Chapter Two

I drove the van towards the school and looked at my lovely wife who was sitting next to me. I would normally be smoking a cigar right about now but I could tell she was breeding. I could smell the strong aura and decided to make a detour to a drug store not too far from the school. Hell the others could wait a few extra minutes to see us...besides why couldn't I run in and buy one for Kat to take while we were having dinner. I could smell her sweet flowery scent and I could hear the kids sleeping, which was a good thing since I was in no mood to listen to their constant whining about whether we were there or not. My mind began to wonder to the events that had occurred earlier that day and flashed to the events that had created this baby. We had been in our room for hours and I could feel my dick hardening painfully once again against my black jeans. I was beginning to regret wearing them but Kat always loved me in these pants and she had always said they made my ass look hot in them so why not wear them? I pulled into the large parking lot of the drug store and looked at the curious look on my wife's face. I turned towards her and whispered in her ear, "I gotta get somethin' Kat." I opened the door on the driver side and climbed out and shivered in the cold weather nearly forgetting that it was mid December. I quickly grabbed my leather jacket and walked out into the snow towards the drug store.

I shivered slightly as the cold wind blew in my black hair but I knew I wouldn't get a damn cold. I don't need any medical attention so why worry? It is the kids I should worry about gettin' colds...not myself. I pulled up the flaps on my jacket to cover my face slightly and felt a cold shiver. My god it was cold! I reached the door and walked into the store feeling the warm air greet me and for a second there I forgot what I had come in for. I just wanted to stay some place warm but once we got to the school, we could be warm all we wanted. I walked down the long aisles looking at the cheery Christmas decorations and growled slightly. I hate Christmas but not so much now but what really makes me mad about the whole season was the shopping. I mean I really don't have the damn patience to just stand in those long lines and wait for some cashier to ring in everyone else's gifts. I mean I want to get in there and then get out as fast as I can. That is why I let Kat do most of the shopping but I still go out and get something special for her considering she is the love of my life. I wondered what I was going to get her this year...maybe some nice jewelry or somethin'. I walked down the aisle and saw the pregnancy tests making sure to get the best brand I could considering that we want it to work right not that I already didn't know. I smiled as I picked up the box and walked down to the checkout thinking about holding a new baby in my arms...our new baby. I handed the box to the woman at the counter and immediately caught the scent of an old 'friend'. I stiffened and growled looking around for the owner of that scent. Where was that son of a bitch? I got my answer when I was thrown into a display of Christmas chocolates.

I growled and tried to get up but found that difficult considering he had his foot on my back. I could hear him laughing at me and I wanted to tear his throat out. There was no way I was going to let him have all the fun and I move quickly as I found a stray bottle of hair spray and used it on his eyes which gave me enough time to get up. I heard him roar in pure anger and grinned taking out my claws causing the other patrons to scream and gasp. It makes me sooo glad that after all these years, I can still entertain an audience. I rolled my eyes annoyed that they still fear mutants after all the X-Men did for them but as the professor has said more than once 'humans fear what they don't understand.' I missed the old man but he had died bravely when we had to protect the students from Magneto but he would be proud to know that his dream still lives on in all his X-Men...past and present.

I lunged at my old 'friend' and plunged my sharp claws in his chest knocking him down but he retaliated by throwing me into a large steal post. I felt like my whole chest was exploding as my ribs broke and I was sure I had some internal injuries. I didn't even have a chance to heal before I was smashed into a steel stand containing books which went flying everywhere. I groaned and slowly got up as my body finally got a chance to heal but then I felt his hard arm swing across my face. Now I got really mad...Why couldn't this son of a bitch take up a new hobby? My lips curled up into a sneer and I narrowed my eyes. "Why don't you retire Creed. Yur getting a little slow old man."

"I'd say the same ta you runt. Tell me ya still with that red eyed bitch?"

"What's it to ya?" I growled and had no intention of telling this asshole that I was still with Kat. The last thing I needed was for Sabertooth to try and hurt my wife to get to me. "What's the matter Creed...can't find your own women?" I know that it was stupid to taunt the larger man but it was so much damn fun and I was not disappointed when I got a reaction. I could feel his larger hand grab me around the throat and in a second I was flying to the wall hard. The wind got knocked out of me and I was unable to catch my breath by the time I was grabbed again. I was pushed up against the wall hard but this was the perfect angle to get him...and get him good. I grinned and plunged my claws into the man once again and I knew it hurt cause he loosened his grip on my neck but not enough to let me go. I got a nice slice across my chest and belly for my efforts and it hurt like hell and what was worse was that he left his hand in my wounds and I healed around his clawed hand. I yelled in pain when he ripped his hand out of my now fully healed stomach but then the next sound I heard terrified me the most. It was Kat and she had come into see why I was taking so long. 'Oh darlin' bad timing' I thought. "Kat run!" I managed to yell but it was too late...Creed had seen her but she did run and not in the direction of the van wanting to protect the kids from Sabertooth. I was dragged behind Creed by the collar in the snow as he quickly follow my wife up the snowy hill as she tried to get away from him but I understood her motives. She wanted to get him away from me and the kids...I could usually tell what she was thinking.

I watched helplessly as she quickly tried to run through the snow but I knew she would not be quick enough and my thoughts were correct when she screamed. He had her! I tried to break free but I was knocked out before I was released and only saw darkness as I went into unconsciousness. The last sounds I heard before I went out were the tortured screams of my wife and Creed's wicked laughs. I was going to kill Sabertooth for this if it was the last thing I ever did.

I woke up moaning and with a splitting headache and immediately looked around for my wife. I felt so tired and sore but I was not going to let a little bit of pain stop me as I slowly stumbled up the snowy hill to find her lying in a puddle of blood. I felt my heart jump in my throat as I looked at the gruesome scene ahead of me with Kat lying there and her blood staining the pure white snow. I sniffed around looking for Sabertooth and found him not too far away with burn marks on his unconscious body. Well...well..It looks like my darling angel got in some nice hits before that bastard knocked her down. I resisted the urge to send the asshole straight to hell but my main concern was the well being of my wife...not revenge no matter how much I wanted to slash him to pieces.

I quickly ran to Kat and felt for a pulse and was relieved to find one. At least my darling was still alive but she was unconscious and was still bleeding. I immediately took off my jacket and wrapped it around her and started down the hill as fast as I could despite the fact that I was freezing my ass off from the chill wind that blew in the air. I walked close past Creed and made sure to give him a nice hard kick in the side for what he did to my wife and was satisfied for now with my actions. I ran to the van and quickly but gently placed her in the passenger seat making sure to buckle her up and jumped into the drivers seat. I drove off to the mansion as fast as I could and frowned...I never did get that damn test.

The X-Men Mansion:

I arrived at the mansion in top speed in fact I was pretty sure I broke some traffic laws getting here but I needed to be sure that Kat was in the lab as soon as possible. I parked the van in front of the mansion and then quickly grabbed my wife into my arms carefully. I used as much energy as I could and quickly brought her into the house causing some of the occupants in the main hall to look at me and gasp. I looked around the best I could sniffing for Jean as Kat's blood flowed onto the wooden floor. "Jean!" I was yelling and I knew everyone could hear me as I urgently screamed for Dr. Grey's help. I was relieved when I saw Jean finally run in followed by Foxlind as they helped me bring Kat down to the medical lab. As the elevator went down to the lower levels, I took in the appearances of both other women and smiled. They were both youthful and beautiful. Jean had her long red hair in a bun and wore a red skirt outfit. Fox was the opposite to her mother considering her appearance as she was wearing a red sweater with a Christmas tree on it and tight blue jeans. Fox had her long red hair in a long braid that swung down past her tight ass...I smiled remembering when Fox and I created our son Jeremy but that was before I met Kat. My thoughts were brought back to the present when we heard the ding as the elevator doors opened and I walked into the quiet, white hallways. Ahhhh home once again...I smiled slightly at the memories about when I first walked down these halls before I became an X-Man.

I never thought I would be so glad to see the lab again as the doors opened and I carefully placed Kat onto the medical bed and began to take off my wife's clothes. I saw Fox nod to me and left the lab leaving me alone with Jean to care for Kat. I sighed and figured I should talk to her just to catch up. Jean still smelt wonderful and I watched her use her telekinetic gifts to lift up some bandages from the steel cabinet to her outstretched hand. "Your gettin' better Jeannie." I said trying to start up a conversation with my former team mate.

Jean smiled and looked at me ass she began to clean Kat's body up getting rid of as much blood as she could. "Yes I suppose so Logan. So what have you been up to these past five years?"

"I am working in construction right now and Kat is a kindergarten teacher." I stated as I watched closely as Jean wrapped up Kat's upper body.

"Oh and this is working well for you Logan?"

"Yeah it is okay I guess...say Jeannie do you have any pregnancy tests around here?"

Jean looked up from her wrapping for a second and looked at me before smiling as she opened the cabinet with her mind sending a test into my hands. "Don't tell me that you are still at it." She said amused with a twinkle in her green eyes.

"Yeah. That is kind of why we stopped at the drug store on our way here."

"Logan what happened?"

"Sabertooth grabbed me and started to throw me around like a fuckin' rag doll. He threw me into some many damn stands that I think he broke every display they had in the place. Anyway Kat ran into ta see what was takin' me so damn long and the son of a bitch attacked her."

"I was afraid he would come after you Wolverine."

"Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time darlin'. I thought the bastard was locked up in a high level security prison though."

Jean nods and checks on Kat making sure she will be okay then looks at me with a look of sadness in her eyes. "He was but he escape a few days ago."

"How the hell did he manage that?" I growled feeling the desperate need for a cigar and a couple of beers to relax me.

"Not sure but Alexis thinks he had some help."

I wondered who would be foolish enough to help the asshole and for what reason. I mean everyone of his main allies were dead and I don't think his kids would want anything to do with him but maybe I was wrong. I followed Jean upstairs and down the main hall to the headmaster's office and looked at my good friend. I took a deep breath and opened the door and saw the new headmaster and mistress making out on the desk. I actually started to laugh watching Alexis and Fox playing tonsil hockey on the well polish furniture. So they still were hot for each other huh? I laughed out loud watching them but they never noticed until I clapped as Alexis managed to relieve his wife of her shirt. I clapped enthusiastically at that which sent a startled Foxlind McKinnae falling to the polished floor and Alexis gave me a guilty look. I was extremely amused and also wondered what they were teaching their students. "Bravo! Nice performance!" I shouted as Fox moved to get up only wearing her jeans and a silver bra that showed her cleavage quite well. I actually smirked when she grabbed her white shirt from her husband. "What have you two been teaching these kids?"

Alexis shifted in his chair uncomfortably and I could tell he was hard and actually felt a great swell of pity for him. Hmm maybe Fox would help him with that later. I chuckled and lit up a cigar and took a deep puff as I leaned against the wall looking at the couple. "So don't let me stop ya folks." My smile got wider looking at Alexis' obvious embarrassment but I doubted Fox was too embarrassed since I have already seen her topless and much more.

"Um hi Wolverine...we um didn't expect you to arrive this early." Alexis stammered and looked a bit red as he sat behind his desk watching his wife slip on her shirt and then her sweater.

"Yeah obviously." I said still laughing at their predicament. I mean the new headmaster and headmistress found in his office about to have a very private moment and to have people walk in on them. I could understand that but at least they were dressed...when Kat and I got caught I was buck naked pounding in her and that was not embarrassing? I took another deep puff of my cigar enjoying the way the smoke made me relax. "So what is this I hear about somebody helping Creed outta jail." I said trying to change the subject and relieve the tension in the room that threatened to choke us all.

"Oh yeah...Well anyway we got a hold of some security tapes that were recorded on the night he escaped and the guards didn't recognize the other person but they say it was defiantly a woman." Fox stated and took the security tapes from Jean and placed one of the tapes into the VCR. I continued to smoke my cigar enjoying the flavor of the cigar as I watched the tapes. I watched wide-eyed as a figure burst into the jail and slashed at the security officers sending them all down with kicks and punches. I was defiantly impressed with this woman's skills and looked forward to a match to see if she was as good as I thought she was. "Can you identify this woman?" I asked wanting to know more about her besides her obvious skills in fighting.

"Yeah sure we can probably find out her identity in the war room. We have a great deal of mutant files in our databases." Alexis said as he stands up and we all walk down the halls until we reach the war room and I felt a sadness for missing all this. I missed the missions, the danger, the adventure, and the closeness we all had as a large mutant family. I watched as Fox gracefully downloaded the picture from the security tapes in the computer and then the only thing left to do was wait for a match. We didn't have too long to wait since the computer found a match quickly but as the name came up, I turned shocked to see Fox's face go deathly pale. I gasped at the name shown as the picture of the woman on the hologram projector.

"Known mutant found. Name: The Golden Tiger...last seen in North Alberta, Canada. Real name: Tigress Cleo Creed." The computer stated all the facts we need to know about the woman from the tape and I just stood there with the others in complete shock. I was not looking forward to facing off with my niece. She was Fox's and Sabertooth's daughter but why would she help her father?

"That is not all the information Logan."

"What?"

"You see when Sabertooth escaped, he managed to grab three security guards with Tigress' help and they have them."

"He'll kill them in a second...What makes you think they are still alive to rescue?" I asked stating the obvious since we all knew that Sabertooth wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone.

"But we have to try." Fox said and I knew she was right...even if it meant that I would be fighting my own niece. I did not look forward to that but I was looking forward to ripping Creed open like a Christmas goose.

Suddenly we all jumped hearing a loud siren as the computer alerted us to a disturbance downtown and our confrontation was going to be sooner than I thought. I followed the others to the uniform change rooms and saw my black red striped uniform hanging in my locker with my code name Wolverine in fancy gold lettering. Alexis smiled and handed me the key to my locker and I took a deep breath as I took the key. Was I really to wear the X-men uniform again?...I wondered this as I moved to my locker and slide the key into the steel lock opening the door with a click. I moved close and touched the black leather like it was an old friend I had not seen in years and in truth it was kind of was good to feel the leather on my skin. I took off my shirt and smiled as Fox took the uniform off the steel dummy and handed it to me. I grinned as I took off my jeans and stood there in the clean sterile room in my underwear and then slipped into my black leather uniform. I then grabbed my black boots and my gloves and then zipped up the uniform. I laced up my boots and slipped on my gloves and turned to face the others. I watched as Jean put on her black purple and gold striped uniform as Fox did the same. It was like old times alright. I grinned as Alexis walked out to the hanger with us in his own uniform. I felt tears of longing as I saw the Blackbird. God I missed all of this and eagerly walked aboard the jet and sat in my seat next to Jean and placed on my mike. I smiled at Jean as Fox started up the jet and we flew to stop Sabertooth and Tigress. I sighed with pure happiness...The Wolverine was back and this time I was stayin'.
