Aburameclanhead: Sorry for the wait. I don't own x-men evolution. I get distracted easy, but I promise to update more in the future.

Laura reached the Professor's study to find Logan shutting the door. She grabbed the door.

Logan was surprised to see her there. "Laura, why...".

"I came to sit in on Shaun's session." the young girl interrupted.

Logan was going to protest when the Xavier spoke up. "It's alright Logan. She can join us if she wants, that is if it's alright with Shaun of course." he said, looking towards the young man in question.

"Uh, sure I guess it's ok." Shaun said.

Laura couldn't believe her ears. There wasn't a hint of the proud and serious boy she knew. He sounded so small and scared. She walked over to her crush and sat down next to him.

Shaun avoided eye contact. He didn't want her to see him vulnerable, he had his pride after all.

Laura reached out her hand to his, hesitating for a moment when she saw the claws, but grasped his hand firmly.

Shaun looked to his side and saw her, her tan skin and dark brown hair. He caught himself starring and noticed a slight red tint to her face. Shaun had to turn away to hide his blush.

Xavier rolled over to the couch and said "Very well then. If that's everyone then let's get started. He placed his hands on the sides of Shaun's head.

Flashback

There were tubes and wires every where. They could see machines wherever you looked. Everything was blurred, as if they were underwater. Suddenly a pale ghostly figure approached the glass, pressing a white hand with long blue nails. All seeing the image felt cold chills going up their spines.

A loud beeping could be heard and the glass tube slowly emptied leaving the body inside to slump limply onto the icy floor. A painful shock knocked the half conscious body wide awake. The boy looked up seeing a chalk white man with red eyes and a jewel on his forehead. Behind him was a young man around 19, with long, 5 inch claws, and a powerful build.

He was shaking from the cold. He had no idea where he was or even who he was. "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here?" He asked the tall, ghostly man.

"Who are you?" the man repeated with an amused laugh. "You are subject 895KBeta. Though that is a bit of a mouthful. Hmmm, how about Wretch? That seems as good a name as any. As for where you are and why, you are my creation. Once your powers fully mature, you will be able to render mutants helpless and bring their genetic samples back to me."

"Mutants?" the boy asked not understanding what the man meant.

"Higher evolutionaries like us." was his reply. "This will be your partner and predecessor 895KAlpha," The young man with the claws stepped forward with a disapproving snarl. "But you can call him Klaww."

The young man had one more question, "Who are you?"

With an wicked and bone chilling grin he replied, "Sinister"

They had yet another target cornered. A young mutant by the name of Jennifer Chambers, aka Regen.

She had the ability to regenerate even lost limbs. Master Sinister was especially interested in this mutant.

Klaww was toying with her, like every other subject they were sent after. "Heh, all you can do is heal?

Your not even strong enough to fight back." the senior of the team taunted as he reached up her skirt.

The young girl shrieked while Klaww laughed at her inability to protect herself. Suddenly he felt a tight grip on his arm as his hand was pulled away from her lower body. He tuned to see 'Wretch' or Shaun as we know him giving him a level glare.

"Sinister wants her untouched Klaww," he said holding on to his partner's arm with a vice-like grip.

"How would he know? She heals faster than we do, any bruises or scratches will be long gone before..."

Klaww was cut off by Wretch's grip painfully tightening, he was smaller but just as strong.

"I said leave her alone Klaww!" Wretch raised his voice. He had had enough of this life. He completely disagreed with Sinister's entire operation and found Klaww's actions unforgivable.

"What, now you grow a conscience? Your not exactly a saint either." Klaww laughed. "Who do you think you are acting all high and mighty? You could have tried to stop me at any time."

Wretch let out a low growl and told the girl to run, which she did.

When Klaww tried to go after her he wound up being grabbed by the shoulder and punched square in the jaw. There was an audible "pop" and his jaw hung to the side.

He then grabbed it popped it back into place and after a few jaw stretches said, "Now why'd you have to go and do that kid?" before stabbing his claws through his partner's stomach.

Wretch doubled over in pain but quickly recovered and attacked again. They fought for hours and though their wounds healed quickly Wretch's lack of claws and experience put him on the losing side.

Desperate he did the only thing he could and ran. Soon he was out of the city and entering the woods, his former partner hot on his trail. He had been running for what seemed like hours and Klaww only seemed to be gaining on him. He was so worried about Klaww catching him that he didn't notice he was approaching a road. He turned to see his assailant lunge at him. He fell into the road and the last thing he remembered was bright headlights and an eighteen wheeler's horn.
