A Tale of Two Animals Chapter 2
Aburameclanhead: I see I have some readers but no reviews. Please send some so that I can fix any problems. Don't worry this chapter will be much longer than the last.
X-23: It'd better be. I'm tired of waiting to be introduced.
Aburameclanhead: Ease up, you'll get your chance. I don't want to rush this, we need character development.
Logan: Remember kid, don't get Laura into any sex scenes. If someone even gets to second base with her, I'll kick your ass.
Aburameclanhead: Oh, big man. Without your powers I'd beat you dowww ow ow ow. OK I GIVE!
Laura: Let's get this over with.

"Who the hell are YOU?!!" the confused mutant pointed at the three people in front of him. "Listen kid, calm down and tell us who you are and why you're here." Logan said trying to be as un-threatening as possible. "Tell me who you are first." the boy demanded.
Logan looked ready to beat some sense in to him when he heard the Professor's voice in his head " Relax Logan. Let's just tell him our names. It may calm him down." Logan sighed. "My names Logan. This is Ororo Monroe and Professor Xavier."
The boy glared at Logan, sizing him up. Finally, he responded. "I'm Shawn Linchman." he said warily. "Well welcome to Charles Xavier's Institute for the gifted." said the Professor, glad that was out of the way. Shawn's eyes widened "What do you mean, 'gifted'." The Professor smiled, "Mutants, like your-self. We protect them and give them a safe environment to master their powers and we'd be glad if you would stay for awhile if you have nowhere else to go." A gleam of hope shone in Shawn for less than a second. "What's the catch? Nobody helps anybody for free."
Professor Xavier grimaced when he heard such distrust, 'He really is like Logan.' he thought. "No catch, if mutants are educated in using their powers then they'll be less likely to misuse them. That is our reward." Shawn tried to subtly smell if the old guy was lying. He couldn't sense anything indicating a lie. He looked away and said "I guess I could stay for a few days and see how things work out." "Very well, Logan will show you to an empty room to stay in until we can prepare one for you." Xavier grinned, 'Perhaps Logan can help this boy."
"Come on kid, lets hurry so we can get back to sleep." Logan yawned. The boy put on his clothes and followed the X-man outside. The others were outside waiting for answers. "Vhat do you think is going Scott?" asked Kurt. "Don't know. The Professor will probably explain in the morning." Scott answered while heading back to his room, but before he could leave the door opened and Logan walked out with what looked a younger, scruffier (if that's possible) version of himself.
Kitty leaned over to whisper something to Rogue, who had a dumbfounded look on her face. "Like, who's the mini Logan?" she asked. " Don know." said Rogue. As he walked by, the mystery boy glared at them. "Whoa, I think he heard you." said a slightly startled Rogue. As he walked past Scott, Gene, Kurt, Even, and the other, non x-men, he looked at them almost as if he was studying them. 'So, they're mutants too? Here I thought I was the only one with powers. This could be… interesting.'
Laura was just now coming down to check on the noise. She had been confident that the others could handle it and was hoping to try sleeping in for once. However she got worried when no-one came back to their rooms. She was almost at the med-room when she smelled an unfamiliar scent. Laura could hear footsteps around the corner, she backed against the wall. She could smell two people, Logan and one intruder, though the two were hard to tell apart. Her temper got the better of her and she flew around the corner, claws at the ready and tackled the stranger.
She pinned him to the ground but he flipped her over and rolled on top of her. Her arms were pinned to the ground, so were her legs and he wasn't stupid enough to get close enough to bite. " WHO ARE YOU?!!!" she growled. "Calm down Laura, he's a friend." Logan said to a still fuming Laura. "I expect an explanation later Logan, AND GET OFF ME!!!" she screamed at Shawn. Shawn looked at Logan to make sure that was a good idea. "It's alright kid, she won't bite, hard." Logan smiled at his own joke that Shawn just narrowed his eyes at, but he slowly got up.
Laura stood and quickly walked away, her face heating up. 'I can't believe he was able to pin me, and why does my face feel so hot?' "Who was that?" Shawn asked, confused about what happened. "That was Laura my uh daughter." Logan came close to saying clone. He couldn't expect the kid to take to many surprises in one night. "Strange, you don't look the family type." Shawn stated. Logan just shrugged and took him to his temporary room, not saying anything the whole way.
