Here's chapter two, I hope you all enjoy it. The first few chapters may seem like a bunch of random scenes, but it will come together. Also in my story Melinda is 20 and Fin is 22.
"Oh, come on Logan. You know you want to." Emma Frost purred seductively as she leaned over, revealing even more of her cleavage to him.
Logan growled in frustration. "Fuck off, Frost." He dismissed, continuing with his work on the control panels for the Danger Room.
The platinum blonde telepath smirked before softly whispering in his ear. "Why are you so hung up on her? She'd never be with someone like you. You're nothing but an animal, Wolverine."
Suddenly he had her pinned against the wall. "Shut up," He barked out.
She chuckled softly, a smirk appearing on her lips. "This is what I'm talking about. You can't even control yourself enough to have a normal conversation with me."
He growled again as he let her drop to the floor. "You think that I don't know that already. I know I'm an animal. I know I'm not good enough for a woman like 'Ro." Logan said gruffly.
Emma then received the telepathic message Ororo had sent her. "Well, speak of the devil, looks like we'll have to continue this conversation later, Wolverine." She gracefully picked herself off of the ground as she began to walk out of the control room, swaying her hips in a provocative manor.

Ororo smoothed out her pencil skirt, letting a smile adorn her face before walking into the foyer. "Hello Moira, nice to see you again." She greeted, causing the woman to snap her head up in surprise.
"Likewise, Ororo, how have you been?" Dr. MacTaggert asked sincerely.
Storm shrugged slightly. "As good I can be with all that has happened recently." She replied, just as Emma sauntered into view.
"Emma Frost" She stated, holding her hand out towards Moira.
"Dr. Moira MacTaggert" The geneticist said, reaching out to shake the other woman's hand.
Ororo led them to the sitting room before speaking. "Now, Moira, I would like to discuss the reason you are here."
Moira sighed. "Valtex has succeeded in developing a new serum. They don't know how it will react with the mutant genes through, but they plan on finding out one way or another. It's very possible that they will find mutant test subjects, willing or not, and the X-men are at the top of that list." She reported, her heavy Scottish accent evident in her words.
The weather witch nodded solemnly. "Well, thank you for informing us. I know how dangerous it was for you to even come here."
She smiled at them. "I'd always help friends of Charles. I know how much this school meant to him." She said softly, reaching up to gently grab the diamond engagement ring hanging from a chain around her neck. "But there is also one more thing that you should know, the CFO, Joseph Townsend was found dead in his hotel room last night. The coroner has stated his cause of death to be a brain aneurysm, but I'm not quite convinced."
Emma then chimed in. "It was that telepath, wasn't it?" She asked with a hint of malice in her voice.
"It very well could've been, Emma. I'll contact you when I know more about it. I should be leaving now." Moira stated before standing up.
"Yes, I understand, and again, thank you. We really appreciate all you've doe for us." Ororo thanked as she too stood up, walking with her to the door. They said their goodbyes as Moira left. Ororo then walked back into the sitting room. "Emma-"
She was cut off by the woman in question. "Moira was telling the truth, but she knows more about that murder than she let on. She knows that it was the telepath. This means that the telepath also knows about the recent developments that Valtex has made."
Storm nodded. "Have you gotten close to finding out who she works for?"
"No, her mind is very hard to read. Her powers allow her to block my telepathic advances, even with the help of Cerebro. I mean with your mind, although it does take effort and I'm still not able access your full thoughts, I can at least get something. With hers, it's like there's a void. All I can hear is this static like noise and it irks me. How can she be more powerful than me?" The former White Queen explained, frustration filling her voice.
"Emma, you must not strain yourself. I understand it can be aggravating, but you are valuable to this team. We can't afford to lose you." Ororo said, a small smile playing on her lips.
"Thanks, Ororo, if you need me, I'll be down in Cerebro." Emma replied, turning sharply on her heel.
Ororo smirked. "Emma," she warned.
"I won't try to look for her." She said dismissively as she walked down the hall and towards the underground levels of the mansion.

Wanda Maximoff stared hard at the man sitting at the desk in front of her. "So are you going to accept my offer or what?" She asked.
"I'll accept your offer if you make sure Magneto doesn't interfere with my plans." The man, Ezra Dowling, retaliated.
"My father? I'll kill him for all I care." She spat, venom filling her voice. Wanda had hated her father ever since he had left her and Pietro at an orphanage. The only time that he ever talked to them was when he needed either one of their powers.
Ezra laughed. "Good, then we have a deal, Scarlet Witch."
Just as she was about to reply, a voice on the intercom rang out. "Jasira is back sir." The soft voice of a woman said.
"Send her in Julian." He answered before directing his words to Wanda. "You're about to meet one of my most trusted employees."
The doors opened to reveal a woman with long midnight black hair and smooth caramel colored skin. "Hello Ezra." She stated, not even bothering to glance in the direction of the Scarlet Witch.
"Hello Jasira, I trust that you found the information that I wanted."
"Of course I did, Ezra. Have I ever failed you?" She said in a challenging manor.
"No, you haven't. Jasira, I'd like you to meet Wanda Maximoff, the newest member of our team." Ezra introduced.
Wanda smiled slightly at the woman. Jasira just smirked at her before turning her attention back to Ezra. "Wanda you're dismissed, but remember to bring Quicksilver upon your return." He wrote off as Jasira sauntered her way over to him. She straddled him in his chair as Wanda hurriedly exited the room.
The next chapter will focus on introducing the rest of the X-men and establishing Fin and Melinda's characters. Anyways please leave a review, thanks! This chapter may seem suckish, but it is 6:50 AM, and I haven't been to sleep yet.
