Ain't No Rest for the Wicked
"Welcome to combat. Today we'll be making training teams." The sound of Mr. Logan's voice boomed through the Danger room as he addressed the new students "Outside of this room you call me whatever the hell you want, but in here I go by Wolverine."
"Whatever we want?" Angela asked, shifting her weight to her left hip.
Wolverine smirked. "Within reason."
He indicated to two girls in the corner of the room that made him look like a giant, despite his height.
"My name is Laura." A petite girl with jet black hair, strong arms and features strongly resembling that of the man's said. "In here I go by Talon." She had a formal voice, unlike that of a normal teenager's.
"I'm Rahne." Another petite but older girl, with a Scottish accent spoke up. "Call me Wolfsbane." Her hair was chestnut brown, borderline ginger.
"You expect us to get training from these chicks?" A dark skinned boy with afro styled hair asked.
"What do ya call yourself kid?" Logan asked.
"Viral, and no offense ladies, but I'm not hitting a girl. I don't see the point of fighting them when we'll be up against stronger opponents later on."
"Is that right? You don't get the point..." Logan chuckled. "Talon, show Viral here the uh... point."
Laura grinned and jet forward. She had an adamantium claw protruding from her foot and pressed to his neck in a matter of seconds. She leaned forward, bringing the claws in her right hand up to his face. "This," She nodded to her hand, "Is the point. Do you understand?"
"Yes." He shivered."Yes, I get the point."
"Are you sure about that? Wolverine can also show you." As if on cue, Logan popped his own set of claws.
"Ok Talon." Rahne warned. "We're here to teach not to intimidate."
"Hit the showers, kid." Logan grunted to the technopath. "You and I can train together later."
Viral slouched away.
"Try not to be so brutal." Rahne cringed, calling Logan to the side.
Logan sighed, "Respect don't grow on trees."
"Neither do smart kids."
"Ah, come on, Rahne." He said, "He was way outta line."
"So were you." Rahne lowered her voice, wary of the students, who were now running laps as directed by Laura. "I let you lead this class, specifically assigned to me. If you want to continue to lead it, you're gonna have to be a little more mature."
Logan growled, and sauntered off after the boy.
…
"Listen kid." Wolverine sighed, as he took a seat next to the technopath on a hard wooden bench. "I'm gonna cut you a deal. You respect me, and I'll respect you back, but you gotta understand that Laura and Rahne are X-Men, they aint X-Chicks. They've been training longer than you'll believe and they'll always be better than you. Around here gender can mean nothing. It's how hard you work."
"Yeah, I figured that out." He said.
"What's your name, kid?"
"Archie."

It'd be cool if you reviewed every chapter you read, not just the ones your character appears in. I want to know I'm not boring your guys, lol.
