Jason's POV
This house was incredible, I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be invited into their home so easily. Don't ask me how they moved a new bed into the room I was going to share with Kurt, but I wasn't complaining I was lounging around as the others left me alone to get settled. However this day wasn't without it's share of more intense and less than welcoming moments, like when Logan decided to make a few things in the house clear to me now that I live here.
-Earlier in the day-
"Hey Kid come 'ere, I have a few questions for ya." Logan spoke these words slowly and sharply, like he was trying to goad me into something. "I saw the way you were lookin' at the half-pint earlier during breakfast, now I'm not going to condone anyone trying to date her, but I have to admit you seem like a better influence on her than what she has right now, more intelligent too. So do ya like her"
"What are you saying, I don't know what you're talking about I wasn't looking at anybody." I knew I wasn't convincing so I pulled my best defense mechanism, I scowled at him. The look he gave me was one of surprise, I'm not sure why that he looked at me that way, it kind of unnerved me actually. "Well I'll be settling in here so just know I don't like Kitty that way." 'Liar' I thought to myself as soon as that sentence left my lips.
"Whatever you say Kid, but just know her boyfriend Lance can cause earthquakes." I don't know why but this piece of information made me smile. Like he was letting me in on something.
"So, I'm not scared of a little earth moving around."
"You know what I take it back kid, you are definitely a better option and she likes to take long walks, she told me after a date with Lance when I waited up for her to make sure he was being respectful, but if you tell anyone that I gave ya advice you're dead kid." He snarled, bringing a smirk to my face as he turned to leave.
-Present-
I wanted to ask him so many questions, but I let him walk out the door. I know that considering the way things were going earlier when Kitty was the topic of discussion, with tensions high there was an almost animalistic undertone to our conversation, like the young lion fighting the old for dominance, I wasn't sure what that was all about but I can't deny that I felt strong bantering with Logan, like I was the gruff mans equal. However there was so much that I wanted to ask him, like what can he do besides heal, how did he end up here in this mansion. I sat up gathering my thoughts, I would find the right time to talk to Logan yet I couldn't help but wonder what he was like, he seemed so much like me that I needed to know more. He seemed like a really cool guy though through all that gruff exterior, almost a father figure to some of the kids, Kitty especially, maybe he could be to me too not like I remember mine, I really don't remember much of anything except for the basics like: speech, reading, writing, math, etc., but maybe for the best perhaps my life wasn't so great. My meditations didn't last long with a knock at the door, so I yelled for them to come in, a small smile came to me as I saw Kitty enter with Kurt right behind her, both holding ice skates.
"Hey bro, Bobby froze 'ze lake near the mansion, so 've are all going to go skate, are you in?" Kurt sounded so excited it was hard to argue, that and he was also jumping up and down on my bed. I know he just wanted to get me introduced and friendly with everyone, but I was still in the mood to think and be left alone with my thoughts.
"I think I'm just gonna stay here buddy, now get of my bed you crazy elf." Even when I was in this kind of mood the guy can bring a smile to my face, I guess I got a great roommate and friend.
"Jason, please, you can't stay in here and be all broody all day, so come skate with us. Kurt and I even found a pair of skates that should fit you." Kitty, definitely a factor in making me want to get up and leave this room. "It will be so much fun please come with us Jason, pretty please." I definietly couldn't argue now, Kitty was just so different than the others, I think I would jump off a building if this girl asked me to.
"Sure, why not it sounds like real fun." A thumbs up from Kurt and he teleported away, and Kitty grabbed my hand and we phased through the floor to the foyer. Waiting there was Professor Xavier, Storm, and Logan. Logan made sure to give me a smirk that screamed 'I knew you were lieing to me kid', but I just shot him another scowl and Kitty gave him a wave and we were out the door on our way to skate, Kitty's hand still in mine. Needless to say I had a smile on my face.
Logan's POV
"See what I mean Chuck, that scowl look familiar to you?" That boy, needless to say I'm unnerved after our conversation earlier, especially when that scowl makes him look so much like myself. "It's my scowl Professor, he looks just like me if I was a teenager except for those eyes. I don't know about you Chuck but I'm not to sure I wan't another clone of me runnin' around this place, especially after the whole fiasco X-23 caused here." Not that he didn't seem like a good kid to me, only his interest in the half-pint brought him down from great kid to good kid, but still my instincts told me this kid was something possibly dangerous.
"He's no clone Logan, but I do agree that his resemblance to you is striking, I think It's worth looking into." With that Charles and Ororo went to talk to Hank and see if they could track down and records on him from his blood sample, I thought about checking on the kids but I figure they'll be fine so I turned to follow I needed to know more about this kid, if he's no clone why do I feel so connected to this kid already, he's getting to me faster than Kitty did and I took to the half-pint pretty quickly. I figure we'll know more about him soon enough so no need to think to much on it now.
