A/N: I didn't expect this out so soon but you guys can thank my boyfriend for letting me borrow his computer. Mine is still pretty much shot. Anyways, hope you like this one. My boyfriend and I sure did towards the end, and please forgive an OOCness for the canon characters. I'm trying my best. Thanks for reading.
"Oh, Miss Alexandria, would you please introduce yourself to the class? Scott spared us many details about you." Alexis turned her gaze from the window to the young teacher. Her frown increased as she took a quick sweep of the room then glanced back up to the teacher.
"No." She stated calmly, turning to face the window again. The teacher stood still, her mouth slightly open, staring openly at the new student.
"Mr. Summers did say that you would be a handful but I did not except your blatant disrespect for authority to be this bad."
A smirk crossed Trans' face as she cocked her head slightly towards the teacher. A few of the students near her moved their chairs away from her as close to the other students as they could.
"Didn't think I'd be this bad, uh?" She stood up glancing around the room. "I don't need any of this. School is just a waste of time. When you know how to survive on your own without any blubbering adults help then you've learned the rules of nature. You're just wasting your time with this pointless nonsense and I'm not going to join you." With her small speech, rather yelling, she stood up, her chair screeching against the tile floor. The chair crashed to the floor as the girl walked out of the room calmly. The students erupted into conversation the moment she was gone, but Alexis could still hear the things they said-and ignored them.
The teen headed back to the room where she was supposed to stay and grabbed her new clothes. Might as well take them. It's not like they're going to miss them. She shrugged her shoulders and headed back out of the room. At the end of the hallway was Storm, her hands on her hips.
"Your English teacher told me what happened a few minutes ago. Alexandria-"
"My name is Alexis or Trans not Alexandria and that fat pig had no right to tell people it was." Storm nodded her head.
"Alexis, than, I am sorry. After Scott told me your story, or at least what he knows of it, I figured you would try your best to stay here."
Trans shook her head, her dark brown bangs swinging with the movement of her head. "No, I can't." I need to start opening up, but I can't find the strength to do so…Maybe just a little. Might get me out of classes at least. "I'll stay so long as I don't have to take the pointless classes. I don't need them. I might not be the smartest person in the world, but I've got street smarts and that's all that's needed to survive in this world now."
Storm nodded her head slightly. "I can't completely take you out of classes, but I can put you in ones that you would enjoy. Things like survival," she held up a hand to silence the girl before she even started. "I know you do not need the classes, but you could go in as an aid to the teacher, to lessen his load. Or, PE classes, things of that nature where you can still be physically active."
"How much time would I have to myself?" She asked, folding one arm over the other in front of her chest. Her spare clothes were thrown over her right shoulder.
"As much time as you would like. I've got an opening in about an hour right before lunch. Come to my office, its marked on the map Scott was supposed to give you." Alexis nodded her head slightly to say she would. "Good day to you, Alexis." The woman smiled at her again before turning to go back down the stairs.
Well, that blew those plans. So, much for leaving. Survival aid, huh? Might have to teach the old bat a thing or two. Sighing, she turned back to her room and threw her clothes back on her bed. Glancing out of the window she smiled to herself. I know where I'm going until I have to go see Storm.
Leaving the room, she headed down the stairs. At the bottom, still smelling slightly of alcohol was the man from earlier in the day. His back was turned to her, but she had a fleeting feeling he knew she was there. Trans stopped a few steps back from him, her hands at her side, fingers moving slightly ready as the rest of her body was. Very sense was heightened as high as she could make them go without adrenaline pumping through her body.
"What are you staring at pipsqueak?" He demanded without turning, his voice husky. Trans huffed.
"I'm not staring. There's a big barrel of a man taking up over half the staircase when other people need to get by." The man started putting out an aura, Alexis knew very well. Her brown eyes narrowed, but she stood her ground as the man, she remembered Scott calling Logan, turned to face her.
"You have a big mouth for such a small girl." He commented fully facing her now. Trans glared at him; her own anger rising up to met his. No backing down. The rules of the wild kill the weakest and I will not give in to this man.
"Really? You have a rather small penis for such a big man." A shinging noise sounded threw the staircase. There wasn't a verbal response, but six metal claws, three on each hand. One single slim eyebrow arched as Alexis looked from the claws to the man's bearded face.
"Is that supposed to scare me? I've seen more threatening cubs in the wild that hadn't even opened their eyes yet." A sneer crossed Logan's face as he took one step towards her.
"I'm giving you one last chance before you become fish food." Alexis smirked back at the man.
"I'm not scared of you. You can try and kill me. I'll just heal in a couple of weeks. Your claws aren't worth anything either. I could just change them into something else and make them totally worthless, but if I changed them back, you'd never have them at full strength again, so I'd watch who you're messing with."
I hate talking down opponents, but it's a small part of nature's law. I'm not going to back down and following the ways of the wild is all I know. I can't know- don't want to know any other type of life rules to follow when these have worked so well for me.
"Child, you have no idea." He left the rest of his threat blank, knowing a person like Alexis would understand the rest of it without knowing his exact words.
"Ahem, ahem." It came out like a cough, but both Logan and Alexis knew someone was trying to get their attention. Neither of them took their eyes off of each other.
"What do you want, One Eye?" Logan asked without turning around to face Scott. He has a sense of smell like me than, or better.
"I was told by a few students that you were trying to kill another student. I came to stop you."
"Stop me? You never could." Alexis smirked at that. At least, someone else hates him as much as I do.
"Ah, I see you've met Alexandria. Storm informed me she was going to be your new survival aid." Logan looked Alexis up and down before sheathing his claws like the blades they were.
"I've had enough with you calling me Alexandria and telling others it's my name. I'll give you one more chance before I rip your spine out. It's Alexis or Trans. That's it." She stepped forward. Her common sense of any normal rules she had, had left when Logan and her and gotten into their word battle.
Scott frowned. "I will not have a student especially you talk to me in such a manner."
"And what are you going to do about it?" Trans demanded. Logan stepped closer to Scott, grabbing him by the collar and yanking him to his face only inches away from his own.
"If she's my aid, then I administer her punishments not you or anyone else. Do you understand me?" Scott huffed trying to breath and not look weak at the same time.
He's a weaker species. He needs to be disposed of now before he cripples his pack. Alexis thought, refolding her arms over each other in front of her slender frame.
"And don't think you're the only one suffering from Jean's death." He whispered roughly into the smaller man's ears. Alexis's brows furrowed together. I probably wasn't supposed to hear that. But it just proves me right. He's suffering from loss. She glanced back over to Logan. And he said that there are others. Is he suffering too?
Logan finally put Scott down who in turn only fixed his shirt before turning to Alexis. "Do not forget that Storm has requested your presence right before lunch in her office." The female teen nodded her head before watching him nod to the larger man in front of him and walk off. Logan turned back to face her.
"You're going to be my aid?" Trans let a small smirk slide across her face.
"Don't worry. I won't disrespect you too often in front of your students. Might not have to correct you to often either. You seem like the kind of person who knows what the wild is really like."
"And how would a child like you know anything of the wild?" A small smile spread on Alexis's lips.
"Because I lived there for two years. It teaches people things most of these people here will never know. Never dreaming of knowing." Logan nodded his head, knowing the logic she spoke.
"The name's Alexis, but you can call me Trans."
"Wolverine."
