Stirring, she swatted away his arm. Kurt was persistent though. "Fine, fine, I'm up." She sat up and brushed the sleep out of her eyes. It took her a moment to recognize her surroundings. "Oh right…"
"Come on," Kurt said, hopping onto the back of her bed. "It's breakfast time."
Haley slowly got to her feet. "Which way?"
He shook his head. "That takes too long. We're teleporting there." Kurt grabbed her arm and in a second they were standing in the kitchen which smelled of pancakes that Jean had just cooked.
Rubbing her head, she said "I am never going to learn my way around this place if you and Kitty keep doing that to me."
"Sorry," he said filling up his plate. "The food was calling my name."
Getting her own food, Haley asked, "What time is it anyway?"
"Nine."
"Feels earlier."
Then, Logan walked into the kitchen. "Blondie, Elf, just the people I was looking for."
"Is that supposed to be a good thing?"
Kurt's remark was discarded. "You two have training with me today. We have to figure out just what exactly Blondie can do. Meet me outside at twelve."
"Why does that include me?" Kurt whined.
"Because it does," Logan said as he snatched the newspaper off the counter and left.
Haley turned to Kurt, "Blondie?"
"Logan uses nicknames."
"I'm so confused right now. What's going on today?"
"You, me, Logan. At noon. Outside."
"I got that much."
"Then I don't see why you are confused." Haley rolled her eyes. "Hey, if it helps, I can come and get you when it's time."
"I think I'll manage."
"Sounds good," Kurt replied, slightly hurt.
A few minutes later, Evan sleepily strolled into the room. "Hey, new girl," he said as he passed Haley.
"You are up rather early," Kurt said teasingly.
"I couldn't sleep."
"That sucks," Haley mumbled. Evan nodded in reply.
Kurt quickly put away all the food on his plate. Then he muttered shower and teleported away.
"So, Haley," Evan said as soon as they were alone. "Need a tour of this place?"
She bobbed her head, "Yeah, I haven't really been anywhere in this place. How about you meet me in front of my room in like thirty minutes? My room's the one across from the fuzz ball's."
After his shower, Kurt was busy doing homework. There was a knock at the door. "It's open," he said.
Kitty came into his room. "What are you doing?"
"Homework."
"On a Saturday morning?"
"Yes."
"You are weird."
Kurt didn't answer. His attention was now back on his studies. She groaned and snatched away the book he was using.
"Hey!"
"No homework right now!"
"Give it back, Kitty!" He launched himself through the air to tackle her. However, Kitty phased through him and let him hit the ground. She walked away giggling. Then, Kurt teleported and tried to grab the book midair. Once again, Kitty phased, and he fell to the floor.
Flustered, Kurt shouted, "Come on!"
Kitty snickered. "Fine, I will give it back to you on one condition."
"What's that?"
"You 'go to the mall' with me tomorrow."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I want to go meet Lance at the mall tomorrow, but I don't want people getting suspicious. So you are pretending to be going with me."
"And what am I supposed to do that whole time?"
She shrugged, "Study."
He frowned. "Fine, just give me the book back."
She placed it on the bed on her way out. "Oh yeah, I heard that you had Logan today. Good luck." Kitty laughed on her way out.

"And that concludes our tour," Evan said, halting in front of Haley's door.
"I am never going to remember that," she replied, exasperated.
He smiled sympathetically. "I know the feeling."
Kurt passed by them. "Oh, Haley, don't forget about our session."
"Thanks for reminding me. What time is it?"
"Fifteen 'til noon," he said looking at his watch.
Evan laughed. "Looks like you better suit up." She gave him a confused look. "You know…get ready…"
Haley forced a smile. "I guess so. See you two later," she said while closing her door.
She noticed a package on her bed. The note attached to it informed her that she was supposed to wear this whenever they were in the danger room or something. Inside the box was a suit. It was mainly black, but the torso section of it was a navy blue. It came with a pair of gloves that matched the pale yellow belt. Its buckle was a red circle with a black 'x' in the center. She was also given a pair of navy blue boots that went up to her knees.
After changing, Haley went to the front of the mansion just in time. Kurt hopped down from the ledge behind her. "I was starting to think you got lost."
She jumped. "Jeez, Kurt! Don't sneak up on me like that!"
He looked down, disappointed in himself. "I'm sorry about that."
Feeling bad, Haley tried to cheer up the elf. "Sorry, fuzz, I'm just a little jumpy."
"You could say that again," he said with a smile. "You should have seen your reaction. It was hilarious!"
"Glad to know that my fear is amusing to you," she said dryly. He laughed.
Logan quietly snuck up on the two. Then, he put a hand on each of their shoulders, causing both of them to jump and laugh more. "Knock it out, will ya?" he said, irritated. The two immediately calmed down. "That's better."
"So, you probably are wondering what kind of drills I'm going to have you do today," he paused for their heads to nod. Well, we're going to play a little game of Capture the Elf." Kurt groaned. "Tidal Wave, your objective is to immobilize Nightcrawler."
"That's me," Kurt whispered to her.
"Do this by any means possible. Try not to knock him out though. The professor gets mad."
"One of the reasons why I hate this game."
"Quiet elf. Also, bub," he said pointing a threatening finger at Kurt. "Remember, not to fight back. Blondie here probably has no idea on how to defend herself." Logan paused for a moment to give Kurt enough time to nod. "Okay, Kurt, go."
