Standard Disclaimer: I do not own the X men. I only claim any OC used in the story unless other wise stated.
A/N: Sorry for the huge delay in posting another chapter. Unfortunately I lost my notebook that had the original version of this chapter in it. Then there was the whole inspiration for a Power Ranger story that popped in my head and I went with it. But I hope to be updating this story more often. Again sorry and please read and review. Any ideas you guys have left me know and they might even end up in the story, and don't worry I always give credit to those that help me out. And just so you know Fury wasn't originally in this chapter. I just couldn't remember what I had in that one. Just when I was working on it I reread the review and in X00001's siad something about Fury so I went with it. So please read and review.

It had been about a month since Logan and Sarah had dealt with X-20 in the mountains. The other young mutants had hated the first few days Logan had returned in such a foul mood. He made them all work even harder and he snapped at the a little more often. But that went away as time went on.
It was afternoon and the kids were all at the local high school for there classes but should be hope in like thirty minutes or so. He stopped just outside of the kitchen as he heard noise from inside. He quickly sniffed the air to see who it was and the scent he was least expecting hit him. He walked into the kitchen and sitting at the counter eating a rather large sandwich and had the gallon of milk sitting open next to his plate. "What made you come here kid?" Logan asked leaning against the wall.
The boy looked at him as he started to drink straight from the milk jug. "Huh that was a very nice bike!" He said as he put the milk down. "And before you blow your top like you appear to be. It is perfect working order outside by the garage."
"Glad to know the bike is okay. And normally one would pour milk into a glass instead of drinking straight from the jug." Logan said shaking his head.
"Well I was planing on drinking the whole thing. So I figured why dirty a glass besides it only had about a third of the gallon left." He said as he began to eat the sandwich some more. "Man for a place with the kinda tech like this the security wasn't so hard to get around, then again your bike took care of the outside defenses thanks to that little chip you added to it." He said with his mouth full.
Just then Xavier rolled into the room. Logan had told him of the guest in the kitchen. "Ah so this is the young boy who took your bike Logan." Xavier said in a light hearted tone so as to not upset the boy.
Logan growled at that but he didn't seem to overly upset about it. Giving him that month to calm down before showing up was a good decision on X-20's part.
"Well I guess 19 is still considered young. But in terms of experience I don't consider myself a child." He said simply gaining a laugh from Xavier.
"Well in that respect I would guess not." Xavier said with a smile.
"So is it alright if I crash here?" He asked knowing Xavier wasn't one to turn someone away asking for help.
Just then both Logan and X-20's attention shifted and turned toward the window.
"Great what does that old wind bag want." Logan muttered as he started toward the door.
Out on the lawn a SHIELD helicopter landed and a man with graying hair and an eye patch climbed down the ramp flanked by six soldiers on each side. Logan met him on the lawn looking rather pissed about the sudden intrusion.
"Fury what do you want?" Logan asked over the sound of the copter.
"Cut the crap Logan you know why I am here so hand the boy over." Fury said and his soldiers had there weapons trained on Logan.
"Not gonna happen Fury." Logan said standing firm and he knew Fury knew better then to send his troops into the school.
"Logan look we let you keep the girl but the boy is a different matter. He is to dangerous to leave in the hands of civilians." Fury said smugly.
Just then the other students of Xavier's were returning from the High School and Scott and Jean from their volunteer job at the local mission.
Sarah was the first to Logan's side. Her eyes were narrowed at Fury. "What is this changed your minds on not using me as a weapon?" She yelled and the other students went inside knowing not to get in the middle of all that unless a fight broke out.
They were met with a unsuspected surprise when they saw a person standing next to Xavier in the kitchen. They all quickly noticed the resemblance of him to Logan and Sarah. Only he was much taller then the other two standing near 6 feet tall. They all stopped in shock and X-20 only smirked at their reaction to him.
Back outside the argument was getting rather heated. "Sarah go inside he isn't here for you." He said knowing that she would catch his meaning most likely.
She narrowed her eyes once again and let out a feral growl before turning on her heel and stomping back into the mansion.
"Look Fury just like with Sarah. I am going to be watching over the boy. He seems better adjusted then Sarah was at first so I know he will be just fine here." Logan said turning around to go back in the mansion the conversation was finished as far as he was concerned. Logan stopped when he heard the arming of the weaponry of Fury's men. "You can't be serious Nick. I thought we had and agreement with you guys that any mutant who came here seeking help would be left to get it. Well that boy came here and asked for our help and he will get it."
"Yes I know Logan but you don't know about this one. He was supposedly incinerated in an accident at a Hydra facility. He shouldn't even be alive and yet here he is on your door step after breaking into one of our facilities just like she did. Only he took files on this place and it's residents, as well as ones on Hydra facilities and it's locations." Fury said and as soon as Logan took a step toward the mansion a warning shot was fired just in front of Logan.
"Nick I am trying to be a nice guy don't push it. Those 12 little grunts of yours stand no chance against just me let alone all of the mutants here." Logan yelled as he saw the others appearing on the steps of the mansion and X-20 was in front of them.
"Why do you want me? Need someone to poke and prod to save the frozen dude? Or are you just pissed how easily I got into your facility." He said in a very cocky tone.
Then he noticed each soldier train their weapons on him instead of Logan. "Bad move boys." As soon as he said that the 12 men with weapons were suddenly sent flying back into the helicopter. No one on the steps even made a move and Fury just looked like he was about to blow a blood vessel.
Logan looked at the group of students and of them only Jean had that kind of power or Rogue if she copied it. Slowly he turned to look at Fury. "That was self defense Fury so it looks like you should leave. And I give you my word that I will keep him in line. Besides what would Cap think if he saw you trying to rob a boy of only 19 of a chance at a normal life after all the boy had been through."
Fury turned and began to storm off back to his Helicopter. "Fine Logan and that is the last time you get to play the Cap card to get your way."
Everyone watched the Helicopter leave and they began to cheer that they had kept Fury from getting what he wanted. Then they all turned to Jean and Rogue.
"Which one of you did that to the soldiers?" Bobby asked very excited.
"Bobby I didn't do it. I wouldn't copy red's powers without asking." Rogue said defensively at the accusation.
Then when all looked at her Jean threw he hands up shaking her head to say it wasn't her. "Sorry folks it wasn't me."
Everyone was confused except X-20 and Xavier who both shared a knowing look. 'It was you wasn't it.' Xavier asked X-20 telepathicly.
X-20 shook his head. 'No it wasn't me.' He replied to Xavier. 'It was actually me Mr. Xavier.' Said a female sounding voice that originated from within X-20's head. It was then that Xavier realized that two people were sharing the same mind. It did make him smile a bit seeing how they existed peacefully and easily like that. In a way it explained X-20's being adjusted so well as compared to Sarah when she first came into the X men's lives.
'Well my dear. Do you have a name of your own or do you go by X-20 as well?' Xavier asked the female voice.
'How kind and observant of you to see me as a separate entity from my dear brother here.' The female voice said. 'Well we did come up with names to call ourselves. I chose to go by the name Lily and I refer to my brother as Gideon. I do hate the code that they referred to him as.'
'Well Lily it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance and I am intrigued as to how you both ended up sharing the same body. And Gideon if it is alright I call you that, are both welcome to stay here as long as you like.' Xavier said telepathicly to them with a smile on his face.
Jean looked at Xavier then down at the new person.
"Funs over back inside all of you!" Logan said commandingly which every student obeyed. Then they were followed in by Logan, Xavier, and X-20.
