Chapter Six- Logan
After we were giving our instructions on what we were going to do, Storm and
I went down to the Lower Levels and got suited up and got in the jet. I had
been taught how to fly it, but I wasn't that great.
Soon we were in the air flying toward the place where they had found
Nightcrawler. I wasn't there when Storm and Jean... found him.
We arrived there and landed the jet somewhere where it wouldn't found by
anybody but us. Then, Storm lead me to a rundown church. Walking in I smelt
whoever we were looking for, but couldn't hear or see her. "Hello?" Storm
called. All I could think was Yeah, that'll do us a lot of good.
Then something lept out at me from the shadows and plunged its claws into my
back. I struggled with it for a moment or two before successfully throwing it
off. There it was, laying on the floor panting, barely able to hold its head
up, the mutant that we were looking for. She was a thin wirey thing, looked
like she hadn't eaten in a while. She couldn't be any older than fifteen,
maybe sixteen at the tops.
Bending down, I picked her up and Storm and I went back to the jet. After a
while we were landing in the lower levels. I carried the girl to the medical
area to find Dr. Macoy, Scott, Nightcrawler, and the professor there. Laying
the kid on the table I said, "She's weak, probably starved."
Dr. Macoy, Jean's replacement, started to work over the kid. Then, Storm and
I told the Professor what had happened when we went to find the girl. The
professor looked at the girl, there was a look of pity on his face.
After an hour or two everybody except Hank was in the professor's office,
talking about the kid, then the good doctor came in. There was an odd look on
his blue, fuzzy face.
"Hank?" asked the professor, "What is it?"
"I'm not sure..." said the doctor, then, looking at the rest of us for a
moment, his eyes lingering on me, "Could I speak to the professor, for a
moment, alone?"
We all looked at them for a moment, and then left the office. When we were
out we all looked at each other, shrugged and walked away.
