A/N: So I know it's been a VERY long time. I'm incredibly sorry as I know how annoying it can be when people don't update their stories! But unfortunately school caught up on me...I'll definitely try to be better from now on though! Thanks to all those who waited patiently!
Read, enjoy and review! If it wasn't for those reviews I got for the last chapters I may not have written anymore - so you know what to do!
Chapter 3: Debrief
By LinandraEvergreen
The new recruits fidgeted nervously. Each of them trying to avoid eye contact with the man towering over them. The atmosphere in the room was very tense.
Logan stood at the top of the room, arms folded, glaring around at them. No one spoke, they were still waiting for the last two people to arrive.
Even the older students who had long past the stage where Logan could scare them into submission didn't talk. Of course, this was mainly due to the fact that both Kitty and Kurt were still sulking about their early departure from the danger room.
Evan was sitting on one of the couches, his eyes were shut and he was breathing deeply. Not missing any opportunity to annoy him, Bobby promptly kicked he in the shins. Evan woke from his stupor with a jolt, swearing loudly at Bobby.
Logan emitted a growl, unfolding his arms and taking a step towards the two boys. Fortunately for them, they were saved by the arrival of Scott and Jean. Logan stopped in his tracks 'You took yer time' he growled, turning on them. Neither Scott nor Jean said anything, knowing it was better to keep your mouth shut in these situations.
When he got no answer, Logan turned back to the rooms occupants 'Sit down' he said not looking at either of them. Jean quickly settled in an arm chair at the back of the room while Scott perched on it's arm rest.
"Well i was able to get a good measure of everyone this morning. And I ain't to pleased with what I got. If we'd been in real combat, there'd be no one left sitting in front of me" he looked ominously around the room.
"Pryde!" he barked suddenly, turning his attention to Kitty. "I don't know what the hell you think you're doing, but until there's a considerable improvement, you're off the team" Kitty's face flushed bright red, he temper rising "That's like totally unfair" Beside her, Kurt was trying to stifle his laugh "That goes for you too fuzzy boy" Logan said rounding on Kurt "Vat! You can't do zat!"
A few of the new recruits sank into their chairs as Logan seemed to grow in height "Watch me blue boy. You're a liability to the team and I'm not risking someone's life by having you around"
Beside Jean, Scott sighed. He really wasn't in the mood for this, but he knew as team leader it was about time he said something "Hold on there Logan. I think you're being too harsh. It is only our first day back after all" If looks could kill, Scott was certain he'd be dead. "You think Magneto waits to act until you've settled back into school Summers?"
Jean quickly came to Scott's aid "Logan, we're just saying that you need to cut us some slack. We'll be grand for the next session" Logan now aimed his death stare at Jean. "I'm in charge here, and until I'm satisfied, Pryde, Daniels, Drake and fuzzy boy here are off the team"
Scott sat up a bit "But that just leaves me and Jean! Two people aren't enough"
Jean opened her mouth to agree but Logan cut across her "We'll you'd better get this lot into training then. Hadn't you?"
Please feed my addiction to reviews! I promise there'll be a lot more JOTT and other characters to come once we get into the swing of things!
*Note* I'm not sure if you people use 'grand' the way Jean says it or if it's just an Irish thing!
Go raibh maith agat! (Thank you!)
