---- JFK International ----
"So tell me Ranma what did you do this time." The man with black hair, which was covered by a beanie, and was dressed in a flannel shirt with denim pants. Which was covered by a brown worn in coat that covered his shirt.
"Now come on why does it have to be my fault?" Ranma asked as he walked next the man that he had accompanied.
"So it wasn't?" The man said in a tone that sound interested as well as shock that his assumption was wrong.
"No it was. It's just starting to tick me off that you know me so well." Ranma said in a joking tone as he and the other man soon shared a laugh.
"Oh man you are something Ranma." The man said as he started to walk a little closer to his pigtailed companion. "So what did you do." The man asked again as he soon put Ranma in a headlock. "Come on Ranma tell."
"O.K. O.K. just let go already." Ranma said as he was soon released from the older man grasp.
"Well?" The man that had just released him sounded inpatient.
"I kind of pissed off Wanda." Ranma said meekly.
"How." The holder man said in a the same tone.
"I insulted her cooking so she started to attack me with her hex- bolts, and well lets just say that Eric was not to happy when he saw the mess that we had caused." Ranma said as he look back at the man that always looked intimating. Soon started to look like he was trembling but then busted up laughing.
"Man Ranma you need to learn to keep your mouth shut sometimes." The man said as they both continued their walk. "I mean come on you said that you have had worst then what you have seen Wanda make right?"
"Yes I have. It doesn't mean I what to continue to eat bad food Logan." Ranma said to the goatee wearing Canuck.
"Ranma you should be thanking the gods that you know me." Logan said as he put his arm around the shoulders of Ranma.
"Why?" He replied as one of his eyebrows rose upwards.
"I tell why. Your what twenty-one, twenty-two right.?" Logan asked. Then continued on when he received a nod of yes. "Well I will teach you how to be a man."
"Teach me?" Replied Ranma in a tone that only matched his confusion.
"You see Ranma there are three things that every man needs. Only some are too chicken to admit it." Logan said with a cocky smile.
"And they are?" Ranma asked hoping he wouldn't regret asking.
"Simple, but first you need to something before you get what every man needs, and that is money. Once you got that you have it made."
"Really? Ranma asked still skeptical.
"Its the truth every man needs to have money. Once you got that then you can the Beer to go out drinking, then the cigarette or cigars to smoke, and then you can get the woman to do what they were made to do."
"Which is?" Ranma asked knowing full well what Logan's reply would be.
"Fuck them that's what. I mean come on they are making viagra for women. Please that has been around for ages it's called money." Logan said with disgust as he and Ranma both picked up their own luggage which was more like packs.
"I don't know Logan maybe you got your... priorities wrong." Ranma stated to the man who just smirked right back at him. "I that is a rather crude way to think."
"Look Ranma I maybe crude about this, but I have yet to find a woman that could prove me wrong." Logan said as they both walked preparing to leave the airport.
"Yeah whatever so anyway who are we suppose to look for?" Ranma said as they both were walking through the crowded area.
"Don't know just look for someone with a sign that says John Doe, and your name on it." Logan said as they continued to their walk. "Look over there Ranma." Logan made a head gesture towards the area where a blonde teen was standing with a sign the had "Mr. John Doe and Ranma" on it.
"I thought you said it would say John Doe, and your name on it." Ranma said with a small smirk.
"Oh come on and don't start right now Ranma." Logan said as they made their way to the blonde teen.
"I can't believe you both passed the through the airport security." The blonde teen said as he greeted the two. "And your Ranma right I can't believe I finally get to meet you. The mutant that isn't a mutant."
"Yeah well not even Eric can figure out why the my mutant genes seem to be dormant, but they are there." Ranma said as he stood next to the blonde mutant both of them noticing that Wolverine had continued walking pass them.
"Looks like magneto was right in telling us that he works alone, also got to make sure Ranma doesn't know the true reason for Wolverines visit here." the blonde thought to himself. "Anyway Ranma I will be taking you to the apartments where Magneto told us to get you. it is only a few doors down where the rest on us live."
"Thanks but tell you what. How about you keep it." Ranma said as he motioned the blonde boy to walk with him.
"What do you mean Mag..."
"Look I know what he did and told you, but I won't be needing it even he knows that. Besides I love to city hop when I am away from the Savage Land." Ranma said as they both walked out of the airport.
"Wow so you must travel alot." The boy stated.
"Not really only when thing get real bad like they did the other day." Ranma said as they stopped to let the car pass in front of them. "Which he was right. It does happen alot." Ranma thought to himself.
"O.K. then thanks for the new room Ranma." The boy said hope it would be all right, and that he wouldn't feel the master of magnetism's fury.
"Hey lighten up Eric won't get mad trust O.K." Ranma said with a smile.
"O.K. if you say so. Well let's get to the truck." The boy said noticing that Logan was already there putting his pack in the back. "Man how did you know that was my truck?"
"Simple blondie I could smell you sent on it. I got a very keen noise." Logan said, with a smirk, as he sniffed to better emphasize his statement. However his smirk soon faded when he yelled out to the two other mutants. "Get out of here! NOW!"
However his warning was only seconds too late. The small area of the parking lot was destroyed. He was destroyed by the shower of bullets as they rained down on the three. Who wear torn apart by the speeding bullets that were coming from the roof of the airport.
"Hold your fire men. Beta team this is Alpha Team the target has been neutralize. Go down there and seize him." The voice said over the radio. As he watched as the team known as Beta swarmed to where the three bodies lied. "O.K. lets pack it up and move out." The leader said as everyone on the roof started to move as ordered.
"Alpha Team Leader Wraith this Beta Team Leader David."
"Yeah what is it." Wraith said as he and the rest of the team were leaving the roof.
"Sir one of the others mutants here is still alive."
"So what kill the damn mutie already." Wraith said with irritation as he heard this.
"I normally would have done so sir but it appears that this mutant has the same abilities as Wolverine here."
"Really now that is interesting." Wraith thought as he heard this. "O.K. we are taking him to so load him up in the truck with Wolverine, there is more then enough room in the truck for both of them to fit." Wraith said with a sinister smile while he thought. "Looks like we will be getting a new toy to play with."
"Yes sir."
---- Xavier Institute ----
"Professor X to all students. I am sorry to be interrupting all of you, but your presence is needed at the schools viewing room." The mentor of his students said using his mutant power to contact them.
"What seems to be the problem Professor? You don't think Magneto has found where we are?" Asked the tall Russian known as Colossus as he was accompanied by the long white haired woman known as Storm. While the other as well.
"That would not be the case for me summoning all of you. You see I had just located two mutants that are right now as we speak being transported by the authorities by military convoy." Xavier stated to all of them as the image of the convoy was shown. This military convoy consisted of bikes, hummers, and one semi-truck. "The two mutants that them have are located here in the semi-truck. I would like for all of you to go intercept and bring both of them back for their own safety."
"Well it seems simple enough." The equally tall leader of the group stated. "So do you have any idea who we are going to save?" Asked while he was wiping the sweat from his face from the practice he had with the youngest of the group. The teen known as Bobby Drake also now known as Iceman.
"Yes I have an idea who but both of them are proving to be rather hard to read." The Professor said a he wheeled himself to computer and started to type. "The first one is the mutant known as Wolverine I believe." This was receive by the group with a mix of feeling. The two oldest students of his school Jean Grey with the code name of Marvel Girl, was equally shocked as Scott Summers, the leader known as Cyclops. While the others were left wondering who this Wolverine person was to shock the two.
"O.K. enough of this. Why not tell the rest of us so we can all piss out pants as well." The white haired woman known as Ororo Munroe with the code name Storm said feeling just as left out as the rest.
"That is just it Storm. Wolverine is a very hard person to find. He is rumored to be nothing more then just that a rumor." Professor said as the image of a man was shown. The man was wearing tattered remains of military gear. "This is the only known image ever captured of Wolverine it was taken during the Gulf War when mutants were exploited, and sent on suicide missions. Since then it appears that he has been giving his services to those who need help with their problems."
"Problems? What kind of problems?" The youthful voice of Iceman asked.
"Wolverine is a "Solider of Fortune" Iceman. That is all you need to know right now." Professor X stated to the young mutant. "And this is the other mutant." He said as he once again typed on the computer. Soon the image was replaced by that of an image that appeared to be a School ID "This is Saotome, Ranma. This is another hard person to describe. You see five years ago when I first tested Cerebro. He was one of the first I had found Ranma, but just as I had found him he had seemingly vanished. However since then there had been strange occurrences since his disappearance."
"What do you mean Professor?" Jean Grey asked as she was sure everyone else was just as curious about that.
"For the lack of time I will state the one that occurred here." The image of a large home was shown. "This is a local British orphanage. It was on the brink of being torn down due to insufficient funds. However one of the children started to report that a shadow was coming by and was leaving various amounts of money." The picture again change to show a blurry image in a picture. "This was taken by one of the children there the newspaper tried to make the image more clearer they could. However we can make clearer and you can see the elusive shadow was none other then Ranma that saved that orphanage. This is just one of many that he was involved in." Xavier said as the image was now showing the image of Ranma dressed in black pants and an Asian styled purple shirt while holding a large pack.
"All right everyone lets head on out." Scott said, once the professor gave him the O.K., as everyone nodded in agreement.
"Not you Iceman." Professor said interrupting the group as they made there leave.
"Wh..What?" Iceman said shocked that the Professor was stopping him.
"This is going to be a very dangerous mission. I can not let you go out on it just yet."
"But Professor everyone helped save me from that sentinel when it attacked, and tried to kill me. It's only fair that I get to be there to help save Wolverine, and Ranma." Iceman said in a firm voice to the man know as Xavier.
"Very well you may go but be very careful." Professor said as he watched Iceman nodded and gave his thanks to him. "Good he is learning and adapting very well to the team." He thought to himself as he smiled.
"So tell me Ranma what did you do this time." The man with black hair, which was covered by a beanie, and was dressed in a flannel shirt with denim pants. Which was covered by a brown worn in coat that covered his shirt.
"Now come on why does it have to be my fault?" Ranma asked as he walked next the man that he had accompanied.
