Logan Parked his motorcycle outside the half destroyed Hotel, Looking up at it. A tall, lanky Boy came outside, staring at him with slightly yellow eyes. He walked over to Wolverine as three others came out and walked behind him. Wolverine got off his motorcycle and met them halfway. "Are you lost?" The boy asked. "No...I'm looking for Ada." He said. "You must be Logan then...You don't look like a Nightcrawler to me." the Boy said, Walking around Wolverine as the other three followed, looking at him up and down. "It's funny. I expected someone more...impressive." He said. "She told you about us." Logan said. "More than you know. Jean." He said and the little girl stopped in front of Logan. "You see...She's our Very well known friend. A maternal type of figure, if you will." a small boy said. "We are not humans, But Mutants like you are. We would not allow you to take her even if she was here." He said. "And Who are you?" Wolverine asked. "The Outcasts...I am Wolf. The little girl you see in front of you is Jean, That's Brain and Sticky." Wolf said, gesturing. "I was fighting Ada that one day." Jean said, smiling up at Logan. "Do you know where Ada is?" Logan asked. "She could be with Dutch...I mean, Dutch is like her mom, Only...She beats the crap outta anybody who so much as looks at Ada wrong." Sticky shrugged. "Where's the bar she works at?" He asked. Wolf looked at him carefully, then told him. "If you hurt her even once...You'll find a lot of mutants and humanswill be very angry at you." He said. "Because here...is where she is safe." he said. "Safe From Mutants like you." He said then whistled, then walked back into the hotel with Jean, Sticky and Brain following behind him. Jean looked back at Logan before closing the doors.

Even as Logan rode out of the slummish part of the city, He felt the eyes of everyOutcast on his back. 'She is safe from mutants like you.' What was that supposed to mean? He didn't like Wolf, but since Ada trusted them he felt he had too as well. He stopped outside the bar, Then Went in, But already Ada was hugging Kurt. The Bar itself was entirely empty save for three coming down the stairs. Logan smiled despite his slight feeling of jealousy, "Need help?" He asked. "It vould be appreciated." Kurt gasped. "Hey Ada." Logan said. "Logan!" Ada cried, transferring herself from Kurt to Logan. Kurt sighed in relief as Logan suffered from Ada's death grip around his neck, But he smiled regardless. "I'm glad to see you to." He said. "Ada! Let go of the man before you kill 'im." Dutch called, wiping off the counter. Ada obediantly let go as Logan told her why they were here. "You guys are looking for me? Aww..." She said, beaming. "I'm sorry I ran off...I got scared." She apologized, looking down. "Sometimes she fights, sometimes she runs...It's always a coin toss with her." Dutch grinned. Naomi and Stephanie were sitting there at the bar, eating their lunch, but thier shoulders were shaking slightly with laughter. Toad came down the stairs, Jess following behind. Upon seeing him, Logan's claws slid out with a snikt as the twoglared at each other, Kurt joining in when he found his breath. "My odds ain't good, but i've 'ad worse." Toad said. "Funny, me too." Logan said, glaring at him. "HEY!" Dutch yelled. The three looked at her in surprise, "I Ain't gonna have my Damn bar destroyed by three fucking Mutants with Anger problems, Damnit!" She Yelled. Ada stepped in between them, "I sort of agree with her, but without all the profanity. Dutch asked Jess and Stephanie to find Toad so I could talk to him, so he's cool." Ada said, looking at Kurt and Logan. "Ada, He's with Magneto! He kidnapped you!" Logan said, looking at her in disbelief. "He Apologized." She said simply.

Logan tried to say something, but he was too dumfounded. Even Kurt and Toad himself couldn't think of anything to say. "He apologized to me when he came to my job, so I forgave him. I don't think he really wanted to do it." she said, turning and smiling at him. Toad nodded, his mouth still hanging open slightly. Dutch rolled her eyes and shut his mouth, "Yes...Her logic is Baffling, isn't it?" she asked sarcasticly. That snapped them out of it as Logan sighed, "Fine...But your coming back with us." he said. "Okay." she shrugged, not putting up much of a fight. Toad brushed pass them, heading outside as Logan glared after him and retracted his claws. "But...What about that guy?" she asked, looking at Logan. "Scott won't hurt you...He was just angry, that's all." He said, patting her head. "So he's the one she was talking about." Ada said, finally putting two and two together. "Who?" Kurt asked, looking at her. "Jean." Ada said. "It was Jean...Grey, I think." She said, nodding. Logan's jaw clenched, "Ada...Jean Grey is dead." He said. "I know...She pointed her old room out to me, anyway." she said, shrugging. "Can We go home, now?" She asked suddenly. Logan couldn't help but smile, "Okay...let's go home." He said, ruffling her hair. "Hey!" A voice called after Kurt and Ada had already gone outside. Wolverine turned and looked at the four women, "What?" He said. "You take care of her..." Dutch said. "Or else." Jess, Stephanie, and Naomi finished. Logan smirked, "Don't worry...she's Safe with us." He said and walked out. "Come on, Logan!" Ada called. "Alright, alright! Don't get your panties in a bunch." He said. "Hey!" She Cried. Kurt stifled his laughter, unsuccesfully trying to make it sound like a cough.


After Scott and Ororo got back from Visiting the church, They found Ada talking animatedly with Logan and Kurt. She laughed at something Logan said, but fell deathly silent when Scott walked up to them. "Umm...Ada...I'm sorry." he said, looking down. She looked at him, then hugged him, "It's okay...You had every right to." she said, pulling away and looking at him. He looked at her, then nodded, Still feeling bad. "She says 'hi' by the way." she whispered in his ear, then Answered Storm's call. He stared after Ada, His skin paling as he realized who she was talking about. "Xavier wants to see you." Storm said, then led Ada to his office. Scott looked after Ada, still shocked about what she said. "Scott?" He snapped out of it to see Kurt looking at him. "Are you alright?" He asked. Scott nodded, "Yeah...fine." he said, then walked passed him. Kurt looked confused for a moment, then Bamf-ed off somewhere.

"You mean I actually have to learn more history and math?" she said, sighing. "Yes...Your quite intelligent in everything else, we thought your math could use a little assitance." Xavier said, his fingers steepled in front of him. "Oh...But What about History?" she asked, tilting her head. "It needs much more." he said. "I can't help it if I view history as a mangled mass of Fiction and fact. They're stupid enough to change a little history to make themselves look good." she said, glowering. Logan snorted, but disguised it as a cough as the Storm, Xavier, and Ada looked at him. Ada smiled a bit, but hid it as she looked out the window. "You'll take P.E., As well. Seeing as though you're in shape..." He Trailed off when She went transparent. "Ada?" He said. "Hm? What?" She reappeared again. "You weren't even listening, were you?" Xavier asked, a slight smile on his face. "No...I was thinking about something." she admitted. "Sorry." she said. "It's alright...I understand." he said. "Yeah...My Mind's kinda open right now, huh?" she asked. "Yes, It is." He said. She righted herself so she sat facing him, "Um...I just have a question. When will I learn the rest of my Abilities? I know I have more than just my wings and nails and fire." she said, twirling her hair around her finger. "That is a good Idea...You can go into the Danger Room with Wolverine or Storm if you would like." Xavier said. "That sounds like fun! Let's Go, Wolvy!" She said, Taking his hand and practicly dragging the annoyed Logan out of the room. The other two grinned asXavier said,"Storm, Could you please bring Kurt to me?". Heturned to the window as she left. "Sooner or later Ada will have to know she not alone." He said softly, sighing.

"Wahh!" Ada Cried when a large robot appeared in front of her. She leapt back as she turned and ran, but she soon was surrounded. Her breathing soon became rapid and irregular as they closed in on her. Her eyes were wide, then they narrowed as Ada's instincts took over. She growled as her nails lengthened dangerously and she leaped up, slicing through them like they were paper. She worked herself into a frenzied sort of dance, slashing away at anything that threatened her. She slipped on a piece of metal and fell on her backside, snapping her out of her frenzy. She blinked for a moment, then laughed at herself as the hologram disappeared and Logan came in. "Jeez Kid, you okay?" He asked, helping her up. "Yeah...hee hee...That was kinda fun." She said, smiling. Logan sighed, shaking his head, "You're a very confusing individual, you know that?" he said. She nodded, "Yep." she said. "Let's do that again...Only harder." she said, grinning as her nails grew out again. He grinned and nodded as he went back out. The Room became an endless plane as twenty robots appeared. They attacked as sliced away at them, ducking and dodging and slashing away. She grabbed the head of one the robots with her legs and another by the shoulders as she flipped and slammed them into the ground. One slashed at her back but she caught it in her nails behind her. "Nice try." she grinned, then whipped around and cut through it.

Thousands more appeared as she smirked and flung her hands out, the nails breaking off and flying through the robots. She bent back and flipped to avoid the deadly flying 'blades', jumping and ducking to dodge them as she finally closed her eyes. Logan watched her, stunned, as she dodged her nails so cleanly. His jaw dropped when he saw her bend backward like that, and he continued to watch her like that until she destroyed the very last one and held out her hands as the nails shot back to her, But one had snapped back and cut her arm. "Owie..." He heard her say, frowning. She looked at her clothes and saw cuts in them, "What! I can't believe I got my-Oh forget it." She sighed. The skin rippled and grew back over her arm as she smiled, "Just like new." She said, then looked up at him. "Hey! How'd I do!" She called. He snapped out of it and pressed the intercom button, "You did great, kid. Come on up." he said. "Okay!" She said, then disappeared and reappeared behind him. "Well, that was fast." He said. "I'm learning quickly." she said. "Here...See this." he said, then pressed a button as the two watched her entire training session. "Woah...I was cool!" She said. "What about you? What'd you do for stuff like this?" She asked, looking at him. "Yeah...But I don't think you wanna see it." He said. "Ah fooey. Come on!" She said, bumping him to the side as she pressed a few buttons and pulled up his Training sessions. She watched with interest as she went through every one, her eyes wide.

When the last one finished, she stayed there for a few minutes, then looked at him. "You're really good." She said. "Really really good." she said, Smiling. "Just short of an animal." he said, looking down. "That's not true...You're tactful and you sometimes think things through." she said, her arms around his neck as she hugged him. He awkwardly put his arms around her waist, Then more naturally hugged her as he felt her relax. She pulled away enough to look at him, her eyes scanning his as they looked at each other. Their faces got closer and closer, but a sound jolted them back into reality and they stepped away from each other. Ada turned and started watching her session, pretending to be engrossed in it. Logan turned and saw Storm, "Almost done?" She asked, walking in. "Yeah...She's just reviewing." He said, gesturing. Ada turned around, smiling, "Yeah...I'm pretty good at the whole fighting thing." she said. Ororo smiled, "Well, I bet all that fighting actually built up an appetite." she said. Ada was about to say something but her stomach said it for her, Making her blush. "I'll take that as a yes." She said, laughing slightly. Ada nodded and got up following after her as Logan followed behind Ada, his eyes straying down her back to her rear end. They sat down at lunch, Ada eating politely but ravenously. After finishing, she helped with the dishes and checked her watch and did a bit of mental math. "I need to get to Dutch's place...I'll see you guys later." she said, then ran off as a Car Drove up. "I was wondering if you would ever show." Wolf said, his arm hanging out the window. "Sorry...I forgot." she said, getting in the car. He drove her to see Dutch, then followed her directions to a cage fight. "Just keep yourself focused." he said, taking her coat and handing her the bottle of Absynthe. "Okay...I will." she said, then took a few gulps of the acid green liquid and handing it back.

Wolf sat outside the cage by the door, knowing in case something happened, Ada would want to get out of there fast. Her eyes tinted bright green as she easily beat the next three fighters, knocking them all out before causing too much harm from them. "Your done, Ace. Come on." Wolf said. Ada looked at him, then nodded and told them she was done. "No...You got one more fighter, then your done." he said. "Screw you. Now give me my money or I'm gonna take you out instead." She said, clenching her fist. "One more fighter." he insisted. Ada looked at Wolf and he nodded as she sighed and said, "Fine." "Bring him in." He said. Out came a giant of a man, More fat than muscle. "I'm gonna rough you up, sweetheart." he said, guffawing. She rolled her eyes, "Shut up, you disgustingly fat asshole." she said, then flipped off his massive gut and kicked his jaw. She took one solid punch to the head, making her fly into the side of the cage. She shook her head, then jumped up and grabbed his neck, then whipped around to his back as she rapidly kicked his spine. She grunted as she pulled all her strength into flipping him onto the ground. He lay facedown as she pinned him and won. "I guess It was I who roughed you up." she said, taking the money and walking out of the cage, then the bar. Wolf walked beside her, "That seemed almost too easy." He said. "Who cares?" Ada said, counting out the cash in the car. She gave it all to him, "For you guys." she said as he stopped a few miles from the school. "Just be careful." He said. "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Don't get your knickers in a twist." She said, getting out and shutting the door as she walked into the forest and disappeared.

As soon as the moonlight hit her skin she became visible again, standing in the school courtyard. She raised her face to the moon as she closed her eyes, smiling as she sang a song that she had always loved:

Angel of Music

Guide and Guardian

grant me to your glory

Angel of Music

Hide no longer

Secret and strange angel

She continued to sing, unaware that two people were watching her there. Kurt sat in his window, watching and listening Ada sing in the courtyard. He remembered the song from Phantom of the Opera, but she sang it better than the one who did. He sighed contentedly, his eyes half open as she went into a different song. Logan leaned against the doorframe, listening quietly to Ada's singing. She soon stopped and sat down, her tiredness finally catching up to her. Kurt slipped back into his room and shut the window as he went to bed, her voice still echoing in his head as he finally fell asleep. Logan stepped out of the doorframe, "Nice tune." he said. Ada looked up, startled, "Did I wake you? I'm sorry." she said, getting up. "No, It's okay. I couldn't sleep anyway." he said, walking up to her. She blushed, "You really like it?" she asked. He nodded, "Yeah." he said. "Thanks." she said, looking up at him. There was a slight silence as she blushed, "Um...Would you...Like for me to sing for you again?" she asked sheepishly('Quiet'. Grr...). He nodded, not taking his eyes off of hers. She sang him a few lines from The Phantom of the Opera's 'Think of Me', Having seen the movie hundreds of times at the church. She finished, but felt weak as her knees gave out and she fell forward. She held onto Logan as he caught her, "Guess you need to get to bed, huh?" he asked, smirking. "Um...Yeah, I guess I do." she said, blushing. "Logan, I..." She looked in his eyes and fell silent, looking up at him as she found her footing and stood up more naturally. He pulled her close and kissed her, Ada closing her eyes as her arms tightened around his neck.

He pulled her closer and wrapped his arms tighter around her. He slipped his tongue into her mouth as she opened hers to welcome it. She held him closer as thier deepened, becoming more passionate. A sharp pain to her head snapped her out of it as she pulled away, grabbing her head as she hit her knees. She grit her teeth as she panted, biting her lip to keep from screaming in pain. "Ada! Ada!" She heard someone yelling her name, but it faded into the blackness that came to claim her.
