Chapter 5 Invasion of the Easties

As the sun rose, the sound of alarm clocks followed. Logan couldn't help but turn as a Japanese boy zoomed right past him, appearing to move on a gale of wind. Laura laughed softly at Logan shocked gaze." That was Touji. He's our resident windwalker." She explained.Logan just slowly nodded." What's so different from your students and the ones we have?"

Laura pursued her lips softly." These students, unlike yours have an enhanced mutant signature." Logan raised an eyebrow.' I'm not Hank, you'll have to explain it." Laura smiled and slowly nodded." Like normal mutants, their powers are released during a time of trauma, but unlike your students, these students are not able to fit into a normal society." Logan blinks." Impossible... that one girl int he barn, she was fine." Laura looks to Logan." Aurelie? She's our newest arrival. She's one of the most... interesting cases we've ever seen."

Logan suddenly became interested." What exactly do you mean by that?" Laura's eyes narrowed to Logan." I'm afraid that information may only be discussed with hank or Charles at the current time." Logan blinked as he watched the woman walk off.He blinked as a pale child with white hair ran in front of him. In a swift movement, He grabbed the kid by the shoulder." Hey there.. What's the hold up kid?" The boy stood, staring at Logan with wide pale blue eyes. Logan blinked, eyes narrowing.

" I'm.. Nikolaus, sir." Logan smirked." Odd name... What is it... Slovakian?" The boy shook his head." Russian ,sir. I'm from Moscow..." His voice seemed rather quiet. Logan slowly released his hold as he heard a firm voice from from the kitchen." Come on Niko, get some food." Immediately Nikolaus ran from Logan and into the kitchen.

Logan frowned, a tad annoyed with all these secretive students, but calmed as he saw the one and only goggle-boy come in through the door." Where exactly are we?" he asked in confusion. " In the middle of nowhere." Logan said simply.

Slowly other student began to follow into the ranch house, looking about in awe." Wow.. this place is like, so rustic!" Kitty said happily with a smile. Kurt slowly nodded." And I smell some home-cooking!" Logan growled and grabbed Kurt's tail." Not so fast, Elf. There's students in there, and I don't think they'll be quite welcome to the intrusion." Kurt frowned." But I'm starvingk!"

Jack soon parted the crowd, followed by Charles. Charles gave a nod." Is everything alright Jack?" Jack nodded." Everyone's getting up, have a big day today after all. It's the big Rodeo in town. all the students here have an event to be in." Charles smiled." That sounds wonderful. A great chance for everyone to.. get introduced.." Rogue's eyes widened." What? NO way! A Rodeo? X, you ah out of your mind." Kurt perked up." Will there be rodeo food there?" Kitty smiled." I bet there'll be, like, a ton of cute cowboys too."

Logan gave a slight frown." Every student?" Jack nodded." Yeah, you have a problem with that?" Charles frowned as his eyes narrowed." It's settled then. We'll go."

Logan nodded, pulling Jack aside." What's with this one student I keep hearing about?" Jack's eyes narrowed." It's nothing you should be worried about. I take care of my students, you take care of your's. When we get back, we should even have a little game, my group against your's." Logan smirked and quickly nodded." You've got a deal, Dundee."
