Lynx
Chapter 3
The whole Gen X team and their teachers surrounded Logan. They were all asking questions about the new kids.
"Hold on, hold on!" "The baby is just fine and Lynx is getting better real fast." "No one has said anything about where the kids are goin'."
"Well Wolfie, Lynx can't be any older than me." "So of course, she will have to come here to go to school." "Like dah!" Jubilee said around a mouthful of bubble gum.
"It's more complicated than that Punkin." Wolverine looked up and around at the whole Gen X team. They were expectantly waiting for what ever he was going to say. The only problem was he didn't know what to say. He still was having problems believing the baby was his.
Emma broke his silence with, "Logan why do you have such personal concern for the children?" She asked.
"Out a my head Frosty!" Logan growled looking very upset.
"I was not in your head Logan." "You are projecting a great deal of agitation over this matter."
"Oh hell with it!" "Beast did DNA tests on the kids." "Lynx is Sabretooth's daughter."
All of Gen X was in an uproar over this comment. Sean and Emma were trying to calm the kids down with very little success.
"Damn it kids shut up for Christ's sake!" Shouted Logan over the din.
Jubilee piped up. "Wolfie who is the baby's parents?"
"Oh kid, I wished you hadn't asked that question." He whispered to her.
"Why?" She asked even more puzzled by him than before.
"The baby in my daughter by Lynx." He stated in a very controlled growl.
"What!" "You're her father?" "Wow!" "That's great!" "She's so lucky."
Then everyone broke loose again. The questions were flying fast and furious. What was the baby's name? What is Lynx's real name? How old is Lynx? Are you going to keep the baby or you going to have Jean and Scott adopt her?
Logan was completely over whelmed. He grabbed Jubilee and headed out the door as fast as he could. Emma tried to stop them to no avail. Half way to the X-mansion Logan slowed the bike and stopped at a gas station.
"Wolfie, are you alright?" Asked Jubilee.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly he said, "No, Kid I'm not." "What in hell am I going to do with those kids?"
"Wolfie I'll help and so will everybody else." "I think you need to talk to Lynx though before you start making any kind of plans." She was very concerned for Wolfie.
"Why should I talk to the girl, before making any plans concerning my daughter?"
"Well dah Wolfie." "You said she was the mother." "Don't you think she would want to help with her?"
"She's just a child herself." "Besides, she was raised by Sinister, God only knows how messed up she is." He said sadly.
"Logan she was guarding the baby when we found her." "Her first concern when you went in the lab and explained who you were was the baby." "She was starving to death and she wanted the baby who was not in any danger helped first." "Second, she didn't try to fight us." "Third, if she was the monster that you're hinting at, she would not have been as starved as we found her." "She would have eaten the lady who was dead there in the lab."
Logan knew that Jubilee was right. He reached out and gave Jubilee a great big hug.
"Hey, what was that for?" She said trying to sound indignant.
"Just 'cause." He said with a broad smile creasing his face.
"Now, you're not going to get all mushy on me because of the baby are you?" She said with her that's gross face on. "Because if you are I am going to be sick on the rug." "And then I will have to knock some sense back into you," she threatened.
"Nope, ya won't." "Get on, we're goin' home."
"But Wolfie all my stuff is back there at the school." "I don't even have my purse with me." She wailed.
Logan turned and looked at her. She was standing there with her arms crossed and a defiant pout on her lips. He thought to himself, I really love ya Darlin. You will always be the daughter of my heart.
"All right quit bitchin, we'll go back and get ya stuff."
"Great." "Oh, Wolfie on the way to Salem Center we need to stop and get a baby naming book."
"Why, Punkin?"
"You know your going to have to name the baby." "Why else would we get the book?" She rolled her eyes sky ward. Sometime she thought that Wolfie could be very dense, but she loved him anyway.
Hank checked the results of his blood work up on Rowan for the second time. Now, he was positive of her approximate age. It appeared that Sinister was using hormonal inhibitors on the girl to slow down or stop her maturation. Her body had just started to produce normal hormones for growth and puberty. It looked like she would hit hyper production mode in less than three days. Hank hoped that it would not last long. But he was unsure. That was all the X-Men needed, a fourteen year old going through a major growth spurt and a major hormonal down load all at once. Life was going to be very uncomfortable for both Logan and he for a while. Hank really hoped it would only affect him and Logan. If it affected everyone all hell was going to break loose.
Hank gathered his notes together to head to Scott's office. He had arranged another meeting with Scott, Jean and Storm over what he had over heard Remy telling Lynx. With notes in hand, he walked up to his two new patients and their visitors.
"Well, how is it going here?" "I see you have already started making new friends." "This is very good Lynx." He stated with a smile.
"Now, if you three lovely Ladies will excuse us, Remy and I have an important meeting to attend." Hank said while placing a very firm hand on Remy's neck.
"Mon ami, Remy no cat so don' go an' try pick him up by de scruff." Remy said in an almost pained voice.
"I am very sorry my precocious friend." "I did not mean to injure you." Hank apologized.
"Dat alright, mon ami." "What dis meeting 'bout?" The Cajun asked.
"I will explain all the pertinent details upon our arrival."
Remy and Hank left the two women staring after them in confusion.
"I wonder what that was all about Suga?" Rogue asked.
"It's about me I think." "I didn't realize that they were going to be so afraid of me and what I might do." Lynx looked about ready to cry.
"Suga, why would they be afraid of you?"
"Because I am Sabretooth's daughter and Sinister had a whole year to try and make a monster out of me." "They don't know what Mom and I went through to keep me from becoming like my Father." She started to cry.
Rogue gently took the baby from Lynx. Megan was beginning to fuss now too because of her Mom.
"Lynx Suga, I think Megan is hungry." "Where is her milk?"
"It's over there in the little refrigerator by that wall," she said as she pointed to it. After Rogue helped feed Megan, Lynx asked her if she would do a very big favor for her and the baby. "Rogue I need you to go to a store like Kmart or Wal-Mart and pick up some things that both Megan and I need."
"Like what Suga?"
"I need some clothes and underwear." "Nothing fancy." "And Megan needs clothes, diapers and bottles too." Lynx proceeded to give her a list.
After giving Rogue her list, she asked for some medicine that Beast had left for her. She took it and went right to sleep.
Rogue looked at the list and decided that it would be an easy trip. She checked the baby one more time and left for the store.
When Logan and Jubilee returned to the school, Emma was there to meet them at the door.
"I should have you charged with kidnapping and child endangerment!" She shouted and stamped one foot. "Who do you think you are to run off with one of my students like that?"
Trying to keep world war three from happening, Jubilee strategically moved between Logan and Frost and began to explain things. "Frosty, I wanted to go with him." "We just went down the road to talk." She held up her hands in a placating manner. "We came back so I could pack up a bag, my purse and tell you that I am going back to the X-Mansion with Wolfie for a while." "They need my help with the girls."
"You are not going anywhere tonight on a motor cycle with Wolverine." "I am going to call Scott and discuss this matter with him before I decide what to do." Emma stated as she glowered at Jubilee.
"She's MY foster daughter Frosty!" "She'll go where I want her to be," Logan growled in anger.
"Sean can you please call Scott now before they kill each other please?" Jubilee said. "I am going back with Wolfie no matter what." "We might as well warn Scott."
Remy and Hank entered Scott's office where Scott, Jean and Storm where already waiting.
"What dis about, mes ami?" Remy asked.
"Gambit what do you know about these children?" Scott demanded from behind the desk.
"About as much as you, Homme," he relied smoothly.
"That does not help Remy please answer the question," Storm said.
"What you want Remy to say, Stormy?"
"How about telling us what you told Lynx in the lab just a few moments ago and what you have been doing since we acquired these children." Hank said helpfully.
"Oh." "De girl she scared an' she asked Gambit fo' help." "Gambit a sucker fo' de Petites." He said showing his most devilish grinned and using his charm.
"Gambit answer the question now!" Demanded Scott as he stood up and walked over to Remy to glower at him.
Shrugging as if it didn't matter he said to Jean, "De girl she be a 'path like you Jean but not like you, non?" "She talk to me on de way to de Blackbird." "She was afraid dat de X-Men not help her when de find out dat she Sabretooth's." "Gambit t'ink dat she be right an' get money an' ID fo' de girl so she can take care o' herself an' de petite." "But de girl she so young Gambit decide to say she 16 an' dat Remy her half brother an' adopt her."
"Why did you do that?" Asked a startled Scott.
"I don' know mon ami." Remy replied with a casual shrug of his shoulders.
Standing there with regal anger flashing from her eyes as only a Goddess or Queen could, Storm said in a very offended voice. "Remy you are lying." "I will not allow you to lie to us." She just could not believe that Remy did not trust them.
Looking at the floor Remy answered Storm, "De girl she t'ink dat I'm her brother." "She say she t'ink dat she knows what happen to mi mama."
"Oh, Remy." Storm's anger was quickly replaced by concern as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Gambit you believe her?" Scott said in amazement.
"Remy my friend please let me do the DNA work up on you." "I know you hate the lab and any tests being done on you but this is not just about you and I must insist." Hank stated as a concerned expression passed over his furry features.
"So, Gambit." Everyone turned to look at Scott. He gathered himself and as leader of the X-Men he tried to continue the interrogation. "You stole money for her and got her a fake ID, what good is that going to do her?" He demanded.
Staring at Scott with narrowed glowing red eyes he said in a soft voice, "She wan' to be able to take care o' herself an' de petite when you t'row her out." "I adopt her so she not be alone, anoder experiment abandoned an' turned loose." He said with growing volume.
"When have we ever abandoned or thrown out any child!" Storm shouted. "I do not know what your problem is right now Remy but I have had it up to here." She said as she cut a line across her throat with her hand. "WHAT is the real reason that you are doing all this?"
With an expression that bordered on dangerous, he said in a low heavily accented voice, "Remy did it to protect de girl." "She told Remy dat Logan would run an' dat when he come back dat he would try to separate de baby from her." "She an' de petite are psi bonded it would kill her to have de baby taken from her." "AN', dey de only family dat Remy have lef'." "I-will-not let anyone hurt her any more!"
Everyone stared at Remy in stunned silence. He really did believe that she was his sister. He also seemed to believe that they would not help the children because Lynx was Sabretooth's daughter.
"Are you Sabretooth's son Remy?" Asked Beast.
'Where the hell is Logan!' Scott mentally yelled to himself.
'I don't know Scott.' 'Please stop shouting at me.' She relied in a soothing mental voice. 'Remy is very concerned for the welfare of these kids.' 'I have never seen him so determined.'
Scott sighed and rubbed his temples under his visor and said, "We are not going to throw out or abandon any of the children." "I don't care who their father is."
"You abandoned Remy once 'cause o' his involvement wit' Sinister." "Dere is always a first time fo' everyt'ing." He said sadly now looking a little bit like a hurt kid himself.
"Remy I…" Storm could not believe what she had just heard.
"This is not going any further until Logan comes home." Jean stated in a calm tone. "I think everyone needs to cool off and think about this." Turning to Remy she added, "Remy please don't do anything else for the girls that involves them leaving here." "We are your family too Remy and we need to work together and not tear each other apart."
Just then Bishop's voice sounded over the intercom, "Scott, Cassidy is on the phone he needs to speak with you about Logan and Jubilee, now sir."
