Chapter Two
Professor Xavier rolled along the corridors of the school with a small smile on his face. His pale blue eyes scanned over the hallway as he approached the Danger Room. He stopped for a moment, catching a thought riding through someone's mind. His smile faded into a concerned frown. He turned to the hallway. Logan, he called out with his mind. Meet me in the Danger room, immediately. The Professor knew it was a bit late, but he also knew that Logan would most likely be up anyway.
Logan jumped up from his bed, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. He instantly heard the voice of the Professor in his head. He blinked his eyes and wiped the sweat away. His chest was heavily wildly, but he quickly calmed himself down. He pulled on a shirt and walked out of his room, closing his door quietly behind him.
He ran his fingers through his hair and headed for the Danger Room as instructed. He looked around; it seemed to be tense. The atmosphere was different and this worried him a bit. He clenched his fists and started walking a little bit faster.
He finally came to the Danger room and opened the door and looked inside to see the Professor, whose back was towards him. He walked in, stepping closer. "What's so urgent?"
The Professor opened his eyes. "We're going to have company."
Logan's brow furrowed and he stepped a bit closer. "What do you mean, 'company?'" He didn't like the sound of that, not at all.
Xavier turned around to face him. "It seems as if Mr. Stryker continues to be a hassle from beyond the grave--his brother, Daniel Stryker.
Logan crossed his arms. "You've gotta be kidding me?"
"You're being hunted, Logan. By another.. creation, of theirs. She's very close already."
"What's so special about her? I can take care of her, like I did the other b-… One." He tried to hold back his anger. His eyes narrowed.
"She's different, Logan. She may be more powerful than the last."
Logan's eyes widened and he growled, letting his arms fall to his side. "My ass."
"This is serious, Logan!" Professor called to him as Logan walked away.
"I'll find her," he said. "And I'll take care of her. Before she finds me." Logan grabbed nothing but the keys to Scott's motorcycle. He slammed the doors shut behind him. Dammit, he thought. There always has to be something.
He straddled the bike and put the keys into the ignition. He closed his eyes for a moment and sighed. "Dammit." He started the bike and left through the front gate.
Professor Xavier sat and watched at the window. He looked down with a worried expression. Jean? He called out for her.
Jean was in the medical lab, checking up on a few things. She jumped hearing his voice. Yes, Professor?
We have a problem with Logan.
