"Yes Provessor? You asked for us?" Kurt Wagner's thick German voice sounded as he entered the man's office-classroom. Logan sauntered in after Kurt closing the large wooden door with a leather boot.
"Yes thank you Kurt." Professor Xavier answered motioning Kurt to take a seat. Kurt nodded in acknowledgment and perched on the back of the chair closest to Xavier's desk.
"And... thank you Logan for getting the door."
A nod and a half smile was all he received as a reply.
"Well," the Professor continued. "I've just received confirmation on one of the newest mutants I've just established recognition with on Cerebra."
"Confirmation?" Kurt inquired.
Charles smiled. "I recently received an e-mail from her father."
"Sign of the times." Logan stated from his position in the back of the room, leaning against the wall.
Kurt only nodded, still perched- tail twitching back and forth.
"Yes her father... Vargas Montique"
"Hmmm." Logan responded. Though his posture seemed more interested now.
Kurt only looked confused. "Ummm, sorry I have never heard of...?"
"Montique?"
"Ja" Kurt replied. "Vargas Montique is very... high profile... he's..." The professor began.
"A big shot on wall street... owns a coupla Starbucks too..." Logan interrupted. "Seriously loaded... surprised ya haven't heard of him..." he continued, turning to look at Kurt, who only shrugged.
"And therein lies our problem." Charles completed, triumphant to get back on track.
"What? That elf-boy doesn't know about 'em?" Logan grinned.
"No" said the professor suppressing a smiling. "High profile. Apparently, when the girls' powers manifested, someone on the employee payroll leaked it to the newspapers. So dutifully, the press and a fair amount of protestors have surrounded the Montique's estate with the girl and the parents inside. In the letter I received from Vargas, he was afraid the crowd could turn violent. He wants to get Leila, his daughter, out of there as soon as possible." The professor turned his look towards Kurt. "So your mission..."
"Should you choose to accept it..." Kurt continued. It got a snicker out of the Wolverine, but Xavier only sighed and continued.
"... is to go in there, obtain the girl and her family, secure any loose ends, and get back here. And to do it as discreetly as possible." Kurt nodded in acknowledgment. All business.
"And Logan." The professor continued. "You'll go along in case anything gets out of hand. Protect Leila and the Montique's." Logan nodded as well.
"I've written up some information that might be useful. Directions, a layout of the house, a secret way inside, names, list of powers we know the child to possess... They'll be expecting you... so choose a car from the garage and get started as soon as possible. I'll be getting her special accommodations ready while you're away." Professor Xavier concluded.
"Of course Provessor" Kurt bowed and jumped from his perch. Grabbing the indicated papers off of Xavier's desk, he bounded out of the room. Logan went to follow.
*Oh and Logan?* The professor thought.
Wolverine stopped from his position at the doorway, indicating he had heard the Professors thoughts. Raising a questioning eyebrow, he half-turned around.
"Try not to kill anyone." The Professor said aloud.
Logan only smiled, and closed the door.
