Hey guys, i'm back with another chap but first of all, thank you sooooo much for all the lovely favorites, follows and reviews, my wonderful readers. I'm so glad people are loving this one so much :-}
Darth NebulaTygaTrooper and a lovely Guest, here's your funny and fluffy update, peeps ;-}
X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X
"May I come in, professor?"
"Ah Jade, please come in." Xavier let one of his most beloved students in with a warm smile. "I was just waiting for you. Please have a seat."
"Thank you, sir." Smiling back, Jade sat down. "So, Jean said you wanted to meet me."
"Yes I did." Charles intertwined his fingers on the table. "And you'll be surprised to know that it's about our future could-be X-Member, Logan."
"Logan?" Jade's eyebrows came close together. "What is it about him?"
"He's ready to work with us but in return he wants something he's lost a long time ago. His memories. He wants our telepathic help so he could remember who he is."
"Well that's a totally great news, professor." Jade gave a wide smile. "What're you and Jean waiting for then? You guys should totally go at it and-"
"He doesn't want our help, Jade." Charles tried to explain Logan's weird demand in the simplest words. "He wants your help in that."
"M-Mine?" Jade slightly panicked. "B-But why me? I mean, you guys know what happened last time, right?"
Xavier sighed and scratched his temple. "Honestly, I wouldn't encourage you to do anything like that if I hadn't seen the faith he had in you in his eyes. I don't when or how you earned that trust but as far as I've understood the feral kind, it never trusts anyone that easily and if he does you, I think you should at least make an attempt."
Jade lowered her head and whispered softly. "But I'm not as good as you and Jean are at this."
"That's not true at all, my dear." Xavier tried to encourage her again. "Being an empath doesn't weaken your class five telepathy, it actually makes your mutation much stronger than ours. All you need to do is find your inner strength to bear all those emotions."
Jade's silence revealed her nervousness. "But if you're still not ready for it, that's okay, I'll tell Logan that you're not-"
"I'm ready." Jade raised her head with a confident tone. "If Logan believes that I can do it, I'll give it a try."
X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X
"Can't believe I actually said yes."
That was Logan's first growl as his old truck halted before Xavier's school again. The glowing windows revealed that the entire population of kiddiewinks and teachers'd gone to their beds. He looked down at his watch. 9:30. He knew it was no time to reach a school and sign up for a job but like always,
He doesn't give a shit.
He woke up the snoring watchman and told him to open the damned gates. He lazily stepped toward the old fort, checking out the surroundings. His ever-stiff face softened as his eyes fell onto a surprising face, the Asian beauty he gave this stupid job a chance because of. She was sitting under a tree with a book in her lap but what the hell?! To his biggest surprise, she wasn't alone, there was a trio of some kind of 'shinning balls' floating around her, giving her bright light to read.
He hastily reached her. "What the hell are those things?"
Jade slowly looked up and smiled. "My shining babies. They're my second mutation, Photokinesis."
"Photo-what?"
"Photokinesis, the art of manipulating light. I use it to generate explosive energy blasts."
"Oh yeah?" Logan had a teasing tone. "Do yer 'babies' do anything else apart from brightenin' yer nights?"
Jade jumped to her feet and crossed her arms with a puzzling smile. "Yes, they do."
And before Logan could understand the meaning hidden behind her words, one of Jade's glowing balls exploded before Logan's eyes, blinding him momentarily, while the other two fried the couple of pointed horns on his head.
"From blinding to roasting," Jade had a smug smirk. "They do everything."
X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X
Logan's hand hastily reached up to examine his ruined hairstyle but thank goodness, his healing factor had already taken care of it.
"Don't ever do that again!" Logan gave a soft warning.
Jade raised her palms in mock surrender. "It was just a demonstration, Mr. Logan."
The mischievousness in her eyes made Logan smirk. "By the way I'm impressed. Not everyone has a second mutation that is so strong. Wanna see my second mutation besides my healing factor?"
The wriggle of eyebrows excited Jade. "Yeah, sure."
With a very smug smile of his own, Logan snikted out his claws and brought them up to show off.
"Dag!" slack-jawed, Jade hastily approached Logan and ran her eyes all over the shining trio of Adamantium blades. "T-They're...they're so...beautiful!"
"Beautiful, huh?" Logan pulled back in the blades with a light scoff. "They're fuckin' knives, doll! There's nothing beautiful about 'em."
"Yes, there is." Jade said stubbornly. "Because they're a part of your body and as far as I believe, every part of our body is beautiful so sorry, but you can't change my opinion about your knives, Mr. Logan."
Her little determination made Logan smirk again. "Yer really a stubborn little thing, ain't ya?"
Jade smirked back. "Welcome to Xavier's School."
Logan chuckled. "So, ya were waiting here ta welcome me?"
Jade rolled her eyes. "Oh please, I was just studying for my upcoming exams. After all, I have a totally huge responsibility to make both of us sisters pass."
Logan chuckled again. "But at least show me my room."
Jade smirked back. "Yeah, sure."
X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X
"So this is your room, Mr. Logan," Jade twirled around with her fingers resting in the pocket of her jeans. "Beautiful, spacious and in the furthest corner of the school with an attached bathroom."
"Not bad," Logan's eyes appreciatively roamed the square before freezing on Jade's smiling face.
"So, you need anything else?"
Wolverine purrs.
Oh Yeah! Ya, under us, every night!
Oh just shut the hell up, horndog!
Logan quickly pushed the horny critter into a dark corner and cleared his throat. "Uh-thanks fer everything, ki-I mean, Jade."
Jade smiled again. "Don't mention it, Mr. Logan."
"Mr. Logan," Logan rolled his eyes. "the damn title makes me feel like a goddamn geezer."
Jade chuckled. "Sorry but we aren't allowed to call our teachers by their names without showing some respect."
Logan shrugged. "I don't know about other kids, but I want you to call me just Logan when we're alone, okay?"
"But-"
"OKAY?!" Ooh, Mr. Logan is being strict!
Jade gave a defeated smirk. "Okay, Mr.-i mean, Logan."
Logan smiled before abruptly turning serious. "So, you're ready ta help me...about my memories?"
Jade nodded softly. "Professor told me about your memory loss and I'd be really glad if I could help you recover 'em."
"Thanks fer that."
""Like I said earlier, don't mention it."
After another awkwardly formal exchange of' Thanks' and 'Don't mention it', they both fell silent for a long minute.
"So," Logan finally broke the silence with a soft smile. "Would you like to stay for a while and...tell me some important stuff about...other teachers and students?"
That was clearly a lame excuse. Logan didn't give a shit about other students and teachers. He just wanted to spend some time with the girl who made his heart skip a beat whenever he saw her.
Jade nervously rubbed her right temple for a long moment before giving a pursed nod. "Okay."
Smiling genuinely, Logan sat on the edge the bed and tapped the space next to him. "C'mon, let's have some chit-chat."
X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X
"Morning, Jadie."
Ororo and Jean greeted the other girl in unison with their respective yawns as they walked down the stairs to nosh some good breakfast.
"Morning to you too, dudettes." Jade smirked in the next warm gulp of her coffee. "C'mon grab the seats before the teachs arrive, today's special is Cinnamon Rolls."
"Cool, I'm totally in." Ororo hastily grabbed the seat next to Jade on the long Mahogany table. Thanks to their selection in the X-Men, they were now allowed to eat in the breakfast nook where only teachers ate instead of cafeteria.
"Everything smells delicious." Jean also joined them.
"Morning, homegirls." Jubilee's lazy yawn touched their ears.
"Gosh, Jubes!" Jade caught her chest as her eyes found her sister's face still covered in that hideous smear. "At least get rid of that blood-curdling Neem face pack, first."
"Yeah, you're totally looking like the queen of those ugly gremlins we saw in the theatre last year." Ororo's witty comment made everyone chuckle.
"Kiss my grits, Mohawk." Jubilee slothfully sauntered in with a soft roll of eyes. "It'll be gone as soon as I get my warm shower but first," she walked to the fridge and took out a fresh lemon.
"I need a glass of lemon and hone—fweet-fweeeeet!"
Jubilee's loud whistle caused everyone to turn their heads around to greet an eye-widening sight.
It was a shirtless Logan who just carelessly entered the room.
"Mornin', girls." Logan tossed a sexy side-smirk to the teenaged beauties before sauntering over to the fridge. Not giving a shit about what the quartet would say about this, he lazily took a chilled bottle of Molson's out.
He looked back to the flabbergasted chicks and flashed another sexy smirk. "What? I haven't gotten my personal fridge, yet."
And with that, he was gone.
A still dumbstruck Jade looked back to her friends. "That was a beer, right?"
Jubilee nodded slowly. "No shit, Sherlock."
"Shit, I should've read the damn label and thrown it out!" Jade almost hissed. "I mean, it's a frickin' school, right?"
It was Ororo who whistled this time. "But I definitely loved this kinda start of Mr. Logan's first day at Xavier's School."
"Me, too." Jean said with a deep blush.
For some strange reason, Jade didn't like the looks Ororo and Jean had on their faces after seeing a bare-chested Logan.
She looked back to the door and spoke through a tightened jaw. "Hope it's just a one day thing."
