Chapter 17 Doubts and Wants

Danny POV

I sighed walking down the hallway of Forks High next to Toad. He was a god friend, but he never shut up! All he did was talk and talk all the time! I swear, if he says 'yo' one more time…. I had to find something to busy myself with that did not include Toad.

"Uh, hey. I gotta go… do… stuff. I'll see ya later" I said running. I sighed in relief as I rounded the corner and bumped into someone. "Sorry" I looked up and did a double take. She looked exactly like Lec, but with brown hair and eyes.

"You must be Danny" she said and I nodded. Her tone wasn't angry or defensive. It was just… knowing.

"Yeah, you must be Lec's twin. The one with the Italian name"

"Yes. I know you're expecting me to go off at you, but I'm not" Well that was surprising. "I think you're above what you're doing. You just don't know it yet"

"I highly doubt it"

"You never know" she smiled. I smiled back at her and saw Lec leaving her class and meeting up with someone. "Go get her, Ghost Boy. Better hurry" I looked at her and smiled. I ran past her and over to Lec.

"What do you want" she demanded

"To hear me out. Pease" I begged. She exchanged looks with a girl who had long blonde hair and golden eyes.

"You have till lunch is over" she sighed and the blonde rolled her eyes. I smiled and silently thanked her. Lec looked at the blonde who was walking away and heading towards Bella. I took a deep breath and braced myself.

B POV

"Jasper's gonna kill you when he finds out" Rosalie said as she walked towards me. I rolled my eyes. Jasper was pretty pissed when Lec had explained what happened between her and Danny. It didn't help that I didn't side with him, but can you blame me. Danny sounded and was a nice guy. He was most likely Pietro, confused about what he wanted in life, but gives him some time and who knows? He maybe in one of our new students.

"I can handle Jasper. It's not like I did it without reason" I shrugged

"So why did you do it" We turned around and saw Logan join us.

"Because I have a good feeling about him"

"So, what? You're Phoenix force now have the ability to see the future" Logan mocked

"No. Good thing too. Wouldn't wanna give Alice a run for her money" I smiled and Rose rolled her eyes.

"Get serious, Bella"

"Oh, I am" I said and sighed "I just have a good feeling about him"

"He's Brotherhood"

"So was Pietro as look at him now. Technically so was Wanda. Not to mention so were Rogue, Peter and Remy" I pointed out

"They were" Rosalie asked. And I remembered that we never explained our origins of becoming X-Men. It would have to wait till later though.

"Yes they were. I'll explain it later, but back to the task at hand. Danny seems like a good kid. He… just doesn't know what he wants yet"

"And you do" they asked and I chuckled. They stared at me confused and exchanged looks with each other. I learned that Rose and Logan were the most skeptical of the group. Meaning that they would always question something and try to find a fault somewhere.

"I have a fairly good idea" I said looking back at Danny and Lec.

"Don't you dare?"

"Already did"

"You know your dad won't go for it"

"But mom will. Equaling dad will go for it" Logan frowned knowing I had won, but Rose was another story.

"And what about Jasper. And don't go say anything about Alice getting him to agree with it, Bella. Jasper's not that easy to pull over"

"I know and like I said earlier, I can handle him. Now let's go, Logan. I wanna go home."

"What makes you think I'm here to take you to the mansion?"

"I read minds" I reminded him. Logan muttered incoherently under his breath and Rose shook her head. I smiled and nudged him "Perk up. I get to do some Danger Room recovery sessions with you" He looked up and smiled

"Well what are we waiting for" he asked "Let's go"

"I'll see you guys after school" Rose sighed "Jasper's still gonna kill you"

"Nah. I can handle Jazz. Besides, Esme, Lec, Edward and Alice won't let him" I said confidently

"Bella, I think you forget. Jasper was a Civil War general" Rose said. My confident aurora wavered and I frowned. I forgot about that. Rose saw my confidence fade and started to smile. "Didn't think of that, huh"

"No… but I can find a way around Jasper. If I can find ways to break Logan, I can find ways to break Jasper"

"But the question is, can you do it before he breaks you" she asked. Curse Rosalie and her skeptical thinking!

"I'm sure I can. I'll see you later, Rose"

"Sure Bella. Bye Logan"

"See ya" Logan waved and we walked to the car Logan drove. He looked at me and smiled "You really think you can outsmart Jasper"

"Yeah, I do"

"Okay" he snickered

"What? You don't think I can" I demanded. Logan raised an eyebrow at me and I could see he was trying not to laugh.

"You weren't in a war with him. The man's got mad skills" That was code for 'Yeah, I do. And it's gonna be funnier Gambit flirting with Rogue'.

"Listen up, bub. If I can outsmart you with nothing but a can of beer and a grilled cheese sandwich, I can out smart Jasper" I snapped and got in. Logan laughed and slid in the driver seat. He had some nerve laughing at me. Especially after all the times I made a fool of him. Oh, but just wait Logan. I will outsmart Jasper and then we'll see who the last laugh was.
