a new one as soon as we can, but right now, Logan and I have to talk." Xavier said and Logan nodded.

The two left, leaving Mike alone with one of his hardback journals. He sat on the windowsill and began writing.

MEANWHILE

"Everyone. I'd like you to meet Logan. He'll be your teacher for some training sessions, and some martial artistry if you're interested." Xavier said as he and Logan entered the living room.

Logan himself was surprised as he entered. There were about ten, maybe eleven, people there, the most notable was covered in golden brown fur, and had a tail, which was holding the remote control to the T.V. The other thing that was most notable was really two things, the two boys with blue hair. Twins, with an obvious dye job, that kind of color could only be the result of dye. They all stood up and from left to right Xavier introduced them. Starting with the girl with the fur.

"Logan this is, Jessica King also known as Animal, Joseph McKinley also known as Clone, Christian Van Hart also known as Dragon, Jonathan and William Howlett also known as Force and Warp, James King also known as King, Danielle Porter also known as Pitch, Grace Rutherford also known as Raven, Rebecca Davis also known as reflex, and Megan Lamont also known as Whisperer, and of course you've already met Michael." Xavier said making the introductions.

"Nice to meet you all." Logan said with a slight nod.

"Wait a minute. Has anyone seen Nathan?" Xavier asked curiously.

MEANWHILE

Rogue was walking down the hall of the dorm wing when she noticed an open door. It wasn't really like her to spy, but she was curious, so she stopped by the doorway and looked in.

There sat Nathan on his bed with his back towards her, his elbows resting on his knees and his head down. His room was now truly decked out in the gothic style. Shades were closed, music was playing, and candles were lit around a single picture on his nightstand. It surprised Rogue to see that the picture was of a girl Nathan's own age.

"You okay?" Rogue asked somewhat warily. "The door was open, Ah-"

"Get out." Nathan said his back still turned to her, not really moving. "And close the door."

"Are you-"

"I said get out." Nathan said bitterly as he turned, but not towards Rogue, towards his nightstand.

Rogue didn't know what to do or say. She stood there for a second and then closed the door. Slightly bewildered as she walked down the hall.

MEANWHILE

Michael's writing was interrupted as two cars pulled up the drive at roughly the same time. Out of the first stepped a beautiful, tall red head, which seemed the preppy cheerleader type. The second brought a brown haired girl who looked younger than the redhead. The two embraced slightly and then walked into the institute.

"Hello? Professor? Scott? I'm back!" The redhead called out as she and the other girl came in.

"Welcome back." Mike said looking over to them. "Name's Mike. I'm new here. The professor's in the living room I think, talking with Logan, I don't know where Scott is."

"Uh... Who are you?" Kitty asked raising a brow.

"Like I said my name's Mike." He said sitting up and closing his book. "It's nice to meet you Kitty. You too Jean."

"How'd you-?"

"Telepath." Mike said tapping his forehead with his finger. "It's an automatic type of thing."

"Oh." Jean responded with understanding.

"And sorry, I'm normally a lot friendlier, but that idiot Logan just destroyed one of my favorite books." Mike said pointing to the copy of the Scarlet letter that lay on the floor with paper scraps around it and three parallel holes through it.

"Um... Okay." Kitty said shrugging. "Well I'm gonna go put my stuff away." She said as she looked to Jean and left up the stairs towards her room. Jean followed, but right now she just wanted to talk to the professor. There was a new kid here? That was cool, but it was odd that the professor didn't tell any of them before they came back. She guessed that there just wasn't time. Oh well, having a new face around here might be fun. But he didn't seem all that friendly.

MEANWHILE

"Who's Nathan?" Logan asked looking to Charles.

"Another new student that I wanted you to meet." Xavier said with a nod. "But I guess you can meet with him later."

"Hey professor. I've been meaning to talk to you." One of the blue haired kids said. Logan thought that Chuck had said his name was Will.

"Yes William." Charles said politely.

"Well... I was wondering and all, New Years Eve is tomorrow night. Would it be okay to kind of... throw a party? Might be an interesting way of breaking the ice between us and the regular students." Will offered with a smile.

"Well... We'll see. There are other members of the faculty that I have to discuss it with." Charles said with a nod.

"Uh... Yeah. Well just let us know okay?" He said as he went back to talk to his brother and a few of the girls.

"A party?" Logan asked as he and Charles left the room again.

"It might not be a bad idea Logan. After all the children do need to get to know each other, and having some fun at a party might be a way for them to get closer without any pressure."

"Give me both groups in the danger room for two hours and I'll get them closer." Logan said with a smirk.

"I just might Logan. I just might." Xavier said as they turned the corner. "Ah Jean, Kitty, there you are." He said seeing the two of them walking down the hall towards Logan and himself. "Where are you two headed?"

"To the living room to watch some T.V." Jean answered with a smile.

"Yes... Well there are some new students here that I'd-."

"That's okay Professor, we've already met him. He met us by the front door. He was pretty ticked off at Logan though for destroying that book." Kitty interrupted.

"Well you see there's-."

"You should really think about replacing that book for him Mr. Logan." Kitty interrupted again. "I mean after all he is new you should cut him some slack."

"Kitty!" Logan yelled, which both surprised and stopped Kitty from talking. "The professor is trying to tell you something."

"...Yes. Well you see there's more than one new student." Xavier began. "Michael is just one of them. And he's also got a similar gift to yours Jean." Charles said looking up to her. "Which is why I want you to tutor him on how to use his abilities."

"Uh... Okay. I can teach him what you taught me." Jean offered as she put a hand on her hip.

"What other students?" Kitty asked curiously. "Are there any cute guys?"

"They're in the living room go and see for yourself." Logan grunted.

"Cool! You comin' Jean?" Kitty called as she started jogging towards the living room.

"Uh yeah. Professor? Where's Scott?" Jean asked glancing at Kitty as she started towards the living room.

"I have him picking Kurt up at the airport." Xavier answered. "He should be back soon."

Jean nodded and took off after Kitty. More like she allowed herself to be drug by Kitty.

Kitty's draw almost dropped as she hit the living room entrance. The first one to hit her eyes was this tall boy with long golden-blond hair that reached his shoulders, and the most mesmerizing green eyes that she'd ever seen. And the boy standing right next to him, short brown hair, handsome, tall, all of the guys were muscular and well built, but this one had an extra flare with gloves on each hand.

"Um... Hi. I'm Jean, and this is Kitty. We just got back."

One of the new ones got up, one who Jean noticed was completely covered and wore gloves on both hands. "Nice to meet you both. I'm Joe I guess you'll be calling me Clone." He said gesturing to himself. "That's Chris." He said pointing to Kitty's golden-haired dream date. "That's John. That's Will. That's James." He said pointing to a giant that stood up as his name was called. Six foot five or so inches, and more muscles than the governor of California. "That's Elise. That's Gracie. That's Megan. That's Jessica. That's Rebecca. And that's Danielle."

"It's nice to meet all of you." Jean said with a nod.

Kitty just kept her eyes glued on Chris who gave her a small smile. Jean nudged her a bit and she came too. "I'm Kitty." She said as if the entire conversation that had just happened had not taken place at all.

Joe laughed. "Nice to meet you too."

"Hey, you said your name was Jean?" Megan asked as she came up to them.

"Yeah." Jean nodded. "My name is Jean Grey."

"Oh cool. I'm your new roommate than." Megan said offering a hand. "Megan Lamont. AKA Whisperer."

"Whisperer?" Kitty asked curiously.

"That's my mutation, a kind of hypnotic suggestion, so I just picked the codename whisperer." Megan said with a slight nod.

"Interesting mutation." Jean commented.

"Isn't it though?" She said with a slight laugh. "When James saw me the first time he joked about it. Started calling me Obi-wan because it looked like a Jedi mind trick."

"So Kitty is it?" Joe asked with a smile. "What's your mutation?"

"I can uh... Phase through things." She said looking over to Joe. "Like this." And she took her hand and phased it through the wall, and held it back up again.

"Cool." Joe said with a nod.

"What's yours?"

"Well... It's a little complicated, but basically I become anyone I touch, even their mutation, I become an exact copy of them for about six or so hours." He explained. "Give or take."

"That's cool." Kitty commented with a smile.

MEANWHILE

Mike sat out in the windowsill of the entrance hall still. Writing various poetic verses, or sometimes switching a page and writing something else that he wanted to write. He had recorded the whole 'Logan destroying his book thing' and the entrance of the two girls into his journal. Maybe this place wouldn't be so bad after all, I mean come on, it does have a library.

Speaking of which, that's where Mike wanted to be now. He got up and closed his hardback journal, and put it under his arm as he headed towards the library. He was stopped though as he was passing the kitchen.

"Ah, and how fares my fellow Shakespeare reader?" Called Beasts voice as Mike stopped at the Kitchen's entrance.

"Okay I guess." Mike said shrugging.

"What's this? A frown doth dot your face young man, a lie you tell to me." Beast said with a smile.

"That's not from any of Shakespeare's works. You're just talking in old English." Mike said with a smirk.

"Ah good, I was afraid for a moment there that you would think it was a line from Shakespeare." Beast answered.

"You were testing me? Funny." Mike said with a smirk. "Here then. Where is this from?" Mike said clearing his throat.

"A smile for thee,

To shine away thy sorrow;

For Heaven is kind today, and we

Will hope as well tomorrow."

Mike recited the poem with ease and with a smile.

Beast seemed to be in thought for a moment... "Ah yes, Martin Tupper." Beast answered with a smile.

"I'm impressed." Mike said still smiling. "I've stifled English lit professor's with that one."
