Evaluation: Part I

Kale followed the southern teen and was soon sandwiched by the two girls who bombard him with question the entire way to kitchen; Kale answered as truthfully as he could without telling them about his former life in the Genesi Squad. Kale found it funny to give them half answers and leave them hanging on some points in his life. Kale found Amara and Jubilee to be startling similar to one of his old comrades; this made him a little unnerved by the revelation

When they got to the kitchen, Kale saw Kurt and Scott were already there getting food out.

"Hey, Kale, how are you feeling after this morning?" Scott asked, his a friendly grin let Kale know he was welcome.

"After beating the shyte out of that torture room, a lot better. Kind of a way to wake up the body on all levels, physically and mentally." Kale said, sitting down in one of the vacant chairs.

"Zhat was amazing, ze way you took on ze single handedly." Kurt said, as he laid food on the table.

"It wasn't that big a deal." Kale said, slightly embarrassed while every seemed to goggle at him in disbelief.

"Are you insane? You took on the Danger Room when it was on defense mode; that isn't a walk in the park." Scott said his hands in the process of laying down potato salad and some burgers.

Kale subconsciously picked up a plate and spun it on the side like a basketball on his finger. He then began to toss the various foods onto his plate, dipping and swerving the plate to catch everything that he tossed up.

"Well, I basically just followed my instincts. I mean, I'm part animal so when I get into danger a part of me joins with the primal rage in me to either defeat my enemy or protect my friends." Kale said as he lowered the plate and pick up a knife and fork, twirling them between his fingers

Kale had three burgers, half of the potato salad, two servings of salad, three pieces of corn and ten slices of apples. He didn't see the astonished looks of the people around him so he kept talking.

"Plus I've learnt, what, five or six different martial arts, so I'm alright as far as defending myself." Kale said as he dropped the fork in his potato salad and picked up a burger.

"Vhat styles did you do?" Kurt asked, before he sank his teeth in his own burger.

"I was mainly taught by one master for a long time, named Sensei Tattoo; I learned a few from here and there from the travels I've been on." Kale said, raising his scaled hands and began to tick his fingers off. "I have a grandmaster belt in Iaido, second degree black belt in Ninjitsu and Tae Kwon Doe and I have a black belt in Jujitsu and Kickboxing. My blood brother…he primarily learned Kickboxing, Ninjitsu and Tae Kwon Doe; but he is easily my skill level."

Kale didn't want the others to know who his brother was because from what he had heard, the X-Men didn't really get on with him and it would complicate things further. But he wanted to go and find his brother, not sit here and doddle; but he had promised that until he was demened fit that he would stay here.

"You have a brother?" Amara asked kindly, leaning on her elbows

"Well…not by birth, by adoption and an ancient ritual. It's really complicated; his nickname was Kaeru." Kale said, fidgeting with his salad before easily putting it all in his mouth; he added when he was finished. "I swear, if me and my brother were together right now, we would be good enough to take one any of you at anytime."

"Really?" Scott asked, a little miffed by the Irish teen's ignorance.

"Yeah, together we're unbeatable; we flow like water and rain, in sync and in rhythm." Kale paused as he lifted the burger to his lips. "He was really good."

"So, how good are you on your own, Drake?" Scott asked as Kale put the burger fully into his maw of fangs.

Kale's eyes harden and he gave Scott a dark look that would scare the devil back to hell; his red eyes seemed to gleam under his dark brow. He slowly stops chewing and looks down at his food, his free hand moving the shovel move food in his mouth when he made his point.

Spinning the knife around his index finger, Kale flicked his wrist and sent the blade flying towards Scott; he hadn't even looked up when he threw the knife, not that it would have made much difference. The blade flew through the air, speared Scott's burger right from his mouth and pinned it to the wall, the handle shaking like a humming birds wing.

Kale had moved so fast that only after a few seconds of the burger being gone did Scott react, tripping over himself, trying to dodge the already passed knife. All the other mutants made similar actions and stopped when Kale lifted his head, he looked at Scott with a smile that Summers had seen before but he couldn't remember where.

"Good enough." Kale said his voice a hybrid of growl and a sneer, his lips curling up to reveal the deadly teeth he held.

After lifting the plate and inhaling the food like a vacuum cleaner, Kale stood up and left the kitchen, dropping his plate in the sink as he left.

He walked as fast he could out of the kitchen and down the halls, his eye burning with fire behind them; his scales clicked furiously with annoyance that he had let Scott get under his skin. When Kale came to the stairs that lead to the second level, he gave a growl and leaped up into the air; flipping backwards twice, he landed perfectly on his feet. His tails had curled around him as he flipped so he looked like some kind of crescent moon being; when he had landed, it curled around his feet again.

"Oh my god, that was so totally cool" A high pitched preppy squealed, causing Kale to turn around.

At another hallway entrance he saw a small brown hair girl, her face full amazement and awe, with three other people. One of the others was a girl with brown with white streaks, who had her eye brows raised in admiration. They both had a black bag each with them and the other person who was a full grown man carried two.

But Kale knew who the man was standing with them was; his gruff looking demeanor and unshaven face gave it away. It was Logan, more common known as the Wolverine. Kale had admired this warrior for along time and still did.

"Thanks." Kale said raising his voice so she would hear him.

"My names is, like, Kitty Pryde." She said, her preppy voice easily carrying to where Kale stood. "This is Rogue and this is Logan, one of instructors."

Chuckling, Kale turn himself fully around and ran off the platform; as he flew through the air, kale flipped around and transformed back to his human state at the same time. He landed crouched on one knee, but with the grace and silence of the night itself. He stood up as though he was getting up from sitting down.

"Names Kale Nority and I'm Irish, not any other European country you can think up." He said, extending his hand out to Kitty who shook it excitedly.

"Wow, you are like buff." She said, looking at his arms in admiration. "Your almost as big as Mister Logan."

Kale extended his hand to Logan who put one of the bags down and took Kale's hand with a wry grin that Kale knew what meant; try anything and I kill you anytime, anyplace. Kale respected that, bowing his head to Logan to let him know that he knew the game and Logan returned the nod.

"I hear from Xavier that you got some skills on ya." Logan said, his thick gruff voice matching his face.

Logan subtlety tightened his grip and Kale responded, neither of them using their full strength. It was the first rule Kale had learned when facing a soldier of his rank, and that was never show your full strength unless you have to, so you catch the enemy off guard.

"You could say that." He said, releasing his hand and offering it to the other girl. "I take it that your Rogue, right?"

"That me, sugar; sorry, but I don't shake hands. I can't turn ma powers off and-" Rogue said starting to explain.

"Hey, it's alright. I knew a few mutants that couldn't do the same thing and they couldn't speak because of their powers." Kale said, holding his hand up in a friendly defeat.

"Oh"

Rogue looked at the new guy with a serious gaze; he had a course beard starting to grow and had bright red on black hair. His body was toned to near perfection and if he had Logan's healing power, he would be perfect. His eyes were a light but piercing red color, almost demonically threatening but at the same time inviting.

It was the understanding of her powers that also made he study Kale; he spoke like he had lived a thousand lifetimes and had seen everything to walk the earth. But the professor had said he was only seventeen.

"So kid, how you feeling?" Logan asked him as he put down the other bag, to which Rogue and Kitty readily followed.

"Like I need to do something that involves violence and intense fighting; do you have something like that?" Kale asked with a crocodile smile.

"Tell ya what bub; I need to evaluate you fighting skills so get changed into something that you can workout in and meet me outside the Danger Room." Logan said, gesturing to the bags they had bought in.

"You found some of my stuff?" Kale asked perking up, finally making his day a little better.

"Yup; clothes, shoes, music, a few DVD's, some drawing pad, a laptop, an Xbox and a black scabbard katana, that was stuck in the wall." Logan said, pointing to the bag on his left.

Kale knelt down and saw that his sword was rest on the top of the bag under the straps. Kale lifted the sword up tenderly and drew the blade half way out of the scabbard. The blade was still perfectly flawless and still had a razors edge. His eyes danced up the blade and saw the Japanese words engraved into the sword.

"Thank you; for everything." Kale said, looking up at Logan and the two girls and sheathed the sword.

"Your welcome, no get upstairs and get changed." Logan barked, making Kale chuckle

Kale lifted the two Logan had been carrying and put the straps crisscrossing across his neck and took the others in his hands. Kitty's and Rogue's jaw dropped while Logan smirked.

"Superhuman strength, it helps." He said calmly. "I'll be down in a few minutes"

Kale legged it up the stair and jogged down the corridor, the bags in his hands over his shoulders. As he rounded a corner, Kale would swear that it was the Gods way of introducing him to his future love.

Still jogging, Kale rounded the corner and slammed into a teenage girl; since he wasn't paying attention, Kale tripped over his feet and landed on top of her. Kale dropped the bag instantly and put his hands on either side of the girl's sides, while her arms went up to protect her face.

"It's alright, love, your fine." Kale said his voice a lightly tight from the sudden drop.

As he started to rise, the girl lowered her arms and Kale swore time must have stopped for them.

She had to just be a little shorter than him, maybe just beneath his head when they were standing. She had the most perfect and brightest green eyes he had ever seen, almost as if she had emeralds dancing in her eyes. Her hair was a wildfire color red, wildly racing across her head; it was pulled into two ponytails that rested on the top of her head. She had this fierce wild animal look in her eyes as well as across her entire face, like there was some kind of an animal

"Hi…my-y names Kale. Sorry about knocking you down." Kale said as he slowly rose, finding it hard to speak.

I'm-m…R-Rahne. Mae fault, I wasn' looking were I was going" She said, her voice just as nervous.

Kale slowly stood up and offered his hand to her, which she gently took. Kale slowly lifted her up onto her feet and grinned sheepishly, to which she giggled slightly. They stared at each other for a moment, unknowing that they both felt something in them trying to leap out to the other.

"Uh, I have to go get changed" Kale said awkwardly, picking the two bags up again.

"Oh sure, see ye around Kale" She said softly as he walked past her.

Kale looked over his shoulder and saw the girl called Rahne doing the same thing as she walked away. As soon as she was gone from sight, Kale let out a deep breath that he had been holding for what seemed like forever.

'What the fucking bloody buggering hell happened to me!' Kale thought incredulously as he walked into his room and dumped his bags on his bed.

As he rooted through the bags, he just couldn't get her out of his mind; it was if someone had come along and etched her perfectly in his mind. For some reason, when Kale's mind took in her aroma, it was strangely similar to a wolf's scent.

Kale shook his head and lifted the shirt he was wearing off, exposing the horrific scars on his body; he pulled a black t-shirt, then putting a larger sleeveless shirt over it. Tossing over the shirt over his shoulder, listened as he heard it land in the hamper perfectly.

Kale reached into his pocket and pulled out the three necklaces, their ornament dangling in front his red eyes. He set down the yin and the cross necklace and wrapped his dog tags twice around his neck, so pieces of metal were pressing against his neck. He did the same thing with the other necklaces and began to change his slightly torn and charred pants; he replaced them with baggy black pants.

Putting on a pair of brown shoes, Kale grabbed his katana and jogged to the Danger room.

When Kale reached the Danger room Logan and Professor Xavier were already there. Logan was dressed in what Kale presumed to be his fitting uniform; it was a lot better designed than what he had seen of the other X-Men.

"You ready, bub?" Logan asked with an arched brow.

"As I'll ever be." Kale said, holding himself to full height and his katana at his side behind his legs with the handle just above his hand; he turns to go into the training when he thinks of something. "How much do I hold back?"

"I wouldn't worry about that, just take into consideration that they haven't seen what you have and most of them aren't ready to." Xavier said.

Nodding Kale stepped into the room and looked around; slowly his lips turned into a an almost sinister smile, his human teeth tipped with a canine sharpness. His eyes began to blaze with the expectation of a good workout and a friendly brawl.

"So, who wants to go first?"
