---- Present Time ----
"Wow I can't believe someone like Ranma was with the Brotherhood." Bobby thought to himself as they entered the school's grounds. "I mean here I was thinking that all the Brotherhood are the bad guys. But now I don't know. Ranma has been here for about a week, and he has been anything but that. And what about Logan. Ranma and him act like they have been friends for awhile, and if that is true does he know about Ranma and the Brotherhood? " Bobby continued to think as he and the others continued there walk in silence to the mansion doors, a silence that came after his talk with Storm. However that silence would soon end.
"Man I'm glad you guys came home." The voice of the person who was on their minds said as they all entered the mansion. "Cause I got a surprise for everyone. Follow me."
"A surprise Ranma?" Storm asked as she closed the doors.
"Believe me you will like it I just hope you guy have room for it though." Ranma said as he left the down the hall to the dinning room.
"A surprise is it safe?" Bobby said in a hush tone.
"Bobby!" Colossus and Storm said as they all proceeded to walk to the dinning room.
"Bobby don't start treating Ranma different just cause you now know the truth. He is still the same Ranma that we all know." Storm said before they entered the dinning room.
And what they found there was amazing. The dinning room was filled with food that looked like the kind of food you would get a five star restaurant. The food that was there was so delicious that all their mouths started to water at the sight of it.
"Well I knew you guys were going out for the afternoon so I decide to make dinner for tonight. I just hope you guy are not too full though." Ranma said sheepishly while scratching the back of head.
"You made this?" Bobby said in awe as he sat is his chair.
"Yeah well every now and then when I get the urge to cook. So I do and today was that day." Ranma said with a shrug.
"Well if it is as good as it looks I will make room." Ororo said as she took her seat at the table.
"But Storm didn't you have two hot dogs with everything a few hours ago." Peter said with a small smirk.
"Oh hush Peter. If we get to eat this only every now and then I will make room." Storm snapped back.
"O.K. O.K." Peter said defensively as he too took a seat at the table.
"Hey where is everyone?" Bobby asked.
"We are right here. Bobby." The Professor said with a smile as he and the others entered the dinning room. "I must say this is indeed quite a feast." He said as he took his place at the head of the table.
"Yeah so who ordered out?" Scott said as he sat down on his chair.
"Nobody did. I cooked it." Ranma said as he entered with the rest of the food. Which was balanced on each other with only a pair of chop stick. The they were all place, well more like tossed to there perspective owners. One would think a mess was made but that was not the case. They all landed on the table neatly without a single piece lost.
"Jean?" Hank asked as from his seat next to Storm.
"No." Jean replied.
"Sorry that was me too. You see before I left Japan I hand worked at a restaurant whose main attraction was that acrobatic skills in serving the food." Ranma said as he finally took his seat.
"Well that must be as sight." Hank commented.
"Yeah but enough of that lets eat before it get cold." Ranma said with a smile as he and everyone else started to eat. Well all most everyone that is. One person didn't even touch their food. And this did not go unnoticed.
"Is something wrong Scott?" Professor said as he stopped from eating his meal.
"I just can't help but wonder what brought all this on." He said as he looked at his mentor. "This is just too convenient if you ask me."
"Why don't you just ask me if I poison the food why don't you!" Ranma said standing up and slamming his hand on the table. Which cause everyone to stop as well by the out burst.
"Well I am not the one who was living with the Brotherhood for God knows how long!" Scott yelled back.
"You know something 'One-eye' you have been hounding since day one. I have put up with this shit from you for a long time now. But you know what I have had it! You are the one of worst kind of person I have ever met. Just cause I have friends in the Brotherhood back in the Savage Land I am black balled. Well guess what if staying here means I have to give up my friends well FUCK YOU SCOTT! I have had enough of this shit.!" Ranma said as he started to storm out of the dinning room passing Scott in the process.
"That was uncalled for Scott. Ranma has not shown any signs of having any ill intentions in mind." Professor X said as he looked at Scott. "There was no need for such an outburst."
"Professor I don't know why you can trust someone like Ranma, or even Wolverine for that matter." Scott said still standing in front of his seat.
"Why you still hesitant about placing your trust in someone who use to give his loyalty to who ever help line their pockets." Logan said as he walked to the seat that had originally been Ranma's, with plate in hand. Then proceeded to move the food that was on Ranma's plate to his, and would have continued had the looks that he was getting from the others stopped him. "What?"
"Why are you doing that?" Bobby asked as he looked at Logan moved Ranma's food to his own.
"Oh come on you have just tasted Ranma's cooking, and you have to ask me why?" Logan retorted as he finished moving the food and then took a quick glance towards the window. "By the way Scott that car of yours is nice I just hope your not to attached to it though."
"What the hell does that mean Logan?" Scott asked as he looked at Wolverine. The mutant with the name that best described him, but can also be taken as a warning.
"Well because there it goes right now." Logan said with a smile while pointing out at the window. And sure enough Scott's car was indeed passing the window. Only there was one problem Scott was not at the wheel.
"MY CAR!" Scott yelled out as he saw it leave the down the drive way.
(Heh heh) "You really fuck up now Scott, but don't worry I sure you'll get it back in one piece. " Logan said jokingly as he finished the food on his plate. "So Hank you told me earlier that you wanted me to test something for you?"
"Um.. Yes I did I have been working on the simulator that can help us train and even improve our abilities. I just needed to get some data on so that I came start to create an even more elaborate one." Hank said as he had now turned from the window to face Logan.
"Well then lest get this test out of the way." Logan said as he started to walk out of the dinning room.
"Maybe you should wait awhile Logan you did just ate." Hank said as he started to get up from his seat.
"You worry to much Hank. I have had to fight while on a full stomach several time. So this test of yours will be a piece of cake. Just give me a few minutes to get that uniform on." Logan said as he stopped from walking out of the dinning room. "By the way Scott whether you or anyone else here believes me. I did not know that Ranma was apart of the Brotherhood, but I now for a fact that Ranma doesn't have what it takes to kill anyone at this time."
"At this time Logan?" Scott said as he looked at Wolverine in the eyes.
"Everyone can kill it just a matter of finding the right buttons to push." Wolverine said cryptically as he walked out of the room. "Besides nowadays Ranma likes to get even instead told me he learned that from someone called Nabiki I think.
"Professor do you think we should go out and search for Ranma?" Jean asked.
"No Jean I feel Ranma just needs some time alone right now to cool off from all this." Professor said as he started to leave the dinning room. "Hank you don't mind if I see how Logan fairs against the simulator do you."
"No no If anyone wishes to please come to the subbasement right now." Hank said as he left to the subbasement.
"Well everyone you all heard Hank those of you wishes to see Logan's are welcomed to come." Professor Xavier said as started to leave.
"You mean we don't have to?" Bobby said with some hope in his voice.
"No Bobby all of today's lessons for everyone is finished you and everyone else can do as you please." Charles smiled as he left.
"Oh man I am out of here TV here I come!" Bobby exclaimed as he started to run out the room.
"OH no you don't Bobby!" Storm said as she left right after him. Peter followed the two not far behind while leaving Jean and Scott in the dinning room.
"Um.. so Jean." Scott started.
"I am going to see how Logan is handling Hank's simulation." Jean stated and not hiding her current anger towards Scott for his outburst during dinner. Also ignored Scott's darkened expression at her mentioning Logan's name.

"No you can't be serious!" Yelled out a frustrated brown haired woman.
"I am sorry Miss., but due to the fact that you were late the car that was reserved for you has now been given to someone else." The lady behind the counter said as she addressed the young women in front of her.
"No no that's O.K." The brown haired woman said as she sighed and left the to the lobby.
"Um excuse me."
"Look buddy I am not in the mood right now to be hit on." She said as her was now locked on the blue eyes of a man dress in a red Chinese silk shirt with black pants.
(Heh heh)"Not that I thought hadn't cross my mine but I could help but hear that you needed a car right now." Ranma said with a smile.
"Oh I bet you are going to give me a ride well." The brown haired woman started.
"No on the contrary you can have my car." Ranma interrupted while handing her the keys and the pink slip.
"Wh ..what ?!" The brown haired woman stuttered.
"Take it yours I was planning to leave the states for awhile after the plane stops at DC. So you can have it trust me this car is for you it's the red convertible." Ranma said as he turned and started to leave. "Oh by the way you really should consider not dying your hair you should be proud with whatever color you got."
"Wa... wait." The brown haired woman said. "Oh just great with my luck just watch it's probably a heep." She said not realizing how wrong she was before she sighed. "Hey wait a minute how did he know I colored my hair brown?!"
