Chapter 3: Train or play?
••••••••••
The next day was Monday. Most of the students at the institute were up early so they could get to school.
Strangely Jak was up earlier than usual. He had woken up with everyone else and couldn't get back to sleep, so decided to get up and head downstairs.
Jak yawned as he headed down the stairs to the lobby. The last of the mutants ran past, saying goodbye to Jak. Jak simply waved his hand in goodbye, fearing that if he opened his mouth he'd yawn again.
But as Jak went into the kitchen to get some breakfast there was a loud scream that echoed through the building.
"What the?" Logan asked, looking up from his paper as he sat at the table.
"BEAST BOY!" DarkFlare's voice yelled through the building. Jak looked back through the kitchen door in time to see Beast Boy quickly run into the lounge laughing.
DarkFlare soon came down, looking very angry. Jak didn't dare talk to her incase she snapped at him, neither did Logan.
"If Beast Boy ever does that again, he'll be chicken soup!" DarkFlare muttered loudly as she sat down at the table.
"What did green skin do?" Logan asked. DarkFlare's eyes snapped at him even though her head didn't move.
"Beast Boy happened to find I was still asleep, so thought it'd be funny if he changed into a baboon and stick his butt in my face!" DarkFlare answered bitterly.
Logan just coughed and went back to reading his paper. Jak tried to hold a laugh back but DarkFlare noticed. But she just smiled and sighed.

After a chaotic breakfast where DarkFlare was finally able to get her hands on Beast Boy and almost strangle him to death, everyone was in the lounge.
Jean and Scott had helped Jak wrestle DarkFlare away from Beast Boy, and were now watching the Teen Titans, DarkFlare and Jak in case DarkFlare tried to get Beast Boy again.
"Hey Cyborg, could you possibly show me how to play that racing game?" Jak finally spoke up, the silence getting to him.
"Sure! Then I'll have another player to beat!" Cyborg said, smiling. The two went over to the sofa infront of the T.V. and Cyborg began to tell Jak how to play it. Beast Boy quickly went up and watched.
DarkFlare just sat there, but by the looks on her face she was somewhere else in her head. She was obviously day dreaming which she did often when she was bored.
Half an hour later and Jak was beating Cyborg's butt at the game. DarkFlare was stood next to Jak, congratulating him for the fifteenth time.
"Sorry Cyborg, I should've warned you that I am the king at racing games." Jak said, smiling innocently.
"I shall beat you! Whether it be now or tomorrow!" Cyborg exclaimed. Jak and DarkFlare laughed, then DarkFlare watched as Cyborg and Jak began their sixteenth round.
Jean and Scott were still watching them, laughing as Jak beat Cyborg once again. This made Cyborg give up and let Beast Boy have a go at beating Jak.
••••••••••
It was 1:00pm and Jak had beaten Cyborg and Beast Boy 35 times each. Jak had now let Cyborg and Beast Boy race each other, finding that there was no way they were gonna beat him.
But as they were about to begin, the Professor came in. Cyborg and Beast Boy paused their game to listen.
"I see our new students are settling in nicely." The Professor said.
"Yea, but if Jak beats me at this game one more time I'm gonna blow my circuits!" Cyborg said.
The Professor chuckled. He knew Jak was King of racing games in this building as no matter who it was, even Logan hadn't been able to beat him.
"Your not the only one's Jak has beaten. He even beat Logan, isn't that right?" The Professor asked Logan, who had come up behind him.
"I admit, the kid's a natural at racing." Logan said reluctantly.
Jak folded his arms proudly and smiled. He and Logan were then stuck in a stare down.
"Well, I just came to tell you that I'm going to be away for the rest of the day to see someone. Logan will be in charge until I return." The Professor said. He then left the room, heading for the hanger.
"Oh dear, Mr. Moody is in charge! I think I better go hide somewhere!" DarkFlare said worryingly as a joke. Everyone broke into laughter at DarkFlare, all except Logan.
"Shut up and suit up. You've got training in half an hour!" Logan ordered. The four looked shocked, training!
Scott and Jean quickly left to do some shopping before Logan gave them any orders.
Outside, Robin and Starfire were sat under a tree looking very relaxed as they watched the Velocity fly off. Raven was in her room meditating. Neither knew that Logan was in trouble.

As the students arrived at the Institute after a boring day at school, they were surprised to see Logan tied up on the floor infront of them, that none of his claws could get to any of the ropes. At the top of the stairs, DarkFlare and Jak were grinning. Cyborg and Beast Boy were behind them.
"Students of the Xavier Institute! The evil wolverine monster has been captured and subdued. LETS PARTY!" DarkFlare yelled.
There were cheers all around as everyone split up and went to party in different rooms. Jak was racing Cyborg once more, with Kurt, Remy and Pyro as an audience.
DarkFlare had flown up onto a ledge in the lobby to keep an eye on the bound Logan, who was now gagged. She smiled as he kept trying to speak through the cloth in his mouth.

A/N: I wonder how DarkFlare, Jak, Cyborg and Beast Boy were able to tie Logan up?
Just to remind everyone, DarkFlare and Jak are copyright to me.
